We here at Red Bank oRBit do what we can to create a trustworthy source for timely tips on how and where to spend your discretionary dollars and idle-hour attentions but who do we turn to for recommendations? People like Lorraine Stone and Rock Wilk each of them profiled previously in our pixelated pages, and both of them champions of a young poet and spoken word artist named Tylik TIGGA Railey.
Born in bred in Asbury Park (and heard in venues ranging from The Inkwell to Brookdale Community College to Nuyorican Poets Cafe to national poetry-slam competitions), Tigga (left) has a lot to say about life in the city where his family has made its home for generations and this Thursday, he’ll be saying it at The Showroom in an autobiographical multimedia performance piece entitled Photographic Memory.
Equipped with live musical accompaniment by a talented student of Asbury Park High School and preceded by a special free “warm-up” show the presentation (sponsored by ArtsCAP and rescheduled from this past December) represents the most ambitious move yet for the self-described starving artist of another stripe and we’ve got the “sabertooth trooth” in an exclusive interview with Tigga, ONLY in Red Bank oRBit!
