Dave Alvin with Jesse Sykes and Mark Karan

Show Dates are Subject to Change

We had a crazy idea and were looking for musicians who perhaps didn't think it was so insane.

The Third Mind

Starting four years ago as a wishful music fantasy, The Third Mind, a supergroup 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 live 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.

Band Members

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)
• 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.

Performance Reviews

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

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)

By breaking out of their comfort zone, The Third Mind has 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
