Dirk Quinn Band
$10 suggested at the door for this touring group that is making a stop in Moscow!
Dirk Quinn is the guitarist for a high energy funk/jazz band based out of Philadelphia that travels extensively throughout the US and Canada. Utilizing over a decade of steady performing, Quinn has developed a unique and progressive style - one that appeals to a wide variety of music listeners with fans ranging from the jam band hippies to the jazz snobs.
The band’s infectious energy and musical interplay routinely attract listeners that are admittedly more accustomed to lyric-based music. With great melodic sensibilities, rhythmic experimentation and an accessible modern edge, the Dirk Quinn Band is jazz/funk improvisation at its most exciting!
● What People Are Saying:
'This Philly based band must be the standard bearers of the funk scene up in
the city of Brotherly Love.... They have a great blend of Dirk's guitar, drums,
keys and horns that make this a funky jazz journey into the unknown.... '
- Raleigh Music Listings
'Fleet-fingered Philadelphia-based guitarist Dirk Quinn could be the
illegitimate son of Jeff Beck, although his fiery electric work is firmly rooted
in jazz and, in the context of his band, it's allayed with insistent, funky
grooves to create a brilliantly lava-laden form of electric fusion.
To put it another way: THIS GUY IS SMOKIN''
- Connect Savannah
'Always keeping the audience on its feet, DQB manages to captivate the
hearts of the crowd, while providing a thoroughly concise dissertation
on the possibilities for music in our current age.'
- G.D. Rocha, The Flinging Times

"Like a Ken Burns movie. . . . Always recommended." --Austin Chronicle
"He brings his instruments, a few fellow musicians, and his poems about surviving a plane crash (locals once called him
"a walking dead man"), watching grizzlies feed in a garbage dump, and other adventures in the forty-ninth state."
The New Yorker
". . . might tempt you to plan a road trip with a journal under one arm and a fiddle under the other."

Sofia Talvik
Suggested donation for musician $20
Sofia Talvik is a rare artist and an avid storyteller with a voice comparable to giants like Joni Mitchell, or as the Folk/Americana Magazine NoDepression said it ”A singer/songwriter who is able to evoke the essence of Laurel Canyon circa the ‘60s as expressed in the work of Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Buffy Sainte-Marie and others who were able to paint beautiful tapestries from words and music.”.Prepare yourself for a unique and intimate evening, not unlike the 70's coffeehouses and speakeasy's. You will be up close and personal with a world class act that has played big festivals like Lollapalooza and SxSW and opened for artists like Maria McKee and David Duchovny (X-files, Californication). It is in this kind of setting where she can casually joke and communicate with the audience that her strength as a performer shines the most.Her delicate songs are performed in an intimate way, showing off Sofia’s angelic voice enhanced only by a tasteful mix of harmonies and delays, accompanied by the steady picking of her acoustic guitar and the rhythm section consisting of her own two feet, bells and a stomp box.
She's an experienced international touring artist who has toured through 48 U.S states, many of the countries in Europe and far away places like New Zealand.Her latest album "Center of the Universe" was released in 2023. Throughout the 10 songs on the album, there is a broad range of topics of some of life’s most earnest moments, ranging from the Ukraine War, American women’s rights, the thousands of missing children in the US and the torment of domestic violence survivors across the world. The album went straight into top 20 on the Folk Radio Charts USA in August 2023, with the first single charting in the top 10. The album was considered for a Grammy nomination for "Best Folk album" 2023.”Swedish folk singer, songwriter, and guitarist Sofia Talvik has been making fine albums for many years now, but this self-produced latest entry may be her best to date. Her angelic vocals, which sound redolent of early Marianne Faithfull, remain a major asset, as are her original songs, which combine lilting melodies with frequently profound lyrics. Too few artists today offer protest material, but Talvik seems to have picked up the mantle from singer/songwriters like Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Pete Seeger.” - Americana Highways"The roots music Talvik develops is of a similar tapestry to Joni Mitchell, tapping into that same knack for soul-stirring clarity and resonance. Between, however, is something of a different nature. Open-air production sets the scene for an evocative and atmospheric release from the Swedish folk artist, coming in the form of an upcoming album, Paws of a Bear.” - PopMatters

Mark Winters
I first picked up a guitar to play a song for my wife on our anniversary. That’s when I discovered the joy of connecting with people through music. My sound is rock with a positive vibe, and my biggest influences are John Mayer, Tom Petty, and Jason Mraz. My music starts from a place of poetry and creative inspiration, and I use my “rocket-scientist brain” to find structures that help me explore that initial burst of inspiration and feeling – like writing haiku's, my favorite! My grandmother taught me to express myself through poetry and I'm thankful to her for setting me on this creative and expressive path. https://www.markwintersmusic.com

“Positive influences from the people in his life and a love for guitar are his compass.” – Indie Spoonful
“Winters writes songs that are catchy and engaging that will brighten your day and lift your mood.”– Indie Band Guru
Mark Winters’ “Boundary Layer” will put you in the high frequency energy state to feel ultra confident to release your old boundaries - Americana Highway Magazine
And in keeping with his “rock with a positive vibe” outlook, the track “Strong” comes from his own favorite phrase, which is “Finish strong.” - Houston Press
Anniversary songs aren’t a frequent catalyst to spark a career change, but then again, not many songwriters have aerospace engineering and haiku poetry in their backgrounds as does Houston guitarist Mark Winters. - Waco Tribune

Art Walk
Featuring the work of David Roon. David creates artwork that links to his work as a Conservation Biologist. His practice encompasses mixed media, ceramics and printmaking. Thematically, his
work explores the interface between humans and the global biosphere
(particularly marine ecosystems). Specific areas of conceptual focus include
alterity and otherness in depictions of non-human entities, the use of
mythological imagery to explore contemporary ecological threat, and
tragicomedy in the interface between the human and non-human.
The print-work on display at the One World mixes Western relief printing,
Japanese Mokuhanga (traditional water-based printmaking), and other
techniques like collagraph. These prints emphasize denizens of the intertidal-
otters, grayling, etc. In addition, there are sculptures on display from a series
called ‘Hidden Forest of Fire’- an exploration of the beauty and fragility of
phytoplankton in a changing marine environment
