Fox Theatre, The |
Boulder |
CO | Jazzy interlude mixes with Wayless, albeit briefly, at 5 min. Patient ascending jam unfolds after 7 min. Subtle tingly synths from Dani embody the band’s chill confidence after 8 min. Mike’s gurgling bass after 9 min gives the jam heft, but we’re in no hurry. Jake leans into peaky-adjacent play after 11 min before they hit the chorus to wrap this tidy jam around 12 min. |

Levon Helm Studios |
Woodstock |
NY | Stretches in place with a repeating easy-going bluesy lick from Jake at 6 min. Builds around that theme and the sound fills out, e.g. 9 min with Tru-Tron tones and more active drums; piano support adds levity. Gets growly at 10 min, with organ swells. Froths to a brief peak after 11 min before return to Wayless. |

Virginian Lodge, The |
Jackson |
WY | Works in delicate space at 6 min. Fills out at 8 min via Jake runs, synth washes, & active rhythm section. Darker, experimental crunch develops 10-11 min, then sprawls, guided by a measured, descending Jake melody that rings out, e.g. 13-14 min. Rhythmic, upbeat play emerges by 16 min. Turns focused after 18 min with a bouncy, tight, forward-leaning piano groove. Clav yanks band's rhythm at 20 min, & a near-drum solo with organ pivots jam to new, driving space from 21-22 min. |

Cornerstone |
Berkeley |
CA | This band is a four-headed monster. Delicate Jake and Dani interplay at 5 min. Patient and gorgeous and on a wire at 7 min. Strongly anchored by Mike, e.g. 8 min, and grows peaky with sheets of sounds from 10-12 min. Chaotically tips over to a peak around 13-14 min before vocal return at 15 min. |

State Room, The |
Salt Lake City |
UT | Synth-soaked bass drives a head-bobbing, heavy groove after 6 min. Jake's searing tone has gravity, e.g. 7 min. Measured sizzle around 10 min. Crunchy play gives way to distorted guitar harmonics at 11-12 min, then piano and bass push ever-so-slightly. Band gloms on, leading to peaky terrain. A collaborative riff around 13-14 min galvanizes. Whammy haze clears new space at 15 min with rolling drums before Jake pushes the gas and Mike and Alex happily join the fray for Coming Up segue. |

Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park |
Live Oak |
FL | Minor key, hazy, ascending passage 4-6 min. Peaky, measured guitar with driving drums and bass 8-10 min, then quieter. Piano buoys the proceedings while Alex adds agile accents as they work back up to Wayless after 12 min. |

Lincoln Theatre |
Raleigh |
NC | A guitar-led dark and brooding march after 5 min. Evil Eggy is always welcome! Dani synths add welcome discomfort with aplomb after 6 min. Lead lines sing out from Jake around 8 min. Occasional pauses catch the crowd off-guard, but the band quickly lays back into their punishing soundtrack. Frothy, head-banging play, e.g. 9 min, steps through a secret door back into the Wayless chorus at 10 min. Wow! |

Barrelhouse Ballroom, The |
Chattanooga |
TN | Jazzy Smile tease happens after 6 min. Syncopated, bluesy play at 7 min gets a piano shot in the arm and enters peaky terrain by 9 min before returning to Wayless before 11 min, albeit with "screaming" guitar effects supplementing Jake's usual tone. |

Brooklyn Bowl |
Philadelphia |
PA | Guitar explores as Clav gives way to peaceful keys after 5 min. Energetic-yet-constrained play unfurls, e.g. 7 min, and Mike's compressed tone shines in contrast with the shimmery synth tones. Repeating guitar runs, in unison with bass, are mesmerizing from 8.5 min until 9.5 min, before the band gives way to a democratic post-peak simmer replete with hazy Jake touches that float a path forward to Searchlight. |
