Kris Myers, who has played drums for Indiana rock outfit Umphrey’s McGee since 2003, just announced his departure to focus on other projects.

Days later, Dopapod drummer Scotty Zwang was confirmed to take over for Myers. But for this run of Florida dates only, Widespread Panic drummer Duane Trucks (who, if you know anything about Southern rock, is part of one of its most prolific families) is set to bang the cans.

“Playing with Duane is always an honor and our time connecting with Scotty last fall uncovered something special—an intangible spark we’re excited to explore further,” the band wrote in a statement.

Tickets to see Umphrey’s McGee play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Sunday, June 1 are still available and start at $35.
