About
In 2023, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe celebrate their 25th anniversary as a band.
KDTU has electrified audiences around the world from the fields of Naeba in Japan at the infamous Fuji Rock Festival to the hallowed stage of Madison Square Garden where they previously joined the Dave Matthews Band and The Godfather of Soul, James Brown. From performing as Sexual Chocolate (Karl was in the original band in the movie Coming To America and its sequel) at the Outside Lands Music festival in San Francisco, to being the first late night act at the inaugural Bonnaroo festival, KDTU have been a dominating force in music for the past 25 years.
All-night, sold-out concerts during Jazzfest in New Orleans have featured sit ins by everyone from Lenny Kravitz & Steve Winwood (with whom Karl has recorded and toured) to avant garde luminaries Marc Ribot & Boyfriend. Chuck Leavell and Bernard Fowler (Karl's bandmates in The Rolling Stones where Karl replaced the great Bobby Keys as saxophonist in 2014) have joined onstage and on record, as have Lukas Nelson, John Oates, Michael Franti, Warren Haynes, Ivan Neville, Anders Osborne, Big Daddy Kane, Roy Hargrove, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Joshua Redman, Marcus King, and Bernie Worrell, among others.
Touring the country with the Allman Brothers, My Morning Jacket, D'Angelo, The Roots, Public Enemy, Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead, Parliament Funkadelic, Slightly Stoopid, Widespread Panic, very few concert goers have been untouched by the Tiny Universe live. In addition to KDTU, Karl Denson aka "Diesel" is a founding member of the seminal groove act The Greyboy Allstars.

by kel400 on 12/18/12The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver Springthis started a little slow as the band didn't go on until after 9 and they played a few of their own songs before starting the tribute. after that it pretty much rocked. they played all the old favorites and threw in a few of the obscure instrumentals. definitely glad to have caught this show. i went primarily to catch stoopid who rocked it as usual.

by matty3000 on 2/12/12Royale Boston - BostonFantastic music. Even better than expected! Venue was OK. Problems with sound, and poor variety in beverage selection. Especially they need to have a better beer selection.

Rating: 4 out of 5by JJessie on 2/9/12Royale Boston - Boston This band is so talented.... so why are they stooping to cover-band status. Want to hear more of the real thing! original Karl tunes, got a few early in the set, they are so much better than the Stones.
