groundcover is a Jersey City performance series that takes the cover seriously. Poets & musicians perform sets of their own work, then spend time with a treasured poem or song or two written by someone else. The artists talk about their poetic lineages. They gush about their favorite music. They tell us how a song changed them and what they then decided to change about it. All artists owe their art in large part to the the artists they love; groundcover explores this live and in a zine of the same name. Curated by Gold Carson Sánchez.
