Michael on the Radio

Creature Rock Week!!!!

TOMORROW, May 25th, tune in to KOOP 91.7FM, at 11am Central Time, to hear Michael Scott Parker do an in-studio interview and performance on "What's a girl to do?", a free-form Women's Music radio show in Austin, hosted by Lisa Schneider. Getting you ready for the hottest week of women in the arts, at the M.A.L.I. Women's Film and Performance Arts Festival! You can listen online to a LIVE STREAM!

Michael and crew hosted an informal get-together at the South Congress St. bat bridge, where roughly 1 million mexican freetail bats dwell. At dusk each day, they emerge from underneath the bridge, and pour out into the Austin sky, doing the community the invaluable job of lowering the mosquito population. They consumed and we created!

Michael performed a enticing acoustic set with upright bassist Scott Yates at sunset while locals contributed to the Creature Community Canvas and enjoyed Michael's home baked brownies. Dottii and her apprentice seamstresses from Sudan and the Congo, shared creature creations and passed out free CDs to an appreciative audience! Come see Creature Rock on Friday,May 29th at the Green Muse for a rocking 10am brunch and make your addition to her canvas. It will be there!

Creative Creature recently has made a connection with bassist Scott Yates, and is so pleased to have have him in her talent bank! And talented, he is! Scott will be gracing the stage with Michael and her time keeper, James, at the Long Center Performance on Saturday, May 30th, for the M.A.L.I Festival!! Don't miss this show!

And don't forget Thursday, May 28th, opening night of the M.A.L.I. Festival, at the Austin International Youth Hostel. Michael has her two wonderful dancers, who have done a phenomenal interpretation of Michael's music into movement. Emily Boykin, our stellar body and woman of vision, dances all three unique shows next week! But the Thursday show is a special treat, with Jessica Gaby, the dancer of synchronous and curious coincidence, accompanying Emily, dancing their co-choreographed elixir to Michael's 9 and a half minute Rhapsody, "Live to Sing". Beautifully Brilliant!

It's been a blessed and wonderful month of connection and creation! Hope to see you all, out at the shows of our joyful labors. May you execute your labors this day from the just place of your holy spirit.

Creative Creature Community

Vision is a powerful tool. A great musician once told Michael, "If you can visualize your fingers playing the song, it is more effective than practicing hours and hours a day." The more we can imagine and visualize, the greater our accomplishments can be. As a visionary, Michael "sees" how she wants to be involved and ways she can connect and grow. The bigger the community you have, the more vision you can create!

As you know, we have been sharing in a greater mission by cultivating a mind state of sustainability, with our sisters in the arts, for the M.A.L.I. Festival. The festival catalyzed opportunities to connect with the Austin community. We've pulled together resources with the artists at GAGA, repurposed materials in a creative way, making our show attire from donations, got the kids involved with the process of being in a creative community, making band merchandise and learning music with Michael.

The GAGA GALA was a special event. Michael contributed her time and creativity to appreciative participants, who brought her vision into reality.. the construction of her performance materials with the talents of her fans.

This Thursday, May 21, South Congress St. Bridge, 7PM - We are having one final public appearance before the MALI Festival. We'll be hanging out together underneath the South Congress Bridge, with the Austin Bat Colony. Yes, real bats! They were kind enough to pose for our band poster. We'll be jamming, selling festival tickets, and painting together on the Creature Community Canvas! Come out and paint at sunset with the band. They might give you some cake.

And tomorrow, tune in to KOOP 91.7FM, at 11am to hear another local artist, Joanna Barbera and the director of the M.A.L.I Festival, P.O.W., do an in-studio interview on "What's a girl to do?"

And tune in again on May 25th, 11am for Michael's on-air appearance!! P.O.W. and Michael share their mission and their vision and set the stage for the Women's Film and performance Arts Festival, just 10 days away!!
