They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and ‘The Clements Brothers’ marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band\, ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band’ with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records. With roots\, rock\, bluegrass\, jazz\, and classical influences\, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice\, at once enthralling and intimate\, groovy and serene. They are joined by drummer Mike Harmon\, who joined the band after an impromptu late night set at the Ossipee Music festival\, and adds his unique roots-conscious musicality to the group’s evolving sound.  The trio is a fusion of each member’s unique musical journey\, and the result is music all its own\, filled with vocal harmonies\, instrumental virtuosity\, and a genuine love of song. \n \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/the-clements-brothers/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Clements-0192_edited-copy.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230802T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230802T203000 DTSTAMP:20260415T144359 CREATED:20230512T145923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230727T202932Z UID:7685-1691002800-1691008200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Three Quarter North DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 2\, 2023:Three Quarter North\n7pm: Eddies Music Award nominees Three Quarter North have performed at over 50 venues in and around the capital district over the last 15 years.

It doesn’t take long for this music to get you dancing\, clapping along\, connecting with the people around you\, and savoring the beauty of the present moment. You might start with curiosity when Uganda native Gideon Ampeire draws you in with a variety of traditional East African instruments that are rare and fascinating to US audiences\, including enanga (zither)\, adungu (harp)\, and kalimba (thumb piano) – all of which he builds himself. \nOnce your interest is piqued by the instruments\, you’ll quickly discover that there’s so much more to the band. Mike Cardozo (guitar\, percussion) improvises intricate melodic conversations with Gideon and dances through the beat with punchy rhythmic lines. Roston Kirk (bass) and Kade Parkin (drums) weave a sonic landscape that flows seamlessly from intense grooves to joyous dance beats to dreamy textures. Gideon’s vocals cut powerfully through the fabric or float lightly above. It all adds up to something completely unique\, yet immediately accessible.

DESCRIPTION:with The Switch and The Stony Creek Band\n6:30pm: The Switch is a rock n’ roll band that also calls on blues and funk influences. Known for their powerful and full sound\, they’ll be performing everything from Led Zeppelin to the Allman Brothers to the Meters to BB King to some originals. \n8pm: For 50 years years\, the Stony Creek Band has been one of the most enduringly popular musical groups in the northeastern United States. The Stony Creek Band has thrilled generations of fans with its high energy blend of rock\, folk\, country and bluegrass; a sound that has consistently defied description but is “a product of the landscape as authentically upstate as any Hudson River School painting or sculpture by David Smith” and performed in a manner described by one reviewer as “a ferocious ensemble attack; like a runaway train!”. \nThe Stony Creek Band began with the 1973 meeting of John Strong\, a folksinger/guitarist from the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania and Hank Soto\, a guitarist and songwriter from the Bavarian Alps of Germany. Along with a bass player the Stony Creek Band began life as a folk trio\, touring coffee houses in New York\, Vermont\, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. After moving to the Adirondack mountain hamlet of Stony Creek\, NY the band quickly developed into a 7-piece musical powerhouse featuring drums\, a rock guitarist\, pedal steel guitar and banjo that\, for a time\, was the little town’s largest year-round employer! \nIn the 1980’s the band evolved into its current 5-piece configuration which now includes producer/ singer /songwriter Dave Maswick on bass\, blues hall of fame member Mike Lomaestro on drums\, and noted bluegrass mandolin virtuoso Fred Lantz. Over the years\, the Stony Creek Band has made hundreds (if not thousands) of concert appearances including a live performance on international TV for the closing ceremonies of the Goodwill Winter Games\, an appearance at a New York State gubernatorial inauguration\, a February outdoor appearance at the 25th anniversary celebration of the “Miracle on Ice” (brrrr) and a live performance on NBC’s TODAY show with Meredith Viera and Ann Curry. \nOver the past 50 years\, the Stony Creek Band has evolved from an acoustic trio with roots in traditional folk and country music to a purveyor of American idioms\, and back again. The band’s music is the sound of mature\, seasoned artists who have outlasted the years and their own baser instincts to mentor and encourage younger artists\, enrich their communities and preserve and transmit a living memory. \nPresented in partnership with the Village of Lake George \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/the-stony-creek-bands-50th-anniversary-party/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/161684726_199941445265694_7879215992388258452_n.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230830T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230830T203000 DTSTAMP:20260415T144359 CREATED:20230512T185047Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230718T084941Z UID:7698-1693422000-1693427400@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Sirsy DESCRIPTION:Sirsy\n7pm: SIRSY is a rock\, pop\, and soul duo from Upstate NY. They write honest songs\, full of sing along melodies\, with lots of heart and just the right amount of sass. “It’s edgy-feel-good music that’s fun to watch”. (–The Houston Music Blog). \nThe Boston Globe call SIRSY “the little band with the big sound.” SXSW Music Blog says “SIRSY is NOT simply a two piece\, the sound they make is a head scratching\, WOW!” SIRSY is fronted by charismatic vocalist/ drummer Melanie Krahmer who has “one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear.” (–Times Union) At live shows\, Mel also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick & throws in a few mean flute solos too. Guitarist\, and Mel’s husband\, Rich Libutti plays a road worn and well-loved Rickenbacker guitar through a pedal board full of vintage effects. Live\, Rich also plays bass on a pedalboard with his feet. So\, these multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band\, despite there being just two of them. And somehow\, they do it all with big smiles on their faces. It’s clear they love what they do. And that love is contagious when you see them live. You can’t help smiling along with them. Their energetic show often includes stories from the road\, laughter\, dance parties\, and even Rich’s nerdy Star Wars jokes. \n \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/sirsy/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Summer Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/David-Malucci.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230831T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230831T120000 DTSTAMP:20260415T144359 CREATED:20230822T174521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230822T175802Z UID:10146-1693477800-1693483200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:LGAP at the Library: Jazzy Preschool Story and Art Time!

His 2005 recording Snake Charmer\, created a stir in the music world partly due to his organic\, original approach in blending two complex musical genres together\, namely jazz and Indian music. The provocative instrumentation of organ\, drums and guitar alongside Indian vocalist Kiran Ahluwalia\, is on one hand\, a sound grounded in jazz and yet uncommon in jazz arenas. 20th Century Guitar reviewed the CD as\, “One of the best examples yet of how to merge Indian Classical music with jazz…Snake Charmer really breaks new ground.” In 2007\, Rez achieved even greater heights with the follow up to Snake Charmer\, Bazaar. Bazaar continues the group’s journey through territories unheard in today’s jazz/world music scene.

His NY based quintet Bien Sur! released its first CD in 2010 with special guest Billy Hart. This album was included in the Best of 2010 list by Downbeat Magazine. Since November 2010\, he is leading a nine piece orchestra\, La Inestable de Brooklyn\, featuring some of the strongest jazz players in NYC. Their first CD\, Second Half (2015) was Nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Latin Jazz Album. In November 2014 Solla’s first symphonic work had its World Premiere at the Palau de la Musica\, during the Barcelona Jazz Festival and its US Premier at the Chicago Symphony Hall. 2017 took him back to Buenos Aires for the Premiere of the symphonic version of his Suite Piazzollana. In 2018\, he started composing for a new project\, the Tango Jazz Orchestra\, a 17-piece big band\, taking his blend of Latin American sounds and jazz to a whole new level of accomplishment. This orchestra released its first album\, “Puertos” on August 28\, 2019. This album won the Latin Grammy 2020 for Best Jazz Album and one of Solla’s compositions\, La Novena\, was awarded a Grammy Nomination in 2019 as Best Instrumental Arrangement. \nThe Tango Jazz Orchestra (TJO) is Emilio’s most ambitious project to date. A full 17-piece jazz orchestra which replaces the guitar by a bandoneon. This large ensemble has allowed Solla to take his blend of tango and Latin American music with jazz to a whole new level of accomplishment. The orchestra recorded and released its first work\, “Puertos\, Music of International Waters” in 2019. One of Solla’s compositions was nominated that same year for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement (sharing the honor with Vince Mendoza\, John Williams and Jacob Collier) and the full album was awarded the 2020 Latin Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album.

She sews by hand and works intuitively\, allowing the forms to grow organically into complex aggregates of color\, pattern\, and texture. The resulting sculptures gradually emerge as anthropomorphic and bodily: they droop\, gesture\, and hold space. Washburn’s work visualizes the patchwork of identity-forming and the complex joy of existing inside a body. \nJog your Memory is about the colors\, patterns\, forms\, and gestures that remind you of something. Sometimes those connections are strong and vibrant; sometimes they are fuzzy or choppy. Washburn uses the materials of everyday life to build up sculptures with distinct personalities. Washburn will occasionally incorporate the literal object or material from her past—or\, if she no longer has the thing\, will recreate the specific pattern or item in her own hand. \nJog Your Memory also marks the first time Washburn has displayed several of her hanging sculptures together\, a relatively new part of her practice. The hanging sculptures occupy the space of suspended items found in the home: hanging planters\, light fixtures\, and chandeliers. They are inspired in particular by her great grandmother’s front porch—a place Washburn remembers as sunlit and filled with many delightful hanging objects: flowers and bird cages and other intriguing things. Washburn’s hanging sculptures also serve the purpose of occupying the space between the floor\, the wall\, and the ceiling\, interrupting the exhibition and interrupting your thoughts. Washburn thinks of them as representing the way a memory can stop you in your tracks. \nAbout the Artist \nHanna Washburn is an artist and curator based in Beacon\, New York. Washburn’s work has been featured in publications including The New York Times\, Hyperallergic\, Cult Bytes\, and the Femme Art Review. Exhibition venues include SPRING/BREAK Art Fair (New York\, NY)\, the Dorsky Museum of Art (New Paltz\, NY)\, NADA Art Fair (New York\, NY)\, Wassaic Project (Wassaic\, NY)\, Munson (Utica\, NY)\, Sotheby’s Institute of Art (New York\, NY)\, and Rice University (Houston\, TX). Washburn has held artist residences at organizations including Haystack Mountain School (2023)\, Monson Arts (2020)\, Vermont Studio Center (2019)\, the Textile Arts Center (2018)\, and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Colony (2018). \nWashburn received her MFA in Fine Art from the School of Visual Arts in 2018\, and her BA in Fine Art and English Literature from Kenyon College in 2014. She currently works in the Curatorial Department at Storm King Art Center. \nThe Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets in Lake George\, NY. During scheduled exhibitions dates our in-person office and gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm.  If you need to reach us between active exhibition dates we are available through phone and/or email: \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George and LGAP members.

It’s a way to process and relate to the world\, like conversing with a person or chewing food. My first response to an idea or event is to interpret it\, to make it something I can see. A phrase like “drunken centaur\,” doesn’t go far on its own\, but by turning it over this way and that\, finding forms for invisible notions\, and inviting in accident and precedent\, painting becomes a space of illumination. It’s a way to get past words. In the open space of the page\, metaphors popup like sudden jokes\, fully formed and emblematic. Imagination here isn’t about escape or fancy; it’s a matter of engaging the mind’s eye as the primary interpretive tool. \nI use oil paints\, often making my own. It’s mesmerizing stuff that takes on endless qualities. It mixes so easily with the eye\, ready to become something\, making suggestions as if it has its own desires. Looking closely into it shows something of the mystery of substance and representation altogether\, of how the material world conspires with perception\, mind\, and knowledge to make up our experience. I pay attention to the vitality of the paint layers and the movement of the surface. There are moments like “ah\, I’ve seen that in so and so”—passages of paint that share in a lineage. \nI paint with a range of historical approaches not to mimic a look\, but as a practice. There’s wisdom in method and material. There’s richness. Technical investigation sheds light on and expands the creative process beyond notions of a verisimilitude or style. Painting is an outlook. Rather than just dressing up the ancients in modern clothes\, I see these processes as incisive analytical tools\, like finding an old hand-ground lens that still magnifies whatever it’s placed in front of. \nBio \nJeff Wigman has shown regularly since moving his studio upstate in 2006. His work has been exhibited in venues such as The Albany Institute of History and Art\, Albany\, NY; Opalka Gallery\, Albany\, NY; The Hyde Collection\, Glens Falls\, NY; Manifest Gallery\, Cincinnati\,OH; Bowery Gallery\, Manhattan; Good Naked Gallery\, Brooklyn; and Kunstverein Eisenstadt\, Austria. Jeff earned a BFA in painting and sculpture from Parsons School of Design in 1992.

Nightmarish industrial creations are set against images of grand mechanical constructions\, an off-kilter vision of technology. In my visual vocabulary\, the contemporary world of nanotechnology and genetic modification is retrofitted with collaged analog machine parts. Collages of mechanical humanoids and animals turn into printmaking\, animation\, and sculpture\, as I create visual narratives telling the story of a doomed robotic populace in a techno-dystopia. My current body of work investigates technology’s role in utopian movements. One branch of research involves fantastical narratives of animals\, plants\, and fungi seeking to escape Earth for a more sustainable climate. The other involves representations of the mythical jewish golem\, the original automaton summoned by magic to protect against oppression. Both branches seek to answer the question as to whether our technologies have made for better worlds or worse. \n \n \n \n \n \n BIO \nNathan Meltz uses printmaking\, animation\, sculpture\, and performance to comment on the infiltration of technology into every facet of life\, from politics and food\, to family and war. \nHis solo exhibitions include the gallery at Atelier Presse Papier\, Trois-Rivières\, Canada\, the Shircliff Gallery at Vincennes University\, Indiana\, Southern Illinois University’s Vergette Gallery\, GRIDSPACE (NYC)\, the University of Florida – Jacksonville’s Andrew Brest Gallery\, and Noise Gallery (OH). His international exhibitions include the International Print Center in New York\, the 16th International Printmaking Triennial Graphica Creativa Triennial\, Jyväskylä Art Museum\, Finland\, the Museum of Modern Art in Rio De Janiero\, Brazil\, and more. His art has been featured in publications including Art in Print\, Printeresting\, and the Mid-America Print Council Journal. His series “Strangling the Fascist Viper” has received juror awards from the Louisiana International Printmaking Exhibition and the Political Impressions exhibition at the Rochester Institute of Technology\, the Printworks Award from Artists Image Resource\, Pittsburgh PA\, and the Prix de Print award from Art in Print Magazine. \nHis current body of research involving ecologies has been included in an article published in the California Society of Printmakers Journal and exhibited in many venues\, including the Four Rivers Printmaking Biennial\, where he was awarded an honorable mention award\,and the Trois-Rivières International Printmaking Biennial\, Canada\, where he was given the Prix de Presse Papier award.
