If the name Brant Bjork didn’t immediately catch your attention, it damn well should have. He was the drummer and a founding member of stoner rock pioneers Kyuss and played on three of their four albums. Following his departure, he went on to play in a multitude of bands, most notably Fu Manchu, Mondo Generator, Vista Chino, and Stöner. A multi-instrumentalist and prolific songwriter, Bjork has released 16 solo studio albums since 1999, in addition to his work with other bands. The Brant Bjork Trio also consists of Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man) on bass and Ryan Güt (Stöner) on drums. The addition of stoner doom bands Faerie Ring (Evansville, In), and Crop (Lexington) to the bill make this as solid of a show as you’ll ever see!
