SHOALSFEST STARTS
AT ROCKER GALLERY
october 2ND: 5-9 pm
october 3rd + 4th: 10 am-2 pm
Consider us the front porch of ShoalsFest, with three days of art, music, special exhibitions, pop-ups, and a silent auction benefiting Nuçi’s Space.
SEASICK RECORDS POP-UP
Founded by Dan Drinkard in Birmingham, Alabama, Seasick Records has grown from a small independent record shop into a beloved part of Alabama’s music community.
Rooted in Drinkard’s lifelong obsession with music and a DIY ethos shaped by his early years in punk and independent music, Seasick was created as a place where everyone could discover and connect over the music they love.
For ShoalsFest weekend, Seasick Records is bringing a specially curated selection of vinyl to Rocker Gallery, featuring artists from The Shoals, ShoalsFest performers, and a few special finds along the way. The pop-up will include a mix of new and collectible records, with a few surprises worth looking out for.
SILENT AUCTION FOR NUÇI’S SHOALS
Throughout ShoalsFest weekend, Rocker Gallery will host a silent auction benefiting Nuçi’s Space and the effort to bring its mental health and wellness resources for musicians to The Shoals.
More details about the auction, including featured items and how to participate, will be shared soon on Rocker Gallery’s social channels.
DERRY DEBORJA
The photographic medium itself is a focus of Derry deBorja’s work. Often depicting “subjectless” scenes, his images are less about specificity and more about finding the emotional response that exists within the viewer.
Derry graduated with a degree in fine arts from the Corcoran College Of Art And Design in Washington DC, and was active in both the art and music scenes of the area throughout the late ‘90s and early 2000s.

Rooted in Drinkard’s lifelong obsession with music and a DIY ethos shaped by his early years in punk and independent music, Seasick was created as a place where everyone could discover and connect over the music they love.
More than a decade later, that same spirit continues through an ever-evolving collection of new and used vinyl, in-store performances, special releases, community events, and a commitment to supporting the music and people around them.

JEREMY CLARK
Jeremy Clark is a designer, artist, maker, and motorcycle enthusiast known for a multifaceted sculptural practice which blurs the lines between the functional and the aesthetic. In addition to his professional design pursuits, he has served as an adjunct instructor at the University of Minnesota and a visiting lecturer at Minneapolis College of Art + Design and Dunwoody Institute. He is also creative contributor and resident artist at the Hewing gallery and a 2x recipient of the Northern Spark grant. His artistic exploration spans multiple mediums and themes, but often pulls inspiration from history, nature, science and mechanical castaways.
Reminiscent to the origin days of motorcycling, Jeremy assembles simple electric or piston motors onto reclaimed bicycle frames. By transforming lines, mass and visual details, he creates sculptural homages to the famous motorbikes of early 20th century. This piece reflects his deep interest in the history of two-wheeled transportation and his profound love of elegant machinery.
