About the Show
Jump to:
Imagine, if you will, that the smelliest, chain smoking-est, train hopping-est person you’ve ever met somehow scraped together enough money to buy an acoustic guitar and learned to play somewhere between three and four chords. Welcome to the world of folk punk, where musicians never let lack of money, personal hygiene, or technical skill prevent them from making their art. What kinds of artistic beauty does this anarchistic approach to music produce? What philosophies does it naturally give rise to? This show plays folk punk and related music to try to get to the bottom of these questions, to complain and commiserate, and possibly even to stumble upon some good music along the way.
