SU Creative Salon #1

Sarasota Underground invites you to attend our first monthly SU Creative Salon

* Community Engagement.
* Education.
* Live Music.
* Entertainment.

This modern mixer is intended to showcase local creative talent, present emerging artists, and connect the community creatively.

Each month we’re inviting some of the area’s brightest and most interesting individuals to share their stories, art, and experiences with the community.

We’ll start with a couple creative presentations, blend in some bad ass spoken word, and then break into some mellow music so you can network and interact with Sarasota’s most creative minds.

Stay tuned to this page for more event updates.

Brian Yoder (SRQ)
Brian has shifted in and out of stealing our hearts with his different approach on how to deliver his music. First he won our hearts with his catchy as hell songs in an intimate setting where everyone in the room was singing with him and even in their car after the show. Since those days he has delivered several projects leaning more in the looping and even full band spectrum, better known as Fancy Rat. This evening we want you to hear how embracing a brilliant musican can be with just his guitar.

Sam Robertson (SRQ)
Sam has recently returned to Sarasota after spending the last 6 years in Dallas, TX. Combining somber melodies and witty lyrics, the 24 year old transports you to a place of honesty and heart ache. Currently working with Surprise! records, she is in the process of recording and developing a new sound.
