Greenway ASAP

ACCLAIMED ARTIST GREG GREENWAY PERFORMS SHELTER BENEFIT IN DURHAM
Friday, October 2, 7 PM,
at St. Philip's Episcopal Church

From Carnegie Hall to Car Talk, talented singer/songwriter and expressive tenor Greg Greenway adds stealth, sublime and sometimes in-your-face political awareness to his progressive pop.

On his most recent recording, 2008's infectious Standing on the Side of Love, Greenway explores new sounds and expresses fresh views on justice—including the powerful track Sick & Tired, co-written with Kate Campbell, inspired by civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer's famous quote ("I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.")

Greenway brings his powerful, melodic original songs to downtown Durham Friday, October 2, at 7 PM, for the next Strings Attached concert. Join this talented artist in the Parish Hall of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 403 East Main Street (enter on Queen Street), for an evocative and entertaining evening. Tickets are $15 in advance ($20 on the day of show), $8 for ages 6-12 and childcare for those five and under is available on-site. Refreshments (including beer, wine, sodas and water along with sweet and savory snacks) will also be available. All profits from the concert benefits the work of Urban Ministries of Durham. Visit http://www.stphilipsdurham.org for more information and to purchase advance tickets.

The following day, Saturday, October 3, Durham's Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship hosts a social justice workshop entitled "Conversations Toward a Better World," in which Greenway provides musical inspiration for participants. Visit http://www.eruuf.org for more details and registration information.

Originally from Richmond, Greenway found Boston, with its rich folk tradition and support of folk musicians, better suited his emerging sound and artistry. Inspired after his father's death in 1990, Greenway left his rock band to pursue a now-storied solo career. Greenway draws inspiration from blues, gospel, jazz, rock and world music, yet at his core resides a tuneful and socially aware singer/songwriter. Described as "one of the strongest, and finest voices in folk music," The Boston Globe noted that he's, "confessional one moment, rambunctiously disarming the next....the songwriter stands squarely between the wistful intimacy of folk-pop and the progressive balladry of Phil Ochs and Woody Guthrie."

Greenway's performance highlights include shows at Carnegie Hall in the New York Singer/Songwriter Festival, rebroadcast on NPR's World Cafe; an appearance on the nationally syndicated music show Mountain Stage; and a show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoring Ochs. Greenway also figured prominently on CNN's World Beat in a segment about socially conscious artists and on NPR's Car Talk. He closed a late October 2006 rally at the University of Virginia, featuring NAACP Chair Julian Bond, with his stirring, signature rendition of U2's In the Name of Love.

In a recent acousticmusicscene.com interview, Kathy Sands-Boehmer enthused: "Greg Greenway is a positive force of change in this world. His powerful and inspirational lyrics shout out his humanity and soulfulness. It’s impossible not to stop everything you’re doing and listen to him."

Acoustic Eidolon 5/14 UMD Benefit Concert

COLORADO'S ACOUSTIC EIDOLON MAKES DURHAM DEBUT:
CONCERT BENEFITS URBAN MINISTRIES OF DURHAM

Thursday, May 14, 7 PM—Parish Hall, St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Durham

"A Sumptuous Instrumental Feast"
—Dirty Linen

"A Sublime Acoustic Duo"
—Boulder Weekly

"Complex,
Classy" —Providence Journal

Acoustic Eidolon may be new to some Triangle music fans. Soon, however, that will change when the Colorado-based husband/wife duo of Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire bring their inventive stringed interplay of original music and surprising covers to Durham, Thursday, May 14, at 7 PM. As the latest in the ongoing Strings Attached series of concerts benefiting the work and services of Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD), Acoustic Eidolon maintains the series' tradition of showcasing the finest in acoustic-based music from national touring acts.

ABOUT ACOUSTIC EIDOLON...
Besides guitar, bluegrass-raised Scott plays his own concoction, a double-neck, 14-string "Guit-jo" (looks like a guitar but sounds like guitar, piano, dulcimer, harp and other instruments), and classically-trained Alkire plays cello. Their original compositions and surprising covers ranges from bluegrass to blues, Celtic to classical, folk to Latin, country to classic rock (Beatles Eleanor Rigby, Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven).

Their unique blend finds fast fans in every stop. Over the last decade, Acoustic Eidolon has toured vigorously across North America and throughout Europe. The band and its recordings have been featured on public television and radio—including NPR's All Things Considered, John Diliberto's Echoes, Woodsong's Olde Time Radio Hour and numerous radio programs. The pair also performed for the Kennedy Center's acclaimed Millennium Stage concert series, the renowned Kerrville Folk Festival and Vancouver Island MusicFest. Acoustic Eidolon earns praise from critics and passionate accolades from fans. Their live shows include their trademark instrumental pieces along with some vocal selections for extra flavor.

With a January 1999 diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Alkire underwent chemotherapy and radiation until August of 2000. During that challenging time, their music offered a real lifeline. During the last several days of each round of chemo, when she felt the strongest, Alkire and Scott recorded tracks that resulted in their debut album, April 1999's Eidolon. Now seven albums later, Acoustic Eidolon shows no signs of slowing down. While Acoustic Eidolon's recordings attest to the band's unique sound and obvious musical talents, Scott's and Alkire's live
performances blend sophisticated playing with infectious energy and humor for an evening of exciting entertainment.

Advance tickets are on sale now for $15 ($8 for children 6-12; children 5 and under are free and childcare available). Day of show tickets are $20. Tickets may be purchased online at www.stphilipsdurham.org/stringsattached, by phone at 919-682-5708 or by mail.

Beloved Community

St. Philip’s Church Campus, Downtown Durham

First Annual

Beloved Community
Resource Fair & Picnic

SATURDAY, MAY 30,
10AM–3PM

MUSIC ♥ FOOD ♥ FRIENDSHIP

If you live, work or worship in downtown Durham, you already know there’s a divide. We’re not talking about black and white or good and evil, but of the haves and the haves-not. Those who have a home, have food to eat, and have clothing to put on each morning. And those who have little or nothing.

Today’s economic downturn is producing more and more need in our community, for both individuals and for families. And with the school year (and school lunches) ending, families living on the edge face even more pressure to get through each day in the summertime.

This resource fair and picnic will provide opportunities to give help to those in need. Opportunities to get help from a variety of service and aid institutions. And opportunities to share a meal, conversation and music with a greater part of your beloved Durham community.

Become a part of it. Please join this celebration of community and faith. Volunteers are still needed—contact Rich Ball Damberg at 919.688.4141 or damberg.rich@epa.gov.

Confirmed resource providers include Urban Ministries of Durham, Lincoln Community Health Center, Durham County Health Department, Latino Credit Union, Self Help Credit Union, and many other area churches and community organizations. There are opportunities for all to assist, even if only to welcome a stranger as you share a meal.

Give Help.
Get Help.
Find Hope.

John Gorka Concert Benefiting Urban Ministries of Durham

JOHN GORKA MAKES RARE AREA APPEARANCE:
CONCERT BENEFITS URBAN MINISTRIES OF DURHAM

Friday, February 13, 7 PM--Parish Hall, St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Durham

"Listening to John Gorka sing his brand of folk music, one can get goose bumps all over. There are many reasons--fresh lyrics, a stunning, emotional baritone voice, his twisted humor--but to focus on one limits the experience." --Robert P. Gluck, The New York Times

Strings Attached Productions, of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, proudly presents singer/songwriter/troubadour John Gorka in a special concert benefiting Urban Ministries of Durham. This legendary singer/songwriter, famed for his smart, slightly cynical lyrics and distinctive baritone, performs a special concert benefiting Urban Ministries of Durham, Friday, February 13, at 7 PM, in the Parish Hall of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in downtown Durham.

As one of the leaders of the new folk movement, this New Jersey native launched his career playing open mic nights at coffeehouses and bars along the Eastern Seaboard. After settling in Texas, Gorka won the Kerrville Folk Festival’s prestigious New Folk Award in 1984. Three years later he cut his debut album, I Know, for Red House Records. Recording and performing worldwide over the last two decades, Gorka remains among the most recognized voices in folk. His music is memorable and his words showcase sublime wit and character observations.

Writing in The Washington Post, music critic Richard Harrington observes that Gorka's songs, "...are notable for sharply etched character studies combining the humorous and the serious, as well as passionate social critiques." Visit http://snipurl.com/aziqw to view the four-minute official trailer for Gorka's new double DVD The Gypsy Life.

Although he tends to spend more than half the year on the road, Gorka's resisted the music cities and industry enclaves for the little town of Bethlehem, PA. The life of the traveling musician is not easy inspiring many songwriters to pen longing songs of weary road life but, ever the cynical optimist, Gorka sees bright sides to staying on the move. As he notes in The Gypsy Life, "People love you when they know you're leaving soon." And he'll indeed leave soon after his performance in Durham, Friday, February 13, at 7 PM. So don't miss this rare opportunity to experience John Gorka's lyrical poetry and memorable stories in this intimate, relaxed listening room environment. Strings Attached Concerts take place in the Parish Hall of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 403 East Main Street (at Queen Street), in downtown Durham. Refreshments, including sweet and savory snacks and water, sodas, wine and beer from Triangle Brewing Company, will be available. Free, monitored on-site parking is provided.

Advance tickets are on sale now for $15 ($8 for children 6-12; children 5 and under are free and childcare available). Day of show tickets are $20, if available. Tickets may be purchased online at www.stphilipsdurham.org/stringsattached, by phone at 682-5708 or by mail. Checks should be made payable and sent to: Strings Attached Productions PO Box 218 Durham NC 27702.

Americana Singer/Songwriter Mary Gauthier Performs Durham Shelter Benefit 10/24

MARY GAUTHIER PERFORMS UMD BENEFIT CONCERT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 7 PM

Parish Hall, St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Durham

"No more running away. I've made up my mind to stay. I'm gonna stand my ground, stare my demons down …"
--Mary Gauthier, "I Ain't Leaving"

Pick up any Mary Gauthier CD and you'll get an idea that this is something special. Play her songs and you know it's true. Truth is what defines Gauthier. Her songs may not be autobiographical, or they may be. Regardless, you know she knows of what she sings.

Between Daylight and Dark, Gauthier's most recent recording on the well-loved Lost Highway label, finds this talented writer seeking to define and find home. This longing for home fills Gauthier's album with hope and anguish, faith and fear. Insights that resonate with us all, especially with those for whom the non-denominational Urban Ministries of Durham serves day in and night out, now for a quarter of a century.

Strings Attached Productions, of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, proudly presents Mary Gauthier in a special concert benefiting UMD on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. Like UMD's clients, Gauthier knows these places well, having traveled through a night that stretched into years, from a turbulent Louisiana childhood through odd juxtapositions of accomplishment and devastation. Her music reflects the result of one who's lived in heaven, hell and purgatory. Starting as a trickle of songs almost from the moment of her sobriety to swelling into a well-stocked stream that fed her first two self-released albums (Dixie Kitchen, Drag Queens in Limousines), an indie-label release (Filth & Fire) and her stunning Lost Highway debut (Mercy Now).
 
Acclaim has followed Gauthier. Mercy Now was continuously "discovered" and lauded in the two years following its release, earning mentions on a score of year end "best of" lists in '05, including the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and No Depression. The album even received a benediction from Bob Dylan, who included one of its songs on a playlist for his XM Satellite Radio program.

Produced by Joe Henry, Between Daylight and Dark reflects her growth not just as a songwriter, but evolution as an artist. You have to look closely to see the difference, but it's there, like a flower pushing through rubble: an intimation of hope, a trace of sunrise in the troubled sky. It's in the understanding that even as a lover departs on "Before You Leave", Gauthier sings, "the light that used to shine behind your eyes gets brighter as you walk away".

Always been a unique lyricist, Gauthier manages to illuminate even moments of devastation and despair in beautiful hues. That gift is evident throughout Between Daylight and Dark, though her perspective has shifted somewhat. "As a writer, I'm figuring out what my job is today, in this instant," she explains, "What I did yesterday does not matter. I am more in the moment. I know instinctively when I'm onto something, and then I have to chase that feeling down until I find what it is I need to say in the song. My songwriting changes as I change, and though it's odd to admit it, I discover a lot about who I am in my songwriting. I can see how I've changed by looking back at how my songs have changed. The songs on this record are a little more fragile, a little more tender, and a lot more hopeful."

"I'll never get rid of that wild-child, going-to-jail, crazy-adolescence story," she admits. "But I've moved way past that thing. I'm ten years into songwriting. I've finished my fifth record. I've been a sober woman for a very long time, for many years longer than I wasn't.  I've matured--and my writing has matured."

Gauthier offers her audiences an opportunity to glimpse and grasp the beauty of grace found. Experience her stories in this intimate, listening room setting Friday, October 24, at 7 PM. Strings Attached Concerts take place next to UMD, in the Parish Hall of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, 403 E Main at Queen Streets, in downtown Durham. Refreshments (including beer from Triangle Brewing Company) will also be available. Parking is free and monitored. This is a Strings Attached Production; all profits benefit Urban Ministries of Durham.
 
Advance tickets are on sale now for $15 ($8 for children 6-12; younger childcare available). Day of show tickets are $20, if available. Checks should be made payable and sent to: Strings Attached Productions PO Box 218 Durham NC 27702.

MICHELLE MALONE SHELTER BENEFIT CONCERT, FRIDAY, 9/12, 7 PM

MICHELLE MALONE PERFORMS UMD BENEFIT CONCERT, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 7 PM Parish Hall, St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Durham

Somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne comes Michelle Malone alternating between soulful ballads and rowdy, riffy blasters. —ROLLING STONE

Talented folk/blues/rock artist Michelle Malone performs a benefit for Durham's space for homeless/needy assistance, the non-denominational Urban Ministries of Durham. This special, solo acoustic show takes place Friday, September 12, at 7 PM in the Parish Hall of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, 403 East Main Street, in downtown Durham.

The names of Michelle Malone's albums nearly serve as autobiography: New Experience, Relentless, For You Not For Them, Redemption Dream, Beneath the Devil Moon, Lucky To Be Live, Strange Bird, Hello Out There, Stompin' Ground, and last year's acclaimed Sugarfoot. Certainly each release records Michelle in a place and style that builds upon her past and looks to a bright future. Before writing the revelatory songs that fill those recordings, a musical upbringing serves as testimony that Michelle Malone was born to perform. Her mom, talented pop/gospel vocalist Karyn Folmar Malone, let her tag along to shows and Michelle soaked it up. The Atlanta native considered med school while an undergrad at Agnes Scott College; deciding instead to play music—and pay her dues, sometimes calling the street home as she honed her craft.

The hard work paid off and the singer/songwriter/rock'n'roller/folk'n'blues/guitar great hit Atlanta's favorite live music haunts. With encouragement from close friends Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, the Grammy-winning Indigo Girls (and who would often invite Michelle to share the stage with them, leading some to call her "the third Indigo Girl"), Michelle soon found herself opening and headlining gigs throughout Atlanta and mid-Atlantic bars and clubs. After releasing her solo debut, New Experience, Michelle assembled the band Drag the River and started living the rock life. In the buzz generated by Georgia's many major label signings—B-52s, R.E.M., Indigo Girls, Black Crowes—it was inevitable that some big shot mogul would appear with contract in hand—quite literally. One evening, outside Atlanta's Little Five Points Pub, the limo of legendary J Records/American Idol impresario, then-Arista boss, Clive Davis screeched onto the sidewalk and the hitmaker himself signed the diminutive powerhouse on the spot.

Living a paraphrased line by one of her inspirations, Tina Turner, Michelle never did anything nice and easy. Michelle bit the major label lure and, despite promises broken, indulgences extended and excesses expected, Michelle continued creating solid songs, introspective, energetic and impressive forays into bluesy rock and tasty pop nuggets.

Michelle escaped the star making machinery and released several indie releases (the reflective pop of For You Not For Them, the sassy jazzy A Swingin' Christmas in the Attic, and hard rocking Redemption Dream with Band de Soleil). Major label level interest came again in the form of industry vet Walter Yetnikoff's highly-hyped, yet short-lived, VelVel records. Faring better than others signed to the label, Michelle's pop/rock-oriented Beneath the Devil Moon (featuring one of her most requested songs, My Green Thumb) was released and worked just before the label dissolved. Michelle returned to her independent roots with the rootsy rocker Homegrown.

But that's all last century. This century sees a newly invigorated, content Michelle Malone. Grown up but still growing, Michelle's absorbed the musical heritage of her home in the South. Nicknamed "Moanin' Malone" by blues guitarist Albert King, this talented troubadour channels the greats of Blues and Americana. Mix Bonnie Raitt's best vocals and slide licks with the best catchy pop appeal of Sheryl Crow and you'll get close to Michelle's sound.

Long a fighter for social justice, Michelle puts action into her words. Besides playing benefits and drawing attention to worthy causes, Michelle has traveled to Chiapas, Mexico, to witness the struggle of the Zapatistas; ran the Paris marathon for the Leukemia Society; biked eight weeks with Team Earth Challenge from Georgia to Nevada in protest of nuclear waste dumping at Yucca Mountain.

Michelle's earned critical claim in hundreds of national reviews and dozens of "Best Of" lists. Besides her recent appearance on the Grammy ballot, Michelle's many awards include four-time best album (Atlanta magazine), two-time best acoustic guitarist (Creative Loafing, IAC), and five-time female vocalist of the year (Creative Loafing). She's written, recorded and toured with Kristen Hall (Sugarland), Indigo Girls, John Mayer and Shawn Mullins, and performed with a range of top names—including Marsha Ball, Joan Baez, Jackson Browne, Shawn Colvin, Little Feat, Albert King, Chris Whitley, Johnny Winter and ZZ Top.

Michelle's live show is not to be missed—she can make the biggest venues seem as cozy as a camp fire, and an intimate venue feel like the center of the universe. And Friday evening, September 12, promises an evening full of memorable music, talented guitar and harp, exceptional vocals and entertaining stories culled from tour veteran Michelle Malone.

Refreshments (including beer from Triangle Brewing Company) will also be available. Parking is free and monitored. This is a Strings Attached Production; all profits benefit Urban Ministries of Durham. Advance tickets are on sale now for $15 ($8 for children 6-12; younger childcare available).
