Some Birds Walk For The Hell Of It by C R  Avery - Anvil Press (2)Early in the Festival week, unwind with a late dinner and performances by C.R. Avery, with opening acts by different Wordfest artists each night and burlesque dancers as part of the show!

Avery has performed extensively throughout North America and Europe as a beat-box poet, punk piano player and outlaw harmonica player of hip-hop with his rock & roll band the Boomchasers or fronting the indescribable LegalTender String Quartet.

A musician and young writer whose stylings are impossible to pigeonhole, C.R. Avery is never afraid to experiment. As CBC radio once described the experience, “when he hits the stage, look out!”

Sheri-D Wilson performs delectable samplings of spoken word.
