The Bushwick Book Club is going to bring you America like you have never seen it before. We will take you all the way back to when Christopher Columbus first set foot on these great shores, and write music inspired by it. Then we won’t stop until we hit the present day! 12 songwriters are going to bring you visions of the USA and more through songwriting. Not only will there be music, but a delicious array of “down-home” American foods available.
The Bushwick Book Club is not your run of the mill book club. Much like any, we act upon the urge to read and to have discussions about what we read. But we found that this was not enough for us. When we read books, we also want to write songs about them. And when we write songs, we like to perform them for an audience.
We also love being in this great country and getting the chance to do all that we do. So we decided to write music inspired by A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn. But that’s not all! We are going to bring to you some of the best American food, sing some of the great American songs, and generally do this party up right!
This event is going to include delicious “American” food made by Martin Woods, one of the great chefs in Seattle.
The music is going to feature a fine group of local musicians writing original music inspired by the book. They will include: Bucket of Honey, Wes Weddell, Tai Shan, Ben Gilmer, Levi Fuller, MoZo, Tubaluba, Mike Votava, Eloise and Aleksandra, Eric Lane Barnes, Del Rey and Vince Mtz. These musicians span a wide range of musical influence and performance.
It is sure to be an amazing experience for the audience and the performers!
