Musicale at The Maizie's final 2021 concert at Carson City's BAC features two enchanting artists

Event Date: 
December 4, 2021 - 7:00pm

The Brewery Arts Center in Carson City will host the final Musicale@TheMaizie event this year on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021 at 7 p.m. This new singer/songwriter series in what was formerly the Maizie Harris Jesse Black Box Theater, now simple known as The Maizie has created quite the buzz amongst music enthusiasts throughout the region.

Musicale@TheMaizie is performed in an intimate setting with local and touring singer/songwriters giving them an opportunity to connect with the audience, interact and discuss the creative process. The definition of musicale is “a musical gathering or concert, typically small and informal” and that is exactly what this series is intended to be.

This Saturday’s event will begin at 7 p.m. with two enchanting performers, Greg Gilmore and Mike Clark. “I’ve seen both these performers in the past when they were coming through the area and we are privileged to have them as a part of this series”, says BAC Executive Director Gina Lopez.

Pueblo, CO based Mike Clark is a prolific songwriter and performer whose past projects run the gamut from country-punk (The Jack Trades) to bluegrass gypsy folk (The River Arkansas).

Most notably Clark made up one-fifth of the popular Americana outfit The Haunted Windchimes, which saw him sharing stages with everyone from Ramblin’ Jack Elliott to Garrison Keillor, playing before a listening audience of 4 million on A Prairie Home Companion. When he’s not taking the spotlight solo you can catch Clark steeped in rock & roll and suffused with garage soul while backed by his band The Sugar Sounds.

Greg Gilmore is a self-taught, nationally touring troubadour bearing a self-lit torch informed by the rock'n'roll and songwriting days of yore. With influences from Dylan to Willie, Petty to Orbison, Gilmore attempts to apply his own kindling to a smoldering flame. While he would never utter it himself, some have called Gilmore the Earnest Hemingway of songwriting. Not because of his keen sense of prose, rather you can generally spot him with a pen in one hand and a drink in the other.

Masks will be required and tickets are $10 per person and available on our website, breweryarts.org or more information and videos can be found on our Facebook page here.
