Karma Train Returns to the Whisky A-Go-Go for Full “Stylus” LP Performance

Dave Lebental & Karma Train are set to return to the legendary Whisky A-Go-Go, bringing with them a special performance that puts the music front and center. The band will perform Lebental’s new LP “Stylus” live in its entirety, along with select cuts from 2024’s The Long Player — a night designed to let the songs stretch, breathe, and fully come alive onstage.

Known for turning tightly written studio tracks into expansive, jam-forward performances, Karma Train thrives in the live setting. Lebental’s piano-driven rock songs open up in concert, evolving into extended, energized arrangements that lean into feel, interplay, and spontaneity — the kind of performances the Whisky has hosted for decades.

Karma Train features an accomplished lineup: John “JT” Thomas (guitar/keys/vocals), best known for his work with Billy Sherwood of Yes; Gary Ferguson (drums), whose résumé includes John Hiatt, Eddie Money, and Etta James; Dan Boissy (saxophone), who has toured and recorded with Macy Gray, Pitbull, and Larry Carlton; and Mick Linden (bass/vocals) of Chumbawamba. Together, the band brings depth, muscle, and musical conversation to every song, transforming Lebental’s catalog into a powerful, performance-driven experience.

At the Whisky — a room built on risk, volume, and songs that mattered — “Stylus” finds its natural home.

Dave Lebental & Karma Train hit the stage at the legendary Rhythm Room in Phoenix, performing selections from their full “Stylus” LP alongside fan favorites from The Long Player. Known for transforming tightly written studio tracks into extended, jam-driven live performances, the band brings energy, groove, and spontaneity to every song — letting the music fully come alive onstage.

Also on the bill: local powerhouse Jeordie & The Mixology, adding their own flair to an unforgettable night of rock and soul.

Make your plans now — this is a show fans of classic-inspired, piano-forward rock won’t want to miss.
