Words and Music, Vol. 2
Saturday, Feb. 22 at 7:00 PM
An evening of live poetry and songs featuring singer/songwriter Sean Devine, jazz percussionist Adam Greenberg and poets Henrietta Goodman and Marc Beaudin. With a new line-up of original songs, poems and improv pieces following last year’s popular Words & Music, this iteration dubbed “Volume 2” promises to be a night to remember.
Montana singer-songwriter Sean Devine has been at the vanguard of his craft in his home state since he released his first album Walking Down the Road in 1997. Subsequent releases include After the Big Parade, Austin Blues, Here For It All, the EP Pencil and Paper, and the forthcoming album Die Happy, featuring musicians from the Eastern Caribbean island of Anguilla. He has performed at countless venues in Montana, Austin, Texas and New York City as well as numerous points in between, and has recorded with luminaries of the Americana scene such as Cody Jinks, Ward Davis, Austin “Hotrod” Tripp, Drew Harakal and Chris Claridy.
Adam Greenberg is a professional drummer, percussionist, and instructor living in the Bozeman area. He has studied at the Cleveland Music School Settlement and Berklee College of Music, and played jazz professionally in the Cincinnati area for ten years in several bands, including Rich Uncle Skeleton and the 20 th Century Big Band. Since moving to Bozeman in 2002, Adam has had the privilege to collaborate with some of the best talent around including Jeni Fleming, Pinky and the Floyd, Six Strings Down, the String Jumpers, the Montana Mandolin Society, the Craig Hall Trio, the Mike Myers Trio, the Glen Johnston Big Band, Andrew Gromiller and the Organically Grown, as well as his own group, the Bridger Mountain Big Band.
Henrietta Goodman is the author of four books of poetry: Antillia, All That Held Us, Hungry Moon, and Take What You Want. She is co-author (with the poet Ryan Scariano) of a chapbook titled Flicker Noise. Her poems and essays have been published in The New England Review, New Ohio Review, Terrain, Bennington Review, River Teeth, Cleaver, and more. She has received fellowships and residencies from the Montana Arts Council, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Boyden Wilderness Writing Residency, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, Fishtrap, and other organizations. She teaches in the English department of Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT.
A former Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation artist-in-residence, Marc Beaudin is a poet, theatre artist and bookseller based in Livingston. He is the author of These Creatures of a Day, Life List: Poems, and Vagabond Song: Neo-Haibun from the Peregrine Journals. His spoken word album, From Coltrane to Coal Train: An Eco-Jazz Suite, features music by members of the band Morphine, and he has performed and recorded with numerous jazz, rock and blues musicians including Bill Payne of Little Feat and the highly acclaimed, experimental jazz collective, The Northwoods Improvisers. His poetry has appeared in Orion, Cutthroat, Whitefish Review, Deep Wild Journal, among others, and is widely anthologized in publications dedicated to environmental and social justice.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Space is limited and this performance is for one night only!
Old Times by Harold Pinter
Its story features only three characters: Deeley, Kate and Anna. On the surface, 'Old Times' offers the simple premise that Anna has come from Italy to visit an old friend Kate, and her husband Deeley in their house by the sea. Yet almost from the beginning there are tensions between the three characters, and an apparent contest for Kate's affection. While hostilities are rarely overtly expressed, the characters seem to be locked in a struggle for power which reaches back in to the past. Through conversations and reminiscences, their histories and personalities are exposed, but it seems unlikely that everything we hear is accurate, particularly as many of the accounts contradict each other. The question arises about whose memories are actually true.

Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol
Jacob Marley was Scrooge’s business partner in life, and the closest thing he had to a friend. In death, he returns to issue Scrooge a warning, serving as a manifestation of the consequences of greed. He has earned his punishment due to the sins he committed in life and explains that Scrooge can expect the same, unless he changes his ways.
Marley’s presence kickstarts a series of events that leads to Scrooge’s transformation, and it also instills into the story a sense of urgency right from the beginning as Marley explains the depth of his suffering. He is weighed down by the chain of his sins; the links are forged of cashboxes, padlocks, ledgers, and steel purses, things the greedy businessman valued most highly when he was alive and which now constitute a fitting sort of eternal comeuppance. Marley informs Scrooge that he too has fashioned himself a chain, though his is invisible, and consists of an additional seven years’ worth of greed. Part of Marley’s punishment has been to watch Scrooge make the same mistakes he did, unable to warn him, and although Marley is granted no means of escaping his own fate, he capitalizes on the opportunity to warn his only friend.
