Pure energy. Unfiltered sound. Total mayhem. SKERIK doesn’t just play the sax—he bends it to his will, twisting jazz, funk, rock, and the avant-garde into something wild, raw, and unforgettable. A master of sonic chaos, he’s toured and recorded with legends like Les Claypool, Medeski Martin & Wood, Pearl Jam, and Fred Wesley, tearing up stages across the globe. From blistering improv with Critters Buggin to deep grooves with Garage a Trois, SKERIK’s performances are unhinged, unpredictable, and straight-up mind-melting.

Over 200 recordings, countless sold-out shows, and a reputation as one of the most electrifying saxophonists alive—miss him at your own risk. The SKERIK QUARTET takes over Black Cat May 29 – June 1. Featuring Tim Kennedy on piano, Geoff Harper on bass, and D’Vonne Lewis on drums.
