John and Mary Perform an Intimate Duet
Beloved Buffalo duo John and Mary are kicking off their summer with an intimate duet in a "perfectly Buffalo" setting. The Essex Arts Center is one of those places that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto a secret world in the arts, a self-contained environment reclaimed from a Victorian brick-walled ice factory. A movie set waiting to happen, it's the perfect backdrop for the intricate melodies and laid-back guitar of the duo, formerly the heartbeat of the "other" Buffalo super-group, the 10,000 Maniacs.
Friends who come to visit keep surprising me by being astonished at Lombardo and Ramsey's accessibility and easy-going manner. They're such nice people, it's easy to put aside that they've filled stadiums with their fans and have individually and collectively produced more albums than you and I have fingers and toes. So, if somehow in your tenure as a Buffalonian you've never managed to catch their act, this is a great opportunity to rectify that situation.
Wednesday, May 23, 2007 from 7:30PM to 9:30PM $5, cash bar available The Essex Arts Center 30 Essex, 14213

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am

New Magazine To Focus On The Local Art Scene
What could be more perfect to spread the news about local artists at the Buffalo Indie Market than a literary magazine that features works from local artists? NOMAD is a new magazine set to debut in January 2009 that will feature writers, poets, photographers, artists, and designers from the area. Erica Eichelkraut, a freelance photographer, created NOMAD and is bringing it to the public.
