Apr 23, 2025 | Shows/Events

I’m excited to share a few upcoming shows.

FRIDAY, MAY 2, in Cincinnati, Ohio!

I’ll be singing there for the first time as part of the opening reception for “Ohio Now: State of Nature”

Join us in celebrating the world premiere of Ohio Now: State of Nature at Contemporary Arts Center! “Ohio Now: State of Nature brings together artists across Ohio who focus on sustainability, agriculture, food justice, and natural ecologies. Through diverse materials and perspectives, these artists reflect on humanity’s relationship with the environment. Spanning painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation, and community-based practice, the works in this exhibition highlight the urgency of environmental issues while inviting dialogue and response.”

7PM Opening Reception – Exclusive gallery access, small bites by Herban Vegans, a cash bar, desserts for purchase by Cookiefection,!

8 PM Conversation with the Curators from CAC and moCa followed by a performance by Uno Lady. $5 for CAC Members. $15 for Non-Members. REGISTER HERE! 

 

SATURDAY, MAY 10, in Cleveland at Ingenuity’s annual Bal fundraiser

“The Ingenuity Bal: Rust Belt Renaissance will celebrate the beginning of Ingenuity’s 2025 season of programming with an evening of rebirth and revitalization featuring the Tesla Orchestra, flame effects, metal arts, music and dancing, hands-on demonstrations from IngenuityLabs Incubator members, hors d’oeuvres, craft cocktails and more!

Ingenuity’s annual Bal fundraiser is an affordable and slightly off-kilter gala unlike anything else in town! Once known as the Bal Ingenieux, the yearly spring event now boasts a different theme with each incarnation, featuring the region’s artists, makers, and creatives while paying homage to Cleveland’s exclusive arts club that dominated modernist arts in the city from the 1910s until the 1940s. The Kokoon Club’s annual “Bal Masque” challenged artistic norms with the most unconventional parties around.

All tickets include event entrance, hands-on demonstrations, small bites & desserts with a cash bar . . . and more. Secure your tickets asap and save! They have a limited number of “Early Bird” Tickets for only $35, and presale General Admission tickets will be available for $45. Day-of tickets will be available for $55. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

Uno Lady Receives the Creative Residency at Bloedel Reserve

Uno Lady Receives the Creative Residency at Bloedel Reserve

Nov 11, 2024 | Fellowships and Artist Residencies, Press, Uncategorized

I am honored and ecstatic to announce I have been awarded the Creative Residency at  Bloedel Reserve. Next fall I will be spending a month on Bainbridge Island, Washington, recording nature footage, gathering electronic signals from trees, and creating new compositions.

“Bloedel Reserve is a 140-acre wonder of nature, created by the imagination, vision, and a passionate love of the natural world shared by our founders, Prentice and Virginia Bloedel. Working with the rugged geography of the land, they artfully transformed a rough-hewn Northwest forest into a harmonious series of curated gardens, structural features, and distinctive landscapes, with nature as canvas and paint.

 The Creative Residency program provides artists and innovative thinkers with a home on the Bloedel Reserve grounds, designed by noted Northwest architect Jim Cutler, tucked into the woods, away from the trail used by regular Bloedel Reserve visitors. Residents have unlimited access to the Reserve’s 140 acres of sculpted gardens, forests, meadows, and wildlife habitats.” 

I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for this opportunity. I plan to visit nearby old growth forests before my trip and record electronic signals from trees and write songs with the woods. Thanks for all your support. If you want to donate to my trip (no pressure) paypal Unoladymusic@gmail.com and venmo at @theunolady

While I am sharing good news…
I have a performance on Friday, November 22,  at Cleveland Uncommon Sounds Project (CUSP), an old church at 1433 E33 Cleveland, Ohio. I have written some pieces special for the space. I’m excited to share with you. Doors at 7:30pm show starts promptly at 8 and I am singing first. Recommended donation of $15 but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
See you there!

Uno Lady Show, THUR 9/26 @ Waterloo Arts with Tatsuya Nakatani, & Hohenfeld + Hyde-Perry

Sep 24, 2024 | Uncategorized

Thursday 9/26/24 7pm door/8pm show $15 OBO
Waterloo Arts Cafe 15605 Waterloo Rd Cleveland, OH 44110

Tatsuya Nakatani (1970, Osaka) is a Japanese avant-garde sound artist and master percussionist who creates sound with bowed gongs, drums, cymbals, and singing bowls! Based in the Truth or Consequences, New Mexico; he has released over 80 recordings and tours internationally. Performing solo, in collaboration, and with his Nakatani Gong Orchestra (NGO) project he plays over 100 concerts a year.

With his adapted Gong and handcrafted Kobo bow, Nakatani has developed his own unique instrumentation. A master of new sounds and extended technique; he sculpts a transformative, intense, expressive sound that engages improvised and experimental music while resisting genre. Central to his philosophy of sound is the concept of MA 間, which can be understood as the space or interval between perceptual events. Also performing is local duo Hohenfeld + Hyde-Perry playing a short improvised set with flutes and bass. See you there! Here is the event page 

15th Anniversary of Uno Lady’s First Release – Now Streaming!

15th Anniversary of Uno Lady’s First Release – Now Streaming!

Sep 19, 2024 | Audio/Visual, Shop, Shows/Events

Today is the 15th anniversary of the first Uno Lady release, “I Really Like Genetics but I’d Rather Have a Good Time.”

To celebrate, I have released the album for the first time on all streaming sites. Listen on Apple Music, Bandcamp, Spotify, or wherever else you like to listen.

It was originally released as a tape. Here’s a photo of what she looked like. They have been sold out for a long time. If you’re lucky to have one, know I don’t even have one. 

All songs were written and recorded by Christa (Uno Lady) Ebert, 2009. Recordings were mastered by Adam Boose at Cauliflower Audio in 2014 and edited and remastered by Jeff France again in 2024.
