First Session on Friday, Nov. 20th at 6:30pm

The inspiration for this new group, Living Room Sessions, began with a very special movie titled “Once”. In the movie, there’s a scene where the main characters attend a regular meeting of musicians at a friend’s home. At first it seems like a typical party with friends lounging around the house, but as they enter the dining area, people are seated around a table drinking, chatting and, get this, singing. To attend this party, everyone had to come with a song to share. There was a bit of casual order to the whole thing and no format except to be free to share.

At this point in the movie, we recognized a need. Artists tend to be isolated, but often to our detriment. SHARING, on the other hand, can help usher us into a richer world of understanding and inspiration and awaken our senses in new ways.

We are starting “Living Room Sessions” for the simple purpose of sharing and growing our creative life together.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a mutual exchange of encouragement, inspiration, and celebration in who we are as creative people. So, come as you are. Come free to share and partake. The floor is open. There are only a few details to know about:

The first “Living Room Sessions” will begin at John Lasater’s house (click here or the above tab for directions). There are several rooms to lounge in and you are encouraged to make yourself at home. Come and go as you please and stay as long as you like.

There will be an open mic for musicians, singers, and poetic readings. Visual artists are encouraged to bring artwork to share, or if they wish, to bring supplies and a dropcloth if wanting to share a demonstration. There is no requirement for food but you are free to bring light hors’doeuvres/snacks to share. We welcome culinary arts as well. Also, please note that this is an adult atmospheric gathering and there will be occurrences when some will be drinking wine or light alcohol beverages. Other than that, you are openly invited to share your creativity with us. So please join us November 20th at 6:30pm at the Lasater’s. Bring a friend if you’d like. Bring a treat if you’d like. But definitely bring something creative to share! See you there!
