Sufjan Stevens to Perform Solo Acoustic

Matt points out that an odd little show is going down at the Beacon on Wednesday, August 23rd. Billed as "Revenge of the Book Eaters", the show will include appearances by several well-known authors, commentators and musicians, including a stand-up performance by Jon Stewart and the aforementioned solo acoustic performance by Sufjan Stevens.

Ticketmaster descibes the show as:

826NYC and The Bowery Presents present REVENGE OF THE BOOK-EATERS, a star-studded night featuring some of today's most recognized names in indie-rock, literature, and comedy, including SUFJAN STEVENS (in a rare solo acoustic performance), JON STEWART (in an equally-as-rare stand-up performance), DAVE EGGERS (best-selling author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), SARAH VOWELL (best-selling author and This American Life contributor), JOHN HODGMAN (Daily Show regular and author of The Areas of My Expertise) and JOHN RODERICK (songwriter and frontman for The Long Winters) in an evening that promises once and for all to settle the debate: words or music - which is better?
With tickets ranging from $38 to $53, I'm going to have to let you folks debate this one among yourselves. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Thurs. 7/13) at noon.

UPDATE: Brooklyn Vegan reports that David Byrne has been added to the show.
