That 1 Guy at Club Cafe; Ice Skating at Schenley Park (Mon., 2/18/19)

1) That 1 Guy is just that—one guy. His real name is Mike Silverman, and his homemade instruments, such as The Magic Pipe, redefine the concept of the one-man band. Sprinkle in some esoteric lyrics and a churning baritone, and you’ve got one guy who could give Beck a run for his money in originality and sheer weirdness. Although based in Las Vegas, he tours relentlessly; he is a fixture on the international festival circuit (Electric Forest, Big Day Out, and the Montreal Jazz Festival to name a few). 2014’s Poseidon’s Deep Water Adventure Friends is his latest album, the first of a four-part “magicland” series according to Bandcamp, which also describes the LP as a “dense deep water journey of discovery.” His collaborations with guitarist Buckethead as the Frankenstein Brothers have certified That 1 Guy as one of the most freakish men in music today. Freakishly awesome, that is. 8 p.m. Club Cafe, 56-58 S. 12th St., South Side. (CM)
