Concerts @ Quadrangle: Soul Comes to Uptown

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It was an absolutely amazing 2009 and we've definitely got you to thank for it. In 2009 we saw the start of Young and Cultured, the kickoff of Concerts @ Quadrangle, and the introduction of some of Dallas' most talented (and in some cases unheard of) artists to the city of Dallas. We can not thank you enough for how much you have supported the arts community in Dallas, and we're excited to be able to bring you even more music and great art in 2010.

So, 2010 is here and we're back in action, bringing you some of the best music that DFW has to offer. First up for this month is local soul artist Eric Tipton on January 22 at 8:13. Eric's from a small town in North Texas who was brought up on old-school soul and singers like Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway. By the age of 17, Eric was singing before crowds as they swooned to his soulful blend of soul and acoustic singer/songwriter melodies. When asked about his inspiration, Tipton says he writes "about love, life, and music."

In addition, we have the privilege of welcoming local artist, SAMO4PREZ to Studio 2717. SAMO4PREZ's work has been seen across Texas and around the world and is influenced by his many travels across the country and around the world. We're excited to be a part of continuing to showcase great artist's work right here at home, and this is one artist that we are thrilled to feature. SAMO4PREZ has been creating for 35 years on a plane of imaginary existence. Traveling the globe from the USA to Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Romania, Paris, Mexico, Thailand, Japan and his former home for a moment, China SAMO4PREZ is an artist, writer, designer, activist, philanthropist and neo-reformed movement-ist (he's also a wordsmith). SAMO4PREZ has shown his work in galleries from California (his place of birth) to his new home Texas and many places inbetween.

SAMO4PREZ is also known as Ty Clark and is the CEO/Founder/Designer for Veritas Fashion and is a member of the Veritas Artist Collective and 5D Artists Group.
