This project is being held in the North end, on the SECOND floor of the Lawrence Arts Center.
Over the last few weeks the DANNON ART project has evolved and more artists have worked in the space and it is changing daily. Please come out at any point during the Lawrence Arts Center hours to meet the artists and see the space and its daily progression.

Exhibition dates: January 23 – March 3, 2012

Artist include:
Steve Brisendine, Lori Bury, Mark Cowardin, Patrick Curtin, Clare Doveton, Matthew Farley, Jane Flanders, Rex Hausmann, Lisa Lala, Judith G. Levy, Emily Markoulatos, Karen Matheis, Kristin Morland, Jeromy Morris, Kaylyn Munro, Molly Murphy, Katherine O'Hara, Jeremy Rockwell, GF Sam Wagner, Darin M. White, Shannon White and Blake Wilkinson

Rex Hausmann will be creating a painting on the second floor at the Lawrence Arts Center January 23 – 27. At the completion of his painting, this temporary studio will handed over to a series of artists who will create new works, each leaving their works on display. Over the course of five weeks this space transforms into a melody of styles and mediums creating an exhibit that will only exist this one time.

Rex Hausemann lives and works as a full-time artist in San Antonio and New York City. Hausmann earned a BFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design. He has worked on projects both nationally and internationally and has shown and lectured globally. His work and large projects often revolve around identities found in communal and domestic contexts, tracing their connections
to religion and history.

… heck,the story of a creative life in mid America! (With a Whole Lot of Friends)
COMMUNITY!

An installation/exhibition by a Creative Community, in motion.

The idea behind this project is simple: exposing an artistic community to an audience for the audience to enjoy & participate. Much like Sol Lewitt had his wall drawings, people instead of lines create a mesh of relationships, metaphysically through e mails, phone calls. Eventually personal contact & a physical object creates a totem of the persons visit. The process is open to enterprising, yet simple boundaries exists: keep your voice within the specified space of The Lawrence Arts Center. The small space will begin to look like a small store, full of a verity of things for sale, with the space taking on the life of a studio too. The space itself & individual voices will direct the exhibition itself. The experience’s existence will changing every day. This a metaphor for the art of creative community, the people we surround ourselves with, the people we as human interact with on a daily basis & the trials & joys that come along with those
relationships.

Rehearsing the amorphous forms
A river and a cloud
My relatives I call them
And think of them often
They come to me in recovery rooms
They come without handles or angles
A true badge of the Real
Indefinitely they are
in the church of this-or-that
The carpooled Saint and the chauffeured Prophet
An experience here
A nuance there
Flirting the line
Absorbed in the form
A hardly found blur, the newest prescription
Like a system of ethics
Exposed to the air

> MARTYPARTY
[Dubstep, Purple, Future Bass | MartyParty Music | New York, NY]

MartyParty is a music producer and performer. Born and raised in South Africa and residing in Brooklyn, NY, his music runs the gambit from sexy hip hop to intense dance to dirty dubstep… sometimes pretty and soft, sometimes hard and dirty, but always emotional.

MartyParty started producing his own flavor of music in 2005 with the mission to change the monotony of electronic music by creating an entirely different electronic sound: more musical, more story telling, and more diversity in the beats. The result is a growing anthology of MartyParty music crossing over most popular genres into a rich sound he calls Purple.

MartyParty’s live “Purple Opera” is a seamless voyage through an original music collection taking the audience on a the roller coaster ride of emotion and dance. Intense bass, huge beats, emotional melodies and cutting edge sound design all come together for a wild trip – unique to every performance.

There are no “disks” and he is no “jockey.” Working without headphones using Ableton Live on a laptop, the ability to mix more than two channels creates an entirely new audio experience for the audience. The live set is a show… a high energy, intense dance party.

“I just want to make kids freak out and let loose – we all came to party – I make a party – you have no choice but to get into it – young and old – one thing is for sure, you’ll be going nuts.” – MartyParty

MartyParty plays MartyParty music although he will mix in some hot tracks from other dope producers…. “Because I love hearing the latest sick tracks on the big system too.” He then overlays his music with one shot’s, crunky acappella vocal samples, and brings it all together with his custom filter and delay system he manipulates live with a pad and slider controller.

MartyParty is always writing new music, on the plane, in the hotel, wherever. In his studio in Brooklyn he writes a track a day all the way to final master and releases it onto his website. The music comes fast and this is how MartyParty likes it. He wants his audience to never know what to expect in each show, and loves to play the new material for the first time for maximum effect. MartyParty live sets are always spontaneous and never choreographed. They are always different, depending on the crowd, venue, sound system and energy in the room.

“It’s all about experimentation and invention – that’s why I make music the way I do. The new tooling in digital music production allows me to sit alone in my room on my iMac with two KRK Rockit monitors and a subwoofer, and produce original music from the first chord, right through to mastering and release on the internet – in one day. This freedom and power make it easy to explore the limits of the audible sound spectrum, including sub bass, poly-melodic harmonics and sound design, with incredible speed, productivity and without complying to any convention. My mission is to change the way people think about electronic music and to bring the art of musical composition back into popular music. My dream is that I inspire others to do the same. We live in a digital world, I’m not interested in emulating anything that has been done before.” – MartyParty

Smooth Money Gesture is the culmination of years of musical experimentation, travel and friendship. Over the years the band has seen a few different lineups and has been honing in on their sound, bringing their music from the east coast to Alaska to Nederland, Colorado where the band permenantly resides. The core of the group has always been the Diminico brothers and lifelong friend and fellow musician Josh Gitlin-Rich. Doug Diminico plays lead guitar and sings alongside his brother Dan Diminico (bass guitar and vocals). Josh Gitlin-Rich adds his own brand of guitar and synth sounds to compliment Smooth Money's ethereal jams. Pete Goldberg, on keys and vocals (formerly of the band Gold Hill)adds a whole new dimension to Smooth Money's music with his energetic playing and gritty vocals. Scott Llewellyn on drums and Nathaniel Haas (formerly of Mountain Standard Time) on percussion and vocals keep the band driving while adding a touch of polyrhythmic flare to their unique brand of music.The quintet’s sound is rooted in rock and roll with elements of funk, bluegrass, metal, and electronica. Smooth Money Gesture's music has taken these influences and twisted them around with the individual band member's influences and musical presences, and evolved their own sound into a high energy psychedelic creation of their own which grabs the crowd and won't let go!

A Smooth Money Gesture performance consists of creative and unique originals, rich with vocal harmonies that always keep the crowd going. With the majority of the band members singing vocal and backup harmonies and a variety in song writing, instrumentation, and influences, SMG is able to take a jam anywhere at any point and if they feel like it, right back to where it came from! Taking the SMG experience to another planet is the job of Bryce on lights and effects. Bryce has been working with SMG, adding a light show that's as over the top as the music, and is an integral part of the Smooth Money experience. Sprinkle in the occasional unexpected cover or teases from bands such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead, and Phish, and you'll have a night to remember!

Smooth Money Gesture can be seen all over their home state of Colorado where they have graced the stage of many venues including Boulder’s legendary Fox Theater. Included in their ever expanding touring schedule are the great states of Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.

Split Lip Rayfield, Red Eye Gravy



The fire rages on for the powerhouse trio from Kansas, Split Lip Rayfield (SLR), as they celebrate the release of their new record, "I’ll Be Around." The new album showcases the songwriting talents of mandolin player Wayne Gottstine and banjo player Eric Mardis, tied together by the harmony and deep-bass licks of Jeff Eaton. Such songs as "Aces High," "Heart of Darkness," and "The High Price of Necromancy" will take listeners on a journey of love, loss, change, and dark powers, as they discover what lies in the mysterious minds of SLR. The song for which the album is named, "I’ll Be Around," serves as a tribute to the band’s fallen teammate Kirk Rundstrom, whose influence on the band and its path was great. Rundstrom’s legacy continues to live on in the new album and also the band itself as every live show is dedicated to his memory. Split Lip Rayfield has carved out their own genre of music with their unique sound and instrumentation. Often described as a mix of bluegrass and country with an accent of metal, no other band delivers the experience of the homemade gas-tank bass played by Jeff Eaton, sets the mandolin strings on fire like Wayne Gottstine, or makes the banjo sing like Eric Mardis. Together, they burn up speakers and stages alike providing an unforgettable experience. This is one trio not to miss! For more information about the new Split Lip Rayfield album, "I’ll Be Around," or live shows, please visit their website at www.splitliprayfield.com.

Leftover Salmon
Colorado’s Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass
“On The Road Again…2012 Winter Tour!”

Leftover Salmon is excited to announce the dates for their 2012 On The Road Again winter tour. The multi-date tour will find the band performing through the Rocky Mountain region and marks the band’s lengthiest tour since spring 2004. The On The Road Again tour begins February 28th and continues through March 12th.

The sound of Colorado’s legendary Leftover Salmon is unmistakable: fluid, loose-limbed, and simultaneously rootsy and daring. Fusing an unrivaled improvisational fervor to a dizzying combination of bluegrass, Cajun, funk, Southern rock, boogie, Caribbean, Latin, and jazz influences, Leftover Salmon has earned a legion of diehard fans, critical accolades, and a reputation as one of the most exciting, engaging concert experiences to ever hit the road.

The origins of Leftover Salmon are as intriguing as their name. The group was born in Boulder, Colorado in 1989, as the result of a merger between Vince Herman (from Cajun/Calypso/Jugband The Salmonheads) and Drew Emmitt (of progressive bluegrass Left Hand String Band.)

Leftover Salmon is back to their classic 5 piece lineup featuring: Vince Herman (Guitar/Vocals), Drew Emmitt (Multi Instrumentalist/ Vocals), Greg Garrison (Bass/Vocals), Andy Thorn (Banjo/Vocals), Jose Martinez (Drums).

The band has recently recorded it’s first album in over 8 years with producer Steve Berlin (Los Lobos). The album will be released this year. Leftover Salmon will also hit the road this year with some full length tours.

"We’re really fired up to get back on the road and turn up the slamgrass" says Vince Herman.
Throughout the course of 22 years, Leftover Salmon has performed music with such contemporaries as Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, David Grisman, Jerry Douglas, Del McCoury, Peter Rowan, Pete Wernick, Col. Bruce Hampton, Oteil Burbridge, Bill Payne, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, Pete Sears, Todd Park Mohr, Tony Furtado, Theresa Anderson, along with members of The String Cheese Incident, Phish, Widespread Panic, Yonder Mountain String Band, Railroad Earth, Little Feat and dozens of additional artists.
The band continues to break new ground with its highly energetic live performances and initiate new fans with each show.
