Quirks of Art Presents: Art & Soul at The Muscarelle Museum – June 5
Featuring: Michael Bellar & The As-Is Ensemble
June 5th ~ 7PM
We hope you’ll join us on June 5th, 2013 for an intimate evening of music, art, and food at the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William & Mary.
The event begins promptly at 7PM with a performance by our local favorites, Liana Jones and Dave Waltrip.
Then be prepared to go on a musical journey with Michael Bellar and the As-Is Ensemble…
Michael Bellar is a stellar musician. One who has performed music on six continents – but being a native of North Carolina, he stands by his slow, southern roots. Along with creating music and touring with his group, the AS-IS Ensemble, Michael has also toured and or recorded with Amos Lee, Art Garfunkel, and Howie Day among many others. His national TV appearances include Late Night with David Letterman, the Late Show with Conan O’Brien Show, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Ellen Degeneres Show, TRL, Good Morning America, Regis and Kelly and the CBS Morning Show. Michael has produced and scored music for CUT Music (LA), Fluid (NYC), Bang Music and Razorhead.
Michael is the founder, composer and keyboardist of the AS-IS Ensemble. This highly excitable, alt-jazz group has performed at such venues as Avery Fischer Hall at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, South By Southwest and the JVC, Bell Atlantic and New York City Winter Jazz Festivals along with being the former house band at the world-famous Blue Note jazz club in NYC. They have opened for John Scofield, Tea Leaf Green, Medeski Martin & Wood, Grant Green Jr. and JFJO. In a review of their first ever performance in New York City, they were hailed as “Generation Next” by Billboard Magazine. The group has recorded three studio CDs – “Turned On Turned Up” (2009), “Like It Is,” and “REACT!”
