Me and the poetess went out to see one of her favourite bands - CR Avery. This was the third time I saw CR. First time was at Rime with a group of singer poets aclled the "fugitives". He was great. Then I saw him at the Spoken Word festival as part of a trio called "Tofu (Ton of Fun University)" Mostly spoken word, and again he was great. But, the poet tells me, you have to see him with his band, he totally rocks. Well she was right!! I'm listening to their new CD right now. It's called "chainsmoking blues". Highly reccomend getting it, or getting out to one of his shows. The passion and talent this guy brings is not to be missed. He had the audience doing back up vocals, and encored the show with the whole band on the top of the bar at Cafe DuSoliel.
Turns out my old friend Noah is CR's guitar player, and brilliant. It's cool when someone you know and like, just cause, turns out to be super talented. I love that when it happens.
