Meadows of Brushy Creek

A few residents of Meadows of Brushy Creek are asking that drivers please slow down in the neighborhood.

Meadows of Brushy Creek East Texas Doo-wop Queens – Shake, Rattle & Roll At Spicewood Arts Society Concert, Sat., Jan. 18 Art Treks to Fort Worth in January; LaGrange/Round Top in March SPICEWOOD, TX (Dec. 10, 2013) – The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts “sunny and warm” for Sat., Jan. 18, in the Texas Hill Country.

But it will be a down-right hot time at the Spicewood Arts Society concert at 7 p.m., Friday, when Shake, Rattle & Roll (SR&R) entertains with their vocal harmonies, synchronized moves, hula hooping skills and comedy.

“This all-female group resurrects the magical music of the ‘50s and ‘60s with a toe-tapping, twisting mix of rock and roll and rollicking comedy,” said Janey Richardson, president of the 14-year-old, nonprofit arts organization.

“This quartet of East Texas women serves up music and fun for just about everyone, whether they grew up in that era or not,” Richardson noted. “We’re even inviting our patrons to show up in their favorite poodle skirts, pony tails, pleated pants and Oxfords!”

The performance will be at the 225-seat Spicewood Vineyards Events Center (1419 Burnet CR 409), about 18 miles from Marble Falls, 35 miles from Downtown Austin and three miles off Texas Hwy. 71. http://www.spicewoodvineyards. com/ The concert is part of the “Season Capriccio” – lively in tempo and brilliant in style -- ticket package.

Individual performance tickets, however, are available at www. spicewoodarts.org for $45 each. If individual tickets are sold out, please email info@spicewoodarts.org to be placed on a waiting list.

Upcoming 2014 concerts include the Texas Guitar Quartet in March, the Matt Wilson Band in April and the 4th Annual tony Campise Jazz Concert in May. A wait list for individual performance tickets also is available. Those on the list generally get tickets, which are $45 each with reservations.

Go to www.spicewoodarts.org or call 512-264-2820. In the event “returned” tickets become available, a two-week notice will be given to those on the list.

BEMIS, SPENCER, SPIVEY & SUTTON

Tavie Spivey of Gilmer formed Shake, Rattle & Roll when she retired from a 27-year career in the U.S. Army. Her sister LeAnn Bemis of Longview, Brenda Spencer of Henderson and Kathy Sutton of Tyler round out the foursome, which is sometimes joined by Diana Stokes of Gladewater. (www.shakerattleroll4.com.)

SR&R won the largest Doo Wop contest ever held in Las Vegas, which led to a recording contract with Memory Lane Music West in Las Vegas and their songs, “Silhouettes on the Shade” and “In the 4

Still of the Night,” being played nationwide on XM satellite radio.

The group, featured in Texas Highways Magazine, can be heard on XM 5 Satellite Radio’s “Cool Bobby B Doo Wop Show” and on “The Street Harmony Review” show on KLAV in Las Vegas. For an album listen, go to http://www.shakerattleroll4.com/2011/12/ listen-to-the-album/.

The women now average 83 shows a year, mostly across the southern United States.

ARTS TREKS ENJOYING SELL-OUTS

SAS’s third “Art Trek” of season will be “Picasso, Matisse & the Metroplex” on Thurs.-Fri., Jan. 9-10. This is a unique opportunity for a docent-led tour of "The Age of Picasso and Matisse: Modern Masters from the Art Institute of Chicago," on loan to the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth.

The two-day trip, which costs $175, includes transportation, tours and snacks, as well as discounted rooms at a Springhill Suites by Marriott in Fort Worth. Reservations are recommended by Dec. 19 in order to receive the lower hotel room rate. Reservations can be made after that date, but room rate is not guaranteed.

“Treks are open to members and non-members,” said Michaela Black, SAS V.P.-Visual Arts. “Due to high demand for participation and recent repeat sell-outs, we are releasing details on our website about Treks to Fort Worth in January and to LaGrange/Round Top in March for those wanting to make early reservations.

“Our ‘Metroplex’ trek also will tour either the Fort Worth Modern or the Amon Carter Museum of Modern Art,” Black said. “On day two, we’ll take in the Crow Collection of Asian Art in Dallas and tour the new Jim Hodges Exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art.” The Nov. 21 art trek to historical Austin included the Governor’s Mansion, the French Legation, the Texas State Cemetery and the Blue Dahlia Restaurant. It was so popular that the Spicewood Arts Society put together a second group later that month.
