FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Orleans Artists Entertain at the Yale Street Arts Market
Houston Food Bank Donations Accepted

Houston Heights- Wednesday, September 28, 2005- The year and a half
old Yale Street Arts Market held on the first Saturday of each month continues
this Saturday, October 1st with entertainment provided by displaced New Orleans
musicians and puppeteers. Open from 9am to 5pm every first Saturday, the market
regularly features emerging and established artists from all over the
Houston area
and Texas behind Kaplan's Ben Hur on Yale at 21st Streets.

The Fisherman and His Wife, scheduled for 12:30 on Saturday, first toured
three months before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina,
New Orleans' Calliope Puppets offers a theater piece for family audiences
focused on the critical impact of coastal wetlands loss.
Set in south Louisiana, the traditional Brothers Grimm tale is of the wife who
asks too much of the magical fish her husband catches.
Classic characters, lively songs, and imaginative adaptation promote
understanding of the effects human decisions have on wetlands residents.
Presented by puppeteer, Karen Konnerth and musician, Vic Shepherd.

Following The Fisherman and His Wife, Vic Shepherd will perform.
Vic has been a fixture on the New Orleans scene for over 25 years,
performing primarily on guitar or banjo. He has appeared in just about
every musical venue and situation that New Orleans has to offer.
Including The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Mardi Gras Parades,
French Quarter Festival, the Jean Lafitte Jazz National Park, Bourbon
Street nightclubs, riverboats, fine restaurants, conventions, and
special events.
