(UPDATE: "Jimmy Kimmel Live" begins at midnight, not 11:35 p.m. Thanks for heads up, Alex.)
Dan Deacon, arguably Baltimore's best known electronic musician, will make his national TV debut tonight on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
He will perform the "America" single "True Thrush" with an ensemble. The show starts at 11:35 p.m. midnight, but in typical late-night talk show fashion, he won't perform until the end of the show. The studio audience will use the Dan Deacon smartphone app during the performance.
Deacon has had a busy year that didn't slow down after the release of his third album in August. Earlier this month, he released his first free mash-up mix, "Wish Book Volume 1." He's currently finishing up a nationwide tour that ends Saturday at Tampa, Fla.'s Crowbar. Deacon is scheduled to tour Europe in February.
