Pat Metheny Side Eye
Event WebsiteAbout
Far more than a guitar legend, 20-time GRAMMY-winner Pat Metheny is a brilliant builder of bands, and with these performances, he presents the Bay Area debut of his new trio project Side-Eye, featuring keyboardist James Francies and drummer Joe Dyson.
As a teenage prodigy coming up on the Kansas City and Boston scenes, Metheny made tremendous creative strides by keeping company with older musicians, learning the particular demands of playing their music. He created the payback project Side-Eye as a vehicle to offer younger players a similar kind of experience, reinterpreting some of his classic compositions while also exploring recently composed tunes inspired by his Side-Eye collaborators.
