Songs, Stories, & Art: Lessons From Strangers By John John Brown at The Kennett Flash

The Kennett Flash is proud to present Songs, Stories, & Art: Lessons from Strangers by John John Brown
Friday, July 11, 2025$20 advance | $25 day-of-show | $5 BYOB7pm show | 6pm doorsall ages
 
Songs, Stories, & Art: Lessons from Strangers is a multimedia show by John John Brown. This original project weaves together storytelling songs with the visual arts creating an imaginative musical performance woven into a unique visual experience.
This show is the result of a four-year collaborative effort between Brown and an Indonesian artist named Sapri. Despite living across the globe and relying on Google Translate to communicate pages of detailed notes, Sapri created more than 200 vibrant drawings that help portray Brown’s storytelling songs. Bringing these giant comics to the stage, Brown takes the listener inside the lives of fourteen unique characters while strumming his guitar and singing beside a projected graphic story, revealing the idea that all people, strangers alike, have a story we can learn from. The protagonists come from all walks of life, from an aging Vietnam Vet to a trumpet-playing orphan, a married couple debating evolution, to a young man with mental illness wandering the aisles of Walmart. “So well written that every song could be a short story, a treat for lovers of narrative-driven tales.” - Americana UK https://johnjohnbrown.com/songs-stories-art----------------------------------------------...
