ROCKPILE Performace (New Orleans)

Sunday, October 25, Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center

ROCKPILE is a collaboration between David Meltzer — poet, musician, essayist, and more — and Michael Rothenberg of Big Bridge Press. David and Michael will journey through eight cities in the U.S. to perform poetry and prose, composed while on the road, with local musicians and artists in each city. ROCKPILE will serve to educate and preserve as well as to create a history of collaboration. It will help to reinforce the tradition of the troubadour of all generations, central to the cultural upheaval and identity politics that reawakened poets, artists, musicians, and songwriters in the mid-1960s through the 1970s. The project will end with a final multimedia performance in San Francisco.

In New Orleans: David Meltzer, Michael Rothenberg and Blodie with members of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Gregory Davis (trumpet), Roger Lewis (bari sax), Terence Higgins (drums), Julius McKee (sousaphone) and Jacob Eckert (guitar)
