Join us in the art parlor as we speak with a talented group of artists (all musicians, in this case). You'll hear from Wayne Pearcy, Matthew Shifrin, Meghan Downing, and Kai Owens. In addition to learning their backgrounds and instruments of choice, you'll learn about their varied interests outside the music arena.

This was originally featured as one of the breakout sessions of the ACB 2021 annual Conference and Convention and we wanted to bring it to you, our listeners in the Art Parlor. Enjoy!

It is our pleasure to introduce our guest, Dan Simpson! You'll find he has many skills in this entertaining and informative interview – a poet, musician, and teacher, to name a few. Enjoy this month's program!

You’ll also hear about triumphs, challenges, wisdom and experiences of this very talented woman. What’s more, keep listening at the end of our discussion for samples of her work!

In this edition of The Art Parlor, you’ll hear from our guest and recent FIA member, Darrow Loucks, who also joined us at ACB Radio about 10 months ago. He tells an engaging story of his upbringing with parents who were both involved in radio. While you might imagine the influence of music to be a given for Darrow in these circumstances, there is more to the story – from radio and beyond. You’ll also hear about Darrow’s regular shows on ACB Radio Café, which are well-crafted and which are a pleasure to hear.

This month on The Art Parlor, you’ll learn about long-time Friends in Art member, Peter Altschul. Music has been a part of his life since he was very young and alternative meter and rhythm became part of his game. Can you blame him? He is, after all, a drummer. As a form of Christmas Card, he wanted to send an audible version. He created some very interesting takes on some of the Christmas Carols we know and love. You’ll get to hear many on this show including what led up to their creation. So get ready for the great caroling, with a twist!
