“David Wilcox’s ongoing musical journey is compelling and richly deserving of a listen.” — Rolling Stone
David Wilcox is a penetrating storyteller. The revered folk musician has an effortless talent for spinning lyrics that quietly cut deep, and crafting melodies that seamlessly ride the plot twists and turns. Wilcox handily exemplifies the power of lyrical and musical catharsis.
Chris Olander – an Evening of Poetry & Music
Thursday, November 2, 7:30pm
Nevada Theatre, Nevada City, California
Chris Olander presents a retrospective of his poetic output since 1990’s through 2023; thirty years of love, ecology, environmental, political, social and historical works both narrative and lyrical poems that explore what it is to be a human being. The poems will be backed by 7 musicians to create a semi-improvisational sound of a post beat impressionism of social and ecological relationships from the turn of the century and beyond in a gender bending look at what could be now and in the future.
Musicians include “Cool Hand Uke” Scanlan on the ukulele; Tynowyn on harp, percussion, hammer dulcimer and chimes; Kelly Fleming on guitar; Samson Suneyez on flute; Ludi Henrichs on piano; Elena Rayo on guitar and violin; and maybe a few more will join in the river of music and words.
Olander is a poet, teacher and bio-educator with California Poets in the Schools. He blends performance techniques with spoken word to create an Action Art Poetry: musical image phrasing to dramatize relative experiences – a poetry arising from oral and bardic traditions. He is an organizer and featured reader in the Berkeley Watershed Poetry Festival. He served as Artistic Director for the Nevada County Poetry Series and as editor on six poetry anthologies. He also served as a Poet Coach for the California Arts Council’s Poetry Out Loud competitions.
Chris has written two books; River Light published by Poetic Matrix Press and Twilight Roses published by R. L. Crow Press; and four chapbooks (Sierra Streams, Mass Man’s Epiphanies, December Birds and Iris) and has recorded seven CDs of his poetry. He describes himself as “a sound poet exploring various meanings of words, phriasings and ideas arranged in sound and rhythm patterns.”
A river of words and images penetrating the cultural milieu of our times: “A sign of our times,” as Richard Gill the “Medicin
