Two distinct Texas voices. Two remarkable journeys. One unforgettable tour.
Melvin Seals & JGB
Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years with a long-established reputation as a performer, recording artist and producer. Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high-spirited, Hammond B-3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer and define what has now become “Jam Band Music”. From blues to funk to rock to jazz, Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.
Melvin and JGB bring an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to the table. John Kadlecik on lead guitar and vocal duties, John-Paul McLean’s savory bass, Jeremy Hoenig on the drums and, of course, a heapin’ helpin’ of the wizard’s magic on Hammond B-3 Organ and keyboards. Their chemistry is the focus from which they create a spontaneous and high art where the sky is the limit musically. They offer an exciting, often psychedelic musical journey that changes nightly and keeps the audience dancing and smiling (and some staring in amazement) for hours.
Adding his rock-gospel-soul-rhythm and blues touch with his funky style of playing, no wonder Jerry nicknamed him “Master of the Universe”. Melvin continues to treat music lovers to his unique brand of melodic flavor with JGB. Come see and hear for yourself!

GLASS ANIMALS EXTEND ‘TOUR OF EARTH’ WITH 2025 DATES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
KICKING OFF THE TOUR IN SARATOGA!
Tickets Available Starting Wednesday, March 19 with Presales
General Onsale Begins Friday, March 21 at 10am Local at GlassAnimals.com
Saturday, June 7 in Saratoga Springs, NY at Broadview Stage at SPAC, with additional stops in Asbury Park, Richmond, Charleston, Jacksonville, Tampa, and more. Special guests SOFIA ISELLA and Orla Gartland will join the band on select dates. Alongside the Tour of Earth 2025 announcement, Glass Animals have released a short documentary with footage from the first leg, capturing the culmination of 14 years of growth, creativity, and connection, showcasing how this tour became a shared experience between both the band and their dedicated fanbase. Watch HERE.
Glass Animals’ 2024 Tour of Earth captivated audiences worldwide with sold-out performances across North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia, including headline shows at legendary venues like Madison Square Garden, Kia Forum, O2 Arena, and the Sydney Opera House. Marking their biggest global tour yet, the band has played over 60 shows since launching last year. Most recently, they expanded their tour to Asia, delivering electrifying performances in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, and Mumbai. In addition to their own headline dates, the band will also headline a handful of major festivals across North America this summer, including New York’s Governors Ball Music Festival, Manchester, TN’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Montreal’s Osheaga, and more.
“This tour has made me feel some emotions. The crowds have been another level of incredible…the outfits, the big crowd projects that keep blowing us away all over the world, the synchronised dances…and the inflatable cows. They’ve just felt so epic and joyful that 1. we had to do a little mini documentary of the tour so far…and 2. it only made sense to do a few more shows around the festivals we had planned. Also… everyone was livid that we missed Florida, Minnesota, and Oregon. I get barraged with messages every day. Peer pressure works. We are coming to see you.” – Dave Bayley, Glass Animals
The Tour of Earth supports Glass Animals’ critically acclaimed fourth studio album, I Love You So F***ing Much, released in July 2024 via Republic Records. Since its debut, the album has amassed a staggering 250 million streams, including 150 million Spotify streams, 90 million YouTube views, and 135 million TikTok views, solidifying its place as a global sensation. Not to mention, the band recently teamed up with Mura Masa, Jakwob, and Para For Cuva to release several remixes of fan favorite tracks off the album.

Solaar Fest Pt. 2 feat. Dead Guy Fashion & Kale
Well friends, we’re throwing another party to support our little buddy Solaar and her family as she continues her treatments! The last event we held back in November at OMG was incredible and we’re excited for this one too! One of Mya & Solaar’s absolute favorites, @kale.band will be kicking off the evening with new local powerhouse @deadguyfashion closing out the night!
We will have food: wraps, chili, soup, etc.
We will be asking for donations at the door but as always, all are welcome. We originally put this idea together simply to create a fun night for Solaar and her family to lose themselves in the music and step away for their troubles for a bit, well, if you are in need of that too and don’t have a few bucks to contribute, no worries!
We will also have raffles (including a pair of Phish tix)
as we still have quite a few items that were donated for the November event.

Annie In The Water w/s/g Fungkshui

At times you may find yourself in the calm of the flow while at other times you may be deep in the rapids while the music churns and grows in energy. With the ebbs and flows you’re reminded of the constant that you are a part of something greater than yourself, working together with the forces around you and caught in the midst of a beautiful moment in time. Each performance is another adventure.
