Matisyahu backed by Dugan and Marscher

Matisyahu decided to tour with only Dub Trio instead of his usual backing musicians for much of 2010. However, the singer will continue to perform with several of his former bandmates and regular collaborators in the new rock band Cloud Runner. In addition to Matis, the group will feature past Matisyahu band members Aaron Dugan (guitar), Jason Fraticelli (bass) and Rob Marscher (keyboards), along with Mark Guiliana (drums). The band will make its debut at New York’s Mercury Lounge on January 26.
