Last December, CAFfeine hosted an exhibition in collaboration with local band Wasted Wine. The band assigned different original songs from their repertoire to each member of CAFfeine, who then used “their song” as inspiration to create visual artwork. The finished works included paintings, photography, beadwork, sculpture, and mixed media pieces. The evening of the event consisted of a concert performed by Wasted Wine accompanied by a dramatic unveiling of each piece of visual art as the corresponding song was played.
This year we’re teaming up again, but we’re turning the tables. Eleven visual artists in CAFfeine have given representative pieces of their artwork to Wasted Wine, and the band has written an original piece of music based on each one. The Warehouse Theater is hosting the performance on Saturday, November 14th. Doors open at 7 and the performance will begin at 8:30. The “inspirational” artwork will be on display in the lobby for viewing both before and after the performance, and appetizers will be served in the lobby from 7 – 9 pm.
During the performance Wasted Wine will play the eleven songs inspired by the artwork, and between songs they will give the audience some insight into the songwriting process and how their interpretation of the art shaped the music. Then they will perform an extended set of their older music accompanied by belly dancer Brandy White from Belly Muse. After the concert, guests are invited to gather in the lobby for dessert and an artist’s discussion that will include the visual artists, musicians and dancers.
Tickets to the performance are $30, and include beer from Thomas Creek Brewery, food from Saffron’s Sidewalk Café, and one Tomorrow Shall Be as Today CD, which includes all of the new music inspired by the art and a booklet with lyrics and full-color images of the artwork. There are also a limited number of VIP tables available.
