PILLARS AND TONGUES TOUR IN SUPPORT OF MOST RECENT LP, LAY OF PILGRIM PARK
@ The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art
Thursday, September 9, 2010 from 7-10 pm

Join the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art as we kick off the 2010 fall concert series with Pillars and Tongues from Chicago. With just three members, Pillars and Tongues manage to craft powerful folk, gospel, and blues together along with trance-inducing vocal dynamics. They are currently touring the US to support their most resent LP, “Lay of Pilgrim Park”. . . "it’s hard to believe Lay of Pilgrim Park is the work of just three people in the same room,” says Jason Crock, Pitchfork. Get here early for an opening set by Houston’s listenlisten, "Gorgeous folk-rock... the good kind of sad — a sympathetic voice to guide you through a crash-landing at the end of the world” eMusic, and RollingStone.com called their 2009 full-length, "Hymns From Rhodesia "a spellbinding collection of country-gospel songs haunted by loneliness and loss". Don’t miss a wonderful night of genre defying music and magic at the Orange Show.

Admission is only $10 for a spectacular evening in the Orange Show. Tickets will be sold at the door- get here early! Doors 7:00pm/ Show 8:00pm

Eyeopener Tour - GALVESTON RESTORED
Start Date: 14-Nov-10 10:00 AM
End Time: 14-Nov-10 6:00 PM
Location: Various sites in Galveston
Event Details:

On September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike struck Galveston with incredible force, but Galvestonians' spirit was stronger. Experience several of the island's artistically diverse, restored spaces. Lunch is at the historic Mosquito Cafe located in the East End Historic District.

75% of the island was flooded and some places had more than 8' of water. Ike caused 2.3 billion dollars of damage. But, Galvestonians are a hardy lot who love their island! Whether they are BOI (born on the island) or IBC (islander by choice) they are proud to live in Galveston. After the initial shock of the storm damage, islanders got to work cleaning up and repairing structures. Restoration continues to this day.

Luxury bus with snacks, adult libations and fabulous people leaves from the Orange Show promptly at 10am on Sunday, November 14 and returns approximately 6pm. Price is $55 for Orange Show Members and $75 for non-members - includes lunch
