Born on athletic fields across the nation, 'Blast!' is a novel art form evolved from the showmanship of outdoor pageantry. According to Bruce McCabe of the Boston Globe: "Blast! is an exuberant 15-number show that doesn't falter while bridging the categories of classical, blues, jazz, rock n roll, and techno-pop music. Blast! stands, blows, pounds, marches, and whirls with panache. It sent a full house into repeated bursts of cheering and applause."

They've operated within the music industry, without ever being a product of that industry, gaining the respect of their peers, not to mention an extremely loyal fan base. Regardless of which way the pop culture breezes are blowing, who is topping the pop charts, who is dominating fashion magazine covers, or who is getting played on the radio, an Indigo Girls' concert experience remains a constant.

Sandra Hart--A Retrospective If there is one thing the viewer is impressed by in the work of Sandra (Sandy as one quickly comes to call her) Hart, it is the challenge she takes on in each painting. Riotous colors must come together in harmony, quarreling branches must stand together, dancing stripes must get in line, and thousands of tiny blossoms must find their proper place. And all of this orchestration must happen with the spirit, gusto and serious fun of this smiling conductor who wields control with a brush rather than a batonEvent submitted by Eventful.com on behalf of Classactjh.
