First things first, I headed out to the NMM group show which included the works of Nomzee, David Brady, and Bendow. It was a rainy evening but this made for a good show, people huddled in together to enjoy the works.

Meet Bendow, He’s 15 years old and this is his second show… complete with entourage.

The show was rather diverse featuring assemblage, mixed media, digital media, etc. The painting on the above right is the work of Nomzee.

After the show I headed on out to Tangiers for a showcase. It was nice out there, the perfect crowd - not too packed, not too sparse. I arrived to catch the last two songs by artist Phil Good. The first thing that struck me about Phil Good was that he looked like he should be singing “Rocket Queen” but instead he was singing tunes more along the lines of “Lately”. Hard Rock look, R&B vocals… interesting. The dude could definitely sing. Right after his set came The Jane Doe’s. They sounded exactly like what they looked like. The band was super tight and played funky R&B. Although the musical genre is not my cup of tea, it’s way more interesting to me when I hear it live then recorded.
