Greetings!
We got married in our living room on Valentine's Day in 1998. We had moved Artichoke Music to where it is now just months before. Folk icons like Dave Van Ronk, Johnny Cunningham, Martin Sexton, David Grisman, Peter Rowan and even Odetta had already graced the Artichoke stage that year.
These folk heroes were just a few of many who would perform there in the back of the shop. As Oregon's Glen Moore bowed his resonant bass (old enough to have played Beethoven's debut compositions live), he reminded the audience just how rare Artichoke Music is for musicians like him. Travel the world over and you'll see how true it is. There is no place like Artichoke Music.
Artichoke has taken a beating and is standing on one leg. The people keeping it alive are running out of gas and are short on cash. It's time to decide.
Let's keep Artichoke Music around. Do what you can.
We'll be there. We hope you will be too.
Friends of Artichoke Music have organized a benefit open house and fund raising campaign to help out. They hope to raise the $15,000 that Artichoke needs to catch up on rent, insurance and other facility costs.
Please join us for "Give Your Heart to Artichoke" benefit open house on Valentine's Day, Sunday,
Feb 14 from 2 - 7 pm.
Performers include Kate Power & Steve Einhorn, Sky in the Road, Tom May, Dick Weissman, Anne Weiss and many more! This will be a love fest.
Admission is only $10 and advance tickets can be purchased at the store.
If you can't come to the show but would like to make a donation, contributions can be sent directly to Artichoke Music, marked "Artichoke Benefit". Note: this is a benefit for Artichoke's facility (concert hall, school of music and shop) rather than for the Artichoke Music Foundation, so donations are not tax-deductible.
