Processes such as color matching\, measuring\, and photography are used to distill and transform the seemingly unremarkable minutiae of daily life. The allure in our everyday surroundings is revealed in my work through an intimate and systematic interpretation of color\, space\, and time. \nBIO \nRichard Garrison received his BS in Studio Art from the College of Saint Rose\, Albany\, NY in 1993 and a MFA from Cornell University\, Ithaca\, NY in 1995.

As I dip my toes into fantasy realms\, reality is never a safety net\, but just the bottom of the creative swimming pool. I take the viewer and myself floating to the surface\, as I seek not only to show the surface beauty of the natural world\, but also its timeless and bold nature. To stop\, breathe\, and reflect on the mystery of nature is to reinvigorate our intent\, and reflect personal restoration. As I extend the space of possibilities\, the act of such is merely a reflection of the natural worldliving simply. \nBio\nSeth Butler is a fine artist based in Upstate New York\, specializing in capturing contemporary landscape and fantasy scenes in bold color and decisive markings and patterns. American\, born in 1974\, Mr. Butler attended the UAlbany MFA program\, where his work spun off of fantasy subjects\, embracing landscape as a  conduit of information and the basis of future work\, without forgetting that creative interpretation as the vehicle to steer. \nMr. Butler works primarily in oil\, in a range of dimensions. He is currently working from a collection of nature photos taken on serene nature walks in Upstate NY. Color and shadow are accentuated to explore the abstraction of form combined with not-so-obvious color choices. The landscape sets the table at its base\,   allowing for new language toemerge. \nThe artist is inspired by Edvard Munch and Pierre Bonnard\, to name a few\, and by contemporaries such as Peter Doig and Shara Hughes. He is seeking a mutual conversation that welcomes all perspectives. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Top: (Detail)  Music is Outside\, 2025\, Oil\, 22″ x 28″Above: Trail with Dad\, 2024\, Oil\, 22″ x 28″Rolling Hills\, 2021\, Giclee Print\, 30″ x 40″Rejuvenation/Rocks are My Guide\, 2026\,Oil\, 30″ x 40″\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PMSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PM\nOr give us a call if you are in town.

Using 3D rendering software\, the artist creates elaborately detailed scenes of suburban sprawl centered on bizarre arrangements of cookie-cutter houses. Channeling both the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte and the filmmaker David Lynch\, Williams’ scenes are bathed in a glaring\, bright daylight that underscores the equally familiar and strange rules and rituals of modern homeownership. In the artist’s words\, “I’m particularly interested in blurring the line between dreams and reality\, creating sensations of strange tranquility.” The artist has noted elsewhere that there are “a lot of interesting stories to be told about the suburbs\,” and his method of sharing them is by first removing all visual traces of people\, pets\, and cars\, so that houses\, yards\, streets\, and sidewalks become the protagonists of his narrative. \nBio\nHayden Clay is a visual artist currently living and working in Frederick\, Maryland (USA). His practice centers around 3D digital art\, through which he creates surreal visual worlds that blur the boundaries between dreams and reality. His imagery is marked by a clean\, minimal aesthetic\, where simple natural elements are transformed into poetic\, otherworldly scenes. \nClay combines technical precision with emotionally resonant visual language. His use of pastel tones\, soft lighting\, and organic compositions evokes a meditative atmosphere.

Having started on violin at age four\, by age nine she was already leading her own band and enjoying a rising regional reputation as a top-flight fiddler. “It was a very welcoming scene\,” says Sara\, who released a live cassette when she was 12. “If you could play\, you were accepted. I learned a lot\, playing standards like ‘Tennessee Waltz’ and ‘Faded Love’ at grange halls and dances. I loved how those songs could tell stories and make people dance.” \nAt 16\, Sara dropped out of school and joined legendary upstate Celtic bluegrass outfit the McKrells\, recording two albums with the group and touring the U.S. and Ireland. “It was the best road education I could’ve asked for\,” she recalls about her McKrells tenure. “They’re all world-class pickers\, they have well-crafted songs\, and they really know how to hold a room. They taught me a lot.” Between accompanying other mentors — including Seeger\, on his Grammy-winning 2008 album At 89 — she made her solo debut with 2009’s Daisycutter\, a disc whose moniker eventually became that of her band. After an eye-opening 2011 tour with the U.S. State Department-/Jazz at Lincoln Center-sponsored “Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad” revue that took her to Kosovo\, Bulgaria\, Moldova\, and Turkey\, she and Daisycutter recorded 2015’s Waiting for the Stars. The acclaimed disc earned her enthusiastic reviews and comparisons to paragons like Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow \nLike Waiting for the Stars\, Northeast was produced by Daisycutter guitarist Greg Anderson. But while its predecessor has more experimental touches\, the new album is more direct\, more stripped down\, more driving — more Milonovich\, really. \n“It was [Bob Dylan/Levon Helm sideman] Larry Campbell who first brought Sara into my studio\,” says Grammy-winning engineer and Hot Tuna drummer Justin Guip\, who recorded\, mixed\, and plays on Northeast. “Being in the band and getting to know the songs from the inside\, I felt like I was really able to get to the core of her music. This album has a lot of moods: some swampy\, spooky stuff\, some upbeat pop\, some alt-country stuff. Whenever I listen to it\, what really hits me is how much Sara stands out\, as both a musician and a songwriter. That’s a pretty rare thing.” \n“When people hear Northeast\, I hope they feel connected to what they’re hearing\,” says Sara\, who was named 2022 Americana Artist of the Year by the Capital District Thomas Edison Music Awards (AKA the Eddies). “Like their stories are being written and sung through mine. We’ve all got stories to tell.” \nSo true. If only we all could tell them in the beautiful\, moving\, and melodic ways that Sara Milonovich does. Luckily\, until that day comes\, we have Northeast as our traveling companion. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Write what you know.

They play grungy original horn funk inspired by the after-dark variety of New Orleans street music. It’s a melee of horns\, super heavy drums and bass\, and your favorite type of chunky guitar riffing that leaves your bum shaking and your face grinning. \n \nHighly improvised\, kinetic\, effect-soaked horns create textural soundscapes with razor sharp horn lines. The vibe is high-energy and dance-focused – the rhythm section interlocked and syncopated\, keeping us in the pocket and the dancers moving.   \n \nInvoking the spirit of ’70’s electric experimental jazz pioneers like Dizzy Gillespie\, Cannonball Adderly\, Donald Byrd\, and Herbie Hancock and bringing in harder-modern avant-funk influences like Galactic\, Budos Band\, and sax virtuoso Skerik\, Oobleck delivers a one of a kind sound and energy not matched by many in the local scene.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “Sometimes they pump out the stone-cold soul-funk of the JBs.

Their sound is an explosive blend of rock energy and high-level\, nuanced chamber ensemble playing\, set within the frames of highly wrought compositions that balance adventurous\, no-holds-barred improvisation. \nNow\, in 2025\, Kneebody embarks on an exciting new chapter with the release of their highly anticipated album\, Reach\, set to drop on April 18 via GroundUP Music. This marks the band’s latest project as a quartet\, featuring keyboardist Adam Benjamin\, trumpeter Shane Endsley\, saxophonist Ben Wendel\, and the uniquely dynamic Nate Wood\, who simultaneously handles both bass and drums. Reach exemplifies Kneebody’s continued evolution\, pushing the boundaries of genre while delivering their signature blend of intricate composition and raw energy. \nThe album’s lead single\, “Repeat After Me\,” is already available for streaming\, giving audiences a first taste of Kneebody’s refined yet adventurous approach. Saxophonist Ben Wendel describes the track as a “cheeky song” that channels a Morse code-inspired melody through shifting harmonies and groove-driven intensity. With Reach\, the band showcases their ability to weave together complex rhythmic structures\, fiery improvisations\, and a profound sense of collective synergy. \nKneebody’s journey began in their late teens at the Eastman School of Music and CalArts\, where they formed deep musical connections that ultimately converged into the band’s distinctive voice amid the vibrant Los Angeles music scene in 2001. Since then\, they have garnered critical acclaim and built a dedicated international following. Their music defies classification\, drawing from influences that include 1960s free-bop\, 1970s jazz rock\, 1990s hip-hop\, and post-millennial indie rock\, all infused with a classical post-minimalist sensibility. \nThroughout their career\, Kneebody has continuously innovated\, earning a Grammy nomination for their 2009 collaboration with Theo Bleckmann on 12 Songs of Charles Ives. They have released a series of boundary-pushing albums\, from The Line (2013) on Concord Records to Kneedelus (2015)\, a groundbreaking collaboration with electronic artist Daedelus on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label. Their discography also includes Anti-Hero (2017\, Motéma Music)\, By Fire (2019)\, and Chapters (2019)\, their first full-length release as a quartet\, featuring collaborations with Becca Stevens\, Gretchen Parlato\, Michael Mayo\, Gerald Clayton\, and Josh Dion. \nWith Reach\, Kneebody is not just releasing an album—they are signaling a new era for the band. As they prepare to take the new music on the road\, fans can expect an electrifying tour filled with their signature unpredictable energy\, tight interplay\, and spontaneous musical risk-taking.
