Jerry Harrison & Adrian Belew Bringing Talking Heads ‘Remain In Light’ Tribute On The Road In 2023

Talking Heads co-founder Jerry Harrison and one-time touring guitarist Adrian Belew will honor the group’s iconic Remain In Light album over the course of a winter tour. The run features 19 tour dates next February and March.

Harrison and Belew will be joined by a band that includes former members of Turkuaz Craig Brodhead on guitar and synths, Michelangelo Carubba on drums, Greg Sanderson on saxophone, Joshua Schwartz on saxophone, Chris Brouwers on trumpet, Sammi Garett on vocals and Shira Elias on vocals as well as bassist Julie Slick and percussionist Yahuba Garcia-Torres. “Remain In Light is a high point in my career,” explained Harrison. “Adrian and I had often discussed the magic of the 1980 tour and the sheer joy it brought to audiences. It is such a delight to see that joy once again in the audiences on the current tour.”

“A joyful show of Talking Heads songs you know and love performed by a hot, eleven-piece ensemble including Jerry and me,” Belew added. “You can’t help but dance and go home with a happy smile on your face.”
