Poet and storyteller Chris Chandler is as hilarious and entertaining as
he is provocative and rabble-rousing, delivering vignettes about
politics and modern culture with the fire of a Baptist Preacher. His
appearances are insightful tales of a world gone slightly mad,
accompanied by a wide variety of musical styles. He has performed on
thousands of stages across North America, working with such legendary
figures as Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Mojo Nixon and Ani DiFranco.
The late great Utah Phillips called Chris "the best performance poet I have ever seen."
