An Evening of Spoken Word

Henry Rollins

Friday, 09 Sep 2005 at 8:00 pm – Stephens Auditorium -- FREE ADMISSION

Henry Rollins is a post-punk renaissance man. In addition to making albums with the Rollins Band, he writes books and poetry, performs spoken-word tours, and appears in movies and on television. He has always kept his artistic integrity, becoming a kind of father figure for many alternative bands on the strength of albums like 1992's The End of Silence, 1994's Weight and1997's Come In and Burn. He won a Grammy Award for his spoken word performance.
