Tell Me A Story: Finding Your Way Through Abstract Art
“Artwork allowing for inner exploration and to encourage sharing with others to promote community.”
by Rachel Q. Landers

June 2009 @ Inman Perk Gainesville

More about Rachel:

Rachel Q. Landers earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art, with a concentration in Scientific Illustration from the University of Georgia in 2006. She currently lives in Gainesville, Georgia.
Rachel’s artwork, by moving away from realism, acknowledges that viewers bring a lexicon of experience and concurrent emotion to a painting. She would like her artwork to encourage discourse – facilitating storytelling and a sense of community. This holds a significant place in her art and philosophy.

Tying together aspects of life and nature with spirituality, Rachel creates mystery, in essence – pos sibilities. When creating her art, she feels it is challenging as well as freeing to accept change and adapt to what emerges. By layering perhaps unusual combinations of shapes and colors which contrast and resolve, her work represents life with its undulating tensions– and sometimes surprising beauty. She wishes to broaden her outlook visually as well as in day to day interactions. It is an optimistic process.

Roy Schneider

Roy Schneider plays the Gainesville Inman Perk – June 8th @ 7 PM!

From www.royschneider.com:
“Roy Schneider writes songs that come from the heart, engaging the most diverse of audiences with passion, soul, humor and grit.
From a teenage runaway to an under-age union worker, a traveling Deadhead, a toy designer… Through national comic strip syndication, marriage, divorce, spiritual searches and parenthood (single and non), this guy has stories to tell. And with 25 years’ dedication to fingerstyle and flatpicked guitar, harmonica and vocals, there’s no better way for him to tell them. His sound has been compared to the likes of Willis Alan Ramsey, John Prine, Levon Helm, Guy Clark, Arlo Guthrie, Keller Williams and John Gorka.”

Eva!

From Inman Perk Coffee » Events:
Music Lovers Rejoice!  Inman Perk Gainesville is happy to announce The Friday Night Music Gathering!  Come join host Eva Gael and other local performers for an ole’ fashioned community music fest!  Music begins at 7pm every Friday night.

More about our host:

Eva Gael began singing as a toddler and has been singing ever since. She began playing guitar as a young adult in rural Old Church, just outside of Richmond, Virginia. Her early songs came quickly and powerfully, and immediately established Eva as a musical force to be reckoned with. In 1992 Eva moved from her hometown to the “new South” city of Charlotte, North Carolina. Eva soon began hooking up with area musicians for jam sessions and gigs. After a brief stint in a southern rock cover band with sister Etta Lea, Eva returned to performing her original material as a solo act. Eva is a singer-songwriter in the folk-rock tradition. Powerful vocals and acoustic guitar deliver an appealing blend of catchy hooks and intense lyrics. Eva was a finalist in the Charlotte Lilith Fair competition in 1999. She has performanced at Living Art, the Double Door, the Evening Muse, the Tosco Music Party, the NoDa Gallery Crawls and as part of the Women of Folk Rock Showcase, which featured an awesome cast of talented female songwriters. Eva has opened for Michelle Malone, Kristen Hall and Kid Sister. She’s also shared the stage with Christy Snow, Deanna Lynn, John Dungan, and of course the fabulous ladies of the Near Misses!
