LISTEN TO KARL DENSON’S TINY UNIVERSE

Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe (KDTU) has electrified audiences around the world for over 25 years, from the fields of Naeba in Japan at the Fuji Rock Festival to Madison Square Garden, where they joined the Dave Matthews Band and James Brown. Performing as Sexual Chocolate (Karl was in the original band in Coming To America and its sequel) at Outside Lands in San Francisco, and as the first late-night act at the inaugural Bonnaroo, KDTU has been a dominating force in music.

All-night, sold-out Jazzfest concerts in New Orleans have featured sit-ins by Lenny Kravitz, Steve Winwood, Marc Ribot, and Boyfriend. Karl’s bandmates from The Rolling Stones, Chuck Leavell and Bernard Fowler, have joined onstage and on record, along with 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.

Touring the country with the Allman Brothers, My Morning Jacket, D’Angelo, The Roots, Public Enemy, Bob Weir, Parliament Funkadelic, Slightly Stoopid, and Widespread Panic, KDTU’s live performances have reached audiences everywhere. In addition to KDTU, Karl Denson, aka “Diesel,” is a founding member of the seminal groove act The Greyboy Allstars.
