[POSTPONED: April 1, 2020] Stick Men [rescheduled from August 5, 2020; moved to April 28, 2022]
Sellersville Theater has been experimenting with limited seating at some shows. But they decided to postpone this one. I’m assuming if it’s a “real” band as opposed to a cover band, they’d want as much capacity as possible. Regardless of when this gets scheduled, I can’t wait to see these guys up close.
Back in June, as larger shows were getting postponed into August and September, I held out hope that August might allow for some smaller shows like this one.
I had never heard of Stick Men until after a King Crimson show when I heard some fans talking about how amazing Stick Men are.
The band is a trio of Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter. Levin and Mastelotto play in Crimson (stick and drums respectively) and Markus Reuter plays his eight string touch guitar covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. Mastelotto’s drumming encompasses not just the acoustic kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion, and more.
To be able to see these musicians up close (without all the distractions of the amazement of a King Crimson concert) would be so cool. Stick Men play once in awhile, although the last few times they’ve been around I couldn’t make it.
Rescheduled to April is a good thing, although I wish they were somewhere closer than Sellersville.
