 Dylan Hammett Growing up in a musical environment, Dylan Hammett began playing the guitar with her father at age 9. She started writing her original songs by age 13. Now 20 years old, she has written over fifty songs and has been performing at local clubs, restaurants, and events around Norman and Oklahoma City area for the last 7 years. Her debut album "13 STEPS" chronicles the road to self-destruction and the come back of her youth. The majority of the songs were written when she was 14 and recently recorded. This album has the depth in emotions and lyrics that defies her age. For the connoisseur of music that looks beyond the boundaries of pop this debut album has the depth and artistic insight of a veteran of life, this is a must listen. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and picnic baskets to enjoy the free outdoor show. The Summer Breeze Concert Series is supported by grants from the Norman Arts Council and Oklahoma Arts Council, as well as the generous support of many local businesses, organizations and individuals. For more information about Summer Breeze or other PAS programs, call 307-9320. |

 Photograph by Mark Williams A reception for the artist will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. on Friday, August 13, in conjunction with the Second Friday Circuit of Art. There is no admission charge for the exhibition and reception or for the various activities planned for the evening. Williams’ return to the PAS gallery includes new works as well as some familiar ones. “Seeing and being aware of my surroundings allows me to show an obvious subject from a not-so-obvious point of view,” he explained. “I look for the unusual in the usual, the uncommon in the common, and then try to present in a visually pleasing way.” At the Friday evening reception, Asia Scudder, wire sculptor, will work with children to create people, animals or their imaginative figures from safe, multi-color pipe cleaners. She will guide children in making their creations from 6:00-7:30 pm. The Song Writers Association of Norman will provide music throughout the evening while Rick Fry demonstrates oil painting techniques. PAS gallery exhibitions are made possible in part by grants from the Norman Arts Council, Oklahoma Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts. For more information on PAS and its programs, call (405)307-9320. |
