Brian Carroll will be performing Thursday night at the Cabooze in Minneapolis.

Carroll was a member of Guns N' Roses and has played with Bootsy Collins, Iggy Pop and many others.

Guitar One magazine ranks him as one of the top 10 fastest guitar shredders of all time. You may know Carroll better by his stage name, Buckethead. On stage he wears a white mask and a KFC bucket on his head. He recently revealed on the Coming Alive podcast that wearing the bucket and the mask help him overcome his stage fright.
