Painter Lucy Burleson will display her pastels of landscapes from Colorado, France, Mexico, and around the country. She also expresses her art in the medium of oil and acrylic.
Saturday night music at Stone Cup starts up on September 24 with John McKay.? McKay ?blends the deeply personal insights of a man immersed in nature, places of the past and love with the political observations of a protest singer driven by the passion and commitment of a rock and roller. Prairie Scholars will take the stage on October 1. A couple of darkly poetic Texas folk playing driving, haunting rock melodies, the Prairie Scholars document their musical journey out of the flatlands and into the shadowy world in search of a home. Music of Chicago-based folk duo, Small Potatoes, will be heard on October 15. Self-described as Celtic to cowboy, Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso have been praised by Dirty Linen Magazine as ?polished, inventive, and entertaining.?
