While they only played one show together in 1994, when Townes Van Zandt died he left David Broza with a collection of his poetry to put to music. After years of work, Broza released Night Dawn: The Unpublished Poetry of Townes Van Zandt, which he will be performing songs from at his upcoming performance at LPR.
