Opening Reception and Artist Talk with Phillip Faulkner
Exhibition : Layers by Phillip Faulkner
Suggested donation for admission. Cash bar available.
Phillip Faulkner is interested in how technology and the emergence of media outlets inform, affect and intertwine with the historical art canon. His artistic inquiry spans visual media, but the one constant in his work is an embrace of collage philosophy. Faulkner produces work that melds the digital and tangible, bridges technology and tradition, and attempts to create imagery that is both new and nostalgic. The artwork in Layers employs appropriated imagery from disparate sources, combined with original marks that are placed in new combinations.

Concert: Victoria Vox
Suggested $10 admission donation. All concert admission donations pay the musicians.A beer and wine cash bar is open during all evening concerts.
Co-hosted by WXPR, Local. Public. Radio

Victoria Vox is an ukulele-toting award-winning songwriter and performer. Originally from Green Bay, WI, Vox has lived in France, England, Nashville, Baltimore, and now resides in Costa Mesa, CA. With a passion for songwriting since she was 10, she studied at the Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA) and in 2003, she took up the ukulele as her main accompaniment.
Since the release of her first ukulele album in 2006, Vox has been one of the leading songwriters on the ukulele scene (Ukulele Magazine, front cover + feature article). However, she straddles into the folk scene as well, where she has opened for Jackson Browne, Tom Chapin, Leo Kottke, and Cheryl Wheeler. She performs mostly as a one-woman-band, incorporating a loop pedal and bass effect on her ukulele, while taking her own solos (on mouth-trumpet), and cutting through it all with her genuine lyrics and pure voice.
A stage name can be a becoming thing. "Vox" (in latin) means voice, and along with her care for the environment (1% for the Planet Member), she has written and donated songs to the American Aspergers Association and the Duchenne Foundation.
On a lighter note, she also has perfected the Mouth-Trumpet which, to
some, is considered a form of "beat-boxing". Vox takes improvisational
solos echoing the tones of trumpet genius, Chet Baker, solely with her
voice. This odd and quirky talent, nonetheless, landed her on the Jay
Leno Show (2009) and on the front page of the Wall Street Journal
(2015).

Concert: Brothers Burn Mountain
$10 suggested admission donation. Donations go to the musicians.
http://
They may be a blur of motion when they perform live, but on their new release, "When You Crave a Sweetness," The Brothers Burn Mountain show that they're also inventive songwriters whose musical panorama extends beyond simple, athletic energy.
Recorded [in part] at Sparta Sound Studios in Sparta, Minn., with Rich Mattson at the helm, the new disc shows it's impossible to pin this duo - brothers Jesse and Ryan Dermody - down to any definitive sound or style, as they simply career from track to track with the abandon of a rabid dog in a vigorous mash-up of sensibilities.
Even the word eclectic comes up short describing the brothers Dermody.
What "When You Crave a Sweetness" brings to light is that they're talented musicians whose palette of aural shades and hues is so varied that they really are unclassifiable." - John Ziegler, The Duluth News Tribune.
