West Art Welcomes Joe Jack Talcum with Human Meat Soup

Joe Jack Talcum is a man who needs little introduction. Best known as a founding member and songwriter for Philadelphia punk legends The Dead Milkmen, Talcum has spent decades crafting sharp-witted songs that blend satire, storytelling, and unmistakable punk spirit. His solo performances reveal another side of his songwriting. Armed with little more than an acoustic guitar and his unmistakable voice, he delivers an evening that's equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and thought-provoking. Opening the evening is Human Meat Soup, the brainchild of Lancaster's very own Derek Zanetti.

Both of these creatives have their artwork featured in our Art Bar! Stop by and check out their work in person, and come see them live this fall!
