AT THE\u00a0<\/strong>WIRTZ<\/b> <\/b>GALLERY<\/b><\/p>\nMarilyn Le May, World Beyond The Tangle. Watercolor on Yupo 26×20\n

Located in the First National Bank of South Miami\u2019s lobby, each month the gallery presents local & international artists.\u00a0 Gallery hours are Monday to Thursday 9a-4p, and Friday, 9a-6p.\u00a0 Artist receptions are generally held on the second Friday of the month, from 6-9p and are open to the public.<\/p>\n

Two artists are showcased for the month of\u00a0October, sculptor Sandy Warshaw and artist\u00a0Le May Patterson.<\/p>\n

Sandy Warshaw is well-known in Miami for her\u00a0years in theater as a dancer, singer, actress,\u00a0director, writer\u00a0and teacher.<\/p>\n

And with her years spent in theater she notes that \u201cI am interested in bodies – stories to be re told – found objects to be costumes or sets or anything that makes an atmosphere of drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

Le May Patterson is the youngest of five French Canadian – Cree Indian children. In noting her background Le May comments,\u00a0\u201cI was fortunate that my parents understood the value of artistic exposure to dance, music and travel. It was the travel to foreign destinations – the researching of their customs, foods and manner\u00a0of living that held my attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

In November, the Gallery will host artist April Davis who is known for her brilliant tropical landscape cityscape original paintings.\u00a0 Throughout her 30-year career, she continues to establish a unique perspective via panoramic landscapes and large scale works.\u00a0Of note, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden selected\u00a0one of her works as their poster image.<\/p>\n

KEVIN HURLEY<\/b> SINGER, SONGWRITER, PERFORMER<\/p>\n

Art as a discipline extends to many pursuits, among them are music, dance, drama, creative writing, painting and sculpture.\u00a0 SOMI Magazine continues its focus on those who share their artistic talents with the community.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Grammy-winning guitarist, Carlos Santana once said of Kevin Hurley\u2019s vocals, \u201cHe has a very soulful voice.\u201d And to the thousands who have heard Kevin\u2019s eclectic style, rich with the disciplines of rock, country, folk, bluegrass, and the blues at local clubs, restaurants, and festivals, for over 30 years, the experience has been memorable. How nice to live in the same city as this highly skilled musician.<\/p>\n

The singer, songwriter and performer is a Miami native who grew up in Palo Alto, California, and then did us a favor by returning to live in the suburbs of the Magic City. Known for his warm voice and virtuosity as a guitarist, Kevin has had a lifetime of \u201calmost\u201d being signed for record deals, only to have mergers and other machinations of the music merchants go awry. Yet he continued to play, grow, and polish his talents. Fellow musicians who came into his life read like a Who\u2019s Who<\/i> of the hit music scene.<\/p>\n

Kevin\u2019s interest in music was kindled in the mid-1960s by Trini Lopez\u2019s popular rendition of Will Holt\u2019s folk song, \u201cLemon Tree.\u201d For Kevin, it was all about the guitar designed by Lopez for the Gibson Guitar Corporation in 1964.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the coolest looking guitar–a double cutaway sunburst.\u00a0I decided right then that playing the guitar was what I wanted\u00a0to do,\u201d said Kevin.<\/p>\n

By the age of 10, Kevin was taking guitar lessons. He learned the basics for about a year. But something was missing; there was a little too much \u201cGlow Worm\u201d and not enough soul. At the age of 11, a new teacher briefly came into Kevin\u2019s life, a man playing folk and bluegrass in the Bay area. A man named Jerry Garcia. The future Grateful Dead guitarist instilled enthusiasm, setting Kevin\u2019s\u00a0course for a lifetime in music.<\/p>\nSlick Aguilar, Pete Sears, Kevin Hurley\n

Kevin formed his first band while in the seventh grade during the explosion of rock in popular music.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn those days, you could go to the Fillmore and see an act like the Byrds. Bill Graham would greet you at the door with an apple,\u201d said Kevin.<\/p>\n

His early career saw a series of moves between Florida and California. By the early \u201870s he was living in Wilton Manors. During a trip to Coconut Grove he met guitarist and singer Bobby Ingram (who became a good friend) who told Kevin about Oz Bach, a bass guitarist who had formerly been a member of the hit group, Spanky and Our Gang. Kevin started the country and bluegrass band Spooner Summit with Bach as one of the band members.<\/p>\n

Later, the band Tattoo joined together two powerful musicians, Kevin and Mark \u201cSlick\u201d Aguilar. Slick became Kevin\u2019s long-time music partner, mentor and dear friend. An accomplished musician, Slick played for a number of major bands and eventually would put an end to Tattoo when he was tapped to play lead guitar for David Crosby\u2019s band. A few years later, Kevin and Slick (then lead guitar for Jefferson Starship) were reunited, and the Slick Hurley band was born. They recorded and produced the CD \u201cBrothers by Other Mothers\u201d in which the duo wrote and arranged the songs.<\/p>\n

The band The Conch-A-Delics were next and with them the production of Kevin\u2019s second CD, \u201cPalm Tree Reality.\u201d The collection features music written by Kevin with lyrics by his wife, Valerie Newman. \u201cShe is my inspiration,\u201d said Kevin.<\/p>\n

Kevin plays gigs at clubs in the Upper Keys and at the\u00a0Key Biscayne Yacht Club. For more information, visit his website
