It’s fitting that the theme for this Sunday’s SALON—the weekly open mic created and hosted by Mark Janas—is Endings and Beginnings.. In 2019, Salon moves from Etcetera, Etcetera (352 West 44th Street, NYC ) to its new home at Don’t Tell Mama. This is the last Salon for 2018.
Co-Hosting this last 2018 Salon is the multiple award winning performer-director and president of MAC, Lennie Watts. Watts is also the Artistic Director and CEO of SINGNASIUM—“Keeping the arts ALIVE by helping vocal artists THRIVE in New York City.” The mission of Singnasium is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place for artists of all levels to fully explore their creative selves. It is designed to provide support, embrace diversity and offer eye-opening new ways of becoming a more well-rounded musician. With classes and workshops spanning all aspects of vocal performance, Singnasium utilizes the best possible teaching artists and support personnel that the New York arts community has to offer, as well as providing out-reach to the next generation of artists. For more information on 2019 winter/spring classes, email Lennie Watts at lwatts@singnasium.org.
