If you were to think of the most glorious sound that could ever be produced…As if Heaven itself were to part the clouds for the briefest of moments and all the Angels gathered to sing their most Angelic song, and it was so beautiful that it could only be heard for a single whisper of a moment or the gloriousness of the sound would overwhelm everyone on Earth….yep, that’s the Brandon McDermott Band.
From Galveston to Houston to College Station and all the way up to Amarillo, the Brandon McDermott Band has been bringing their exciting brand of Texas country music to stages across the Lone Star State. The Brandon McDermott Band released their first studio album titled “Mile Marker Zero” and just like their live shows, which continue to leave the audience wanting more, the album is chock-full of fun, energetic songs that are guaranteed to make their listener have a good time. From good ol’ fashion party songs, to songs about relationships gone bad, this album has something for everyone and has been getting great reviews from country music publications and industry people alike. Now the band is about to head into the studio to record their follow up album with Producer Adam Odor.

Spectra Art Paper is a quality tissue that can be used for a variety of art projects. It bleeds color when wet and is especially effective on silk. Attendees will learn to cut, tear, and wrinkle the paper to create a variety of effects on silk. Students will create different colors by layering and overlapping paper to produce additional and more intense colors. The silk fabric we will use can make fashionable scarves, banners, pillow coverings or a lightweight quilt.
The instructor, Sally Knight, learned to paint on silk from GAL’s own
master silk painter, Susan Moody. No experience is necessary to have a good time and to create your own silk scarf with this project. The instructor will provide the materials for each class member to make a scarf using Spectra Art Tissue to wear or give as a gift.
Cost: $25. Registration is required.
