Harvey Katz, now the lone member of the spoken-word act Athens Boys Choir, is not known for subtlety.
“I just call it like I see it,” Katz says. “And you can’t help but have a sense of humor about the whole ordeal when you’re a Jewish transsexual man from the Deep South.”
True to form, Katz releases his new disc entitled “Bar Mitzvah Superhits of the ‘80s, ‘90s and Today” on Sept. 2 and celebrates with a performance at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur on Sept. 4. Local gay musician Wayne Fishell joins the show, as well as a “surprise guest.”
Katz isn’t saying who it might be, only that the performer’s “status as Mayor of Awesomeville remains true.”
Athens Boys Choir began as a duo out of Athens, Ga. They quickly became a sensation in the queer homo-hop movement in Atlanta and beyond. Katz then became Harvey Katz and went solo, but kept the Athens Boys Choir name.
