BIG SUIT is a collective of nine musicians drawn to the cerebral adventures, infectious rhythms, and pioneering music known to the world as Talking Heads. With enormous respect and admiration for David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Franz, and Jerry Harrison, BIG SUIT has put together what has ultimately become the most nationally sought after Salute to Talking Heads!

Inspired by the seminal Jonathan Demme/Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense, BIG SUIT is additionally dedicated to all ancillary forms of the Heads, including Chris Franz & Tina Weymouth’s hugely successful TOM TOM CLUB, the David Byrne & St. Vincent (Annie Clark) collaboration, as well as connections to Peter Gabriel, Afro Celt Sound System, and WOMAD (Gabriel’s World of Music, Arts, and Dance) institution.

Big Suit frontman Jason Krause brings an astonishing take on David Byrne. From the eye-catching and flamboyant routines of dancers/singers Kasey Foster & Kiley Moore to the incredible percussion and African-channeled rhythm section of Alan Maniacek, Janis Wallin, and Megan Thomas, this Tribute to Talking Heads is the real deal.

Rounding out the group are Paul Mutzabaugh & Cash Michaels on keyboards and EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) respectively, with all of the ‘SUITS’ under the direction of Steven Kikoen, guitarist for BIG SUIT and founder, guitarist, singer, and musical director of Deacon Blues, Abbey Road, Prognosis, and Time Zone. BIG SUIT is a tour de force funk-rock ensemble of stellar musicians offering up a
truly inspirational, “Once In A Lifetime” connection to David Byrne and company. If you have come to experience Talking Heads . . . This Must Be The Place!
