[ROCK] Creating set lists based on vintage Jerry Garcia Band shows, Garcia Project takes Grateful devotion up a notch with a meticulous eye for detail. Plus, there’s nothing like getting a nod of approval from the mothership: 15-year JGB keyboardist Melvin Seals has let Garcia Project’s Mik Bondy sit in recently with his still-touring version of the Jerry Garcia Band, and Seals will return the favor at festival dates with Garcia Project this summer. Casual Grateful Dead listeners needn’t worry about an esoteric set: the Garcia Band often dipped into the Dead’s catalog and had a penchant for covering well-known Motown, soul and blues numbers—a little something for everyone. Local faves Workingman’s Dead will do an acoustic warm-up at Tralf Music Hall on Friday, April 3.
