A local trio consisting of guitarist Mike Sopko, drummer Joe Tomino and saxophonist Dan Wenninger, Togishi plays entirely improvised music influenced by avant-garde jazz, experimental rock, contemporary classical and electronic noise. In 2016 Sopko and Tomino started playing improv gigs around Cleveland and formed the stoner/doom band, Yellowstone Apocalypse. It was around this time that Wenninger approached the duo about playing an improvised gig at the 1Way (a longstanding experimental and new music showcase in Cleveland). Togishi formed in the wake of that gig. Songs such as "The Rise and Fall of Higbee's" recall John Zorn with their squealing saxophones and spastic drumming. (Niesel) $10

Garson performed with David at his first and last concerts in the United States as well as 1,000 concerts together around the globe in between. Special guest singers routinely make appearances as well. (Niesel) $29.99-$57.50
