Gustafer Yellowgold (as his human-self Taylor Morgan) will be at Good Records this Saturday.
A bright yellow alien named Gustafer Yellowgold returns to Good Records, 1808 Greenville, to entertain children and adults alike. Grammy-nominated songwriter and illustrator Morgan Taylor is the mastermind behind the animated extraterrestrial, slated to perform at noon. There is no charge to attend. If Taylor’s name is familiar, it’s likely because he is a part of the Polyphonic Sprees, particularly their memorable local Christmas show which used to take place at the Lakewood Theater but has since moved downtown.
