That 1 Guy

That 1 Guy
Artist Biography

That 1 Guy—real name Mike Silverman—amazes audiences with performances that are equal parts innovative sonic spectacle and entertaining visual showcase.

The classically-trained-jazz-bassist-turned-musical-mad-scientist will make a 2009 autumn trek across the country with his Magic Pipe, a homemade instrument concocted out of steel plumbing tube that allows Silverman to deliver a mind-bending amalgamation of percussive rhythm and sound.

 

The “Mustaches & Laser Beams Tour” promises to be That 1 Guy’s most inventive. “I’m upping the ante with the stage show,” says Silverman. “There are going to be new visual tricks. I want them to be surprises, and I can’t wait to spring them on people.

 

With an audience that ranges from psychedelic warriors to families and folks of all ages, he has played the Magic Pipe in locales as exotic as Noumea, Istanbul, Scotland and Australia, where That 1 Guy is celebrated as a modern folk hero.  At the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he was presented with the Tapwater Award for Best Musical Act.

One-man band and master of a spectacular musical instrument: The Magic Pipe

"Necessity is the mother of invention. But in the case of Mike Silverman's slamming, futuristic funk act, That 1 Guy, the normal rules of biology just don't apply."
