After a short opening set from John Kadlecik of Furthur, Bonerama took the stage with its three-trombone attack. In addition to its originals, the band busted our covers like Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean."

The tour was full of sit-ins, with different special guests at each show. In Baltimore, Anders Osborne was joined by Bonerama, who only played the tour's Baltimore stop.

Dumpstaphunk and Anders Osborne played a four-night run in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and New York City for the HeadCount/Magic Hat Participation Tour. They were joined by special guests John Kadlecik, Keller Williams, Bonerama, Questlove and more.

While the tour's purpose was to sign up eligible voters, proceeds of the four-night run went towards Hurricane Sandy relief.
