This week at Art Boutiki presented by Dan and Emily

Wednesday 2/5- Bon Bon Vivant is a genre bending band from New Orleans that pull from singer-songwriter/ pop/ americana/ dark ballads and up-tempo indie dance music…but they would prefer you to just listen to the music. BBVs original music is rooted in storytelling and pays honor to a uniquely New Orleans sound while infusing an indie flavor that leaves a lasting mark on listeners.

Friday 2/7 - Colonel Macabre is releasing their 3rd studio album, ‘Slumber Fantasy’, on February 7th. The album mixes 90’s slacker-rock with psychedelic folk, sending listeners on an unpredictable journey of sounds. Sharing the stage with Colonel Macabre is Strange and the Familiars — unlike any other musical experience, you are welcome into the Strange World, where black cats are more than they seem to be, am amnesiac alien spies walk among us, and ghosts sing their secrets in the wind. Also playing: Melinda and the Meander, her music dances between folk and pop with a bluesy twist. Dreamy, haunting melodies float over the twang of her banjolele and moody guitar stylings, while her lyrics explore the light and dark sides of life and love, magic and freedom. 

Saturday 2/8 - Surf Night at the Art Boutiki! Surfer Joe has been involved in the surf music scene since the middle of the 90s, building up his name worldwide as a musician and event organizer. By currently playing more than a hundred concerts a year around the world, Surfer Joe is among the most active artists in modern surf music. Playing alongside Surfer Joe, Frankie and the Pool Boys are an instrumental surf combo and have been together since 2009. They’ll play quiet in a tiki bars and loud at festivals, but wherever they go, they always bring big smiles and a good time. Also playing: Chillingsworth Surfingham, whose self-titled debut album is ready to hit the beach! It’s a new wave of surf, not traditional, but plays well with it. It’s energetic when it wants to be, and mai-tai smooth when it doesn’t. For those who enjoy surfstrumental music, you’ll catch this wave! 

Bon Bon Vivant is $20 Advance / $25 at the Door. All other shows are $15 Advance / $20 at the Door. Doors open at 8PM!
