Jazz, Soul & Spo­ken­Word at the Acoustic Cafe

The Bryan Nellems Trio will open the show at the Acoustic Spo­ken­Word Cafe on Jan­u­ary 28, 2012. The recently formed ensem­ble fea­tures Bryan Nellems on drums, Phil Shurger on lead gui­tar and Marco Franco on bass. The trio will be doing jazz and soul cov­ers as well as debut­ing some orig­i­nal work by Nellems and Franco.  This up and com­ing trio is mak­ing its mark in the world of music and doesn’t appear to be slow­ing down any time soon; so keep your eyes and ears open for what’s next to come for the Bryan Nellems Trio. 

Poet Linda Bess will read new and res­ur­rected work that explores iden­tity, reflec­tion, addic­tion, love, hate, and life. She finds her way through poetry that explores her iden­tity of being female, Asian-Caucasian, and Amer­i­can. She turns to her past to find answers through explor­ing pho­tographs, quo­ta­tions, and artis­tic work of oth­ers to cre­ate poetry, as well. Her expe­ri­ence of being a recov­er­ing alco­holic, hav­ing chronic pain, and being bipo­lar leads her on a path from mak­ing grave mis­takes to find­ing new life in sobri­ety and health. By explor­ing the par­a­digms of love and hate in every­day life, her work begs for answers that all of us seek – why too often through suf­fer­ing we must fight to find light.
