The Third Mind

The Third Mind - “We had a crazy idea and were looking for musicians who perhaps didn’t think it was so insane”. – Dave Alvin Starting four years ago as a wishful music fantasy, The Third Mind, a super group deemed “Californian Psychedelic Rockers” by Doom Charts, has now become a powerful and thrilling sonic reality. With two studio albums now available, The Third Mind’s debut live performance at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2023 in San Francisco and a short tour following, concert goers are calling this livee show a must-see. Called folk-rock, blues, jazz, post-punk, and freeform psychedelia with dark, moody yet hopeful and beautiful sonic landscapes, the “neo-psychedelic” (Press Democrat) band used their decades of experience, playing both traditional and non-traditional music to mesmerize the fans. The brainchild of Grammy award-winning songwriter/guitarist Dave Alvin and veteran alternative music bassist Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven, Monks of Doom, Eyelids), The Third Mind's recordings also feature Jesse Sykes from her critically acclaimed group, Jesse Sykes and The Sweeter Hereafter, drummer Michael Jerome (Richard Thompson, Better Than Ezra, John Cale), guitarist David Immerglück (Counting Crows, Monks of Doom, Camper Van Beethoven), and legendary LA musician, Willie Aron on Keys. The Third Mind will present their forthcoming live psychedelic improv performances with the addition of guitarist Mark Karan (Bob Weir's Ratdog, Phil Lesh, Delaney Bramlett) subbing for Immerglück. "When we debuted live at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, I felt like I’d come home. I’m excited to be playing in The Third Mind’s live touring line-up.” - Mark Karan (Bob Weir's Ratdog, Phil Lesh, Delaney Bramlett). “The Third Mind might scoff at calling themselves a jam band, but their mind-expanding set in Portland made it clear that they may just be the coolest jam band out there right now whether they like it or not.” - Glide Magazine “By breaking out of their comfort zone, The Third Mind have created music that offers up a kaleidoscope of aural colors. Fresh and wildly extemporaneous, no song is played the same way twice.” – Coachella Valley Weekly “I was ecstatic at their show at Moe’s Alley and I wish I could see it again.” – Brad Kava (Good Times Editor) “Pretty Damn Unforgettable” , “Consider my Third Mind officially blown." – MusicFestNews (of the show at The Troubadour, 2023) The Third Mind / 2 - LISTEN / BUY: https://ffm.to/thethirdmind2 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thethirdmind Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thethirdmindband/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thethirdmind/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheThirdMind Website: https://www.thethirdmind.net/
