Spoken-word storytelling meets live band to recast rock legends as the myth for our times...We’ve all felt it! The pounding beat, the thrill of guitars, the legendary tales we can only wonder at: rock music has been a myth for today since it first blazed its trail across the sky. So hear professional storyteller Jon Mason reimagine rock icons as the figures of world mythology and folktale that they truly are! Elvis, the Sun King; Patti the Warrior Poet; Tina who Went to Hell and Back; Kurt, Jimi and all those who flew too high too fast... and always the hordes of young questers, setting out in their wake for adventure.
Featuring members of Robb Johnson & The Irregulars and Shaw's Trailer Park, Promised Land invites you to see famous names in less familiar faces, share in little-known legends of fable and rock history, marvel at the myths that bridge the ages, and ask what the music really means to us now... A must for anyone who ever had posters on their walls, played guitar in the mirror, thrilled to the noise and dreamed of freedom... !
