ART, IN SHORT is a new monthly short movie series presented by the Walla Walla Movie Crush.

This month's focus:

Rare breeds. Odd ducks. Head cases. Artists get called a lot of names, some of them fair, but many stemming from a certain envy. The best artists may very well be touched, in multiple ways, yet it is this nature that allows them to create works that spark, inspire and sate our souls. In this 75-minute* royal block of shorts, you’ll meet masters of many media most of whom may be part nutter, part genius — artists at their very cores.

We’re so glad to see that Michael Kelly and the Space Cowboys are headed our way next weekend to kick off the 2025 Tongue + Groove series at the Royal Block. As any fan can attest, they bring the groove, the funk, and the blues to Waitsburg, sometimes all in the same epic jam.

If you’re unfamiliar, you can now stream the new self-titled CD ‘The Michael Kelly Band’ on all major streaming services. This album was recorded in a Waitsburg recording studio and released in mid-December.
