Magnificent Sanctuary Band

About the band

Magnificent Sanctuary Band

Magnificent Sanctuary Band is a Jerry Garcia Band tribute out of Humboldt County, California. The line-up is singing drummer Darin Mitchell, keyboardist Brian Swislow, bassist Norman Bradford and guitarist Bryan Kraus; the Talent Club listing also credits Mitchell and Kraus to Velvet Sea, Swislow to Object Heavy and Kraus to Grateful Get Down. Their set is drawn from the Jerry Garcia Band and Legion of Mary catalogues rather than the Grateful Dead's own, played for dancing rather than for reverence. They work the far-northern California and southern Oregon circuit, including Blue Lake Casino in Blue Lake, the Crazy Horse Saloon in Nevada City, and the Talent Club in Talent, Oregon. The band takes its name from the Dorsey Burnette song Garcia recorded, which is why searching the name mostly returns the song.
