Regie Gibson
We had an assembly today we saw a man called Regie Gibson perform poems with his band Neon Juju. He has a daughter that goes to Fiske school in Lexington. The band members are a drummer, a guitarist, a Bassist, and a clarinetist/saxophonist.
He performed Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare and The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe. It was very funny because he performed them to hip-hop like music. I liked it a lot.
Here’s a video of him performing a poem with his band.
And here’s an interview Regi did with Christopher Lydon.
Next month we go to see The Mayhem Poets.
