Live performances and tour
The first hint heard of the Nick Hexum Quintet was actually on 311 Day 2012 when Hexum performed Bob Marley's "Waiting in Vain" solo, which was later recorded in similar fashion and put onto My Shadow Pages.[6]
The Nick Hexum Quintet did head out on tour as well. They had a three night run at Hotel Cafe in October 2013 and went nationwide in January 2014.[7]
The live show included songs from the album, 311 mash-ups and a 'dice jam'. For the 'dice jam' they would roll three dice and it would determine the mode, tempo and key of the song that they created on the spot.[8]
