BRIEF ABOUT: Featuring local singer/songwriter Nicole Belanus (www.nicolebelanus.com) , who is a self-produced multi-instrumentalist whose musical presence and voice have been compared to the likes of Sheryl Crow and Dar Williams.

     A lyricist and crafter of memorable melodies, she has released three albums, Notes on Paper, as her debut, was reviewed as “tuneful and polished.” This was followed by Tune My Heart, a “faith-based” project full of spirituals, her versions of classic hymns, as well as original material. She recorded her most recent album, Build Things, Break Things, in her home studio, and played all the included instruments.

      According to Pfac’s Catherine Graffeo, “…the visual arts are the mainstay to the center as it is actively involved in recognizing forms of creative expression, as well as promoting local talent.”
