Karl Denson

Biography

Karl Denson is fresh off The Rolling Stones No Filter tour of Europe where he performed across the continent in his ongoing role as tenor saxophonist with the legendary rock icons. He wastes no time, however, getting back on the road with his own band, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, for a string of tour dates around the U.S., including three shows paying tribute to The Allman Brothers Band at Park West in Chicago on November 17, The Fillmore in San Francisco on November 25 and Wanee Festival in Live Oak, FL on April 19-21 that are being dubbed, “Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe presents Eat A Bunch of Peaches.” Denson will add three special guests to the core Tiny Univers line-up for these performances, including Jay Lane (Primus, Ratdog) on double drums, Kenneth Crouch (Lenny Kravitz, Eric Clapton) on second keys and Mark “Speedy” Gonzales (Brownout) on trombone.

KDTU will round out 2017 with a Colorado run that features two nights at Public House in Crested Butte and a New Year’s Eve performance supporting My Morning Jacket at 1st Bank Center in Denver.

At the outset of 2018, KDTU will head out for a string of West Coast shows that includes a stop at Belly Up in Denson’s hometown of San Diego, two nights at Nectar’s in Seattle and a return to Revolution Hall in Portland.

Highly regarded as one of the best live bands on the planet, KDTU will be showcasing material from their long-awaited forthcoming studio album, as well as previous acclaimed KDTU recordings like ‘New Ammo’ and ‘The Bridge.’ The current KDTU touring lineup is comprised of Richmond guitarist DJ Williams, original drummer of The Greyboy Allstars, Zak Najor, The Greyboy Allstars’ bassist Chris Stillwell, Crush Effects’ keyboardist David Veith, Seattle trumpeter Chris Littlefield and ace slide and lap steel guitarist Seth Freeman.
