The Stick Men at Mystic Theatre
2025-12-08 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Mystic Theatre & Music Hall, 23 Petaluma Blvd N, Petaluma, CA
Stick Men is a powerhouse progressive rock trio featuring legendary musicians Tony
Levin, Pat Mastelotto, and Markus Reuter. With a combined experience of over 100 million
records sold worldwide, this supergroup brings unparalleled musicianship and innovation to
every performance.
Tony Levin, renowned for his work with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson, is one of the most
recorded bass players in music history. His mastery of the Chapman Stick, from which the band
takes its name, allows him to cover both bass and guitar parts simultaneously.
Pat Mastelotto, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades, bring that tradition to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Stick, from which the band takes its name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Stick functions at times like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his self-designed touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Mastelotto’s drumming encompasses not just the acoustic kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion, and more. Members of STICK MEN have recorded on albums that sold over 100 million records worldwide and all 4 individual members have played collectively in many different projects in the past 5 decades in over 90 countries worldwide.
PAT MASTELOTTO – Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, and so too has Pat Mastelotto, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming. Pat has spent a lifetime jumping genres from pop, to prog, to electronica to world music with – among others – Mr. Mister, XTC, David Sylvian, The Rembrandts, Kimmo Pohjonen, and for the last 25 years with King Crimson.
MARKUS REUTER – Markus is a composer, guitarist, and producer. Initially trained as a pianist, he subsequently studied Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft and learned to play the Chapman Stick, later moving on to the U8 Touch Guitar. Reuter has released several solo recordings and worked extensively with other musicians. He is one of the core members of the experi-mental band Centrozoon, is half of the duo Tuner (with Pat Mastelotto) and was also a member of Europa String Choir. Reuter has collaborated with Ian Boddy, Robert Rich, No-Man singer Tim Bowness, and many others, and he has joined the new Devin Townsend ’s band. His new power trio TRUCE is recording the second album and will be touring worldwide.
Stick Men continues to evolve and push the boundaries of progressive rock. Their unique
instrumentation and combined centuries of experience make for an unforgettable live
experience that will captivate audiences and leave them in awe of the trio’s musical mastery.

Jason Boland & The Stragglers at the Mystic
2025-11-08 19:00
Born and raised in Oklahoma, Boland grew up listening to a mix of country and rock and roll before eventually finding himself at the epicenter of the Red Dirt scene in Stillwater, where he put together the Stragglers while attending OSU. Beginning with 1999’s Pearl Snaps, the hard-touring band would release a series of critically acclaimed independent albums that would rack up more than half a million sales, lead to collaborations with the likes of Shooter Jennings and Robert Earl Keen, and land performances everywhere from The Ryman Auditorium to the Grand Ole Opry. The New York Times called Boland “one of the country scene’s most multidimensional songwriters,” while American Songwriter praised him as “a troubadour for the ages,” and Rolling Stone hailed him as a “steady, reliable source of smart, gritty songwriting.”

ALO at the Mystic Theatre
2025-11-01 20:00
Mystic Halloween Haunt! ALO with BIG LIGHT — Saturday, Nov 1
What is ALO, A.KA. Animal Liberation Orchestra?
ALO is a lot of things. Put simply, it’s a rock band, a family, an artistic outlet, a community, a business. But that only scratches the surface of this 3O-year musical vision-quest. ALO is an adventure, it’s a Spring break road trip to Colorado, it’s an all-night drive from Salt Lake City to San Jose. It’s the comfort of hanging out with life-long friends, of relaxing on a couch and finding treasures hidden in its cushions. It’s a coffee table full of amazing books on art, philosophy and music. It feels old and new, fresh and classic. It holds tension and dreams and possibility in its folds. It hopes to unveil something magical, something unheard of, something the world needs. It smells of super burritos and vans full of lemons, old bongs and epic hikes. It’s a sound of growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s a sound of northern California, with sprinkles of Santa Barbara and Augusta, Georgia. It was born of childhood friendships, of shared destinies, of inside jokes and of a desire to make people happy. It’s not for everyone, although it tries to be. It wants you to love and share in its vision. It’s long and meandering, then suddenly sharp, abrupt! It’s feral and clever, and it means you no harm. It’s love and freedom, collected and catalogued, then released back into the wilds from whence it came, over and over again. It’s an orchestrated liberation of our animal soul.

The New Mastersounds - Ta-Ta For Now Tour
2025-10-25 20:30
THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS
with THE WESTONES
Simon Allen DRUMS | Pete Shand BASS | Eddie Roberts GUITAR | Joe Tatton ORGAN & PIANO
The New Mastersounds have been delighting audiences with their infectious brand of funky soul-jazz since they formed in Leeds, England in 1999. For the first five years of the band’s career they were regulars at the Jazz Café in London, before they began to turn heads on the funk scene in the US, where
guitarist/producer/bandleader Eddie Roberts now lives. For over a decade they have been a staple act of the late-night scene during New Orleans’ annual Jazz Fest. Always happy to hit the studio between tours, this veteran band now boasts a rich recorded catalogue that includes fifteen original studio albums, four live albums, several compilations, and a remix album.
Though they have collaborated over the years with such musical luminaries as Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Corinne Bailey Rae, Art Neville, Bernard Purdie and Lou Donaldson, they are at their best on stage as a tightly-packed quartet – bass, drums, guitar and keyboards – firing off scorching grooves and feeding on the energy of the dancers in the front row.
