This class is limited to 20 students and is $15 in Advance
$20 at the door 
if paid at the door at the Safety Harbor Art and Music Center by noon on the day of class.
Taught by Laura Kepner 

Personal History writer Laura Kepner, co-author of A Brief History of Safety Harbor, Florida, will work with you on key elements of memoir writing. You don’t have to be famous to write an interesting life story! Laura will focus on how to begin, continue and finish this sometimes daunting project. She will offer insight into the vulnerability of writing honestly about your personal experiences so your fears don’t get in your way through the process.

Languid guitar chords give way to Tessmer’s gloomy assessment of his past life: “Seems like every day’s the same/ I want everything but me to change/ I don’t want to be the way I am.” Tessmer finally finished the song and achieved his sonic vision with the help of multiplatinum producer Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson). “Good So Bad” is a radical departure from the guitarist’s earliest recordings­­bone­dry live performances showcasing the six­string wizardry that first earned him attention when he crash­landed in Austin 15 years ago. Tessmer still flexes his furious fretwork on “Good So Bad,” but the song’s slinky hooks come from a different instrument: his voice. “Sean got the best vocal performances because he was like, ‘Don’t do anything to your voice; just relax and sing the song,” Tessmer says. The starkly confessional tone of “Good So Bad” also shows how far he’s come as a lyricist. “It got me thinking about being the elephant in the room,” Tessmer says. “Oh gosh, why am I always drunk all the time? I’m just a musician. That’s just what we do. But no, it’s not, really.” The mournful, stuck­in­a­rut Tessmer of “Good So Bad’ is far removed from the real­life Tessmer, whose sobriety lent him a newfound clarity while writing. “I wasn’t hiding behind anything.” Life hurts, sure, but sometimes it does work out­­ as long as you’re willing to show up and put in the work to get the results. Eric Tessmer wanted to be good so bad. This is his journey.

"A wonderful artist…hugely talented. The reaction to her music on my shows has been fantastic” BOB HARRIS, BBC RADIO 2
"Her extraordinary voice truly sets the music apart…nothing short of stunning" NO DEPRESSION MAGAZINE
“A voice the whole world needs to hear” SHAWN MULLINS
“[Callaghan is] changing the shape touring, if not music consumption entirely” BILLBOARD MAGAZINE

Originally from the UK, Callaghan moved to the USA in 2010 to tour and record with Grammy-nominated US artist Shawn Mullins. Since then she’s become a headliner in multiple cities across the US and UK. Playing piano and guitar Callaghan delivers a stunning vocal which earns frequent comparisons with artists like Sarah McLachlan and Emmylou Harris. Her songwriting chronicles the stories, experiences and emotions which are part of everyone’s lives.
After spending 4 years in Nashville recording her second studio album A History Of Now, the latest chapter of Callaghan's journey has taken her to LA to record self-titled album Callaghan to be released August 31st.
The new recordings are a collaboration with producers Starr Parodi and Jeff Eden Fair (James Bond, Heart of Frida, Harry Potter, Mission Impossible) and Anthony Resta (Elton John, Duran Duran, Blondie).

Performance art Painter from Japan
What do you get when you mix together one large canvas, bottles of paint, music with throbbing beats, street dance, and caricature drawings?
The resulting performance defies all definitions so we have no other choice but to call it “Colorhythm”. Coming to the HYPER Theatre stage this summer, it is the brainchild of “Colorhythm Risa”, a talented Japanese artist.
Watch seemingly random lines of paint take form and come to life before your very eyes on a 3 meter-long, superlarge canvas as Risa whirls around the stage, effortlessly pulling off fluid street-dance moves while painting. She’ll also be doing some caricatures while she’s at it, so raise your hand!
Colorhythm Risa began her art-dance performances in 2012 – first as part of a group then later on as a solo act. Her performances, both in name and in style, are a portmanteau of “colour” and “rhythm” and have won her accolades and even an award at a 2014 art competition. Her HYPER JAPAN Festival 2016 performances will mark her UK debut.

Doors 7pm/ Show 730pm
$35 in Advance/$40 at door(if available)

You know the band, you know the songs and we all know it’ll be party time when NRBQ appears on our stage - hot on the heels of the just-released Happy Talk EP. 
You might think that after 50 years, a band would want to settle down and just relax. If you do, you don’t know the Q! 
“NRBQ remains impressively vibrant and cheerfully committed, and indeed embody the idea that rock 'n' roll can be a fountain of youth.” —New London Day 
In 2016, NRBQ’s 5-disc, 50-year retrospective High Noon landed on Top Picks lists in Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Goldmine, and more. 
Fifty years of celebrating is worth celebrating! Come celebrate with us.
NRBQ is Terry Adams, Scott Ligon, Casey McDonough, and John Perrin. “NRBQ” stands for New Rhythm and Blues Quartet. The band’s music, a rollicking blend of everything from stomping rockabilly to Beatles-influenced pop to Thelonious Monk-inspired jazz.

EDIE CAREY opens for Gareth Asher
Colorado-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on – and off – stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend.Carey has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the US, Canada and Europe since 1999, performing alongside Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, and Shawn Colvin. She’s also been a featured artist on PRI’s Mountain Stage. She's appeared at the country's most prestigious folk festivals including Telluride Bluegrass, Rocky Mountain Folks, Newport Folk, 30A Songwriters, and Cayamo. Her songs have been covered by Shawn Mullins and country star Chely Wright. She released her 9th album, "Paper Rings: 8 love stories," in February 2016. Her prior release, a duo lullabies project with Sarah Sample, garnered several children's music awards, including Best Children’s Album in the 2015 Independent Music Awards. 
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: “Carey...found her true calling in music. Her pop-folk songs are smart tales of love, life and longing." 
CREATIVE LOAFING: “Carey is a wonderfully expressive singer-songwriter who deftly balances wrenching musical vignettes with engaging stories and a friendly vibe.

$15 in adv   $20 at the door
Promoting new album “Defend the Flame”
With lyricism reflecting and celebrating the inner struggles we face through life’s smiles and tears, “Defend the Flame” reminds us to accept and release the emotions that can often feel insurmountable within us. This message is one that has no doubt been felt throughout much of his previous music, but with this album, Gareth lays himself bare in a way that he has not shared before. The honesty in the tone of these new and precious songs is one that will leave you feeling more connected to the self and perhaps a little lighter with the knowledge that you are not alone.
 Welcoming Gareth Asher back to the harbor!  #SongFestFamily... he played 1st and 2nd years

KLIMCHAK 
 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3,2019
 2PM TALK BEGINS
FOLLOWED BY A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE BY KLIMCHAK

Klimchak is a composer known for his use of electronics & homebuilt instruments. His work has been seen in dance, theater & solo performances around the world. In 2011, he was given a grant by Idea Capital to make a series of compositions for home-built percussion instruments with lights incorporated in them. They were performed in 2012/2013 as flash percussion performances, titled Klimchak’s Lebeato Lounge. In March, 2015, Klimchak premiered his solo show, CooksNotes, in which he makes music on kitchen implements while cooking dinner for the audience.

Klimchak regularly performs solo shows featuring the Don Buchla designed Marimba Lumina. Only about 100 of this very rare instrument were made. With the Marimba Lumina the percussionist is able to perform live music that would normally take at least 4 musicians. His multi-instrumental compositions are played with 4 separate mallets, six foot pedals and a breath controller. As added touches, his sets usually include 4 or 5 small percussion instruments, some chanting or tuvan throat singing and at least one solo on the theremin.

THE MUSICIANS

The Mystic Voices 
​
- Laura Stack and Gloria Rice - are an acoustic folk duo with a knack for sweet & soulful vocal harmonies. Their voices blend with acoustic guitar and various percussion instruments to create and perform spiritual and heart-filled music. Their acoustic folk duo performs locally and internationally. Some of their recent performances include playing and presenting for the 43rd Annual SSF-IIIHS International Conference: Living the Divine Potential in Montreal, Canada in addition to playing for Spirit Fest at Camp Chesterfield in Indiana and The Jamboree Womyn’s Music Festival in Wimauma, Florida. They also conduct a monthly full moon sound healing at YogaLove studio right here in Safety Harbor. In addition, The Mystic Voices perform for weddings, memorial services and special events. Safety Harbor’s 3rd Friday and the St. Petersburg ArtWalk are some of their favorites.

The Mystic Voices make up the fruit of varying backgrounds and unique talents. Laura Stack has her background in music education and taught music in public schools for 13 years while receiving her Masters in Music Education and traveling as a national presenter. Laura has always been a life-long performer and her favorite role was playing Roxie in Chicago. Her first showcase as a songwriter was during her time as a Butler University undergraduate for their Fall Concert Series. Her songwriting passion and abilities have only continued to grow and become more and more aligned with her life’s purpose. 

Bringing her own flare to the duo, Gloria Rice has her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, performed as an Orlando Opera Studio Artist and soloist with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. Gloria lived and performed in New York for almost a decade and graced the stage with artists such as Lorna Luft and Lillias White. She also played the role of Eva Peron in Eight O’Clock Theatre’s production of Evita. 

Last year, Laura and Gloria came together as The Mystic Voices to share love and light in the world through music. It has been a wonderful adventure ever since! Their folky style, beautiful harmonies, and inspiring lyrics are a breath of fresh air to audiences. Hearing The Mystic Voices will likely make your heart smile!

Inside a Redwood tree off the coast of California; within a tunnel by Snoqualmie Pass; on an airstrip in Marble, Colorado; in a wild daisy field near Crested Butte—these are just a few of the places Los Angeles trio, Magic Giant, recorded its debut album, aptly titled, In the Wind.
Bio: 

Coming off of a blazing set at Coachella, with Billboard singling them out as one of “10 Awesome Bands” playing this year’s massive fest, and LA Weekly calling them “Cool as Folk,” LA-based MAGIC GIANT has been thrilling growing crowds at every stop along its 70-city North American and European tour, celebrating the release of its debut album In The Wind (Concord Records) and its acoustic album counterpart.
With appearances on the Today Show and in Rolling Stone as one of “10 Artists You Need to Know,” the group has toured with acts ranging from The Revivalists to Mike Posner; played shows with bands such as The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, X Ambassadors, Vance Joy, and Foster the People; performed to thousands at festivals ranging from Firefly in Delaware to Electric Forest in Michigan; and was recently tapped as one of the bands to join headliner Bruno Mars at Bottlerock in Napa this spring.
DuJour has proclaimed Magic Giant “the most festive band in the festival circuit, quickly becoming a must-see.” Its style has been described by NPR as “upbeat, passionate indie-folk” and by Billboard as inspiring “mass dance-alongs.” Its initial single “Set on Fire” broke the top 25 on the US Alternative chart and top 5 on Spotify’s US Viral chart; its current single “Window” leaped into the Top 40 on Billboard’s Hot AC and Adult Pop charts; and the new acoustic album debuted in the iTunes Alternative top 25.
The trio, comprised of Austin (lead vocals), Zambricki (viola, banjo, harmonica), and Zang (acoustic guitar, cello) weaves together a musical quilt of alternative, pop, and folk on its LP, uniquely recorded from their solar-powered mobile recording studio while traveling throughout the US.

Taught by Debbie Klein    Wednesday, October 24, 2018   7-9pm
$15 in advance -$20 at the door
What are you?  Some kinda wise guy?   You think you’re funny?
GOOD!
Debbie Klein will help to hone your creative writing skills. While she won’t promise you’ll get published and make a million bucks (although it’s probably more likely than winning the lottery or being struck by lightning) she will help you bring humor to your writing.    
Debbie wrote a column for Tropical Breeze for three years. She wrote scripts for a Public Access TV show called Entertainment Notebook and she flunked out of a damned good college, which means she was accepted! The Tampa Bay Times has printed a few of her stories, and the family asked that she write something for Aunt Esther’s ninetieth birthday.  She is also completing a compilation of stories to be published by Chapter Two Press. 
You must reserve a space prior to the class by registering through this link or making a payment in the amount of $15 at the Safety Harbor Art and Music Center by noon on the day of class. Walk-ins will be accepted at a cost of $20 as long as space is available.

$10 Advance/$15 at the Door
​Doors at 7pm/ concert 7:30pm

Grammy Award-winning bassist Trae Pierce is leading a wild new musical experience known as Trae Pierce & the T-Stones (TPTS). Defined by hard-edged funk and hip-hop mixed with rock and blues, TPTS has developed a high-energy live show with a modern feel that also recalls the unstoppable grooves of Bootsy Collins: they “wants to funk you up!” Trae is a world-class bassist and four-time Grammy Award-winner (with the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama) who cut his bass chops as a member of The Ohio Players. 
From his Florida home, this bass “monster” has hand-picked a vibrant young group of musicians with limitless energy and extreme talent, and together they’ve been tearing up dance floors throughout the Southeast with a genre-blending twist of funk-rock rhythms that bring out the best in every beat. After sharing the stage with funk powerhouses George Clinton, Parliament Funkadelic, The Revivalists, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and The Main Squeeze among others.www.traepierceandthetstones.com

FREEBO
rescheduling  
​ Doors 7pm   Concert 7:30pm
$20 in Advance/$25 at the Door


​​FREEBO is a genuine folk, rock and blues icon who, after over 40 years of recording and touring with many of the great artists of our time (Bonnie Raitt 10 years, CSN, Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, Neil Young, & many more) is regarded as one of the most gifted singer-songwriters of today. A multi award winner and finalist in numerous songwriting contests, Freebo was also recognized as the 'Best Folk Artist 2007' by the Los Angeles Music Awards. In addition, he has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Muppet Show, The Midnight Special, and in concert with the legendary Spinal Tap.
   Freebo’s compassionate concern for the world and people around him, as evidenced both in his lyrics and his open stage banter, has helped him connect with listeners worldwide. He will take an audience from insights about what kind of positive mark we hope to leave on the world upon our own passing with “Standing Ovation” to where you stand with your pets and your partner with "She Loves My Dog More Than Me." A musical evening with Freebo will be astute, insightful, clever, and truly melodic.
    Here's what critics are saying about Freebo:
   "Freebo is more than one of LA's best players, he's also a richly gifted and distinctive songwriter, as expressive in his writing as on a bass" (Paul Zollo, Songwriters On Songwriting)
   "Freebo's intimate and go-down-easy personable vocals tie in light-hearted fare, social commentary and spiritual quest with love-sweet-love, and make it sound seamless." (Janet Goodman, Music News Nashville)
   "Standing Ovation is an astounding song which encompasses a profound view of life, destined to become a classic." (Russ Paris, Folkworks.org) 
   "Listening to Freebo is like riding on a cumulus cloud of peaceful awareness, a cosmic blend of folk/country/rock/soul ear-pleasing genre-defying music." (Walt Falconer, Cool Album Of The Day)
   "Freebo sounds as if he's not really singing to you; he's talking to you. One of the best albums of the year." (John Shelton Ivany, jsitop21.com)

  • You did it--after years of work, you finished your book.
  • Congratulations!  But the path to publication isn't finished.

  • If you intend to self-publish, there are choices to be made: the platform, cover design, and most importantly, the interior. Although many authors ignore the look of the interior design, these small details often make the difference as to whether someone picks up and reads your work. Local author and publisher Warren Firschein will tell you how you can make your final product shine using features contained in Microsoft Word, as well as going over the advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing and some of the choices available to authors today.

The Poetry Show comes to Safety Harbor 
January 27, 2018    
Doors open 6:30pm/show 7:00pm
Suggested $5.00 Donation at the door
 
What happens when we put poets in front of a band of experimental musicians? We don’t really know, but we’re going to find out.
 
The Poetry Show is a live improvised collaboration; we give poets the opportunity to perform their work with the support of a band of talented musical improvisers. The musicians react to the words, and the poets work with the rhythm of the music, resulting in a completely unique performance that can never be duplicated.
 
The musicians are led by percussionist Meghan McManus, who uses everything from flower pots and buckets of water and other objects, to synthesizers and vibraphones, to create improvised soundscapes to accompany the words.
 
8 poets (chosen by Ed Derkevics of SHAMc and Poetry Show creator Cole Bellamy) will perform at January 27, 6:30 p.m. at the Safety Harbor Arts and Music Center.

RICKY BOSCARINO the Mastermind behind the psychedelic wonderland
​LUNA PARC
JANUARY 19 BOLDER Talk 
Friday night 6:30-7

Sculptural Concrete Workshop Jan 20 Saturday 10-5
Jan 21 Sunday 10-5
​2018

There is a long history of non-conforming construction known as ferro-cement. Basically it refers to any type of reinforcing steel, iron or other metal combined with traditional and modified concrete(cement) 
 Ricky Boscarino has created numerous sculptures both public and at his home Luna Parc using this method. It is also used in construction of shelters and homes to create sculpted living spaces.
Ricky has been inspired by the undulating roof lines of Gaudi of Barcelona as well as the eccentric imposing facades of Hundertwasser ( of Vienna and New Zealand).
 In this two day workshop we will construct a sculptural electrified lamppost which will be a permanent fixture at SHAMC in Safety Harbor FL.
  We'll work with Ricky and the founders of SHAMC on the piece using the ferro-cement method. You can be a part of  the process from beginning to completion.
 The process can be difficult at times, cement, wire mesh and wire are somewhat stubborn materials so be prepared to work, have fun and be a part of this amazing experience. The result will be spectacular!
 We ask for $10 per person per day for the experience.

Longtime East Nashville resident Korby Lenker returned to his native Idaho to record his 7th studio album Thousand Springs. Eschewing the standard recording studio, Lenker recorded his latest batch of songs in various places important to him as a child - the Snake River Canyon (see pic below), Craters of the Moon, and in a small cabin north of Sun Valley.

Freedom to be happy, creative, efficient and effective, we all desire this... so Yoga Nidra, (known as yogic ‘sleep’), is a unique method that goes below the surface tensions to release and transform the sources of stress that lie dormant in our physical, mental and emotional bodies.

  •   Accelerate self-healing

  •   Tap into your natural agelessness

This class will include breathing techniques along with basic yoga standing and seated poses,  to help stretch and strengthen the body while helping you find a peaceful connection to the mind, body, and soul.

 Mary discovered yoga in 2004.   After her first class, she was hooked.  She knew immediately there was something special about yoga and how it made her feel mentally and physically.  She continued to practice a few times a week.  In 2010, after having her daughter she knew that yoga was something she loved and it's something she knew she would be practicing the rest of her life.  Why not become a teacher and share her passion! In 2012, she graduated from Prana Vinyasa Radiant Transitions Teacher Training Program as an 200RYT and has been teaching ever since. She reminds her students that yoga is a journey.  All you have to do is show up, move, breath, let go, and the rest will fall into place. Mary believes the yoga practice will always foster the peace and creativity within us.

“One of the most striking things about seeing Lenker perform is his relationship with his guitar. He doesn't just play it, he becomes it -- or, maybe, it becomes a part of him.”  - No Depression

“His self-titled new album is filled with excellent playing, charming hooks and lots of spirited variety — from rootsy vibes to indie-pop.”  - Idaho Statesman

“…sweet, likable, even huggable folk-pop confections.” - American Songwriter Magazine

Emily kopp (trio) concert

Picture
With music dubbed a marriage between "bluesy heartache vocals and pop songwriting smarts" (The Advocate), Emily Kopp has cultivated a career uniquely her own. She has shared stages with Matchbox 20, Brandi Carlile, Marc Cohn, Phillip Phillips, Kenny Loggins, Boyce Avenue, The Gin Blossoms, and later had the honor of presenting at the TEDxGreenville conference (2015). Kopp has released “Serendipity Find Me” (2013) and “Making Sense Of” in 2015. Later that year, she launched a new project, Midnight Riot, alongside writing partner/producer Justin Beckler. The two have since landed songs in commercials for: JetBlue, FitBit, Honey Bunches of Oats, Mary Kay, Samsung, Two Men and A Truck, VistaPrint, and more. In an ever changing music industry climate, Kopp has managed to carve out a space all her own, continuing to grow as a performer, entrepreneur, and songwriter, continuing to evolve, and connect with her audience.

Fantastic Negrito Returns!

Picture
SUNDAY, MAY 14, 2017 AT RUTH ECKERD HALL TO BENEFIT SAFETY HARBOR ART & MUSIC CENTER. GET TICKETS NOW! CONCERT IN THE INTIMATE MARGARETE HEYE GREAT ROOM...LIMITED SEATING
FANTASTIC NEGRITO IS A MAN’S TRUTH TOLD IN THE FORM OF BLACK ROOTS MUSIC. EACH SONG THE TRUE STORY OF A MUSICIAN FROM OAKLAND WHO EXPERIENCED THE HIGHS OF A MILLION DOLLAR RECORD DEAL, THE LOWS OF A NEAR FATAL CAR ACCIDENT THAT PUT HIM IN A COMA, AND IS NOW IN THE PHASE OF REBIRTH DESPITE HIS PLAYING HAND BEING MANGLED. NEGRITO’S MUSIC EMPHASIZES RAWNESS AND SPACE. SLIDE GUITAR, DRUMS, PIANO. RATHER THAN UPDATE THE DELTA BLUES, FANTASTIC NEGRITO LEAVES THE ORIGINAL SOUNDS OF LEAD BELLY AND SKIP JAMES INTACT, BUILDING BRIDGES TO A MODERN SOUND WITH LOOPS AND SAMPLES OF HIS OWN LIVE INSTRUMENTS. BUT THE PRIMARY ELEMENT THAT DRIVES FANTASTIC NEGRITO’S MUSIC IS UNCUT REALNESS AND ZERO CONCERN FOR “POP” ANYTHING.

THE COMEDY SHACK-A STANDUP COMEDY WORKSHOP
​Dates :2nd and 4th  Tuesday of each month  

Instructor: Kim M. Clark
Have you always wanted to learn standup comedy but never knew where to start? ... or are you already hitting the Open Mics but want to improve your standup comedy skills? .... or do you just want to be able to be in front of a group of people and say something funny to make everyone laugh? If so then The Comedy Shack (a standup comedy workshop) is the place to be!

The standup comedy workshop is for anybody who has any interest whatsoever in learning how to do standup comedy as well as improve his/her own “clean” standup comedy material in front of a group of friendly people who will give constructive feedback. You do not have to be a funny person nor do you have to have any particular reason for learning standup comedy other than that is something you wish to do. All humor has to be clean. Workshop fee is $10 per workshop per person. 

The 90-minute format will feature fun, laughter, lessons on technique, as well as the opportunity to perform your standup comedy in front of the group for evaluation. {Of course, performing the standup comedy bit is entirely voluntary. In fact, many people attending the standup comedy workshop just go for the fun of it as it is a totally fun environment where you will find much to laugh about and will probably learn a technique or two. You do not need to want to perform standup comedy to participate nor do you have to be a funny person.}

This workshop is for everybody who has any desire to be able to stand up in front of a group of people and, at a minimum, say at least one funny thing – but the more “advanced” standup comedians are more than welcome as well! The Comedy Shack features "clean" comedy. The minimum age to participate is 16 years.

For more info, contact: Kim M. Clark - Director, 727.479.6720; TheComedyShack@gmail.com.

Tinderbox Circus Sideshow

Thursday, March 23, 2017

Tinderbox Circus Sideshow is one of the last remaining traveling "ten-in-ones" in the country. Our show consists of a variety of working acts, girlie shows (or burlesque), and classic carnival appeal. Our acts range from the classic circus side tent including The Human Blockhead, The Human Pincushions, the Bed of Nails, Clowning, & Fire Eating...to more daredevil stunts the likes of Balancing on Wine Glasses, Eating Glass, Body Piercing Weight Lifting, & our personal favorite...BREAKING THINGS ON THINGS!

They're the one-stop shop for all things icky in entertainment! Between Captain Darron's miraculous nose, dangerous juggling, and high threshold for pain, whimsically white trash fantastic award-winning performer Trashique's alluring ears, deadly figure, and non stop sing song energy, AND the most disgusting woman in sideshow, Devereaux Dollface...they never fail to astound, arouse, and disgust audiences across the nation! The trio spends their time scheming, plotting, and planning to dislodge your stomach contents and leave you screaming for more!

Listening Room: Erick Baker

Thursday, March 16, 2017

​I didn’t grow up singing or playing music. I’ve never had voice lessons, and it wasn’t until after I graduated college that I started to teach myself how to play guitar. So if you’d told me then that I’d end up making a living as a singer-songwriter, I wouldn't have believed you. Even now, with the release of my third full length studio album, Dear Amanda, I can barely believe it.Music has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. It’s taken me to parts of the world I would’ve never seen and connected me with people I would’ve never met. It’s given my life purpose. Without music, I may have never met the two greatest loves of my life, my wife, Amanda, and my daughter, Annabelle Rose Baker. However, at the same time, music almost tore my life apart. I wish I could say that the road to this new record was easy, but it wasn’t. In fact, there was a time when I wasn’t sure if I’d ever record another song, but as it turns out, the day that I decided to stop making music, was the day that Dear Amanda began.

“Armed with a violin, acoustic guitar, drums and an upright bass fashioned from two old suitcases, the Mulligan Brothers, a quartet from Mobile, Ala., stand dead center at the crossroads generally defined as Americana. Folk, country and blues all factor into the sound, as Ross Newell’s nuanced, radio-ready voice brings the band’s story-songs to vivid life.” - Keith Spera | The Times-Picayune

Mamajowali Concert
​Monday, November 9, 2015
Mamajowali features three veteran musicians – one from Mali, West Africa and two from the United States – that have found common ground in a new and unique sound. Interweaving two continents and three uniquely different musical sensibilities, their cultural and instrumental blend of kamale ngoni (the hunter’s harp), six string guitar, percussion, fiddle, mandolin and singing is traditional, innovative and uncommon – all at the same time. Mamajowali overlays West African and Latin American music with old time Americana and spirited originals with hoppin’ high energy grooves and tons of improvisational trialogue. Come listen to the sound you’ve never heard ~ “Afromericana!”

Joe Craven Workshop/Playshop
Tuesday, November 10, 2015
​"How do you make music in the moment, jam confidently with folks you’ve never met, and/or say something different every time you take a solo? This class is for people who have never thought of themselves as musical to beginner levels and on up through intermediate level - and any instrument. This intensive will help deepen one’s connection to spontaneity and flow through organized sound. Joe teaches musical improvisation more from a theater model rather than the requisite model of jazz. He connects improvisation to what you already do and moves you forward from there. We’ll focus on ways to think differently about sound, embrace fearlessness, and address the connection between spoken-word language and the language of music. Showing up empty-handed, mimicry, mistakes & metaphor, sending/receiving and the value of losing control are some things we’ll touch on. It’s an ‘outside the box’ class of exercises and opportunity to play with others in new ways. The class will stretch you and may well change some of your perceptions of what music is. Remember you can’t win if you don’t enter and you must be present to win!"

Without music, I may have never met the two greatest loves of my life: my wife, Mandy, and my daughter, Annabelle Rose Baker. My songs belong to every right turn and wrong turn that has led me here. They reflect the pieces of poetry hidden in the experiences that lie within each of our everyday lives."
