9/7 Bluesday Tuesday w Tony Airoldi and Jimi Lee and ?

Last time Tony Airoldi played at Bluesday Tuesday, he’d stopped by to sit in with his long-time friend Steve Carter.

It sounded so good nobody wanted him to leave and it made for a most memorable evening.

This time around, Tony’s back as the featured guest and we suspect friend Steve Carter may return the favor and sit in, or any of Tony’s long-time musical pals from Austin (as one might expect for musician who was once a member of the Armadillo World Headquarters’ house band).

His current location on the musical highway finds Tony at a place influenced strongly by Djano Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Not a bad duo to be hanging out with musically.

Come hear Tony, Jimi Lee and who knows whoever else the winds bring in on Tuesday, Sept 7.

8/31 Bluesday Tuesday with Jimi Lee featuring Whitey Conwell

lucy — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:06:40 +0000

Okay Hyde Parkers, it’s time for another new face and sound! Accompanying Jimi Lee on Tuesday is Whitey Conwell. Jimi’s just one of those guys with a sixth sense for who’s good and who you oughta know.

Whitey Conwell plays a lot of instruments. But not all at once.

Richard Meltzer of the San Diego Reader says Whitey’s “…an ace of a blues/rock/rockabilly guitarist, Whitey sings/speaks/croaks with a voice from the timeless land of cigareets (sic) and whiskey, and at least the memory of wild, wild wimmen (sic)…”. Life – The daily Dose informs his every move, gives even his rigor a flexibilty, a subtle nuance, a shading.”

Sounds good to us. Just one question: Did his mamma name him “Whitey?” You’ll have to come to the show to find out!

8/4 Art Party for Felice House & Dana Younger

lucy — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:17:26 +0000

We have two new artists coming to Hyde Park Duval to show us their skills. Meet Felice House and Dana Younger. Two amazing artists with extraordinary talent.

Felice fell in love with color and representation as a high school student in the woods of British Columbia. She then traveled to Canada for shows. She ended her time in Canada with a solo show entitled “PUTTING IT ON…and taking it off”. In this show she used painting, printmaking and installation to exaggerate classical ideas of femininity to the point of comedy. Each piece provided an in-depth look at the way that society molds females’ expectations of themselves. Felice started Housepaintings Studio, an artists’ space in downtown Bryan, Texas. Through the studio Felice began to teach weekly drawing and painting classes as well as weekend workshops.

Dana Younger, VP of Blue Genie Art, is truly a man for all seasons.
Besides being a painter, sculptor, mold maker, and computer artist, Dana is one of the chief innovators at Blue Genie Art. His fascination with the creative process and all types of materials keeps Blue Genie Art on the cutting edge. Essentially, he is a one man research and development team. However his art is what makes him memorable. His talents include oil paintings, digital art, encaustics and acrylic paintings. There are a variety of styles: figurative work, abstract expressionism digital art and landscapes. Whatever he creates is sure to be beautiful, deep and unique.

Are you ready to be impressed? Hyde Park is fortunate enough to have a VERY talented musician coming to play for Bluesday Tuesday on August 10th! Is your interest peaked? We thought so.

His name is Mark Campbell and he does practically everything with master skill. Whether it’s blues, country, or even Latin music, he plays with conviction and soul on his guitar or piano. He started Soulshaker after highschool but has lately been playing weddings. However he still strives for that elusive sound , the ultimate goal of making music “magic”.
