JUST ADDED - FENCE KITCHEN & DARREN!
FENCE KITCHEN
From 2002 to the present, Tim Harbeson has employed Fence Kitchen as
both alter-ego and vehicle for exploring his interest in multi-
disciplinary solo performance. This perpetual work in progress at
times involves puppetry and ambient setting and lighting with original
music played live and/or as recorded soundtrack, while at other times,
is presented as a purely musical performance. As the music is the
impetus and context for Fence Kitchen— an integral component of the
mesmerizing dreamscape of objects and created environment and an
extractable, stand-alone export of the world it infuses— Beading The
Rook is both a document, and a continuance, of this ongoing flight of
fancy. I edited my profile with

About BJ Snowden
B.J. Snowden is a uniquely talented singer, songwriter and performer
who, with only one independently released album to her credit and a
handful of live appearances limited to the East Coast, has managed to
attract great attention and acquire a following all over the world.
Ms. Snowden’s talent was apparent early on when she began playing the
piano and composing songs at the tender age of three. As her interest
and talent at the piano blossomed, she decided to study music more
intensively at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Snowden
graduated from Berklee with a degree in applied music (performance),
and has earned her living as a school teacher teaching music in school
systems from Boston to Philadelphia. As nightfall beckons however, she
dons a sequined outfit, ascends the stage, and singlehandedly performs
all of the original music that she has composed.
In a strange but true tale that has taken the status of underground
music legend, the staff of a now-defunct East Village record store
“discovered” B.J. when they decided to play one of her demo tapes (an
item that had been lying around the store for years and was destined
for a “bargain bag” of hard-to-move cassettes). The usually jaded
staff was mesmerized by what they heard. They convinced the store’s
owner that this was something so wonderful that the whole world should
hear it. Fred Schneider of the B-52’s, a frequent shopper at the
store, heard B.J.’s music as well, and wholeheartedly endorsed the
idea of a proper release. The album BJ Snowden: Life in the USA and
Canada debuted in the fall of 1996, garnering mentions in The New York
Press, Magnet and other noteworthy publications. B.J.’s music was
frequently featured on Irwin Chusid’s WFMU show, and she quickly
became a listener favorite. Not long after she was a featured guest on
MTV’s Oddville, and could also be seen on Comedy Central’s The Daily
Show.
As a live performer, BJ has appeared at some of New York’s hippest
music spots, including Brownie’s, The Cooler, and CBGB’s Gallery.
