KEVIN GILLESPIE OF REVIVAL IN ATLANTA
With Nick Demos, Tryon Distributing
Friday, April 26, 2019
6:30 pm Cocktails | 7:15 pm Dinner

Revival is a nod to Chef Kevin’s formative years, offering a proper version of the traditional Sunday dinner. Following Kevin’s allegiance to Southern cuisine, Revival focuses on farm-fresh ingredients and a dining experience that reflects the traditions his own family follows. The restaurant’s menu is a reinterpretation of what one would find at Gillespie’s grandmother’s house: a classic, Southern spread that features farm-fresh ingredients and also showcases refined culinary techniques.

When guests dine at Revival, they will feel the importance of sitting down and sharing a meal with loved ones – the same traditions that Gillespie’s own family held dear, and that we honor at Half-Mile Farm.

Gillespie was a finalist in the sixth season of Top Chef, Bravo’s cooking competition show and was voted as the “Fan Favorite” contestant for the season.

Micah Scott: Whether he’s stompin’ out some country blues or folky ballads, playing an original tune or belting out a rootsy cover; Micah Scott puts his all into his live performances. Armed with a National Resophonic guitar, harmonica and some other choice gear, you’ll dig his offering of old meets new music.

Chris Wilhelm: “The Wilhelm Brothers are similar to the sounds of Damien Rice but with an Americana influence rather than Irish. There is a certain folk aspect in Wilhelm’s voice, guitar melodies and Ensslin’s bass lines, but when Ensslin’s beautiful cello melodies enter the mix, a unique fusion is created with a passion that is often found in classical pieces such as Bach’s Cello Suite.”
– Leena Dbouk, Spartanburg Herald Journal (Jul 10, 2014)

Chicago Don hosts the AGB Stage for our Big City Blues Jam. Come sign up to play!

Chicago, Detroit, New York. Bright lights. Big city. Get mesmerized in the sound of Big City Blues. Clear, sharp melodies on horns and harps contrast the deep, rich back beats of the electric bass. Keyboard riffs battle electric guitars that are on fire, and classic blues drum beats drive home the groove. Lose yourself in a night of soulful music reminiscent of Freddie King, Charlie Robison, Billie Holiday, Luther Allison in the smoke filled dance halls of the past.

Comic Legend Emo Philips…

Special Guest Toybox!

Benefit for Boxer Butts & Other Mutts
Tickets $20

Described by Jay Leno as “the best joke writer in America,” by British comedian Gary Delaney as the best joke writer in the world, and by “Weird Al” Yankovic as one of the funniest people on the planet, Emo Philips has performed over 6000 times throughout the English-speaking world, including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theater in London’s West End. Since starting out in Chicago in 1976 at the age of twenty, Emo has had award-winning comedy albums, several cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO), and many appearances on network television, both in America and in the UK. He has appeared in films (most notably, as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF) and has lent his distinctive voice to animated TV shows (such as Slacker Cats, Doctor Katz, Adventure Time, and Home Movies), but his first love, stand-up, remains his true one.

I’m thrilled to be returning to one of the most charming spots in America, Flat Rock, idyllically located half an hour south of Asheville, which itself is nothing to sneeze at in the charming department.

I’ll be performing full-length shows on Friday & Saturday at 8 PM.

The Friday show is for a boxer (the dog breed, this time) rescue charity. I know that’s not a boxer in the photo; please feel free to photo shop one in if you’re bothered by, and adept at, such things.

Jeff Michels (Rhythm guitar, vocals) began songwriting as soon as he strummed his first guitar at age 16 and hasn’t stopped. With influences as diverse as the Beatles, Dylan, David Bowie and Neil Young, Jeff’s brew of socially conscious Folk Rock originals and cover tunes offer a wide spectrum of listening experiences.
Paired with Steve Kirkland (electric guitar) and Jim Robertson (percussion, vocals), Jeff’s music lends itself to sonic re-interpretation of Rock and Roll.

Bio:
Matt Walsh is a singer, guitarist and songwriter from Statesville NC who performs solo or with his backup band around 200 shows a year throughout the southeast and beyond. His sound is influenced by anyone from Link Wray, Howlin’ Wolf, Prince, Black Sabbath or Pete Rock among many other musicians and styles of music. His primary focus is making original music and mixing his roots with new ideas rather than replicating them. The result reflects an exciting blend of many genres of music – early electric and hill country Blues, Rock, Rockabilly, Soul, Country, Garage Rock, Hip-Hop and Psychedelia among others. His exposure to music came first came from his mother through her love of Motown. In his youth, he was fascinated with various types of music and was always anxious when he heard a sound that was different or foreign to his ear. When he was 9 his mother took him to a Prince concert and Matt knew he wanted to be a musician.

Fifty years in music! Yes, it seems like quite an accomplishment. But if you look a little closer, you’ll find a boy fairly unconcerned with issues and events that most people think of as the future. You’ll see a guy who’s wondering what he did wrong to have to spend his high school years marching to English class in a military school uniform. Picture him putting down the rifle he was issued and picking up a guitar for the first time, and the look on his face when, at last, something made sense. And then, you might peer into the psyche of a young fella who loved the music of words enough to postpone the last stages of an art degree to follow his cellular desire to learn about that love and begin to understand. He understood that he was of an age to be sent against his will to southeast Asia to become a soldier. He had a different idea. Songs and the need to write them… Concerts made up of those songs and the joy of performing them in front of listening, responsive people.

These are the endeavors that propelled this young fella to follow his heart and refine his focus. Bigger and bigger audiences were soon to take notice and embrace this artist who so selflessly engaged with them. 250 shows a year in those early years. 19 albums and collaborations as evidence of his commitment. A little broadway, a touch of acting, some producing and “50 years goes.” Formative times with the horses in Nova Scotia, a decade or so in the Caribbean with the Rastas, a stubborn adherence to the sound of bronze strings on rosewood, an abiding love of the earth and all her daily miracles; these are a few of the colors on his palette that inform the man he has now become. You will discover a certain reverence and a sardonic humor in equal measure. You will now find an outward maturity and an inner, youthful exuberance combined in an intense and contagious love of life. When asked if he ever gets weary of singing “Sunshine” or “Shanty” or any of his earlier compositions, he replies, “Every night is a new night, every crowd is a different context and every performance feels like the first time.”

So, whether it’s a “Toys For Tots” Christmas Show for forty thousand people or a house concert down the street for 25 friends and neighbors and a couple of dogs, you receive the best from this man–every time he takes the stage. These are honest emotions to which wings are attached. An authentic story of art for the sake of art. This is original music based in history and tradition. Pianos, mandolins and fiddles…harmonicas, stand-up bass and lots of guitars; the recordings and the concerts both create an environment and an atmosphere that make his singing seem effortless and a spontaneous natural occurrence. And all of this without much concern for the future.

Peace, Love and Understanding through the gift of Music.
