Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years, and 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 the Jerry Garcia Band 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 & JGB bring an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to the table. The band includes John Kadlecik on lead guitar and vocal duties, John-Paul McLean on bass, Jeremy Hoenig on the drums and, of course, a heapin? helpin? of the Wizard?s magic on Hammond B-3 Organ and keyboards. Given his rock-gospel-soul-rhythm and blues touch with his funky style of playing, no wonder Jerry nicknamed Melvin Seals ?Master of the Universe?.
Don’t miss the band?s triumphant return to the wonderfully intimate and great-sounding Great American Music Hall in celebration of the Grateful Dead?s 60th Anniversary!
