Stick Men
On Friday July 25th, the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Stick Men back to the WOW Hall.
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, renowned for his work with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, is one of the most
recorded bass players in music history. His mastery of the Chapman Stick, from which the band
takes its name, allows him to cover both bass and guitar parts simultaneously.
Pat Mastelotto, drummer extraordinaire, is known for his tenure with King Crimson and chart-
topping success with Mr. Mister. His unique setup combines acoustic drums with electronic
elements, creating a rich tapestry of rhythms and textures.
Markus Reuter rounds out the trio with his self-designed touch-style guitar, pushing the
boundaries of what’s possible on a stringed instrument. His innovative approach complements
the group’s progressive sound.
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.
Book Stick Men for an evening of unparalleled musicianship, innovative soundscapes, and a
journey through the cutting edge of progressive rock.
