Yesterday on Instagram, Umphrey’s McGee’s Joel Cummins explained the phenomenon of the misplaced Brendan Bayliss guitar, with his bandmate having a knack for leaving his ax lying around. 

“Over the years I’ve tried to document the many questionable places Brendan has left his guitar,” Cummins said on Instagram along with a photo of the recognizable guitar sitting in the driver’s seat of their bus while parked at Moontower Music Festival last month. “This one…was actually pretty smart,” Cummins obliged. 

Over the years I’ve tried to document the many questionable places @umphreysmcgee’s @brendanbayliss has left his guitar. I thought this one in the driver’s seat of our @pioneer_coach @moontowermusicfestival was actually pretty smart. #umphreys #livemusic #tour #travel #smrt #moontower #lexingtonky

As discussion raged on about the many places Brendan’s guitar has been found, a Twitter account was made in its name to keep all of those memories in one place. So give Brendan’s Guitar a follow and discover all of the wonderful places it has been left unattended, like on this table next to Jake Cinninger’s guitar.
