This month marks the inaugural event for the Racine Public Library's new "BONK!" performance series. Created to expose the public to both local and nationally recognized artistic talents, the series showcases poets, writers, musicians, filmmakers and all sorts of talents in between. A completely FREE program, this series is located in downtown Racine at the Blueberries restaurant, 418 Sixth Street, which will be offering food and drinks to be purchased at the events.
This month's BONK! event takes place Saturday, October 25th at 6pm and the featured performers include Jessika Mikol of Racine (filmmaker), Lorrie Wilson of Milwaukee (poet), Matt Mulready of Racine (writer) and Brent Mitchell of Kenosha headlining (musician).
Brent Mitchell's albums include "Reciting Whitman to the Cows," "Fallen Angel Palace" and his most recent, self-titled album. A native Texan, he has earned a long list of accomplishments including a Grammy listing for his song "Hand of God." Incorporating blues, jazz, country, Cajun, English and Latvian folk influences (among others), Brent Mitchell's music embodies a style of its own. To hear and watch him perform, visit www.myspace.com/brentmitchellmusic.
Local artists in particular are encouraged to attend this first program, as the BONK! series organizers will be soliciting talents to perform alongside headlining acts in the future. After the performances, there will be a short question and answer session with the artists.
