Mike Keneally tours in May

Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Satriani, Chickenfoot, Dethklok, etc) will tour parts of the US midwest and northeast in May. Keneally is well known as the leading progressive mind of the post-Zappa era and is equally adept at guitar, vocals, and keyboards often performing all three at the same time! Joining Mike for this tour are Greg Bendian (Mahavishnu Project, Pat Metheny, Cecil Taylor) on drums and Doug Lunn (Andy Summers, Wayne Kramer, David Torn) on bass. The musicianship is off the charts.

Keneally is amazing. I regret that I haven't followed him in recent years but his stuff up through Dancing and Wooden Smoke is stellar. Thanks for the post! I'm going to have to catch up on what I've missed in the last decade from him.

 

Very psyched about this tour!

 

I really need to expand my Keneally collection. All I have is the original and SuperDeluxe versions of Sluggo. Those CD bundles on his web site are awfully tempting.

 

Been wanting to see Keneally for years....and he's playing Nashville the same night as I have (sold out) tickets to The 1975.

 

Huge Keneally fanboy here. Still have yet to see him live. Well, okay, I went to Lou's Records in Encinitas, CA back in 2000 and caught him doing a little acoustic show/signing event, but I want the full Keneally live experience. He hasn't been to Phoenix in a long, long time, and I missed him the time he was here in 2005.

He really hasn't released a bad album, not even "close to bad." They're all a bit different in the best of ways. It's really why I keep returning to his music - he covers a lot of ground but never sounds like he's on unfamiliar footing. A recent favorite has been Scambot 1 and its bonus disc. So beautifully weird.
