They've had great attendance in the past, and are looking forward to a full house this year.
Come out and enjoy some awesome jazz music along with scrumptious treats and refreshments.
Janet Root opened her art show of fabric art Thursday night at GO ART! called "Innovations." The show runs through July 6 in the main gallery.
During the show openings, Thursday, Valerie Antonetty and Katie Elia served as guest bartenders with their tips benefitting GO ART!
A mixed-media show by Lydia Zwierzyanski and Megan Peters (not available for photos) also opened Thursday.
In the bar, there is now a member's art show on display, including work by David Burke (top painting).
Today we're officially launching a new series, "The Batavian Sessions."
Though I've recorded a couple of live performances in the past few months and called those videos "The Batavian Sessions," those were really tests of the concept. Last month, we started recording area bands for the launch of this new series.
I'm a big rockabilly fan and a year or so ago I discovered a series on YouTube called "The Bopflix Sessions." I've watched all 200-plus of those videos, many multiple times. I loved the kind of web-native, intimate and immediate vibe of the videos and those videos, as much as anything, are why you've been seeing a lot more video on The Batavian since November.
We kick off the series with "A" Blues Band performing their original composition, "Shelby Swamp Boogie."
Here's an invitation to all bands in the region: If you can meet me at an appropriate venue (well lit and quiet) somewhere in Genesee County ready for a live recording of two or three songs, we will include you in "The Batavian Sessions." If you're able and willing, email howard@thebatavian.com.
