art showcase: Ned JohnsonApril & May in Event Room
A Teacher of art for 30 years, Ned now enjoys spending entire days creating art. He says “I would rather do art than talk about it.” He works in a variety of media including oil, watercolor, acrylic and woodburning. When pushed for an artists statement, his reply captures his philosophy… “I have refused again and again during the whole of my career as a painter and teacher to make any statement on art...I hold it to the privilege of anyone to paint in any direction he chooses”

Thursdays in the vines: Willie WatsonThurs, July 14 from 7-9 pm
For over two decades, Willie Watson has made modern folk music rooted in older traditions. He’s a folksinger in the classic sense: a singer, storyteller, and traveler, with a catalog of songs that bridge the gap between the past and present. From his early days as a founding member of the Old Crow Medicine Show to his current work as a solo artist, he is a celebrated musician with a rich vocal range, atop interpreter of the folk canon and a highly skilled multi-instrumentalist.
On the road as an active touring musician, Watson often plays alone with his soaring vocals accompanied by his guitar, banjo and harmonica, but most recently has been traveling with his new string band, featuring fellow Old Crow alum Ben Gould on upright bass, Sam Schmidt on guitar and mandolin, and Rosie Newton on fiddle. Playing in Old Crow Medicine Show, Watson learned how to be part of a string band, but as a solo artist, he’s perfected everything from gospel to blues to Appalachian folk to Irish traditional music. With his two solo albums, Folksinger Vol. 1, and Folksinger Vol. 2, both produced by David Rawlings at Acony Records in Nashville, Watson has never sounded more commanding, more confident or more connected to the music that inspires him. His albums carry on the spirit of a time nearly forgotten. They tap into the rich core of roots music and further the legacy of American folk. And perhaps most importantly, they show the full range of Willie Watson’s artistry, matching his instrumental and vocal chops with a strong appreciation for the songs that have shaped a genre. “I try to take songs I can relate to and that I can sing with urgency, that I can feel,” he says, humbly. “Im just happy if people dig it.” These days, Watson juggles his time as a touring musician with his other two passions, his own clothing company, the Willie Watson Manufacturing Co., and his newest side job — acting. He had a featured role in the Coen Brothers movie The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, where he sang the Oscar nominated song “When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings,” and is currently in the Old West drama Redeeming Love. |
