Pure Jerry

Pure Jerry is a Philadelphia-based Jerry Garcia tribute band built around Michael Sanfosso on guitar and vocals, with Bob Albasi on keys and vocals, Kris Kehr on bass and Raiden James on guitar and vocals, plus a longtime front-of-house engineer in Tom Hoffman. Several core members live at what the band calls the Pure Jerry compound in West Mount Airy, Philadelphia. Their shows run through the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band books and out into Dylan and related material, and they play clubs around Philadelphia and Bucks County.
