Cooter and the Crawlies…?….a three piece band playing  progressive punk rock with some blues and surf influence.

It’s little weird and goofy.

Meet-the-Artists Reception and Gallery Talk

Thursday, June 21st, 2012; 6-8pm

Free and Open to the Public

BluSeed is proud to present the wearable art of Anne Heinz and sculptural assemblages of Michael Hart in a collaborative exhibition titled “Material Lab.” The display will be at BluSeed from Thursday, June 21st, through Sunday, July 29th, 2012.  A Meet-the-artist Reception and Gallery Talk will be on Thursday, June 21st, 2012; 6-8pm

Heinz’s jewelry uniquely combines handmade pulp-paper with metals.  She describes her work:  “The juxtaposition of metal and paper explores the impact of lines – an edge, a boundary, a path.  The curves of the metal are emphasized by the placement against the simple, geometric shapes of the paper.”

Michael Hart has been working in glass and photography for 30 years.  In a prepared statement, Hart describes his sculptural assemblages using found objects:  “The raw materials Iʼve used in this body of work make up a composite portrait of an artist. Each work represents a long lived relationship with the materials, their color shape, texture and the memories they carry and evoke. Distilling the ideas behind the work, through the use of these materials, has been my goal and motivation.

Thirty plus years may not seem like such a long time in the life of a human being, a tree, or a folk song.  But in the fickle world of modern music, where pop stars shy of their 21st birthdays often see their careers dumped into oldies bins, thirty years is a very long time.

So as David Tamulevich and Michael Hough celebrate their 35th Anniversary as Mustard’s Retreat, the same question seemed to burn among aspiring young performers and road-weary old folkies – why you guys? In searching for the answer, one word comes up again and again, the simple word “audience.”

Everything Mustard’s Retreat does on a stage is aimed at pleasing, moving and engaging their audience. Whether singing their own gentle love songs and vivid ballads, telling tall tales or offering treasures from America’s vast traditional song bag, a Mustard’s Retreat show always feels like it’s designed for the people who have come to see them that day, in that coffeehouse, school, concert hall or festival. Audiences sense this from the moment David and Michael hit the stage, are drawn to it like hungry kids to Sunday supper and reward it the best way they know how. They come to see Mustard’s Retreat again and again. And again.

“Mustard’s Retreat represents everything that is best about folk music. Their music is community music. It comes from our common roots and traditions, pays tribute to those roots and traditions and expands on them.  It is music that speaks to people’s hearts and lives and binds them together as an audience.”

-Garnet Rogers
