THE ART OF THE ALBUM COVER!

I have the opportunity to teach one of the coolest kids art day camps ever.

THE ART OF THE ALBUM COVER!

It's almost as if this workshop was designed for me to teach it, themes which are near and dear to me. Music and art, so intrinsically tied to convey a thought or feeling. Parents, these are the gems your children should know about; artistic expression, multimedia techniques, what on earth that huge round piece of black vinyl is for...crucial knowledge!

The Art of the Album Cover PA Day Camp Workshop
Friday, June 7th, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at Museum London.

In this camp, kids will not only learn what a record is and play some, they'll create their own creative album covers! LP covers are an outlet for artistic experimentation and the visual image can sell the music inside. Young artists will gain inspiration from the exhibitions, and then work with pop icons to create personalized album covers using a variety of print media. They'll even go home with an LP inside!

Cost: $50 (supporters $45)
For children ages 5 to 12.
Call 519-661-0333 now to register.

Help instil a love for music and the arts in your child by registering them in this workshop.

THANK YOU!

Half A Dino & APK Live present...

Let me tell ya, Half a Dino organizes some pretty wicked music events and I want to spread the word about this great rock n roll show happening August 10th. I'll be closing the night with by spinning some vinyl tunes. There will be 4 bands playing before my set, so I'm likely to be on around 1AM.

I'm familiar with The Raccoon Wedding (soo much fun live! Great instrument line-up) and The Sea & City (Their sweet fabric covered CDs avec button are stocked at Grooves Records) and I had a listen to the other acts online and can say that this show once again features some amazing talent. I'm oh so glad we have venues like APK Live and dedicated promoters/organizers/producers such as Half A Dino (who will be releasing a compilation album later in the year. Keep your eyes peeled for that.) The poster for the show was designed by multi-talented super gal Katie Wilhelm.

Here are the deets. I have a few new records I got in Chicago, I'd like to share them with you. Come on, rock out:
