He was on the internet before the internet was mainstream. Tony’s website, tonylevin.com, has one of the longest running musician blogs on the web.

Tony Levin and Stick Men will play tonight along with The Adrian Belew Power Trio tonight at The Triple Door.

I will be covering the show and will have some great photos from Jerry & Lois Levin to share with you, as well as some back stage video and audio interviews.

About the bands…

The Adrian Belew Power Trio features the amazing bass work of Julie Slick and drummer Tobias Ralph. Together with Belew’s sintilating guitar playing and powerful vocal stylings, should prove to be a very powerful musical force.

Stick Men features Tony Levin’s unique and innovative playing on the Chapman Stick. Levin along with the progressive drumming of Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter’s self-designed touch style guitar will weave an incredible sonic tapestry.

After each of their respective sets both groups will join forces for a fusion/prog rock explosion.
