Bonnaroo kicks off today in Manchester, Tennessee with a loaded lineup featuring a taste of many different genres. Longtime Bonnaroo vet John Medeski will pull double duty at this year’s fest as he’s set to perform with a pair of supergroups – The Word and Spectrum Road.

Spectrum Road features Vernon Reid on guitar, Medeski on keys, Cindy Blackman Santana on drums and Jack Bruce on bass. The group came together over a love of jazz-rock fusion band Tony Williams Lifetime and have just put out a self-titled debut. Bonnaroo will be one of the group’s first gig, though they have performed in Tokyo before where this clip of Vuelta Abajo was filmed…

Spectrum Road – Vuelta Abajo

Spectrum Road will play The Other Tent at Midnight on Saturday evening.
