BEN FOLSTEIN PRESENTS CHURCH OF MAGIC with Charles Papaya

A Hedonihilist Revival in Two Acts

Featuring multimedia artist Ben Folstein, with Feathericci, Jerry Weiner, Pete Van Leeuwen, Dan Gower, Nick Petree and Others. Part rock show, part immersive satirical cultist fantasy, part College of Santa Fe reunion, this promises to be a magical night. Church of Magic is the latest of a (mid) lifetime of productions by multimedia artist Ben Folstein. His films, live shows and radio dramas have been exhibited across the country an internationally. Though deeply influenced by the experimental underground, Folstein is at hear a comedian. As Colin Quinn has stated: “Ben Folstein is funny, but he’s so much more than that. Actually, he’s just funny.” The bill is stacked with a veritable who’s who’s of CSF musicos. Feathericci, local Santa Fe legend, will be featured on Drums, along with legendary local Jerry Weimer on Horns. Plus, ice cream mogul Pete Van Leeuwen and sound designer Dan Gower will be shipped in from Los Angeles to round out the Church of Magic band, also known as the Apostle Lips. Plus Beirut’s Nick Petree Brings some magic along with his band, Charles Papaya!
