BARDS, BOOTS, AND BREWS: An Evening of Literary Magic

  • Native Hostel and Bar & Kitchen 807 East 4th Street Austin, TX 78702 USA (map)

Yee-haw, y'all! It's the triumphant return of the Gentleman Bosses: Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz! Anis Mojgani! & Derrick Brown! 

This trio of award-winning, internationally-touring, and genre-busting raconteurs hasn't hit an Austin stage together in over five years! So come on out as they bring their well-loved poems, stories, and vulnerable lightning to their old hometown! Or else live with the regret as they disappear for another half-decade, like weirdo offbeat locuses. 

Show at 8pm
Tickets $5 Get em here

“If you aren't familiar with Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, then you are doing a serious disservice to your sensibilities. Aptowicz has made herself vulnerable so that her audience can be transformed by them as she has.” – Hothouse Magazine

"Anis Mojgani is a trickster and a philosopher, a theologian and a rock star." – Luis Urrea, Pulitzer Prize Finalist &author of The Devil's Highway

“There’s something that happens when you read Derrick Brown, a rekindling of faith in the weird, hilarious, shocking, beautiful power of words. … when you have the fantastic fortune to watch him perform it in person, you yourself are a bit more alive." – Joel Lovell, The New York Times
