PETE REID: SONGS FROM THE EDGE OF THE WORLD



petereid.jpg

Writer-creator and singer-actor Pete Reid brings his latest collection of songs and stories, all penned as a tribute to those on the edges of life, to a remote shed in Brunswick. Ranging in styles from alternate folk, smokin’ blues, and dark cabaret, and featuring stories and songs about English high rollers in Las Vegas and wayward polar bears. In order to evoke an atmosphere of remoteness, the show is being performed in a small wooden shed in East Brunswick, the cedar-wood walls creating a certain wooden cabin quality. As performer and creator, Pete combines acting, oral storytelling, set design, and projected illustrations and animations to deliver a transportive concert experience in an intimate environment. Experimental guitarist Jeremy Parker contributes his rich textures and haunting tones to the songs and stories, contributing both nuance and atmosphere to the sound. Andrew Tanner (Vulgagrad, Zulya) will also join on some nights as a guest bass player.
