SUMMARY:Sunset Performance Series: Durty Dub’s Tribute to Charley Pride
DESCRIPTION:At PNC USCT Park\, on CAM grounds | FREE; $5 Suggested Donation \nJoin us outside at the PNC USCT Park for an evening of classic country reimagined. In this intimate duo performance\, Durty Dub and powerhouse vocalist Myk’l Hanna breathe new life into the music of Charley Pride\, one of country’s most prolific and groundbreaking artists. With heartfelt storytelling and rich harmonies\, they’ll take you through Pride’s hits with a blend of soul\, gospel\, and reggae influences that feel both reverent and fresh. \nDurty Dub renders Charley Pride’s classic country anthems faithfully while refreshing some pieces with reggae\, soul and gospel adaptations. Tonight\, he’ll offer an intimate duo performance with vocalist Myk’l Hanna\, adding some background and fun stories about the man himself. Roll Pride! \nAs the sun sets over the Boundless installation by Stephen Hayes\, settle in for live music that celebrates legacy and genre-defying creativity. Bring your own chair or blanket and enjoy the laid-back\, community vibe CAM’s Sunset Performance Series is known for. Free and open to all. \nMore About the Artists:\nDurty Dub first learned who Charley Pride was from his grandmother after one fateful thanksgiving dinner in 2016. An article in Jet magazine led her to recount Pride’s incredible legacy\, including 36 #1 hit singles\, over 70 million albums sold\, 31 gold and 4 platinum albums – including one quadruple platinum. Also\, on RCA Records he is second in sales on RCA only to Elvis Presley. \nFascinated by the storied success of one of country music’s few (at the time) black artists\, Dub set out to digest Pride’s extensive catalog and learn more about the man. The next step was to put a tribute band together\, consisting of NC’s most versatile musicians\, including vocalist Michael Hanna\, percussionist Atiba Rorie [Africa Unplugged]\, bassist Kenny Phelps-McKeown [Ellis Dyson & The Shambles] & drummer Devin Fuller [Emily Musolino]. The band has also been joined on occasion by slide-guitar slinger\, Phil Cook [Bruce Hornsby\, Hiss Golden Messenger]. \nWith this personnel\, Dub soon found that he was able to render Pride’s classic country anthems faithfully while refreshing some of the pieces with reggae\, soul and gospel adaptations. Since then\, the project has gone on to share the stage with H.C. McEntire\, Gangstagrass\, and play the mainstage at the 2019 Beaufort Music Festival.

SUMMARY:Reception: Pop Up Exhibit – Fabio Napoleoni
DESCRIPTION:Beginning March 6th\, in collaboration with The Gallery of Fine Art\, we are thrilled to offer a pop up art exhibit with the works of Fabio Napoleoni.  This exhibit will feature a variety of limited edition prints by the artist. \nWhat the heart wants and the heart needs can be found in a Fabio Napoleoni painting. Nostalgia\, sorrow and moments that lift the soul are all there for the world to see and experience along with him. The vivid colors and captivating characters invite you into an emotional ride that is welcomed by the mind and the heart. Simple landscapes set the stage to the value of emotional attachment that can be compared to no other. Influences from some of this century’s greatest artists are hard to find in his pieces\, but are drenched deep in the fabric of what puts a Napoleoni painting together. \nThis exhibit will run through April 19th\, alongside a new selection of featured works by our 30+ Gallery Artists! \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, March 29th\, 2-5pm for a Special Reception. This event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:From China to Appalachia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a genre-blending journey where Grammy winners Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer join Chia Tian to unite Chinese and Appalachian folk traditions in harmony. \nCATHY FINK & MARCY MARXER\nTwo-time GRAMMY® Award Winners\, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer are master musicians with a career spanning over 40 years. Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the guitar\, five-string banjo\, ukulele\, mandolin\, cello-banjo\, and many other instruments. An eclectic folk festival on their own terms\, their repertoire ranges from classic country to western swing\, gypsy jazz to bluegrass\, and old-time string band to contemporary folk including some original gems. Their versatility defies a brief description\, perhaps “well rounded Americana” does it best. \nCathy & Marcy have performed at hundreds of bluegrass and folk festivals and taught at close to 100 music camps. The Washington Area Music Association has recognized the duo with over 65 WAMMIE Awards for folk\, bluegrass and children’s music. They have been GRAMMY nominated 12 times for their folk and children’s music. They have performed with Pete Seeger\, Theodore Bikel\, Tom Paxton\, Patsy Montana\, Riders in the Sky and a wide range of musical luminaries.  \nCHAO TIAN\nChao Tian is a Chinese dulcimer virtuoso\, improviser\, sound designer\, and visual artist. Her dexterity has led to her breaking down barriers and working across creative genres. In her work\, she explores the distinct sounds and techniques of the Chinese dulcimer in order to create a multidimensional sensation of improvisation. Her creative interest is mainly in intercultural improvisation study: applications of Chinese musical aesthetics and vocabulary\, creative synthesis in cross-disciplinary improvisation: interactions among music\, dance\, and visual art\, and improvisation in folk music. Her latest project\, Unheard Sounds\, is dedicated to better exploring the practice of the immigration arts: artistic language reshaped by immigrant artists in cross-disciplinary collaboration. \nChao’s musical adventure started at the age of five\, and at the age of twelve\, she was admitted to Middle and High School Affiliated to China Conservatory of Music\, where she majored in Chinese dulcimer studies. She was afterward recommended for immediate admission to China Conservatory of Music\, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Traditional Chinese music performance (Yangqin) (2007) and a Master of Arts in Musicology (2010). She is currently a PhD student at Boston University in Ethnomusicology.
