Our coverage of the 2023 Deep In The Valley festival continues!
Today we have site favorites Garcia Peoples set. Unfortunately, Danny (Guitar, Vocals) and Cesar (Drums) were unable to make it. Thankfully a friend of the band, Ryan Jewell, was on hand to play with Ryley Walker and was able to sit in. With this unique line-up, the band treated us to a single 30+ minute piece of improvisation.
Launching into free improv isn’t something new for Garcia Peoples. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things about them. They are so comfortable with it that I often don’t know if it’s truly improv or a new song they are working on. It’s honestly embarrassing how many times I’ve had to go up to Tom or Andy after a set and ask if something they did was song I don’t know or just jam. Spoiler alert; it’s almost always a jam.
I recorded this with my MBHO cards at stage lip and very nice board feed from FOH engineer Daniel Stout. The quality is excellent!

Danny and Cesar were unable to make the show so Ryan Jewell sat in on drums and the band did a 30 minute improv piece.

Thanks for posting this. It was a great set and a beautiful day, and, while not entirely an improvisational piece, in that it is a cover of the highest order, is one of two times I’ve ever heard another band play a Gong song at a live music event (AMT being the first). Good job, GP. Om banana yum cha cha!
