ierra Bonita’s third grade classes had the privilege of spending time with Ryan Woodward. Ryan is a very talented local artist/animator who has worked on wellknown movies such as Where the Wild Things Are, Ironman 2, Superman 2 & 3, and most recently The Avengers. He is currently working on a zombie commercial for Ford vehicles. Growing up Ryan loved to draw. In fact, his report cards would frequently come home saying “Ryan does not pay attention because he draws too much.” His dad would lecture “Ryan, it is time to put your boyish dreams aside and become a man!” Meanwhile, his mother would whisper,

usicians, songwriters, lyricists and singers wanted! That’s right, the Art City Music Fest is coming to town. Founded by a handful of Utah artists, this is the place to be if you play an instrument, write music, sing or are a poetic genius. Because, Friday and Saturday October 26-27 Springville is home once again to the “Fest”. In its fourth season, the Art City Music Fest promises to have its greatest event yet. Founding members talk about Lyle Hadlock, a lone UPS driver and local recording celeb, going from business to business talking up his idea of a jam session and free concert. Kemari Rawlings, a red headed bomb shell and Nashville recording artist, was the first to jump on board. Kemari has been a driving factor in fund raising for the event, has been on Dick Jacobsen’s KSOP radio show promoting the Fest and recorded a song co-written by Thom Sequoia, a local singer songwriter, in Nashville. Kem says she and Thom wrote the song in 15

minutes just before performing it to a sold out crowd held at the Springville Museum of Art during the first Fest. The creative talents of Allen “Apeadeus” Hughes (singer songwriter), the driving loyalty of Brian Marshman, along with the consultation of Carrie Hughes have carried the Fest into its fourth season. This years event will start Friday, October 26th with young performers being mentored by industry professionals. They will meet at Grace Bible Church 239 S Main Street, in historic downtown Springville at 6:00pm that night. There will be a play through and everyone will have a minute to share their unique abilities. After, the young

artists will split off into groups and start writing. Saturday October 27th will be more of the same for the adults culminating in a free concert for Springville City at 8:00pm showcasing the new songs and groups created in the prior 24 hours. The Art City Music Fest owes a lot to its sponsors which this year include Sunroc, Springville Rotary Club, Marcon Inc and KSOP. Artists who are interested in participating in this event should Facebook the “Art City Music Fest” group page on Facebook and RSVP, or go to www.artcitymusicfest. com and sign up. Thanks to our generous sponsors, the Art City Music Fest is free to all performers and concert goers. Check upcoming issues for more on the History, Current & Future plans for The Rivoli Theater.
