Michael Knott approaches live concerts as an art form. Sometimes unpredictable, sometimes funny, sometimes scary, but always entertaining – a Michael Knott concert experience is one to remember. Sometimes it’s just Mike and his guitar in front of some of his recent paintings. Sometimes it’s Mike joined by a friend on another instrument. And sometimes it’s Mike with one of his bands. Concerts in the past have been rumored to include clown outfits, cookie monster masks, various food objects poured over the head (and splashed on the audience), lots of duct tape, and plenty of insanity.
