Southern Writers Onstage presents its first event: The New Agrarians—singer/songwriters Kate Campbell, Pierce Pettis, and Tom Kimmel.
Each has successful songwriting, recording, and performance recordings of their own, but together they form the “The New Agrarians.” The trio’s name is inspired loosely on the Southern Agrarians (also called the Fugitive Poets) including Robert Penn Warren, Allen Tate, and John Crowe Ransom.
Their songs, written from Southern literature and history, are about the south and have southern themes. The southern region’s people and past and present illustrated in literature and music aid our understanding of human relationships, others, and the South itself.
The New Agrarians and humanities scholar Pearl McHaney will engage the audience in a talk back discussion. Southern Writers Onstage is presented in collaboration with Georgia State University’s College of Arts and Sciences, the GSU Foundation, and Theatrical Outfit.
