Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe has announced an upcoming tribute to Aretha Franklin at New Orleans, LA’s Orpheum Theater. The late-night show will take place on May 3rd, coinciding with the second weekend of The Crescent City’s Jazz Fest. The tribute is billed as R.E.S.P.E.K.T. (with “K.T.” representing Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe) – A Special Tribute To The Queen Of Soul, and will feature an assortment of special guests.
Last year at the Orpheum, Denson and his Tiny Universe compadres played a special set—their tribute to The Rolling Stones’ Exile On Main St. (a fitting tribute considering that Denson himself joined The Rolling Stones as a touring member back in 2014)—for the fans who made it out. KDTU has also performed tributes to Prince, The Allman Brothers Band, Ray Charles, and others in the past.
Tickets for the special tribute go on sale Thursday, December 20th at 12 p.m. (CST) here.
