Boris Garcia's special brand of outlaw mystic will be riding into
town on Friday November 28th at the Sellersville Theater in
Sellersville, PA (www.st94.com) to celebrate the release of their new
Dig/Ryko CD "Once More Into The Bliss." Produced by Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth, it features eleven new tunes with the help of Buddy Cage (NRPS), Donna Jean Godchaux-McKay (Grateful Dead, DJ and the Tricksters) and Carbone. Tickets are on sale at the Sellersville Theater box office and are limited, so advance purchases are encouraged.

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.
