BIG SUIT is a Chicago-based collective of nine musicians drawn to the cerebral adventures, infectious rhythms, and pioneering music known to the world as Talking Heads. BIG SUIT began when a Chicago-area producer reached out to Deacon Blues founder Steve Kikoen with a request to form a Tribute to Talking Heads.
With enormous respect and admiration for David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Franz, and Jerry Harrison, the idea of forming a tribute to these musical innovators was intriguing. Steve proceeded to put together what has ultimately become an amazing replication of Talking Heads,
BIG SUIT is dedicated to re-creating the film Stop Making Sense within a live stage format. From the eye-catching and flamboyant routines of the dancer/singers to the incredible percussion and afro-celt drumming, this funk–rock ensemble of stellar musicians offers up a truly inspirational, “Once In A Lifetime” connection. Frontman Jason Krause brings an astonishing take on David Byrne.
