Dualing Jazz

Fredly concentrates

Eyob makes a mess

I don’t know what I’m doing

The Color of Sound – Music Inspires Art is an interactive concert featuring local visual artists and musicians.
 
Four talented Sioux Falls artists, Scott L. Ehrisman, Hope Happeny, Eyob Mergia & Jamie Scarbrough, will create several paintings on canvas while listening to the region’s premier Jazz and Blues Bands — Dakota Jazz Collective & Urban Blues. The five-hour event includes three 45-minute sets of unique performance art. After the event, the paintings will be available for sale. A DVD of the event will be available in the following weeks.

“We have high expectations for this film as a public educational tool,” Sioux Falls artist Scott Ehrisman said.  “The Color of Sound – Music Inspires Art is being independently produced by the artists and musicians involved. We are very proud of this aspect.”  “This event will exhibit the relationship between visual art and music,” Eyob Mergia said, “and hopefully evoke cultural awareness by presenting the artistic diversity in our community.”

Oh, BTW, I’m 34 today. 16 more years and I’ll be a perverted old man.
