Celebrate your Valentines weekend with an artist who truly speaks from the heart. Please join us Saturday February 15th from 7-10pm for opening night for modern multi-media artist, Barbara Marker’s exhibit “Art from the Heart.” German born artist, Barbara Marker, always knew in her heart that she wanted to be an artist. After winning an art scholarship, she continued to develop herself by attending art schools in New York, Iowa, and San Diego. She has completed most of her artwork since the 70’s here in San Diego.
Her highly imaginative artwork of the fantasy realm is an evocative showcase of classic fantasy icons such as fairies, mermaids, and unicorns. She is also known for her animal portraits which clearly convey human emotion as expressed through a new perspective. Barbara has also made a name for herself in the comic book world, and has colored cover art for DC Comics, Eclipse Comics, and Dark Horse Comics and various others. She has also featured her work in the “Artist Alley” at the San Diego Comic Convention, Artist's Alley at Wondercon and Comic-Fest.

Havilah Rand
Began her music career at the age of 6 when she began composing songs on an old piano given to her family by some friends. Heavily influenced early on by James Taylor, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Rolling Stones, The Police and a wide range of other styles, Havilah's songs immediately took on an identity of their own. Havilah's soulful and passionate vocal style would lead her to Interlochen Arts Academy and then on to Manhattan School of Music where she would train formally in both jazz and classical technique. Songwriting remained her true love and she soon left New York City for Seattle where she fronted pop-rock band Wish before picking up the guitar and moving on to a solo career of touring and recording. Havilah's first three albums were recorded in the Pacific Northwest where she fell into a tight knit community of artists and musicians. After a years of touring regionally and nationally for over a decade, Havilah moved to Europe in 2006 where she was warmly welcomed in Ireland, the UK and Mediterranean. She departed Barcelona wistfully in 2007 to relocate to the Live Music Capital of the World Austin, TX where she now lives. She has earned herself a steady audience and a respected name in a town where the caliber of musicianship is nothing less than stellar. "A High Wave" is a compilation of original songs inspired by a life of walking the road less traveled and expressing the deepest of thought and emotion through music.
Scott Samuels - Solo Acoustic Powerpop
A 25-year veteran of San Diego’s rock music scene, and a nationally recognized power-pop songwriter, former Roxy Monoxide front man Scott Samuels is a rock and roll survivor with lots of stories to tell. Samuels’ love for rock and roll’s “hidden treasure”, and his unique ability to recount the quirkiest milestones of life, love and career, has fueled his songwriting and performances. As SLAMM Magazine once said, he definitely “knows his way around a pop hook” – and back again. His simple, honest and unpretentious vocal style has drawn comparisons to Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum and Elvis Costello, among others. Samuels is now mining the rich history of his musical past and present with his first solo release, “Great Big World”, and acoustic performances throughout the country

Yes New Years Eve Dec 31st 8pm No Cover Tribal Baroque @ ArtLab Studios 3536 Adams Ave San Diego 92116. Read the complete story and invite everyone you know to this great night of entertainment Lila’AngeliqueOne day in the Angel tunnel in New York's Central Park, when she was listening to Thoth while they were singing "Anya," it sounded like a baroque countertenor; but there rhythm, vocal whooping and roaring sounded so tribal, that Lila called there music “Tribal Baroque”. A combination of opposites: raw, howling singing, feet stomping rhythm, faces painted, breasts flopping, wild original costumes, ecstatic spiritual dancing combined with highly developed musical phrases, perfect pitch, Bulgarian-style operatic soprano and countertenor vocals, and classically influenced violin. Thus the name, "TRIBAL BAROQUE"
S.K. Thoth was born on June 19th, 1954 in Manhattan General Hospital to Elayne Jones, a tympanist with the New York City Opera, and George Kaufman, a doctor. They named him Stephen after Stephen Foster, the songwriter in the early 1900's. Stephen spent his early years in St. Albans, Queens. His parents had two more children, Harriet and Cheryl. He and his sisters attended the United Nations International School where Stephen showed himself to be an average student. Both parents were involved in the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements and took Stephen and his sisters on many marches in NYC and Washington. His father was one of the doctors who assisted the marchers who were beaten up by the police. At eight years old, after one year of piano lessons, he had a dream of someone giving him a violin. He began studying violin with Mara Dvonch, a friend of his mother's and the assistant concertmaster of the American Symphony Orchestra. Although recognized to have talent, he rarely practiced as much as his teacher would have liked, wanting to play baseball and tennis, and cook instead. Even so, he progressed steadily. His parents separated and divorced when he was ten years old. The separation forced he and his sisters to leave the United Nations International School to attend public school. He went to Junior High School 217. During junior high school, he began imagining and creating a mythological world, Festad, as a reaction to feeling alienated from his peers and after reading Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. He auditioned for and was accepted into La Guardia High School of Music and Art. Upon graduating he received the Memorial Award for over all musicianship. In 1972, his mother became tympanist for the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and moved he and his sisters to San Francisco. There he attended San Francisco State University as a music major where he met Richard Wiseman, a professor of comparative literature and an adept at Jungian psychoanalysis, who later became his adviser and mentor. Three years later, he transfered to San Diego State University as an astronomy major. After becoming disinterested in astronomy, physics and mathematics, he turned his interest and attention to opera, drama, and literature. He studied Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelugen and took classes in languages, philosophy, and playwriting, which led to him continuing to write about his mythological world Festad . . . As S.K. Thoth, he has been prayforming his solopera, THE HERMA:The Life and Land of Nular-in, daily at the Bethesda Terrace Arcade in New York City’s Central Park for more than ten years. In addition, he has prayformed the solopera in Sweden, Canada, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and in the Bay Area, where he developed his work, for the AfroSolo ‘99 Theater Festival. He has appeared on The View, America’s Got Talent, and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In 2001, award winning director Sarah Kernochan made a documentary about Thoth’s life and work, which won the 2002 Academy Award for Documentary on a Short Subject. In June 2009, he released a book of short stories entitled Ruby and the Treehouse. In September 2009, Thoth released his eleventh CD with soprano and violinist, Lila’Angelique. He continues his study of theosophy, the eating and preparation of raw food, the assembling of the Encyclopedia of the Festad, and the writing of a novel about The Herma.
Lila’Angelique was born Caitlin Churchill Harkin with her twin sister Jamie Johnson on the 26th of February 1988 in New York City. Her preschool years were spent in Bergenfield, New Jersey, but her family moved to Nashville when she was 5. Both parents are professional musicians. Her mother, Caroline Peyton, is a singer who worked on Broadway. Her father, Brendan Harkin, is a guitarist and recording engineer who runs a full time recording studio in his home. In elementary school, she began Suzuki violin lessons when she saw a fellow student with a violin, but she quickly grew tired of the regimented group lessons and turned to studying classical at the Blair School of Music and Irish fiddle with private teachers. At 10, she was introduced to Verdi’s Rigoletto by her cousin and fell in love with opera. Delving passionately into the art form, she learned many operas by heart. One summer, two years later, she began voice lessons after discovering she had vibrato while singing along with Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. At 13, she met her mentor, Will Griffin who nurtured and tutored her in philosophy, art and music. In High School, she was placed in advanced choirs and won talent shows with her twin sister, singing operatic duets such as “Sous le dôme épais” from Delibes’ Lakme and “We are women” from Bernstein’s Candide. She studied voice with Metropolitan Opera coloratura soprano Elizabeth Carter, and her technique advanced rapidly. Instead of paying attention in math class, she would study the libretto to Mozart’s Die Zauberflote. Many of her teachers and fellow students had trouble with her outlandish styles of clothing: cut up jumpsuits, tutu’s, tuxedos and clown makeup. Before her 18th birthday, she sang the duet “Ach, ich liebte” from Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio with Will Griffin on Nashville’s classical radio station, WPLN 90.3 . As a freshman at the University of Kentucky at Lexington, she played Ariel in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, composing original music for her character. She also played the title role in Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors. After a year in the university, she dropped out and moved to New York City to study at Circle in the Square Theatre School. She was frustrated by the school’s emotionally draining regimen and was also alienated from her peers. On October 11th 2008, she wandered into Central Park and stumbled upon Thoth in the Angel Tunnel. She became his only student. On March 2009, she joined him in prayformance and stopped going to theater school. In the fall, she and Thoth released a CD of their music recorded live. Presently, she and he perform their miniature tribal baroque operas throughout the world,
