We are self-taught artists who create work inspired by healing, nature, travel, and personal experiences. Growing up, art became a way for us to process emotions, express ourselves, and create spaces that felt meaningful and comforting.

The Geoff and Kia Show isn-t your grandmother-s married-couple-musical-duo!

FACT: None of the afore-mentioned hacks offer the Geoff and Kia guarantee: sock puppets at every show. For this performance, Kia Karlen-s Kavalkade of Sockpuppet Artistry will feature scenes from the noir masterpiece Double Indemnity.

Also, Kia and Geoff play improvised music on a variety of instruments, including the vibraphone and Frenched horn, plus the items mentioned above, plus, WHO KNOWS WHAT?

Come and find out, why not. January 28, Mother Fool-s, the Geoff and Kia Show. Six dollar cover. You may not regret it, and as always, NO REFUNDS.

Geoff Brady and Kia Karlen have spent nigh on two decades making music together and unleashing creative mayhem on the Madison community. They currently perform together in Yid Vicious Klezmer Ensemble, Optometri, and Chick Singer Band; and separately in groups including the Madison Symphony Orchestra, Reptile Palace Orchestra, the Allison Margaret Quartet, and the Gomers. Together, they have launched many performative oddities over the years, including Sound Off: The Musical; Millennial Stew; Yammer Summer Guerilla Laundromat Tour; Theremania; The Sensorium; Car-Free Klezmer; The Witching Hour; and Sockrates- Sock Puppet Carnival of Morals and Logic (making a guest appearance at this concert!).
