Mike Kovacs Audio/Visual Concert at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival on Friday, June 13th!

We have started a new concert series with a moving image component as part of our New Jersey Film Festivals with the hope of reawakening the mostly dormant New Brunswick Music Scene. On September 15, 2023, guitar virtuoso Tim Motzer performed to an experimental film. That was the first true audio-visual concert we put on. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Marissa Nadler also did an amazing concert with her own movie projections on June 15, 2024. Noise-Ambient musician Jim Haynes came from California and did a concert on October 18, 2024 with accompanying projections of experimental films by Marjorie Conrad, Anita LaBelle and myself. On February 21, 2025, acclaimed singer-songwriter Renee Maskin did an audio-visual concert to videos created by myself. On June 13, 2025, Mike Kovacs will do an audio-visual concert as well!

    Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...6/12/25

    "I was born in Clarksdale in 1957; a boomer! I've lived here all of my life; (Except) for about five years, my wife, we'd just been married a year, we decided to move to Jackson to try to branch out and maybe seek our fame and fortunes; I was in the construction business and  did good down there and started a family there but just felt the calling of the Delta," says Bubba O'Keefe the current director of Visit Clarksdale in Clarksdale, Mississippi. "The Delta is a unique place, it has a mystique about it, which I'm sure you've noticed already and our parents were aging and so why are we three hours away raising a family when to us, life was more important and precious to be closer to our family at such an early stage of raising our own family;so, we came back and I just love Clarksdale Mississippi."
