Dynamic Live Painters
Taking their art to the people, live painters are emerging as one of the more accessible and entertaining facets of our music scene, blending art and music, capturing rhythm and energy on canvas. Right before our eyes, live painters offer eye candy and inspiration for art and music lovers alike. Glide caught up with two dynamic Live Painters, Phil Cheney and Tovah Jacobson, about their onstage creation celebration.
MarchFourth Marching Band
rom the looks of it, the marching band in Prince’s halftime Super Bowl show couldn’t touch the fun factor of Portland’s favorite band with a 10 foot pole. Named after the date of their first gig, the MarchFourth Marching Band is a high-energy mobile unit of good times. Taking a Fellini-esque mix of Mardi Gras mayhem, Afro beat, Mexican hustle, sultry samba, big band, and gypsy folk to the streets and the club/ festival scene.
John and Peter’s – New Hope, PA
n the thirty plus years that John & Peter’s has been open, much has changed, styles have evolved, musical trends have come and gone, bands have come and gone, but not much as changed at the tiny New Hope club. John & Peter’s is a throw back to the days when Rock ‘n’ Roll venues were more than just bright lights, big stages, and flashy extras. John & Peter’s serves cold beer, plays the music loud, has small dirty bathrooms, but it is one helluva a good time.
