The Snarlin’ Yarns

It’s not every day you get to open for a bluegrass band whose singers and songwriters (yes, plural) are poets and writers. The lead singer, Abraham Smith, is the Poet Laureate of Ogden. But that’s what’s happening in my life this week. No biggie. My dear friend Sunni Wilkinson and I get to read poetry, then The Snarlin’ Yarns will take it away with banjoes, fiddles, and improv poetry the likes of which you’ve never seen (or heard) before.

So, get yourself on down there and prepare to tap your toes and thump your knees. It’s gonna be fun.
