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.
