With Umphrey’s McGee invading Colorado for four nights, including the premiere of their Reel To Real film, naturally live music lovers will be searching for something to do once UM is finished playing. Fortunately, a bevy of after parties are taking place in the Denver area, giving fans the opportunity to jam out all night long.
Since guitarist Marcus Rezak is featured in a number of shows presented by Dream Focused Entertainment, we asked him to tell us a bit about each performance throughout the New Years run. Here’s what he had to say:
12/30 – Hodis Half Note – Fort Collins, CO: “A group exploring deep 80’s synth funk and guitar shredding territories. Song selections will include covers of Com Truise, Tycho, and Boards of Canada. Band members include Justin Ehmer and Fred Reisen of Dynohunter and Jesse Clayton formerly of Fareed Haques group.”
12/31 – Quixotes, Denver, CO – Official Umphrey’s after show: “Binary Sunset featuring me, Wyllys, Justin Ehmer. Music will feature a large portion of Deep House pumping you all the way through the night!”
1/1 – Quixotes – Denver, CO: “ Fade Runner featuring Joel Cummins, Wyllys and me, performing an array of Drum and Bass morphing into Disco set. Also performing that night will be Jake Cinninger, Earphorik, and Eminence Ensemble.”
1/2 – Quixotes – Denver, CO: “Brothers Rage will be a majority of original music mixed with a few hit covers. I’ve been performing with Brothers Rage, including a recent Umphrey’s McGee Halloween after show in Milwaukee.”
1/3 – Cervantes Masterpiece – Denver, CO: “Secret Other Family is a supergroup comprised of Joey Porter and Garret Sayers of The Motet, Wyllys, Nicholas Gerlach of Turbo Suit, Tanner Bardin of Eminence Ensemble, and me. This is will be the all out weekend banger to close out NYE week. The band will be going all out on disco and funk!”
