Led by the legendary Col. Bruce Hampton, the Aquarium Rescue Unit brought their 26th anniversary tour out to The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY for a night of memorable, jam-filled music. The ARU features bassist Oteil Burbridge, drummer Jeff Sipe, guitarist Jimmy Herring, and keyboardist Matt Slocum, along with Col. Hampton, who sings and plays his own instrument, called a chazoid.
