Marshall is Music on the Square

Submitted by Eric Crump on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 16:27

Norma Jean Ferguson, with generous cooperation of Marshall square merchants and business owners, has turned the Marshall square storefronts into a series of displays promoting Marshall's music heritage, people and events. Many people loaned instruments, memorabilia, and photos to help make Marshall's music scene come alive. A common theme in many displays is the upcoming Bob James Jazz Festival, a chance for everyone to see Marshall's most famous musician perform!

It's time again for Mardi Gras. The second annual MCC Mardi Gras celebration will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, in the Wood and Huston Community Room on north side of the Marshall square.

Like last year, it will be pretty informal. We'll have a parade around the square -- everybody can march and sing or play a kazoo and march or just march. After the parade, we'll have food & music & talk. Clyde & Mary Williams are making gumbo, and we'll have king cake, including little baby figures in each cake. Whoever gets a baby in their piece of cake wins 2 tickets to the Bob James Jazz Festival!

The MCC Shop Local Artist Shop registration

Submitted by Eric Crump on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 09:54

There is a movement afoot to urge people to shop local for the holidays. And what better gifts are there than the works of local artists? Sign up below, and MCC will add your information to a page promoting local visual and performing artists. Whether you're a sculptor, weaver, dancer or musician, your work could bring a great deal of joy to people in our community. It's our job to let people know what you do!

Put the address you would like potential customers to use to contact you.

Put the number you want customers to use to contact you and don't mind making public.

URLs for websites that show or describe your work. If you want to list more than one, put a space between each URL.

By performance arts, we mean music, dance, theater, stand-up. By visual arts, we mean anything that produces something tangible: painting, sculpture, weaving, multimedia, hand crafts of all kinds, etc.

Describe your work, including the materials you use and your style. If you're a musician, note which instruments and what kinds of music you play. We recommend you note the price or a price range for your work. Think like a reader: If you were shopping for art or performances, what would you want to know?

Shop local: Support your local artists

It's time to start shopping for Christmas gifts. A good way to bring joy to friends and family members and is to give art work or performances by local artists. Of course, live performances can't be gift-wrapped and placed under the tree (although CDs and DVDs can!), but if you're having a holiday party and want some live music to set the mood ...

Below find information on what Kaela Lockard, Chris Nelson, Jenni Allen, Dakota Day-Herrell, Lois Boyd, the Swift Family and Eric Crump have to offer:
