Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents The Bergamot

$15
If you can imagine Jack Johnson playing while Adele sings a jazzed-up version of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” then you’re just beginning to tap into The Bergamot’s signature sound. Jillian has earned instant comparisons to the voices of Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin, and Eva Cassidy, perfectly complementing Nathan’s vocal and guitar style, reminiscent of Dave Matthews and James Taylor. Classically trained, Nathan is a multi-faceted artist, fulfilling an impressive array of roles – including singing, multi-instrumentalist, studio engineer, producer, and musical arranger.
The Bergamot calls their exploratory musical style “Organic Pop,” and they describe their sound as a genre that “integrates catchy melodies and strong rhythms with the presence of an intimate, non-processed sound.” Their goal is to create music that flows naturally, without the pretenses found in mainstream pop music. Stylistically, they are pop infused with rock, jazz, and a touch of Motown. Pair that retro feel with some lovely lyrical imagery and you’ve got a fresh, fervent sound that bursts at the seams.

“Ms. York is jazz singer of cool composure and artful subtlety, as she demonstrates her beautiful new album, “Here with you,” Nate Chinen, New York Times.
Stylish and cosmopolitan, Libby York has a sound that recalls, without any condescension or gratuitous nostalgia, the slightly word weary, been around the block ennui of post war Anita O’ Day, Chris Conner, and Sarah Vaughn.
With her new album, "Sunday in New York," York provides evidence that she is ready to be considered among the foremost jazz singers on the scene today. She is obviously very much at home with a wide range of material, including two often overlooked songs out of the Sinatra canon - "All My Tomorrow's" and "In the Wee Small Hours." Recent appearances have included Philadelphia's Zanzibar Blue and The Vic in Los Angeles
This show is dedicated to Chris Nern.

Start Time: 7:30 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
In Shakespeare’s own lifetime, it was illegal for women to perform on the professional stage in England. Shakespeare wrote his plays for all-male companies of actors in which teenage boys played the women’s roles. For the summer of 2011, the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company will return to this tradition with an all-male cast production of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. Pigeon Creek will then follow this production by giving its female actors a turn in an all-female cast production of Henry IV Part 1.
Henry IV Part 1 is an epic history play which follows the exploits of Prince Hal, who rebels against his father Henry IV, preferring the company of Sir John Falstaff and London’s criminal element to his duties as heir to the throne. When the famed soldier Henry “Hotspur” Percy leads a revolt against the king, Hal must choose between his friends and his duty to his father. The cast of Henry IV Part 1 features Kathleen Bode, Heather Folkvord, Lindsey Hansen, Kat Hermes, Claire Mahave, Amy McFadden, Katherine Mayberry, Janna Rosencrantz, and Sarah Stark. Frequent Pigeon Creek actor Scott Lange directors the production.
Performed by the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Co.
Admission: $15

St. Joseph Presents Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff
Lake Bluff Park , Downtown St. Joseph
The 50th Annual Krasl Art Fair, presented by Schu's Grill & Bar, is the host of one of the premier art fairs in the country. Music and entertainment will be provided all day long while you browse more than 200 artist vendors. For more information call 269-983-0271 or www.krasl.org.
Dates of event: Saturday and Sunday, July 9 and 10, 2011, 10:00AM to
6:00PM on Saturday, and 10:00AM to 5:00PM on Sunday
St. Joseph, MI - The 50th Anniversary of the Art Fair on the Bluff will open with a “Townie Party” on Friday, July 8. The community is invited to attend. The Art Fair will be Saturday and Sunday, July 9 and July 10, 2011, in downtown St. Joseph, Michigan.
In 1962 a group of local artists met to plan and implement the first art fair. 90 artists and craftsman displayed their art, some hanging their paintings on a clothesline. The purpose of the art fair, which has not changed in 50 years, was to sell art. The Krasl Art Center wants to thank all of those pioneers of the art fair for their vision, perseverance, creative energy, and hard work. Because of their efforts, we have a valued tradition not only in Michigan, but around the country. The Krasl Art Fair is recognized as one of the top art fairs in the country and rated 25th in the nation in Sunshine Artist Magazine and 58th in Art Fair Sourcebook this year.
In celebration of the 50th year:
• We are proud to announce Schu’s Grill & Bar as our title sponsor. They will have a tent on Lake Blvd. serving lunch and dinner Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of art fair weekend complete with live entertainment in the evenings.
• The 50 years of Art on the Bluff exhibition at the Krasl Art Center. This special exhibition features art purchased from the Krasl Art Fair the past 49 years. The exhibition includes panels depicting the five decades of the Art Fair. A quilt created by the Berrien Town and Country Quilt Guild with scenes from St. Joseph is a part of this exhibition. The opening for this exhibition Friday, June 10 from 5:30-7:30PM is free and open to the public. Sponsored by Chemical Bank, the exhibition runs from June 10-July 31, 2011.
• Lecture “Original Art at Any Price” on Thursday, June 30, 7PM by Chicago artist Mimi Dramauer, who is an award winning Krasl Art Fair fiber artist. Mimi is a full time fiber artist whose work has been featured across the nation in galleries and art fairs as well as Crate and Barrel product lines. Join Mimi as she dispels myths about the costs and connoisseurship required for collecting and gives tips on how to start merging art into your home now.
• The Krasl Art Center celebrates the 50th Art Fair on the Bluff starting with the Friday Night Kick-Off Party July 8, 5-10PM. This “townie” party is a thank you to the community for supporting the Art Fair for the past 50 years.

• A 50th Anniversary sculpture “Inside Out” was created by local artist, Matt Kasewurm, using Whirlpool Kitchen Aid parts. The sculpture commemorates Whirlpool’s 100 Anniversary in 2011. This sculpture is located on the Krasl Art Center grounds and will be on display through the end of 2011.
• New this year is the 40 page Visitors Guide featuring an image of each artist’s work, information about the Art Fair, as well as ads from local businesses. The guides will be available in Jun at St. Joe Today and Southwestern Michigan Tourist Council.

This hilarious farce has Bridget staying with her Grandmother for the summer and soon discovering that her sweet Nana has been running a lingerie boutique out of her rent-controlled apartment for years - illegally! The soon-to-be-law-student Bridget is beside herself, but her grandmother's long-time friend, Vera, seems to find it all very funny. The problems really start when the nosey landlord starts poking around for a way to evict Bridget's Nana and get a tenant who will pay full=rent in there. Add into the mix a sweet police officer who's rather smitten with Bridget, and lingerie that won't stay hidden, and you've got a rolliking good time.
