Maynard Keenan’s New Sushi Venture | Rock Music News

Maynard James Keenan, the legendary voice of Tool and A Perfect Circle, is diving deeper into his Arizona roots with a bold new venture: Queen B Sushi, set to open September 4 in Old Town Cottonwood. Already a cultural force behind Queen B Vinyl Café — a beloved hub for music and Record Store Day — Keenan’s sushi spot taps into his lifelong love of the cuisine, dating back to his Boston days. Led by acclaimed chef Brett Vibber (ex-Roka Akor) and backed by culinary stars Chuhiro Kato (trained under Nobu and Morimoto) and Arizona’s own Sheridan Chase, the restaurant promises top-tier sushi. The idea emerged organically as Keenan and his wife realized their existing chef was up to the challenge — proving that even in a small town, big dreams can become reality. Beyond food and music, Keenan remains a driving force in Arizona’s wine scene, having helped establish Verde Valley as an AVA and building iconic wineries like Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards — cementing his legacy as a true desert visionary.
