If you love the good fight, if you love the earth -- and if you find your tongue occasionally stuck in your cheek -- then hold on and enjoy the ride as Berkeley singer-songwriter Marcus O'Realius treats the Freight to a night of incisive original music, joined by seasoned percussionist Joyce Steinlauf. Both recipients of organ transplants, Marcus and Joyce understand deeply the importance of staying involved with what you love the most, in this case music: tonight they share with us Marcus' wry pastiches of contemporary culture (featuring songs from his latest album, Just Another Day), joined by bass ace Cindy Browne and John Groves on keyboards.

Over the past three decades, Marcus has produced a distinctive body of work which identifies him as one of society's more irreverent watchdogs, including hundreds of songs, instrumentals, several albums, a full-length musical, and a Berkeley Film Festival Award-winning music video entitled The Car Song. Combining a satirical perspective with poignant sketches of a world gone amok, Marcus and his group present a memorable combination of music that rocks the soul and fresh, playful lyrics that tickle the funnybone and provoke reflection.
