2012 Featured Performers
CONvergence 2012 is proud to announce the following Featured Performers.
Marian Call
Musical Performance
Mainstage
Thursday July 5th
08:30pm – 09:30pm
Marian Call delivers whimsical Alaskan folk funk for the Coffee Counter-Culture. She sounds a little like Joni Mitchell & Regina Spektor raising the child of Jason Mraz & Erin McKeown. Call’s sound is always soulful, honest, and clever, loved by all types — computer geeks, church ladies, teenage thugs, NPR listeners, and urban hipsters worldwide. She has toured all 50 United States and most of Canada, yet despite her incessant touring stays rooted in Alaska for inspiration. On October 1, 2011, Call released her much-anticipated fan-funded double album Something Fierce.
Jackie Kashian
Comedian
Mainstage
Friday July 6th
07:00pm – 08:00pm
Jackie has been a national touring comic for over 15 years. She has her own half hour special on Comedy Central, was a semi-finalist on Last Comic Standing, and has been on This American Life with Ira Glass. A native of Milwaukee, WI , Jackie discovered her love of stand-up comedy while attending The University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was soon given stage time at a club operated by Bill Kinison (brother of stand-up legend Sam Kinison) five nights a week. Her grades suffered but her comedy flourished.
Her latest CD, “It is Never Going to Be Bread” was one of the top ten comedy albums on Amazon in 2010. She has a weekly podcast, The Dork Forest, where she interviews people about their obsessions.
The LA Weekly: “Jackie Kashian is like the comic next door – if the comic next door is prone to acutely hilarious family stories” (her podcast – The Dork Forest is) “dependably entertaining.”
ABC Australia: “The gem of the night was Jackie Kashian. Her droll, perceptive description of her family was hilarious.”
Minneapolis Star Tribune “[her comedy] is that rare, wonderful combination: smart and funny.”
And from Perth’s newspaper: -The West Australian, called her “whipsmart.”
