Dennis Keller, lead singer of the late-1960s psychedelic rock band, Fever Tree, will perform with Fever Tree Rising in Lake Charles at the Brick House on Friday, September 18, 2009. Southern rock artists Southbound will open the show.
Keller was front man for Houston-based Fever Tree, which rose to national prominence with its 1968 hit, San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native). The group’s self-titled debut album is one of the best psychedelic rock albums of the 1960s, acclaimed for its complex blend of musical styles that combine Keller’s searing vocals, guitarist Michael Knust’s feedback driven guitar riffs, and keyboardist Rob Landes’ classical, baroque flourishes.
Southbound will open the concert at 8 p.m. Comprised of veterans of the Southwest Louisiana music scene, Southbound plays a driving mix of southern rock, blues, and soul, and will debut original songs from the band’s first CD due out this fall.
Tickets may be purchased from the Brick House (337-433-3108). General admission tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. A limited number of reserve tables seating 10 are available for $300. There will be a cash bar and the Brick House will offer a limited food menu. The Brick House is located at 110 West Pine Street, Lake Charles, LA 70601.

The New Reality: The Frontier of Realism in the 21st Century August 14 - October 17
Opening Reception: August 14th 6:00pm - 9:00pm1911 Historic City Hall Arts and Cultural Center
Lecture with Realist painter Albino Hinojosa: August 28 6:30pm - 8:00pm
The New Reality: The Frontier of Realism in the 21st Century is the first show of this century to not only look at the state of Realism painting around the world, but to also compare those artworks with their historical predecessors. Fifty-six artists from the International Guild of Realism display artworks in a variety of media; from oil and acrylic, to egg tempura and colored pencil. Each artist was asked to identify one historical painting to compare and contrast their work with the pioneers of the Realist movement. Artists sited included Ingres, Durer, Vermeer, and Da Vinci. In some cases the contrast between the old and the new is startling; in other cases, one can almost see the contemporary artist adapting the Old Master's techniques for modern visuals. The New Reality: The Frontier of Realism in the 21st Century will open with a reception on August 14th from 6pm to 9pm and run through October 17, 2009. Special Events include an Artist Lecture featuring Realist painter Albino Hinojosa on August 28th at 6:30pm. Hinojosa is a member of the International Guild of Realism and a participant in this exhibit, as well as a former faculty member at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston.
