SUMMARY:Tony Logue and the 184 Band
DESCRIPTION:Tony Logue isn’t new to singing about the rigors of Western Kentucky life\,  how they intertwine with the raw geography of the land and the graphic history of bloodlines. His 2018 acoustic album Serpents and Saviors  is a fine showcase of his sharp storytelling mixed with cutting observation. But 2022’s Jericho  ups the ante by pulling out all the stops and assembling the right pieces to help tell his stories (“Saving Country Music” 2022.) While Logue’s 2022 release Jericho  was met with critical acclaim\, his 2023 follow up album The Crumbs  found its way on all the same end of year lists. Logue and his longtime backing band\, The 184\, are quickly carving out their place among their respective Kentucky alumni. Logue’s characters often have grease beneath their nails and their backs against the wall. Stories woven with the thread of hardship and hope. Poignant tales that speak to the human desire for redemption and the need to chart a new and better path forward. As a songwriter\, Logue has proven a voice for America’s Heartland. A blend of Country\, Americana and Folk. But make no mistake\, Tony Logue and the 184 are a Rock & Roll band\, and a good one at that.  \nNamed one of Saving Country Music’s essential albums of 2023 \n-Mentioned in Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 albums of 2023 \nCritical Acclaim for Jericho \n-#21 on Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 albums of 2022 \n-Named one of Saving Country Music’s essential albums of 2022 \n-Named one of Kentucky Country Music’s essential album of 2022 \n-Debuted at #12 on ITunes Top Country Charts

SUMMARY:Art Show Opening with Ruthi Dooley and Elisabeth Glauber. Music by David Glauber
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement– Ruthi Dooley \nRuthi Dooley is a self-taught acrylic painter based in Belleville\, Illinois. She began her painting journey in 2020 as a way to cope with cancer treatments\, discovering in the process both healing and a new creative voice. Her work focuses on imaginative landscapes\, inspired by the beauty and resilience of nature. With expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color\, Dooley transforms natural scenes into reflections of strength\, hope\, and renewal. \nHer art has been exhibited at Great Grizzley in Grafton\, Illinois\, Green Root Gallery in Belleville\, Illinois\, and Jacoby Arts Center in Alton\, Illinois. Through her work\, Dooley invites viewers to connect with the restorative power of creativity and the landscapes that continue to inspire her. \nArtist Statement Elisabeth Glauber \nMy artistic trajectory was shaped within a family of makers. My grandfather practiced photography\, my mother worked in fiber arts\, and my father cultivated gardens. Aunts and uncles designed and built their own homes\, even producing their own wallpaper. This collective ethos—that beauty and function are inherently interwoven—formed the foundation of my practice. I continue in this tradition\, creating objects that embody both lived experience and cultural heritage. \nTo live among objects that honor the natural world is to cultivate reflection and reconnection. Such objects invite a slower rhythm of attention and affirm our place within broader ecological and cultural systems. My work seeks to integrate the ordinary and the unconventional\, generating spaces that hold memory\, sustain connection\, and prompt dialogue between personal and collective histories. \nMy formal training with artists and educators including Maurice Grossman\, Gayle Wimmer\, Lois Hennessy\, Doug Baldwin\, and Chaim Koppelman established in me a rigorous respect for materiality and process. These pedagogical influences continue to shape my work\, in which the act of making is simultaneously technical\, conceptual\, and reflective. \nAt its core\, my practice is guided by inquiry: How can objects mediate between personal heritage and shared cultural meaning? How might material processes sustain remembrance while also inviting innovation? Each piece I create becomes an exploration of these questions\, situated at the intersection of tradition\, experimentation\, and lived experience.

SUMMARY:A Table for All
DESCRIPTION:At I Don’t Know Restaurant & Grill\, we believe food tastes better when it’s shared with love and laughter. Every plate tells a story\, and every story brings us closer together. 💜 \nSometimes we get caught up defending politicians or debating issues—but imagine if we poured that same energy into lifting each other up\, improving our communities\, and embracing the good in one another. That’s the kind of unity we’re serving. \n✨ This week’s special: “Unity Meals” – Order any two entrées and get a free side to share\, because love and understanding start with passing the fries. 🍟 \n👫 Bring a friend.\n👨‍👩‍👧 Bring the family.\n🌎 Bring an open heart. \nBecause here\, it’s not just about eating good food… it’s about building a community where everyone has a seat at the table. \n📅 Join us this weekend and let’s celebrate what truly brings us together:\nGood food. Good people. Good vibes. 💜💛
