Timeline
Marvin Tate (born 1959) is an American artist, poet, and singer-songwriter from Chicago.
Tate was born in the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago in 1959.
Tate attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, studying with Sterling Plumpp.
In the mid-1980s, Tate started performing at open mics and slam poetry competitions around the city, and was a regular participant in the Uptown Poetry Slam.
In 1983 Tate moved to New York City, moving back to Chicago in 1985.
Tate lives and works in Chicago, IL.
In 1990, Tate became Chicago's poetry slam champion, after which he was featured on the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour.
In the early 1990s Tate was a member of Uptighty, with Leroy Bach (Wilco) and Dan Bitney (Tortoise), and hosted a local talk show called Talk-A-Riot-Y.
Tate fronted the experimental poetry/funk band D-Settlement from the 1990s to early 2000s, which released three albums from 1997 to 2002 as Marvin Tate's D-Settlement.
The Chicago Tribune wrote: "By merging ferociously honest poetry with various black musical traditions, Tate stands as heir to Chicagoan Oscar Brown Jr.., the veteran urban griot whose lyrics long have decried racism and social injustice."
Tate is the author of Schoolyard of Broken Dreams (Tia Chucha Press, 1994) and The Amazing Mister Orange (Curbside Splendor, 2014).
His honors include grants from the Poetry Foundation and the Illinois Arts Council.
Tate won a poetry slam hosted as part of Lollapalooza 1994.
In 2005, Tate performed the poem "My Life to the Present" on Def Jam Poetry.
In 2017, the Jazz Institute of Chicago invited Tate to perform Langston Hughes' poem "Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz."
Tate adapted it into "A Great Day in the Neighborhood — Echoes of Langston Hughes," incorporating film, dance, and jazz instrumentals from Greg Ward and Ben LaMar Gay.
Tate is represented by Hana Pietri Gallery in Chicago, IL.
In 2019, Intuit: The Center for Outsider Art presented an exhibition of Tate's artwork, Looking at You From a Distance Not Too Far: Work by Marvin Tate.
Tate's influences include Amiri Baraka, Gwendolyn Brooks, Charles Bukowski, Ivor Cutler, Stephen Dobyns, doo-wop, gospel, and the blues.
The Chicago Tribune notes of Tate's writing: "Though it's often funny or absurd, the work's most striking aspect is the calm sense of melancholy consistent in every piece..."
