Scott Yoder – Grunge-Glam
by Donation
Music: 7:00pm
Scott Yoder has been touring most of his life. Within his current project, starting in 2016 he has had 5 tours through North America & 3 in Europe.
Over the course of two LPs & half a dozen singles he has toured the world, espousing a more personal distillation of his song craft. Nearly always on the road, he has honed his live act with a crunching, yet sensitive backing band of similarly-inclined misfits. This glitter-folk balladeer, adorned in mascara & bell bottoms invites you to sway to his entrancing charm.
He has played domestic festivals like Capitol Hill Block Party, SXSW, Meltasia, Treefort & Lose Yr Mind Fest sharing the stage with the likes of Kevin Morby, A Place To Bury Strangers, Roky Erickson, Shannon & The Clams, Death Valley Girls, King Khan & BBQ Show and many more.
"Visually, he evokes the glam of T. Rex and “Aladdin Sane”-era David Bowie while being more on par musically with the brooding genius of Brian Wilson.” (Purehoney Magazine)
"a punch-drunk ode to cosmic love; one that you'll want to leave repeating on your turntable." (KEXP)

Barbara Gabioud will talk about bumper stickers and their place in modern communications.
“What’s the value of bumper stickers? Are they crass, in your face, finger wagging? Or are they a friendly, nonviolent method of communication? What do your bumper stickers say about you? Are they in line with our Seven Principles? We’ll talk about this and more,” Gabioud said.
Barbara Gabioud is a long-time resident of Grant County, a founding member of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City and a connoisseur of bumper stickers.

Power and Light Press
601 N Bullard St, Silver City, NM 88061
SILVER CITY, NM — Silver City MainStreet Project is excited to announce November's Kick-Ass Entrepreneurs — Silver City (KAE-SC) Story Time featuring Power and Light Press. The Entrepreneur Story Time will take place at Power and Light Press, 601 N Bullard St, in downtown Silver City on Wednesday, November 8 at 5:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Join Silver City MainStreet Project for Story Time and learn about how the tenacious Kyle Durrie, of Power and Light Press, became a Kick-Ass Entrepreneur! You won’t want to miss this highly requested story on November 8!
Power and Light Press is, “a ship-shape print shop built to handle all of life’s messy emotions. Ever since we flipped the switch on in 2009, our cards have been designed, printed, and packaged in-house, meaning each and every piece has come straight from our own blood, sweat, and tears. Metaphorically. For the most part. We are fueled by a small fleet of letterpress printers (ok just two of us) with clean hands and filthy mouths: a couple of real class acts who like making real-ass things. Because at Power and Light Press, we aren’t afraid to get a little dirty now and then.”
