David Byrne

In a 2001 interview with Time Out New York, David Byrne said that his decision to break up the Talking Heads came out of a desire to “change creatively so I could keep people off balance.” In the ensuing decades, he’s remained true to his word, founding an eclectic record label, writing a book about his relationship to music and collaborating with musicians like Brian Eno and St. Vincent. After 2018’s American Utopia, his first solo record in more than a decade, a Broadway show and HBO special ensued. Now, the inimitable creative is touring behind Who Is the Sky?, his adventurous new album with New York–based Ghost Train Orchestra. Catch him one of two consecutive nights at the Dolby Theatre.
