C.R.Avery this Sunday - Stockton on Tees
The C.R.Avery http://cravery.com/ Coup
We say, and Tom Waits says “Seek this man out”. That’s because he is a quiet sensation.
**C.R. Avery**
Here’s how it goes…
The show will start with a lone man walking on to the stage, in the shabby ripped denim and punched-in, brimmed hat of a hobo, The man approaches the microphone and pulls out a harmonica. Without a word he blows a few easy notes, to test that the mike is on and the audience is listening. The easy notes develop into a sunny melody. Suddenly he busts into an aggressive beat-box rhythm through the harmonica while still carrying the sunny melody. The silence of the audience breaks and cheers ring out as a wave of electricity washes through. The audience now knows that the man on stage is for real and what he is doing is different from what they have seen before. Next the man is reaching around his back and pulling out a small, red, guitar-sized keyboard. He starts playing the keyboard along with the rest of the music, becoming a one-man band, doing all three things at the same time. And then, on top of all that, he starts singing.
