When I saw Jessica’s incredible paper dress on display at the Evans City Library, I knew her work would make a spectacular show. We combined the idea of June brides and Harmony’s Annual Wine Walk and present, Days of Wine and Paper.

Both artists are known for their work in paper. Jessica is new to the Gallery. Jill is a regularly participating.

Posted on 05 October 2018 (0)

West Virginia loans us Todd Burge! Over the years, Todd has become a good friend and kind soul who loves to come here and play.  He has dedicated his life to song writing and music promotion. Todd’s songs are honest, sometimes abstract, poignant, and often funny. His guitar playing and harmonica accompaniment are superb. www.toddburge.com

 

Pittsburgh’s Bruce Hoffman will open for Todd. Bruce is well known in the area for his craftily written songs that either make you think or laugh or do both. He is the songwriter that John Prine comes to town to see.
