Karl Denson, who is currently in the midst of an east coast tour with his Tiny Universe, has confirmed that he will perform a number of Bay Area shows in the late December. As previously announced, Karl will return to the stage with the Greyboy Allstars for a New Year’s Eve gig that will take place at the Warfield Theater. This reunion will feature GBA’s classic line-up of Robert Walter, Elgin Park, Chris Stillwell and Zak Najor which also performed a few shows this past August. The Bad Plus and DJ Logic will open this show which will begin at 8PM and is slated to continue until 4AM.

Meanwhile, in news that likely did not escapee the attention of those folks who subscribe to the many band listserves that also seem to receive the KD newsletter, Karl will perform two area shows leading up to the NYE gig. The Tiny Universe has announced that it will perform at San Francisco’s Fillmore on December 26 and 27.
