The Steam Festival



The Steam Festival in Fillmore was a great success. We had a few hundred people through the gates and their enthusiasm is the encouragement I needed to move the event forward. S.T.E.A.M. is an Educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math as access points for guiding students inquiry, dialogue and critical thinking. S.T.E.A.M. has been brought to the forefront of schools curriculum in recent years. S.T.E.A.M. is a movement championed by Rhode Island School of Design & widely adopted by educational institutions, corporations and individuals. (The STEAM Festival)
The S.T.E.A.M. festival is here to make learning fun with Steampunk themed workshops, games, vendors and entertainment; united through the power of imagination and shaped with the aesthetic of Time Travelers, Tinkerers and Steampunks. It’s the worlds of Jules Verne and Leonardo Da Vinci played out exclusively at old train towns and museums across the western United States. Steampunk is a genre of science fiction that has a historical setting and typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology. A perfect fit for the existing train museums that feature Steam engines and other extinct technology.
Coming to Ventura and San Diego next!

Some Steampunk news



Fellow Steampunks! I am so sorry to have been absent for such a period of time. As you can see I am now the subject of a Steampunk cartoon, playing the character known as Chaz Von Steam. It's been a wild ride the last two years with you, the fans, and all of the new friends I have made traveling abroad. Steamy Tech, Lost Boys Ragz, and Butterfly Frillies Corsets have come on board as sponsors of the Poplock Holmes live show. Matt Burke has joined me as DJ Wattson along side Aaron Bakker playing Shoveley McGee on lead shovel. What's next? Well, one song has been finished for the next album https://youtu.be/UIprwgY2ZeM and the search for the remaining wild beats is on. Stay tuned for new adventures, new music and new fun coming soon!!!!

New Music Video in progress.


     They say the cobblers kids go barefoot, true is the same of an artist working on a project for him/herself. Even though video production is my main bag, I haven't shot very many Poplock Holmes music videos. Well that is going to change! Here is a snap from a recent shoot at the home studio.



In the interim, here is a video I directed for the beautiful Unwoman - https://vimeo.com/119364706
