The final June IMC folk music series show! (But don't worry there'll
be more shows in upcoming months. Stay tuned for those.)

I can think of no better person to cap off this great June series than
Adam Brodsky. Adam has played more IMC folk shows than any other
touring performer. He's been playing IMC folk shows since shortly
after the IMC opened. We're his favorite venue in Illinois and his
fans come from all over the state to see him in Urbana. 

Adam Brodsky plays anti-folk. Anti-folk is more like Woody Guthries
folk than anything called "folk" that you'll hear. This is stripped
down, raw, gritty folk. This is smart intelligent folk. This is dirty
folk. Adam says things you've probably thought about but were too
embarrased to say. Adam gets in your face and tells it like it is,
with a smile, with a snarl, with a sarcastic twist. 

Adam's shows are incredibly interactive. By the time you leave you'll
know the choruses and punchy in-jokes to several songs. You'll have
laughed. You'll probably have been briefly offended. And then you'll
have laughed some more.

Adam Brodsky is community.

Adam sings about the erosion of our civil rights, the dirtiness of
hippies, how bad his love life is, and how good it is in his
dreams. He sings about love lost and roads traveled. He plays that
mean and nasty harmonica/guitar combo that's made every great folkie
famous. And we keep coming back for it, for reasons none of us
understand.

Adam Brodsky is a fucking genius and a real asshole. And underneath it
all he's the nicest guy I've ever met. He's got great friends all over
the country. A couple of us even drove out to Philly to see his CD
release show last winter. He inspires that kind of craziness.

Adam Brodsky, we're not scared of you. We're coming to your fucking
folk show and we're going to clap!

Opening for Adam will be local award-winning songwriter Darrin Drda,
long time host of IMC's Cabaret. Darrin writes plain spoken songs
about everyday transcendence: love, drugs, numbers, road trips. The
good things in life.

Come to four IMC sponsored folk shows and get your fifth one free.

IMC Shows at the Channing-Murray are all ages, non-smoking, and
non-alcoholic.

This show co-sponsored by WEFT 90.1 FM.
