Decades after Jerry Garcia's passing his artistry still thrives. Channeling Jerry checks in with a variety of musicians who continue to tread the storied path blazed by Garcia and his bandmates. It's an ever-evolving conversation with new ones coming in as the old ones go.

Channeling Jerry is a hi-gloss, 8.5'' x 11'' soft-cover book partly about Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, but more specifically it highlights musicians who honor and explore Garcia's acclaimed legacy. The book features photos of and conversations with artists including John Kadlecik, Jeff Mattson, Steve Kimock, Mark Karan, Garrett Deloian, David Gans, Joe Craven, Joni Bottari, Katie Skene, Andrea Whitt, Halina Janusz, Lisa Malsberger, Vic DeRobertis, Stephen Inglis, Anela Lauren, Tyler Grant, Joe Marcinek, Marcus Rezak and Josh Olken. It sheds light on the ongoing story of Garcia's music as his seemingly unstoppable sound continues to thrive and, in some cases, even reinvent itself. Each interview includes a brief equipment-talk section (for the gear-heads among us). Like a rose unfolding, Jerry's spirit lives on.
