Music to Our Ears: Matthew Brookshire - Friday Jan 28, 2011

Originally from North Carolina, Matthew Brookshire is a performer and songwriter currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Matthew’s collaboration with modern dance choreographer Keely Garfield, "Eva Potranspiration/Cloud 9", received a grant from the American Music Center in 2009 for its premiere at Danspace Project in NYC. His original music for films includes Christian pop songs for the Todd Solondz film Palindromes(which screened at the Toronto, Venice, Telluride and New York film festivals), the score for the award-winning short film Rene Turns 40, and a featured placement in the upcoming Violet Tendencies. The title song from Matthew’s sophomore recording, Best Friend, was a finalist in the NY Songwriters Circle contest, culminating in a live performance at NYC’s legendary Bitter End. “Wedding Song” and “I Reveal My Heart” (both from the album 8 Songs) were added to Sirius Radio and appeared in the Top 20. Matthew has co-written (with Curtis Moore) songs for other artists, including #1 Billboard dance artist Kevin Aviance and Tony Winner Sara Ramirez (of “Grey’s Anatomy”). Matthew’s live performances include college bookings throughout the Northeast, as well as shows at some of NYC’s top venues. Matthew is a graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts, School of Drama and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Trash Pony's Science + the Underlying Order of Things: Amanda Simson - Fuel Cells and Other Ways to Get 'Off the Grid"

Become one with your Nerdy self . . .

Join us as we present the first of many Trash Pony's Science + the Underlying Order of Things nights, where we ask super smart people, better known as Scientist, to present fascinating information on intriguing topics.

On January 30, 2011 from 7p-9p we begin with Amanda Simson who will speak about Fuel cells and other ways to get 'off the grid'.

Amanda is a Phd student in Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University, researching hydrogen production from biofuels for the purpose of running fuel cells. She received a bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Virginia and after working on rockets for both NASA and Boeing she spent three years teaching middle school math (in Miami and NYC). Despite working in the Combustion and Catalysis lab at Columbia she deems it worth the hour commute to live in Brooklyn. 

Amanda & two of her friends; Tara and Matt co-founded of FredTalks.org. 

A percentage of the night's bar will go towards the Darfur Stoves Project:

* This event is a Time Out New York Critics' Pick.
