Composer, musician and poet, Billy Scher, will be debuting his latest collection of poetic works titled "Guillermo's Midlife Shakedown," at the KGB Red Room on December 10th.
"A life filled with much loss, early loss has brought me into contact with the invader, the Ugly Spirit, and maneuvered me into a lifelong struggle, in which I had no choice except to write my way out. Guillermo's Midlife Shakedown is the universes indecipherable answer to my cries for help."
The evening will also include party favors and special musical guests who will perform some of "Guillermo's" songs and compositions.
