Artist Bio:
Laura Scheuerell is a painter, collager, mixed media artist, educator, and writer from the Boston area who uses her work to process her daily life. She thinks of her art as a memory bank that records impressions, marks special moments or inner thoughts, expresses feelings, and has the power to usher a viewer into an alternate mental and emotional space. She likes to investigate themes and tell stories through layers. She pays attention to what captures her curiosity. It has always been her compass and balance. You can visit Laura’s website here.

In lieu of a reception, Laura has created this video as an accompaniment to her exhibition at ROOTED Armory Café this month.

Brivele is a Seattle-based trio who braid together Yiddish song, anti-fascist and labor balladry, folk-punk, and contemporary rabble-rousing in three part harmony.
In Yiddish, Brivele (בריוועלע) means “little letter.” Like letters, songs travel — through time and over borders. They pick up dirt, aromas, fingerprints. They are sent to lovers, they foment revolution, they get stolen and censored, burned and salvaged, sewn into our clothes.
We journey into the archives of Yiddish anti-fascist musical tradition, bringing together anti-authoritarian satire, mournful remembrances, and the disguised political commentary in folk ditties and theater classics. These songs are a correspondence: our ancestors’ voices speak clearly and uncompromisingly, sometimes sweetly, to our present moment.
We are discontented, sometimes silly, rarely slick, always cheeky. We draw from a long tradition of Diaspora-proud struggle. We sing in Yiddish because sometimes Yiddish says it best, and because we are the great-grandchildren of Yiddish, so it tastes familiar and unfamiliar at once. We sing it like the mixed-up, impure Yids we are and strive to be.
Boston-based entourage Levyosn takes its name from the Ashkenazi Hebrew word for the leviathan, a mythical sea creature traveling the world’s oceans collecting songs, krill, and dreams. Like their namesake, this ensemble moves with strength and depth, through finely crafted harmony-rich arrangements of Yiddish folksongs, klezmer instrumentals and original compositions.
Levoneh is Seattle composer and producer Ross Kirshenbaum, whose music reflects the Pacific Northwest’s gritty, ethereal and moody music that evolved there, combining elements of electro-acoustic music and psychedelic pop soundscapes with deeply vulnerable protest folk songs.
