Tool Announce Intimate Music Clinics

Tool have announced a handful of intimate music clinics. The band—drummer Danny Carey, bass player Justin Chancellor and guitar player Adam Jones—will discuss the inner workings of Tool's music with audiences. Frontman Maynard James Keenan will not participate.

According to a post on the band's website, Carey, Chancellor and Jones will walk audiences through a selection of the band's songs, from the process of writing them to playing them live. Audience members will be encouraged to ask questions and mingle with the band following the discussion.

An accompanying, traveling exhibit will be on display at each event, featuring unique items from Tool’s history, and ticket holders will receive commemorative merchandise, exclusive to the series of events and limited to the number of people in attendance.

You can see the full schedule of clinics below.
