Poet Minton Sparks Performs At Red Brick Bistro Tonight On BZoO HomeGrown Radio

ENCORE BROADCAST TONIGHT SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2006

"I'm just captivated by language and Minton Sparks is a poetic master." - Rodney Crowell Grammy Winner

Minton Sparks paints word pictures of the rural South that put you square in the middle of the people and the place she knows like the back of her hand.

Fusing music, poetry and her intoxicating gift for storytelling, wildly original spoken word artist Minton Sparks releases her latest triumph, Open Casket. Her debut live show DVD is yet another ground breaking performance that further proves Sparks is in a category all her own. Sparks peeks over the edge into the warm spot where most would prefer sleeping relatives lie. Open Casket is a raucous, provocative, brilliant one-woman show featuring Minton alongside world-class musicians: guitarist John Jackson, blues pianist Steve Conn, guitar and mandolin virtuoso Pat Flynn and special guest, Irish singing sensation, Maura O'Connell.

Minton Sparks will be the featured performing poet tonight 9:00 PM EST, Saturday September 2, 2006, at the new Red Brick Bistro - the online BZoO Radio Spoken Word Show featuring Spoken Word Poets including, by special permission from the Allen Ginsberg Trust, Allen Ginsberg and Award Winning Spoken Word Poets - Cy Street, Wordfaery, Mickey Cesar, Lisa Martinovic, Janet Kuypers, Belinda Subraman and many others.
