In the winter of 2011, band leader Ryan Sollee (who is also the frontman for the Builders and the Butch- ers) was asked to write the score for a musical adapta- tion of “Woyzeck” by Georg Büchner. He incorporated the talent of Joel Andrew, Cristina Cano, Amanda Lawrence, and Paul Seeley to musically paint the haunt- ing story of a man driven to madness — and the tale of a dinosaur that evolves into an albatross. The group decided they were too in love to leave each other after the play was over. From then on, they were Albatross, a band formed from a pet project. The band performs indie folk, dark Americana and murder ballads with theatri- cal strings, all ingrained with storytelling. 1.

Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery will feature work by local fabric artist Alexandra Myers during the November art walk. She has been sewing since her mother first taught her how to sew a jumper at the age of 8. Myers began quilting in 2007 and quickly realized modern art quilts was the route for her. “My quilts are mostly original ideas, using machine piecing and free-motion quilting, though I am beginning to branch out and do some hand stitching and bead embellishing,” she says. “I love line drawings and am experimenting with using the sewing machine as my ‘pencil’ to draw on the fabric. I am currently working mostly with abstract ideas concentrating on color and value.” Come meet and talk with the artists. Refreshments will be served. 5.
