TAUK Links Up With Umphrey’s Members For High-Voltage TAUKing McGee Late-Night [Photos/Videos]

This past Friday, January 19th, following the first of three Umphrey’s McGee 20th Anniversary Run shows at The Beacon Theatre in New York City, Umphrey’s bassist Ryan Stasik and keyboardist Joel Cummins shot downtown to the Highline Ballroom and linked up with instrumental rock fusion quartet TAUK for a very special performance under the moniker TAUKing McGee.

Beginning at 1:30am, the red-hot band never cooled through the early hours of Saturday morning. The performance included songs from both bands’ catalogues of original compositions alongside a variety of exciting covers like Living Colour‘s “Cult Of Personality” (with a special surprise appearance by Umphrey’s drummer Kris Myers on lead vocals), Michael Jackson‘s “Human Nature”, The Beatles‘ “Come Together” (with TAUK drummer Isaac Teel singing lead), George Duke‘s “Reach For It”, Carl Carlton‘s “She’s A Bad Mamma Jamma, and a show-closing rendition of Rush anthem “Tom Sawyer”.
