BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
In the summer of ’69, nearly half a million fans came to a small dairy farm near Woodstock, NY to witness an era-defining festival that continues to influence the musical world over 40 years later. Gary Adamson (guitar/vocals) certainly carried on the traditions of peace and love borrowed from the Woodstock generation when he decided to assemble a group of seasoned musicians to pay tribute to the festival on its 40th anniversary in 2009. Taking the name Back to the Garden, the group soon turned into a dedicated touring and gigging group, united by their mutual reverence for the sounds of the '60s and '70s. Though the roster has seen several musicians come and go, regular members include Adamson, Annie Masciandro (drums), Bob Fonseca (keys), Larry Kelly (lead guitar), Tom Sprock (bass), and Fred Walcott (percussion). With a sense of community that far outweighs their individual contributions, Back to the Garden allows new and old fans to recapture the magic and music of Woodstock.
Back to the Garden 1969 group were energetic and performed a good selection of songs. Instrumentation was good and voices were a little week for some songs. Overall, a great performance. Would recommend their return.
