An Evening of Music, Poetry and Conversation
Free!
With Brother Wayne Kramer of the Mighty MC5, Andrea Scarpino, Hyla Menuhin Douglas and Friends and special guests.
Hyla Menuhin Douglas
hails from a diverse and musical background on both sides of her family, but she has her own expressive style of music and poetry. Being a poet she always felt drawn to songs with great lyrics with a solid blues influence. In her work as a poet and musician she adds an insightful perspective from within and without the jaded and disillusioned society in which we live.
Wayne Kramer

Wayne recently completed work on the score for the ITVS/PBS documentary "The Narcotics Farm" about America?s decades-long failed drug war, as well as the accompanying soundtrack album entitled "Lexington". Rolling Stone Magazine recognizes Kramer as one of the top 100 guitarists of all time.
