ARTISTS:
We have four performers who will be doing mini-sets in two rounds - so nice you hear them all twice! And we'll have a short intermission in the middle for food, stretching, and conversation.

I am a contemporary folksinger/songwriter, performing primarily in L.A.'s southbay area. I am passionate about my songwriting, creating stories containing a mixture of family, a measure of protest, a pinch of love & lust, and a good portion of irreverence. www.myspace.com/kayereznick
