I have been toying with the idea of starting a “New Artist Showcase” @ the Palace for a while now. I want to give performers who don’t know where to start a chance to show their stuff.
I have a few variety artists in mind, but I’m always on the look out for more. any suggestions?
any genera. jugglers, fire artists, dancers, burlesque, sideshow, circus, magic, comedy, etc.
also included are solo/duo variety musicians although I’m going to try to stay away from huge bands as there won’t be room for them on the stage, they take longer to set up, and there are already many venues for regular bands.
drop me an email if you are interested and please pass this on!

EVENT: Black Ink & Bass
DATE & TIME: Tuesday, July 8, 7:30pm
LOCATION: Madam’s Organ
COST: Free
DETAILS: I almost don’t even want to tell you about this one. But I promised, so here goes.
Black Ink & Bass are an amazing duo. He plays upright bass like the devil, pulling honeyed tones out of it like a virtuoso. She joins in with the most luscious poetry that will move men and women alike. I’m typically not a huge poetry fan, but when I hear this woman speak, I actually have caught myself holding my breath.
All this is for the Women In Life poetry series.
If you miss this show, they will be back around in August.
and now that I have told you, you should stay at home. more for me
