Start Making Sense
The music of Talking Heads has excited, inspired, and healed folks worldwide since their first show at CBGB’s in 1975. If David Byrne is one of the geniuses of modern times, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to genius. Start Making Sense celebrates the entire Talking Heads’ catalog with a seven-piece band meticulously executing the sounds and iconic live visual elements in every performance. Together these skilled and dedicated musicians enjoy bringing the unique, infectious energy of a Talking Heads live show that you know and love to the stage.
In addition to an amazing tribute show they have created specialty shows including tours with horns for which they scored the Heads’ catalog themselves, international group trips with fans, and other special nights that have kept audiences energized and returning year after year.
