If you attend Tony Gallicchio’s performance, don’t plan on sitting still. Joe Sweet of “Fusion Weekly” wrote that Gallichio has… “Just enough funk to make your pastor groove, but with so much soul he won’t feel guilty about it.”
Mr. Gallicchio is a sought-after solo artist and a member of the trio FunkNut. He’ll present a soulful evening of blues, jazz, and funk on piano and guitar, adding some powerful vocals to complete the sound. He has performed extensively in New York and along the East Coast, and at venues closer to home including Nietzsche’s in Buffalo, Lovin Cup in Rochester, and Funk ‘n Waffles in Syracuse. The band recently taped a segment for WXXI-TV’s series SOUND STAGE which will air early in 2012. Learn more at www.tinyace.com

Chris Tolbert – December artist – Steuben Trust Gallery

Chris is a sculptor that lives in Hornell NY. His mixed media work represents a multitude of influences which translates into stunning forms. Although he describes his work as complex the beautiful fluid lines flow from one sculpture to the next. Even though each design has it’s own individual story to tell the connection from piece to piece is masterful. The opening reception for Chris Tolbert will be on Thursday Dec. 15th from 4 pm to 6 pm.
