Melvin Seals and JGB
Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high-spirited, hammond B-3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with JGB for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer and define what has now become “jam band music”. From blues to funk to rock to jazz, Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and Gospel thrown in to spice things up.
Melvin continues to treat music lovers to his unique brand of melodic flavor with JGB. Come see and hear for yourself!

As the band has traversed new territory, their astronomical rise has continued nationwide. Armed with an evolving catalog of material and cultivation of an identity unique to dogs in a pile, the quintet is laying down a musical and communal foundation most often associated with the scene’s most beloved acts.
