Buckethead

From the venue:

Buckethead would be a remarkable artist even without the ubiquitous fried chicken tub and mask. He’d be worth noticing for his stunning output — over 300 studio albums and counting — and his stunning versatility. For a guy who values his anonymity, he has collaborated quite a bit, working with Guns N’ Roses, Bootsy Collins, Les Claypool, and many others. But at the end of the day it’s his guitar wizardry that makes him special. Sometimes he shreds; other times he creates scintillating ambient works of subtlety and grace. With such a massive catalog, it’s hard to know where to start; a live show is your best bet. — Bill Kopp
