||| FROM BETHANY MARIE for ORCAS CENTER |||
Orcas Center is thrilled to welcome Stick Men on Saturday, February 4 on the Center Stage. Stick Men is a progressive rock band created by musicians Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto, (the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for more than two decades), and Markus Reuter – a renowned composer and guitarist who designed and plays his own unique touch style guitar. Tony Levin plays the Chapman Stick, from which the band takes its name. A member of the guitar family, the Chapman Stick functions at times like two instruments with the ability to play bass lines, melody lines, chords, or textures simultaneously.
Markus Reuter plays his 8-string touch guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Mastelott’s drumming encompasses not just the acoustic kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion, and more. The result: audiences are fascinated by watching just three musicians onstage perform their unique compositions as well as wild improvisations and cover songs.
