Michael Coleman Band will perform at The Garden Friday February, 8th.

As a singer and songwriter Michael draws from his religious upbringing, life experiences and influences ranging from Otis Redding to Dave Matthews. His skills as a jazz drummer translate themselves to the guitar to create a truly unique rhythmical sound. Rounded off with a voice that is as raw as it is soothing and passionate, Coleman’s music has struck a chord with the people of Charlottesville and beyond.

The show starts at 8pm and is free and open to the public.

On Monday, September 10 at 8 PM, join The Garden for an evening concert with Spark & Echo, a husband and wife duo from New York.

Drawing from a classical background, and influenced by the pianism of Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds, the storytelling of Paul Simon, and the vocal harmonies of classic folk duos, Spark & Echo sings epic tales of love and adventure. They craft songs with beautiful harmonies and diverse instrumentation led by Emily’s longtime companion Boris the Bassoon, with piano, accordion, clarinet and ukulele in tow.

This band grows out of and raises funds for the non-profit Spark and Echo Arts which is illuminating the entire Bible through the arts, supporting diverse artists from NYC and beyond.

The Garden is located at 1500 Jefferson Park Ave. For more information, contact Evan

Eleventyseven is headlining Eunoia’s weekly Open Mic night on Thursday, February 16th.

Suggested donation $5 (no pressure).
Come at 7:30 to sign up to perform at Open Mic before the show.

Fresh off a Japanese tour, Eleventyseven, a band having grown up in a time when pop punk reigned supreme, cut their teeth on the high-energy blast beats and bombing guitar tones of their youth. They have carried that approach to their songs into the present day, constantly infusing a sense of energy, passion, and raw heart into their music that seems to call out to the listener.

Through September 23, The Garden hosts Richard Montoya‘s solo exhibition, “AfterWORDS.”

In 2009, after having a successful design business, Richard and his family embarked on an 18 month volunteer training with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) taking him to places like Papua New Guinea, India and Afghanistan. During his time with YWAM he was able to use his skills to bring awareness of injustice issues through his graphics and filmmaking. He is currently on furlough in Virginia.

This exhibit includes new work created while on furlough using text-based imagery to produce visual play on words and their meaning as well as work done while overseas with YWAM.

The Garden is located at 1500 Jefferson Park Avenue. For more information about the exhibit, contact Richard.
