SUMMARY:CLASSICAL CONNECTIONS: FEATURING TIFT MERRITT
DESCRIPTION:Centered on the ideas of redemption\, recovery\, and resilience\, this Classical Connections program takes its inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi: repairing broken pottery with gold and other beautiful materials – highlighting\, rather than hiding\, an object’s brokenness\, and making the repair itself a thing of beauty.

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.
