Sheldon Concert Hall Presents Pokey Lafarge and the South City Three 12/17
by BWW News Desk - December 17, 2010
In 2009, Pokey LaFarge began working with The South City Three, a trio made up of fellow St. Louis musicians Joey Glynn, Adam Hoskins and Ryan Koenig. With their uniquely retro sound, featuring parlor guitar, guitjo (a guitartuned six-string banjo), kazoo and harmonica, LaFarge and the South City Three draw inspiration from LaFarge's travels around the country and early American roots music. Often compared to troubadours such as Blind Blake, Dan Hicks and Leon Redbone, LaFarge has charmed audiences from St. Louis to the Newport Folk Festival with a mix of jazz, blues, ragtime, old-time folk and swing - all performed with a modern twist!

BWW Review: Echo Theatre Company's Quirky Production of CRUMBLE
by Chris Gibson - December 06, 2010
Echo Theatre Company, who continually push the envelope by presenting fresh and daring plays and musicals as part of their theatrical mission, offer up the St. Louis premiere of playwright Sheila Callaghan's wacky and surreal work CRUMBLE (Lay Me Down, Justin Timberlake) for your holiday season perusal, and it's a tasty morsel. This is a truly odd, but engaging play that confounds expectations and, in its own weird little way, provides its characters with a way to reconcile their feelings and get over their grief. While not your typical holiday offering, CRUMBLE is certainly worthy of your attention, particularly if you like things that are quirky and offbeat.
