“Mad Storytelling skills and an uncanny ability to sculpt language into ribbons of social relevance.” - Nytheatre.com

Un-embedded and uncensored, hip-hop spoken word artist and radio correspondent Jerry Quickley traveled to Iraq in the days before and during “shock and awe." Quickley went to Baghdad and beyond to cover the pending war for KPFK and the Pacifica Radio Network. He brings that unique insight to Live FromThe Front which combines music, poetry, video and powerful performance style to tell the story of his travels to and ultimate expulsion from Iraq during the conflict.
