Nora Jane Struthers, Lloyd Kaufman, Seven Handle Circus, Associated Artists, and More on TAW
Today on the show we'll be genre jumping like never before from “new Americana” to Mozart's Magic Flute, and from new Dimensions in art, to low brow/high concept cinema. Outspoken Troma Entertainment co-founder Lloyd Kaufman says “Give art back to the people”, and Triad Arts Weekend's Eddie Garcia says “You're pushin' on an open door”. Then Bethany Chafin sits in with Nora Jane Struthers. This weekend, she and The Party Line are headed Carolina. And David gets his first taste of what's been called “rowdy Bluegrass” with Seven Handle Circus's Colin Vinson. They'll be at Twin City Ribfest this weekend. At American Singer's Opera Project The Queen of the Night may scream “Abandoned may you be forever”, but hey, you're never alone on TAW.
