Jam-rock stalwarts the Aquarium Rescue Unit have announced they will kick off their 13-city reunion tour of the U.S. on July 29.
Under the mentorship of Col. Bruce Hampton, the dream team of world-class instrumentalists will bring their distinctive brand of experimental and progressive rock to fans in cities from Boulder to New York. Since forming in 1988, the band has been an inspiration to jam acts that include Phish, the Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler and Bela Fleck, among others. The Unit has also been a breeding ground for some of the genre’s best players, including bassist Oteil Burbridge, who went on to work with the Allman Brothers, and drummer Jeff Sipe, who has had a flourishing career with Phil Lesh and Bela Fleck, among others.
