Buckethead has always been a mysterious character. He wears a KFC bucket in his head and his real name is not known yet. For several years it was thought that it was Paul Gilbert in costume, in recent years several names have popped out but none has been confirmed.
His style ranges from new age to avant garde, he was part of Guns 'n Roses for a while (his most notable mainstream gig) but he has been part of other bands like Praxis and as a huge discography as a solo artist.
This remarkable character has visited Iowa several times now...

Here are some of his performances I found:
