Thorne Dreyer was the original editor of pioneering underground paper, The Rag in Austin, a founding editor of Space City! In Houston, and an editor of Liberation News Service in New York City. He is editor of The Rag Blog and is host and producer of Rag Radio on KOOP 91.7-FM in Austin. His last book, Making Waves, was a selection of the Texas Book Festival.

Notes From the Underground: 77 Articles that Bring the Past to Life is a collection of author Thorne Dreyer’s writing from 1966 to the present. The articles demonstrate the power of participatory journalism. Dreyer’s later writing reflects on the cultural and political upheaval of earlier decades and sheds light on contemporary issues.

In this session, on the indoor stage, award-winning author Tom Zigal (Many Rivers to Cross) will discuss Notes From the Underground with Dreyer and the gathering at Batch.

All are welcome to join us.

Formed by Austin drummer Kevin Witt, who studied in NYC with veteran timekeepers, Jimmy Cobb, Cindy Blackman and Peter Retzlaff, B-Side is group so dedicated to the classic hard bop ethos they prefer to dig into the second sides of great albums, rather than stick with the traditional standards. Expect Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and their peers, but not necessarily the songs you expect. Song selections will be wrapped in historical context through narratives, spoken word and samples
