Sid Yiddish

Bio:

In the great error came the great vision. It wasn’t the first time this occurred, but it would take a near-miss foot stomping by Sid Yiddish to realize the harmony that could be shared between other equally talented bugs & insects. In the end, awareness became the key to near stupidity, indeed. Even though I'm what most would categorically call me a multi-disciplinary performance artist, primarily, it boils down to punk-poet, throat singer, street performer & performance artist, who can work with the lowest common denominator or the highest paid Joe in the world and still come up stinking like a rose. I've opened for the PeckerGnats & Johnny Lowebowe & have performed alongside Adeptive Radiation, MaximumRocknRoll columnist Mykel Board, performance artist Vitawrapmand (Denmark), performance artist Estrid Balslev (Denmark), Clean Boys (Denmark), Italian sound artist Alessandro Bosetti (Berlin), Flabby Hoffman Trio, Dan Godston, Ono, as well as countless other bands, poets, film-makers & spoken wordists. My work encompasses every single genre that is either known or not known and I mix it all together into one tasty bite-size caramel, creating one fantastic eargasm of sound & word explosion. Here's what Sid's peers & contemporaries have said about him... “You’re (Sid Yiddish is) a poetic fool”---Allen Ginsberg, poet “Sid Yiddish is one of my only living punk-poet mentors”---Wes Heine, singer for Cousin Bones, “Sid Yiddish is one of the most dedicated, prolific writers I know. Sid Yiddish is Chicago's best poet.”---Lew Brickhate, founder Pootly Nautch "Sid Yiddish sounds like Kurt Schwitters hopped up on pineapple Benadryl"---Johnny Glucose, reviewer, Indy.com “Yahweh has infused Sid Yiddish with the spirit of Allen Ginsberg, the eclecticism of Leonardo DaVinci and the magic of Houdini. You're lucky you stumbled onto him”---Mykel Board, columnist Maximum RocknRoll "Sid Yiddish is a YouTube moment waiting to happen." ---Don Evans, author "You (Sid Yiddish) make Andy Kaufman look like Jack Benny." ---Rick Kogan WGN Radio
