On Friday, Aug. 2, Leftover Salmon and Daniel Donato Cosmic Country blew through The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y. for a special performance honoring the music and legacy of the great Jerry Garcia, who would have turned 82 on August 1. To pay tribute to the endlessly innovative artist who gave shape to today’s jam, psych and alt-bluegrass scenes, the bands presented sets specially tailored to his staples, with Donato joining the foundational Colorado jam ensemble for the bulk of its tried and true “Workingman’s Salmon” set.

American indie rock band Wilco has delivered a number of albums since their start in 1994. Some of those releases are considered legendary in the American indie rock songbook.

A noteworthy piece of work would be the 2001 release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, which has been hailed for its excellent songwriting and musicianship, as well as the controversy surrounding its release.

Bringing together former members of Santana, the Steve Miller Band, and Frumious Bandersnatch, the musicians created the rock band Journey. The group continues to perform, consisting of Jonathan Cain, Jason Derlatka, Deen Castronovo, Arnel Pineda, Neal Schon, and Todd Jensen.
