MELVIN SEALS & JGB
Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years with a long established reputation as a performer, recording artist and producer. Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high spirited, Hammond B 3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B3 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 serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.
Melvin and JGB bring an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to
the table. John Kadlecik on lead guitar and vocal duties, John Paul McLean's savory bass,
Jeremy Hoenig on the drums and, of course, a heapin' helpin' of the wizard's magic on
Hammond B3 Organ and keyboards. Their chemistry is the focus from which they create a
spontaneous and high art where the sky is the limit musically. They offer an exciting, often
psychedelic musical journey that changes nightly and keeps the audience dancing and smiling
(and some staring in amazement) for hours.
Adding his rock gospel soul rhythm and blues touch with his funky style of playing, no wonder
Jerry nicknamed him "Master of the Universe". Melvin continues to treat music lovers to his
unique brand of melodic flavor with JGB. Come see and hear for yourself!
