Music Series - Soul Mongers - Mount Vernon Creates
<p>Music that’s comfort food for the soul.</p><p>Soul Mongers have been around a while, in various incarnations. Borne out of many musical projects and lots of years, this band is the culmination of a whole lot of listening to blues, jazz, pop and rock influences, and then tackling the songs from a more intimate slant. Under the skillful guidance of musical director and lead singer Emily Beeks, Soul Mongers pulls their favorites into the fold: artists as diverse as Nat King Cole, Sippy Wallace, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Melanie, The Traveling Wilburys,Chris Isaak, Cream, and many others are represented. Dale Beeks on guitars and Pete Raine on bass back a soul-stirring vocal by Em, as they’ve done together for 20 years. You’re gonna like what you hear, and head home after a show ready to dig out the old ghosts of music past and give them a listen once more.</p> 2019-03-09 22:00:00 -0600

Music Series - Society of Broken Souls - Mount Vernon Creates
<p>Shining Light on the Broken Bits</p><p>We’ll be brief here. We named ourselves Society of Broken Souls because we know what it’s like to feel a little (or sometimes a lot) broken — and if we’re all being honest, we’d hazard a guess that you do too. But it’s the going it alone that makes it harder than it needs to be so we created this Society. We’ll write and sing songs that’ll let you know you’re not alone. That we’re all in this together. Through the fire. Through the dark. And sometimes, dare we say, into the light. To borrow a line from Townes Van Zandt, “There ain’t no dark till something shines …” So if that steady stream of shiny highlight reels bombarding you makes you feel like your own movies look a little tarnished and rusty, fret not. Join us. We’ve got your back.</p><p>Society of Broken Souls is the Folk Noir duo of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Dennis James and Lauryn Shapter. From stripped down, bare-bones acoustic arrangements to a denser and edgier electric sound, their songs confront our shared, raw humanity all while celebrating the beautiful mosaic of the human experience.</p><p>doors open at 6:30 pm.</p> 2019-03-09 22:00:00 -0600
