There is definitely a type of artist that appeals to the NPR crowd, and singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson is it. He doesn’t come by these parts often, so this is a treat, especially because his recent concerts have been clocking in at north of three hours. That’s almost as long as Killers of the Flower Moon, a movie he starred in.

Desert Oasis: Passage of Time and Places features the work of Bulgaria-born but Las Vegas-residing artist Valentin Yordanov. You may have seen his work around town, from Meow Wolf to Downtown Summerlin. His work is largely abstract and geometrical in nature, and here it’s inspired by Las Vegas, both the city part and the natural part at its boundaries, and there’s a slew of other subjects referenced in the work as well, all clearly interconnected.
