When Wet Hot American Summer / The State alums David Wain and Ken Marino aren’t working on funny stuff, they’re playing the greatest classic rock songs of all time as part of Middle Aged Dad Jam Band. They know all your favorites, from “More Than a Feeling” to “Monster Mash” (no “Freebird,” sorry) and you can watch a few clips of their “garage sessions” below. This is the whole band lineup:
- Ken Marino – lead vocal
- David Wain – drums
- Frank Barrera – guitar
- Sweet Teddy P – bass
- Jon Spurney – keys/guitar
- Jordan Katz – trumpet
- Henry Wain – sax
Middle Age Dad Jam Band shows are not that frequent, but they’ve got a little tour lined up and most shows have some cool guests, like the sold-out L.A. show on July 8 that has Weird Al Yankovic, Craig Wedren, fellow State co-founder Joe Lo Truglio, and more.
There are two Brooklyn shows at The Bell House on July 22 (sold out) and July 23 (tickets), which are with Ken Marino’s The Other Two castmates Drew Tarver, Heléne Yorke, and Josh Segarra, plus the great Richard Kind and another The State alum, Kevin Allison.
There are also MADJB show in Rehoboth, DE and Philly. All dates are listed below.
