Pink Martini Opens Cape Cod Melody Tent's 2009 Summer Season

Pink Martini, the best-selling, supremely talented, genre-bending, and raucously fun twelve-piece ensemble, makes their Melody Tent debut on Opening Night of the 2009 Eastern Bank Summer Concert Series, Thursday, June 11 at 8:00 pm. Opening for Pink Martini will be Sneakin' Out.

Pink Martini is part language lesson, part old-fashioned Hollywood spectacle. The 'little orchestra' was created in 1994 by Harvard graduate and classically trained pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale. A year later, the Harvard grad recruited his classmate, vocalist and Bay State native China Forbes, and the ensemble eventually grew from a quintet to a 12-piece. Pink Martini brings melodies and rhythms from different parts of the world together to create an eclectic, modern sound.

The Cape Cod Melody Tent is located at 21 West Main Street in Hyannis.

Local Artist Robert John Cook Launches Help the Vet Campaign

Planned to air in June of this year, renowned Cape Cod artist Robert John Cook will be hosting a weekly television show beginning next week on Channel 17 in Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, and Chatham. The purpose of Cook's television show, titled Welcome Home, is to launch the Artists & Veterans Project, a volunteer program which will unite local Artists with 28,000 veterans living on Cape Cod.

The purpose of the Artists & Veterans Project is for the artist to voluntarily provide the veteran free art lessons, workshops, and training in the veteran's choice of art. The artists will vary from the visual arts, to musicians, and writers, and every artist in between, virtually anyone whose interest involves creativity. One of the key goals of 'Welcome Home' is to help artists promote their own work and in the end help connect them with new audiences who will hopefully want to support and patronize their creative work, while providing veterans with enhanced appreciation of the arts. The program is also designed to increase veterans' ability to connect in groups with other community members, and to pursue creative interests that assist in stress and mood management.

For more information contact Robert John Cook at 508-367-5571 or MayflowerStudio@aol.com.
