I had the pleasure of playing with some great local artists this weekend at a unique event called
Painting The Music. Imagined and organized by
Innovation Station Music artist
Dan Fisk,
Painting The Music brings together local musicians and area painters
for a showcase whereby the visual artist paints an entirely new work of
art on stage with the musician, using inspiration from the
first song performed. The viewers’ energy becomes part
of the art as audience members are encouraged to interact with the
musicians and artists. After a round of one song each, the
musicians play full sets in turn. At the end of the event, paintings
are made available for purchase via a silent auction.
It's incredible to see the visual manifestation of a song come to life before your very eyes. The first song performed was one I co-wrote and produced for Dan Fisk called "Disappear". It's a heart-wrenching song about attending the wedding of someone who once loved you. You can check out that song and others from the "Drifiting" album here.

This weekend's event was part of Leesburg, VA's Artful August series, and featured performances by Ken Francis Wenzel, Justin Trawick, and of course, Dan Fisk and Dave Mallen.
If you haven't been to a Painting The Music event, it's a real treat. Email dan@danfisk.com if you are an artist or musician interested in participating in the next event!
