Did you know that Buncombe County Special Collections collects, preserves, and provides access not only to photos, documents, books, and letters but also to audiovisual materials such as event recordings and oral history interviews? In order to increase access to these materials, BCSC has been hard at work digitizing audiocassettes, migrating CDs/DVDs, and uploading digitized or born-digital recordings to a dedicated page on the Internet Archive.

Volunteers are needed to make sure that these resources are transcribed so that researchers can more easily find and search for the topics they need. Contact BCSC to learn how you can help by transcribing interviews from home!

John Kirby and the New Seniors were born from fire under a full moon in the winter of 2019. Bonding over a mutual love of Van Halen and The Replacements, the three instantly connected and vowed their allegiance to rock and roll in both form and spirit. “We get to the chorus quick.. while also sticking it to the man…”.

Fueled by the guitar playing, singing and songwriting of John Kirby and anchored by the rhythm section of old school rockers John Hawkins (drums/vocals) and Chad Nance (bass/vocals), John Kirby and The New Seniors play guitar driven original rock with a little bit of power pop sprinkled on top.

Their music has also been described as “Punk/metal with a bouquet of guitar based pop”, “A cross between Westerberg and Petty” and “Nicely crafted power punk”.

Always looking to forge ahead, the band released their first EP “Don’t Kill the Magic” in September of 2019 and have followed that up with 9 singles and 1 live album release. The band will release their first full length album in early spring. JKandTNS also continues to be involved in the Black Mountain based Holy Crap Records music community.

Clarinetist Steve Loew and pianist/Artistic Director Daniel Weiser return to Isis for another exciting “JEWISH JAZZ” program, an exploration into the intersection of Klezmer-style music and the birth of American Jazz.   As Jewish immigrants and Klezmer musicians flowed into New York during the first decades of the 20th century, they combined with African-American migrants and Blues performers moving from the South and an exciting new American music was born.  This concert includes music by Gershwin, Goodman, and Joplin as well as Blues, Ragtime, Dixieland, and some Jewish Suites that reveal the close relationship between the Jewish and Jazz musical idioms.  They will finish the program with a rousing rendition of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.”
