Jason Ricci is one of the most popular harmonica players on the planet today. Listed in almost every top ten list of players on the internet today Jason Ricci is a polarizing force always in the spot light and on the tips of critics, artists and fans tongue’s everywhere. Through two plus decades of endless touring, TV appearances, recordings and the internet Jason Ricci’s style of playing is so revolutionary and influential that there exists an entire younger generation of players imitating his music, clothes, gear, and even stage presence. Nick named “Moon Cat” (a street name he once used in Nashville and New Orleans to avoid police detection) Jason has been an almost constant force for decades in the studio, festivals, club dates and press. Love him or hate him, through performing, singing, song writing, teaching, harmonica playing and activism in the fields of L.G.B.T., mental health and addiction, it is not an overstatement that this young, white, queer, skateboarding, punk rock loving, multiple convicted felony having Moon Cat from Maine is currently changing the world through music and education. Jason was a featured performer on Johnny Winter’s Grammy award winning CD ‘Step Back’ (2014) Has received multiple Blues Music Award Nominations 2009 – 2016, and won a Blues Music Award in 2010. Featured performer at the Rock & Roll hall of fame with Zac Brown & Tom Morello for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band induction in 2015 Jason has worked and/or recorded with Junior Kimbrough, RL Burnside, Nick Curran, Walter Trout, Ana Popovic, Cedric Burnside, Joe Louis Walker, Peter Karp, Sue Foley, and many others. “Jason Fickel & Ginger Curry can evoke sweet song styles of long-ago decades and can also drive your bottom and top chakras into blues overdrive with supersoul vocals and hurtmesobad slide guitar.” — Steve V. Johnson, Bloomington Songwriter Showcase http://jasonandginger.com/

Pictura Gallery presents Becoming, portraits by Rania Matar of girls and women from Lebanon and the United States. Matar was born and raised in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1984. Although originally an architect, she became a photographer after 9-11 because she wanted to tell a different story of the Middle East.

Pictura’s exhibit will showcase multiple bodies of work by Matar, each centered on the universality of being a girl and growing up. Her work is a collaborative dialogue that explores the complexity of female maker to female subject, and of womanhood on each side of the camera.

Rania Matar was born and raised in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1984. Originally trained as an architect
at the American University of Beirut and at Cornell University, she studied photography at the New England
School of Photography and the Maine Photographic Workshops. Matar started teaching photography in 2009
and offered summer photography workshops to teenage girls in Lebanon’s refugee camps with the assistance
of non-governmental organizations. She now teaches Personal Documentary Photography at the
Massachusetts College of Art and Design and regularly offers talks, class visits and lectures at museums,
galleries, schools and colleges in the US and abroad. In the winter/spring of 2017, she will be an artist-inresidence/
visiting artist at Kenyon College.
Matar’s work focuses on girls and women. She documents her life through the lives of those around her,
focusing on the personal and the mundane in an attempt to portray the universal within the personal. Her work
has won several awards, has been featured in numerous publications, and exhibited widely in the U.S. and
internationally. Her images are in the permanent collections of several museums worldwide.

========================
Battle Trance – Genre-defying saxophone quartet comprised of Travis Laplante, Matthew Nelson, Jeremy Viner, and Patrick Breiner. The group released their critically acclaimed debut album, Palace of Wind, on New Amsterdam Records and NNA Tapes in 2014 and will be releasing their follow-up, Blade of Love, in August. Performing the music of Laplante, the quartet crosses boundaries and exists loosely within realms of contemporary classical music, avant-garde jazz, black metal, ambient and world music, and challenges conventions of the saxophone as an ensemble instrument. Popmatters described Battle Trance as making “music that soars, glides, and dives to realms that few musicians have dreamt about, let alone touched… wonderful insanity through musical kinship.”

Early Life is a rock/unrock quartet centered around guitars and keyboards. While they may not be very active online, they’ve occupied the dark corners of southern Indiana for several years, gathering a thick mold like a fine cheese.

Sylvia and Friends Sing for Shalom! Two-time Grammy Award winner Sylvia McNair will be joined by soloists from the Jacobs School of Music to present another fabulous musical program called ‘Love Stories’. Sylvia has left an indelible audio trail with over 70 recordings that range from Mozart arias to the music of Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen with pianist Andre Previn. A new CD will be available at the concert.

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day and in solidarity with the anti-colonial struggles happening against the Dakota Access Pipeline, we will be showing Dakota 38, a film about the largest mass execution hanging in US history to be carried out by the US government. We hope you can join us for food, the film, and important conversations about (de)colonization following the screening.
