SUMMARY:The Hungry & Dangerous
DESCRIPTION:THE HUNGRY & DANGEROUS\n“American rockers The Hungry & Dangerous dropped their debut self-titled record\, and it’s living proof that rock will never die.” – Rock Era Magazine Born in 2020 out of the chaos of a global shutdown\, The Hungry & Dangerous are a Nashville-based rock band on a mission to bring authentic\, no-frills rock ‘n’ roll back to the forefront.

Now featuring the addition of bassist Joe Barf and second guitarist Aiden Horne\, The Hungry & Dangerous have expanded their sound into an even bigger\, more dynamic live experience doubling down on soaring leads\, driving riffs\, and the larger-than-life energy they’ve become known for. Self-described as the “Insomniacs of Rock ‘N’ Roll\,” the band continues to carve out their place in the modern rock landscape bringing grit\, attitude\, and a relentless live show that leaves no doubt: The Hungry & Dangerous are here to rock. \nHALOGI\nHailing from Asheville\, NC\, Halogi is a femme fronted power metal band. Formed in 2024\, Halogi is known for their heavy riffs\, clean vocals\, and lyrical themes ranging from feminism to climate change to mental illness.

SUMMARY:Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on the meaning of home\, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra presents a stirring program on the longing for beloved countrysides and pride of cherished folk music under the baton of Resident Conductor Christopher James Lees. Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony blends elements of the Czech composer’s heritage as he yearns for home with American musical influences in his excitement for a new land. Known for the moving “Simple Gifts” melody\, Copland’s Suite from Appalachian Spring offers a contrasting portrayal of a couple trying to establish their homestead in rural America in a work full of spirit and wonder.

SUMMARY:GALLERY WALK – LARRY RICCI\, WOODWORK ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Meet and talk with woodworking artist Larry Ricci during the Gallery Walk in July. \nOne of the greatest gifts Larry ever received was when his dad put tools in his hands when he was a kid. He was later inspired by the sculptural furniture of artist George Nakashima and visited the Nakashima studio often in the years that followed. After a 40+ year career in education\, he began working mostly with local\, highly figured hardwoods and burls to create unique pieces of art that maintain the organic beauty of the wood. The wood\, with its shape\, figure\, imperfections and voids\, is what draws his attention and curiosity. Sometimes the imperfections are what creates the greatest interest in studying the piece. Larry always attempts to balance form and function\, but sometimes one of those wins out.

SUMMARY:The White Buffalo
DESCRIPTION:THE WHITE BUFFALO \nFor The White Buffalo – aka singer / songwriter / guitarist Jake Smith\, Oregon-born\, Southern California-raised – it was time to take the less travelled path; to assemble notions for studio album Number 8\, the follow-up to ‘On The Widow’s Walk’ (Snakefarm\, 2020)\, and embark on a voyage of discovery. \nOut with the old\, the organic\, the expected\, the tried; in with the new – new producer\, new studio\, new location\, no distractions\, no looking back… \nEnter ‘Year Of The Dark Horse’… \n“You think we’re a country band? A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the fuck are you gonna say now?!” laughs Jake. “With this album\, I wanted something outside of what I’ve ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. I’m hard to put into a singular genre as it is\, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing. \n“And don’t ask me\, cos I don’t know what it is! It’s a genre-bending thing – there’s elements and influences from ELO\, Daniel Lanois\, Tom Waits\, The Boss\, circus\, pirate music\, yacht rock\, and I’m driving and pushing some of these numbers in a way I’ve never done before. \n“At the top of the pandemic\, I put the acoustic guitar on its stand\, got a synthesizer and began writing on it\, not really knowing how to play keys\, just exploring the different sounds and landscapes. In the not knowing\, it allowed me to expand my vocal melodies and compositions in ways the guitar had possibly limited.” \nWhen Jake\, flanked by regular touring / recording compadres\, bassist / keyboard player / guitarist Christopher Hoffee and drummer Matt Lynott\, crossed the threshold of East Nashville’s Neon Cross Studio\, a converted Southern Baptist Church\, he wasn’t chapter an’ verse prepared\, as usual. \nThe time before recording had been a crazy one\, so there were a bunch of loose ends to be tied (“I’m a perpetual procrastinator” – Jake)\, plus only three of the 12 songs had been completely written. Jake had maps in his head\, but most were mere bones of compositions with only a few key lyrics penned. This allowed producer / studio owner Jay Joyce – plus trusted assistant\, Jason Hall – the wiggle room to really get involved\, to guide and explore new frontiers … \nHe’s a Grammy Award-winning Producer of the Year (2018)\, has 4 CMA and 5 ACM Awards\, and when it comes to making music\, the Ohio native is never one to take the obvious route – perfect for an album featuring a dozen musical vignettes\, individual yet constant in flow; an album loosely based around the shifting of the seasons and the shifting of a relationship; an album showing off the complete scope of Jake’s song-writing craft\, from the stripped back to the fully loaded…

SUMMARY:Straight No Chaser Beach Bash
DESCRIPTION:If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers\, ties\, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses… think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced\, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums\, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold\, over 1 billion streams on Pandora\, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Straight No Chaser is the real deal\, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.

SUMMARY:COPTIC BOUND JOURNAL WORKSHOP WITH ERIN KEANE
DESCRIPTION:Handmade journals are a joy to use for anything and everything\, any day\, every day. 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!
