'MUSE' Presentation Features Music by betterArts Board Members
/
The North Country Arts Council's annual multi-arts presentation "MUSE" this year features music by betterArts board members AmberLee Clement and Erin Fulton.
The event, slated from 7-9 p.m. this Saturday, March 29, brings together artists across all mediums. Visual
artists, writers, dancers, performance artists, and musicians were all
inspired by a song to create their own original presentation.
Artists were able to choose one song from the following muses: Quill & Plow, Joe and Andy King, Pianist Jason Comet, or Musical trio Amber LeeClement, Erin Fulton and Evan Wormwood. AmberLee is director of programming for betterArts, while Erin serves that organization as creative director.
The song created by the trio, "Big River Smile", was written for the family of Walter Boname, local hunting and fishing guide and friend who passed away suddenly in 2013. AmberLee wrote the song; Erin joins in on vocals; and Evan produced the composition. "This song took a very natural direction and that direction came from the heart," AmberLee said. "After a four-year battle, I lost my father to cancer. Feeling the loss of another great man in my life, this song fell heavy on my heart and mind to deliver and honor my father and Walter Boname."
Arts on the Square is located at at 52 Public Square in Watertown, N.Y. For further information about the North Country Arts Council, visit nnyart.org.
