The big rain/snow storm didn't shut down the city so everyone should get out of the house this weekend. Her is a list of a few things that happening for your enjoyment:
Tonight (2/6) at the Rudyard Kipling, 422 W. Oak St., music fans get to see a work in progress. PA Project is a band that recently moved out of the practice space and onto the stage. Founded by brothers Josh and Zac Singer, who actually hail from Pennsylvania, PA Project has only played one official gig. Josh Singer said they never planned on actually starting a band.
“Chris (Shireman) our drummer has played in a few bands like Drowning Wilbur ans Flying Saucer,” Josh Singer explained. “My brother Zac played in some bands in Pennsylvania. When Zac moved here he had some songs, and our friend Nate (Little) had a keyboard. I picked up a bass and we just started learning how to play Zac's songs and few covers. Sometimes it sounded good and sometimes it didn't. That's why we started referring to it as the project.”
Singer said the PA Project is influenced by jam bands and classic rock. They already have a Facebook page with a few hundred followers. PA Project has also started to do some recording and there are a couple of songs available on the Facebook. The show tonight starts at 10 p.m.
Also tonight, Gallery Exvoto, 634 E. Market, is hosting “Artist for Haiti,” a benefit for Burners Without Borders. For the 9 days, Burners Without Borders has a plane and pilot that can get med supplies from Florida to Haiti for $1 a pound. The group is rounding up the supplies, then shuttling them onto the plane, and making sure they get where they are needed. But BWB needs cash for fuel to keep the plane going. So, come out and buy some art. This takes place from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
Local hip hop fans might want to check out “The Hottest Party in the Ville.” J Double of Country Gutta, who brought Haystak to town a few months ago, put together this event that is hosted by Sauce Money Connects and the Dro Boyz from Benton Harbor, Michigan. Local artists include: Kenzo, Louis Keyz, HurraSeason, T-Razor, Country Gutta, Neisha Bdot, Dirty Carleone & TY, Father Jah, Dub Key, Young Bell, White Durty and DJ Slikk on the 1's and 2's. This is happening at Slammers Sports Bar, 2800 Crums Lane, from 9:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.
