About 40 years after joining the original Jerry Garcia Band,
Melvin Seals & JGB delivered on December 20 two solid sets at a private, socially distanced performance. The gathering of a few dozen folks, mostly masked, took place on a bright, sunny afternoon in the small Sierra Nevada foothill community of Auburn, Calif. That the improbable, COVID-era show happened all was thanks to the tireless efforts of local concert impresario Scott Holbrook and his Keep Smilin’ Promotions.
This, the ninth annual Very Jerry Christmas show, all of which Melvin Seals & JGB have headlined, was a benefit for the next (2021, hopefully) Jerry Day, an 18-year tradition that typically takes place in August in San Francisco. And the good news for all is that nugs.net will stream the show for free, at 5 p.m. PT, Saturday, December 26, 2020 at https://nugs.tv/free/?showID=459.
