In the 1980s the team of Peter Cherches and Lee Feldman were favorites on the downtown performance scene, for their songs as well as their stories with soundtracks called "Movies for the Ears." Now, thanks to the miracle of nostalgia, Cherches and Feldman will be reunited for a performance at Bowery Poetry Club for the first time since downtown's golden age.
The event will be a veritable variety show. It will include readings by Cherches and musical performances by Cherches and Feldman.
Peter Cherches will read short fiction and present a staged reading of a series of minimalist plays in progress, "Trio Bagatelles" (assisted by Patti Bradshaw and Tom Ross). Lee Feldman will perform a group of his own songs, and the show will close with Cherches and Feldman performing their song collaborations as well as Cherches's lyrics for the music of Thelonious Monk.
Peter Cherches is the author of
Condensed Book and
Between a Dream and a Cup of Coffee. His fiction and prose poems have been featured in a wide range of periodicals, including
Harper’s, High Times, Transatlantic Review, Fiction International, and
Bomb. He currently writes the food blog Word of Mouth (

Throughout the ‘80s Cherches was active on the downtown performance scene, appearing at such venues as La Mama, The Performing Garage, The Knitting Factory, The Mudd Club and CBGB, solo as well as with musical collaborators Elliott Sharp and Lee Feldman. As a jazz singer he performed his own lyrics for the music of Thelonious Monk at Roulette and The Angry Squire. Cherches’s music can be heard online at:

Evoking platitudes from reviewers such as, "Harry Nilsson meets Fats Waller," and "Randy Newman by way of Lou Reed and Paul Simon,"
Lee Feldman is a singer, pianist and songwriter. His third album, "I've Forgotten Everything" is, according to Stereophile Magazine, "unlike anything else in contemporary pop." Lee is also the creator of STARBOY, an animated musical about a 2-dimensional superhero who lives with his uncle, a Mathematician. He has performed at numerous NYC venues, including Joe's Pub, Fez, P.S. 1, The Knitting Factory and The Bottom Line, as well as on radio stations WNYC, WBAI, WFMU and WFUV (Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight).
