Bottom Lounge

Join us for Sarah Kang: Before &amp; After Tour playing at Bottom Lounge. Sarah Kang is a NYC-based singer-songwriter, whose genre is a seamless blend of jazz, R&amp;B, and pop paired with thoughtful lyricism and warm, cozy vocals. Born in South Korea and raised in LA, Chicago, and Dallas, she grew up playing the piano and the french horn but never imagined she'd ever become a professional musician. Being raised in an immigrant family, a creative career was never presented to her as a real possibility - only a pipe dream. However, after releasing her first collection of original songs called "Fair Weather", which she recorded in her closet, she quit her job as a music teacher and took the jump into full-time music. She released her debut EP called "One" in 2019, funded by a Kickstarter campaign. In 2020, she challenged herself to release a song every month, and that July, she released her most well-known song to date called "Summer Is for Falling in Love", which has over 27 million streams on Spotify. The song has also been featured in Nespresso, Uniqlo, and LG advertisements, as well as Korean dramas and TV shows. She released her second EP "maybe i'm better now" in 2021 with her producer and collaborator Patrick Hizon, in which she explored her more soulful and R&amp;B side. In 2022, she released her first full-length album "how i remember" and made it onto the cover of Spotify playlists "Retro Pop" and "Next Gen Singer-Songwriter" Her song" end credits" landed itself on Spotify's "New Music Friday" playlist. In 2023, she released her second album "Hopeless Romantic" and headlined her first North America tour. She recently released her third album titled "before &amp; after", inspired by the birth of her first child.Sarah often describes herself as someone who is perpetually nostalgic, sometimes preemptively nostalgic for moments that haven't even passed yet. This results in a timelessness in her songwriting, which evoke memories, tell intimate stories, and remind us of the finiteness of life, but also of hope for the future. She hopes that her music helps listeners to be fully present in the small moments that make life beautiful, like a sunset, or holding someone you love.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/123425/t/tickets" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

Harford Community College, Darlington Hall, Room 202

Harford Community College will celebrate GIS Day on November 19 from 9 AM to 1 PM in Darlington Hall, Room 202 on the College campus. There is no charge to attend, and the event is open to the public. <a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/55dcb5b0579b4dd2857453e4d8db6ef9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Register here</a>. GIS Day is an annual international event that celebrates Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Geospatial Technology and showcases the impactful work of GIS professionals. Whether you?re in business, science, art, healthcare, or tech, GIS plays a role in shaping your future. Discover how geospatial technology connects people, places, and data in ways that impact every career. During the day, there will be a panel session, speakers, and roundtables as well as games and raffle prizes. Stop by GIS Day and see how it all comes together. More than 20 years ago, Jack Dangermond, founder and president of Esri, envisioned people collaborating and sharing how GIS affects everyone. That led to the establishment of GIS Day, which was first observed in 1999. The explosion of geospatial technology since then has expanded that idea into a global event that shows how geography and real-world applications of GIS are making a difference in business, government and society. It's a chance for organizations to share their accomplishments and inspire others to discover and use GIS. <a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/55dcb5b0579b4dd2857453e4d8db6ef9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Click here for additional information</a>.
