About the band:

Larry Chunn

First Friday with poetry by J. Stephen Rhodes, Katerina Stoykova-Klemer and music by Little Maggie

$10

$5 with student ID

Stephen Rhodes writes about living on the edges between security and fear, guilt and grace, as well as between country and city, and prosperity and scarcity.

Regarding his poems and essays, he comments, “I want to write in a way that offers hope for people like myself who are more than a little overwhelmed by modern life. I want to be honest about the brokenness that besets us, but I am also looking for beauty in the midst of that brokenness.”

Katerina Stoykova-Klemer writes poetry and prose in both Bulgarian and English. She enjoys translating between the two languages, as well. Her poems and stories have appeared in numerous literary publications in the United States and in Europe, and her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net Award and AWP Intro Award.

Katerina's first book of poetry, The Air around the Butterfly, published by Fakel Express, was released in August, 2009. Her first chapbook, The Most, is now in pre-order from Finishing Line Press.

Little Maggie is a pair of Lexington songwriters whose songs have been covered by some respected musicians. Karah's original "Mourning Cloak" appears on Laurie Lewis' (with The Right Hands) CD "The Golden West" (Hightone Records 2006). "Mourning Cloak" saw airplay on XM Radio's Bluegrass Junction and the country playlist of Lufthansa Airlines. Sing Out Magazine's review of the CD singled out the cut for praise as "a real gem." Bob has three cuts on guitar god Jim Hurst's most recent CD, "Box of Chocolates" (2007). Jim has been nominated for IBMA Guitar Player of the Year every year since 2001, and won in 2001 and 2002.

Bawn in the Mash

Together, Bill Evans & Megan Lynch make music that's going to surprise you. Since teaming up as a touring duo in 2008, Albany, CA and Nashville, TN bluegrass mainstays Bill Evans & Megan Lynch have been performing all around the United States and in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Spanning a thirty-five year professional performing career, banjo player and Banjo For Dummies author Bill Evans has performed with Dry Branch Fire Squad, Peter Rowan, David Grisman, Hazel Dickens, Laurie Lewis, Jody Stecher, Kathy Kallick, Bluegrass Intentions and his own Bill Evans String Summit.

Old-Timey Riot Music For Dancing The Can Kickers play loud, fast old timey music with the occasional funky beat thrown in. Think what would happen if Minor Threat and the Ramones picked up banjoes and fiddles and joined a New Orleans-style second line. The Can Kickers like to play shows for people who like to dance. They've played over 600 shows since 2000 in basements, living rooms, bars, clubs, festivals, bomb shelters, on the back of a moving bus, on the back of a moving pickup truck, and even at a stadium once. They've played all over the US multiple times and taken a trip or two to Ireland and the Netherlands. They have also recently returned from a 7 week tour of Mexico.
