All times are subject to change but probably won't. Be sure to pick up a schedule the day of the performances for any updates.
Musicians: Please e-mail
gumptionfest@gmail.com if you have any changes or questions about scheduling.
Poets: Not all poet slots are indicated. Poets will fill the space between bands. Sign up with Christopher Fox Graham when you arrive. Once you have your slot(s) get to the venue at least 20 minutes before, as some bands may run short or go long.
Contact the stage MC when you arrive so he or she knows who you are and that you're present. As soon as the band finishes, the host will announce you. Start performing. The previous band will be breaking down behind you and the next band will be setting up.
You are the distraction for the audience, and your mission is to ensure there is no break in the artistic performance, so ignore the distraction and own the stage. The audience would rather hear you than watch techs anyway.

The world seems heavy
Are the Four Horsemen
Hippie rampages.
Let's freeze George Lucas
On Gdańsk, Lvov,
Did the boys my age
As the war began,
Seventy years ago,
