Under new ownership, Basilica Hudson kicks off the new season with this special event: An evening reading of renowned novelist and screenwriter, Rudy Wurlitzer’s 1984 novel Slow Fade by singer songwriter, folk music legend, Will Oldham (Palace Brothers, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy). This event supports the release of Slow Fade, the first in a new line of alternative audio books, by Chicago’s seminal independent record label, Drag City. Both Wurlitzer and Oldham will participate in this unique literary event. The reading will be accompanied by guitar player Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) and with photographic projections by acclaimed photographer Lynn Davis. Connecticut based artist Elisa Ambrogio, of noise rock band Magik Markers, will open the evening with her own reading.
