Stuart Bogie has long made his mark on the live-music circuit. As a saxophonist, he spent over 15 years as a core member of Afrobeat pioneers Antibalas—and still collaborates with the veteran group and other members of the extended Daptone family to this day. As a sideman, he’s toured the world with major indie-rock and pop acts like Arcade Fire and TV on the Radio, racking up credits with The Hold Steady, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, James Murphy, Hamilton Leithauser, Kevin Morby, members of The National and even Taylor Swift along the way. And, in the core jamband world, he’s one of the few people who has shared the stage with Phil Lesh & Friends, Phish, Goose, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, the Disco Biscuits, String Cheese Incident and Medeski Martin & Wood—to the point where it often feels like a Bogie sit in feels as essential to a band’s New York visit as a pretzel or slice of pizza.
