[ROCK] If you missed out on grabbing tickets to see over-the-top guitarist Buckethead at Buffalo Iron Works for his sold-out show scheduled for Monday, April 2, then here’s a chance to redeem yourself. Buckethead has added a second show, the next day, Tuesday, April 3. The mysterious, masked and bucketed guitarist is as prolific he is virtuosic. Since 2011 alone the 48-year-old guitarist, real name Brian Carroll, has released 274 albums. Let that sink in. 274. Albums. Of music. The majority of the albums fall into the artist’s solo Pike series, which he began releasing in mass as he went on hiatus from touring in 2012. Rumors even spread that the infamously private artist had passed away and that his personal archive was simply emerging. Luckily for fans, Buckethead is not dead. In 2016, the eccentric artist—who has collaborated with everyone from Les Claypool to Iggy Pop and whose origin story alleges he was rasied by chickens—made his return to touring to the excitement of his many fans. He’ll make his long awaited return to Buffalo for the pair of shows at Buffalo Iron Works this week. A word to the wise: Grab tickets now before they sell out again.
