About The Mighty Pines:
The Mighty Pines are a soul-inspired roots rock band influenced by the wide rivers and red-brick streets of St. Louis. With soaring vocals and thoughtful composition, the two principle songwriters shift the band’s sound from catchy rock ‘n’ roll to earthy instrumentals. The Riverfront Times heralds the band as “a talented young quartet engaged in the roots and rhythms of bluegrass but mixed with a more contemporary ear for harmony and production.”

The Mighty Pines is made up of Neil Salsich (vocals, guitar), Gerard Erker (mandolin, banjo, vocals), John Hussung (bass, vocals) and Mike Murano (drums). They have released three studio albums, played hundreds of live shows across the country and shared bills with renowned acts such as JJ Grey & Mofro, The Dead South, Fruition, Sam Bush and Railroad Earth.

Ronnie Milsap is a multiple Grammy Award-winning country music singer and pianist. A blind performer, Milsap’s songs were frequent cross-over hits during the 1970s and 1980s. Forty #1s. Five decades of charted singles. Creating a new way of recording (being blind his hyper-attuned hearing led him to create/build what is now known as Ronnie’s Place, where the new album, the Duets, was captured), he broke genre rules and became one of the biggest pop/AC and even R&B artists of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Six Grammys. CMA Entertainer of the Year and four Album of the Year Awards.
Legendary Ronnie Milsap takes the stage at The Riviera Theatre- 67 Webster St.-North Tonawanda, NY 14120 on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019 at 7:30pm.

The first country video played on MTV (the ironic “She Loves My Car”). An early champion of NFL star Mike Reid, who wrote many of Ronnie’s #1 hits and who’d go on to write Bonnie Raitt’s second most enduring classic “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
To date, Milsap boasts many cross-over hits, 40 No.1 country hits, six Grammy Awards, and eight Country Music Association Awards and is still creating new hits, including his new album, “Duets”.

Just Paint
So, you say you want to paint, but the idea scares you? Well, at least that’s what many of Bruce Adams’ high school and college students have expressed over the years. That’s why he developed the “Just Paint” painting method, designed to lower anxiety while cultivating the pure joy of painting.
This is not a step-by-step-do-as-I-do process; Adams will demonstrate his method by creating a painting from start to finish (including selecting subject matter) in 45 minutes, just as he has done hundreds of times for his students and for Hallwalls’ Mid Summer’s Night Draw events. After that, you will make your own painting using the Just Paint method, an approach where there are no such thing as mistakes.
After using this method in class for years to encourage students to dive into painting without fear, Adams discovered that collectors liked what he only considered to be demos and warm-ups. So he began what he calls his Extemporal series, works that are done spontaneously. Now he will teach you how to do the same.
Will you produce a masterpiece? Maybe, but even if you don’t, you’ll have fun trying.

Bruce Adams is best known as a figurative painter who works in various painting styles. His conceptually based painting peels back the layers of meaning inherent in making and viewing art.
Formally trained in art education at Buffalo State College, Adams extended his education as an artist through his involvement in Western New York’s contemporary art scene, starting in the nineteen-eighties as director/curator of a small storefront gallery called peopleart bflo, then with Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center as an Artist Advisory Committee co-founder, long-time board member, and board president.
In addition to painting Adams’ art also includes installation and performance art. He is also an educator with teaching experience ranging from Kindergarten to graduate level college. Her has exhibited extensively locally and nationally, and his work is included in numerous private and museum collections including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Castellani Museum, UB Anderson Gallery, and Burchfield-Penney Art Center.
In 2007 Adams was given an extensive mid-career survey exhibition titled Bruce Adams, Half Life 1980-2006 at the UB Anderson Gallery. Recent projects include Untitled, exhibited at Big Orbit Gallery. Corridors Gallery, and Roz Steiner Gallery, and Myths and Lies, exhibited in the Castellani Museum. An installation by Adams was included in Play/Ground, in Medina NY.

Hayden’s CD release party!
Hayden discovered the blues at an early age while living in Mississippi and started playing guitar just before his 9th Birthday. He was birthed into the music scene at age 12 when blues legend Buddy Guy invited him to play alongside him for a sold-out show at one of the largest music venues in his hometown of Buffalo, NY.

Ever since Hayden has surprised and entertained audiences across the world with his electrifying guitar playing abilities. Hayden has been invited to perform with many nationally well-known musicians including Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Grammy® winning producer Tom Hambridge, Lee Ritenour, Robert Randolph, Davy Knowles, Donald Kinsey & Kinsey Report, Bob Margolin and several others.

God walks into a therapists’ office…..

When a conflicted and depressed God seeks out an earthly therapist to aid him with his wrenching doubts, it is not always clear who is providing therapy to whom. Ella, a single mother living with her autistic son, is a therapist with issues of her own, but has only one session to convince God not to give up on his creation. How do you help a “being” with no parents to blame?

The story is ever evolving. The experience is always exciting. Come join Pink Talking Fish for the ultimate fusion tribute and celebrate the love of this music in unique fashion.

Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to announce our new Community Space exhibition, The Poeta Project. Buffalo educator and poet, Karen Eckert, started The Poeta Project in response to a need she saw in high schools: students holding back creatively and giving up too easily.

Combining poetry, art, and education, this exhibition is a “call and response” between Eckerts’s poetry and work from local artists. To start, 16 poems were given to 16 different artists. They had to use the title of the poem as the title of their artwork and draw inspiration from the piece (either title, overall theme, one line, etc.) and create a work of art. In turn, they gave Eckert one original work and Eckert had to find inspiration from that (color, theme, one aspect, etc.), use their title as her title, and create a poem.

All 32 works are on display within the Buffalo Arts Studio Community Space from October 8-November 1, 2019 with a reception on M&T Fourth Friday, October 25, 2019 from 5-8pm.
The process of using each other’s medium to craft new work demonstrates the ways one can find inspiration in new sources and the value in taking risks, persevering, and ultimately learning about yourself and your practice. Eckert is using the project as a model for unit plans that educators can use to replicate the process in their schools. Through the Pollination Project grant Eckert received in November of 2018, she was able to create a website that will house the units and serve as the basis for continuing this project in the future.

Participating artists include:
Monica Angle, Tricia Butski, Markenzy Cesar, Emily Churco, Charles Clough, Matt Grote, Evan Hawkins, Sarah Liddell, Michael Mararian, Anne Muntges, Esther Neisen, Peter Sowiski, Kelly Vetter, Joe Vollan, Alexa Wajed, Muhammad Zaman.

October 4 – November 17, 2019
Opening Reception: October 4, 6-9pm
Screening on Thursdays & Saturdays, 59 minutes

Remembrance of Things Fast: True Stories Visual Lies, 1994 by John Maybury is a landmark work, in terms of its use of high-end post-production techniques and visual f/x to construct an imaginary, complex and thoroughly queer virtual landscape — one which extravagantly references the tropes and visual language of broadcast television, underground film, gay porn, drag & club culture, activist détournement, and music videos, while fluidly slipping between the boundaries separating those mediums. – Sean Capone, curator

Remnants of Extinction
Artwork by Bethany Krull and Chace Lobley

Friday, October 25th, 2019
6-9pm

Exhibition on-view through the end of November

Bethany Krull
Artist Statement:
This work derives from my musings on the Anthropocene, the current geological age where the most significant factor effecting environment and climate is human activity. I can’t help but wonder what we are leaving behind…what happens when the soft parts of a body fade away after death? It seems that when flesh gets consumed by the environment it is drawn up and reincorporated into new growth of new species. In that way extinction can be not only an end, but a beginning. Nature has a penchant for persistence, and I am constantly left wondering, will our species persist?

Chace Lobley
Artist Bio:
Chace began making dinosaurs around the age of 14 when he got “play clay” as a Christmas gift. When asked what he enjoys about dinosaurs he said he found an intensity about the creatures that inspired him to think about “their behavior and design – how they were made”. He also knows that his talent and creativity makes others happy, and he enjoys sharing his creative output with his friends.
Chace gravitates towards clay, but this Buffalonian has a natural ability and understanding of almost every material introduced to him. He has created excellent sculptures and drawings with many materials such as tissue paper, linoleum block prints, and charcoal. His interests extend beyond dinosaurs to mythical beasts, monsters, and cartoons as well.
After having the opportunity to work with Squeaky Wheel Media Center to create a stop-motion animation featuring the Loch Ness monster, Chace would like to do another animation. Furthermore, he would like to someday teach children all he knows about dinosaurs.

About Starlight:
Starlight Studio and Art Gallery is a cooperative environment that supports adults with disabilities in their artistic development. Through technical assistance by professional artists, on-site and off-site exhibitions and other opportunities for representation and sales, the Starlight artists hone their artistic interests, become stronger advocates and better integrated citizens.
Starlight Studio and Art Gallery opened as a day habilitation program by the Learning Disabilities Association of Western New York (LDA of WNY) in August 2005 with funds from the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities. Starlight is modeled after a dynamic art program in California that was observed by an LDA staff member when he lived and worked in that area. An art lover himself, Marc Hennig was determined to bring this effective model to the artistic people with disabilities in Western New York.

Green Buffalo Productions (GBP) is bringing back their Spooky One-Act Play Festival this October with a fresh program filled with Halloween-themed plays. This 2nd annual fundraising event will return to the University Heights Community Laboratory (the CoLab) on 9 West Northrup Place and will feature local playwrights, actors, and directors.

The six pieces will be directed by GBP veterans Leyla Gentil, Zack Hatrick, and Emma Tryon. According to Co-Founder Ellen Scherer, “When the time came to choose directors for Spooky, we found this was the easiest decision we’ve ever made. Leyla, Zack, and Emma bring great ideas to the table. They work hard and have a dedication to their craft as well as to Green Buffalo Productions. It’s an absolute pleasure to have them on our team.”

Returning playwright and founder of Rochester Spoken Word Scott Seifritz is excited to get back to work with GBP: “I’m a huge fan of Green Buffalo Productions and what they’re doing…They are a huge asset to the Buffalo community and to all of Western NY as well. If you haven’t attended one of their events or otherwise engaged their services, you’re missing out on something special!” GBP is thrilled to have Seifritz as well as Justin Pope and j. Snodgrass on board again this year. Emily Bystrak, David Goddard, and Justin Karcher are also excited to debut new work with the company.

The 2nd Annual Spooky One-Act Play Festival was developed as a fundraiser for Green Buffalo Productions’ 2019-2020 Season. There will be items available for raffle; raffle tickets can be purchased via cash or Venmo.

Tickets for the 2nd Annual Spooky One-Act Play Festival are $15 per person and can be purchased online via Brown Paper Tickets at gbpspooky19.bpt.me starting October 1, 2019. The show will begin at 7:30 pm on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 with doors opening at 7:00 pm.

Buying your tickets ahead of time is the best way to ensure you get a great seat!

The dreadful demise of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers in Romeo & Juliet and the unrestrained passion of his Othello are arguably eclipsed by this rarely revived 17th Century Jacobean drama. ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore is a tale of forbidden love, deception and gruesome revenge that will provoke the mind and disquiet the heart as Annabella and Giovanni risk all by consummating their love in defiance of society, the law and the Church. In this world rife with corruption, greed and misogyny, who will bear the blame, and who will pay the price?

God walks into a therapists’ office…..

When a conflicted and depressed God seeks out an earthly therapist to aid him with his wrenching doubts, it is not always clear who is providing therapy to whom. Ella, a single mother living with her autistic son, is a therapist with issues of her own, but has only one session to convince God not to give up on his creation. How do you help a “being” with no parents to blame?

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS COMMUNITY LABORATORY
9 WEST NORTHRUP PLACE
BUFFALO, NY 14216
ADMISSION: $15

Green Buffalo Productions (GBP) is bringing back their Spooky One-Act Play Festival this October with a fresh program filled with Halloween-themed plays. This 2nd annual fundraising event will return to the University Heights Community Laboratory (the CoLab) on 9 West Northrup Place and will feature local playwrights, actors, and directors.

The six pieces will be directed by GBP veterans Leyla Gentil, Zack Hatrick, and Emma Tryon. According to Co-Founder Ellen Scherer, “When the time came to choose directors for Spooky, we found this was the easiest decision we’ve ever made. Leyla, Zack, and Emma bring great ideas to the table. They work hard and have a dedication to their craft as well as to Green Buffalo Productions. It’s an absolute pleasure to have them on our team.”

Returning playwright and founder of Rochester Spoken Word Scott Seifritz is excited to get back to work with GBP: “I’m a huge fan of Green Buffalo Productions and what they’re doing…They are a huge asset to the Buffalo community and to all of Western NY as well. If you haven’t attended one of their events or otherwise engaged their services, you’re missing out on something special!” GBP is thrilled to have Seifritz as well as Justin Pope and j. Snodgrass on board again this year. Emily Bystrak, David Goddard, and Justin Karcher are also excited to debut new work with the company.

The 2nd Annual Spooky One-Act Play Festival was developed as a fundraiser for Green Buffalo Productions’ 2019-2020 Season. There will be items available for raffle; raffle tickets can be purchased via cash or Venmo.

Tickets for the 2nd Annual Spooky One-Act Play Festival are $15 per person and can be purchased online via Brown Paper Tickets at gbpspooky19.bpt.me starting October 1, 2019. The show will begin at 7:30 pm on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 with doors opening at 7:00 pm.

Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door while they last. The event was so popular last year that producers Ellen Scherer and Madison Sedlor decided to add a second night of performances. “We had people knocking on the door in the middle of the show to get in,” admitted Sedlor. Buying your tickets ahead of time is the best way to ensure you get a great seat!

Taking time to share our full attention with each experience through meditation allows us to tap into a well of beauty, wisdom and ease. Coming home to ourselves is always possible.

I know that it is so easy to rush, to skim the surface of our routines, to go on autopilot through the familiar. In our meditation hour I invite you to go deeper, to notice what is unfolding in front of you, to engage with your life with attention and wonder. Through our mindful practice we will connect with how you’re showing up in your life, give yourself permission to move with the integrity and love of patience, so that each moment is infused with possibility and awareness.

Join me for community and self connection, a space to explore our inner landscape and receive energy healing & channeled messages. All are welcome to drop in, $15 for our meditation session. We meet every other Sunday at Santosha in Williamsville, NY.
WALKATHONS INS ARE WELCOME

Katy is available for private sessions after meditation. A private session is deep Energy Healing & Intuitive messages

For Our Daughters, Inc. was founded in 2012 after the founder, Mercedes Wilson, was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at the young age of 28. It was at this time that Mercedes learned just how much she didn’t know about her own family history. It was through this ordeal that For Our Daughters, Inc. was birthed!

As a 501(c)3 organization, our aim is to assist young women between the ages of 11-19 with living longer, healthier lives by taking the reigns on their health. We believe that every young woman should know her family history and be proactive in speaking up when something isn’t quite right with her body. This is accomplished by going into both middle and high schools all over western New York, spending time with young women in an effort to show them how to open up dialogue with the loved ones in their lives. We talk about not only the importance of learning ones own family history, but also to become comfortable talking about their own health.

Lack of knowledge kills too many young women today, and For Our Daughters, Inc. is on a mission to help change this. For Our Daughters, Inc. is aiming to play a large part in seeing young women all over WNY live long, healthy lives. Our efforts have allowed us to be featured in several news pieces over the years and in 2014, For Our Daughters received the “Community Angel Award” from Women’s Health radio.

Pink Neighbor is supporting the release of their debut full-length album, Time Beach Universe, with a live performance at Milkie’s on Elmwood. The evening of music will include support from local acts Derick Evans and Peter Kirsch.

More on Pink Neighbor:
Groovy. Intimate. Loungey. And of course, neighborly. These are the words Pink Neighbor embodies in sound and vibe. Based in Grinnell, Iowa, multi-instrumentalists Katie In and Erik Jarvis have worked patiently on their songwriting crafts since their teenage years. The deft and diverse output of Pink Neighbor makes this apparent, as they draw from the American Songbook, vintage global-psychedelia, lounge and film scores, and anything that makes for a nice thread in their sonic quilt.

He has been described as an artist of “radical hope and caring” (The Oberlin Review). His diverse output includes writing and recording pop music and music for films, to composing experimental chamber works for new music ensembles, to producing theatrical one-person multimedia performances.
