BIO  Tony Cocuzza

Tony
Cocuzza's degree in Psychology has probably helped him more in his four
years of poetic misadventure than in his 33 years as a Social Worker.
He admits to publishing success in music reviews, for 21 years in the
Reading Eagle and in his current music blog and Amazon.com since 2009.
He will do his best to entertain You, without song, dance, or shadow
pictures. 


This event is sponsored by Berks Bards, with a grant from the PA Partners in the Arts, funded by the PA State Legislature,
and administered by the Berks Arts Council.  Additional support from the Friends of the Berks County Public Libraries, and
from members and volunteers with Berks Bards.  The event is free and open to the public.
