Oteil, who started off the New Years runs four days earlier, was back in New York to celebrate NYE. Oteil and his crew were ringing in the new year at the Brooklyn Bowl with very special guest, Brandon “Taz” Niederauer.

Oteil’s line-up included Melvin Seals, Eric Krasno, John Kadlecik, Jay Lane, & Jennifer Hartswick plus Natalie Cressman & Weedie Braimah.

After Oteil and friends counted down to 2019, they burst into “Lovelight.” Taz took center stage with an absolutely blistering guitar solo. Oteil’s look as Taz was jamming is priceless. Next up, Oteil with Taz in tow busts out one of my favorite Jerry Garcia Band tunes, “Express Way To Your Heart.”
