Stay downtown after work every third Thursday of the month and check out new sounds curated by local musician and international composer and Pimalia recording artist Larry Marotta.

This month’s Marotta Hour features actor/singer/musician Deb Colvin-Tener.

Colvin-Tener will present a program of songs by German playwright/poet Bertolt Brecht, touching on themes of women’s rights, capitalism, poverty, and war. The evening will include Brecht’s early collaborations with the composer Kurt Weill as well as his work with the leftist composer Hanns Eisler.

Free and open to all. Donations accepted.

This series is part of our after-work programming offered Thursday evenings. Before the show, stop by Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails and ask for the Urban Artists’ Special: It’s very special indeed and it’s only $3.
