MuthaWit returns + Sounded Text

Ah, the weather...a perfect time to revel in this final bit of play-summer and go hear some live music.

The BAMCafé Live Series is a curated affair and an upcoming show has myself in the periphery (little disclosure here). I might be fleshy-real or a virtual presence, one never knows. But one thing for sure is MuthaWit will be coming with it on this coming Friday, October 12th. Boston Fielder came back from a summer Southern sojourn like a phoenix with a burn on. He'll be telling stories, fireflying across the stage, bringing out prior favorites and new gonna-be's with that particular melange of channeling musicians that is MuthaWit...You can't be sure what you'll get, except sorry if you don't make it there.

Oh, yeah, and it's being filmed for TV, so MuthaWit is asking folks to show in force, show the love, sho' nuff...
