The Garcia Project Announces Spring 2026 “Jerry Garcia Band Time Machine” Tour — 18 Dates from Utah to Maine
The Garcia Project returns to the road this spring with an 18-date U.S. tour, bringing its acclaimed “Jerry Garcia Band Time Machine” to cities across the country.
Known for faithfully recreating full, unaltered setlists from 1976 through 1995, the band delivers the healing tone and spirit that defined the original Jerry Garcia Band experience—focusing on groove, dynamics, and the emotional arc of complete shows rather than a greatest-hits format.
The tour begins with two special nights at The State Room in Salt Lake City, Utah, on April 30 and May 1, featuring special acoustic sets by The Pranksters, setting the tone for a run that includes several standout multi-night engagements.
In the Midwest, select dates will also feature acoustic sets by Shakedown Strings on May 7 in Lincoln, Nebraska, May 8 in Kansas City, Missouri, and May 9 in St. Louis, Missouri.
Among the highlights is a two-night stand at Woodward Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 11 and 12, presented as a “Weekend at the Warfield”—two consecutive performances recreating classic Warfield-era Jerry Garcia Band shows.
Additional two-night runs in Salt Lake City and Natick, Massachusetts, offer audiences the opportunity to experience multiple eras across back-to-back nights.
“They remind me of what it felt like to sing these beautiful songs with Jerry Garcia.” — Jacklyn LaBranch
With a growing national following and a reputation for authenticity, The Garcia Project continues to invite audiences into a fully immersive experience—bringing the sound, feel, and communal spirit of classic Jerry Garcia Band performances back to life.
