Greetings from all of us here at
Wisdom Tea House-
Some of you might know that art is a significant part of what we do.
For others, this might be news altogether. We tend to believe that
art is inherently relational - it creates contexts for
conversations, which in turn foster a deeper sense of community and
human engagement. So consider this eNewsletter a small way of
staying in touch about our future offerings: live music, artist
receptions, film nights and the like.
This Thursday night is Art Hop (5-8 pm)
and we're featuring 2 talented artists: painter/photographer Dan
Fraley (Palmer Lake) and musician Ryan Flick (Denver). We think
their work is the perfect match for our complimentary world class
iced teas and signature sweets. Please read on below if you want to
know more about these artists. Better yet, drop by on Thursday night
to rub shoulders with them and experience their gifts firsthand.
In
August,
we'll begin hosting open mic
nights as well as other concerts. We'll keep you posted!
Also, Monument is hosting free Concerts in the Park on
Wednesday nights.
We're open from 6-10 pm, so drop by for
dessert, tea and coffee.
Best-
Joel B. Pinson
Art Director / Manager

| Ryan Flick Bio |
| Ryan Flick
began playing music in his early teens and lived in Nashville for a
short time pursuing his musical dreams of performing and
songwriting. |
At 25, he writes and records his own music in an apartment in Denver
and plays at many bars and coffee shops in the area, most notably
The Walnut Room, The Bluebird Theatre and Stella's Coffeehouse.
Flick's music is earthy fare with strong ties to the folk and
Americana musical tradition. And while his sound is understated,
Flick imbues his music with emotional heft in the vein of classic
singer-songwriters such as Bruce Springsteen and Ryan Adams.

His EP will hit iTunes in late July
and you can currently check him out on
