SUMMARY:Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives
DESCRIPTION:Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives – Country Music Hall of Famer\, five-time Grammy-winner\, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree Marty Stuart picks up where he left off on Altitude\, his first new album in five years\, exploring a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters\, misfits and angels\, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers. There’s a desert flare to the music here\, a sweeping\, spacious feel that conjures up wide-open horizons and endless stretches of two-lane highway\, and the production is raw and cinematic to match\, tipping its cap both to Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon as it balances jangle and twang in equal measure. While it would be easy for an artist as accomplished as Stuart to rest on his laurels\, Altitude instead showcases the work of a searcher with an insatiable appetite for growth and reflection\, one whose ambition\, much like his keen wit and rich imagination\, only seems to grow with each and every release. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame at BRAHM
DESCRIPTION:Music is an important thread in the fabric of our culture.  It is a universal language that speaks to the soul and inspires us to collaborate and contribute to the melody.  To highlight the importance of musical traditions in our region\, the Wilkes Heritage Museum created the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame.  Centrally located in the museum\, the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame exists to showcase and preserve the rich musical heritage of the greater Blue Ridge Mountains from northern Georgia to northern Virginia. The Hall of Fame educates\, defines\, and interprets the history of music and musicians in all genres from the region with exhibits and an annual celebration of inductees.  Wilkes Heritage Museum Director\, Jennifer Furr\, will discuss the creation of the Blue Ridge Music Hall of Fame and how it links our region together. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:The Del McCoury Band at The App Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Even among the pantheon of music’s finest artists\, Del McCoury stands alone. From the nascent sound of bluegrass that charmed hardscrabble hillbilly honkytonks\, rural schoolhouse stages\, and the crowning glory of the Grand Ole Opry to the present-day culture-buzz of viral videos and digital streams\, Del is the living link. On primetime and late-night television talk shows\, there is Del. From headlining sold-out concerts to music festivals of all genres\, including one carrying his namesake\, there is Del. Where audiences number in the tens of thousands\, and admirers as diverse as country-rock icon Steve Earle and jamband royalty Phish count as two among hundreds\, there is Del. \nWebsite
