OLYMPIA MUSICIANS PARTNER WITH CRISIS CLINIC

Local music release to benefit vital non-profit

OLYMPIA, Washington (May 18, 2011) The Crisis Clinic of Thurston and Mason Counties is partnering with Olympia musicians to create an album of local music as a fundraiser for Crisis Clinic services.   More than twelve Olympia musicians and bands have offered their recordings to the project, including Baker London, Kendl Winter, Pitted Youth, Hot Rush, Angelo Spencer, Matty Harris, Hari Kari, The Family Stoned, Margy Pepper, The Blackberry Bushes Stringband and Eleanor Murray.  Artist Nikki McClure has donated artwork.

While many have donated their art to this project, it needs community support to proceed.  Funds for printing are being raised on Kickstarter.com, a funding platform for artistic projects.  On Kickstarter, an individual (or “backer”) pledges a certain amount to help fund a project; the project is only funded (and backers are only charged) if the project reaches its funding goal by a certain date.  This project, Shot in Time: Olympia Music 2011, needs $475 by June 6th in order to receive funds.  All backers receive a reward; for example, the reward for a $10 donation is a copy of the album.

To back this project, please go to Kickstarter.com and search “Olympia music”, or visit: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rosieharris/shot-in-time-olympia-music-2011?ref=live

Flowers Without Roots: a critical yet celebratory look at being lost, feeling mixed-up, and not having answers.

Join us for an evening of cob oven pizza, music, poetry, and film we have put together as a benefit for Land of the Lost (lotlmovie.com), an independent feature film being made in Olympia.

Neal Marks, Tripp Talley, Brandon Boyd, and Giselle Garcia start the evening with a musical serenading session to aid your digestion. Liz Donahue, Sophie Gordon, and Lucy Hulbert will then read an assortment of their recent favorite works of poetry. We will then close with In Pursuit of Panama (inpursuitofpanama.com), a documentary about two life-long friends who embark on a seven-country road trip and document the endeavor in a struggle to recapture the clear and simple spirit of their childhood, and find its proper place, if any, in their emerging adulthood.

$10 for all the magic three hours can hold. Begins at 7:30pm at Fertile Ground (311 9th Ave, Olympia). June 5th.

Ghost Bees (amazing spooky folk-twins from halifax, nova scotia!)
