Karina Rykman will play bass in Late Night With Seth Meyers‘ house band The 8G Band for episodes airing next Tuesday, September 6 through Thursday, September 8. Rykman steps in for regular 8G Band bassist Syd Butler on the NBC late night talk show.

“I’ve always been kind of obsessed with late night television,” Rykman told Live For Live Music after explaining Butler recommended Karina as his substitute. “It’s an honor to step in and cover for Syd Butler on bass in The 8G Band.”

Karina is the latest in a long line of jam scene-associated musicians to perform with The 8G Band. However, it’s usually drummers filling in for Fred Armisen. Joe Russo (Joe Russo’s Almost Dead), Nikki Glaspie (The Nth Power), Stanton Moore (Galactic) and Terence Higgins (George Porter Jr.) are among those who have sat behind the kit on Late Night.
