White Horse Black Mountain Features Jazz Vocalist Maddy Winer
Maddy Winer and celebrated jazz guitarist Vince Lewis reunite at the White Horse Black Mountain, On December 5, 2018 at 7:00PM. Maddy and Vince will pay tribute to the artists whose popular songs shaped Americas musical identity – Great American Songbook favorites spanning the era of George Gershwin to Bill Joel. Of course, timeless popular Christmas songs will also be featured. Special guest artists: Bill Stowe on drums and Bill Fouty on upright Bass. Advance tickets are $10 at www.whitehorseblackmountain.com. Telephone: (828) 669-0816
“Maddy Winer has great musical instincts, a wonderful sound and best of all she knows how to read a lyric,” says legendary jazz guitarist Mundell Lowe. “I love the way Maddy and Vince work together on this CD; I feel as if musically they were thinking as one.”
Recording artist Maddy Winer is known for her effortless interpretation and jazz styling of the Great American Songbook. Maddy has headlined concerts throughout the U.S. and Canada including New York’s prestigious Lincoln Center. She is also a featured performer on the popular PBS special “Loonis McGlohon & Friends.” Maddy has appeared with countless jazz legends including Dave Brubeck, David Sanborn, Cyrus Chestnut, Joe Sample, George Shearing, Ellis Marsalis and Al Jarreau.
Her latest CD CROSSROADS features Maddy with legendary jazz guitarist Vince Lewis. The free-flowing musical interaction translates into the energy and excitement of a live performance, as opposed to just another recording session.
“Crossroads takes the listener on a musical journey of timeless standards representing the heart and soul of the Great American Songbook,” says Maddy. “I have always had a passion for the works of Antonio Carlos Jobim and included two of his classics that I love to sing. I also pay tribute to the contemporary works of Joni Mitchell and Van Morrison.”
You can listen to Maddy Winer’s music on Pandora Radio or by visiting her website: www.maddywiner.com.

One stop holiday shopping featuring over 15 local artists and small business owners. Food samples provided by the Creperie & Cafe
Join us this Sunday from 1-3 pm as Leaflin leads you through a Pranayama, Mantras, and Meditation workshop. In this workshop we will:
~ discover the meanings of the words “pranayama” & “mantra”, what these techniques are and how they can assist in meditation
~ explore what meditation is and why it is an essential practice
~ learn simple and potent practices that can be used daily to establish a foundation Even modern science says it’s true – Meditation is good for you! Nevertheless, for many modern yogis the idea of meditation and sanskrit words like “pranayama” and “mantra” conjure notions of ancient yogis in mountain caves or monks in robes, or may seem appealing but ultimately elusive and reserved for yoga teachers and the “super-spiritual”. This event will illuminate these concepts and offer powerful tools that any willing human can use to facilitate (and feel the benefits of!) a meditative mindset – whether in a cave or in a corner of the living room; in monk robes, yoga pants or pajamas.
