Keenan, who is known for not merely being protective about his personal life but at times pointedly cagey and misleading about his history, will participate in a moderated discussion about the book and his decision to share such intimate details about his life. The special evening also includes Keenan reading passages from A Perfect Union of Contrary Things (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.
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.

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.
