Recommended Event: Poetry with Music TONIGHT
Remember way back in July when we interviewed Chris Stroffolino about his music? If you don’t, you can check out the original interview with Chris. But as a refresher course, we learned about his solo music, his busking days, and his work with “literate garage rock” band Continuous Peasant. I’m sure you already know this, but reading about music isn’t the same as actual going to hear music. So now’s your chance to get off the page and go check out what Chris is doing.
The event is called “A Tribute to Unacknowledged Godmother of ‘Freak Folk’, Helen Adam”. The title pretty much says it all, but for those of us that are looking at this through a haze of some sort, Chris is taking some of the lyrics to Helen Adam’s original music and performing it to some music of his own. This all happens tonight, November 1st, over at the SFSU Poetry Center. For those who don’t know, that’s located at the Unitarian Church off Geary street near Franklin and Polk.
If you like the show, be sure to ask Chris about a project that he’s putting together in which other musicians will also be recording versions of Helen Adam’s work for an eventual album.
