FlowPoetry is the originator of Lyrical Jam Poetry; musically inflected spoken word poetry that is performative, sophisticated and gripping.  Primarily solo but at times in collaboration with musicians and at home in genres ranging from spoken word to jazz to blues and jam rock, this is poetry that will entertain, inspire, and provoke the imagination.  With over 1800 shows in the USA with bands and as a solo poet along with close to 100 Midwest and East Coast Music and Arts festival appearances,  FlowPoetry has been honored as a finalist for the MNSWA "Urban Griot" International/National Performer of the year alongside Leonard Cohen and Saul Williams.  In 2014, 2015, and 2016, FlowPoetry was selected as one of Madison (Wisconsin) Magazine's Best Spoken Word/Poetry Performers. He is a three-time finalist for Best Artist in the Annual Madison WI Area Music Awards. He has been awarded two Dane County Arts Grants for his work. He has performed in almost every state in the Union from New York to Florida to California to Texas. FlowPoetry has supported and/or shared the stage with artists ranging from Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic), Steve Kimock, Clyde Stubblefield (James Brown's "Funky Drummer"), to members of seminal jamband moe.   He has published 10 books of poetry and a discography of 33 recordings.
