Blues for a New Millenium

About Me

3beanstew is the brainchild of Dark Magus (a.k.a. Kwame Brandt-Pierce). The group is an eclectic blend of Tom Waits, Sun Ra, and Funkadellic, with a bent for the theatrical and musical improvisation. 3beanstew has played at several venues including the Paradiso (in Amsterdam), Aaron Davis Hall, and the Nuyorican Poets Café where they held a residency for 3 years. They are currently in their underground lair putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming album, and subconciously fighting the forces of ignorance.
