Steven J. Athanas is a Toledo institution unto himself. A generation ago, you could find him leading Toledo’s ultimate party band The Homewreckers on stages throughout Northwest Ohio, and when he wasn’t raising hell with music, he was creating mind-blowing art that inhabited a space somewhere between Ralph Steadman and Mad magazine. Athanas also wrote for Toledo City Paper as Arts & Entertainment Editor.
Now living in Virginia, Athanas is back–for one night only–to present his first book “A Time For Burrowing (And Other Like-Minded Scribbles Regarding the Human Condition) at a special release party and reading on Saturday, August 1 at Sylvania’s Hudson Gallery from 5 to 7pm.
Athanas will read excerpts from his surreal new book, as well as perform music in a special reunion with his band The Coosters. Former Lucas County Poet Laureate Joel Lipman will also present a reading at the event.
“I look forward to seeing all my chums at this event and exposing them to another aspect of who I am,” said Athanas.
Hudson Gallery, 5645 Main Street, Sylvania.
