BOOM! BOOM! WHAMMM! SWOOSH!
For one day only, an all-female motorcycle club the ‘L.O.W Riders’ will ride from San Antonio to Austin to create an urgent, harmonious BOOM! BOOM! WHAMMM! SWOOSH! sound inside an empty parking garage....
The incomparable Joseph Keckler presents an evening of wild miniature operas about contemporary life, haunted torch songs, and narratives infused with humor and longing.
Text and music by Joseph Keckler. Music co-arranged by Dan Bartfield.
“Shatters the conventional boundaries of classical singing… The sensibility of a magician, a trickster’s dark humor and a formidable musical and literary erudition. Major vocal talent.” — Stephen Holden, The New York Times
