The Legendary seminal musical collaboration project of Jerry Garcia, Martin Fierro, John Kahn, and Merl Saunders lives on, like a fine wine uncorked a quarter of a century later. Come taste the band!
Today’s Legion of Mary continues to mine the funky, fertile musical landscape first traversed by those musical pioneers of a quarter century ago.
Martin Fierro felt it was necessary to bring back that spirit and joy that was experienced by all "back in the day." Assembling a band of like-minded and experienced musicians in 1998, this version of the Legion of Mary has been rapidly creating quite an underground stir again. This time, the fans are a much wider group of folks. You’ll see old-time Deadheads, young jam-band fans, and folks that just want to shake their booty to a funky, groovy, soulful mix of good-time music with a touch of jazz and sense of adventure.
Given the deep musical roots, and relationships forged over the years, Legion of Mary is likely to entice a wide array of guests to join them onstage. In Arkansas, Earl Cate, from the legendary Cate Brothers band, sat in for some musical fireworks. While sharing the bill with Little Feat in San Francisco’s Maritime Hall, fellow Garcia collaborator Howard Wales (Hooteroll?) dropped by, as did some of Martin’s old buddies from Zero. On the Allman Brothers Band's "Dont Trust Any Band Under 30" Tour last year, Martin was asked to sit in on their Bay Area shows at Shoreline and Concord. On any given night, you’ll never know who’ll pop up to add to the fun!
So, once again, Legion of Mary arises to keep the musical legacy alive, and take it to new heights. Truly "a band from the past with music for the future."
