livewords host and curator Edward Nixon will be reading at the Art Bar Poetry Series’ Poetry Hoedown on Tuesday August 18, 8 pm at Clinton’s, accompanied for the first time ever by his son Lalo Nixon-Pasten on guitar.

The Art Bar will have a Country & Western (both kinds of music) theme.

Edward & Lalo will be doing “poetry + music,” taking a somewhat “serious” approach. Edward will  read glosas based on country sources and Lalo will lay down some appropriate guitar atmosphere.

The balance of the evening will have more musical and comedic content – see this link for details: http://www.artbar.org/index.html.
