An Evening with That1Guy

With an extensive and amazing track record of unique and imaginative performances featuringhis curious instrument and copious amounts of originality, Mike Silverman aka That1Guy has set himself apart as a true one-of-a-kind talent that rivals any other artist currently in the entertainment industry. Averaging 150-200 shows a year all over North America and Canada, he has been a consistent favorite at such festivals as: Wakarusa, Electric Forest, Big Day out, All Good, Bella, High Sierra, Summer Meltdown, Montreal Jazz Festival, and many more. He was also the ʻTap Water Awardʼ winner at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for best musical act. His legendary collaboration and multiple tours with Buckethead as The Frankenstein Brothers has further cemented his virtuoso story as a creative visionary as well.

As his story continues to develop, Billboard has famously noted, "In the case of Mike Silvermanʼ s slamming, futuristic funk act... the normal rules of biology just donʼ t apply." In addition, Silverman also has promised new music and videos for the early part of 2013 that will only further validate his status as an industry trailblazer. "I like being my own person", he says. "I didnʼt set out to be a weirdo but Iʼm starting to embrace it".Ultimately, his motivation can be encapsulated as this: "Human beings do our best work when weʼre challenged and pushed up against the wall". He further explains, "By nature, weʼre hunters and gathers, spending each day looking for their next meal. Itʼs easy to be lazy when you donʼt have to come up with something creative right away."
