DERRICK BROWN:
Derrick Brown, former paratrooper for the 82nd Airborne, gondolier, magician, and fired weatherman, now travels the world and performs his written work. From Long Beach, CA, he is dedicated to bringing American poetry into rock and roll status.
As one of the most original and well-traveled writer/performers in the country, Derrick Brown has gained a cult following for his poetry performances all over the U.S. and Europe. A poetic terrorism group has taken to tagging his metaphors across the globe. About.com called his latest collection, Scandalabra, one of the best books of 2009.
To date, Brown has performed at over 1500 venues and universities internationally including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, La Sorbonne in Paris, CBGB's in NYC and a small Jewish youth group in Glendale.
Known for a moving show that incorporates poetry, minimalist music, and sound effects, Brown is unique for being an outstanding performer but is foremost a page poet. He is the president of Write Bloody Publishing, the first indie press to be reviewed with favor by Forbes magazine.
Derrick will be available after the show to schmooze, mingle, and to sell and sign his books!
PRAISE FOR DERRICK BROWN:
"A wit as sharp as Sedaris, a sensibility poignant as Sexton, Brown manages to blur the lines between poet and cult writer with remarkable ease and grace."
- Anthem Magazine
"He is probably America's greatest unknown literary talent. Derrick has blown honesty and humor into the darkness and has somehow made poetry cool again."
-Nylon Magazine
"Derrick is leading a revolution to inject poetry, both written & spoken, with the raucous and booze-infused spirit of Rock 'n Roll."
- Sara Graham, VenusZine

THOMAS PAUL:
Thomas Paul's music has been described as "acoustic trance pop" and "electric folk noir". Check out his extensive bio and preview his amazing songs at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/thomaspaulmusic, and his blog at thomaspaulmusic.com.
PRAISE FOR THOMAS PAUL:
"[Thomas Paul's] slick finesse on guitar [is] deliciously addicting. It is the proficiency you would expect from a musician who has been playing for a solid twenty years and is so devoted to his craft"
