*This one you can’t miss!!
GABRIELLE LOUISE presents The Muse's Market,
Modern-Day Chautauqua
PERFORMING LIVE AT GROOVACIOUS - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13TH at 7:00PM
The Muse's Market intermixes Gabrielle Louise's social commentary folk music with the poetry of Panama Soweto, the journalistic photography of Sebastião Salgado, and the fine art of Jimmy Danko and Laurie Maves.
Interspersed at key moments throughout the production, Chris Garre presents environmental philosophy and sustainability solutions ranging from alternative fuels energy to the benefits of eating local food. It's an upbeat, varied show with a strong sustainability theme.
The Muse's Market is making its stop in Cedar City amidst a 5-week West coast tour. The troupe is transported on a tour bus fueled by waste vegetable oil, ensuring a neutral carbon footprint. A bona fide modern-day Chautauqua, Gabrielle Louise offers a production that creatively inspires, energizes, educates and, most of all, celebrates the community of citizens keeping the planet alive through art!
The art of local artist Brian Hoover will be featured, the Downtown Farmer’s Market and other surprises!
Gabrielle Louise, noted for her poignant lyrics and commitment to environmentalism, headlines the show with her folk/American trio. With five albums and three years of national touring behind her, Gabrielle Louise never disappoints.
Tickets are available for a suggested donation of $10, and can be purchased at the door, or in advance through the Muse's Market website.
Gabrielle will be on KSUU Power 91 at 1:00, Wednesday afternoon.
Groovacious is located at 173 North 100 West in Cedar City, UT. The show will begin at 7:00pm.
Come to be creatively inspired, energized, educated and, most of all, to join the community of citizens keeping the planet alive through art!
