The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is hosting its All Star Jam on February 25, 2012. The concert will take place on the street outside the Art Center in the beautifully restored downtown Fort Myers River District.
Artists scheduled to appear include Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (formerly of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan), Barry Goudreau and Fran Sheehan (of Boston), Kenny Aronoff (of the Smashing Pumpkins), James Montgomery, Rick Derringer (of the McCoys ("Hang on Sloopy")), Johnny Winter (of The Edgar Winter Group), Mousey Thompson (of the James Brown Experience), Leroy Romans (from the Wailers), Steve Luongo and David Hull.
Recently added to the All Star line-up are Robin Zander, lead singer of Cheap Trick, and Doug Bell from the Bellview Cadillacs.
During the concert, maverick artist Victor-Hugo Vaca, Jr. will create a work of art that reflects the music, the audience, and the venue. He will begin the show with a blank canvas and imbue the work with the vibe of the audience, turning musical notes into colors that take a unique form on his canvas. Viewers will be captivated by the ever-changing picture that evolves into his latest contemporary abstract expressionist fine art piece. The finished work memorializes the event.
Vaca has performed live with internationally-recognized talent and big name acts before. At the "Haiti Memorial Concert" benefit for earthquake victims, he painted live on stage with Tito Puente, Jr. and a host of Haitian and Caribbean names.
"The Voice of the Lied To Generation," Vaca is widely considered to be a Renaissance Man. He has appeared on every major network including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, WB, Univision, Telemundo, MegaTV, GenTV and several radio outlets and talk shows including, FOX Powertalk. He is a dominant presence on the internet as a multi-media artist, producer, award- winning filmmaker, actor, author, screenwriter, music producer, stand-up comic and intellectual provocateur.
