Join us for a reading by Michael Kardos (Before He Finds Her) and music by Bill Taft and Lynn Drury. Hear it live on 92.1 or www.myrebelradio.com. The show is hosted by Jim Dees and our house band, The Yalobushwhackers fronted by the one and only John Paul Keith.
Bill Taft is presented with the generous support of the Sarah Isom Center. Please join us at the Powerhouse after Thacker for a joint event hosted by the Sarah Isom Center and the Southern Foodways Alliance, “Cabbagetown: A Retrospective on Space and Place”.
Author Michael Kardos lives in Starkville, MS and recently won the Mississippi Institute of Arts & Letters Award for fiction. With a music degree from Princeton and a Pushcart Prize for fiction, he seems like the perfect fit for Thacker. “Before He Finds Her” is a stirring novel about love and faith and fear–and how the most important things can become terribly distorted when we cling to them too fiercely.
Bill Taft is an Atlanta musician. He played guitar in the Jody Grind and cornet and banjo in the Opal Foxx quartet and Smoke.
Born in Yazoo City and transplanted to New Orleans, Lynn Drury is Oxford’s kind of musician. Drury’s latest album, Come to My House (2014), is sensation already. Don’t miss this rocking lady on the Thacker stage.
