Cheryl's Art And Music Guide

Roger Padilha and Mauricio Padilha are brothers who run MAO Public Relations , a fashion PR and events production company. They are authors, too, and their latest is Dustin Pittman: New York After Dark .  While the focus is primarily on city nightlife in the seventies and eighties, some jobs were done earlier in the day, and there's also a handful of Paris fashion shoots.  The venues range from The Mudd Club to the Metropolitan Museum of Art , with subjects such as David Johansen (who penned the foreword); Bryan Ferry; Debbie Harry; Iggy Pop; Madonna (pre-fame); Bianca Jagger ; and Calvin Klein . And there are quite a few identified guests.  That's the case with a sampling of Dustin's Woodstock festival photos--and a disappointment with no headliners. Yet the photographer claims he got to see Jimi Hendrix up close.  Regardless of who he's working with, the former WWD employee thinks love tends to be his theme, with various couples embracing (even one 'tro

A popular performer's amplifiers, writing desks, clothing (shirts, vests, blazers, and jeans) and turquoise bracelet are going on the auction block next month. Also featured will be a variety of guitars owned by  Gordon Lightfoot . That includes the  Gibson  he used while writing  Sundown .   In addition, the sale offers photos and awards.  Gary Shrum , director of entertainment and music memorabilia at  Heritage Auctions , felt honored to work with Gordon's estate, as they have a ''deep love'' for the songwriter and brought in ''amazing personal pieces.''

The unofficial start of the shopping season is Black Friday--the day after Thanksgiving. This year, it falls on the 29th of November. With that in mind, those looking for music have lots of choices at  Record Store Day Black Friday . For the first time on vinyl, for instance,  Dark Horse Records  reissues  Leon Russell 's 1995  Hymns of Christmas . The instrumental album features orchestral arrangements and Leon's piano playing. Among the ten tracks are  Silent Night  and  Joy To The World . Another offering is  The Doors: Live in Detroit , from their May 8, 1970 performance at the  Cobo Arena . It's the first time the set is available on 4-LP vinyl. Part of the band's  Roadhouse Blues  tour, it was one of their longer shows. As a matter of fact, they played an hour beyond curfew, so were not allowed to return to the arena for future tours.  The  Allman Brothers Band, The Beaches , the  Ramones, Phil   Collins, Sam Cooke, Stevie Nicks , and  Snoop Dogg  are some of the

Nathan Wyburn  has created many celebrity portraits and pop culture images with unconventional materials. This has included food, toys, and lipstick. So he is a good choice for  Kellogg's Pop T(Art) Gallery   Experience . This is a pop-up gallery at 133 Bethnal Green Road in London. It is open for just two days--the 25th and 26th of October. Samples of the breakfast food will be available, and a must-see is Nathan's re-creation of  Andy Warhol 's  Marilyn Monroe  portrait (using over 120 pop tarts).   Luke McConkey , a graphic designer, has also contributed to the show. And according to  Somerset Live , there are craft sessions in which visitors can create their own work. 

Over five thousand illuminated jack-o-lanterns are currently on view at the  Bronx Zoo .  It's part of  Pumpkin Nights , which has been running on and off since September. It winds up on October 27. This is their second year--after a successful debut in 2023.  There is live pumpkin carving, and a variety of ecosystems, such as the jungle and desert, are represented. Adding to the experience are atmospheric sounds, music, colored lights, and costumed characters. Tickets are on sale here . During the day--also running through the 27th of the month--this New York zoo offers  Boo at the Zoo , where attendees are invited to contribute to a mural. You can draw your favorite animal or spooky creature. Face painting and a Halloween mash up with an emcee are also on the agenda.  Tickets are required, but those who are two years old or under get free admission. 

Hoping to own a jacket worn by  Billie Eilish , an autographed  Kate   Bush   photograph, or one of  Noel Gallagher' s custom guitars? These are a couple of choices music fans will have if they bid in  Propstore 's auction next month.  This takes place on the 15th of November--Day 2 of their sale of their Entertainment Memorabilia Live auction. There are hundreds of listings. Among the most unusual are an elephant-patterned waistcoat worn by  Jimi Hendrix  and a bird-shaped hair accessory used by  Amy Winehouse  during a TV appearance.  Visit  propstoreauction.com/ music  for details. Meanwhile, guitars used by names like  Elvis Presley  and  Keith   Richards  are on the auction block. These are part of  Gotta Have Rock And Roll 's  Rock & Roll Sports  auction--running through October 25th. Also available are albums signed by members of  AC/DC ,  Led   Zeppelin , and  Metallica .  There's even a microphone used by two members of the  Beatles  at Liverpool's  C
