Eastern Monroe Public Library’s popular BookHouse continues with:
Samuel Saint Thomas & Friends
playing Americana, Folk and Traditional Music
Friday, October 20th at 7:00 PM
Samuel Saint Thomas is a musician, writer, and accidental philosopher. He makes his home in a sylvan Chinese tea house in the mountains near N.Y.C. He inherited the DNA of a jazz pianist and an Irish pub singer from a dusty coal town, who by miraculous events, both became Pentecostal preachers. Growing up in a Pennsylvania steel town that hugged the Mason Dixon line, Samuel traveled with the family Gospel band.
Since 1990, Samuel has collaborated with celebrated musicians — writing, recording, and performing his music in the Northeast. In 2000, he set off in scholarly pursuit of philosophy and creative writing. He now teaches at a suburban college and continues to draft his memoirs of a series of bizarre and humorous stories about being a preacher’s kid growing up with twisted ideas in his little head in the dim light of religion.
In 2012, he launched his Bovine Social Club project, a twangy folk and rock band that has gone on to play prestigious venues from Vermont to Virginia and in 2019 toured their hit show Clap Hands: The Poetry and Song of Tom Waits.
Doors will open at 6:30 PM, and the performance will begin promptly at 7:00. Please plan to arrive prior to the scheduled start time. All BookHouse programs take place in the Edinger Community Room of the Hughes Building, Eastern Monroe Public Library, located at 1002 North 9 th Street (Rt. 611 at Chipperfield Drive), Stroudsburg.
