Jerome John Garcia (August 1, 1942 – August 9, 1995) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known for
his work as the lead guitarist and as a vocalist with the band the Grateful Dead, which came to prominence during the counterculture era in the 1960s.[2][3]Although he disavowed the role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader
or "spokesman" of the group.[2][3][4][5]
One of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career (1965–1995). Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the
Saunders–Garcia Band (with longtime friend Merl Saunders), the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo, Legion of Mary, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage (which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson).[2] He also released several solo albums, and contributed to a number of
albums by other artists over the years as a session musician. He was well known for his distinctive guitar playing and
was ranked 13th in Rolling
Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" cover story.[6]
Garcia was influenced by music at an early age,[16] taking piano lessons for much of his childhood.[17] His father was a retired professional musician and his mother enjoyed
playing the piano.[8] His father's extended family—who had emigrated from Spain in
1919—would often sing during reunions..
