The special evening also includes Keenan reading passages from ‘A Perfect Union of Contrary Things’\u00a0(Nov. 8, Backbeat Books) with a backdrop of never before seen photos and videos, as well as taking questions from the audience in what will be a rare moment of direct interaction between the elusive musician and the fans of his projects.<\/p>\n General admission and VIP tickets for the Washington, D.C., Chicago, Portland and Seattle events are on-sale this Friday, Aug. 5, at 10 am eastern, San Francisco on-sale is Friday, Aug. 5 at 12 noon pacific. Tickets for the New York and Toronto dates are available now. Additional dates will be announced soon.<\/p>\n ‘A Perfect Union of Contrary Things’\u00a0presents the outtakes, the scenes of disappointment and triumph, and the events that led Maynard James Keenan to take one step after the next, to change direction, to explore sometimes-surprising opportunities. Included throughout are passages in Keenan’s own words, often-humorous anecdotes that illuminate the narrative.\u00a0 Commentary by his family members, friends, instructors, and industry colleagues rounds out the Sarah Jensen with Maynard James Keenan penned biography with a foreword from American visionary artist and longtime Keenan friend, Alex Grey. The biography arrives on Nov. 8 via Backbeat Books, an imprint of Hal Leonard Performing Arts Publishing Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
