Since then he has toured across the US with eclectic lineups featuring the likes of Ike Willis, Kris Myers, Jay Lane, Scott Page, and more; led his band through two tours on the US Virgin Islands; spearheaded official Umphrey’s McGee afterparties, and continued to hone his chops in his home studio and licensing endeavors.‘Truth in Sound’ is Rezak’s most recent work featuring members of Trey Anastasio Band, esteemed percussionist Kaylan Pathak, and more.
