THIRDSTONE NEWS & NOTES - INDIAN SUMMER COMIN'??

THIRDSTONE NEWS AND NOTES:

THIRDSTONE NEWSLETTER LATEST ISSUE -

Hello All!

THIRDSTONE NEWS: The date for the next ThirdStone show is finally clarifying a bit....seems I've been saying that for sometime now haven't I? I promise to have all the details and a real launch date in the next issue... thanks for all the inquiries. When it does finally get here, I can promise you it'll be worth the wait. The show will kick-off in Late November and the location will be announced soon. There are two additional West Michigan shows currently in planning and 2 "out-of-town" ones as well. I'll report more details on all of them soon as well.

Part of the reason for my seemingly continuous rescheduling of the next show is about to be made clear; just not quite yet! There is something intriguing that's been demanding of my attention and resources and that too I can now promise to share with you in the very next issue.

Okay. Here's the latest news of what I actually CAN tell you is goin' on around the area...

SATYA - THIRDSTONE CONCERT SERIES TO LAUNCH IN OCTOBER - BRIAN CUTEAN THIS SATURDAY

Yeah, ThirdStone has again teamed up with Satya Yoga Center in Saugatuck to put together another fall/winter concert series. Launching the series this season will be my brother Brian's 14th (or sometimes referred to as the 3rd "12th annual") annual West Michigan concert this Saturday evening at Satya. (more info from Michele directly below). We've got another couple surprises coming up soon in the series - we'll fill you in soon!

Here's the latest from Michele at Satya:

We are 'extra' excited to welcome back our dear friend Brian Cutean (QTN) for an evening of jammin', word play and the such on Saturday, October 17 at 7:30pm. This is the first event in our fall / winter "Indoor-Barefoot-Picnic-Concert-Series" where you are invited to pack a picnic basket chock full of all sorts of goodies, bring a comfy blanket, pillows (heck, wear your pjs!), and lie back and chill with some good friends and great music. Brian asked that I make this an all-age show, and keep it at an $8 donation, or considering the economy, a "what you can afford" type show, so great big hugs to Brian for his generosity. He is a true yogi.

NEW SHOW OPENS AT MARS GALLERY THIS WEEKEND
Opening Reception for Absolute Fantasy show - AT MARS GALLERY, CHICAGO, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 6 - 9PM
Featuring artwork by Sean Williams, Sabina Cosic and Alan Emerson Hicks ...curated by SusaN Aurinko of FLATFILE galleries Friday, July 24, - 6 00pm - 9:00pm - Sponsored by Goose Island Brewery Company...

Light Miners is a series of photographs of a world where Mother Nature gives back to humankind in the form of glowing pods of light and energy-a gentle comment on contemporary culture's petrol-dependency. Shot on location in the deep basements of Chicago Loop buildings as well as in public parks, Williams rounded out the productions by compositing scaled models of windmills and caverns to help create the world of the Light Miners. Originally made to be shown on chromogenic transparencies, half of this series will be shown on archival inkjet prints.

The "Grimmed" project is consisted of three original brothers Grimm fairy tales. The stories are "Cinderella", "Little Red Riding Hood", and "Hansel and Gretel". There are ten images in every story and they are sequentially illustrating the major events in each story, respectfully. The images were created combinations of photographs and various digital illustration techniques. "Grimmed" brings the original tales as told by the brothers Grimm back to life.

Time machines are conceptual sculptures built biannually. They are created in odd numbered years and displayed the following even numbered year. They are a part of the "temporal sculpture" series (sculptures with a time element). Time machines are partially audience participatory. The viewer is given the opportunity to sit on or stand in front of the piece and have a temporal experience with it. A reel of video tape is destroyed during this experience which will eventually get used on the piece.

The Show will be on exhibit from July 24, 2009 thru August 22, 2009.

There are several other events and benefits going on at the gallery this month...go to their website marsgallery.com for more info

1st ANNUAL WEST MICHIGAN MUSICIAN’S BLOCK PARTY

GRAND RAPIDS - One Trick Pony Grill & Taproom, along with The Cottage Bar, will host the 1st Annual West Michigan Musician’s Block Party on Sunday August 2nd from 1:30 pm- 9:00 pm. The event, featuring an outdoor stage on La Grave Avenue and an indoor stage at the Cottage Bar, will feature over 35 bands and acoustic acts performing. The beneficiary of the inaugural block party will be Grand Rapids own “Ambassador of local music”, Ralston Bowles, a singer/songwriter from the area who is currently receiving treatment for Colon Cancer. In addition to the musical acts, there will be a silent auction at both venues featuring original art, handcrafted guitars and other items.

Music coordinator Michael Packer and One Trick Pony/Cottage Bar owners Dan & Lisa Verhil hope to make the Block Party an annual event that will raise funds for musicians who are dealing with health and financial issues. “Each year, it seems that more and more local musicians are dealing with these issues and we want to give back to artists that give so much quality of life to the community” says Packer. “Ralston and his family were the impetus for this first benefit, but the need will continue to exist beyond this year for other musicians.”

Artists currently slated to perform include 13th Hour, Josh Rose, Rick Beerhorst, Chance Jones, Roger McNaughton, Ric Troll, Nobody’s Darlin’, Folk Brothers, Arganik, Mid Life Crisis, Jimmie Stagger, Creolization, Drew Nelson, Troll for Trout, The Concussions, La Famiglia, Fainting Generals, Organissimo and Delilah DeWylde & the Lost Boys.

Admission to the block party is a minimum $15 donation for those over 12 and free to attendees 12 and under. Donations to the silent auction may be dropped off by July 26th at the Richard App Gallery, located at 910 Cherry SE.
