PARKSVILLE, NY — There will be an afternoon of poetry and music with Barry Wallenstein and Steve Carlin on Sunday, August 23 at the Dead End Cafe. The show starts at 3 p.m.; dinner is served at 5 p.m. The cost is $25 for show and dinner, $10 for show only.

Wallenstein is the author of eight collections of poetry. A special interest is his presentation of poetry readings in collaboration with jazz. Composer/guitarist Carlin writes passionate compositions, melodies and rhythmic pulses. He has worked in 17-piece orchestras, quartets, trios, duos and as a soloist. He was the host and producer of “Rhythm Changes” on WJFF and a frequent guest on “Live From Studio B.”

Wallenstein and Carlin can be heard together on the CD “Euphoria Ripens,” which was listed among the “Best New Releases” in the journal All About Jazz (December 2008).
