Sounds Like
rust belt blues. San Francisco fog. over-caffeinated sleep-deprived ramblings. modern-day vaudeville. trainyard cabaret. hobo lullabies. Irish drinking songs.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and ghouls, tramps and tricksters and traingels – step right up and get ready to be amazed by Waltzing Matilda the One Beer Prophet (formerly known as J. Wilber and Reverend Jess Duggan) and Cindy Emch (aka Emchy) of Vagabondage and Rhubarb Whiskey as they embark on the Hobo Love Tour!
Waltzing Matilda hails from deep in the heart of the Rust Belt, a melancholy yet ruckus-raising clowngirl if ever there was one! Hear! her squeeze and strum her twisted take on Americana! Listen! to her cut up jackpots, yarns spun about her traveling adventures! Watch! as she makes you laugh and cry with her silly hobo-clown antics!
Emchy comes from the lonesome, fog-drenched port of San Francisco, an accordion-playing beauty beyond compare! Hear! her play songs of hard-drinkin' and hell-raisin' on her accordion! Listen! to her share with you poetry that'll set fire to your soul! Watch! her closely, for she has surprises in store!
That's right, folks – these two talented tattooed ladies are following the harvest moon during the month of September, starting out in Beer City and then following the curve of the big river down to St. Louis and New Orleans. Then, they'll be cutting back east to descend upon Louisville, Kentucky and, of course, the City of Big Shoulders. They'll be spilling drinks and breaking hearts through the rust belt and the south. Whatever you do, don't miss this daring duo! It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you'll never forget!
