CUSSCUSS: An evening of poetry and music with Derrick C. Brown & Cardioid
Busted Mouth presents: CUSS CUSS, An evening with Derrick C. Brown (Poet) and Lizzy Ellison (Musician- Cardioid)
On the follow-up of tours apart from one another this year, Derrick and Lizzy have merged brains to form CUSS CUSS. A project that combines what they do best, into beautiful chapter-like performances, moving from poetry to music seamlessly.
DERRICK C. BROWN is a novelist, comedian, poet, and storyteller. He is the winner of the 2013 Texas Book of The Year award for Poetry. He is a former paratrooper for the 82nd Airborne and is the owner and president of Write Bloody Publishing, which Forbes and Filter Magazine call one of the best independent poetry presses in the country. He is the author of eight books of poetry and three childrens books. The New York Times calls his work, a rekindling of faith in the weird, hilarious, shocking, beautiful power of words. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
LIZZY ELLISON (Cardioid) After years of pumping up the indie cred of Portland darlings Radiation City, Ellison teamed with Riley Geare (Unknown Mortal Orchestra) to form the core of Cardioid. The result is something far less cloistered and calculated than RadCity ever dared to approach, letting Ellison's vocals drive this train of quirky modern pop. Patient crescendos open up to dance rock denouements, a country tune pops in for a "howdy-do," and flat-out R&B reveals Ellison's immediate and engaging honesty.
Also performing are J.W. Basilo and several local guests including Andy Karol and hosts Joel Chmara & Tim Stafford.
The show takes place at Under The Gun Theater. 956 West Newport Avenue Chicago, IL. 8pm. 7pm doors. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.
