Instrumental rock-fusion quartet TAUK have added new dates to their 2017 tour. Headlining some of the biggest venues to date in Denver, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and New York, the tour will take them around the country before a summer festival season that will see them featured at Summercamp, Electric Forest, FloydFest, LOCKN’ and more. In addition to their headline shows and festival appearances, they will co-headline with Papadosio in Minneapolis and offer direct support for Railroad Earth, and STS9 for select shows - see below for full tour schedule. Openers have been added for many of the shows and have been announced below.
For a sneak peek of what to expect when TAUK hits the road, the Oyster Bay, NY quartet have also announced that they will begin selling select live shows via Nugs.net. The first release from the band’s archives, which is available today, is a two-set show from October 13th, 2016 at The Waiting Room in Omaha, NE. Guitarist Matt Jalbert said “We’re excited to be releasing our shows through Nugs.net so that fans can have a place to find high quality live soundboard recordings from us. We’ll be putting up some older shows to start, and will continue to release more shows from our upcoming tours.”
TAUK are touring on the heels of their latest studio album Sir Nebula. Released on September 16, 2016 via STS9’s record label 1320 Records, Sir Nebula was produced by Grammy award winner Robert Carranza. Steeped in a juxtaposition of genres as diverse as jazz, rock, funk, electronic, ambient, and hip-hop, Sir Nebula emphasizes the band’s knack for creating progressive melodies and producing intrinsic soundscapes.
