SUMMARY:A Rock ‘n’ Roll Tribute—From Elvis to the Beatles—Featuring The Neverly Brothers
DESCRIPTION:A Rock ‘n’ Roll Tribute—From Elvis to the Beatles—Featuring The Neverly Brothers\n20th ANNIVERSARY TOUR\nSaturday\, May 4\, 7:30 PM\nCost: $32 \nThe Neverly Brothers take you on a guided musical tour of the birth\, near death and resurrection of rock ‘n’ roll from 1955 to 1965. You’ll learn rock history and be thoroughly entertained with their chronological song sequence\, stories behind the music and vintage wardrobe changes. Their energetic stage show consists of show-stopping renditions of early hits by Jerry Lee Lewis\, Chuck Berry\, Buddy Holly\, The Beatles\, Rolling Stones\, and more! \nThe first half of the concert pays tribute to the music created by the 1950s American Rock ‘n’ Roll pioneers—which by 1960 had become a distant memory but became the inspiration for the next wave of young rock bands from Britain. The second half focuses on the 1964 British Invasion. These are the bands that re-recorded the forgotten 1950s American rock music\, along with lesser known early 1960s rhythm & blues songs; recorded their own original songs; and pulled Rock ‘n’ Roll from the edge of extinction by re-inventing and re-energizing it for a new generation. \nEnjoy spirited performances of classics like Great Balls of Fire\, Johnny B. Goode\, Wake Up Little Susie\, Summertime Blues\, That’ll Be the Day\, Twist & Shout\, Roll Over Beethoven\, Satisfaction\, You Really Got Me\, Love Potion #9\, and many more! \nIt‘s not “moldy oldies”—it’s “old-school cool!” So hop aboard our virtual tour bus and fasten your seatbelts for an exciting MAGICAL HISTORY TOUR! \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE

SUMMARY:Marrakesh Express ~ a Crosby\, Stills\, Nash & Young experience
DESCRIPTION:Marrakesh Express ~ a Crosby\, Stills\, Nash & Young experience\nSaturday\, April 13th\, 2024 – 8:00pm\nCost: $30 \nA band dedicated to tributing CSNY is unheard of due to the difficulty in replicating the 3- and 4-part vocal harmonies that made the group international superstars. Marrakesh Express excels at reproducing their complex songs and cascading\, layered harmonies. The band takes the audience back to the late 1960s with musicians who bring an authentic hippie vibe and visual to the stage. For a time\, CSNY was arguably the biggest band in the world after the demise of the Beatles and is one of the most enduring and influential musical groups of all time. The band\, born in the turbulent years of the late 1960s\, released hit after hit that spoke directly for their generation. Their songs remain in heavy rotation on classic rock radio stations to this day. Marrakesh Express upholds the integrity of that music with its vivid and realistic performance of CSNY’s most recognizable songs. Featuring four harmonizing vocalists backed by a top-flight band\, they deliver a unique and energetic concert performing the classic acoustic and electric CSNY hits\, deep cuts\, and fan favorites. Marrakesh Express has played to tens of thousands of appreciative fans at music festivals\, theaters\, fairs\, performing arts centers\, and casinos\, including headlining the Woodstock 40th Anniversary Tribute Concert. The music of CSNY has stood the test of time\, and fans of the classic rockers\, as well as young people who are curious about “the 60s\,” are anxious to venture out to hear it represented live. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE

SUMMARY:Great Moments in Vinyl - Tribute to Prince -- 2024
DESCRIPTION:Great Moments in Vinyl – Tribute to Prince — 2024\nSaturday\, February 10\, 2024\, 7:30 pm \nIn the winter of 1980\, fans of The Midnight Special didn’t know what hit them when a performer they’d never heard of went strutting across their TV screens wearing bikini pants\, thigh-high boots\, and a guitar slung casually over his shoulder. He moved confidently to the beat. He sang in a clear falsetto. His outfit was electrifyingly androgynous. And his name was Prince. \nFew artists have presented themselves as fully formed as this multi-talented musician from Minneapolis. But Prince knew what to offer and where he wanted to go. Starting from a debut album on which he played all the instruments\, he went on to scale the pop charts\, break down racial barriers\, stir up controversy\, offer his Midas touch to countless other artists\, earn himself millions\, and shake a lot of booty. And though the movie Purple Rain and its hugely successful soundtrack album may feel like the pinnacle of his career\, Prince never stopped making music until his passing in the spring of 2016. \nJoin Great Moments in Vinyl as we pay tribute to Prince with a concert of hits and highlights from throughout his inimitable career…accompanied by stories of his remarkable achievements and exploits. This time around\, Great Moments in Vinyl features vocalist Eric Tre’von with Clarence Williams and Greg Woods on keyboards\, Aaron Weistrop on guitar\, Jonathan Reed on drums\, and William Lindsey Cochran playing bass and telling the stories. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE

SUMMARY:dATAPLOT: Shared Hallucinations
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception January 12 Postponed Due to Weather\nJanuary 12–February 2\, 2024 \n  \n“Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space\, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be.”\n—Walter Benjamin\, Illuminations \n“Did Briet mean that just as “art” is made art by “framing” (i.e. treating) it as art\, so an object becomes a “document” when it is treated as a document\, i.e. as a physical or symbolic sign\, preserved or recorded\, intended to represent\, to reconstruct\, or to demonstrate a physical or conceptual phenomenon?”\n—Michael K. Buckland\, “What Is a ‘Document’?” Journal of the American Society of Information Science \nThe 2003 dATAPLOT exhibit at St. Xavier University Gallery was an early investigation into a possible future consumed by AI writing\, art\, and crypto. It featured ALLOY\, a pioneering computer-generated book which described a cybernetic reality and meta-narrative where generative writing autonomously writes itself into existence. Also showcased was a wall of so-called Diamond Junk Reports\, a series of image+text pairs that asked the viewer to contemplate meaning-making in an era when artistic content can be easily and rapidly generated by computers and inserted into a deluge of digital ephemera. This foresaw the speculative and occasionally dubious world of web3 nearly two decades in advance. \nThis 2024 revisitation continues the conversation about authenticity\, but with tools benefiting from 20 years of development. dATAPLOT presents another series of image+text pairs from a museum exhibition about a latent civilization discovered by artists and archivists. Each museum relic under glass is carefully represented as tokenized digital art files and cryptographically bound to a unique keypair also included as hardcopies encased in envelopes meant for the gallery wall. The exhibit invites users to not only participate with but also embody and possess artifacts from this shared hallucination and artificial aesthetic. \nThe goal of this art practice is to develop techniques for creating plain text hypermedia objects as contemporary cultural relics\, aspiring to a level of significance and permanence comparable to that of ancient materiality. Perhaps this is one step towards the convergence of art object and document. Emerging from an exploration of latent spaces\, these digital creations exemplify a modern approach to preserving and reimagining a shared cultural heritage. The dATAPLOT project maps and articulates some of these aesthetic boundaries within the essence of humanistic inquiry\, reflecting the evolving narratives of our collective history. \nA technical aim of dATAPLOT is to produce a stable digital method for intermedia arts. Each artifact comprises a digital component and a physical counterpart which serves as the artifact’s proof-of-work. The digital component is a self-contained HTML document\, including the base64 encoded image. The content is structured within defined semantic tags which are then SHA256 hashed\, acting as an address in a type of distributed network. Additionally\, a JSON web token embedded in the document’s metadata includes the unique identifier and ownership claims\, ensuring each piece’s verifiability and distinct identity in a bespoke network of durable\, conceptual museum objects. \nMatthew Butler is a Research Manager at the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio in the University of Iowa Libraries where he works on such projects as the the Fluxus Digital Archives\, Intermedia Research Initiative\, and the International Dada Archive. He is an MFA graduate and former Bodine Fellow in the Intermedia Program in the School of Art & Art History at Iowa where he studied with Hans Breder. With over 25 years of professional experience in libraries and archives\, Matthew has developed a studio practice concentrating on an information systems approach to intermedia art. In addition to his role as research manager\, he also teaches university courses in digital art and humanities\, where he emphasizes not only creative practice but archival standards in student work.
