Butterfield Garage September Artist of the Month Printmaker Debra Mixon Holliday
2018-09-29 11:00 - 17:00, 2018-09-30 11:00 - 17:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
An Artist Talk, First Friday September 7th at 6pm. is an opportunity to meet the artist hear the behind-the-scenes view of her elaborate printmaking processes.
Debra is a life-long resident of Florida and grew up along the central Gulf coast of the state. As a child, she had free reign to wander her grandparents’ farm and ranch there. Those wanderings began a foundation of watching and observing the flora and fauna of the Gulf Coast and Southeast that now influence her art.
To create images, she looks to the small stories and the special-ness of the creatures and the environments they rely on. Plying woods, backwaters, and even her own backyard, she raids a treasure chest of line, color, pattern, and form. A variety of printmaking techniques, including monotype, relief, collagraph, and intaglio, are employed to bring images to life. Her mixed media work is enhanced with collage and drawing in graphite and colored pencil.

Rickie Lee Jones with special guest Anders Osborne
2018-09-29 20:00 | Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra, 32082
Two-time Grammy winner Rickie Lee Jones exploded onto the pop scene in 1978 and has made a career of fearlessly experimenting with her sound and persona over 15 critically acclaimed albums. A cultural phenomenon, Rolling Stonemagazine put her on its cover twice in two years, and Saturday Night Live gave her an unprecedented three songs for her second appearance. Rickie is both a character in the songs and the songwriter singing, defying convention with her sometimes brazen sexuality and the mixed bag of jazz, rock and what has come to be known as ‘confessional’ songwriter performances.
Her latest album The Other Side of Desire was written, recorded and rooted in the city of New Orleans, where Jones lives on the opposite side of the street made famous by Tennessee Williams. Produced by John Porter (of Roxy Music) and Mark Howard, this is the first new music Jones has written in over a decade.
Between the potency of his richly detailed songwriting, his intensely emotional, soulful vocals and his piercing, expert guitar work, New Orleans’ Anders Osborne is a true musical treasure. He is among the most original and visionary musicians writing and performing today. Guitar Player calls him “the poet laureate of Louisiana’s fertile roots music scene.” New Orleans’ Gambit Weekly has honored Osborne as the Entertainer Of The Year. OffBeat named him the Crescent City’s Best Guitarist for the third year in a row, and the Best Songwriter for the second straight year. Osborne also won Song Of The Year for his composition, Louisiana Gold.

Florida Chamber Music Project Presents Turina & Brahms “Tragedy of Passion”
2018-09-30 15:00 | Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra, 32082
The Florida Chamber Music Project is proud to celebrate its sixth year of providing a wonderful repertoire of chamber music for the Northeast Florida region. Although performances by small groups of musicians date back several thousand years, chamber music as we know it today reached great heights beginning in the early 1600s and continues to thrive in popularity in the 21st century. Often described as music performed in an intimate setting by an ensemble of friends for an audience of friends; chamber music lives on today through our musicians providing enjoyment for listeners of all ages. One of the factors contributing to the unique nature of these performances is the rich repertoire featuring one musician on a part. Within each composition, the technical skills and musical expression of each player contributes to an intimate musical conversation among friends.

Butterfield Garage Gallery October Featured Artist Nancy Hamblin Vogler Works on Paper
2018-10-05 - 2018-10-31
Artist Talk: Oct 5, First Friday artwalk 6pm
Artist Demo: Saturday, Oct 6 at 2:00pm
A diverse 2-dimensional artist, St. Augustine artist Nancy Hamlin-Vogler works in her backyard studio, near the Fountain of Youth. She began her greeting card company, Eastern Sun Printworks while taking printmaking classes during graduate school, where she earned an M.A. in French Literature. Infatuated with the silkscreen printing process, she began designing greeting cards, and printed each one by hand. Thirty five years later, her iconic card images are sold in stores nationwide and sought after by greeting card aficionados. The images have been converted to digital format and are now professionally printed with archival pigmented inks. Her designs have received five Louie Finalist awards.
Nancy’s passion for contemporary art is evident in her more recent works on paper, rendering still life, figurative and landscape subjects in her signature intuitive, observational, gestural style, where she uses her favorite materials: acrylics, charcoal, pastels and pasted rice paper elements. The abstracted content of her work reflects her worldwide backpacking travels, summer vacations in Cape Cod and Maine, and her studies in Buddhism.
Nancy recently received a Best of Show award in the Not So Still Life show. Her work can also be viewed at Plum Gallery, 10 Aviles Street and on www.EasternSunPrintworks.com.

Delbert McClinton
2018-10-05 20:00 | Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra, 32082
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love Delbert McClinton and those who haven’t heard him yet. Delbert is always working on that second group. Lyle Lovett has said, “If we could all sing like we wanted to, we’d all sing like Delbert.”
The multi-Grammy Award winning artist is at the top of his game with his 19th studio album, Prick Of The Litter (Hot Shot Records/Thirty Tigers). The new offering captures the balance of soulful energy and restraint that the legendary performer has been delivering in his live performances for decades all over the world. On Prick of the Litter, Delbert incorporates a variety of styles, and as always, just enough to keep him comfortably outside the traditional marketing categories.
Prick Of The Litter blends Delbert’s signature rhythm and blues sound with a newer jazz-influence inspired by Johnny Mercer, Nat King Cole and other legendary crooners. McClinton’s road band, Self-Made Men provide a hard-driving rhythm section, powerful guitars and innovative piano, accented by punched-up horns. Delbert’s definitive vocals and distinct harmonica licks bring it all together.
Delbert McClinton has been a leading Americana artist since before the genre was established. He has won two Grammy awards in the blues category for Best Contemporary Blues Album; and one in the rock category (Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group), with Bonnie Raitt for “Good Man, Good Woman”. Delbert’s unique musical style grew from his Texas music beginnings. Influenced at a young age by Tejano, Western Swing, Rhythm and Blues and War songs, he developed a signature sound that served him well.
If you’ve seen a live Delbert McClinton show, you will recognize the synchronized energy on Prick Of The Litter that comes from thousands of miles of playing together. Delbert feels that his current road band, Self-Made Men, is the best band he’s ever had. “Jack Bruno [drums] is amazing. He played with Joe Cocker and with Tina Turner for years. I’ve been harder on drummers than anybody in the world, but Jack is right there where I need him. Dana Robbins [saxophone] and Quentin ‘Q’ Ware [trumpet] punctuate the live performances in just the right places. James Pennebaker [guitar] is family. He’s been playing with me off and on since he was nineteen. Mike Joyce [bass guitar], Kevin McKendree [piano], and Bob Britt [guitar] are among my best friends, in addition to being in the band. Mike and Kevin and I write together a lot. We wrote most of the songs on this album together.”
2017 was also a milestone year for Delbert. In addition to the release of Prick Of The Litter, a biography is slated for release in September. He has also been nominated for Texas State Musician, a highly acclaimed state appointment akin to poet laureate.

Manon Sander at Lost Art Gallery
2018-10-06 17:00 - 21:00 | Lost Art Gallery, C-1, 210 St George Street, St. Augustine, FL, 32084, United States
Lost Art Gallery is excited to feature Plein Air painter Manon Sander at October’s First Friday Art Walk, October 6, from 5-9. The gallery will be exhibiting new images including local scenes recently painted on the streets of Saint Augustine. Join us to meet Manon and find that special painting that speaks to you!
During years spent studying oil painting under the tutelage of nationally known oil painters, Manon developed her own distinct style often described as “representational with an impressionistic touch.” Florida is a cornucopia of inspiration for this transplant from Germany. More important than the subject matter itself, is Manon’s goal to capture the effects of light and fleeting momentary impressions. Because she expresses this through her use of interesting patterns, luminous color, and luscious brush strokes, Manon continues to be accepted into exclusive painting events where she regularly receives awards and recognitions.
Ultimately, Manon aims to communicate her joie de vivre through paintings that reflect the color, light, and joy Manon feels surrounded by and is ever so grateful for. Be the first to view her fantastic new works of St. Augustine at Lost Art Gallery at 210 St. George Street in Saint Augustine (south of the Plaza).
