SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Glass
DESCRIPTION:Bill Poceta is one of the leading studio glass artists working today. He creates one-of-a-kind blown glass vessels that resonate with both past and present. His work is influenced by various glass and ceramic”¨forms found in ancient cultures including Greek\, Roman and Egyptian. Being a former painter\, the surface of his work becomes a painting in glass. The reference for his surface designs can be traced to the Minoan culture\, 3000 B.C. Although his reference is ancient functional form\, his glass vessels are modern and architectural. Poceta’s museum quality work engages the viewer with beautiful forms and surface designs that can be traced to the late Bronze Age.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bill Kirchen
DESCRIPTION:Bill Kirchen is an Ann Arbor-bred guitar god\, a Telecaster titan who whirls through a whole gallery of country and rock styles over the course of an evening. After a stint as lead guitarist with Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen\, he's gone on to an acclaimed solo career\, and when he returns to town at the holidays his concerts turn into joyous reunions celebrating the glory days of the Ann Arbor honky-tonk scene\, with special guests often on hand. Some things haven't changed--the Austin American-Statesman recently praised his \"no-nonsense diesel guitar attack\, powered by great booming\, bottom-heavy licks still covered with axle grease.\" But Bill has evolved into a very skillful rockabilly and country songwriter as well\, one who praised his trademark Telecaster guitar as \"born at the junction of form and function.\" His live shows are not to be missed!
