Echo Music Hall, The |
Dallas |
TX | Droning guitar scrapes & light keys after 8.5 min morph into explorative textures over a confident-yet-understated groove. Descending, atonal piano near 11 min as Jake wrestles melodies. Rhythm section rises with guitar & keys to great effect, then sidesteps into new space with ride cymbal, circular guitar licks, melodic bass, & synth accents, e.g. 13 min. In lieu of a peak, Jake leans into Chappell Roan's song of the summer at 15 min, again at 16 min as the band froths, & once more at 17.5 min. |

Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | An early ebullient departure via Dani synths, measured guitar, and a patient, in-the-pocket rhythm section. Organ swells after 6 min redirect Jake from percussive play to drawn-out lead lines that turn crunchy after 8 min, when sustained synth layers affirm the exploratory intent. A descending, spare, delicate piano melody after 9 min imbues emotion and movement into the jam. Guitar, bass, and drums rally around that theme and play out as the jam froths from 11 to 13.5 min before a clean return to Sweaters. |

Higher Ground |
South Burlington |
VT | Whammy haze and echoing synths push the sound early, e.g. 4 min. Jake explores with Tru-Tron sear over Dani's gentle bed of synths and piano. Guitar and keys display more bite from 7-8 min, then hook up before the move to Jet Airliner generates momentum from thin air. |

Charleston Pour House |
Charleston |
SC | Sustained synths at 3 min lure the band into improvisational space quickly. Digital, sustained tones from Jake and Dani intertwine, e.g. 5 min. Rolling drums and bass after 6 min, and Alex dresses things up with drum pad hits to signify the move into Tomorrow Never Knows. |
