OMAHA DINER is many things: the world’s definitive virtuoso of the seven-string guitar, the pioneer of saxo- phonics, a Guggenheim Fellow in music, and a Grammy nominee.

In its 125 years of experience the DINER has worked in some capacity with an unlikely and astonishing array of artists: Aretha Franklin, Sting, , Levon Helm, John Adams, Roswell Rudd, Linda Ronstadt, , Elton John, My Morning Jacket, Courtney Love, The San Francisco Ballet, Sam Rivers, Marianne Faithfull, The Moscow Circus, Roger Waters, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Michael Tilson-Thomas, R.E.M., Johnny Copeland, Bon- nie Raitt, Lukas Foss, The Meters, Ween, D’Angelo, , Alvin Ailey, Digable Planets, Sonny Sharrock, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Tom Waits.

OMAHA DINER has toured every continent with the (possible) exception of Antarctica, playing rock arenas, iconic clubs, Carnegie Hall, and hardscrabble Kentucky roadhouses. The DINER turns up in other places as well - author of the liner notes to Miles Davis’ ‘In Concert’ record, actor on Saturday Night Live, dancer, sous-chef, teacher.

Now comes the latest invention, OMAHA DINER - four storied musicians attempting to re-define a format that forever perverted the way we experience music. You may love Top 40 (doubtful), you may hate it (probable), you may not care about it at all (liar), but you cannot escape it.

***OMAHA DINER’s Ironclad Guarantee: all songs have touched, however briefly, #1 on the Top 40 pop chart. TOP 40 AS YOU’VE NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE!
