Citron Gallery presents REFLECTIONS, a group exhibition featuring new works by a diverse range of national and international artists. Consisting of both literal and metaphorical meanings, reflections can appear in many different forms. The physical nature of light alters appearances and can reveal unexpected sensations. Reflections can also be internal; emotional, spiritual or cerebral, revealing distant memories. These artists have created works that aim to portray an inner dialogue for the viewer. Join us for an evening of art, music, light refreshments, and conversation.
Exhibiting artists include: Allison B. Cooke, Anna Carll, Dorothy Ganek, Eric Abrecht, Kieta Jackson, Kento Saisho, Lauren Betty, and Rand Kramer
Additional works by: Cliff Warner, Joshua Meyer
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 20th, 2023 | 5 PM – 8 PM

Join Zoe & Cloyd for a celebration of their fifth studio album, Songs of Our Grandfathers!
Asheville-based Zoe & Cloyd’s music highlights their emotive songwriting and signature harmonies, with four albums to date that showcase the breadth of their collective musical spirit, seamlessly combining original bluegrass, klezmer, old-time and folk with sincerity and zeal. Now, Zoe & Cloyd are releasing an album inspired by their grandfathers’ musical histories in bluegrass and klezmer music, entitled Songs of Our Grandfathers.
For Natalya Zoe Weinstein and John Cloyd Miller of Organic Records’ semi-eponymous Zoe & Cloyd, tradition is less a choice in musical styles than it is a family legacy — or, to be more precise, a pair of legacies: Miller is the grandson of original bluegrass fiddler Jim Shumate, while Weinstein’s grandfather, David, was a klezmer musician who made his living on flute, clarinet and saxophone. The duo have woven these musical strands together before, but now they’re taking the fusion to a new level in an entire project.
“Songs of Our Grandfathers is inspired by the 1995 album by David Grisman and Andy Statman entitled Songs of Our Fathers, a beautiful project composed of Jewish and klezmer music,” they offer. “We conceived our album in a similar vein, albeit with klezmer and bluegrass, as an homage to our grandfathers and their unique musical stories.”
The duo will be joined by Kevin Kehrberg on upright bass and Bennett Sullivan on banjo and guitar for their album release show.
Their previous appearances at White Horse have all been very well attended.
Thus, advance ticket purchases are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!

Natalya Zoe Weinstein and John Cloyd Miller will be joined by Kevin Kehrberg on upright bass and Bennett Sullivan on banjo and guitar. Doors open at 7 PM with the performance beginning at 8 PM.
