BIG SHERMAN NEWS!
**************************
NEW GREEN LINE VENUE
I am going to be booking shows at a new Green Line location at 45th and Locust. We will be hosting a few shows there in the summer, and then going to a regular schedule booking eight shows a month starting in the fall. The space will be set up more as a venue with permanent sound, etc. It will also fit about 75-100 people (more with tables removed for larger national acts) Its about twice the size as the Green Line on 43rd and Baltimore. As of November I won't be booking at any other venues.
LOOKING FOR PROMOTERS/ ORGANIZERS
I will be running the venue more as a director of the space. Meaning that I be looking for other promoters/ bands to run shows in the space. I am willing to walk you through it if you haven't booked a show before. We will be doing approx. 5-6 music shows, and 1-2 open mics/ poetry/ dj nights. I will have a few monthly/bi-monthly spots but also looking for people to just put on a show on occasion. I will also be looking for bands to book line-ups, and will have some opportunities for show trades. The way it will work is I will work with you in putting on the show. You can charge and keep 100% of the door after $25- gets payed for sound. We may take a small 10-15% after that from the door for shows that involve more work. We cannot charge for every show, and cover will be determined case by case, and keep in mind, we don't book anything too loud (as in metal/ loud hard rock/ loud noise shows) I book 2-6 months ahead of time. I also ask that acts that are playing not book other competing shows within 7-12 days depending on show. This may also apply to promoters.
LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS/ UNOFFICIAL INTERNS
I have been doing this on my own for a long time, and I need help! I need people to run shows, design flyers, post flyers, find acts to play, book nights, send mailings, update websites, etc. If you are interested please email me at
richardmwexler@yahoo.com
I am also looking for anyone who would like a more involved role in the running of Sherman Arts. I pay people when I can, but these opportunities are more of a learning experience.
HELP BUILDING LIST AND SITE/ EVENTS
I am looking to re-build the list. I went to a myspace model over the past year or two and have been trying to rebuild the list ever since. You can join here. I post a weekly DIY/ Grassroots list of events
http://groups.google.com/group/sherman-arts
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE WHO MAY WISH TO JOIN
You can also post events to the list. I ask that you send info about 7-14 days before an event. Also feel free to send me links to your band/ organization, etc. I ask that it fits in the loose category of DIY, Grassroots. Bands are exempt from that. send to
richardmwexler@yahoo.com

SAT JULY 26th
GILLIAN GRASSIE
Pop / Folk Rock / Jazz
Gillian Grassie (say: Jillian Grass-y) is a contemporary harpist/singer-songwirter whose signature brand of alt/pop has been described as “music that is sure to haunt you like a reassuring and melodious ghost." [Origivation] Her distinctive vocal approach, paired with a remarkable ability for storytelling, makes her first full-length effort, Serpentine, "a treat" [Philadelphia Citypaper].
Her clever songwriting is supported by extensive classical training in both harp and voice. Gillian's interpretations of traditional Scottish repertoire earned her first place prizes in five harp competitions and an invitation to perform at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival in 2001. In her youth, she sang with both national and regional ACDA honors choirs in such prestigious venues as Heinz Hall, Symphony Hall, and The National Cathedral.
Her use of the harp has prompted critics to call her “an innovator par excellence” [Ticket Magazine], and she has been featured in recordings with many artists, including John Legend, Jim Boggia, and Kuf Knotz. Grassie’s intensive instrumental studies of not only Celtic and Classical harp, but also Latin, Jazz, and electro-acoustic composition, as well as her collaborations with rock and hip-hop groups have paid off, and audiences agree that her accessible approach is successful in its goal of seamlessly incorporating the harp into the world of indie pop; “she makes [the harp] sound like any string instrument that has been a part of pop and rock for the last 50 years” [Music for America].

ASSEMBLE
Cabaret/ Pop/
assemble is currently a one-man project, but it was conceived to be a group. The music is composed through consistent improvisation, balancing raw passion or emotion with developed thought. This process adapts multiple styles while pursuing a cohesive concept. The project is an artistic and intellectual venture, but it remains soul-driven.
The sound of assemble is varied yet inherently connected. Ultimately, the music contains everything that is assemble.
