The Astronomer will perform a set of new songs and scores to accompany a live reading by acclaimed author Joe Meno (Hairstyles of the Damned, The Boy Detective Fails, Demons In The Spring) of his long-anticipated new novel "The Great Perhaps". Renowned poster artist Jay Ryan (The Bird Machine) and photgrapher Todd Baxter will be projecting visual art based off of Meno's work, making this event a unique multimedia event around the work of one of America's most esteemed contemporary authors.

Canasta opens the night with their "effortless, effervescent pop... carefully constructed layers of intertwining melodies..." - Chicago Sun-Times
