Minneapolis based poet and playwright Lisa Brimmer brings together a collaborative group, High Society. The group melds a jazz based, improvisational music style with Brimmer-s voice. For one night only, an episode of High Society will be brought to you featuring Evan Montgomery, Guitar- (Minneapolis, MN- Projects include: Lulu-s Playground, Evan Montgomery Quintet, Jana Nyberg Group) and recent 2012 Drummer of the Year, MAMA Award Winning Paul Kennedy (Madison, WI- Projects include: Sexy Ester, Mulligan Stew).
