Andy Cohen, Master Blues Musician, with Ash Devine in Concert at Flood Gallery

Andy Cohen rolls through Asheville, NC on a rare occasion. Join us for a special concert of piedmont blues, road worthy fingerstyle folk blues, and other heartfelt original tunes! Andy is a connoisseur of Rev. Gary David repertoire on guitar, and a general life long student of all blues style. Cohen has been on the road for almost 50 years, and at 72, still wanders the countryside with a car load of character and instruments. Ash Devine, friend, surrogate niece, and student of Andy Cohen, will accompany for a few originals, traditional songs from WNC, Carter Family repertoire, and more.

The concert is based on a sliding scale. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Hearts Gone South plays original classic-style country and honky tonk full of heart and soul, laced with wit and woe.

Hearts Gone South’s sound has been described as “ the sweet spot between vintage country and modern production values — that make the band’s original tunes sound and feel warmly familiar.” – Bill Kopp, author, music journalist, historian, collector, and musician.

Led by vocalist Tricia Tripp, this cast and crew of all star players (JP Parsons,-tele, Casey Saulpaugh – pedal steel, Scott Thomas- drums, and Landon George- bass) bring fire and feeling to the age-old stories of heartbreak, love, and victory for the underdog. From tear-soaked ballads, to heartfelt dance tunes, to twangy barn burners, Hearts Gone South shoots straight from the hip with impassioned vocals, a tight rhythm section, and smoking leads, to hit their target dead on.

A band rooted in a love of old country, and branching out into their own firebrand of the genre, Hearts Gone South will win your heart over with their original country, shining like diamonds in a rhinestone world.

(Flat Rock, NC) Musical students, alumni and instructor Dewitt Tipton of Furman University will perform a special choral evensong and organ recital Sunday, June 23rd. It will be held inside the sanctuary of The Episcopal Church of Saint John in the Wilderness at 4pm.

“The music program of the church is pleased to offer this service to the community in commemoration of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, our patron saint,” says Tipton, also organist and music director of Saint John in the Wilderness.

Featured choral music will come from across the centuries, including recently composed organ pieces by Robert Powell of Greenville, South Carolina. Maggie Ramirez, Abbie Schlictmann, Salleigh Harvey, Will Booker and Shalick Smith are among the performers.

Tipton adds, “The lovely and contemplative service of Choral Evensong is one of the most beautiful traditions of the Anglican Church. Included in the liturgy are hymns, ancient canticles, scripture readings, prayers, choral anthems and organ music.”

Admission is free, however donations will be gratefully accepted to benefit the newly constructed Parish Hall.
