Las Vegas ARTEXPO —Marston’s BRONZES

Great response!  Women and children were left speachless and men humbled stared at their shoes. I think that as a performer who for many years lived in the traditional classical world of music and then  found the real and immediate effect of live performance when done on street.  If I did not emotionally blow everyone away I was not going to feed my family.  My art has the same effect.  In your face with love, violence, romance, heroism and ecstasy.

Mardi Gras Carnivale NewYearsEve Dec 31 at the OCFair

Ξ December 12th, 2007 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Public Concerts, Upcoming Events |

Marston’s Live show along with the Battle of the Bands, Lover’s COve, Bourbon Street, Club Carnivale of Freaks, and thousands of masked wild screaming party animals, and society sophisticates(I guess I made that last part up)Ticketmaster or 714 241-9055 for more information.No entrance without mask or costume!…..Well not really but I want you to be part of the happening. The update is that I perform 7-10pm…..so I think we are going to try a grand entrance with the Dragon Knights(stilt performers riding creatures) and  then I would play a long set, take a break and then do the last set with the Dragons again for the parade exit. Carnivale link

I only wish we could do this gig at Israel’s National museum in Jerusalem. Full of 10,000 year old artifacts from Africa, the Americas, Oceania and the Far East.But I will bet ya that they have no Medieval Battle Armours…..(I am an avid collector……my upstairs is wall to wall….an armory)

Save the Rainforest Concert, Costa Rica

Ξ October 27th, 2007 | → 0 Comments | ∇ My Friends, Upcoming Events, misc |

So I blessed the sea thrice and my mount and I walked on water. 

The first time my electric cello was heard in the jungle. Nosara, located in the North Pacific near Playa Guiones is the site for this concert. Costa Rica is beautiful along with the people and I am thinking of living there but I worry that my armor will rust.

 

Bermuda-XLCapitol&thePGA

Ξ October 15th, 2007 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Corporate Events |

1st time for me and Bermuda was both beautiful and customs was extreme, each piece of sound gear needed a visa and a bond.Where I performed….the Dockyard, was a fantastic fortress, museum, and dockyard shown here. Great fortress at the DockYard.  This is where I performed.There are these great old buildings all over that are empty and with the 30million expansion of this area for cruise ships and tourism…….this could be  a perfect location for a famous sculptor to hang out in his studio/gallery and talk to tourist as he sculpts away.  Problem I see is that it is far from Malibu and tourist  would want normal bronze pieces, dogs, kids, golfers, etc,. …… I would probably do sea gods and mermaids!

Annual Native American Indian Concert, Poway Performing Art Center

Ξ October 28th, 2006 | → 0 Comments | ∇ 2006 Highlights, Public Concerts |

A fantastic concert with Native Americans from South and North Americas. I took my daughter Hallie in order to sell cd’s and felt odd that we were the only blonds(mine is mostly out of the bottle and I have no idea about Hallie’s) My grandmother was raised and schooled at the Cherokee Seminary for Women on the reservation in Oklahoma Territory. She would tell me stories about my Great Great Great Grandfather, Chief Bushy Hair! I am so glad he was bushy!My show was a hit and what a relief. I used a rear screen projection system and had great battle scenes going as I performed. I entered playing from the back of the auditorium in my armor and it was dramatic.As it was, it was quite the eclectic show with performance as diverse as acient Aztec and Reservation Blues.

Berlin, Germany

Ξ May 11th, 2006 | → 0 Comments | ∇ 2006 Highlights, Corporate Events, My Friends |

Boy, do I love XLCapitol. Paying me for a 10minute gig in such a fabulous city like Berlin. It blew my mind with its frantic construction of colossal Classic Empire buildings. My oldest son who was living in Budapest came to visit, along with my German friend Steffi and all here girlfriends. We went to the DISCO and danced the entire night…..boom boom boom boom…..the next day Hampton and I barely made it to the Helmut Newton museum. I was so completely pissed that I did’nt meet him and know him because his last few years(before his deadly auto accident) was right here in LA and Palm SPrimgs. The two places that I live in most
