Babeville will host beat-charged, experimental extravaganza, one-man-band <!– 2010-Mar-7: Castaways (Ithaca)-excellent performance with an unclassifiable sound that's related to jam bands, hip-hop, rock, synth-pop, and novelty acts, also 2003-Apr-17 Bug Jar-He plays a "magic pipe" which is a custom-built instrument made of drain pipe. It's got a high-note string on one side and a bass string on another. It also has mini drum pads hooked into his sequencer for various effects. His music is a beat-charged experimental extravaganza. I decided that there must be dozens of reasons to see a show:

• like to see Dr. Seuss creations brought to life (according to him, "apocalyptic Seuss.")
• love duct tape
• want to see how to do the one-man-band thing right
• you've got a thing for the user interfaces on Kai's Power Tools and want to see it built in real-life
• love of the Rube Goldberg machine
• like the look of plumbing in a demolished building
• like to say, "I saw That 1 Guy and his magic pipe."

With an extensive and amazing track record of unique and imaginative performances featuring his curious instrument and copious amounts of originality, Mike Silverman, a/k/a That1Guy, has set himself apart as a true one-of-a-kind talent that rivals any other artist currently in the entertainment industry. Averaging 150-200 shows a year all over North America and Canada, he has been a consistent favorite at such festivals as: Wakarusa, Electric Forest, Big Day out, All Good Music Festival, Bella, High Sierra Music Festival, Summer Meltdown, Montreal Jazz Festival, and many more. He was also the 'tap Water Award' winner at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for best musical act. His legendary collaboration and multiple tours with Buckethead performing as The Frankenstein Brothers has further cemented his virtuoso story as a creative visionary.
