Art After Hours: Music Performance with Juan & the Pines

Juan & the Pines makes traditional, inventive Americana music, adding poetic lyricism to melodies inspired by some of country and western music’s original recording stars and most beloved sounds. Classical piano lessons, the poetry and queer country music scenes on both coasts, and years spent studying languages gave Julian Talamantez Brolaski, the lead singer and songwriter, the foundation to create “sweet, cutting, and melancholy” (Country Queer) country and western music. As a poet, Brolaski has released three critically acclaimed books of poems that “[push] lyric to its limits, often forcing it as close to music as it can get” (Public Books).

This event will be broadcast live on KSPC 88.7fm!
