C. R. Avery

Home » Artists » C. R. Avery

Not performing in 2012

(B.C./ ON)  Blues, Hip Hop

http://www.cravery.com

C.R. Avery is a hip-hop blues iconoclast: musical guest (Be Good Tanyas, Po Girl), group member (Tons Of Fun University),songwriter (Jolie Holland), playwright, and poet (international slam poetry circuit).

He’s a unique and electrifying performer who simultaneously beatboxes, sings, plays harmonica and a Herbie Hancock ‘80s style red rocket keytar. His latest album, Magic Hour Sailor Songs, is a poetic tour de force that bends and crosses genres, including a string quartet, female choir and innovative jazz & classical musicians.
