Old School Square
June 1– Art Walk: Jen Fisher
Cornell Art Museum
6-9 p.m., Free Admission
The Cornell Art Museum at Old School Square is proud to feature South Florida artist, Jen Fisher in our #SpotlightGallery for the June First Friday Art Walk, an open house for the art galleries in downtown Delray Beach! Join us for light bites and refreshments as well as view our current exhibition, Flora.
Influenced from her background in interior design, Jen Fisher’s art has developed from the desire to create on a smaller and more tangible scale. Using similar principals of proportion, contrast and color, her work allows her to organize creative thoughts via an alternate medium, and on a more intuitive level. This series of work, A Retrospective on Perspective, has evolved through Jen’s love of sketching, perspective drawing and her constant desire to explore new materials.
June 2 – James Judd
Crest Theatre
Saturday, 8 p.m.; tickets $65/$45; premium club seating, $400 (available through Box Office only)
The Crest Theatre at Old School Square presents monologuist and humorist James Judd, headliner of NPR‘s Snap Judgment. Often compared to David Sedaris and Oscar Wilde, Judd connects with audiences as he shares stories classified as “spectacular public embarrassments and utter failures.” However humiliating, they affirm that part of being human is telling the stories that have happened to us, emphasizing that even in the face of failure, it’s getting up and moving forward that matters.
June 8 – Joe Cotton Band
Crest Theatre
Friday, 7:30 p.m.; tickets $15/$20
The Crest Theatre presents a rock and roll night with The Joe Cotton Band. The band’s music is influenced by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Neil Young, The Black Crowes, Government Mule, The Grateful Dead and just about any jam band and class Rock ’N’ Roll from the ‘70s and countless acts from blues, country, folk and the ‘50s and ‘60s bands. The song writing is deft and articulate. Never pretentious or overt. Joe Cotton should be just a shout away from becoming very big indeed, and, perhaps saving rock and roll from taking itself too seriously, in the process.
The material is consistently good, casual, fun and occasionally outstanding; as is the case with his latest album, which is being recorded with Producer, Chris Price, at his Miami Studio.
As for, The Joe Cotton Band, each member has been playing professionally for decades, and each one, brings an enormous amount of talent to the table. Although there is need too much planning, they share a deep musical connection, and everything just feels right.
