Another magnificent performance from Donny and his top tight band of keyboards, bass and drums, landing in North Shields as an unlikely pitstop on a new European tour with only two British dates. The tour began the previous evening with two sold out sets at the famous Ronnie Scotts before heading off across Europe . Mixing live favourites like Break the Bond with newer stuff from I Want More, he closed with the iconic Lazarus from Blackstar. Shout out to the venue for grabbing an international superstar and putting on a great show. Pity it wasn't sold out but a fab place for a gig, Worth my 200 mile round trip - though nothing compared to the lady from Nancy who had travelled by bus across France...

Donny McCaslin Biography
Donny McCaslin is best known as the saxophonist on David Bowie’s last album, Blackstar. The noted composer and bandleader has released a dozen albums over his genre-defying, Grammy-nominated career.
McCaslin began playing at age 12, and as a teenager, performed in his vibraphonist father's band in Santa Cruz. By high school, he had appeared multiple times at the Monterey Jazz Festival.
After attending Berklee College of Music on a full scholarship, McCaslin became a sought-after player in New York City. David Bowie saw McCaslin perform as soloist for the Maria Schneider Orchestra and brought in McCaslin’s progressive jazz quartet that came to define Blackstar's visionary stylistic fusion. As David Hadju wrote in The Nation, “Donny McCaslin was David Bowie’s David Bowie.”
In turn, Bowie influenced McCaslin, who fused alt-rock and jazz on his first album with lyrics, 2018’s BLOW.
A new album is forthcoming on Edition Records in 2023.
