Brendan Bayliss & Jeff Austin’s 30db Announce Rare East Coast Fall Shows


A few years ago, Brendan Bayliss of Umphrey’s McGee and Jeff Austin—at the time a member of Yonder Mountain String Band—formed a new musical project called 30db. The project was a great outlet for the two songwriters, even if it only lasted for a short period of time. After unofficially parting ways in 2012, the pair has made it a point to come together each December in Chicago over the last few winters (in 2015, 2016, and 2017) treating fans to originals from their 2010 album.

In the spring, the duo revived their 30db project, adding a number of one-off performances for a couple of rare shows outside the winter months. Following highly successful performances in the Midwest, including shows in Milwaukee and Chicago in May, today, 30db has announced a Northeast run in September.

Bayliss and Austin will appear at Shoe Fest in Manteno, Illinois, as 30db across Labor Day weekend. Following this festival appearance, the pair will head to the Northeast, with stops in New York City and Boston. On September 7th, 30db will perform at the original City Winery venue in New York City, with plans to perform both an early and a late show for eager fans. From there, the group will head to Boston’s City Winery, again offering both early and late performances on September 8th.
