Media Release December 18, 2006, Arc 2 Intertainment Inc. Arc 2’s "Stripped" Concert Series traces roots of music
From down-south blues to modern pop, the upcoming Stripped Concert Series 2007 traces the evolution of popular music culture. These live, unplugged concerts produced by Arc 2 Intertainment take place year-round in chic, intimate venues around Vancouver. Each of the three upcoming concerts feature different forms of creative talent, from dance, to art, to fashion runway, all set against powerful musical performances. Stripped Volume Eleven is entitled "Blues"; this first installment held at Ginger 62 on January 11, 2007 features Jen Fair, Tamara Rhodes and Jessi Nicholson of Soul Sistas, who explore the roots of popular music with live gospel, jazz, blues and R&B, while dancers hit the floor with everything from hip hop to break dance. As the official sponsor of Stripped 2007, Gibson Guitar will be donating a guitar for raffle at each event, signed by the featured musicians. This concert benefits the Nilsson Foundation/ALS Society of BC. Andy Chu, creator/producer of Stripped and CEO of Arc 2 Intertainment says, "We’re honoured to bring together so many talented artists, and excited about the diversity of this year’s theme — there’s something for everyone." Tamara Rhodes says, "We’ve performed in previous Stripped, as well as the finale, FMA Vancouver, and it’s amazing to see how the events have evolved and grown over the past three years. It’s ambitious and rewarding to be a part of it, especially as there’s nothing else like this for artists or audiences in Vancouver." After this winter’s Blues, Stripped Volume Twelve, "Rock," continues the evolution this spring, introducing a harder, grittier sound to the stage in a classic downtown venue. "Pop," Stripped Volume Thirteen, promises to explode the senses this summer in a veritable Mardi Gras of colourful performances from disco to swing, at an outdoor waterfront venue. The whole series builds up to the fall finale, FMA Vancouver. This huge benefit gala event unites live music with live fashion runway and artistic performances all on one stage. In the past three years, FMA has grown to showcase international designers such as Reem Acra, along with local emerging talents. Arc 2 Intertainment is an advanced production company in the field of entertainment arts. Arc 2 creates, develops and produces multimedia projects that are technically innovative and visually inspiring.
