Preview: Going Gonzo for Jim Henson (see more photos in the gallery)
Dave Goelz has been known by many names. The one-time industrial designer worked for Hewlett-Packard, but is most famous as Gonzo. In 1973, Goelz joined the Henson crew - despite lacking any serious background in theatre or puppetry. Speaking with Andrew Hiller, Dave Goelz says it's a fairly anonymous life as a muppeteer- until folks see those characters and hear those voices.
Preview: The world broadcast premier of Stripmall Ballads indie folk opera-- The Perfect Pipe Bomb. Stripmall Balads' Phillips Saylor combines folk, blues, rock, country... 15 foot puppets and all the other ingredients necessary to make "The Perfect Pipe Bomb." The world premier of the opera occured at the Strathmore Arts Center in Bethesda, MD and went SRO. We recorded it live and met up with composer Phillips Saylor at intermission.

There probably aren’t many trails along the Cobblestone path that the Cravin’ Dogs haven’t wandered down. From dives and coffee shops to concert halls and outdoor venues the Dogs’ have played them all… well, a lot of them. Their music is a mix of gonzo folk and rock. I sat in on a rehearsal with them right before their 25th anniversary show at Wolf Trap.
