TAUK has teamed with video production company Sugarshack to release a beautifully edited full video of the band’s guest-filled TAUK, Paper, Scissors! super-jam from the 2022 edition of Mountain Music Festival in Minden, WV.
While the prog-jam quartet primarily performs instrumental music, keyboardist Alric “A.C.” Carter, bassist Charlie Dolan, guitarist Matt Jalbert, and drummer Isaac Teel used the TAUK, Paper, Scissors! as a karaoke blowout, showcasing a string of powerful guest vocalists alongside a beefed-up backing band. Guest performers included Kanika Moore (vocals, Doom Flamingo), Antwaun Stanley (vocals, Vulfpeck), Clyde Lawrence (vocals/keys, Lawrence), Jennifer Hartswick (trumpet/vocals, Trey Anastasio Band), James Casey (saxophone, Trey Anastasio Band), Jordan Cohen (saxophone, Lawrence), and Jason Hann (percussion, The String Cheese Incident).
In addition to a creative mix of covers ranging from Earth, Wind & Fire to Nelly to Bill Withers to Thundercat to The Beatles and beyond, TAUK and Kanika Moore used the opportunity to give fans an early taste of their fruitful TAUK Moore collaborative project, which went on to release a string of original singles and mount a lengthy joint tour in the months that followed.
“When Mountain Music Festival approached us with the idea of inviting a bunch of our favorite musicians for a set, we knew we had to put something special together,” said TAUK’s Matt Jalbert about the performance. “It was such an incredible experience to bring all of these insane talents together and put on this show. Every single performer brought something to the table.
