Artis The Spoonman

Artis the Spoonman is a living myth. Since 1972 he has created a state-of-the art cultural legend. From the sidewalks and bars of Seattle, San Francisco, Manhattan, Sidney, London, Dublin, Munich and Singapore, to the theaters of Broadway, the stages of international and national television and the recording studios of Frank Zappa and Soundgarden, his spellbinding, faster-than-the-eye-can-track spoonplaying has been a passionate rhythm enhancement for rock, fusion, folk, jazz, bluegrass, classical and other music. He has shared the stage with Jim Page, Frank Zappa, Aerosmith, the Flying Karamazov Brothers, David Sanborn, Pete Seeger, k.d.
