POSTPONED: Concert Jules Verne & H.G. Wells

Due to weather conditions, this event has been rescheduled for Friday, August 4, at 7:00 pm.

These two men, Jules Verne & Herbert George (H.G.) Wells, largely thought to be the creators of a new literary genre, Science Fiction, are largely unknown quantities beyond their names and a few of their most well-known imaginative tales. While there is no doubt that they deserve lasting fame for their amazing accomplishments, there were other contributors to what was termed “Scientifiction”. And those select few…who were able to imagine the world we now inhabit and beyond, live on in their stories.

In this new edutainment adventure, singer/songwriter/historian, Barry Cloyd, celebrates the men, the women and the incredible journey into our consciousness of a new form of literature and what it has spawned, both the triumphant and the tragic. Through story & song, some original, some you might remember and some just plain strange, Cloyd brings to life the world created by the minds behind what we now just call Sci-Fi.

Barry Cloyd will bring along some of his unusual instruments and include a few songs for encouraging the audience to step outside gravity’s pull and suspend disbelief. Songs such as “A Space Oddity”, “In The Year 2525”, (BC Originals) “Virtual Stage”, “The Dangers of Star Trek Travel” and more will be teleported into the ether for the audience to enjoy.
