.....come on, it'll be a smash!!!!

the ifstory.....
imagine if - At a school dance, you hear Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis for the first time. The following day instruments are purchased and a band is born.
imagine if - Your slightly off his rocker uncle allows you to play in his pub for tips. Within weeks a line out the door every Saturday and no room to move inside. Fast forward a year and now you are the single most popular pub band in England.
imagine if - A record contract is offered, but while en route to file the copyrights at the patent office, the drummer is mugged and the manuscripts are stolen.
imagine if - Conspiracy! Suddenly the contract is rescinded, you’re banned from the BBC, and a battle with the transport union makes it impossible to tour. Within a short time, you are forgotten.
imagine if - Songs very similar to those stolen, become hits for a new generation of British bands, some of whom become some of the most successful recording artists of all time.
imagine if - After many years, a lone manuscript surfaces, providing the link between the wrongs of the past and the mysterious disappearance of the ifs.
So began their mission as the Secret Agents of the British Invasion…to
infiltrate each city and town with the style that was once theirs alone.
"You may not know our names, but you’ll remember the sound".
.....and we're sticking to it

The Essex Arts Center, located on Essex Street on Buffalos West Side, was started by Larry W. Griffis Jr. in 1969 to serve as a place for artists to live, create, show their work and grow as creative individuals. The Center was the first of its kind in Buffalo and was ahead of its time. The complex has many studios presently occupied by painters, musicians, sculptors, photographers, draftsman, filmmakers, and Big Orbit Gallery. The complex itself is a turn-of-the-century Ice House and is composed of four buildings.
The Essex Arts Center is part of the Ashford Hollow Foundation, which also operates Griffis Sculpture Park in Ashford Hollow, New York.
Support the arts! Bring a friend! Be there!
