The Bean’s newest monthly event brings talented local amateur comedians to the stage. Come on out and perform or laugh heartily. As always, hosted by the inimitable Patrick the Red.

A man, often with others, some toys, and an obsolete robot orchestra.

Most Resident Patient fans find the band difficult to describe. Veined with rock, Electronica, folk and jazz, this band creates a unique sound that is memorable yet sophisticated. Aside from the flavor of the songs themselves, a Resident Patient show tends to be an interesting visual and sonic experience. With a voracious appetite for improvisation, and a wide array of unique instruments, Resident Patient delivers a performance that often surprises even its most loyal fans. – The Salisbury Post

Devon McClive: www.myspace.com/devonmcclivemusic

Born and raised in the foothills of the Appalachians, Devon’s musical world opened up when, with the help of her father and his friends, an old, raw umber upright piano arrived in the country farmhouse where she grew up. With its old dusty hammers and brittle ivories, she pounded out the chords and scales that laid the groundwork of musical language. On her tenth birthday, her grandparents presented her with a family heirloom of an ancient violin. Because she grew up on a farm, you’d think she play fiddle music, but her mother pushed her toward classical violin. After five years of screeches and wobbly bow technique, her beloved teacher handed her a cello and from then on, she didn’t look back. Years of lessons, orchestra experience, a trip to Europe with a chamber group and one art school degree later, she finds her interest in indie folk and rock. What she presents now are songs with soft untrained lyrics on top of layers of cello. Accompanied by an old brown briefcase, she plugs into the effects that send the sweet sounds into space with delay, looping and distortion. The songs are derived from living on West Coast waters with a taste of Appalachia seeping into solo melodies. The dark breath of the cello and haunting melodies are balanced by light strumming of folk chords and children’s lullabies. Much of her most recent musical experience comes from collaborating with other musicians around the San Francisco Bay Area and the Pacific Northwest. She has played with Leyna Noel, Entamoeba, and Matthew Mitchell; all of which ranging from indie rock to singer songwriter folk, to improvisational orchestra. She keeps up her classical chops for the opportunity of performing at weddings and other formal functions.

“An orchestral pop gem if there ever was one.” -PopMatters

“Dream pop’s long awaited changing of the guard.” -Magnet

“An impressive debut to say the least, and is, without question, orchestral pop at it’s finest.” -Venus

“Venice is Sinking rivals the best ambient rock bands. The harmonies and orchestral feel of the tracks transcend their genre, making it not simply slow music, but experimental, uplifting, and fascinating.” -Paste

”...an engaging and beautiful piece of slowcore.” -Under The Radar

”...with its co-ed harmonies and wandering streams of dense melodies, it is the perfect soundtrack for unexpected overcast days. -Pitchfork Media

”...some of lushest, most beautifully orchestrated pop I’ve heard this year.” -NPR

”...AZAR finds Venice Is Sinking expanding on the orchestral, ambient, pop that initially caught my ear invoking the mellower side of Yo La Tengo/Mojave 3.” -Aquarium Drunkard

A.W.O.L Inc. is an elite organization of poets, hip-hop artists, and performers. The goal of the organization is to promote and provide self-awareness to people of all ages within the community.

http://awolinc.org

A.W.O.L All Walks of Life was started in 1997 by Tony A. Jordan along with a small group of friends. The name A.W.O.L. stands for “All Walks of Life,” which reinforces A.W.O.L’s commitment to diversity. The organizations basic concept stemmed from one individuals love for the art of performance poetry and rap. During an A.W.O.L. session in one of the Savannah State University campus rooms, the group was informed that they could not utilize the room because they were not a registered campus organization. This was the birth of Savannah State University’s first Poetry and Hip-Hop based organization. A.W.O.L. shows became popular campus attractions and before long students from surrounding colleges begin attending along with the Savannah community as well. In September of 2004 A.W.O.L was formally incorporated as a 501( c ) 3 non-profit organization and became A.W.O.L All Walks of Life, Inc. A.W.O.L Inc.’s birth was influenced by the need of young African-American students to be heard and respected as artist. “Spoken Word” as it is often referred to now, has a devout following in the local area, with A.W.O.L Inc. at the helm. AWOL Inc.’s mission was and still is to promote and provide self-awareness through poetry, hip-hop and life.

Worcester/Savannah/Worcester poet Rushelle Frazier returns to the area for a night of performance poetry and music with tour mate, Matt Fox.

Matt Fox and Rushelle Frazier are three traveling poets and musicians from Worcester (pronounced “wist-ah”) Massachusetts. They’re setting out this summer on a cross-country tour to share music, poetry, and this one really good joke we promise we remember the punch line to.

Matt Fox is an up and coming musician hailing from the rusty spot in central Massachusetts that gets called Worcester. Over the last 8 years, Matt has remained a self taught guitarist and songwriter. He plays a wide range of original acoustic tunes that manage to make their way out as something his own through a whole history of influences from all the far reaches you can think of. No show can be too intimate, and no audience too diverse. “Life is too short for cheap, contrived music.” Out of this sentiment, Matt strives to play music that goes to the heart and has something to say that matters. He has self-released an EP and one full length record.

Rushelle Frazier has been hosting poetry readings since 2001, most recently The Dirty Gerund Poetry Show. She’s a member of the 2002 Worcester Slam Team and co-coach of the 2004 Worcester Youth Slam Team. Rushelle was voted Best Female Poet at the 2006 Savannah Spoken Word Festival. She’s given readings and workshops at schools and colleges along the East coast. This spring she released her fourth chapbook, Ballad of the Unreliable Narrator.
