Four of the most exciting, innovative and moving performance poets in America have banded together again to tour North America this spring as The Whirlwind Company. Mike McGee, Mindy Nettifee, Jon Sands and Brian S. Ellis are a seasoned cast known for their diverse style, award-winning writing and ability to deliver crushing performances of their work on stage. Together they create what both NYU and the Univeristy of British Columbia have called “the ultimate spoken word event.” The tour begins on Tuesday April 10th Oregon will end up on the East Coast, with a mic of bookstores, universities, theatres, and bars along the way. Keep visiting this website to find details about tour dates and locations and to follow their tour blog as they sweep across the country ruining stiff hairdos, setting fire to still-wintery hearts, shaking sleepy souls awake and inventing a new American poetic weather pattern.
