Jerry Garcia Birthday Art and Music show Music By Tony Saunders Band and Keystone Revisited

As we celebrate the birthday of Jerry Garcia, we invite you join us for a powerful evening of music as Tony Saunders takes the stage in Sausalito with two electrifying sets: one featuring the smooth, jazz-infused sounds of the Tony Saunders Band, and the other celebrating the legendary collaboration between Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders with the band Keystone Revisited. Tony’s journey began in his youth, playing alongside his father, Merl Saunders, and Jerry Garcia during the legendary Monday night jam sessions at the Sand Dunes—an experience that shaped his musical soul. The Tony Saunders Band channels the spirit of those nights, bringing a jazz-forward sound reminiscent of Merl’s band Aunt Monk, where Jerry would often sit in, stretching musical boundaries and blending genres. Following this dynamic opening set, Keystone Revisited will take you back to the golden era of Garcia/Saunders, Reconstruction, and Legion of Mary—the groups that gave birth to the iconic Live at Keystone recordings. This special performance features: Scot Guberman on keys Jonny Mojo on guitar Stephanie Hartwell Mandella on vocals John Mitchell on drums Jxake Temple on sax And Tony Saunders on bass, who once filled in for the legendary John Kahn Together, these incredible musicians revive the soulful, exploratory sound that defined an era. Tony’s latest release, The Romance Continues, is currently signed to Baja/TSR Records, and its first single climbed to #6 on the Billboard charts. Don’t miss this unforgettable night of deep grooves, jazz journeys, and Garcia magic.
