Live From Lock One is a series featuring some of the most creative artists on the local live music scene. Each performance is recorded with a studio audience and streamed live over the internet. This season we'll be focusing on some of the region's great blues talents, hosted by JV & The Cutters. Featured singers include Thomasina Winslow (left) and Mother Judge (right).

Two of the Capital Region's hottest bands--Taína Asili y la Bande Rebelde and The Ameros--will be featured in a performance webcast live from The Sanctuary for Independent Media, 3361 6th Avenue in Troy, on Saturday, May 23, 2009 beginning at 7 PM.  The show will be recorded for later release on DVD.  Beer, wine and other refreshments will be available for purchase by the studio audience.  Admission to this all-ages event is by donation ($10 suggested, $5 student/low income).

This show is the first of a regular series called "Live From Lock One," documenting some of the most creative local artists on the live music scene.  Each of the performances will be recorded with a studio audience and streamed live.

Area authors Christian Peet, Sam Truitt, Jibade-Khalil Huffman and Laura Didyk will read in celebration of the publication of A Best of Fence, a new anthology of collected works from Fence magazine's first nine years of publication. Refreshments will be served and copies of A Best of Fence will be available for purchase.

Founded in 1998, Fence is a biannual journal of poetry, fiction, art, and criticism that has a mission to redefine the terms of accessibility by publishing challenging writing distinguished by idiosyncrasy and intelligence rather than by allegiance with camps, schools, or cliques. It is part of their mission to support writers who might otherwise have difficulty being recognized because their work doesn’t answer to either the mainstream or to recognizable modes of experimentation.

Join the live studio audience as we record an evening of performances by some of the Capital
Region’s top musical talents representing a variety of genres.
