the interview show: CR AVERY

CR Avery’s art is like a beautiful car wreck where poetry, song, harmonica and beatboxing are all twisted together into something you want to put into a museum. It has a timeless feel, yet is undeniably in the now.

I had been looking to interview the elusive CR Avery since I saw him perform at the CJSF Anniversary Party, where he opened for Secret Mommy no less. And I was warned that Avery is sometimes hard to track down.

Finally, he found some time to chat. So, we did the interview while he was standing on the sidewalk outside his Commercial Drive home, waiting for his lady’s mother to arrive for a special dinner so he could let her in. Apparently the apartment buzzer was broken, and you can hear him stop to say “hi” to all his people on the Drive as we talk.
