BORIS GARCIA: News

Bands happen because they're meant to be...because they contain an energy that simply must find expression. To be clear, Boris Garcia isn't a person, it's a band. Inspired by their predecessors: The Grateful Dead, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, Railroad Earth and Yonder Mountain String Band, Boris Garcia has cleverly twisted the free form spirit of the Jam Band scene with folk, jazz, blues, and the joyous fluidity of bluegrass music to forge their own sound: Jam Grass. "Once More Into The Bliss" produced by Railroad Earth's Tim Carbone is the newest offering from Boris Garcia and features guest appearances from Buddy Cage (New Riders), Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay (Grateful Dead), and Carbone. Armed with an impeccable stage show, high energy and a dozen different strands of Americana music, Boris Garcia is ready to take "Once More Into The Bliss" out on national tour, sharing the stage at times with their compadres, The New Riders of the Purple Sage. Boris Garcia is a band. How they got their name, well, that's another story.

That’s right, New Year’s Eve is on its way and Boris will be working one more night, this time at Crazy Carl’s in our favorite Pennsylvania town, Schwenksville, just a few miles from the Philadelphia Folk Festival site. The evening will begin with Spring City Ballet, then Boris Garcia takes you into the new year! Tickets are limited so act fast! Gather your friends and c’mon down to Schwenksville town and join the party. You were good to us in 2007 and it’s only right that we return the favor. The show will feature favorites from the first two Boris Garcia albums and a number of songs from the upcoming third CD, “Once More Into The Bliss.” For more info and tickets visit http://www.crazycarls.com. Let’s send off 2007 in style and welcome in 2008! We get off in Schwenksville Town!

Looking back at 2007, Boris Garcia has a lot to be thankful for. We spent the year spreading our tunes near and far as we took off on a festival tour across the land, finishing the season at Gathering of the Vibes. We got to meet and play with some who have inspired us, and heard a lot of great music along the way. Thankful we are.

Fall has us back in the studio recording our third album and the songwriting, instrumentation, and playing continues to evolve. Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone, who has a rich musical past and a way about him that fits in with Boris quite nicely, is producing and we’re back in Studio Four with our good friends Phil Nicolo and Frank Moore, with Jeremy in the back somewhere pushing buttons. All we can do is smile and give thanks to all who have been part of this trip, and say, “Hang on, we’ve got some great new music coming your way!”

Peace
BG

Sounds like an adventure movie, or maybe a series of books about the adventures of Boris Garcia. The truth is... its the truth. Boris Garcia will be playing this friday, saturday, and sunday (aug 10, 11, & 12) at the Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport Connecticut. BG will be found on the Sound Stage with David Gans, Juggling Suns, and the Kind Buds. More than likely Boris Garcia will be playing sets, then jamming, then maybe sitting in or being sat in with.
The line for the Vibes is truly one of the best found anywhere this summer.

Boris Garcia has just returned from playiing a sweltering set at the Bethlehem Musikfest. The folks from Godfrey Daniels were there along with 400 new friends. Aside from the heat, Musikfest was great!

The month of August finds our heroes embarking on yet another adventure. Having just returned from A Bear’s Picnic in beautiful central Pennsylvania, Boris Garcia took a little time to remember the great people and music. OK, enough. It’s onward to another great adventure, this time to Black River Falls, WI, for the Grateful Garcia Gathering, where Boris Garcia will be sharing the stage with a great line-up including Melvin Seals & JGB, Donna Jean & the Tricksters, Moon Alice, and a bunch of other talented folks. BG will be taking main stage Friday and Saturday around 4.

On the way, the band will be stopping in to visit our friend Stu Levitan for an appearance on his radio show on WXXM in Madison, WI. If you’re looking to escape the heat of summer, why not take a road trip to the cool and soothing climate of Wisconsin and catch us at the 3Gs.
