Kevin Johansen and Liniers – The Show Chicago Debut
Music, humor and the graphic arts join forces in a unique spectacle from singer-songwriter Kevin Johansen and cartoonist and graphic designer Liniers (Ricardo Siri). In this audio-visual experience making its Chicago debut, Johansen takes audiences on a musical journey through his career as Liniers draws images inspired by the songs as Johansen performs them. You never know what will come out of Liniers mind and into the screen onstage. The show’s roots can be traced back to 2008 when Johansen released OOPS!, a collection of his lyrics, photos, interviews and even a comic, all illustrated by Liniers. The book itself produced a tour and a DVD shot in Buenos Aires. A second book, BIS, and DVD shot in Mexico City featured such guest stars as Natalia Lafourcade and Café Tacvba’s Rubén Albarrán.
