SUMMARY:Tuatha Dea
DESCRIPTION:Tuatha Dea combines primal rhythms\, melodic and ethereal ballads\, and screaming guitar riffs with an Appalachian/Celtic vibe. Born of a family drum circle\, they deliver an authentic tribal and clannish feel that not only draws the audience into the music but also into the moment and clan as well. Their rhythmic groove and interaction naturally inspire audience participation\, which has become a staple of their performances. From the beginning\, the band has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland with its own bold blend of mainstream rock\, mountain drumming\, and Appalachian blues to produce a truly unique sound that has a universal appeal! Dubbed “The Eclectic Steam-Punk Partridge Family in Kilts and Corsets” and “The Appalachian Fae”\, this band is REAL family!!!

SUMMARY:The Music Of Norah Jones & Bonnie Raitt featuring Lillie Syracuse
DESCRIPTION:Lillie Syracuse’s music pours deep from the heart of the in between. For a decade\, Lillie honed her craft in Nashville\, TN\, where she wrote and released her debut album Coming Up Diamonds in 2020\, with producer and Grammy-nominated drummer Mike Marsh (The Avett Brothers\, Dashboard Confessional). Lillie was raised in Pumpkintown\, SC\, the cradle of Table Rock Mountain. Just as her heart was woven from tree\, waterfall\, birdsong\, and red mountain clay\, so was her songwriting. Lillie’s hope in song-craft is to foster shifts towards a deeper connection with nature\, community\, authenticity\, creativity\, and magic in the lives of those who hear her music. The Appalachian Mountains have now called Lillie home. She lives in Brevard\, NC\, and will be releasing her first self-produced album in 2024. \nSaturday\, November 29th at 7:30 pm – We want everyone to access the healing power of music!

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
