Authors @ The Ector – Literary Death Match

Tickets: https://events.eventgroove.com/event/Literary-Death-Match-58448 Literary Death Match, co-created by Adrian Todd Zuniga, marries the literary and performative aspects of Def Poetry Jam, rapier-witted quips of American Idol’s judging (without any meanness), and the ridiculousness and hilarity ofDouble Dare. Each episode of this competitive, humor-centric reading series features a thrilling mix of four famous and emerging authors (all representing a literary publication, press or concern — online, in print or live) who perform their most electric writing in seven minutes or less before a lively audience and a panel of three all-star judges. After each pair of readings, the judges — focused on literary merit, performance and intangibles — take turns spouting hilarious, off-the-wall commentary about each story, then select their favorite to advance to the finals. The two finalists then compete in the Literary Death Match finale, which trades in the show’s literary sensibility for an absurd and comical climax to determine who takes home the Literary Death Match crown. It may sound like a circus — and that's half the point. Literary Death Match is passionate about inspecting new and innovative ways to present text off the page, and the most fascinating part about the LDM is how seriously attentive the audience is […]

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid 80s eruption of leather, spandex, and big hair, but this band has never been about those things. Hardly. Their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. TESLA’s latest tour Presented by Live Nation will include a stop at Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center on September 12, 2022, in support of their latest single “Cold Blue Steel.” Known for crowd favorites like, “Modern Day Cowboy,” “Little Suzi,” “Love Song” a hit that made pop Top Ten and made the band stars, pushing their album The Great Radio Controversy into the Top 20 and double-platinum sales figures. 2020 marked the 30th anniversary of one of TESLA’s most iconic albums, Five Man Acoustical Jam. TESLA has endured many of the same taste-changing challenges that affected many in the […]
