JoAnn Riedl, who plays dirty rock guitar in dirty Milwaukee.
Norman Cristofoli, who spits poems and organizes artists in Toronto.
Cindy Emch, who spins words, records, and queer open mics in SF.
and Idiolexicon's own Patrick Duggan, who lifts large objects and throws down large words in SF.
Hosted by Elliot Harmon, who writes reductive one-sentence summaries of people's livelihoods.
JoAnn Riedl’s deep, aggressive vocals and percussive, dirty, rock-guitar style hail from Milwaukee. "Her ability to switch from acoustic to electric in an intimate solo setting, along with her raucous, almost punk, approach, has set her apart from her peers with reckless abandon," according to Brian Barney and David Luhrssen of the Milwaukee WI Shepherd Express. Playing live since 1998, Riedl has performed solo, with the backing bands Kicked Out Scout, the Relief, and is a front woman for the Barrettes. She is working on her third full-length album. JoAnn has performed in Canada, Ireland and throughout the US.
Norman Cristofoli is a poet and spoken-word performer and publisher of the Labour of Love literary magazine. He is also the co-founder of the Coffeehouse website for independent artists. However, if all the world is a stage, then he prefers to stay in the tattered old balcony seats, hiding in the shadows, away from the spotlight. He believes that too much emphasis is placed upon the artist, whereas the only thing that truly matters is the art itself. Bios should be buried with the artist... let the art live on.
Cindy Emch is a San Francisco writer who swirls together the wholesome and the wicked. She is a poet, performer, DJ, curator, and all around community building hell raiser who wants to rock your socks off. She has published five chapbooks, has written for a variety of film and pop culture mags, has been published in Lodestar Quarterly and has work in the upcoming "t's So You: 35 Women on Fashion, Beauty and Personal Style." edited by Michelle Tea and Tough Girls 2: More Down and Dirty Dyke Erotica" edited by Lori Selke. She has featured up and down the California Coast and is very proud to have founded the Queer Open Mic in San Francisco which makes its home at the Three Dollar Bill Cafe.
Patrick Duggan is part Surrealist, part New York, but not really either. A recent graduate of CCA's MFA writing program, he's been featured in numerous journals, anthologies, and readings throughout the Bay Area. He co-edits the web journal Idiolexicon and works in a warehouse.
Starts at 7:30 PM sharp. Don't show up late.
