Melvin Seals has carried the JGB torch, waving it high and wide, since Jerry’s passing. Just like fine wine, he and the band continue to get better each time they take the stage, sharing the history and music we all know and love. The band is now tighter than ever with the addition of John Kadlecik. “John is number one at sitting in that seat of simulation. Many players have licks that sound like Garcia, but John is full force with a sense of originality,” says Seals.  

It is with great pleasure and respect that Melvin Seals & JGB welcomes John as a permanent member of the band.

Melvin Seals & JGB is also rolling out these 2020 tour dates with many more to come, so we hope to see you on the road!
