David Byrne is well known as the musician who co-founded the group Talking Heads (1976’88) in New York. On record and in concert, the band was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike; more importantly, however, they have proven to be extremely influential. Talking Heads took popular music in new directions, both in terms of sound and lyrics, and also introduced an innovative visual approach to the genre. In 2002 Talking Heads were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. During a band sabbatical in 1981, Byrne teamed with Brian Eno, the producer of much of the Heads' work, for the collaborative effort My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, a complex, evocative album which fused electronic music with Third World percussion and hypnotic vocal effects. Over the last decades, hundreds of artists in genres ranging from DJs to alternative to electronic have all borrowed from My Life in the Bush of Ghosts‘ ideas and claimed its influence. PLEASE NOTE: There is no opening act for this performance. The show will begin promptly at 8 pm.
