  • STICK MEN - Tony Levin and Pat MasteloO, the Powerhouse Bass and Drums of the Group King Crimson for a Few Decades, Bring That TradiOn to All Their Playing
    STICK MEN - Tony Levin and Pat Masteloo, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades, bring that tradion to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Sck, from which the band takes it’s name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Sck funcons at mes like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his selfdesigned touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Masteloo’s drumming encompasses not just the acousc kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion and more. TONY LEVIN - Born in Boston, Tony Levin started out in classical music, playing bass in the Rochester Philharmonic. Then moving into jazz and rock, he has had a notable career, recording and touring with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Yes, Alice Cooper, Gary Burton, Buddy Rich and many more. He has also released 5 solo CDs and three books. In addion to touring with Sck Men, since more than 30 years is currently a member of King Crimson and Peter Gabriel Band, and jazz bands Levin Brothers and L’Image. His popular website, tonylevin.com, featured one of the web’s first blogs, and has over 4 million visits. 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, so too has Pat Masteloo, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming.

It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics.

He played wiffle ball in the backyard and Little League, was an All-Star for his T-ball team and pitched varsity for the Lahser High Knights in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He became a lifelong fan of the Detroit Tigers. Nearly half a century later, when he talks about the team, you can still hear the boy in his voice. As an adult he headed up several of advertising’s largest agencies but after overseeing three of the industry’s most defining mergers, he decided to change careers and on a whim bought a baseball team. Craig was able to move the team, an affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, from Columbia to Greenville because he was the only owner among Craig Brown, Cliffs Member and those competing for the coveted location willing to build a stadium Greenville Drive President/Owner at his own expense on land supplied by the city in the heart of Greenville’s vibrant downtown. THE GREENVILLE DRIVE WAS BORN. 30 FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME BUILD IT AT HOME AT THE CLIFFS Craig and his wife of 40 years, Vicki, split their time between Greenville and a golf cottage they have at Keowee Falls.
