Formed in 1982 by John Flansburgh and John Linnell, They Might Be Giants originally performed as a duo backed by recorded drum tracks or a drum machine. They’ve released nearly two dozen studio and children’s music albums, winning Grammy awards in 2002 and 2009. For this tour, "We are doing favorites and new stuff, along with very different old stuff," says the band. “With 85-plus songs now in active repertoire, the shows change radically from night to night, and there is a different album in the spotlight every night.” The evening will feature two sets, performed by an eight-piece band with three horns.
