Live Streaming Concerts

Greetings, friends, and family. 

Many of you know that COVID 19 has affected the livelihood of many artists. We are following the quarantine guidelines of the CDC, becoming much more creative about how we make a living. I am very excited to present live streaming concerts available to view through YouTube and on my Facebook page. 

I have also started to do live painting on Facebook. I am so encouraged by the positive feedback that I will continue to do live streaming painting sessions. Below you will find the schedule for my Livestream concerts and for my life paintings. Please join me for these live streams and also feel free to watch later as they will be made available to view at your convenience. If you can and enjoy the work that I am doing, please make a donation so that I can continue to present the work that I am doing.

I will be opening for the Near Misses Band at the Vox Populi Gallery. The Near Misses is a 4-woman electropop band & experimental opera based on true near-death stories the artists have collected. The band incorporates synth/keytar, cello, violin, and accordion, with percussion coming from the set pieces: an oven, a ladder, a pile of leaves, and keys. The show also integrates dance and movement, first-person survivor recordings, and video projections.

Concert clandestin double

Avec Marc Tassell & the Chamber Pop Consort Et Daniel de Jesús Des 19.45 à minuit Apporter à boire Prévoir chapeau aux artistes Marc Tassell & the Chamber Pop Consort proposent une forme de pop intelligente. En effet, il n’est pas commun de rencontrer une musique pour adultes — une musique artistique — en dehors des milieux jazz et classique et ça surprend. La voix envoûtante de l’anglais Marc survole des arrangements et mélodies des plus solides mais des plus atmosphériques, finement interprétés par l’exquis piano d’Elena Surina, venue des neiges de la Sibérie, la batterie bien-ancrée de Gonzague Octaville, helvéto-martiniquais et la lucide contrebasse de Pascal Fouquereau, le français — enfin une valeur sûre — de l’affaire. Satisfaction sensuelle assurée. Daniel de jesus For the last three years I have been exploring the effects of repression. I am specifically dissecting my own history of repression and trying to find ways to document it in song. I present a performance I am calling The Wake, a musical presentation of my repressive history and rejection of machismo culture and its relationship to patriarchal religion. The songs are performed with voice and cello.
