The smooth jazz saxophonist hits the road, armed with panache and a tilted fedora
The music of King Crimson is celebrated by a group of musicians that are less "tribute band" more "supergroup"! Legendary guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danney Carey join former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin to tour a show performing the best bits from the legendary prog-rockers' three 1980s entries, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair... plus potentially a few surprises!
The term 'Progressive Bluegrass' may not apply to many bands, but the wonderfully named The String Cheese Incident is certainly one of them. The wildly inventive and slightly crazy jam band, bring in influences from every genre under the sun and creates a sound unlike any other. Now heading on a new tour, don't miss your chance to catch them live!
In 2009, Billboard Magazine named Boney James the Jazz Musician of the Decade and the tremendously talented saxophonist certainly lives up to that moniker. While seen as a forerunner of the smooth jazz movement, Boney's style of playing combines pop and RnB and his style is often seen as grittier and more textured than the easy-listening genre.
