Songs and Poetry at Grounds and Sounds

In May, the Grounds and Sounds Café presents a very special show pairing singer-songwriter Josh Joffen with poet J. Barrett Wolf for a night of song and poetry.  A two-time winner of the Kerrville New Folk competition for songwriters, Josh Joffen crafts songs that are by turns rousing, funny, poetic and insightful, blending modern and traditional folk and jazz influences in a rich palette of guitar voicings and open tunings.  “Most artists paint pictures with a brush, Josh Joffen paints beautiful pictures with his lyrics and his music.”  Joanne Melosh Dezego, Garden Stage.

J. Barrett Wolf has been a singer-songwriter, a Medal of Valor winning San Francisco police officer, a private investigator, a computer salesman and various other careers, before finding the one where he fits best:  poet.   His first book of poems, "Stark Raving Calm" was published in 2012.

Please join us for a unique evening of music and words.
