Priced To Move VOl 4

Looking for something to get into this weekend and avoid the hubbub of Christmas madness? Perhaps something which includes a good deal or twenty as well as some good tunes? This Friday and Saturday you’ll have an opportunity to do just that. You will also be supporting local artists and events, which means you can go to these types of things more often. This is what we call coming out on top. It feels good doesn’t it?

Jackson’s premiere pop-up gallery returns this December with over 20 local artists! And, as always, everything in the show is LESS THAN $100! Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to buy the best Christmas presents in the universe, or look out for number 1 and deck your own halls.

The event will take place in the Hangar at 140 Wesley Avenue in Midtown. The doors will open at 5 pm Friday and close at 10ish (or when the music ends). The doors will reopen at 2 pm Saturday and close finally at 10 pm Saturday night. The event is free to enter. Cold and hot beverages will be available.

Artists include: Carmen Lucero, Ginger Williams-Cook, Chrissy Valentine, Jaclyn Lewis, Ming Donkey, Peter Hammond, Leslie Galloway, Nikki Thomas, Suzanne Schmidle, Azha Sanders, Marsh Nabors, Justin Ransburg, Kiri O’Gwynn, Amy Clay, Whitney Grant, Catherine Lee, Joy Abedikichi, Cody Cox, Samantha Ledbetter, Nicole Stowe, Richard Stowe, Alli Bostrom, Ian Hanson, Wade Acuff, Emily Sabree, and Scott Allen.

And if amazing art isn’t enough to entice you, we also offer auditory bliss with a music line-up guaranteed to be unlike anything you’ve heard before:

Friday: DJ Young Venom kicks it off, playing into a set by the Vibe Doctors jazz trio, who will play their way into a set by DJ Brik a Brak.

Saturday: 5th Cox, 5th Child and Cody Cox, begin the night at 5, followed by The Jamie Weems Quintet.

This event is a holiday love note to the city of Jackson. Your support makes it possible each year. All of the money you spend goes directly to the artists and musicians (no commissions!) so that you can get something locally made and fantastic on any budget!

The Basement

The past Saturday marked the debut of “The Basement”, a hip-hop exhibition of sorts located in Jackson’s historical Farish District. The showcase featured on the turntables DJ Young Venom (Violator DJ), Scrap Dirty (Violator DJ) and Brik-A-Brak. On the micro 5th Child and Jaxx City, with some guest mic appearances by whoever happened to be in the house who wanted to get up and spit. As an added bonus producers DonChe, Alumni Beatz and D.Banks played some selections from their production catalog live. With the weather being a bit crazy outside and the venue being an old abandoned building you can imagine the scene. It reminded me of something you would have probably seen back in the day in New York. People were rocking regardless of the weather, they were enjoying the music. Breakers were taking advantage of the linoleum on the floor, some people were huddled around the heaters and the rest were sprinkled through out the venue. The one thing they all had in common was their heads were noddin’. The people were thoroughly enjoying themselves. The fact that this took place on the same street as so many other historic musical sites is even more telling of the power this event could wield. Hopefully this becomes a regular occurrence as I can see it becoming an excellent platform in a city which is in need of some Hip-Hop UNITY.

Below is a selection of photos taken from the event thanks to First Lady of Southern Arts.
