SUMMARY:Jazz at CAM: Thrio
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 6 | 7 PM \nCAM Members: $40\nNot-Yet Members: $60\nStudents and Educators: $15 \nJoin us for Jazz at CAM as we present Thrio! \nExpect a performance filled with tight ensemble interplay\, rich improvisation\, and a deep reverence for the jazz tradition. With a sound that’s both grounded and exploratory\, Thrio brings fresh energy to originals and reimagined standards alike. \nJazz at CAM is must for jazz lovers in the Wilmington area! \nCAM Café is open for dinner the night of jazz performances. If you’d like to have dinner before the show\, please reserve a table by calling (910) 777-2363. If attending the jazz show\, we recommend making your reservation time no later than 6 PM to ensure you make it to the performance on time. \nABOUT THE GROUP \nThrio is the uncompromising sound of pianist Andrew Berinson\, bassist Paul Creel\, and drummer Donovan Cheatham—three deeply connected musicians whose artistry is rooted in the straight-ahead jazz tradition while embracing creative exploration. Formed in central North Carolina\, Thrio presents a compelling blend of original compositions and reimagined American standards\, delivered with clarity\, swing\, and purpose. \nThe group emerged organically from years of collaboration\, musical kinship\, and shared spiritual and artistic values. Thrio is a band in the truest sense—three distinct\, consistent musical voices committed to creating something greater together. Their sound reflects not only their diverse musical influences but also a bond forged by brotherhood\, faith\, and a shared devotion to the music. Thrio released their debut single Find Your Way in August 2022\, followed by their first full-length album Thrio Volume 1 just one month later. Their latest release\, Thrio Volume 2\, dropped worldwide on March 21\, 2025\, showcasing the group’s growth in dynamic range\, compositional depth\, and ensemble cohesion. \nIndividually and collectively\, the members of Thrio have performed at premier events including the Duck Jazz Festival\, Savannah Jazz Festival\, Detroit Jazz Festival\, Topsail Jazz Festival\, and Jacksonville Jazz Festival. They are sought-after collaborators who regularly perform with notable figures such as Nnenna Freelon\, Pierce Freelon\, Carmen Lundy\, and Stephen Riley. Between them\, they have shared the stage with jazz luminaries including Branford Marsalis\, Ellis Marsalis\, Mary Stallings\, Joe Chambers\, Wallace Roney\, Nicholas Payton\, Herlin Riley\, Tia Fuller\, Wycliffe Gordon\, and many others. Thrio continues to carve a space for honest\, swinging\, and spiritually grounded jazz in the modern musical landscape.

SUMMARY:"2025 Annual Holiday Show" Featuring Clarence Mayo & Joan McLoughlin
DESCRIPTION:Art in Bloom Gallery is celebrating this holiday season through its Annual Holiday Show\, featuring the powerful exhibits of mixed-media painters Clarence Mayo and Joan McLoughlin! Combining strong color with unconventional materials\, Clarence’s playful creations draw from instinct\, cultural echoes\, and his own personal roots. Meanwhile\, inspired by the renewal of nature and the energy of abstraction\, Joan works freely to express a love of life\, imagination\, joy and hope.  \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, November 9th\, 2-5pm for our Holiday Show Reception! Enjoy special refreshments\, meet our artists\, and enjoy live music by guitarist Miles Moore! Delight in the discovery of our 30+ Gallery Artists’ new holiday creations\, and shop for one-of-a-kind gifts that are sure to bring smiles all year-round! \nClarence Mayo: “The Evolution of Identity: Defining Myself” \nMy work explores the interplay of strong colors\, textures\, and unconventional materials. I experiment with plaster\, drywall compound\, silicone acrylic chalk\, modeling paste\, wallpaper adhesive\, acrylic paint\, oil stick\, and cold wax and oil – applied with whatever tool feels right in the moment: brushes\, palette knives\, credit cards\, plastic bags\, fingers\, spoons\, and forks. \nThese studies often emerge as intuitive\, primitive\, childlike\, and abstract expressionist. They reflect a deep curiosity about form and surface\, while drawing inspiration from African art symbolism\, outsider art\, and my own family history. Each piece is a layered exploration of material and memory\, shaped as much by play and instinct as by cultural echoes and personal roots. \nJoan McLoughlin: “Awakening” \nMy paintings are celebrations of color\, movement and emotion.  \nInspired by trees\, flowers\, and the energy of abstract form\, I work in a loose\, lively style that embraces freedom and spontaneity. \nThrough variations of size and vibrant hue\, I wish to express growth\, rebirth\, and new beginnings. Each canvas is a reflection of the heart\, an exploration of optimism and possibility. \nI invite viewers to feel the same sense of love of life\, imagination\, joy and hope that can be found in my paintings.
