If David Byrne is one of the geniuses of modern times, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to genius. The musicians in this 7-piece Talking Heads Tribute take pride in faithfully recreating the music of Talking Heads entire career, including songs Talking Heads never performed live! Together they bring much of the Heads unique live show to the stage, with front man Jon Braun as a spot-on David Byrne, some have said this is the closest thing you’ll get to seeing Talking Heads again.

Winderman, Colman & Kimock is the latest sonic adventure from jam-scene stalwarts keyboardist Eli Winderman (Dopapod/Octave Cat), bassist Jonathan Colman (Muscle Tough/Dungeon Crawl), and drummer John Morgan Kimock (Crosby Collective/Oteil & Friends/Mike Gordon). Together, they blend patient grooves, lush textures, and improvisational magic into a genre-fluid musical journey. Adding a unique twist, they reinterpret the music of the Grateful Dead, Aphex Twin, and Phish, delivering a blend of jam-band nostalgia, electronic intrigue, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you love fusion, psychedelia, or adventurous covers, this trio is here to keep you guessing and grooving.
