It Came from the '70s
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The 1970s were a time of radical change in the field of ceramics. Artists began to grasp clay's potential when it came to Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Land Art, Performance Art, and other movements of the era.

In the wake of the 1960s, artists felt free to use humor for self-expression, shock value, or to serve as a "spoonful of sugar" to deliver a message. While the 1970s are usually seen as a time of wild individual expression, the decade also saw the development of a network of galleries and collectors that would ultimately professionalize the field and develop grudging respect from the fine art world. "It Came From the '70s" features groovy works from the Everson collection that tell these stories.

   

Robbie Fulks
Folkus Project

Price: $25 regular, $22 Folkus members
May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Robbie Fulks learned guitar from his dad, banjo from Earl Scruggs and John Hartford records, and fiddle (long since laid down in disgrace) on his own. He attended Columbia College in New York City for two years, dropping out to focus on the Greenwich Village songwriter scene and other ill-advised pursuits. His music from the last several years hews mainly to acoustic instrumentation; it returns him in part to his earlier bluegrass days and extends the boundaries of that tradition with old-time rambles and sparely orchestrated reflections on love, the slings of time, and the troubles of common people. His 2017 release, Upland Stories, earned year's-best recognition from NPR and Rolling Stone, among many others, and two Grammy nominations for folk album and American roots song ("Alabama At Night").

Dana Cooke
Steeple Coffee House

Price: $15-$20 suggested donation covers entertainment, dessert, coffee/tea
United Church of Fayetteville
310 E. Genesee St., Fayetteville

Dana "Short Order" Cooke is one of Central New York's most prominent working musicians. The five-time SAMMY-nominated artist's material is distinctly witty, wry and unconventional. (He calls himself a "folk singer, songwriter and sometimes buffoon," after all.)
