The Blues Project was a band from the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City  that was formed in 1965 and originally split up in 1967. While their songs drew from a wide array of musical styles, they are most remembered as one of the earliest practitioners of psychedelic rock, as well as one of the world's first  jam bands, along with the Grateful Dead. In 1964, Elektra Records produced a compilation album of various artists entitled,
The Blues Project
, which featured several musicians from the Greenwich Village area who played acoustic blues music. One of the featured artists on the album was guitarist named Danny Kalb,  who was paid for his two songs. Not long after the album's release, however, Kalb gave up his acoustic guitar for an electric one.
The sons of Adam were a rock music band of the 1960s. Previously known as the Fender IV where they began in Baltimore 1962, then moved to Southern California. The Sons of Adam were provided their new name by Kim Fowley record producer, and recording artist known for his hit song Alley Oop. The Sons of Adam musical direction shifted dramatically with the British Invasion and Beatlemania. The popularity of surf music waned and their style changed to a vocal based R&B Rock songs.
Quicksilver Messenger Service is an American psychedelic rock music band, formed in 1965 in San Francisco and is considered one of the leading acts on the city's psychedelic scene in the mid-to-late 1960s. Essentially a jam band, Quicksilver Messenger Service gained wide popularity in the Bay Area and with psychedelic rock enthusiasts around the globe. Many of their albums ranked in the top 30 of the Billboard Pop charts. Though not ultimately as commercially successful as their contemporaries Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead, the band was integral to the beginnings of their genre. With their jazz and classical influences, as well as a strong folk background, the band attempted to create a sound that was individual and innovative. Member Dino Valente drew heavily on musical influences he picked up during the folk revival of his formative musical years. The style he developed from these sources is evident in Quicksilver Messenger Service's swung rhythms and twanging guitar sounds. After many years, the band has attempted to reform despite the deaths of several members. Recently, original members Gary Duncan and David Freiberg  have been touring as the Quicksilver Messenger Service, using different musicians to back them up.
