A reformed child actor from South Carolina, Logan K. Young grew up playing in, writing for and de facto leading power trios, opera pits, the dais at Medieval Times and multiple Rocky Horror tribute tours. While at the Governor’s School for and the University of his home state, he focused on trumpet, composition and conducting—summering at festivals such as Brevard, Tanglewood and Bang on a Can. Later studies include coursework with the late German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen and Thurston Moore at Naropa’s Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. Author of chapbooks, liner notes and song lyrics, Young’s work has been published everywhere from NPR to the Baltimore Sun, Industrial Worker to Lambda Literary, UPenn’s Jacket2 to 3:AM and anthologized as far flung as That Devil Music: Best Rock Writing (Excitable Press), An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting (Uitgeverij), AT&T’s On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and Library of the Printed Web, Vol. 3. Meanwhile, his books on Mauricio Kagel and La Monte Young can be found only in the most discerning of discount bins. (Logan’s been written about, too, in the Guardian, Bookforum and the Poetry Foundation’s “Harriet” blog.) Recent exhibitions include shows at Sediment Arts (Richmond, VA), Labor (Mexico City), Den Frie (Copenhagen) and Brooklyn Art Library. Young has won an Annenberg/Getty Fellowship to that other USC, shared a Bessie, been nominated for a Pushcart and shortlisted for the Best Album Notes Grammy. He lives just outside Suffragette City, in Washington’s harDCore suburbs.
