SUMMARY:Into the Woods JR\, Live on stage
DESCRIPTION:ASHEVILLE JUNIOR THEATER PRESENTS\nInto the Woods JR. \nThursday – Saturday\, August 22-24\, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.\nSaturday\, August 24\, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. and Sunday\, August 25\, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. \nA new take on Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s groundbreaking musical fairytale about wishes and the choices we make. \nBe careful what you wish for\, as Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this Asheville Junior Theater adaptation of their groundbreaking\, Tony Award-winning musical. Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella\, Little Red Riding Hood\, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables. \nThe musical centers on a baker and his wife\, who wish to have a child; Cinderella\, who wishes to attend the King’s festival; and Jack\, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse\, the two set off on a journey to break the curse\, and wind up changed forever. \nAsheville Junior Theater has re-imagined how to tell this Sondheim classic with an artsy and creative twist. Expect minimal sets and mature costuming\, with a keen focus on acting\, singing and movement. Strip away the pomp and circumstance to highlight the deep meaning behind this allegorical tale told mostly through song. \nDiffering from AJT’s shows you have grown to know and love\, this black-box re-imagining is best suited for adults and children who are 8 years of age and up. \nRun time is approximately 75 minutes and does not have an intermission.  \nTHIS SHOW WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF! THE ACTING\, SINGING AND DANCING IS INCREDIBLE!

SUMMARY:Life Like Water & Høly River
DESCRIPTION:Life Like Water\, featuring Matt Smith on pedal steel\, dobro and electric guitar is set to perform at Hawk & Hawthorne on Saturday\, August 24. Richmond\, Virginia’s Høly River will also perform.  \nLife Like Water is the creation of multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter\, David Matters. It was initially started as a way for him to process his turbulent past and navigate an uncertain future\, but it has since evolved into a communal effort to celebrate the human experience.  \nWith a focus on hypnotic rhythms\, heartfelt lyrics\, and melodies that contain flavors of Africa\, Ireland and the Middle East\, the music of this eclectic ensemble is sure to uplift and inspire.  \nThe concert will also feature the music of Høly River. The music of Høly River carries the message of humanity’s need for reconnection with the earth. Mystically political and wholeheartedly grassroots\, this DIY band finds themselves playing on large festival stages as well as backyard fire pits of intentional communities around the world. \nHøly River was founded by multi-instrumentalists Laney Sullivan and Jameson Price. Fusing together the pulse of drone pop\, worldly instrumentation\, this experimental music would best be described as a landscape\, as a biome all its own. This musical phenomenon has come to be known as “Earth folk\,” a type of music inspired thematically by the natural environment: flora\, fauna\, soil\, stars\, and the human experience. From harmonium engulfed melodies to mouth-harp stomp grass\, Høly River taps into an embodied and innate celebration of internal and external worlds\, attempting to bring them closer together with each beat. On record or in-person\, a listener is entranced in the soaring vocal ballads bathed in the moonlight of dance beats and folk-inspired roots.  \nBefore the evening performance\, David Matters and Valerie Scott will also present The Creative Body: Legs and Feet\, an embodied anatomy journey accompanied by multi-instrumental\, live-looped melodies and rhythms. \n“Come explore the form and function of our legs and feet\, the symbolic meaning of these body parts\, and how creative play can deepen our connection to our physical and expressive selves.”

SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: Ken Vandermark + PNL
DESCRIPTION:Performance: Ken Vandermark and PNL\nFriday\, August 30 at 7pm\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}\nTICKETS – $15 General Admission / $10 BMCM+AC members + Students w/ID \nBMCM+AC presents the duo Ken Vandermark (reeds) and PNL (drums) for a high-energy evening concert. \nThe high impact duo of PNL (drums) and Ken Vandermark (reeds) has been working together for more than two decades\, touring in Europe\, the United States\, Japan\, and Brazil\, and releasing 11 albums of critically acclaimed\, wide ranging improvised music throughout that period. Though they have both worked in many other exceptional groups- such as the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet and Lean Left (with Terrie Hessels and Andy Moor of The Ex)- they have continued to return to their duo for more than 20 years because it remains crucial to their creative output. \nPNL and Vandermark began this collaboration when they recorded their initial album\, Dual Pleasure\, for the label Smalltownsupersound\, in 2002.  Shortly afterward\, they performed their first concert at the Molde International Jazz Festival. Since then\, they’ve performed on an international basis every year. Their approach to the duo context is ferocious in its intensity\, combining extreme rhythmic velocity with formal deconstruction and re-assembly\, with the freedom to use any genre as a resource at any time. In many ways\, PNL and Vandermark are more open in this setting than with any of their other playing situations\, creating a unique approach to improvised music that is riveting in its ideas and execution. \nThe duo’s most recent tours occurred in both Brazil and Japan during 2019.  The pair will return to Japan in January of 2024\, for a series of concerts that will coincide with the release of the PNL & Ken Vandermark: JAPAN 2019 boxset of recordings\, which includes collaborations with legendary Japanese musicians: Akira Sakata\, Masahiko Satoh\, and Yuji Takahashi. \nKen Vandermark (USA 1964) is an avant-garde composer\, improviser\, saxophonist/clarinetist\, curator\, and writer; in 1999 was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in music.  He moved to Chicago from Boston in 1989 and has worked continuously from the early 1990s onward\, both as a performer and organizer in North America\, Europe\, Latin America\, Japan\, and Ethiopia\, recording in a large array of contexts\, with many internationally renowned musicians. \nHis current group activity includes the bands Edition Redux\, Lean Left\, The DKV Trio\, DEK\, his large ensemble Entr’acte\, the ongoing Momentum projects; duos with Terrie Ex\, Christof Kurzmann\, Damon Locks\, PNL\, Mars Williams\, and Nate Wooley; and work as a solo performer.  Ken co-founded Catalytic Sound in 2012\, an organization dedicated to the economic sustainability of creative improvising musicians and has been its director since then.  In 2014 he began Audiographic Records\, an independent music label.  Since June of 2015 Ken has been co-curator of Option\, a music and interview series held at Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago.  Half of each year is spent touring in Europe\, North America\, Latin America\, and Japan; his concerts and numerous recordings have been critically acclaimed at home and abroad. \nPNL was born in Molde\, Norway\, and raised at a jazz club in Stavanger run by his parents. It was natural to choose his fathers drums as his instrument and jazz as his work. From 1990 on he took actively part in the jazz milieu in Stavanger and joined bands with established musicians such as trumpeter Didrik Ingvaldsen and saxophonist Frode Gjerstad. He studied at the Jazz dept at the University in Trondheim\, where the first self initiated bands were established\, and things developed really fast – PNL was nationally acknowledged at the age of 20. \nThe forming of the quartet Element in 1993 in many ways represented the start of a new phase in PNL’s musical life. Element musically became a platform for several other groups with bassist Flaten and pianist Wiik\, and lead to collaborations with Iain Ballamy and Chris Potter\, amongst others. \nPNL moved to Oslo in 1996\, where he joined and/or took part in the forming of bands like Vindaloo\, SAN\, Håkon Kornstad Tio\, The Quintet and Frode Gjerstad Trio. He later on got more into self initiated projects and collaborations with Swedish musicians\, such as pianist Sten Sandell and saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. PNL played his first solo concert in 1999\, and since then the solo concept has been an important part of his work. His solo album “Sticks and stones” was put out in 2001 on SOFA Rec. Being active in several bands at the same time has always been PNL’s deliberate working method. He is constantly conscious about the projects he is in\, as his participation in each and one of them is fully dedicated. Playing is not about getting from start to goal\, but rather being in an everlasting process\, a continuous movement where each new piece of music performed is a prolongation of the latest. Today PNL’s portfolio includes Atomic\, School Days\, The Thing\, Frode Gjerstad Trio\, Sten Sandell Trio\, Scorch Trio\, Territory Band\, FME\, and various duo projects such as with reedmen Ken Vandermark\, John Butcher\, Mats Gustafsson\, organist Nils Henrik Asheim and noise wizard Lasse Marhaug\, and the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet. Before turning 30 PNL cemented his position as one of the most profiled drummers in Europe today. He has given countless performances at festivals and clubs in Europe and USA and participated on more than 50 recordings. He runs his own annual festival – All Ears – for improvised music in Oslo.
