SUMMARY:TEEN WORKSHOP | Make Your Own Zine!
DESCRIPTION:Sunday June 2nd\, 11am – 3pm\nFREE FOR TEENS! AGES 13 – 20\nWHAT’S A ZINE?? A zine is a printed publication you make and distribute with your own hands. Some zines are comics.

All supplies provided. No previous experience required. Come with an idea in mind (such as a story\, a poem\, or favorite song lyrics)\, or just come as you are\, ready to invent on the spot. Anything goes. \nWorkshop will begin promptly at 11:00am. \nTAC is hosting a Teen Zine Fest and Summer Kick-off event!! Learn how to make Zines with Brian McMullen from 11am – 2pm (seats are limited\, register now)! Have fun painting on the graffiti wall with Jessica Hightower\, from 1pm – 3pm! There will be ART!

SUMMARY:THE GEORGE KRASL MEMORIAL CONCERT WITH JOE BAUGHMAN + THE RIGHTEOUS FEW - LIVE AT THE LIVERY
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 16\n8:30 pm\nLive at The Livery\nFREE and open to the public\nJoin us at The Livery for the “George Krasl Memorial Concert” with Joe Baughman + The Righteous Few\, presented by Krasl Art Center! \nThis will be in conjunction with the opening of Joe’s exhibit\, The Stop-Motion Worlds of Joe Baughman\, and is open to the community! \nPlaying an amorphous variety of folk-rock that incorporates elements of indie\, funk\, gospel\, etc.\, JB+RF is an ensemble of musician-friends led by singer-songwriter and filmmaker Joe Baughman. Equally influenced by the sacred and profane\, JB+RF’s music takes color from daily Middle American existence\, personal sadsackery\, religious imagery\, and Joe’s experience as a freelance artist. \nTheir new album – Antichrist Complex – was released in 2022\, and it received acclaim from Glide Magazine and The Bluegrass Situation. On top of that\, the music video for “Vacant Spaces” – the second single off the album – won “Best National Music Video” at the Indie Memphis Film Festival. \nJoe started off as a solo act in 2011\, and from banjo\, to bass\, to brass\, he almost exclusively handled all of the musical duties on his early recordings (except for his – brother Mike on drums/percussion). Under the enigmatic stage persona of Roscoe Baggins\, Joe started The Flying DeSelms in 2016 — a project that allowed him to explore a “rockier” sound with Mike and Bryan Lewis (Bailey Williams & The Cherranes\, Every Mother\, The Golden Mallard). In order to emulate that heavier sound of The Flying DeSelms live\, Joe recruited the aforementioned and others to accompany him as they played shows in the South Bend scene. Some stuck around to back Joe as he simultaneously performed under his own name\, culminating in the collaborative sessions of 2019 EP\, Vacant Spaces\, and The Righteous Few was “born.” \nJB+RF is based out of South Bend\, Indiana but have played all over the Midwest.  \n‍ \nThe Band \nJOE BAUGHMAN – vocals\, piano\, guitar\, harmonica \nMIKE BAUGHMAN – drums \nMARTIN UFKIN – bass guitar\, background vocals \nSAM LIMA – electric guitar\, mandolin\, background vocals \nMICHAEL CUNNINGHAM – saxophone \nBRYAN LEWIS – synth
