Robin Lewis Music:
Singer-songwriter Robin Lewis has a voice that has been described as intoxicating and warm. She recently relocated from Fort Collins, CO to Asheville, NC. She has strong soul and jazz influences from her childhood, however, the allure of poetic language, story telling, and simplicity led her to folk music. The combination of soulful vocals and simple guitar fingerpicking create a soothing sound. She received an honorable mention in the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Troubadour competition, along with songwriters from all over the nation. Robin has played at The Mishawaka, The Aggie Theatre and many other venues.

“Earthwork” is a word used to describe a constructed bank of dirt, often raised in ancient cultures as a means of defense. Earth Works is a book of essays and rituals for a time of deep cultural change, a shift that author Byron Ballard calls “Tower Time.” The first part of the book explores scenarios in these chaotic times and suggests possible reframing to understand the historical underpinnings and the long-term effects on both the planet and its inhabitants. The second part of the book–called Berms–consists of tried-and-true rituals and ceremonies for communities, small groups, and individuals to improve resilience and face inevitable change with courage, consideration, and humor. Ballard has decades of ritual experience and brings that understanding to the practical and esoteric considerations of making ceremony both personal and powerful. You will find ideas here and inspiration–and something like hope.

The Cube of Truth is a peaceful static demonstration akin to an art performance.

“What started out as an indie-rock band called Elonzo some years ago, has developed into a string project by the band’s singer/guitarist, Jeremy Davis. Elonzo Wesley now features a stand-up bass, fiddle and mandolin, which create solid sonic layers, while four-part harmonies only enhance Davis’ personal and emotional lyrics.” ~ Creative Loafing

FREE PATIO SHOW :: White Oak Splits at The Grey Eagle

The Splits call Madison County home, and it’s from this lush high-country that they draw much of their inspiration; the craggy peaks, dark hollers, roaring rivers, and quiet meadows all serving as backdrops for their ever-evolving soundscapes.

All four members boast a musical interest unique from their bandmates, which lends itself to sonic collaboration and psychedelic experimentation ranging in styles from surf to country, blues to thrash, sludge to jazz, all of it swirling together into a style they refer to as Holler Boogie. No matter the set, bring your dancing shoes. It’s fixing to get loud.

FILM SYNOPSIS
Imagine a youth pastor (aka Cleo) whose love for a teenage girl puts his job at the church in jeopardy. No – not an under-age, pervy sorta love. We’re talking about a level of care and acceptance that most churches aren’t too fond of. (Now you’re wondering what her deal is, aren’t you?) The Elder Board puts Cleo in a two-week Jesus timeout, so he packs a bag, hits the road on his bike, and runs into a hairy guy named Larry traveling with his dead Dad. (Actually, Larry runs into Cleo, but we’ll leave that for the film.) All kinds of craziness ensues causing Cleo to question faith, sexuality, and Jesus…including how far is too far. It’s weird, and you’ll love it…we promise.

FILM NOT YET RATED: Profuse upper-body male nudity as well as a bit of cursing, alcohol, and drug usage.

WHY WE MADE THIS FILM
Have you ever imagined life as an adventurous road trip with bumps and twists and turns that take us to places we didn’t even know existed? We get to eat a lot of snacks and sing epic songs and ask each other crazy questions. Can you imagine if no question was off-limits or too far out there? What if we could talk about things like faith, sexuality, and Jesus without worrying about the church lady giving us a lemon-faced look of disapproval?

That’s what The Road to Edmond is all about – an indie film that’ll make you laugh out loud AND think deeply about your faith (even if you think you don’t have one). We’re not talking about a big-budget flick controlled by the Hollywood elite. We’re just a group of filmmakers and friends who care deeply about the big questions of life, and we want to have honest conversations about them. We believe this movie has the potential to create space for millions of people to ask meaningful questions that many of us have been too scared to ask.

Derek McCoy has been playing guitar for over 28 years after falling in love with the instrument at age 11. After years of playing in bands in North Carolina he moved to Atlanta Georgia to attend the Atlanta Institute of Music where he developed a deep love of jazz and improvisational music. He spent 15 years in Georgia playing with a wide variety of groups including a 12-piece funk band, countless jazz combos, R&B, Rock Cover bands and many more.

Now back in North Carolina, Derek has developed a reputation as one of Western North Carolina’s best guitar players. He spent quite a lot of time performing with a Traditional Country Music project, in which he developed a great appreciation for the guitar masters in that genre and has assimilated those new influences into his style. Now he is concentrating on his own Trio project which brings together all of his eclectic tastes into one interesting new breed of instrumental music.
