Tom Russell
Monday 20 October : 8pm

Utilizing the recorded rants of circus midget Little Jack Horton as well as the voices of Lenny Bruce, Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac, Edward Abbey, Harry Partch, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Dave Van Ronk and others ... Russell fashions a musical collage that speaks of an American Culture gone dead. He summons up the music that influenced his childhood and carries the listener toward an edgy, Beat montage on America.
