Concerts @: The music is heating up!

We know you've missed the awesomeness that is live music in Uptown, so we're coming back for yet another Concert @ Quadrangle. Don't worry, to answer your question- we missed you too. Join us on May 14 as we welcome long-time supporters of YnC, Watching Cars.

The brainchild of brothers David and Collin, Watching Cars is a unique blend of homespun roots and understated pop that will have its listener unknowingly whistling melodies the next day. Both boys, Texas born and bred, grew up on a steady diet of Beach Boys, Beatles, Chicago, and James Taylor, paving the way for their love of indie pop artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Iron & Wine, and Pedro the Lion. Out of influences like these and a rigorous background of classical and jazz training came the duo's characteristic sound.

Watching Cars is a band that consists of brothers Collin and David Gouldin. For years the two enjoyed playing together in the rock band Ben Zephyr and decided that it was time to step out on their own. As David puts it, “there's nothing quite like being in a band with a member of your family. We have this unspoken musical connection between us that I haven't been able to find with anybody else.” With all the chemistry that siblings have, it just made sense that after Ben Zephyr, the two would come back together to work on their own project. The result is a well crafted set of tunes which highlight both the brothers' unspoken musical bond and the quirks of their individual personalities.

We will also be presenting some great information from an amazing organization, CLASP International. A little about them:

C.L.A.S.P. (Connective Link Among Speech-language pathology Program) International is a program that allows certified Speech-Language Pathologists to go into international countries where speech-language pathology is not practiced and provide graduate training to the natives of that country. The goal of the program is to provide self-sustaining programming that allows each country to pass along training to future speech-language pathologists.

As always, the night is free and the food and drinks will be there waiting. We're looking forward to seeing you soon.

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.

Concerts @ + The Boss Level= Epic awesomeness!

It's been a while since we've posted- we know that. But so much has been going on that we've completely neglected our duties- sorry folks. But, for those of you that dutifully and diligently (yes, alliteration is awesome) follow our ramblings here, we wanted to let you know about the fact that pictures from the last concert with the Boss Level are now up. It was a great night; the rain held out, the courtyard was packed and the food provided by Outback Steakhouse, Rocco's Pizza, and Baker Brothers was nothing short of amazing. If you missed out...you missed out.

But, never fear, there are many more concerts to come in the next few months, as well as the introduction of several new surprises (like our winter time drink to replace the much talked about Sangria). So...keep checking back here regularly for more information and updates, and in the meantime, check out some pictures from last month. Click the picture below to be taken to our flickr account.
