Visa Prepaid Card

Doc and Nayo Jones have been known for a long time as a dynamic musical duo in the Valley of the Sun.

Now, the African-American father and daughter team can be known as OWNERS of a new music lounge and cafe in central Phoenix! Doc and Nayo took over the old Johnny's Uptown location at 40 E. Camelback Road and renamed it as Doc's Place.

Doc's Place officially opened for business on Jan. 1, 2009 and Nayo says she is extremely excited about the future.

"Doc's Place will allow my father and I to bring our music and our vibe to an audience that is craving jazz and contemporary R&B in an adult, upscale environment," said Nayo. "Our goal is to not only cater to an African-American audience, we want people of all races to enjoy Doc's Place."

Doc and Nayo are scheduled to perform live on Friday and Saturday nights.

"Now that we own Doc's Place, we have the opportunity to really put the Doc and Nayo Jones brand out there," said Nayo. 

And for those who love spoken word, Doc's Place will continue to host the HomeBase: The Poet's Poetry Set on the first and third Sundays of each month.

For more information about Doc's Place, please call (602) 277-5999 or visit docandnayo.com.

Spraygraphic Apparel Launches Social Network for Creative Minds

Artists of All Mediums Joining New Creative Community

Submitted by Spraygraphic Apparel

Phoenix, AZ - Spraygraphic Apparel recently launched a free social network for creative people looking for a space to share and showcase their creativity with others.

Spraygraphic.com combined its affinity for art and activism to create a high-end, design-oriented Website where members build dynamic profiles and portfolio pages demonstrating their creative work.

Spraygraphic has spent two years developing and designing its new website with the hopes of creating a "Thought Provoking Community" where creative minds can get away from the distractions of other social networks and focus more on their creative efforts and building relationships with other creative and pro-active people.

Members come from all disciplines of art: Visual Art, Design, Music, Film, Performance and Text, but the Website is not limited to professional and trained artists.

Spraygraphic believes people have the capacity to be creative, whether they doodle notebook or a haiku on a piece of scrap paper. All creative efforts are welcome!

Spraygraphic.com would like everyone to realize his/her creative potential and make a positive impact through the world by using his/her creative talents and inspire others to do the same.

Spraygraphic.com has many fun and unique features that enables members to build Thought Provoking Profiles. Members begin by picking their favorite interests to make easy for other members with similar interests to find them. Spraygraphic provides a link section that enables members to link back to their own personal Websites or other social networks like Facebook and MySpace, as well as provide links back to affiliations with organizations and schools. There is also a feature that allows members to post their resumes, professional image-based portfolios, and availability for employment, as well as post events onto the site's Community Calendar and a BLOG that interviews artists every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Every member’s profile page is comprised of four major sections (CREATIVE, ACTIVISM, TRAVEL and MOTION) that allow users to show a fuller picture of themselves. All of the sections are optional and Spraygraphic members can create a profile with just one section or all four sections. It’s up to them.

In addition to all of these cool features, Bands and Musicians can upload their music and make their songs available for other members to create and share MUSIC MIXTAPES to listen to while they are logged on to Spraygraphic.com.

Spraygraphic.com's design, application, and content serves the creative individuals searching for something different on the Internet, a free online community that values aesthetics, design, art, and creativity.
