Yeah I’m not on board. Jakeless UM is not for me. Add in no Myers and I’m just not feeling it.

anyone catch the Blue Echo vocal stew from Pine Creek.. can’t make out a lot of what Bayliss says but i think there’s some details in there for sure..

ā€œcan’t take that backā€ ā€œsoon i’ll find a replacement, see you aroundā€ ā€œstart in december, through a whole seasonā€

yeah, a couple posts about it on the setlist thread. welcome to the bort btw.

Certainly entitled to that emotion. That’s the beauty of music.

Out of curiosity, have you seen any UM4.0?

Had more fun at the show I saw than I have seeing UM since probably 2017

I get where you’re coming from, it was a really enjoyable show. Loose and they still peak stews well. Lotta patience, was great to see. I love Jake, but they definitely still throw down sans the duel guitar.

Peeps was cool to see with moe. as that song requires at least 2 guitars for the soaring ending

what happened to Jake? (serious answers only)

There’s only enough room for one drunk guitarist and Bayliss has seniority.

The long and short of it is: we don’t really know.

Some people hear things through various grapevines and inside sources, but all we’ve officially heard form the band is ā€œJake is taking a necessary leave of absence for personal reasons. We love him immensely and support him completely.ā€ That was March 9th.

Other than that, nothing has been said officially by either the band:management or Jake. People do love to speculate though, and the most prevalent theory is that he is dealing with a drinking problem that was adversely affecting his relationship with the rest of the band, or was burnt out from touring, or some of A and some of B. But really, we don’t know.

If you want to scroll back through the 1800+ posts here you can get a better timeline, but basically he’s been gone since February and there’s no timeline for a return. I think it’s assumed at this point that he’ll be gone until they announce either he’s back or he’s not coming back. Last update was something like ā€œJake will remain off the road for the time beingā€ which was right before the Memorial Day run.
