Bob Wiseman Hanging a label on Bob Wiseman is an effort not worth undertaking. By the time you get around to setting a boundary to what it is that he does, it no longer applies. He is an idiosyncratically unique performer who has always remained true to his artistic vision. An award winning pianist (he can play 5 Cs simultaneously) and song-writer who accompanies live on the accordion, guitar or casio - little films he writes featuring guests Feist, Sara Harmer or Scott Thompson of Kids in The Hall. Unfortunately Warner Canada chose to destroy their first pressings (2,000 copies) of his debut release "In Her Dream" , as lawyers deemed his political songs libelous, yet precisely for his songs he won the 2007 "Lifetime Achievement" award from CBC Radio 3. He has also been the recipient of 5 Juno awards (The Canadian Grammys), 3 NOW Magazine Peoples' Choice Awards, Q107 Radio Best Keyboardist Award and sits on the board of directors for both the Blocks Recording Club (the only Musician owned and run co-op in the world) and TAIS (the Toronto Animated Image Society).

Charles Latham "The heir to the KY Jelly fortune, Charles Latham blew his inheritence on a massive underground bunker, which he stocked with low-grade instruments, recording equipment, liquor and ready-meals. Since it was completed he has released an album a year, most of which have disappeared into obscurity."

A musical history of vampires in Colonial Pennsylvania.
8 pm-10.00 pm $10
Bowery Poetry Club,
308 Bowery between Bleecker and Houston, NYC
It’s 1763 and there are vampires in Philadelphia.
Paula Abdul Blackwood is a beautiful young quaker girl being forced into marriage with the wheelwright’s son.
Jack Sheridan, a politically idealistic young vampire, is the man she loves.
Everywhere there is dissent. Fractious parties debate the future of the colony.
MC Skat Kat and Benjamin Franklin vie for power in the Assembly.
_______
A touching, informative, and spooky musical hayride through fake American history, set to the music of Paula Abdul, as performed by the likes of CORN MO, THE O’DEBRA TWINS, JASON TRACHTENBERG, THE PIZZAS, and more. . .
Learn about the history of vampires in Philadelphia while crying because you are so moved by the plot in this staged reading of a new jukebox musical
from my sister’s dead friend.
