SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

SUMMARY:TONY FURTADO TRIO  WITH OTTER OPRY AT MONTEREY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
DESCRIPTION:What do you get when you put three brilliant multi-instrumentalists together? You get a fantastic show! And that’s just what Otter Opry has in store for you on Friday\, October 10th\, with the unbeatable combination of Tony Furtado\, Luke Price\, and Simon Chrisman bringing their special brand of music to the stage.\nTony is an evocative and soulful singer\, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo\, cello-banjo\, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef. (He’s also an accomplished sculptor\, but that’s another story.)\nLuke – a five-time Grand National Fiddle Champion – is a multi-instrumentalist performer\, composer and studio musician based in Portland\, OR. He has his roots in American fiddling and swing traditions\, which have influenced his rhythm\, taste and style as they have spread into Soul\, Jazz\, Pop and Americana. Luke brings a unique voice to any music he plays\, whether he’s on the fiddle\, electric guitar or singing.\nHammer dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman brings a whole new approach to an instrument previously thought to have limited range and technique. His inventive virtuosic touch and sophisticated rhythmic sensibilities are redefining the instrument and earning the attention of musicians from all over the world.\nWith their dizzying musical toolbox\, the Tony Furtado Trio represents the best in Americana Roots. This is a show you definitely don’t want to miss! The event includes a delicious chicken dinner at 5:30pm ($15 before October 4th\, $20 at the door). Online sales will end at 11am the day of the performance.\n7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free); $15-20/pre-show dinner.
