celebrating 1 year! iShow @ modernisme

I hope to see you all this weekend at Modernisme's Anniversary Celebration! The iShow: You Are Where. This is really the first event for the fall and is yet another reason to celebrate. Gerald Gregory and I will be performing as a vocal/piano duo again, in a beautiful art gallery, surrounded by edgy, contemporary and accessible art! It's really a neat concept, with 6 of the gallery's 13 artists creating new artwork around a single concept. In a world where everything is compressed to make it more accessible to the masses, how has that shaped our society's identity...and even more so, our own identities? In response to that theme, we as musicians are taking an organic approach. Though we are just "reception musicians" for the evening, from 6pm-9pm by the way, Gerald will be playing a real, acoustic, upright piano and I will be using minimal amplification. It's not the mp3 version you are used to hearing compressed yet again to squeeze out of your laptop's speakers. It's real music by real musicians...with real instruments. :) Again, it's tomorrow, Saturday, September 8th @ Modernisme Gallery. Go HERE for more information...or just come by! 21 Magnolia Road in Avondale, Charleston. There will be an artist round table discussion that begins at 5pm. There really are some incredibly talented artists represented by Modernisme....I hope that you will come out and support the efforts of their creativity, imagination and visual voice. If you cannot make it this weekend, stop by another time...

In addition to this show, the full band will be performing on Sunday out at Palmetto Park for a Picnic sponsored by the Vineyard. It's going to be a lot of fun...it's free...it starts around 2:o0 and goes until about 5pm. It's only $1 to get into the park and then you can just come by and eat, drink and be merry. That will be me, Gerald Gregory on keys, David Linaburg on guitar and Nick Jenkins on drums.

Let's see....in other news...I'll have to write out those thoughts later. For now, let's concentrate on getting to Modernisme Gallery on Saturday! See you then!!! Take care of yourselves and each other!

Paz y Amor Siempre,
Leah
