\"\"<\/a>I saw Lawrence Connolly do a one-man performance called “Songs of the Horror Writer” equipped with nothing but a guitar and a microphone.

Michael Arnzen <\/a>made those comments on The Dream People’s Forum <\/a>after catching my Songs of the Horror Writer show a few years ago at Confluence<\/a>. The performance has grown since then, shifting and morphing, never the same twice, and always more fun than a bucket of zombies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 2010, I took\u00a0the show\u00a0to Brighton, performing it at The Royal Albion for Reggie Oliver’s\u00a0<\/a> Phantom Gaslight Music Hall\u00a0(which he presented in association with\u00a0that year’s\u00a0World Horror Convention<\/a>).\u00a0 That was a grand time!<\/p>\n

This weekend I’ll be bringing the show home to Horror Realm <\/a>in Pittsburgh, where I’ll be sharing the bill with former Chiller Theatre host Bill Cardille <\/a>and an diverse assortment of actors, filmmakers, artists, and writers. The weekend\u00a0will also feature musical performances by\u00a0\u00a0singer songwriter Tiffany Apan <\/a>and the band The Devilz in the Detailz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Songs of the Horror Writer goes live on Saturday afternoon, from 1:30-2:30, in the Harrisburg Room of the Crowne Plaza<\/a>, Pittsburgh South. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
