[NEW WAVE] Former Talking Heads frontman, author, and musician David Byrne kicks off his American Utopia tour on March 3, and three days later brings it to UB’s Center for the Arts on Tuesday, March 6. It’s unclear exactly what shape and form Byrne’s show will take, but what we do know is that he’ll be joined on stage by 12 musicians for a choreographed show, which will feature songs from his new album, American Utopia, and “many others that will, I assume, be familiar,” according to Byrne. “This is the most ambitious show I’ve done since the shows that were filmed for ‘Stop Making Sense,’ so fingers crossed,” the 65-year-old Scottish musician said in a recent interview. After recent collaborations were announced with experimental musicians Brian Eno and Oneohtrix Point Never, it would be safe to expect something pretty far out from this extensive tour.
