This tribute show celebrates the music of Talking Heads, the iconic American rock band that pioneered new wave with a blend of punk, art rock, funk, and world music. Formed in New York City in 1975, the band—David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison—rose from the CBGB punk scene to become one of the most acclaimed groups of the 1980s.
Attendees can expect a live performance of Talking Heads classics, including hits like "Burning Down the House" and "Psycho Killer," as well as deep cuts from albums such as *Remain in Light* and *Speaking in Tongues*. The tribute act captures the energy and art-school sensibility that made the original band a cultural phenomenon.
The show brings to life the spirit of a band that influenced generations, from their early days at CBGB to their legendary concert film *Stop Making Sense*.
