21:00 - 22:00 An Hobbes

For more than a decade Tyler Kreigler aka An Hobbes has been perfecting his skills as an artist of words. Both as a solo artist and a member of Lincoln, NE based hip hop group "The Awkwords", Hobbes has focused on crafting rhymes and stories wrought with socio-political messages, metaphysics, mental imagery and science fiction.

In his latest release, "The Chameleon and The Thief", Hobbes explores the future through the eyes of a noir-style detective caught in an advanced age when civilization is in the middle of a technological transition. With a soundscape produced entirely by K-Murdock, "The Chameleon and The Thief" offers a truly unique audio adventure.

Hobbes has been fortunate enough to perform with artists such as Slick Rick, Del the Funky Homosapien, Aceyalone, Open Mike Eagle, Mega Ran, MC Frontalot, Eyedea and Abilities, Blueprint, YTCracker, Macklemore, and more. Hobbes has also toured with Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox and Sadistik, both inside and outside of the United States.

The Awkwords released their debut album "Left Speaker... Right Speaker..." in 2007. After relocating to Denver with his family in 2011, Hobbes tested the waters as a solo story teller, releasing albums "Diaries of a Space Cadet" in 2012 and the sequel "Diaries of a Space Cadet 2: Electronic Reflections" in 2013.
