Adrian and Jerry, with their all-star backing band, bring you powerhouse renditions of Talking Heads classics like “Once In A Lifetime”, “Psycho Killer”, “Take Me To The River”, and selections from their respective solo careers.

“’Remain In Light’ is a high point in my career, Adrian and I had often discussed the magic of the 1980 tour and the sheer joy it brought to audiences. It is such a delight to see and bring that joy once again to crowds on this upcoming tour.” - Jerry Harrison

“A joyful show of Talking Heads songs you know and love performed by a hot, eleven-piece ensemble, including Jerry and me, You can’t help but dance and go home with a happy smile on your face.” - Adrian Belew
Fan reviews:

The closest you’re gonna come to seeing Talking Heads. Adrian blue was outstanding. Jerry Harrison was amazing. And the back up band called Cool Cool Cool did a really good job Definitely a good concert to go to.

Adrian Belew is remarkable!! Jerry Harrison equally so. Cool Cool Cool, so cool! Great night!

Still giddy after this immaculate experience. The VIP meet and greet proved that two of my musical heroes are also very generous spirits! And then to be followed up by a “Once in a Lifetime” show, truly a dream come true!

My favorite Talking Heads albums are Fear of Music and Remain In Light, and those made up the bulk of the set, with a few surprises thrown in. Everyone and everything sounded great, and Belew is always a joy to watch, he seems to be having so much fun. The backing band, Cool Cool Cool, did a great job. Anyone who loves this era of Talking Heads really needs to experience this!

The performers were excellent, Adriene Belew in particular was outstanding, and it was great to dance to old favorites.
