SUMMARY:Greenhouse Productions Presents: SUSTO
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nSUSTO will return with My Entire Life July 28 via New West Records. The 12-song set was produced by Wolfgang Zimmerman (Band of Horses) and SUSTO’s Justin Osborne and Johnny Delaware. My Entire Life follows their critically acclaimed 2021 album Time in the Sun which Holler said “provides proof that Osborne and his bandmates are an important voice in today’s conflicted world\,” while No Depression called it a “fluid and engaging listen.” Ink 19 said “It’s a great example of SUSTO’s ability to create true lyrical and musical masterpieces so fresh you simply cannot turn it off” while the Bitter Southerner named it one of “The Best Southern Albums of 2021.” \n  \nA season of drastic change is what brought SUSTO frontman Justin Osborne to the band’s new album. There was a divorce\, difficulties re-building his band after the pandemic\, and the pain and helplessness of witnessing family members struggle with addiction and mental illness. Despite these challenges. Justin ultimately found himself in a new landscape\, with new love and a deeper perspective\, all of which is masterfully projected into My Entire Life. As a whole\, the album documents Justin’s personal journey through highs and lows in his life\, with many of the details on full display. He narrates the demise and aftermath of an almost decade long relationship\, while celebrating the joy of falling in love\, and the hopefulness of starting over. \n  \nToday\, Paste Magazine premiered the video for the album’s title track and lead single\, “My Entire Life\,” a song with an urgency “to keep living.” Director Luke Pilgrim says\, “We at Sozo Bear Films ventured into the relatively unknown world of AI art. We took inspiration from the lyrics\, SUSTO’s entire catalog\, as well as Justin’s previous musical endeavors to create visuals that represent themes from his entire life. We used stable diffusion to create a mind-bending psychedelic experience. Stable Diffusion is a type of deep learning generative neural network with the ability to prompt\, render and process AI imagery.” \n  \nSave 10% with membership!

DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nDaniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage\, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band\, Champagne must be seen to be believed. \n\nThe story goes that Daniel first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a musical father.

SUMMARY:EQUUS: The Horse Rendered in Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:TANNER JENSEN\, RON TOAHANI JACKSON\, & KATHY TAYLOR \nJuly 8 – September 2\, 2023 \nOpening Reception: July 8 \n\nMembers’ Preview: 5-6 pm\nArtist Gallery Talks: 6 pm\nPublic Reception: 6-8 pm\n\nClosing Reception: September 2\, 6-8 pm \nEQUUS: The Horse Rendered in Contemporary Art aims to transcend conventions of Western American art\, placing the viewer in a liminal space to contemplate the threshold between traditional depictions and contemporary perspectives. Equus (Latin term for horse) brings together the creative work of three accomplished artists—Tanner Jensen\, Ron Toahani Jackson\, and Kathy Taylor—who share a kinship of mutual respect with\, and admiration for\, the horse: free and unbridled in spirit and form. \nTanner Jensen (Greenville\, North Carolina). Jensen has been enthralled with horses since she was a child; since then\, they have served as a muse\, the source of inspiration for her creative practice. “It’s a mystery to me why the horse lends itself to my search for understanding\, but it does. Through these animals\, I have learned to be a much better human being. They’ve taught me patience\, given me lessons about life and death\, lead me through grief\, and are a constant reminder to stay present and to delight in this miracle of a world” (tannerjensenfineart.com). Before moving to North Carolina\, Jensen was a resident of Flagstaff intermittently since 1976. \nRon Toahani Jackson (Tségháhoodzání or Window Rock\, Navajo Nation\, Arizona). Toahani is an artist\, photographer and animal rights activist working to preserve the last free wild roaming horses on his ancestral lands. The artist describes the intimate experiences he has with the wild horses that inspire his work: “When you sit in the landscape with the horses\, they will come up and surround you. They get close\, just a few feet from you. They are spiritual; it is a spiritual experience.” Toahani’s monotypes are one-of-a-kind ink or painted images\, created on a substrate and transferred to a paper surface\, oftentimes embellished with additional pencil marks or textures. Toahani’s videography of wild horses is displayed on the exterior of Coconino Center for the Arts during evening viewing events. \nKathy Taylor (Phoenix\, Arizona). Taylor reflects on the development of the horse as a reoccurring motif and as part of her intuitive approach to mixed-media painting and sculpture: “When the first horse emerged in one of my paintings\, it was no surprise to find out that these beautiful symbols of strength\, freedom\, and power were just what I needed at the time. Horse had chosen me! While I paint\, the horses meet me in that place where the invisible world meets visible reality bringing with them messages of hope and healing” (Voyage Phoenix\, October 18\, 2018). Taylor attributes her abstract artistic influences on her formative years living in Southern California in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:BLKBOK
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\nNeo-classical piano renegade x culture innovator. Born and raised in Detroit’s inner-city\, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III)\, grew up in a music-filled house and by the time he was 8\, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy\, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. When it came to music\, most of the kids he grew up with pursued hip-hop\, adopting rap names. However\, it’s no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK\, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. The tag is also an apt reflection of the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed\, neo-classical debut album Black Book\, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations. BLKBOK’s live\, high-energy performance is culturally reflective and seeks to entertain with a live piano based performance like none you have ever seen before. BLKBOK’s vision is to illuminate awareness for all\, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in the way we perceive ourselves and the world we live in together.

SUMMARY:Up Next Flagstaff: The Carbonics and Cameron Jameson
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\nUp Next Flagstaff is a new series at Coconino Center for the Arts that is proud to showcase local emerging artists. For its premiere concert in the series CCA brings to the stage two local acts\, The Carbonics and Cameron Jameson. This concert is Pay What You Can. Proceeds go to support performing artists in the series. \n \nThe Carbonics are an alternative rock band founded in Flagstaff in 2022. Their sound combines a pop sensibility with strong roots in folk\, blues\, and soul. The result is emotionally compelling songs with catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. They can fill a dance floor with an infectious bass groove or spin a contemplative yarn to a listening room. Hints of contemporary influences like Nathaniel Rateliff\, the Lumineers\, and Vampire Weekend can be heard in their music\, along with legendary songwriters from Otis Redding to Bruce Springsteen. \nThe band got its start when lead singer and songwriter Bryan Griffith\, an accomplished visual artist\, began writing music as a new creative outlet when all of his art exhibitions were canceled due to Covid-19. After the pandemic\, Griffith recruited lead guitarist Sam Williams\, bassist Mike Handforth\, and drummer Beau Santillan to help bring those songs and more to life. \n \nCameron Jameson is a born and raised flagstaff local who is bringing fresh original music through his band Piso Mojado and is now taking the stage with a solo performance! With influences from Ed Sheeran\, Taylor Swift\, and Jason Mraz he’s bringing fun acoustic music to every show he plays! \n  \nThis concert is Pay What You Can. Proceeds go to support performing artists. \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Paula Jean Rice 'Transformation & Transcendence' and Jihan Gearon 'TRICKY'
DESCRIPTION:Member Preview: 5pm to 6pm\nGeneral Public: 6pm to 8pm\nSuggested Donation: $10 \nJoin us for the opening reception of two incredible exhibitions. \nIn the Main Gallery: \nPaula Jean Rice: Transformation & Transcendence is a retrospective exhibition of visionary ceramic sculpture. The collection includes four decades of Rice’s work from public and private collections\, offering a comprehensive survey of the artist’s complete oeuvre. Presented as a multi-media exhibition\, the three-dimensional sculptures and relief wall-mounted pieces are accompanied with recent audio recordings of Rice sharing the stories and inspirations behind each series. The artist’s captivating recollections provide the audience with poetic insight on her life’s work. \nPaula Jean Rice is a nationally renowned ceramic sculptor and educator\, whose interests include the nature and mystery of the human body and our place in the cosmos. Rice is Professor Emerita of Art at Northern Arizona University\, where she has received myriad awards for excellence in teaching and creative work. Living at 7000 ft elevation in Flagstaff\, Arizona—location of the discovery of the dwarf planet Pluto—she is a passionate observer of the clear night skies. \nIn the Project Gallery: \nJihan Gearon’s TRICKY includes and builds on the artist’s November 2022 exhibition SURRENDER: Quarantine Questions | Pandemic Wisdom. Surrender – to surrender\, to give oneself up – was the key theme of that body of work. In surrendering\, Gearon is learning to believe in herself; give and receive love more deeply; foster excitement instead of fear; and transform bitterness\, isolation\, and ego into compassion\, wisdom\, and awareness that all is connected. \nBut surrendering can be tricky. What about all those parts of ourselves we don’t want to be\, let alone surrender ourselves to? What of doubt\, jealousy\, pride\, fear? How can we navigate those chaotic waters? Previous and new paintings will offer guides\, warnings\, and experiences through tricky situations.

In surrendering\, Gearon is learning to believe in herself; give and receive love more deeply; foster excitement instead of fear; and transform bitterness\, isolation\, and ego into compassion\, wisdom\, and awareness that all is connected.

SUMMARY:Going Up with Sara Schaefer
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\nIn her new solo show\, Sara Schaefer teaches you how to unlock your potential in this fake(?) seminar about defeating your hecklers\, developing your TS (thick skin) and achieving total perfect comedy success. No matter your walk of life\, you can make your dreams come true simply by Going Up! \n  \nGoing Up is\, on its surface\, a hilarious recruitment into the cult of comedy. But at its heart\, the show is a bold confrontation of a system rampant with abuse\, an examination of what it means to be a creative person in today’s world\, and Sara’s own reckoning with the tiny voice in her head that tells her she’s not good enough. Combining sharp joke writing\, scathing satire\, original music and incredibly detailed handmade miniatures\, Sara takes the audience on a wholly original journey through the darkness and into the light. \n“Spoofing the cult of comedy in the language of Scientology\, the wry\, incisive stand-up Sara Schaefer adopts the pose\, jargon and microphone of a guru in her new solo show about how to make it in the stand-up business…Ambitious and nimble\, sneakily personal with enough inside-baseball jokes to make it a must-see…” – The New York Times \n“Schaefer herself has done spectacular work in almost every discipline of comedy and almost on every level\, and now\, with that wealth of experience and acclaim\, is doing a perfectly biting satirical solo show on ‘how to become a comedian’.” – The Comedy Bureau \n  \nAbout Sara Schaefer \nSara Schaefer is a critically acclaimed stand up comedian\, writer\, and artist. Her Comedy Central Stand Up Presents half hour special debuted in November 2019 and she was the co-host of MTV’s late night show Nikki & Sara Live.

SUMMARY:Thunderstorm Artis
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\nFor his entire life\, singer/songwriter Thunderstorm Artis has stayed devoted to making music that strengthens the heart and awakens the soul \nA multi-instrumentalist who got his start playing in a band with his 10 siblings as a little kid\, the 26-year-old Hawaii native has since brought his warm yet powerful vocals and vibrant musicality to such endeavors as touring with Jack Johnson and sharing stages with legends like Booker T. Jones. After years of refining his craft and carving out his singular identity as an artist\, the Oregon-based musician has created his most captivating work to date: a genre-bending batch of songs built on both emotionally raw storytelling and incisive soul-searching\, offering much-needed insight into living with hope even in the darkest of times. \nBorn into an exceptionally musical family—his father Ron was a Motown session player who performed on iconic tracks like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller\,” while his mother Victoria toured as a backup singer for the likes of Lena Horne—Artis grew up in Oahu and started playing drums at age nine\, later taking up piano\, guitar\, and harmonica. Although he’d dabbled in songwriting throughout his childhood\, he found a whole new sense of artistic purpose after using music to cope with the sudden death of his father. “Once I started really focusing on songwriting\, I realized my music could bring healing not only to me\, but to other people in pain\,” says Artis\, who was 13 when his father passed away. Raised on everything from jazz to country to classic soul singers like Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye\, he immersed himself in sharpening his songcraft and soon began touring extensively with his older brother\, acclaimed singer/songwriter Ron Artis II. With his debut EP Haunted released in 2018\, Artis next emerged as a finalist on NBC’s “The Voice” in 2020\, in addition to becoming a mainstay at Wanderlust festivals throughout North America. \nIn bringing his latest output to life\, Artis worked in Los Angeles with producers John Alagia (NEEDTOBREATHE\, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real) and Jesse Siebenberg (Lissie\, Blue Sky Riders) and in Nashville with producer Dan Agee (Jessie James Decker\, The Cains). Spotlighting the stunning range of his voice more fully than ever before\, each song matches his nuanced reflection with a newly expanded sound. “There’s been a lot of change for me over the last few years\, and this music is an embodiment of who I am now\,” notes Artis\, who married his wife Faith McMaster in 2020 and welcomed their first child into the world in 2022. One of the first tracks penned for his new project\, “Take Me to the Fire” unfolds in soulful piano work and moody guitar tones as Artis speaks to the profound transformation that often follows times of struggle. “As I was writing that song\, I was looking at it from the perspective of my religion\,” explains Artis\, who’s dedicated much of his life to working in ministry. “There’s a lot in the text of Christianity about letting go of what doesn’t belong\, and stepping into the person you’re truly meant to be.” Another song deeply informed by his faith\, “Stand Up Eight” arrives as a bold and urgent anthem graced with potent beats and a searing guitar solo. “The idea of falling down seven times and standing up eight comes from the Scriptures\,” says Artis. “It’s about how no matter how much life knocks you down\, you’ve got to have the strength to keep getting back up.” \nA prime showcase for his extraordinary versatility\, Artis’s new body of work also encompasses the cascading folk of “Oh Little River” and the brightly soaring alt-pop of “Surprise” (a gorgeously expressed outpouring of love for his wife). And on “Wildfire\,” Artis sets his introspection to a spellbinding backdrop of tender acoustic guitar and delicate piano melodies. “Of all my new songs\, ‘Wildfire’ really shows a piece of my history\,” he says. “At some point in my life\, I realized I’d put up these walls to protect myself from the pain I felt after losing my dad. But as I got older\, the walls had become more like a prison. ‘Wildfire’ is about how we all need someone to help us burn those walls down\, so that we can find healing instead of hiding from the world.” \nFor Artis\, the work of writing such revelatory songs has become its own form of sustenance. “From a very young age\, music has been like an anchor for me; I really don’t know where it’d be without it\,” he says. “At this point I don’t go anywhere without my guitar—because if I do\, I feel like there’s a part of me that’s missing.” But for all the fulfillment he finds in songwriting\, Artis always keeps an eye toward the potential impact on his audience. “I believe that artists have a responsibility to explain what they’re feeling and put it into their art\, so that others can understand themselves better\,” he says. “So even though I hope my songs give people a better sense of who I am as a person\, I also hope the music makes them feel stronger and helps them to grow. I hope it shows them how to love one another\, and how to love themselves.”  \nSave 10% with membership! Members use TA23  as their promo code prefix.
