Nels Cline To Guest With Phil Lesh & Friends At Capitol Theatre

Last year we suggested that Phil Lesh add Wilco guitarist Nels Cline as one of his band members for one of the many multi-night runs he had in store for 2014. Our wish has been granted, kinda, since Cline will sit in with Phil Lesh & Friends at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on May 29 and 30.

Phil’s band for the run includes keyboardist John Medeski, drummer Joe Russo and guitarists John Scofield and John Kadlecik. Medeski has performed with Cline a number of times over the past year as part of MMW+C. Nels took over Wilco’s lead guitar spot in 2004. Last summer Bob Weir sat in with Wilco at a handful of AmericanaramA festival stops.

Tickets are available for both shows via the venue’s website. There’s also a Nugs.TV webcast available.
