Tom Waits' 1976 release SMALL CHANGE Performed Live at FSC

The night will also feature live painting from visual artist John Ross Wilson.

“Small Change is the work Tom has been building up to for his three year career up to this point. This is the breakthrough of Tom’s gruffer vocal delivery, and whether he is crooning over a luscious string orchestra or spouting off one-liners over a bouncy upright bass, he’s definitely found the voice he’s been looking for. There’s a bit of every previous Tom Waits album present here, meaning his impressive work ethic has paid off in helping him achieve the sound he’s desired. Of course, though, this was created in the midst of the busiest portion of his life, so not only was he touring extensively and constantly having late nights, his drinking habit was worsening by the day. “Tom Traubert’s Blues” captures the sorrow feelings of drinking on a lonely night, while a song like “The Piano Has Been Drinking” directly deals with Tom’s alcoholism, yet the lyrics ironically see him neglecting to confront his problems. This is one of the most important albums in the development of Tom’s artistry, on a lyrical and musical level, and again, while I don’t think every song hits the way they do on his debut, it’s clear that this is what Tom Waits’ name was meant to be…for now...
This album was a “small change” for the time being, but in the grand scheme of things, it was a monumental one"
