The fifth grade class from Guadalupe Elementary in Excelsior, San Francisco (near where Jerry was raised), recently created a beautiful tile mosaic mural of Jerry. The project was sponsored by the Community ArtReach Program of the MMG Foundation which works in San Francisco to put art programs into deserving schools. Last November, the Jerry Garcia Estate raised over $35,000 for the foundation at a San Francisco City Hall Art Auction.





The newest Pure Jerry release is now available: Warner Theatre: March 18, 1978.


Two new releases are now available from the Jerry Garcia Store:

J.Garcia records is delighted to announce the upcoming release of two long-sought Jerry Garcia live recordings with Rhino Entertainment, both available now for pre-order from the Jerry Garcia Store:

JERRY GARCIA BAND: LIVE AT SHORELINE and THE JERRY GARCIA COLLECTION, VOL. 1: LEGION OF MARY -- both are available for pre-order today at the Jerry Garcia Store, and will be released on August 9th and August 23rd, respectively.

JERRY GARCIA BAND: LIVE AT SHORELINE is the first-ever DVD release of a Jerry Garcia Band show, filmed on September 1, 1990, at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. A Grateful Dead show was originally scheduled for that date, but the Dead's brilliant, passionate keyboard player, Brent Mydland died in late July. Rather than cancel the gig, the Jerry Garcia Band stepped in to deliver one of their most heartfelt performances.

IF YOU PRE-ORDER LIVE AT SHORELINE DVD, you can receive your copy on the release date*. Also available as an exclusive from jerrygarcia.com is a Jerry Garica Shoreline t-shirt for only an addtional $10 when purchased with the DVD.

THE JERRY GARCIA COLLECTION, VOL. 1: LEGION OF MARY is the first-ever live release of recordings by the legendary Legion of Mary, the vibrant, loose and jazzy quintet Jerry formed at the end of 1974 with Merl Saunders, Martin Fierro, John Kahn and Ron Tutt.

LEGION OF MARY features fourteen tracks on two CDs taken from seven shows in San Francisco, Berkeley, and Portland. All selections are previously unreleased soundboard recordings, newly mastered with HDCD sound.

THE JERRY GARCIA COLLECTION, VOL. 1: LEGION OF MARY will be released on August 23, but IF YOU PRE-ORDER LEGION OF MARY FROM JERRYGARCIA.COM, YOU WILL RECEIVE your order on the release date and receive an EXCLUSIVE, ADDITIONAL DISC OF LEGION OF MARY MUSIC, more than 70 minutes of never-before released soundboard recordings.
