Join us My 3rd 6-8 pm for a chance to chat with our featured artist Ross Tyger. Enjoy some snacks and try a tasty mocktail as you view this collection of new works.
Ross was born in 1990 in York, Pennsylvania. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. Afterwards, he worked at the Susquehanna Art Museum in Harrisburg and recently relocated to Bay Ridge in Brooklyn to seek out new opportunities.
The current series of paintings of mechanical subject matter is a collaboration with his father, Doug Tyger, who is a mechanical engineer. The subjects are industrial steam boilers, boiler burners, and control systems which power many of the manufacturing facilities throughout our region. The cheery sheen of the machinery set against misty backgrounds is meant to combine the feel of product imagery with contemporary painting.
Waldo’s and Company is hosting the release of the second edition of the Catacombs Press. This is a publication of The Hartley Residence (an artist in residency program) with stories and poems that explore belief, paradox, and our relationship to the natural world. Featured at this event will be select readings from this brand new release as well as Waldo’s signature mocktails.

Waldo’s Gallery is proud to feature one of its newest Tradeshop members Shannon Palmer.
Shannon Palmer is a printmaker and painter based in Gettysburg. She takes inspiration for both subject matter and style from her Gen X upbringing of skateboarding, punk flyers, and handmade comic books. Her favorite methods of printmaking include drypoint, wood engraving, and linoleum block printing. She enjoys discovering different ways to incorporate technology with traditional printmaking, and you’ll often find her tinkering with various electronic gadgets to find new ways of making marks on surfaces, such as the laser she used to create plates for one of her newest prints. You can find more of her work on her instagram page, @shannon_palmer_art

Waldo’s Gallery is proud to feature the works of local artist Rachel York.
Join us for an artist reception on Friday from 6-8 to celebrate this show. Enjoy Waldo’s refreshments and snacks along with live instrumental music performed by Andrew York.
Rachel York is an artist, writer and educator. Rachel earned her B.A. in painting and drawing from Gordon College and her M.F.A. in painting from LSU. She is an adjunct professor at Rowan University and a founding member of the Hartley Residence, a nonprofit artist in residence and restoration project in Aspers, PA. Her artwork focuses on the depiction of light, nature and the body, often dealing with the intersection of the spiritual and the material. Her work has been commissioned for permanent and private collections throughout the nation.
At the heart of my work is a questioning of human nature in relation to the natural world and the divine. Drawing upon and altering paintings of Biblical narratives, I create works that focus on light within framing darkness, and abstracted bodies in ambiguous landscapes. I seek to retain evidence of my hand as I work, heightening the emotional intensity of my subject matter through energetic mark and unnatural color. Through my work I grapple with humanity’s destructive nature and reflect on the violence, and vulnerability inherent to bodily existence.

We’re Boring
There will be an artist reception on Friday, September 1st from 6-8pm.
Sharon Birch has been creating art for decades and has lived in Gettysburg for much of that time. She joined the Waldos & Co. creative community in December of 2015 as a studio holder. While primarily a painter, she has also experimented with collage, printmaking, and bookbinding. Her artistic passion is color – mixing, juxtaposing, delineating, and layering color. Sharon’s work is influenced by the visual language of comics and the techniques of illustration but she applies this in an abstract context. Her current work, while appearing to consist of two distinctly different styles, emerged in tandem as she alternated methods capturing the feel of loose color and hard lines. The Stained Glass series captures pockets of color within defined shapes while the Puzzle series emphasizes the edges where patterns and images connect on the canvas. In all of these paintings, she is exploring the way color can be accentuated by the presence of black lines.
Waldo's is celebrating 10 years of living our best lives with you - Gettysburg! Join us Saturday, August 26th for our annual birthday party.

Dandy continues to deliver a unique sound that explores their passion for music .
My Favorite Intersection is an alternative rock band based out of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Revolving around the compositions and songwriting of core members Ratul Pradhan and Jack Joiner, the group explores themes of relational convergence and divergence through colorful instrumentation and honest lyrics.

Introspective through music: a singer-songwriter collaborative show to open your senses and bring new perspective
Roof Beams is an indie-folk-rock band based around singer-songwriter Nathan Robinson in Washington, DC. Nathan is a lifelong student of philosophy and literature, which is evident in the band name’s origins from J D Salinger’s novella Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters. Nathan’s lyrics probe the concepts of commitment, parenthood, politics, and faith with an openness that pleads for empathy from the listener and to pay that empathy forward. Originally founded in the early 2000’s as “Raise up Roof Beams” near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the band has released 5 LPs and an EP with a rotating cast of band members performing live and on records.
Weird Year is an evolving series of projects and experiments from the prolific yet reclusive harrisburg-based songwriter and performance artist Tara Toms. After several years on hiatus, Weird Year returns with fresh songs and perspectives on solitude, grief, and divinity. With this new music and revisitation of earlier songs, Toms delivers emphatic vocal performances with vacillation between precise and unhinged control. Tara’s music (and entire vibe tbh) has been aptly described as “long-winded proclamations of self-actualization; polyrhythmic chaos; and electrified, DIY Americana earworms”.
Weird Year recorded one EP in 2016 entitled “Wish and Lean”. An unreleased album “Let The World End Already” will be available in 2022. Links to recordings and more information about this and other creative projects led or facilitated by Tara Toms can be found at www.drawnonward.net”
“These songs have structures that are at the same time completely unusual, and yet feel absolutely necessary. I love things that are genuinely strange if you think about it, but present themselves so naturally that you could easily not think about it. This is one of those albums. The songs are so expertly put together that you could totally miss how weird they are, but then you take a step back and ask, how in the world did they come up with this crazy thing?”
-Obsolete Media Objects
“If you like thoughtful songwriting voiced in broad-range vocals with intertwined harmonies, set to changing time signatures and tempos, and backed by soft, tonal guitar and percussion, you might like Weird Year"
-John Bruce

Local food vendors will include Casa de la Cultura. The Gigantona, a large Nicaraguan folk doll, will again make her appearance. A sawdust carpet will be constructed by Nicaraguan artists.
We are going back to school like it's the 2000's - with an emo-pop night at Waldo's!
Friday, September 9th, 2022
Doors 7:45pm; Show 8:00pm
Tickets: $8 Presale on Eventbrite; $12 At the Door
"Frames is an emo-pop band based out of Richmond, VA. Founded by Sarah Phung in 2019, the group released their debut LP Every Room last fall via Know Hope Records. Every Room is quite different from the band’s 2019 EP, Cursed. Now featuring a full-band line-up and an entirely new, refined sound, Frames is ready to take the scene by storm.
Imagine if Hilary Duff made an emo album - that’s Every Room. With catchy hooks and upbeat melodies, Phung hangs her heart on the line. Tracks like “Tabletop” and “Brewery” are laid over twinkly, pop leads but explore feelings of unresolved resentment and guilt. “This Year” offers a darker, heavier side of the band and features guest vocals by Chris LoPorto of Can’t Swim. Feeling like a punch to the gut served with a smile, Every Room has a little something for every listener.
Released in September 2021, Every Room is the perfect record for fans of: Jetty Bones, The Sonder Bombs, 2000’s pop. "
“Chrome Rodeo is a COVID baby that was born out of an abundance of unfinished project files looming in their phones and laptops. The band’s songwriting snippets were musical haiku's with they felt had massive potential.”
Dive into the Alt "Dream Pop" worlds of Rex Pax and Slight Light - Underground Concert at Waldo's and Company in Gettysburg.
Listening to Rex Pax is like sitting poolside with your best friend in high summer: relaxing, dream-like, and nostalgic all at the same time. This second installment of the Waldo's Summer Concert Series is worth making room in your post-vacay schedule.
Concert Date: Saturday, August 27th 7pm-10pm
Advance Tickets on Eventbrite: $8
Tickets at the door: $12
Rex Pax is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Columbia, Maryland.
He describes himself as a bit of an accidental musician, being that he signed up to play the cello for his elementary school orchestra in the third grade without actually knowing what a cello was. He just thought the word "cello" sounded cool. He stuck with it through high school, picking up other instruments along the way, and eventually recording songs from his bedroom.
Linktree: https://linktr.ee/rexpax
Slight Light is upbeat shimmery indie rock by Andrew and Zach.
Based in central PA, the duo has played together since 2015 in local acts such as Weird Year and River Birds. Slight Light crafts songs with lush harmonic and tonal structures, intricate beats, and lyrics that reflect on the pains and joys of being human.
“I love celebrating people and strive to be an accessible force of creative magic for fellow Queer creators, artists and inclusive brands in my community & beyond. I am inspired by collaborative, hometown dream chasing and creating on overlooked, Pennsylvania landscapes. My inspiration comes from the desire to create the fashion fantasy I want to see in the world.”
