Phoenix Tickets Finder

The godfather of goofy hair himself is coming to Phoenix. Kenny G is coming to play at the Dodge Theater. Here is some info from his wiki:

Kenneth Gorelick (born June 5, 1956), better known by his stage name Kenny G, is an American saxophonist whose fourth album, Duotones, brought him “breakthrough success” in 1986. Kenny’s main instrument is the soprano saxophone, but he also plays the alto and tenor saxophone and the flute on occasion

Kenny was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and first came into contact with a saxophone when he heard someone performing with one on The Ed Sullivan Show. He learned how to play under the direction of local trumpeter Gerald Pfister and by practicing along with records (mostly of Grover Washington, Jr.), trying to emulate the sounds that he was hearing. His early studies with Pfister resulted in his ability to play the saxophone horizontally, without compromising his control of the pitch. This would later be regarded as a revolution in modern saxophone technique.[citation needed] At Franklin High School he failed to get into the jazz band when he applied, although was accepted the following year when he tried again.He also played for his high school golf team, a sport which he had loved ever since his older brother, Brian Gorelick, introduced it to him when he was ten years old.. Brian Gorelick is currently a music professor and choir conductor at Wake Forest University.

Hey everyone, Katt Williams is coming to Phoenix soon. He is performing at the Dodge Theater and you need to go. Here is some info from his wiki:

Born in Cincinnati and raised in Dayton, Ohio, Williams was the product of a socially and politically charged household. His parents’ influence and teachings caused him to briefly join the Nation of Islam while living in the San Francisco Bay Area. An avid book lover, Katt’s parents banned him from reading as a form of punishment when he got into trouble. When he was 12, he won a number of awards for science projects, which landed him a full scholarship to The National Science Academy in Dayton, which he intentionally sabotaged. “I was young. You know when you are young, you just do what you do. I can use my I.Q. now. I had a high I.Q as an 8 years old. So you know what was I gonna do with it. I was just trying to be impressive and not mess up.”

As a means to get into a nightclub where he was underage one fateful evening, Katt noticed that they weren’t checking ID’s in the line for comics and proceeded to enter the club through that entrance. “I was so nervous but everyone laughed and thought I was funny. After that, I was opened up to the wonderful world of comedy … [I]mprov is where a comic really gets to shine, if he is good. That’s as close as a comedian can get to the playoffs. I went through those years where I wanted to be the funny comic, now I’m trying to be the greatest comic of my time.”

In 1999 Katt became a presence at The Improv, The Comedy Club, The Icehouse and even had his own room at The Hollywood Park Casino where he had a large, loyal following. He appeared on the BET network’s shows, such as Comic View, Rip the Runway, Black Carpet, 106th & Park, The BET Awards and BET Comedy Awards. Throughout his success he has been massively embraced by the Hip Hop community, receiving praise from Master P (“Hands down Katt Williams is the next Richard Pryor”) and Snoop Dogg (“Katt is doing his comedy thing so flamboyantly and so fly with spirit of the late great Red Foxx and the spirit of Richard Pryor”) Last month Katt hosted the 1st Annual BET ‘Hip Hop’ Award Show from The Civic Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
