Hear the voice of the Heyoke,
Watch them tumble through the fields,
They tell, stories of a land, now turned upside down,
As they’re standing on their head,
I hear laughter in the distance,
As Hekoke starts to cry,
They see, visions of a world, empty of the joy,
We receive from different points
Of view...

WAIL Watchers is one of my favorite projects. The creative dynamic with Nick Benoit and Eric Stuart gives birth to a spontaneous but thematic adventure into the human condition. Joey van Leeuwen
It was so much fun working with these two great saxophonists, Alex Geddes and Rêverend Yogi, in the same group. With Ben Fox and Eric Stuart contributing, we showed the audience the joy of improv. Joey van Leeuwen
