Adam Turman over the last couple years has become a household name as far as local poster artists and silk-screeners go. His artwork has shown up in quite a few places. Magazine covers, posters, on coasters and even aprons. It is amazing how much ground he has covered and he only does it part time, which probably means 30-40 hours a week. All while having a full time job and a family.
This Saturday he is exhibiting his work at FrameUps and Capstone Gallery with an open reception. Adam was kind enough to answer a few questions for us about his art and how it wraps around his life. Read more »

Lots O Stuff happening this fine Wednesday night. Some stuff early for us old folks who need to be in bed by 10, because I wake up at 5 am. Some of the others are for the late night folks as well so you won’t feel left out. If you schedule your night right, you can hit all of them.
Start out at the Art Happy Hour for Goddamn Lonely March, it starts at 4 and goes to 7.
Then head over to Shuga Records for Brianna & Cahalen. It starts at 7 and goes until 9. I have a music crush on Brianna, I believe that one of her songs is telling me she likes me.
Then starting at around 10 is The Sunny Era at The Red Stag. Have a late dinner and then enjoy the show.
Then for the late show check out Transmission’s 3 year anniversary at Clubhouse Jager. Get your groove on late into the night with Jake and his fantastic music selections.
Oh boy, what a night! If anyone does this adventure, let us know send me an email and let me know how it went.

From the cover art to the unique vocal styling, one would first think this album was meant to be a musical comedy romp. After listening and digging deeper, the music is a folky, rock vibe and the lyrics while sometimes whimsical also get deeper into a darker side. Read more »
