Friday night in Chicago, if you squint you can see both drummers

Last summer, after Tea Leaf Green drummer Scott Rager tore ligaments in his ankle, drummer Cochrane McMillan also toured with the group. In an interview with Jambands.com, guitarist Josh Clark then commented on the impact of two drummers, “All the songs are completely different versions on this trip and every night has been radically different from the others and every night’s been tighter and tighter too. They’re really starting to lock in.” So it’s been an unexpected surprise and it’s been a lot of fun.” The fun will continue for some time to come, as this past Thursday night as Tea Leaf Green made its way to Bloomington, IN to kick off the current leg of it winter tour at The Bluebird, TLG, keyboardist Trevor Garrod made an announcement from the stage at the outset of the show, introducing McMillan as the latest official addition to the band.

Tea Leaf Green is off until Wednesday when the band will appear in Columbia, MO at The Blue Note.
