Chopson does private concerts as well — as MASTER CHOPSON (or Master Bastard) and Remember Z — and would love to create a moment at your next gathering/party at your house. Chopson does a mash-up of poetry reading meets DADA-event meets house-concert meets performance art that is extraordinarily unique. He’ll create a simple yet evocative visual scene. He’ll read a handful of his notable poems (one of his four Pushcart Prize nominated poems, plus a few from his new book A Hollow Earth, published by the Anticus Multicultural Association in Constanta, Romania, in 2017) and some others. He’ll play a dirge, with plenty of feedback, striking exactly eight tingly-fuzzy notes! He’ll sing two to four songs and play a postmodern minuet on music box and thumb piano! Chopson will read a small, heart-wrenching piece of prose (maybe, or maybe he’ll do something else that fits the moment). He will distribute pennies that have undergone RE-ENCHANTMENT. This performance is intended to entertain, confound, provoke, and stimulate conversation and creativity. People love it. For finger food, a couple of drinks, and one-hundred-and-one one dollar bills (or any other reasonable offer), Chopson will deliver something truly special for you and your guests. Contact kevinchopson@gmail.com to book this cool little show.
