Meet Kevin Sampsell, Circa Early 90's

Most of you who’ve been around at open mics and the majority of readings worth going to anytime in the last fifteen years will have already heard of Kevin Sampsell, and if you haven’t, this is a good way to make his acquaintance. Just premiered at the Do North Award Ceremony this April, Stephen Kurowski’s short film Kevin Patrick Sampsell: The Spokane Years layers vintage footage of Sampsell from the early 90’s with punk riffs in a latter-day Neil Cassady fashion. Much thanks to Chutz Ponderosa for making this available online, and to Mike Daily for letting us all know about it.  Runtime: 5:15.  ---Nora Robertson
