2019 is the Year of Music in North Carolina and we are thrilled to announce a new concert series for the African American Music Trails of Eastern North Carolina. Six concerts will take place along the trails in Rocky Mount and Goldsboro. Swipe right for info about the first two shows, and hit the link in our bio for the full calendar of events.
The first-ever N.C. Veterans Songwriting Workshop is on the horizon, and there is still time to register. The free workshop will be led by Ron Capps, founder of the Veterans Writing Project, a national nonprofit organization that has provided more than 3,500 veterans, service members and military families the skills and confidence needed to tell their stories through the written word. Details at the link in our bio!
Billy Edd Wheeler is one of North Carolina's most successful songwriters. He's most famous for writing "Jackson," made popular by Johnny Cash and June Carter, but a little known fact is that his very first hit-song "The Reverend Mr. Black," made famous by the Kingston Trio, was written about John C. Campbell, founder of the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. His is an amazing story. Find it at the link in our bio.
Last August over 100 people gathered with us in Durham for a special celebration of the Corcoran Street Garage Wrap called “Durham in Continuum.” We felt so much support and joy in and for Durham that day, and our hearts go out to the city today. What was supposed to be a beautiful day filled with the official kick-off celebration of Durham’s 150th anniversary turned tragic after a gas explosion downtown. We are sending our love and thoughts to all affected.
J. Cole’s inaugural Dreamville Festival was a massive success. Forty thousand people flocked to Dorothea Dix Park to experience a day of music, art, food and more. North Carolina hip hop artists were well represented and we were thrilled to be on site celebrating the 209 North Carolina Year of Music with @comehearnc. Head over to their Facebook page for more photos from the event!
