Joe Goodkin is a Chicago-based singer/songwriter and guitarist. He has released 14 albums of original music under the name Paper Arrows and his own name. His has been described variously as “Mutations-era Beck cutting his teeth on the early works of Leonard Cohen” (Parcbench), a “successor to Woody Guthrie” (Indie Voice Blog), and "a tremendous and fearless songwriter” (Anhedonic Headphones). He composed two modern folk opera retellings of Homer’s epic poems the Odyssey and the Iliad (entitled The Blues of Achilles) which he has performed a combined 500 times in all 50 US states and Europe as a guest of such institutions as Harvard, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, and many more.

The potluck is optional, but it is a great chance to connect others in the audience and maybe even share a meal with the artist. It also helps ensure the artist isn't having to have a meal from a gas station. We'll provide the plates, bowls, silverware, napkins, and, if you need it, serving spoons. Feel free to bring anything you'd like--an entrée, appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. Bring something you will enjoy eating, because if you enjoy it, it is likely others will as well.
