[UUCP] THIS WEDNESDAY: "ARTISTS ON THEIR ART" SERIES

[Liandra Pires]

Please join UUCP this Wednesday, April 12th at 7:00 PM for our *“Artists on
their Art”* Series. We are pleased to have two very accomplished artists
for our “Artists on Their Art” series: *Mickie Shalan* and *Robbie Wedeen.*

Mickie Shalan started her stand-up career in 1998 after winning the
Funniest Female in NJ as an amateur. Since then she has performed at
Bananas, Stand-up NY, Dangerfields and the Comic Strip. This past July she
performed was with a group of female comedians as the Ladies of Laughter
(which was the extension of the Funniest Female contest) at the Bergen Pac
in Englewood, NJ. Presently she performs at Senior Centers, Libraries, and
roasting people at private parties. Her stage name is the “Varicose Vixen.”

Robbie Wedeen is a Folksinger/Songwriter. Robbie Wedeen’s original songs
draw from the diverse musical forms such as blues, English and Irish
ballads and music of the Renaissance.

Her repertoire of traditional folk music includes ballads, blues, gospel,
spirituals, old-time, country, children’s songs, women’s songs, and
international songs. She plays guitar and autoharp and has performed widely
in the tri-state metropolitan area including radio and cable TV. She has
toured in Europe, as well.

Over the years, Robbie has contributed to the folk music scene as sa
performer, songwriter, and producer of creative programs and folk festivals
such as the *Teaneck Folk Festival*. She has been awarded a *Meet the
Composer* grant. She has shared her love of making music with the four
woman group, *A Joyful Noise* and the dynamic trio, *Triple Play All-Stars*.

There will be time after for questions, discussion and some
refreshments. We look forward to seeing you!
