FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FORMER HUSKER DU DRUMMER GRANT HART TO SHOW RECENT VISUAL WORK AND PERFORM AT ZONE GALLERY IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

 

KANSAS CITY, MO. -- Grant Hart, who was one of the two song-writing forces of legendary Minneapolis, Minnesota 1980's rockers Husker Du, will show 20 pieces of his recent assemblage at Zone Gallery 415 E. 18th St. Kansas City, Missouri on First Friday, March 2, 2007. The show, entitled GRANT HART: 20 MASTERPIECES OF MODERN ART includes both recent and older collage work with history-specific title appropriation authentic to the early days of the American Punk Rock movement, but not unlike specific Dada influences of the past century. He will also perform a rare solo set towards the close of the viewing.

Grant Hart was a ripe 17 years old in 1979 when he founded Husker Du along with Bob Mould and Greg Norton. The band went on to earn cult status follwed by major label stardom and to this day enjoys genuine respect among rock music historians worldwide. What is less known, however, is that Grant Hart, under a psuedonym, designed all the band's award-winning visual art.

Opening for Grant Hart will be Minneapolis piedmont guitar impresario/roots singer Baby Grant Johnson. Admission for the opening is free. A small donation will be asked for the music perfomances.
