Barbara Golden
"Laughter, sensuality, pleasure, and nonsense are antidotes to the harsh realities the world faces. Fun makes room for reflection, clears the mind for the spiritual repose needed, so that one might deal with one's fellow creatures in harmony and peace to face problems together or at the very least, to drink heavily together."
Multi-disciplinary artist, performer, writer, singer, cook, radio personality, Barbara Golden is known as the Joan Rivers and Mae West of the Bay Area experimental music scene.
Golden writes and performs cabaret songs with WIGband, the trashy girl artband; her films are distributed worldwide by Encyclopedia Britannica. Her videos (including an exercise video) and multimedia installations have been seen in San Francisco, New York, Toronto, Montreal, Budapest, Prague ... Awards have included residencies from the Djerassi Foundation and the Indonesian government.
In addition to her career as a performer and writer, Golden produces and hosts Crack o' Dawn, a contemporary music radio show for Pacifica radio.
