IN THE GALLERY For the month of January, the WOW Hall lobby art gallery will proudly display paintings by Megan Leger. States the artist: “Just as we shed our skin and regenerate new cells every seven years, each one of my paintings is a symbol of rebirth exploring my path to whole hearted Love. My portraits frame my significant psychological and emotional breakthroughs like a window; sharing my soul’s journey to self-love. “My intention is to highlight the power of vulnerability because I believe in the importance of having a well- rounded and compassionate relationship with the self. To truly love your whole self, we have to shine light on our dark side while learning to accept what is instead of holding on to what isn’t. “I paint my understanding of what I feel when I have stripped another layer of limitation or expectation from my psyche. This is my way of releasing emotion physically into a visual to remind myself of the empow- ering strength that comes from overcoming and facing a fear or insecurity. By sharing my metamorphosis, I hope to generate reflective contemplation in other’s personal growth in addition to providing a platform for others to share their own perspective about their shift in conscious awareness.” The lobby art gallery is open for viewing noon – 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

JAM INTO THE DEAD II: CAP’N TRIPS & TOKEN RHYMES

On Friday, January 10, the CCPA and KRVM’s Short Strange Trip proudly welcome Jam Into The Dead II, a night of improvisational rock featuring Cap’n Trips and Token Rhymes. Just how many Grateful Dead tribute bands are there? It’s been said that every state has at least one, but Eugene alone has several. In October the WOW Hall premiered a new series dedicated to the bands who’ve dedicated themselves to The Dead. The first show featured Tour Heads Caravan and The Almond Butters Band. This show brings us the granddaddy of local Dead scene, Cap’n Trips, plus the sounds of the new kids on the street, Token Rhymes. Token Rhymes continues the San Francisco Sound’s improvisational tradition, playing original music and Grateful Dead related selections. “We are a diverse group of musicians from different backgrounds.
