Agenda 12/16: Joe Driscoll at King of Clubs

One of my favorite low-key bars in Armory Square, King of Clubs is hosting a concert featuring local rapper and multi-talented musician Joe Driscoll. He will perform his signature style of hip-hop, which borders on too many genres to even describe. One minute you think your hearing reggae, then it’s folk, but in the next minute it changes to full on hip-hop. I saw him for the first time last week at Empire Brewing Company and the bar was packed for his show.

Because it’s a bit of a slow week event-wise in Syracuse I’ve decided to do another art related piece. Starting December 1st until March 18th, head to the SUArt Galleries to see the amazing, minimal work of Cuban artist Emilio Sanchez. He’s an extremely well-known artist who spent his career creating beautiful, vivid and occasionally abstract work featuring buildings, houses and other structures. The paintings are all similar in that they have strong, defined lines and a delightful color palette.
