Sunshine Garcia Band

Sunshine Becker — born Sunshine Flower Garcia in Oakland, and no relation to Jerry, though singing behind Bob Weir and Phil Lesh in Furthur from 2009 has made people assume it for years — fronts this band as singer, flutist and songwriter. She has sung with Melvin Seals & JGB and, since 1995, with the a cappella group SoVoSó, out of Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra. The band's lineup is curated show by show rather than fixed, and the sets run Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band material alongside funk, rock and soul, which is why only the nights billed as the Dead's are listed here. They play the Bay Area: Grateful Dead Night at Oracle Park, the Pier 39 parties, Sweetwater Music Hall.
