KODAC HARRISON
SYCAMORE PLACE GALLERY, DECATUR
From Kodac: This show, which was inspired by Neil Young's recent solo performance at the Fox, will start at 8 pm and will have a $5 cover. I want to put together a show in an arty atmosphere, where I do all the things I do in performance. That is play guitar, sing, tell stories and perform spoken word. I will tell the story of my experience in the German Irish Pub and much more. 120 Sycamore Place, Decatur.
