POWERHOUSE PROG ROCK COMES TO THE LOFT….SUPERGROUP STICK MEN !!
LEGENDARY KING CRIMSON PLAYERS!
Stick Men is a powerhouse progressive rock trio featuring legendary musicians Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter. With a combined experience of over 100 million records sold worldwide, this supergroup brings unparalleled musicianship and innovation to every performance.
Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades, bring that tradition to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Stick, from which the band takes its name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Stick functions at times like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his self-designed touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Mastelotto’s drumming encompasses not just the acoustic kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion, and more. Members of STICK MEN have recorded on albums that sold over 100 million records worldwide and all 4 individual members have played collectively in many different projects in the past 5 decades in over 90 countries worldwide.
Stick Men's music defies easy categorization, blending elements of Art Rock, Progressive Rock, and at times Progressive Meta. Their live shows are a testament to their improvisational prowess, featuring extended jams that showcase each member's virtuosity. The band also pays homage to their King Crimson roots by performing select pieces from that legendary group's catalog.
Stick Men continues to evolve and push the boundaries of progressive rock. Their unique instrumentation and combined centuries of experience make for an unforgettable live experience that will captivate audiences and leave them in awe of the trio's musical mastery.
