Ken Little's Artist Rodeo

“It’s sort of like a cabaret act,” says Ken Little of what he calls his “artist rodeo.” Little, who teaches art at UTSA, is well-known for his sculptures (old shoes playing a starring role recently) and his roughly quarterly performances, fond send-ups of country music and performance art. The next artist rodeo is a free offering of performance art and music by artists’ bands starting promptly at 7 p.m. this Saturday at the Cove when Hills Snyder’s group Wolverton begins their set. The band, including Caralyn Snyder, Kate Terrell, and Jeremiah Teutsch, presents acoustic sounds infected by Snyder’s peculiar sense of humor. In a recent show, Snyder, who runs Sala Diaz, took a collection of curios picked up by a curator during a cross-Texas ramble and retraced the road trip in reverse to site each item in its proper place. Also performing are Erik Sanden of Buttercup, Paul Fauerso (artist Joey Fauerso’s father), Gary Sweeney, Chris Sauter, Rick Frederick, Julia Barbosa Landois, and more. Ken Little will play an unplugged version of his underground hit, “Rodeo Ho Ho,” and other favorites.
