The San Marcos Arts Council’s Sunday Art & Music Show
Today's featured artist was Janeane Povilaitis, black light art. Janeane is a very talented artists who creates art unlike any other artist we have ever showcased for the Sunday Art & Music Show at Old California Coffee House & Eatery before. It was a great day of art and music as always, when it comes to the San Marcos Arts Council, they do things right. The goal here is to showcase local artists and musicians, to give them a venue and audience and allow them to practice or showcase their work.
The feedback from the artists, the musicians and the audience is tremendous and it is a good time for everyone! The musicians are getting a chance to perform in front of an crowd, where otherwise may not get a chance to perform at all, so I think we are doing some real good in the community here twith this program. Please come out to support your local artists and musicians as they practice their craft in front of a friendly audience and practice their music in hopes of getting booked for gigs in the future.
This particular Sunday, we had a young, but really good band come play this particular day. It's a local Raggae band called Coco Jam Stand with local San Marcos Musicians, Spencer, Chase & Todd, who cut his hair so short for the Summer, I didn't even recognize him... lol Sorry Todd. I looked right at you and I thought to myslef, I know this guy, but who are you again...? lol Oh, I was a little embarrassed, since I know these guys very well now... Anyways, all in all, a great day with lots of fun, great art and awesome music. So the next time you want to relax on Sundy afternoon and enjoy yourself with great art and great music, come on down to Old California Coffee House and Eatery in San Marcos, Ca where the best Live Music is always happening, all weekend long!

Poetry & The Spoken Word at Old Cal Coffee

Poetry & The Spoken Word @ Old Cal Coffee
About two weeks ago, I was approached by a board member of the San Marcos Arts Council, Mr. Eldon E. Eller, and he asked me if I would host a Sunday Art & Music Matine'e on the patio of Old California Coffee House & Eatery. I asked him what he had in mind and Eldon explained that the idea is to have a place where student or armature artists and musicians can come and showcase their talents. Eldon further explained, he thought a friendly, safe environment that had people attending. Eldon was looking for a location that would allow artists and musicians to gain experience and exposure to further their career. I couldn't say "YES" fast enough.... At this point, I have a vision in my head that we have a table setup on the patio where an artists, ie, painter, photographer, sculptor, can come and display their work, sell their work and keep $100% of the proceeds and it doesn't cost the artist anything. Secondly, I pictured a musician playing classical or jazz music, setting the scene and ambience for a great Sunday Art & Music Matinee.... I was excited to be part of it...
Even though we are just getting started, the support and interest from the community is there. Just take a look at a local painter by the name of Jessica Johnson, along with Matt Dominguez in the background reading poetry on the patio. We are pleased to be partnered with S.M.A.C. and hope to work with them on other projects throughout the year. The San Marcos Arts Council is gaining tremendous popularity within the San Marcos Community, so come on out and support your local artists and musicians on Sunday from 3 to 5 pm at Old California Coffee house & Eatery.

The San Marcos Arts Council starts a Sunday Matine'e
I was approached by Eldon Eller from the San Marcos Arts Council and was asked to host a Sunday matine'e Arts & Music Show. I thought, sure, I'd be happy to plus this sounds like a great idea. We're an ideal venue for the San Marcos Arts Council's Sunday Matine'e as we have a great stage area setup in the patio and we have an influx of people who will come in and out of the coffe shop all day long. It was a perfect venue because the students will get exposure, practice, scholarship money from SMCF San Marcos Community Foundation and maybe even some tips or get a lead from someone who might want to purchase their artwork. "What a great idea" I thought to myslef, "But you won't be catching me here too often on a Sunday as It was my day off and my time to spend with my son., Dylan" Well, to my delight, as I write this blog post two months into the Matine'e now and I absolutely love the Sunday Matine'e. I've been to every one excpet one and I can't wait to help promote these artists and musicians. On Sunday Feb 27th, We had our first performer, Joanna Stryker Singer Songwriter, come and perform at Live Classical Piano at Old California Coffee House & Eatery sponsored by the SMCF San Marcos Community Foundation. Joanna Stryker is a recording artist songwriter and pianist in San Diego Ca and we were very lucky to have her demonstrate her talents for us...
