Live and Local

On September 24th I took part in a live art show, and had a small display of paintings at The Loft in MPLS. There were allot of bands that played;

Wolfman Strikes Again - softer more mellow dual guitars and electronic beat, alternative rock duo,

Thomas Kivi and Friends - a solo musician who had his friends join in the for the second half of the set bringing in a violinist and a chellist, he reminds me of a younger Tom Petty,

Truckee River Killer - a unique mixture of punk rhythm and elaborate chords, and

Blood Root Mother, who I did live art for, they have such a powerful sound you can't help but become enticed by their lyrics and melodies. They had a Toadies cover in there too (Possum Kingdom).

The live art stage was at the opposite side the Loft. They had multiple easels with multiple artists painting abstract art to the music. There were a variety of mediums being used, from oil pastels to hot glue guns to spray paint to liquid acrylic poured straight onto the canvas. I was the last artist to go up, the crowd around the art stage at this point was pretty small, but still a great experience. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys painting music to do some live art shows, its some of the most fun I've ever had.
