saxophonist Donny McCaslin (Bowie's 'Blackstar') preps solo LP, touring

Saxophonist Donny McCaslin, who you may know from his contributions to David Bowie’s Blackstar, is prepping a solo album that’s due out later this year. While details on the album are still scarce, Donny has shared rocking, danceable new single “What About the Body.” For it, McCaslin recruited Blackstar bassist Tim Lefebvre and and songwriter and lyricist Ryan Dahle (Limblifter, Mounties). You can stream it below.

Donny will be on tour in September, including two NYC shows at Rough Trade on September 13 & 14. Tickets for those shows go on sale Friday, June 22 at noon with presales beginning Tuesday (6/20) at noon. All Tour dates are listed below
