Having worked with the likes of Ani DiFranco, Pete Seeger and even Allen Ginsberg, Chandler’s projects are as versatile as they are cultured. Hell, he even scored a job on Broadway but turned it down in favor of road life. The son of a Baptist minister from Georgia, Chandler is an oddball nomad as well as an active artist-citizen, who many a time has lent his voice and songs to anti-war protests and social justice benefi ts. With festival chops ranging from Lollapalooza to the Vancouver Folk Festival, Chandler’s mix of storytelling, political theater and music is not something to miss when it rolls into town. Also, look to see another acoustic road warrior, Paul Benoit, add his fl are to Chandler’s poetic rabblerousing. The Chris Chandler and Paul Benoit Show is 8:30pm Thursday, May 31, at Cozmic; $5.
