Reached just before naptime, St. Louis spoken word artist Brett Underwood said, “I don’t know what to expect, so how can you? Josh and I will be having some of the same kind of fun that we had when I followed him on the air all those nights. I have written one new piece for this session already…what’s it called?…oh, ‘The Liar Has a Squirrel’…and hope to write another or three this week. We are both flattered and excited about the opportunity to play Ear Doctors in such a setting.”

This Sunday, from 1-4pm, as CAM is celebrating Misterios de Mayo/Running of the Bulls Family Day Fun Run next door, the Pulitzer and 88.1 KDHX will offer Dream Sounds, the first in a series of music shows inspired by Dreamscapes. Late-night radio veterans Josh Weinstein (also a sound waves veteran) and Brett Underwood will bring you a subtle and surprising array of music and spoken word to enhance your dreamlike experience as you walk through our current exhibition.

Weinstein’s All Soul, No Borders and Underwood’s The No Show graced, amused and opened the ears and minds of KDHX listeners for several years before Underwood left the airwaves to concentrate on the promotion of live music and his own writing and performance. The two are reuniting to offer a jazzy and surreal array gleaned from artists who have composed, improvised and recorded outside the bounds of the mainstream throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

Weinstein trained in Jazz Studies at New York University and under master NYC avant-garde jazz bassist William Parker. He has performed improvisation with Zimbabwe Nkenya, Bobo Shaw and K. Curtis Lyle and the St. Louis groups Human Arts Trio, Melodies of the Kabbalah and May Day Orchestra.

Underwood comes from a free and automatic writing “school of thought”. He has performed with Get Born and Chance Operations. He has been published in Bad Shoe, 52nd City and The Bicycle Review. He will be reading from his own work and that of select Surrealist poets on Sunday.

Following Dream Sounds will be on July 30 and August 13, from 6-9 p.m. Admission is always free.
