The Eclectic Musical Style of David Byrne
Expect a tight performance from music pioneer, David Byrne and crew, at his upcoming show at the Warner Theatre in Washington, DC.
With all of the performers dressed 
alike in cream-colored outfits, Byrne will be backed by 4 musicians, a couple singers and several dancers.
As a founding member and principal songwriter of the new wave band, Talking Heads, David Byrne has been recognized with Grammy, Oscar and Golden Globe awards.
Since departing form the talking Heads, Byrne has scored a ballet for with choreographer Twyla Tharp, delved deeply in to Latin rhythms and has written or played various musical styles from opera to Americana.
The current 40 city tour concludes in Washington, DC and is promoting his latest release, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.
It is his second CD made in collaboration with former keyboarder of the Glam band, Roxy Music, Brian Eno. The album is a mix of electronic and Gospel music.
The show should be unique, a bit experimental and definitely push the “standards” of music, but then, that’s what makes David Byrne such an interesting musical icon.
