If David Byrne is one of the geniuses of modern times, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to genius. The musicians in this 7-10 piece Talking Heads Tribute take pride in faithfully recreating the music of Talking Heads entire career.   Together they bring much of the Heads unique live show to the stage, with front man Jon Braun as a spot-on David Byrne,  giving you a "once in a lifetime" experience.  Prepare yourself for a rockin', funkin', danceable celebration of the new-wave art punk you loved from the 80's !!!
