exhibit page
The outdoors have long been an inspiration for artists and probably will be forever. Over time, our interactions with and understanding of nature have changed. Today's artists create new genres in response to our diverse concerns while honoring the artworks that have come before them. Open Air brings together five artists enthralled by the world outside their front doors.

ARTISTS: Matthew Best, Nathalie Miebach, Carolyn Muskat, Ted Ollier, Jason Shoemaker

Wisteriax (gothic cello music)
Karen Langlie mixes the organic sounds of cello with electronics and effects to conjure improvisational soundscapes. The results of this union are sometimes as unexpected to her as they are to the listener. She has collaborated with many Boston-based musicians in live and recorded sessions.

Astro Al (psychedelic Ed Wood music)
Astro Al is a B scifi/horror movie freakout band. Weirdness that has to be seen and heard.

Tim Mungenast & His Preexisting Conditions (retro goat rock)
In this psychedelic power trio, scene veteran Tim Mungenast (egged on by Cul de Sac survivors Michael Bloom on bass and Jon Proudman on drums) uses his guitar, voice, and effects pedals to search for truth, justice, and mystic transport. This seasoned jam band can weave seamlessly between "automatic composition" and actual pop/psych tunes, bringing the best of both worlds.

BILL (Dadaist rock)
BILL are a rock band, started in 1987 in New England and fronted by Bill Gage, a charismatic performer who sings surreal, ever-changing lyrics in a wide variety of styles. He also has DS (Down syndrome). The band name is one of the words Mr. Gage can write. Live, the BILL show presents a sonic kaleidoscope of punk, psychedelia, pop, and hard rock, Bill Gage tying it all together using his incredible voice and edge-of-the-seat performance (with theatrical touches like the cape he wears for "STEVE PEPPER"), as he continuously refines and re-works his vocal improvisations. Between songs Mr. Gage chats with the crowd, announcing the next song and letting the audience know they're about to hear something "REALLY GREAT". While some of his words are not always clear, his intentions are obvious and the crowd stays right with him. Bill Gage is a mild-mannered gentleman, until he has a mic in his hand: "LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!"

Samarra
In addition to the cool tunes there will be bellydancing by the super charged Samarra
