A Night of Jazz, Groove & Garcia

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:

• Scott Guberman on Keys & Vocals
• Tony Saunders on Bass & Vocals
• Jonny Mojo on Guitar & Vocals
• John Mitchell on Drums
• Jake Temple on Sax
• Stephanie Hartwell-Mandella on Vocal
• Keystone will play 2 sets with Max opening the show with a 20-minute set

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.
