| Summer Art Show
Saturday, February 18, Noon-9pm
111 E. Main St. (next to Lime Leaf)
Free and open to the public summer art (sum'-er / arr'-tuh) noun. --is a practice based in the social world of "hanging out." Free from any academic or "high-art" intentions, Summer Art demonstrates the beauty that can be found in the common yet beautiful moments of summer life. From cannonballs to backyard games, Summer Art elevates the typical and ordinary to the level of the profound. It shows us that one does not have to be taken too seriously in order to make something provocative, intelligent, and beautiful. OVERVIEW The Summer Art Show is a one night only, all-day art exhibit focused on bringing a degree of the summer spirit and attitude to the winter season. This event will last twelve hours (noon to midnight) and will feature summer-themed artwork, poetry, and performances by HUB-BUB's artists-in-residence as well as invited guests. PERFORMANCES Every hour on the hour there will be a performance for the entirety of the exhibit. These performances will include, but are not limited to, poetry readings, musical acts, and feats of athleticism. Instead of having one main stage, the performances will happen in a variety of locations throughout the venue. VIDEO INSTALLATIONS Sychronized televisions and in interactive green-screen video installation will allow the public to both view the summertime perfomances of the artists-in-residence as well as actively participate with summertime imagery. INTERACTIVE SCULPTURE Interactive sculptures in the form of re-appropriated leisure sports will be provided by Spray the Hooray Non-athletic Games, the newest division of Goatmother Industrial. This subsidiary of Goatmother Industrial and its C.E.O. Mark Rice will provide a multitude of gaming experiences as well as video-driven marketing campaigns for these products that include commercials with accomanying soundtracks. MERCHANDIZING CDs, t-shirts, books, and games, all made by the artists-in-residence, will also be available for purchase during the exhibit. Each of these handmade products will be part of a small-run edition specifically designed for the Summer Art Show. FUN Summer is all about the good stuff. And so is the Summer Art Show. It is meant to be fun and interactive, and viewers will even need to cooperate for some of the exhibits. Because a person should make friends during summer, they might also make friends at the Summer Art Show fun and friends are peas and carrots--who else do you rely on to help you enjoy the day when it's rainy outside? Just because the sun isn't out, doesn't mean it ain't summer, baby! JOIN THIS EVENT ON FACEBOOK.  |

Peter Cooper and Eric Brace - 3/10/12 - Saturday |
8:30 pm - 9:30 pm |
| Peter Cooper and Eric Brace
at The Showroom
Saturday, March 10th
8:30pm (doors open at 8)
$10 advance/$12 door The body of work that Eric Brace and Peter Cooper have created reflects their literate sensibilities as songwriters, a love of harmony and wry humor, and their deep respect for the masters they're lucky enough to play with. Their most recent project, I Love: Tom T. Hall's Songs of Fox Hollow, was nominated for a Grammy as well as featured on NPR's All Things Considered and Weekend Edition.
Eric Brace and Peter Cooper have acclaimed music careers outside their impressive work as a duo. Eric Brace is the lead singer and songwriter for the renowned roots rock band Last Train Home, which has eight CDs and one live concert DVD to its credit, along with a recent release, Six Songs, which Twangville named Best EP of 2010. A former journalist for The Washington Post, Brace found a kindred spirit in fellow East Nashvillian Peter Cooper, who has released two critically praised solo records, Mission Door from 2008 and The Lloyd Green Album in 2010, another step in his ongoing collaboration with the legendary pedal steel Hall of Famer. Named one of Nashville's "10 Most Interesting People" by Nashville Arts & Entertainment magazine, Cooper is also a music writer for the Tennessean and other publications, a producer, and a professor of country music at Vanderbilt University.
When Brace and Cooper play together, it's something special. The pair’s 2010 album, Master Sessions, is a tour de force that made its way onto numerous critics’ “Best-of” lists. It features the instrumental work of pedal steel guitar legend Lloyd Green and dobro master Mike Auldridge. You Don’t Have To Like Them Both was released in 2009 and was a #1 album on the Freeform American Roots Chart, Top Five on the Folk DJ Chart, and Top Ten on the Americana chart. The opening track, “I Know a Bird,” which was penned and sung by Brace, was the #1 Folk song on its release and a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition.
Brace and Cooper record for indie label Red Beet Records. Their latest project is the Grammy-nominated I Love: Tom T. Hall's Songs of Fox Hollow. The pair gathered an impressive cast of singers and players to record anew the songs on Tom T. Hall's 1974 children's album. The record features performances by Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller, Bobby Bare, Duane Eddy, Jim Lauderdale, Elizabeth Cook, as well as Brace, Cooper, and others.
