I have a show at a local bar called Quinn & Tuitie’s at the end of September. I am looking forward to this performance because we will be expermenting with some new things. I am planning on adding some visual art to our standard musical performance. I have a friend that will be running an old style movie projector with the sound off in the room to add a layer of visual experience and texture. We have a little olive green transistor radio that we will be bringing next to a microphone from time to time as a person goes randomly between stations creating noise and catches bits and pieces of radio transmitions. We will be wearing some kind of matching out fits as well but I can’t describe that because it is still too much in the works.
Our wonderful poster was designed by Grey Matter Group here in Grand Rapids MI using a wood cut of mine as an image. I have been a visual artist most of my life and as I make more room to perform music I am allowing what I have learned as a painter and printmaker to add it’s infuence to the mix.
