Anchorage Music Co-op Presents:Melissa Mitchell, Emma Hill and Seth Boyer

Artist Showcase Series
Thursday January 26th 2012, 7pm
Out North Contemporary Art House / 3800 Debarr Road, Anchorage, AK 99508

Tickets $15/$10 in advance at Centertix.com
Discounted tickets for Anchorage Music Co-op Members, students
All Ages Show

Anchorage Music Co-op and Out North Contemporary Art House announce the much anticipated kick off of it’s new Artist Showcase Series. Beginning January 26th, on the fourth Thursday of each month, the Music Co-op will bring a featured artist or band to the stage, away from the bar chatter and without the hum of an espresso machine in the background. These showcases will provide a long overdue bridge between the overflowing local talent and audiences that don’t seek out live music at typical Anchorage watering holes. To check out upcoming shows, visit their website: www.anchoragemusic.org.

This grassroots start-up expects these shows to sell out based on the theater’s limited seating (capacity is 110) and the fact that the Music Co-op is attracting the interest of the top names in the local scene. The Artist Showcase line up is booked solid through May including top notch performers like: Melissa Mitchell, Emma Hill, Evan Phillips, Kass Smiley and Meg Mackey. To be selected for a showcase, the artist must be an Anchorage Music Co-op member. This membership organization is a group of independent musicians seeking to support local artists in their development while creating performance opportunities. The group is an Art House Resident under the collaborative umbrella of Out North, taking advantage of Out North’s well established links to the community and their intimate theater, an untapped magical listening room.

"The Pre-launch show, with Marian Call, completely sold out," said co-founder Lonny Gransbury. "Not bad for an unknown venue in an off the beaten path part of town."

"I think Anchorage is exploding with local talent at the moment. There’s not enough places for musicians to play. Bars in town don’t offer music until often 9 or 10 pm. This is too late for anyone with an 8-5pm job and kids that are tucked in by 8:30," says Laura Oden, another a co-founder of the newbie organization. The Music Co-op is designed to link these dependent groups: musicians that want to play, and an audience that wants to listen. Another group often left out of the local music scene is the 14-21 crowd. By all accounts, the under 21 group has a capacity to listen, support, buy music and spread the word about up and coming artists, but they’re left out in the cold if they want to see live performances. The Out North venue is an all ages show, unless otherwise specified, and provides discounts to Music Co-op members and students.

The January 26th launch has been embraced by the Anchorage Folk Festival as a part of Anchorage Folk Week. This show will feature three outstanding musicians, Melissa Mitchell, Emma Hill and Seth Boyer playing in a round robin style with each singing a song or two at a time. All three of these performers will play their own original music with cunning melodies and jabbing lyrics.

The Anchorage Music Co-op is starting from ground zero and is looking for corporate sponsors and radio support. One such corporate sponsor that has already helped get the co-op off the ground is Bella Boutique, who is underwriting sound engineering for the January showcase. The co-op has a Facebook Page, which is geared toward both audience and musicians and a Facebook Group, which is intended more for musicians. Anyone, whether they are a musician or a music listener, can join the Anchorage Music Co-op by simply going to the Out North website (www.outnorth.org) and making a $15 donation with "Music Co-op" in the description field. The $15 annual membership fee gets members into shows at a discounted rate. Membership funds cover sound engineering, so that shows can be professionally produced and recorded and marketing so that materials can be professionally designed and printed.

Enziona Marrari was a recipient of the fundraising effort
that was part of The Artists Have Left the Building
Event held at the end of May.

We are still supporting this project.
She needs one last effort from art supporters to
make her goal a reality.
Here in her won words is what she is planning:

"I’m trying to raise money for an artist residency program That I have been invited to attend in Buenos Aires Argentina in the Proyecto ‘Ace artist residency center. I’ll be there for three weeks working exclusively on art! This will offer me time, concentration and mentorship. I am so looking forward to learning and growing."

THIS IS THE FINAL DAY TO MAKE HER FUNDRAISING GOAL. PLEASE HELP.

The Artists Have Left The Building…however, some of their stuff
is still there. We have cleared out the gallery equipment and

have placed an assortment of useful items that others can
use but that we don’t want to store in the former MTS Gallery
space and invite you to come by this Saturday for a final,
one-day-only-supplies-and-useful-item-give-away

from 12 noon to 4 PM.

That’s Saturday, July 9th
12 – 4

Come & Get it!

On Another Topic: A Rare Appeal

Alaska is often visited by artists from other cities
and countries. They enrich our environment with their

fresh ideas and new perspectives on our state.

San Francisco based artist, Christina Seeley, is currently here in Alaska and in the midst of an interesting
project that we want to call your attention to.
It’s called Markers of Time and we think you should

check it out.

We encourage all of our supporters to take a look at
her Kickstarter Project Site at:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/921562401/markers-of-time?ref=live

Check out the video and the press coverage links
on her project site and then join with other Alaskans
to help her make her goal.

She has raised just under 50% of her goal

with less than 10 days left in her Kickstarter campaign.

Act Now!
