Rushad Eggleston, a.k.a. Rushadicus, is a mystical realm-hopping jester of infinite glee, whose unprecedented extremely fast bouncy cello style blows minds of all kinds. A charming entertainer with unbridled passion, his joy is so contagious that many showgoers complain of sore facial muscles afterwards (the name Rushad means “joyful soul”).

UNDER OUR FEET: HELP US BUILD A COMMUNITY PARADE
 

Under Our Feet is a series of parade puppet making sessions at Black Cherry Puppet Theater that will culminate in a parade at the Sowebo Arts Festival on Sunday, May 29, 2022! The parade takes inspiration from the living systems that exist, out of sight, under layers of concrete in the city. Ancient rivers and creeks flow, diverted through sewers and culverts. A diversity of organisms thrive in layers of earth, doing their age-old work of building soil. Dirk Joseph, Valeska Populoh and Michael Lamason are the three artists leading the build and are supported with a small faculty grant from MICA. All work sessions will take place at Black Cherry Puppet Theater at 1115 Hollins Street in Baltimore!

We, Underworld Orchard, have gathered works of writers whose words we sing in our folk trance way.. Gertrude Stein's repetitions, Moon Dog's couplets, James Agees personified gardens, Homer's watery descriptions.
 
We began to sing together some years ago, just after meeting. We would talk and talk and sing and sing, no structure, no words in our singing and though we were cultures apart, generations apart, we had an ancient vocal connection. Steve now makes a sparkling sonic world where we wind our voices among his bell like tones.
 
A description of our 2020 recording, from Steve Johnson of 20/20 records, "crepuscular, waxing/waning, magic hour old-weird-America, the edge of folklore as modernism began to creep in, fables from before they laid down the grid.."
