Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe has announced its Autumn 2025 Tour, which will kick off on August 9 during the band’s already announced festival appearance at the Telluride Jazz Festival in Telluride, Colo., before ensuing stops slated on both coasts from August through September. 

From one festival stage to the next, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe will take their tour to the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Ill. They will follow up with an ensuing performance at Elevation at The Intersection in Grand Rapids, Mich., adding one more regional gig, August 12, at Sonic Lunch in Anna Arbor, Mich., ahead of the Golden State arrival, which take the form of two nights, August 14 and 15 at Belly up in Solana Beach, Calif. 

After a few rest days, the band will resume their schedule on August 20 at Rocking The Docks in Lewes, Del., ahead of their highly anticipated return to Brooklyn, N.Y., and subsequent performance on the Elsewhere Rooftop. Denson’s Tiny Universe will make two stops in the Northeast, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, before the band arrives in Columbus, Ohio, on August 29. 

September beckons the arrival of a gig at Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, Pa., on Sept. 4, before the next night at The Vogel, Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, N.J. After, they will take part in Colorado dates before their slot at Las Vegas’ Bender Jamboree. The final slate of dates takes Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe to The R&D Yard at Bowstring in Raleigh, N.C., on Sept. 18, followed by Charleston, S.C.’s Pour House on Sept. 19, and final appearances in Roswell, Ga., and inevitably, High Point, N.C.
