David Jewell and Brian Cutean combine their many years of elliptical storytelling and feverish brainmindhearts to present an afternoon of music, spoken word, and analogious sonic surprise at Malvern Books.

David Jewell (above left) is poet, storyteller, author, actor and stream of consciousness visionary imagineer who chronicles the 21st century mind and its many idiosyncracies. He and his writing have appeared in two Richard Linklater movies, Before Sunrise and Waking Life, and he’s shared shows with Laurie Anderson and Leon Redbone. His books are time bombs already detonating in another generation and hIs bio says he was “born in blank and lives in and.”

Brian Cutean (above right), a teller of offbeat street-tales filled with wordplay-metafable and songs from a colorful guitar, was a mainstay of Austin music in the 1980’s and 90s. He performed often at The Cactus Café, Chicago House, Maggie Mae’s, The Other Side, Folkville Ice Cream and other long gone venerable venues. Now hailing from the Pacific Northwest, he’s celebrating the release of his 9th nationally-released recording, The Sound Of Photosynthesis, on Burnttoothbrush Records. The record includes a musical version of an ee cummings poem and a song tribute to Austin bassist Robert Vignaud, who accompanied Cutean in concert and on recordings for more than 30 years.
