Morgan Geer writes songs that could emerge from a highly blissed-out biker bar or a swampy ashram. \nThe new Drunken Prayer record\, Thy Burdens\, is an homage to the fiery music of the church. Partnering with Drive-By Truckers’ Bobby Matt Patton\, the pair recorded this album in North Mississippi with some of their friends from Appalachia and the Delta including members of MJ Lenderman’s band\, Band of Heathens\, Jimbo Mathis’ group\, and Wednesday. \nIn 2026 The Deslondes from New Orleans included Geer’s “Cordelia” on their covers album of influential songs. Alongside like minded artists as Johnny Cash\, Swamp Dogg\, and Clifton Chenier\, Glide Magazine says ”That song alone justifies this album’s existence.” \nMorgan Geer’s poignant and wickedly funny music is revered across the fringe of Americana. Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family said “Morgan Geer is the real thing – a songwriter with a heart as deep as the Marianas Trench and sensitive as the wet hands of a raccoon.” Geer also plays guitar in the pioneering alt-country band Freakwater and collaborates with members of Butthole Surfers\, Melvins and Ween. He started using the moniker “Drunken Prayer” after a chance conversation about rats with Tom Waits. \nDrunken Prayer is now a stalwart of the burgeoning scene in Asheville\, NC. Morgan Geer has recorded and toured with some of the cornerstones of what we call modern Americana music.

Kill Rock Stars is set to release a deluxe reissue that will be completely remastered and pressed on an exclusive vinyl color. It will include a replica of their original six-song demo CD in the package\, along with a deluxe foil-stamped LP jacket.\nTo support the release\, Horse Feathers’ current ensemble of Justin Ringle (guitar\, vocals\, banjo)\, Nathan Crockett (violin\, saw)\, Halli Anderson of River Whyless (violin\, vocals)\, Kati Claborn of Blind Pilot (banjo\, vocals\, clarinet)\, and Luke Ydstie also of Blind Pilot (bass\, cello\, vocals) faithfully recreate the mood of the original release with taut dynamics and sensitive arrangements. \nIn the years following Words Are Dead\, Horse Feathers quietly built a body of work defi ned by patience and evolution rather than reinvention. Records like House With No Home\, Thistled Spring\, and Cynic’s New Year expanded their sonic palette without abandoning the restraint that fi rst set them apart. By the time of Appreciation\, the band had begun to open its sound outward\, introducing richer arrangements and a subtle warmth that suggested growth without rupture. Through it all\, Ringle remained a steady center\, writing songs that favored emotional precision over spectacle. \nThe reissue of Words Are Dead does not attempt to rewrite that history. Instead\, it brings the origin point back into focus\, offering a rare chance to hear where it all began while recognizing how far the project has traveled since. \nRevisiting the album now\, with two decades of distance\, reveals not just a beginning but a foundation. The same careful interplay\, the same attention to space and tone\, still anchors the band’s work today. In that sense\, the reissue feels less like a retrospective and more like a continuation. A reminder that some records do not age so much as they wait for the right moment to be heard again.

Coptic binding is a historical method of constructing a book by sewing folded sections of paper and attaching them to hard covers. Bookbinders use this binding for its beauty with an exposed spine\, functionality with pages that open flat\, and historical roots to perpetuate time-honored traditions. \nIn this class\, we will create a beautiful blank journal using Paired Needle Coptic Stitch\, which is a specific form of Coptic binding that uses multiple needles and multiple threads. Your journal will have a lovely chain stitch at every sewing station\, and it will be structurally strong and highly functional. \nAll materials and tools will be provided\, so you can arrive empty handed and relax into the experience. If you already have personal bookbinding tools and find them most comfortable\, please feel welcome to bring along. For the book covers\, I’ll have a variety of decorative papers to choose from including Nepalese Lokta\, Indian cotton\, Japanese Chiyogami. If you prefer your own decorative paper\, please feel welcome to bring along (for space and efficiency\, please pre-cut the paper to 8.5” x 11”). \nAll skill levels welcome. I look forward to working together and reveling in the stitching goodness! \nErin studied art at Miami University\, Ohio\, and graduated with an M.A. in Art Education. She moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains and taught at Brevard Middle School earning National Board Certification in Visual Arts. In 2011\, Erin moved into a new career stage\, becoming a professional artist and instructor. She works daily at her home studio near Pisgah National Forest\, and her adventures in the mountains\, lakes\, and rivers become embedded personally into her imagery.

The film goes in search of a greater understanding of this charismatic and enigmatic figure\, both through his relationships with his contemporaries and his ongoing artistic legacy. The film invites audiences to intimately examine Michelangelo’s art and artistic process – from the Carrara quarries where Michelangelo sourced his marble\, to the new technology being used to attribute works. The film also offers a rare chance to get up close to the mesmerizing Rothschild Bronzes\, which\, following an extensive research project carried out by Academics in Cambridge in 2015\, were positively attributed to Michelangelo after over a century of debate.
