Melvin Seals & JGB

Friday, October 18, 2019 at 7:30 PM at Lebanon Opera House

Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years, most notably as the high-spirited, Hammond B-3 organist/keyboard player in the Jerry Garcia Band.

Seals spun his B-3 magic with JGB for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer what has now become “jam band music.” From blues and funk to rock and jazz, he serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.

At LOH, John Kadlecik (Furthur, Dark Star Orchestra, Phil Lesh & Friends) will be featured on lead guitar and vocals alongside John-Paul McLean’s savory bass, Pete Lavezzoli’s hearty drums and, of course, a heapin’ helpin’ of the wizard’s keyboard magic. The band will be joined by Sunshine Becker and Lady Chi on backup vocals.

Together, they offer a joyful, often psychedelic musical journey that changes nightly and keeps the audience swaying—and smiling—for hours.
