This year marks the 25th anniversary of the seminal underground comedy Wet Hot American Summer. In honor of this most prestigious milestone, writer/director David Wain and co-star Ken Marino, alongside their Middle Aged Dad Jam Band, are hitting the road for a special summer tour.
Following a July 13th appearance at a Billy Joel tribute in LA, the group has five northeast dates slated for late July. In addition to an “ever-growing library of classic rock covers,” each concert event will feature “songs, unseen footage, and other memories from the movie.” The band’s lineup will include Shudder to Think‘s Craig Wedren, who composed all of the music for Wet Hot American Summer.
