TAUK is an American four-piece progressive rock-fusion band from Oyster Bay, New York.
Tauk (pronounced "talk", shortened from Montauk, NY)[1] has toured with Umphrey's McGee, Disco Biscuits, Papadosio, STS9, The String Cheese Incident,[2] and others. The group tours the United States regularly every year, averaging about 160 shows.[3] In 2015, the group released Headroom, the band's first double-CD set culled from live performances.[4] Much of their recording is done in collaboration with engineer Robert Carranza, who has produced three of their studio albums.[5]
