Saul Williams returns to Atlanta’s Apache Cafe on October 20.

His last visit to the Cafe was amazing, profound, indescribable. I admitted as much in an article I wrote for JIVE magazine back in December. In conclusion, I could only sigh and say, “If you’d only just been there.”

Well, here’s your chance.

Saul Williams is a poet, a musician, an actor and an ambassador for everything potentially life-changing about Hip-Hop. His self-titled second album arrived in September of 2004 and features everything from beat-driven reveries to straight-ahead punk. This week, Saul is leaving the drums and guitars for another day, bringing only himself to the mic for an evening of spoken word.

And really, that’s all he needs.
