SUMMARY:Sarah Arthur\, the Spiritual Journey of an American Jewish Woman--a folk musical
DESCRIPTION:The musical was conceived in the midst of Hurricane Helene as a collaboration by Asheville and Nashville musicians promoting a message of peace\, hope\, and a search for meaning in life.  The musical is narrated by local actress Krista Tortura.  The narration is the story of a fictional Jewish Woman whose family escaped from the Holocaust.  That Holocaust history and DNA drives Sarah to reach out and work with other oppressed peoples who\, like her parents\, are fleeing from authoritarian regimes to seek safety in America.\nThe story bridges Sarah’s birth to her final realizations about death and about being a mother to two children.  The songs were written over a span of thirty-five years by the creator of the musical Alan Graf (civil rights lawyer and musician) and brought to life by Asheville musicians Charlie Shew (percussion); Jeff Hersk (bass); Em Hurley (guitar and vocals); Gary Rodberg (clarinet); and Nashville songsters Maria Callahan and T Calderon.\nThe musical stands out as a message not only to the Jewish community but to those who seek meaning\, justice and peace in a troubled world.

SUMMARY:Wes Collins Band
DESCRIPTION:At age 44\, Wes Collins and his wife Anita made a pact to become writers. She started writing fiction\, Wes penned his first song\, and few years later they were both multi-award-winners in their fields. Wes more than makes up for lost time with songs that dig deep and go to uncertain\, sometimes scary places. Come for a haunting melody and some intricate fingerpicking and stay for the wit and deep literary intelligence. There is always more to find in a Wes Collins song. \nAnd now Wes is flanked by musical heavyweights FJ Ventre on bass and harmonies\, Scott Dameron on guitars\, and Barry Gray on guitar\, cajon\, drums and harmonies. The call themselves the Wes Collins Band\, and they drive\, groove\, and tiptoe. Come see what we mean. \n“Wes Collins has a wonderful gift for telling stories from truly unique points of view. Every narrator in Jabberwockies reveals thoughts I’ve had but would certainly be terrified to express. Wes is a courageous songwriter. Wes also has that magical musical sensibility that makes me hit “repeat” on his songs. He makes my favorite records and he’s one of my ultimate favorite musical artists.” – Jaimee Harris \n“Wes Collins’ songs have a way of circling around my mood and elevating it. His music makes me feel better\, no matter how my day is going. I congratulate him on his new record Jabberwockies\, a stellar collection of new songs\, beautiful vocals\, and glorious harmonies by Jaimee Harris and Crystal Hariu-Damore. I can’t stop listening to it\, I love it!” – Mary Gauthier \n“You could hear a Wes Collins album all the way through without listening to a single lyric and be moved—his musicianship and musicality create a landscape in which you are thankful to lose yourself. But we listen to lyrics\, and Wes can spin a story. His use of language\, and his voice\, bring you layers deeper than you planned to go\, but you don’t want to leave.”- Crystal & Pete Damore\, Ordinary Elephant \n“He credits many other singer/songwriters in his musical tent as inspiration\, including Neil Finn\, Gillian Welch\, Bruce Cockburn and Patty Griffin\, but Collins is well on his way to establishing his own voice as one we should value.” – North Carolina Arts Council
