BOWIE & GARSON

David Bowie’s Longtime Pianist, Mike Garson, to Headline Concert, Featuring Joe Sumner and Special Guest Veronica Swift

Aliso Viejo, CA – On Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 7:30 PM, David Bowie’s piano man, Mike Garson, will headline a powerful evening of music and remembrance at SOKA Performing Arts Center in Aliso Viejo, California.

In honor of the upcoming 10th anniversary of Bowie’s passing from cancer, Garson — Bowie’s longest-standing band member, whose career with David spanned four decades — will lead a concert filled with iconic hits and deep-cut favorites. Garson was at Bowie’s side for his first and last U.S. performances, and his avant-garde piano on tracks like Aladdin Sane helped define the sound of generations.

Joining Garson on lead vocals is Joe Sumner, frontman of Fiction Plane and son of Sting, whose vocals have been celebrated for their emotional depth and energy. Rounding out the evening is a special guest performance by jazz sensation Veronica Swift, hailed by The Wall Street Journal as a “miraculous voice” with an “innate gift for entertaining a crowd.”

“This concert is a deeply personal way for me to honor my friend David and the legacy we created together,” said Mike Garson. “His music changed the world—and continues to inspire us all.”
