Two-Timer 2010 Opening Reception and Rock Show Wednesday,  September 8th

The Second Annual Two-Timer Art Show opens at Mississippi Studios Wednesday  September 8, 2010  6pm – 9pm in the Mississippi Studios Foyer Gallery and Whiskey  Lounge with a FREE Two-Timer Rock Show to Follow in the venue at 9pm featuring  YLANG YLANG, ARCH CAPE and MEYERCORD.  Both events are FREE to the public!

Passionately curated by beloved Portland musician Rachel Blumberg, the second annual Two-Timer Art Show features a delightful selection of drawings, paintings, collage and photography created by 13 noted musicians from Portland and far beyond who are two-timing their primary craft of music with a dynamic array of visual art.

Show curatrix and multi-talented musician Rachel Blumberg (Mirah, M. Ward, The Decemberists, Bright Eyes, Norfolk & Western, Arch Cape) selected a handful of her  favorite musician/artists to contribute both artwork and their thoughts about the creative  process and struggles with the duality of being driven to make both art and music.

Two-Timer 2010 opens in conjunction with Mississippi Studiosʼ new Whiskey Lounge,  a cozy spot for show patrons to relax and enjoy a delicious beverage, housed upstairs in  the former Mississippi Studiosʼ office space.

Ylang Ylang
Ylang Ylang is one of Charlie Salas Humaraʼs newest bands along with Joggersʼ drummer Jake Morris and viola goddess and booking queen Caroline Buchalter. With nods towards the Minutemen and the Grifters, Ylang Ylang puts on a stunning and energetic show.

Arch Cape
Arch Cape is Rachel Blumbergsʼ newest project, where she emerges from behind the  drum kit to wield marimba, keyboards and her signature sparkling vocals to make her own brand of pitched -percussion heavy chamber pop featuring marimbas, glockenspiels, xylophones, melodic bass lines, and soaring harmonies.  This show  features the trio version of the band, with accompaniment by notable Portland musicians Seth Mankoski (Oh Captain, My Captain) and Michael Kitson (Y La Bamba).

Meyercord
Featuring the hearfelt and beautiful songs of Ben Meyercord ( Y La Bamba).
