As we inch closer to the summer, more and more shows are being added to the mix for Phish‘s massive Baker’s Dozen residency at Madison Square Garden. With a seemingly endless amount of late night shows and pre-parties already announced, today we are happy to announce a new late night show that pairs one of New York’s biggest musical heavy hitters with one of the city’s most talented up-and-coming performers. The Eric Krasno Band will perform a special late night concert at The Cutting Room on Friday, August 4th, and they will be joined by special guests the Brandon “Taz” Niederauer Band.
Krasno needs no introduction, as he has been essentially running NYC for years, making his name as a founding member of Soulive and Lettuce while developing himself into one of the most in-demand guitar players in the city. His solo band has been on the road for some time now, delivering material from his solo album Blood From a Stone alongside a few choice Grateful Dead covers that have allowed he and his band to stretch out into the improvisational space where he shines the brightest. Kraz recently built The Daze Between Band show during Jazz Fest, and is also known for his prowess as a bandleader as the musical director for several SuperJams at Bonnaroo and the PowWow at Okeechobee. At this point, Kraz is one of the best pound-for-pound talents in the game, and we can’t wait to see what he brings to the table for this special late night performance.
Brandon “Taz” Niederauer should be no stranger, since, at this point, he has cemented himself as a rising star. Niederauer, still only 14 years old, was discovered by Butch Trucks, mentored by Col. Bruce Hampton, and has been cutting his teeth the past two years as one of the stars of the smash hit Broadway musical School of Rock. Niederauer and his band have been making the rounds as of late, hitting New York venues like American Beauty, The Iridium, The Blue Note, and a headline play at The Cutting room earlier this year.
