Eli August
Thursday, September 2, 2010, 11:00 pm
Eli August creates music with zeal and energy, focusing on mood, tonality and lyricism. The songwriting mines memories of past regrets and failures to create melancholy aural set pieces that are sincere, passionate and some times dark, but never completely devoid of redemption. There is a tangible sense of urgency in the music that flows throughout the songs. Many of the works carry the sobering notion that life may never be as good as it once was, but there is still reason to carry on. Eli August comes to you with no preconceived notions or carrying any musical airs. The music is here to say one thing. Though the outlook may seem bleak and the path dark, we are in this together. “There is nothing quite so beautiful as a fire burning in the darkness.”

The Go Round
Friday, September 3, 2010, 8:00 pm
The Go Round is the coming together of two Brooklyn songwriters, Brandon Whightsel and Richard Duke. The son of an etymologist and an alpine nurse, Brandon was born at the base camp of the third highest mountain in the Himalayas, Kangchenjunga ("Five Treasures of the Great Snow"). From these great heights he spent his youth descending into the intrepid and colorful world of the nomad. He spent his early teens as an olive farmer in northwestern Italy, where he whiled his free time away learning Italian folk songs on a Febricatore guitar. Richard was born in Tokyo, to a pair of English teachers teaching their way around the world. He ran away with his parents permission at 15, and spent his young adulthood busking through the former soviet block after picking up an abandoned guitar in the foyer of the Flying Pig in Amsterdam. The two met in 2006 on an on ramp outside of Kimball, Nebraska. Brandon was working his way out to Denver for a show that weekend, and Richard, having just finished hiking from Georgia to Maine, was hitching out to Tahoe see if he could find work in the Sierras. Guitars in hand, they go to talking about the odds of both being dropped off at the same time on a lonely butte in the howling wind, decided to stick together, and the rest is history.

Deborah Chaskin Art Opening
Saturday, September 4, 2010, 7:00 pm
There comes a time in everyone’s life that they question who they are. A clue to discovering how to spend one’s time is to see what brings peace amongst adversity. Deborah Chaskin found for her what brings peace is art. She uses art to connect with her inner self. Her favorite toy as a child was the “etch a sketch. The art she creates range from watercolor, pencil, and pastel pictures of flowers, people, and animals to digital multimedia landscapes. When she creates the multimedia landscapes she starts by taking pictures of her own fine art. She then looks for landscapes within the fine art. When she finds a promise of a landscape she paints in the details and cuts out mini landscapes to make collages. These mini landscapes become the “layers” in photo shop which she uses to create more complex landscapes. The process is a journey within. Her work can be found on her website located at http://www.feelingpurple.com Photos, cards, collages, original art and digital prints are for sale upon request. Deborah Chaskin is also a poet and known for her quote “Just like the butterfly I too will awaken in my own time.”

Luminous Dark Alleys Book/CD Release - Tah Phrum Duh Bush
Wednesday, September 8, 2010, 8:00 pm
Tah Phrum Duh Bush is a New York City based Emcee, DJ, Writer, and Emergency R.N. who immerses himself in the urban arts and indulges in world perspectives. His two albums The Untitled EP and Sunshine or Pure Shade have earned countless praises from an international audience. In his music and writing, Tah utilizes dark comedy to explore fresh ways of expressing the dichotomies of life. Often delving into the mysteries of the human thought process. Luminous Dark Alleys: The Insomniac Works is a conglomeration of literary, musical and visual artistry that weaves an experience with emotion, logic and depth that will alter thinking processes for years to come. It is a trudge through the cavernous mind of an insomniac. Tah Phrum Duh Bush takes the reader/listener on a piggyback ride through a vast and vivid mindscape of self-discovery and blatant, vulnerable honesty. Millions are afflicted by insomnia worldwide. The sleepless now have something they can point to and say, “I know exactly where he is coming from”. Those who do sleep will never view sleep the same way. They will walk away from these works with a newfound appreciation for their blessings of slumber as their newborn curiosity for introspective thought leads them to the potential of becoming an insomniac.
