Storytellers and Songsmiths: Rob Kendt & Al Rose


BUY TICKETS HERE!



Galapagos Art Space hosts two literate musical storytellers: Brooklyn-based composer/lyricist Rob Kendt and Chicago-based singer/songwriter Al Rose.

Rob Kendt led the L.A.-based band Millhouse before striking out on his own with the discs I Hope It's Me (2002) and I'm Not Sentimental (2007). In the interim, he relocated to Brooklyn and has written music for such theatrical projects as An Appalachian Twelfth Night, The Devil & Tom Walker, The Strip, and an upcoming musical about B-movie auteur Ed Wood.

Al Rose was co-frontman of the Chicago-based band Buffalo Trout before he formed The Transcendos as the backing band for his prodigious solo songwriting career. Working with gifted co-producer and engineer Blaise Barton, Al has released five acclaimed discs: Information Overload (1994), Naked In A Trailer (1996), Pigeon's Throat (2000), Gravity Of Crow (2003) and My First Posthumous Release (2008).
