Motherlodge Performance Series Mar/29 - Apr/05


The first Motherlodge Performance Series starts this Sunday. As I can't beat the words that the mission statement dishes out, I will let it and the festival itenary speak for itself below. 

Motherlodge Mission Statement A live art exchange...

Motherlodge is a diverse programming of theater, music, film, readings, and solo performance aimed at creating new possibilities for how artists, entertainers, and educators can collaborate in local communities. Our goal is to provide the means for artists to have as much influence over the programs in which their works are presented, and to inspire new paths of creativity by partnering for events with unexpected venues and organizations. We also solicit content for Motherlodge from a web based community that spans award winning artists and writers, high school students, and retirees. In 2009, through a partnership with Mogulus.com, organizers will launch an online network channel and establish Motherlodge Louisville and Motherlodge NYC.

Concert photography Tuesday!!!

Alright, so it's not a thing i've done in the past; nor is it a thing that'll happen every Tuesday...
I do have some photos that didn't make it through the post processing last month and wanted to share them with you.
The Louisville is for Lovers showcases brought 4 shows to the area to celebrate the release in a period of 4 days; it was a whirlwind to say the least. The only show I didn't get to was the Live Lunch show at WFPK and it looks as though I found some YouTube links so sit back and look at some photos and watch some videos and reminisce about the great comp (that's still available for purchase) that is Louisville is for Lovers!


Louisville is for Lovers "Acoustic Showcase" at the Lounge 02-11



Louisville is for Lovers "Ear X-tacy In Store" 02-13



Louisville is for Lovers "Main Showcase" at Skull Alley 02-14

You'll have two chances to check out Bro Stephen this month with a show with Anni Rossi and her beautiful violin tunes, tuesday the 3rd at the Green Building and the 11th at Sunegros Coffee House on South Preston.
Do yourself a favor and pick up Bro Stephen's "Front Room" EP... it's two songs and an extra 11 demos. The two tracks are nice and finished up and the demos are good and intimate. Only 50 copies made and i already own one of 'em!
The show is all ages and $5 at the door.
