Art rocks! Tonight is the last “Downtown St. Cloud Art Crawl” of the season. If you have never taken time to visit the various galleries and meet the artists, tonight would be a good time to check it out. Charles Gilbert Kapsner will be in the Gallery St. Germain, across from The Paramount Theatre. Charles is a Little Falls native who chose to study at the private studio of Nerina Simi in Florence, Italy. The family business in Little Falls was blacktop installation. Renaissance painting is quite a stretch from installation and maintenance of driveways. Recently, Charles won first place in the Salmagundi Club 2017 new member show. He is also working on the fourth of the five 8 foot x 10 foot oil paintings for the Veterans Historic Education Monument that are on display at the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery located north of Little Falls. You can purchase a print of the Army, Navy or Coast Guard paintings tonight at the gallery. Tomorrow night the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra will be performing at Ritsche Auditorium on the campus of SCSU. www.stcloudsymphony.com
The APHC show this week is live from the San Diego Civic Theatre for the second broadcast of a two-week stand in sunny Southern California. Hometown heroes Nickel Creek are reuniting for the occasion and will contribute a new song to Chris Thile’s Song of the Week series; Fantastic Negrito and company head down the California coast for a blast of blues from the Bay Area; and comic Maria Bamford joins Chris from Duluth, Minnesota, by way of Hollywood. Plus: music and musician birthdays from our band — singer Madison Cunningham, Richard Dworsky on keys, guitarist Chris Eldridge, Brittany Haas on fiddle, bassist Alan Hampton, and Ted Poor on drums); Tom Papa checks in with observations from Out in America so the gang can focus on stuffing themselves with leftover turkey and yams during the brief November vacation, a pre-Thanksgiving script or two from our Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Serena Brook, Tim Russell, and Fred Newman. Tune in!
