Details:
Lonesome Monsters is a unique collaboration featuring widely published popular poet Bud Osborn and professional jazz musicians Graham Ord (Saxes Flutes Piano)and Paul Blaney (Acoustic Bass)
Lonesome Monsters is unique because of the union achieved between words and music, rendering even more vividly the anguish, the pathos, the black humour, the violence, the everyday heartbreak and relationships. Osborn''s poetry communicates directly from his experience in the depths of the street; in the desperation of the middle class; with troubled teenagers; and in the struggles of alcoholics and drug addicts towards liberation.
Lonesome Monsters in it''s head-on confrontation with the darkest of contemporary realities, redeems them through the beauty and power of this group''s expression and vision.
we are not entertainers
we are purveyors
of reality stripped
to it''s raw blue screaming naked
monstrous truth
and everyday beauty
we cut through the divisions
of class race age gender
by speaking
from our experience
the pain
the compassion
the yearning for community
wildly alive and yet abused and repressed
in each
breathing dreaming struggling hoping despairing
living
human being among us
we are not entertainers
we are liberators
from the assuaging straight jacket of entertainment
we are
for real
we are
lonesome monsters
