American Splendor! Pekar Fragmented German Tour is Booked

My long-festering project of setting Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor stories premiers November 14 2024 in Cologne and then in spring finds its way to nine more German cities. Pages from the comic books are projected so that the audience can read along as the stories are sung.

Tamara Lukasheva ➤ voice, Shiau-Shiuan Hung ➤ marimba and percussion, Maxime Morel ➤ tuba, Florian Stadler ➤ accordion, Scott Fields (that’s me!) ➤ electric guitar

Support has been provided by Stadt Köln Kultur, Musikfonds, Kunststiftung NRW, Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrehein-Westfalen, and the Barbara Lissner Foundation.
