Ep. 6: Beyond the Grateful Dead - Exploring the Bay Area's Jam Band Legacy

Get ready to get your jam on! In this episode of the Music City San Francisco podcast, we're diving deep into the heart and soul of jamming, jam sessions, jam bands, and the entire jam culture that's got its deepest roots right here in the Bay Area. We're talking Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and many more. We’re not just looking back, though; we're looking at the here and now, exploring how this spontaneous form of musical expression is alive and kicking in San Francisco, with places like Music City and local legends like Anthony Arya leading the charge. We even feature special guest Michael Ruy. Ever wonder how bands are born? Sometimes, it's just two musicians, a stage, and the magic of the moment. From the roots of jazz to the heart of blues, we're unpacking it all. And to keep you on your toes, you get a special treat: an exclusive interview and musical performance by the incredible Anthony Arya, fresh off his record release party and a whirlwind tour of jam-friendly venues. So, tune in, turn it up, and let's get this jam started! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
