Album Release for Song of the Bricoleur
Rags Rosenberg with Taylor Safina
Thu August 7th, 7-9pm, doors 6:30, $20adv/$25 door
“Bricoleur” is the French term that refers to someone who patches together what they can with what they have on hand and creates something new from the parts and pieces of what is broken or no longer useful. I think that’s what we are all doing, both personally and in the culture as a whole. In fact, it could be said that we’ve been doing that in the modern world ever since the 1790’s when people decided they could “invent” a new form of government. So, “bricoleur” can have a pretty expansive meaning. All that to say, I feel this is an important idea to popularize right now – that we have agency and are, as my song says, “making it up as we go.”
Rags Rosenberg writes Mythopoetic Folk-Rock in the tradition of the songwriter-poets he admires: Cohen, Dylan and Waits to name a few.
