Performance and Booksigning

Stand-up poet Mikhail Horowitz and unapologetically French guitarist Gilles Malkine have been performing together in the Hudson Valley and beyond since 1989. They perpetrate increasingly unlawful acts of political satire and recycle literary classics, adapting them to rap, blues, bop, hip-hop, high-tech hillbilly, and other, even scruffier musical idioms. They also spoof or pay backhanded homage to various sub-genres of American roots music. We will be celebrating the publication of Mikhail’s new book, Rafting into the After-Life. According to the poet: "The 42 poems in this book were culled from a 365-poem opus titled One Year."
