Buddy Wakefield is back out on the road for his 2011 Gentleman Practice National Tour! The three-time
world champion of spoken word will be bringing his unforgettable performance style to the audiences he
has been cultivating for over 12 years in what Buddy is calling his last "full-on national solo tour" before
getting off the road and "practicing a bit more stillness."

Internationally acclaimed by the likes of Norman Lear, Don Beck, Ani DiFranco, HBO, the BBC, CBC
and NPR, Buddy recently completed Gentleman Practice, his first book in four years (Write Bloody
Publishing, March 2011; available for pre-order at buddywakefield.com). For this book tour, Buddy
decided to go back to basics, doing it much the way he started: driving in his car from venue to venue and organizing all aspects of the tour himself.

“I want to keep things personal this time,” Buddy says, adding that the return to his roots provides him an opportunity to reflect on his decade of life on the road.

Buddy will be rolling through our very own Austin, TX on Thursday, March 10th for a one night only engagement at the Boyd Vance Theatre inside the Carver Museum and Cultural Center.  He'll be supported by some of your favorite poets from the Austin Poetry Slam scene, as well as amazing aerialist group Sky Candy.

Doors at 7pm
Show at 8pm
