The Entertainment – The Infinity Boxes by Matt Elson

Matt Elson was trained as a painter at Pratt Institute, received his Masters Degree in Communications from the New York Institute of Technology and is a graduate of the UCLA Anderson Executive Program. He has a background in computer graphics and artistic animation for feature films with DreamWorks and Disney. Elson created his first “Infinity Box” in 2012 and since then the works have been exhibited in seven states, the UK, Netherlands and Italy.

The Entertainment – The Chris Clouse Project

Chris Clouse is a man of many hats and a true musician at his core. From his early beginnings of being a competition fiddle player to now, he has crossed genres, written and recorded numerous albums, shared stages with the likes of Johnny Cash, The Flaming Lips, The Beach Boys, Gorgon City, Miike Snow, The War On Drugs and Kaskade. Writing songs has always been at the heart of Chris’s music but he was driven to provide something new to the people that came to see him. Using technologies such as Ableton Live he was able to bring his original music to an intensity unique to electronic music. He honed this sound with a 2 year running show at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. This was the gateway to his djing career, traveling and sharing stages with international DJ’s such as DJ AM, Steve Aoki, Deadmau5 and A-Trak just to name a few, he was constantly listening and learning from the best. Now Chris Clouse is booked year round nationally and internationally as a live performer with vocals, guitar, violin and djing.

The Late Night Revelry

And the party keeps glowing after Carnivale! Don’t miss your chance to shine bright at The Late Night Revelry and celebrate the night away in San Francisco’s Gothic cathedral for everyone.  

Join the fun with a playlist curated by the Chris Clouse Project, glittering cocktails, and a dance party in a starlit chapel.
