This began with a message from Marcel. I referred her to a space to support an art show for teens. Krista asked me if I wanted to use the space as well so I extended the show -added a couple artists and some musicians- so now we have a double all ages party. Common Thread Collective is playing my album on air and I'll spin a few new tracks at the show around 8 when the second half of the event begins. Ann-Marie Daniels has supported a string of RipStar events with great artists- now she plays live around 8:20! Frank Guiles may appear 9 ish and Mike Glendinning says he can play if Frank can't make it....and Steve is performing 9:30ish- all are locally loved musicans already and a few are getting national support. The events really about community supporting each other and having a good time. I'll be selling off some art at lower than usual prices to cover the events costs, so please buy a piece from me and any other artist you like. My good friend Sylvester Guard is on the show, Sal Rascati, Monica Laipple, and a long list of student artists are on the event. Wine by donation (bring some if you can for the Gratis pourer)...door is sliding $3- $7. Due to some VIPs coming you must be on a list or be tied to someone to get in. Reach out if you really are a fan of art and music please RSVP by AUG 3rd please by marking yourself as attending.

if I see strong support we can plan to continue Oakland 1st Fridays and present more opportunities as long as we fit the space. Would love to upgrade lights and sound:)
