May Art Party feat. Felicity Houston Thomas

May Art Party feat. Felicity Houston Thomas

2023 Gallery Grant winner Felicity Houston Thomas's exhibit of their original songwriting inspired by their grandfather's photography takes over The Gallery this May. This is a very special project rich with Geneseo goodness and we are so excited to share it with you.

Felicity is a singer/songwriter based in Geneseo, NY. They are an alumnus of Geneseo Central School and Nazareth University with a BFA in Musical Theater.

Felicity's grandfather, Dante Thomas, was an English professor at SUNY Geneseo for 45 years. He was a true renaissance man and an especially talented nature photographer. His collection, taken on 35mm film, was then self-developed in his at-home dark room. He passed away in 2013 surrounded by his loved ones.

Fast forward to today, Felicity is putting the final touches on a project to bridge the creations of their grandfather with their own musical talents. They've selected a collection of their grandfather's photographs and written and recorded songs inspired by each one.

At this event, you'll get to experience the culmination of this work: Felicity will bring together the photography and song lyrics on our visiting artist wall. We'll sip and snack and get a peak at the works from 6-8pm and then we'll head down to Drumroll Stage and Sushipub around 8pm where Felicity will perform a handful of the songs from the album. You'll also get to pre-order the album on vinyl, which will be pressed later this year.

We hope you'll join us to enjoy this deeply historical and artistic body of work from two Geneseo natives, a beautiful collaboration through space and time.

Join us on May 10th from 6-8pm for an Album Pre-Release Art Party at the Gallery with a follow-up live performance of songs from the album at Drumroll Stage and Sushi Pub.

ABOUT:

St. Vith
www.stvithband.com

St. Vith is an eclectic indie rock band based in the Finger Lakes region in New York. Borrowing from a range of influences including Wilco, Radiohead and more traditional artists like B.B. King and Bob Dylan, the bands sound is a mural of psychedelic jam, art rock and time honored American styles. St. Vith has been described by the Ithaca Times as having “…Numbers that run vibrant and loose, echoing a belief in a time, a place and a destination, they lull you into a haze of jazzy tranquility, happily extending original composition… and beatnik dreamscapes.” Comprising of members Kyle Ingersoll, Quintin Olix, Jordan Seager and lead by Singer/Songwriter Oliver Burdo, the band has warmed up stages for members of the Jerry Garcia Band, Dave Matthews Band, Trey Anastasio Band and artists like Tony Trischka and Zach Nugent. The band continues to expand its horizons and influence in the region.
