Starting with an acoustic first set, Boris Garcia opened the night with songs from the soon to be released "Once More Into The Bliss" album, combined with classics from the first 2 albums. The second set brought with it more great songs, electric guitar, keyboards, and jams. After recording 3 albums in as many years, the boys are relaxing and letting loose. If you haven't witnessed the mesmerizing instrumental musings of this band live, well it's time that you have. They truely are something to behold.

Despite 48 hours of dire weather predictions and a snowstorm, BORIS GARCIA fans packed Philadelphia’s MERMAID INN this past Friday night to mark their first Philly area club performance in over a year.

2007 is almost over and Boris Garcia wants to help you usher in 2008. That’s right, New Year’s Eve is on its way and Boris will be working one more night, this time at Crazy Carl’s in our favorite Pennsylvania town, Schwenksville, just a few miles from the Philadelphia Folk Festival site. The evening will begin with Spring City Ballet, then Boris Garcia takes you into the new year! Tickets are limited so act fast! Gather your friends and c’mon down to Schwenksville town and join the party. You were good to us in 2007 and it’s only right that we return the favor. The show will feature favorites from the first two Boris Garcia albums and a number of songs from the upcoming third CD, “Once More Into The Bliss.” For more info and tickets visit http://www.crazycarls.com. Let’s send off 2007 in style and welcome in 2008! We get off in Schwenksville Town!

Looking back at 2007, Boris Garcia has a lot to be thankful for. We spent the year spreading our tunes near and far as we took off on a festival tour across the land, finishing the season at Gathering of the Vibes. We got to meet and play with some who have inspired us, and heard a lot of great music along the way. Thankful we are.

Fall has us back in the studio recording our third album and the songwriting, instrumentation, and playing continues to evolve. Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone, who has a rich musical past and a way about him that fits in with Boris quite nicely, is producing and we’re back in Studio Four with our good friends Phil Nicolo and Frank Moore, with Jeremy in the back somewhere pushing buttons. All we can do is smile and give thanks to all who have been part of this trip, and say, “Hang on, we’ve got some great new music coming your way!”

Peace
BG

Sounds like an adventure movie, or maybe a series of books about the adventures of Boris Garcia. The truth is... its the truth. Boris Garcia will be playing this friday, saturday, and sunday (aug 10, 11, & 12) at the Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport Connecticut. BG will be found on the Sound Stage with David Gans, Juggling Suns, and the Kind Buds. More than likely Boris Garcia will be playing sets, then jamming, then maybe sitting in or being sat in with.
The line for the Vibes is truly one of the best found anywhere this summer.

Boris Garcia has just returned from playiing a sweltering set at the Bethlehem Musikfest. The folks from Godfrey Daniels were there along with 400 new friends. Aside from the heat, Musikfest was great!

The month of August finds our heroes embarking on yet another adventure. Having just returned from A Bear’s Picnic in beautiful central Pennsylvania, Boris Garcia took a little time to remember the great people and music. OK, enough. It’s onward to another great adventure, this time to Black River Falls, WI, for the Grateful Garcia Gathering, where Boris Garcia will be sharing the stage with a great line-up including Melvin Seals & JGB, Donna Jean & the Tricksters, Moon Alice, and a bunch of other talented folks. BG will be taking main stage Friday and Saturday around 4.

On the way, the band will be stopping in to visit our friend Stu Levitan for an appearance on his radio show on WXXM in Madison, WI. If you’re looking to escape the heat of summer, why not take a road trip to the cool and soothing climate of Wisconsin and catch us at the 3Gs.

New big news for the band comes by way of Oakland, CA and syndicated radio show “Grateful Dead Hour,” hosted by David Gans. David caught up with Boris Garcia at A Bear’s Picnic where he interviewed a few of the guys in the band. Tune in to his show airing the week of August 6 and hear what transpired between DG and BG, not to mention some new music that just might be live festivals tracks from the Boris Garcia Summer of Love 40th Anniversary tour CD in the works.

Summer is in full swing and Boris Garcia is out and about playing
festivals and meeting friends along the way. This weekend (July 21 & 22) finds BG in West Milton playing at A Bear's Picnic. Boris will be accompanying David Gans for his set on Saturday afternoon, then return on Sunday for their own afternoon performance.

Other acts on the bill include Railroad Earth, NRPS, Donna Jean and the Tricksters, and the Peter Rowan & Tony Rice Quartet, just to name a few.

A Bear's Picnic is located at Friendship Park, a small private campground located on the base of Bald Eagle State Forest in Central, PA. For more info visit http://www.abearspicnic.com

Hey now! What are you Grateful for???

Boris Garcia just returned from a great night at Penn's Peak where they were the opening act for the one and only Little Feat. New friends were made, old friends seen. All in all the summer equinox will be one to remembered! Thanks to all who took the time to visit with us after the show, and to the good folks at Penn's Peak for making us welcome. Nelson Ledges is next.

Boris Garcia is set to open for the legendary LITTLE FEAT on Thursday, June 21 at the extraordinary Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe, PA. Penn's Peak is one of Northeast Pennsylvania's unsung jewels and also one of the nation's finest live music venues. Showtime is 8 p.m., with Boris
performing an hour-long set.

Upcoming BG performances include Saturday, July 7 at Grateful Fest at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in Nelson, OH and Saturday, July 21 at the Music Mountain Festival in Upper Salford ( can you say Schwenksville town??), PA. From there, it's just a short trip to Friendship Park in New Columbia, PA for A Bear's Picnic, where Boris will share a stage with our good friends New Riders Of The Purple Sage on Sunday, July 22.

It's gonna be a busy summer, we'll see ya at the show!!

Boris Garcia has just returned from a most excellent time at Schwagstock 33 in Salem, Missouri, and we want to thank all of the kind hippie folk we met while we were there. Every once-in-a-while you can take a different road or turn a corner and find something special, and that's exactly what happened the instant we hit Schwagstock.

The Schwag headlines Schwagstock, performing a wonderful tribute to the Grateful Dead and more, pulling this vibey gathering together four
to five times a year for over a decade. Boris played Friday and Sunday nights’ mainstage, and were asked to do an impromptu live radio performance on Saturday afternoon on ZOE Radio, the remote from KDHX/St. Louis (88.1). Jim Bruce is the master of that domain, spinning an eclectic mix of jam, roots, bluegrass, jazz and more. We layed down a performance that was simulcast live on the grounds and will be aired again on 88.1 at a later date. Check the Web site at kdhx.org for more information and to listen online. Thanks Jim.

EOTO (two members of the String Cheese Incident) spun their web of jammy electronica all weekend and Boris was graciously asked to sit in with the Schwag on Sunday night’s final performance. Great Jams and a Great Time! Thanks to Jimmy T and the guys!!!

Great bonds and friendships were established this weekend; you can be sure Boris will visit the kind folks in Missouri again very soon.
Next up: a busy June and July including Little Feat, a few festivals and more. Check out the Tour page on borisgarcia.com for more details - BG
