ABOUT Karl Denson
KDTU has electrified audiences around the world for over 25 years 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.
