American War — Untitled

Matt playing a new jam at his tour kickoff show at Monster House yesterday.  DOOD.

Alice Beecher wrote a positive and kind review of a reading Ryan J. & I gave in Oberlin on November 10th at the Black River Cafe.  

And to end, one I hold dear—Matt slowly falling asleep as each photo is taken.

I am reading poems with Ryan J. from Assuming Size and Matt Scheuermann is playing some songs in Oberlin on Wednesday and another guy named Matt from Oberlin is playing songs, too—

November 10th in Oberlin, Ohio at Black River Cafe (15 South Main Street), 9:30 PM.  Readings from Richard Wehrenberg, Jr., and Ryan J.  Music from American War.

Shout Out Loud Prints releases American War’s first full length Rhetoric on vinyl (available now for pre-order via the link above).
