NEED TO KNOW

When Henry Horowitz founded Artisphere in 2003, he couldn’t have known the impact his actions would have on not only the arts community but Greenville as a whole.

At the time, Horowitz was chairman of the board of directors for the Metropolitan Arts Council.

“His involvement with the board of the Oklahoma City Arts Festival provided the perfect roadmap for Artisphere,” said Artisphere executive director Kerry Murphy. “He assembled a group of Greenville’s community leaders to visit Oklahoma City’s art show and, two short years later in 2005, the vision became a reality.”

Beginning with 282 applications and 100 artists accepted in the inaugural year, the nationally recognized fine arts festival grew to receive a record 1,163 applications for the 2018 festival with 135 accepted.

In 2018, festival attendance neared 90,000 and economic impact grossed $5,810,394.

The 15th anniversary celebration of Artisphere May 10-12 will again feature 135 visual artists chosen from a pool of 952.

“Henry’s passion and persistence have resulted in 15 years of phenomenal results that multiply exponentially,” said Ed Zeigler, the 2019 Artisphere president.

Artisphere board member Judith Aughtry said Horowitz’s goal from the inception was to have the

top fine arts festival in the country.

“Despite his numerous and frequent references to Oklahoma City’s arts festival (whose board he was on, and to which we usually roll our eyes and say ‘not again!’), I think even Henry would admit that Artisphere is cooler and better,” Aughtry said.

Artisphere will again take over South Main Street extending into the West End with visual artists, street performers, musical acts, and culinary offerings from some of Greenville’s top restaurants.

“Artisphere offers a visually and conversationally stimulating experience through an arts-infused weekend all over downtown, a platform for artists to engage in the community, be recognized, and make career strides in their practice, and not least, Artisphere draws tens of thousands of visitors to the city, bolstering the local economy in the best possible manner, setting up Greenville as a magnet for cultural activity,” Zeigler said.

Horowitz continues to serve on the Artisphere board as president emeritus and founder and in multiple other practical ways throughout the weekend.

“Whether he is out front helping to recruit sponsors or quietly checking on artists and vendors during the festival, Henry’s commitment to a successful festival each year has been unwavering,” said David Lominack, TD Bank’s South Carolina market president, who has worked with Artisphere B:10” on behalf of TD as the festival’s presenting sponsor.

Growing up, Kate Furman was exposed to the outdoors. She even spent five years as a whitewater rafting guide. Her passion for nature is evident in almost all of her jewelry.

Her designs are made from an array of materials, including found wood, sterling silver, bronze, and steel.

JOSEPH BRADLEY Booth 101

DARIN GEHRKE Booth 27

Joseph Bradley’s career as an artist had a bit of an unusual impetus – he was held up in a bank robbery. The experience forced an evaluation of what energized him. Bradley uses oil paint, washes, and metal leaf.

Potter Darin Gehrke wants his pieces to be both striking and functional.

Since Gehrke returned from living in China, his ceramics have combined Chinese and Japanese aesthetics.

Prior to moving to Greenville, he worked in a garment district studio in New York City.

Janina Ellis is the third generation in a family of artists. Her grandmother was an oil painter and her mother is one of the top U.S. scrimshanders, or maritime engravers. Ellis is a painter who now concentrates on figurative work. Ellis takes a seemingly mundane moment and illuminates it to reveal ts beauty and poignancy.

KEITH GRACE Booth 10 Mixed-media artist Keith Grace begins each painting with a sketch.

After drawing the sketch on canvas, Grace collages individual pieces of typography and other visuals such as maps and elements of pop culture onto the surface. Then, he blocks in color with layers of acrylics before adding details with oil.

MARIE GRUBER Booth 52

Black-and-white fine art photography has always been one of Marie Gruber’s favorite forms of artistic expression. Her images are from her local surroundings and from her travels in the United States, British Columbia, France, Spain, China, Costa Rica, and Italy.

SUNNY MULLARKEY McGOWAN Booth 120 Sunny Mullarkey McGowan’s primary media are painting and printmaking. She said she has always found a keen pleasure in creating prints; in moving from paper to linoleum, from carving to printing.

McGowan said she finds joy in the labor and unique results of hand-pulled prints.

MEREDITH PIPER Booth 47

GLORY LOFLIN Booth 104 Using multiple materials, Glory Day Loflin creates paintings, drawings, and sculptures that reflect on her upbringing in the American South. Loflin was educated as a dancer before the visual arts. Strong lines are an important part of her work.

Before moving to Greenville, Meredith Piper managed and taught painting classes at an art studio in Shreveport, Louisiana.

She also taught art in the public school system.

Her work is composed of mixedmedia paintings on wooden panels, as well as woven textile pieces encased in wood.

JERRY MAXEY Booth 50 Jerry Maxey has always worked with wood, starting with building things and refinishing furniture at his father’s upholstery shop.

When he found himself without access to a workshop, he started making baskets at the urging of a friend. Now he combines both in his art.

In small-town North Carolina, young Richard Wilson watched his father draw him and his two younger brothers sitting at the dinner table.

“I was always amazed at what he could do with a pen and paper. His drawings were so lifelike,” Wilson says.

“It seems like I was always supposed to be an artist of some sort, just like my father was.”

Wilson began art school at 11 and kicked off his profession as a portrait artist at 14. “Art was something that was always in my blood,” he says.

Inspired by family and friends, Wilson has been drawing his three daughters ever since they were born.

“I have always admired the innocence, honesty, and curiosity of children,” he says.

In addition to children, sports appear frequently in Wilson’s artwork. “Many of my sports scenes are reflections of my childhood and people I admired.”

Portraying people from boxing legend Jack Johnson to basketball star Michael Jordan, Wilson wants to inspire viewers

English oil painter Richard Hall mixes fine art realism with abstract art to create stories.

Often referred to as contemporary realism, Hall’s art style blends opposing elements into pleasing juxtapositions.

“My subjects are classic toys and objects,” Hall says. “I refer to myself as a ‘visual storyteller.’”

Whether it be toy trucks, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, sticky notes, doughnuts, or sunglasses, Hall’s subject matter elicits smiles as a result of his witty humor and plays on words.

Hall offers a reminiscent experience.

“When people look at my paintings, I hope they are connected to memories and moments that are special to them,” he says.

Just as important as the paintings themselves are the paintings’ titles.

“Fell off the Turnip Truck” by Richard Hall.

Sometimes, Hall begins a work with a title in mind. Then, he travels around in search of the perfect antique props to bring his vision to life on canvas.

Other times, Hall spots an object —usually old but sometimes new — that he wants to star in his next painting.

“Every step of the process is exciting,” he says, “from the anticipation of the blank canvas to the final signing of the painting.”

n story by MELODY CUENCA

Setting the scene to the narrative in his head, Hall spends many hours arranging the props and adjusting the lighting to create his balanced, realistic artwork.

Art has always been Hall’s creative outlet.

“I started out drawing as a kid at the kitchen table and seemed to have a knack for it,” he says. “So when you’re a kid and good at something, you gravitate towards it.”

Living in Arizona since the ‘70s, Hall says Greenville’s Artisphere is the only show he does in the East. “It’s a long way to come, so that should tell you how much I like it,” he says.

You can find Hall and his realistic paintings at Artisphere on May 10-12 in Booth 8.

to hope and to dream without limits.

“I don’t know if a child-aged Jackie Robinson, Bessie Coleman, Muhammad Ali, or any of the other historical figures that I’ve painted knew who they would grow to be as adults,” Wilson says. “The beauty in life is that possibility.”

Wilson’s artwork has received many awards and appeared in movies “Barbershop: The Next Cut” and “The Trap.”

Some of Wilson’s notable collectors include Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron; Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles; Gladys Knight; Tom Joyner; and Judge James Wynn.

You can find Wilson and his figurative artwork at Greenville’s Artisphere on May 10-12 at Booth 48.

“I look forward to this show every year,” he says. “I’ve met some of my most loyal collectors here in Greenville, S.C., at Artisphere, who support me year after year.”

ALICE FINKELSTEIN ALLEN n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photos by WILL CROOKS

Alice Finkelstein Allen grew up gazing at old trinkets — her uncle would show up each Christmas with different pieces of art deco-styled jewelry, salvaged from someone’s yard sale or antiques shop and passed around for decades before landing in her family’s possession.

Allen’s admiration for relics from the past is a trait practically in her blood — her family has a history of dealing in antiques, fur coats, and fine china. Allen’s predecessors started two businesses based in Orangeburg — J.W. Smoak Hardware Co. and Fink’s — dating back to the late 19th century.

“When I was younger, it was mostly a men’s luxury clothing store where you could get tailored men’s suits, and then we had a small boutique of women’s luxury items. And I grew up with my grandfather and my dad taking me down there and doing that,” Allen said. “I had it in my bones, in my blood.”

But Allen is now blazing her own trail of art deco-inspired jewelry in Greenville with Fink’s & Co., which she started in 2017. Allen was named one of two emerging artists with Artisphere this year.

“I’m a super nostalgic person — it’s kind of my homage to my family, because my family’s been super supportive,” Allen said.

Allen’s art takes inspiration from her family’s history of antiquing, but she also draws on her experiences as an interior designer and her work at architecture firms 8

M AY 3 / / G R E E N V I L L E J O U R N A L . C O M

in New York. She has a bachelor’s degree in sculpture from Clemson University, a bachelor’s degree in interior design from Converse College, and several fine arts programs under her belt, including a graduate jeweler diploma from the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco.

Her jewelry — often a combination of semiprecious metals, leather, and wood — uses geometric structures and linear patterns similar to the quintessential art deco styles of the Gatsby era. Others show clear connections to her sculpting past — a pair of earrings deemed “Prism Chandelier” are long, three-dimensional bars, small sculptures dangling just above the wearer’s shoulders.

Allen currently has three collections, but she plans to narrow her focus. Her goal is to create a signature style she can show off one day on a runway, but right now she’s still feeling out her market and style.

“That’s kind of the cool thing about when you get started — if you just kind of trust yourself and try not to make it too perfect, and just go with the flow,” Allen said. “Not everybody’s going to like it, it’s not for everybody, but you definitely get more feedback.

It can be a lot more fun in the beginning.”

Allen’s work can be found at www.finksandco.com.

She’ll be at Booth 28 at Artisphere in downtown Greenville on May 10-12.

TAYLOR ADAMS n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photos by WILL CROOKS

Taylor Adams draws her inspiration from nature — the sky, the mountains, the horizon. Her art — displayed on various sizes of wood panels — combines acrylic paint, charcoal, and graphite to form both brooding and serene scenes.

The paintings often resemble marbled stone, with neutral colors billowing throughout them like clouds on the horizon. Each one is wrapped in thread, bringing an added layer of hard lines to the soft pieces.

“I always start with a very neutral textured base, and my colors are very earth-toned because they’re landscape-inspired,” Adams said. “I kind of try to pull out the darkest points — the thread is always dependent on the painting beneath it.”

Adams’ decision to add thread to her work comes from her mother’s influence. When Adams was young, her seamstress mom often made her own clothes.

“Her mom — my grandma — sewed, and she grew up with her mom making her own clothes, and then she learned to make her own clothes,” Adams said. “As I was growing up, she would always make my dresses for dances and costumes.”

Although Adams learned only basic sewing techniques, she’s always

| NEWS

had spools of thread at her disposal.

It wasn’t until she took a 3D painting course at the University of Florida, where she got her bachelor’s in fine arts, that she experimented with thread in her work.

“We had a project to make a painting without using any paint, so since my mom is a seamstress, I had all this thread to use as a resource.

So, I did a line painting constructed entirely of thread,” Adams said.

“That’s where it started, and then I just kept pushing it from there.”

Adams grew up in Greenville until her family moved to Florida when she was in fifth grade. In 2017, she moved back, but in between, she’s traveled to South Asia and temporarily lived in Charleston. She keeps photos around her studio of various places that inspire her artwork.

“I try to spend a lot of time outside,” Adams said. “There comes certain points where I need to take a day off and be outside.”

Adams is one of two emerging artists this year at Artisphere. Her work can be found at the festival at Booth 106 from May 10-12.

“It’s awesome to see the artist community here — it’s so exciting,” Adams said. “I’ve never been around where artists are so welcoming and supportive of each other.”

NEED FOR BLOOD CONTINUES EVEN DURING LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER Abbeville

Newberry

Greenwood

McCormick

If you’ve ever considered helping The Blood Connection meet the daily needs of the Upstate’s blood supply, now is the time to act.

Whether you’d like to donate blood yourself or you have an opportunity to host one of TBC’s blood mobiles, the summer is the perfect opportunity for people to assist with The Blood Connection’s critical mission.

“The summer months – it’s hot, people are on vacation, they’re relaxing; they’re not really thinking about the importance of coming out and giving blood. Priorities change a little bit in the summer,” said Terra Strange, a 13-year TBC veteran who is currently the organization’s promotions and community engagement coordinator.

As if drumming up donors wasn’t challenging enough during the summer, Strange explained that one of TBC’s primary partners for larger blood drives is not available during the summer months.

“Schools are out in the summertime, and schools, when they’re in session, are a huge part of our blood drives,” she said. “So we don’t have the opportunity to have those larger blood drives that the schools help us with.”

Likewise, Strange said that churches aren’t as likely to hold blood drives during the warm months because their attendance numbers drop as members take summer vacations.

“We struggle (in the summer) to have businesses and organizations able to sponsor successful blood drives,” Strange said. “Even the plants we go to, a lot of times in the summertime they don’t host as many blood drives as they do during the cooler months, so that adds to the impact for us.”

The demand for blood, however, does not wane.

In total, The Blood Connection on a daily basis serves more than 55 hospitals throughout the Carolinas, 25 of which are in the Upstate. To meet those hospitals’ needs, Strange said more than 500 units of blood must be collected daily. That demand could increase in the summer as trauma cases escalate for many reasons, including the increased summer travel.

To drive donations during the summer months, Strange said The Blood Connection works to develop additional partnerships.

“With the summer months come festivals and special events,” she said. “Organizations put together special 12

events that we would love to join and participate with.

Even though it’s hot in the summertime, our mobile units do create a safe environment for people to donate blood, and also to be able to go back and enjoy the event.”

One special summertime partnership is with Greenville’s minor league baseball team, the Drive.

“We have sponsorships with the Greenville Drive where we have blood drives throughout the season and donors can come out and get special blood drive-Greenville Drive and TBC logoed hats and shirts, and tickets,” Strange said.

The folks at The Blood Connection are also creating events to help draw donors to their five Upstate collection centers, each of which is open daily.

“We really ramp up our marketing campaign and try to create some fun events ourselves,” Strange said. “We have a Taco Tuesday campaign that kicks off in June – we give away a really fun T-shirt and gift cards for tacos.”

‘EXPRESSWAY TO TIGERTOWN’ Greenville County Schools announces teacher prep partnership with Clemson, Greenville Tech

n story & photo by ARIEL GILREATH

Students in Greenville County Schools will now have the opportunity to receive a bachelor’s degree in education from Clemson University in just three years after they graduate.

The partnership, called “Expressway to Tiger Town,” starts with students taking dual enrollment classes in 10th grade, attending Greenville Technical College for one year after graduating high school, and attending Clemson for the remaining two years to receive one of the school’s seven bachelor degrees focused in education.

Once students complete their undergraduate degree program at Clemson, they have the option of staying an additional year to complete a master’s degree program. All students in the program will be able to complete their student teaching residency in Greenville County Schools and will be guaranteed an interview. The program will be capped at 20 students next year, but Associate Superintendent for Academics Jeff McCoy said it could be expanded in subsequent years.

Greenville County Schools Superintendent Burke Royster said the partnership is intended to make a dent in the teacher shortage that plagues South Carolina and the nation, as well as make college more affordable for education students.

“We do not have enough teachers nationally. We do not have enough teachers in the state. We don’t have enough teachers every year to fill very easily the number of vacancies we have in Greenville County Schools,” Royster said. “This is a way to help prepare not only our students for college and a career, but specifically for a career in teaching.”

Keith Miller, president of Greenville Tech, said the teacher shortage not only affects

K-12 schools, but also higher education institutions.

“This can serve as a model throughout the state for other universities and technical colleges,” Miller said. “We’re lucky that we live in a collaborative environment.”

Dejona Coleman, a senior student at Mauldin High School, said her dual enrollment Education 111 course at the school helped shape her career decisions. Prior to that class, she had always wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Now, Coleman wants to teach math to middle school students.

Education 111 acts as a teacher residency class for high school students in Greenville County Schools — students get experience in various classrooms as an assistant and also receive college credit for the course.

“I’m at Langston Charter Middle School right now, and it’s pulling my heartstrings,” Coleman said.

Like Coleman, many of the high school students in the Teacher Cadet program end up with an area of focus — senior Trey Cornish will attend Coastal Carolina University in the fall to become a kindergarten teacher, Coleman will attend the University of South Carolina Upstate to become a middle school math teacher, and senior Anyel Pinto will attend Lander University to become an art teacher.

“It’s really meant for those kids who know they want to go in education, really solidify that, and, because of their experiences, hopefully help them narrow down what they want to be,” McCoy said.

Students are required to maintain at least a 2.75 GPA while at Greenville Technical College in order to transfer to Clemson.

HONORING HER SISTER

Clemson senior helped raise more than $600K in honor of sister who died of cancer n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photos PROVIDED

Morgan Witherspoon was 9 years old when her 12-year-old sister, Jenna, died from brain cancer. At the time, she didn’t fully understand it.

“It’s not easy as a 9-year-old to lose your sibling,” Witherspoon said. “At that age, I don’t think I fully grasped what cancer was.”

But the short time she had with her sister shaped her childhood.

“I spent two-and-a-half years with my sister basically in the hospital,” Witherspoon

JENNA

MORGAN

said. “I still have memories from those years. Her life had been extended longer than they thought it would be when she was first diagnosed [at 9 years old].”

Witherspoon’s family and friends started a fundraiser after Jenna died called “Jenna’s Legacy of Smiles,” whose proceeds went to Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Jenna primarily stayed. A room in the hospital has Jenna’s name on it because of those efforts.

“She was very joyful, bubbly. She always had a smile on her face, no matter what was going on,” Witherspoon said. “She went through all of the surgeries, all of the pricking and needles, but still was smiling and making sure everyone around her was laughing.”

Now, Witherspoon, a Fort Mill native, is graduating from Clemson University in one week after working with Clemson Miracle to help raise more than $600,000 for the

Prisma Health–Upstate Children’s Hospital in the last four years.

Clemson Miracle, a nonprofit student organization on campus, is in its 10th year of raising money for the children’s hospital.

The organization has raised nearly $750,000 in those 10 years, but it’s really made strides in the last few years, hitting six figures each year since 2017.

“My freshman year, we hit $70,000, and then in the past two years, we hit $230,000 each year,” Witherspoon said.

Witherspoon got involved her freshman

year before becoming the organization’s executive director her junior and senior years.

She’s personally raised about $12,000, which went to the children’s hospital.

Witherspoon will graduate on May 9 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering. She’s already secured a job as an engineer with Boeing in Charleston. When Witherspoon leaves Clemson, she’ll hand the student organization off to a new executive director.

“It’s been one of the best experiences I’ve had at Clemson,” Witherspoon said.

TEACHER SHORTAGE Expressway to Tiger Town could help combat state teacher shortage

COMMUNITY

HOLE IN ONE SHOOTOUT

Laurens Electric offered golfers shot at $1 million

n photos by DOVE LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

by DR. KEITH MILLER Keith Miller is president of Greenville Technical College. Photo provided.

Three years after high school, one education major has a year of college left to go.

Another completed her bachelor’s degree and is now leading the classroom instead of occupying a seat in it. The difference is a new initiative launched by Greenville County Schools, Greenville Technical College, and Clemson University that allows education majors to begin their college degree while they are still in high school, save money, and finish fast.

Expressway to Tiger Town is an accelerated, seamless path from high school to a Clemson education degree. The student starts in grades ten through twelve, earning a year’s worth of credits toward a bachelor’s degree through dual enrollment classes at Greenville Technical College that provide a head start on college while also counting toward high school requirements. A second year of college is completed on a Greenville Tech campus. Both of these steps are affordable thanks to Greenville Tech’s very reasonable tuition.

With half of that bachelor’s degree completed, the student meets Clemson University admissions requirements, moves on to Tiger Town, and earns an education degree just three years out of high school.

A fourth, optional year can be devoted to earning a master’s degree, which means

higher starting pay. With a degree or two in hand, the new graduate has a guarantee at the end of the path – an interview with Greenville County Schools that may result in a job offer.

With the savings realized on college tuition, this Expressway to Tiger Town pathway can reduce or even eliminate the student debt that weighs on so many college graduates.

We know that there’s a teacher shortage in our state and in our country. Some educators leave the profession after just a few years, and student debt can be a contributing factor to that choice as it eats into a new teacher’s starting paycheck. But the shortage actually begins much earlier than that. Many high school students don’t even consider a teaching career, causing the number of education majors to decline.

The number of teachers, already inadequate, becomes even more so as teachers leave the field.

At Greenville Technical College, we are pleased to join with Greenville County Schools and Clemson University in an initiative that gives future teachers an affordable and accelerated path to success. We hope to see more young people enter the career and more teachers stay in the profession as a result.

Greenville golfer Bryan Fowler was just 14 feet shy of sinking a $1 million shot at Laurens Electric Cooperative’s Million Dollar Hole in One Shootout.

The fundraising event, which happened April 26-27 at the Haas Family Golf Center, raised money for the Cooperative’s

three primary charities: The Cooperative Caring Emergency Relief Program, the Pay It Forward program and the new Community Impact Initiative.

Fowler won $1,000 for his closest-tothe-hole shot. Steven Eckstein placed second and DJ Bowman was third.

FIRST TEE

First Tee sees rapid rise in girls’ participation

n story by BOB CASTELLO | photos PROVIDED

AnnaLeis Dibert admits it’s cliche, but having come full circle with The First Tee, she has landed in a “dream come true.”

“My first golf class was an all-girls golf class, and that’s what really made me come back,” said Dibert, outreach coordinator for The First Tee of the Upstate.

“I was surrounded by girls, and we were all learning it together.”

It was the first day of an eight-week program at Carolina Golf Club at Botany Woods in Greenville and another sign of the increase in girls’ participation in the sport.

“It’s the fastest-growing demographic in the game of golf,” said Michael Pius, executive director of The First Tee of the Upstate.

When Pius took over in 2017, the organization’s girls’ participation was at 28 percent, far shy of the national average of 40 percent. Within one year, the number grew to 38 percent.

As a whole during the same time period, the organization grew by 46 percent (from 425 to 635) — well above the national average of about 11 percent.

Pius said that when he was looking to improve the retention rate with girls in Washington, he came across an LPGA USA program, hired the right person, and saw the numbers grow.

“When I moved down here and I saw where the numbers were, I knew we needed to do this girls golf program down here, too,” Pius said. “We were able to hire AnnaLeis, and it just snowballed.”

Dibert began working with The First Tee when she was 13, earned a scholarship to North Greenville University, and wrapped up her career as a four-team all-conference player in 2015.

Now Dibert — with the help of volunteers from the LPGA Amateur Golf Association — is delivering the same message she once received to various groups, but the all-girls program is particularly significant.

“I’m teaching golf, but I’m teaching confidence, I’m teaching sportsmanship, I’m teaching self-awareness and self-esteem,” Dibert said.

When The First Tee was founded in 1997, its focus was to “bring an affordable junior golf program to communities that did not have them.” It’s evolved into an organization that teaches life lessons with golf as a platform.

“It’s about the life skills, the interpersonal skills, the goal-setting, the resiliency skills — all those that are inherent in the game,” Pius said. “You don’t realize it, and the kids don’t realize that we’re teaching it to them. It’s all seamless.”

her HISTORY HOW SHE SAW IT

Brand-new musical ‘Herstory’ celebrates women past and present story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by WILL CROOKS

Women supporting other women — that’s precisely what the original musical “Herstory: How She Saw It” brings to Greenville’s theater scene.

Written and directed by local talent Jessica Eckenrod as part of Glow Lyric Theatre’s 2019 Raising Voices Series, “Herstory” pays homage to women’s journeys throughout history and celebrates womanhood.

“We’re trying to portray several classes of women that were inspired by many historical figures,” Eckenrod says. “So we’re trying to be broad, but in being broad we want to include as many historical women figures who’ve helped us along as much as possible.”

The one-act musical shows three characters simply named Girl, Woman One, and Woman Two, who each represent different genres of women.

‘Herstory: How She Saw It’ 7:30 P.M. MAY 6-7

“[Girl] is the embodiment of every woman who’s maybe a little bit uncertain in whatever period she’s in in her life,” Eckenrod says. In addition to writing, directing, and playing piano for the musical, Eckenrod also portrays Girl.

Woman One and Woman Two represent every other woman. “You have your brassy bold women, you have women who are known to have been objectified, and women who are known to be motherly and are centered around nurturing,” she says.

“Herstory” shows how each genre has inspired all women today. Various lines in the musical show support coming from one woman to another, which Eckenrod feels is very relevant for audiences today.

“It’s just kind of a direct display of — as women we are here for women,” she says. “That’s how it should be; that’s how it was. If it’s not that way now, let’s get back to that.”

Producer Jenna Tamisiea Elser has worked closely with Eckenrod to portray universal experiences that women have faced in the past and still face today.

“I think it’s really about one woman’s journey to try to understand what her story is — hence the title,” Elser says. “I think that it’s easy to get mixed messages as a woman, just in general, of who you should be, and what you should be pursuing, and what should be important to you in life as a woman.”

Elser describes “Herstory” as not

only touching but also humorous while dealing with the heavy topics of equality and empowerment.

“Feeling that ancestry, letting the stories of all women be our story, and letting that carry us through in life I think is one of the really important

The final track on Mac McCloud’s new album is where you need to start.

It’s called “Feel Like Going Home,” and it comes at the end of a masterful collection called My Heart Is Sinking, McCloud’s first release since 2002. The other five songs on the album are excellent, but that final song is where the blues comes alive, the kind of blues that soaks its way into your skin and opens the door to a sort of rapturous despair.

In McCloud’s hands, “Feel Like Going Home,” originally written by Muddy Waters but popularized by country singer Charlie Rich, is a subtle but lethal weapon, building on a simple, beautiful acoustic guitar melody and McCloud’s gravelly, wounded rasp.

“Lord I tried to, to see it through,” McCloud sings, radiating an exquisite weariness, “But it was too much for me/So now I`m coming home to you.”

With a few simple chords and plainspoken lines, McCloud makes the listener hurt and hope; that’s what the blues is supposed to do, right?

That track puts an exclamation point on a collection that mixes other bare bones acoustic tracks with tough, swaggering electric blues. The two styles alternate on My Heart Is Sinking, duking it out for musical supremacy; it’s a draw, but we all win.

That McCloud has created such an assured, deeply felt collection of blues tunes shouldn’t be a surprise; it’s the music he’s loved all of his life, and

he’s been playing it on the Upstate scene for decades.

“I was just drawn to it,” McCloud says. “There was a depth to it. The blues has always been my first love; I’ve played a lot of different kinds of music, but it’s always what I come back to.”

What IS surprising is that it’s taken him seventeen years to make My Heart Is Sinking, which is only his second stu-

dio album. McCloud was content with playing around town instead of recording, most recently with a soul-jazz organ trio, but as he alluded to earlier, the blues was calling to him. Except this time it was calling on Skype.

“I’d been taking guitar lessons on Skype for a year or so from this guy out in L.A.,” he says, “learning a bunch of old jump blues and songs by these

guys from the ‘40s like Bill Jennings. I’d watched some clips of it on YouTube and thought it was so cool, so I decided to get into it. And I was learning a lot of stuff that I wasn’t necessarily using in the context of the band. So I thought it would be great to go into the studio and process it all out.”

McCloud says he was attracted to jump-blues because it mixed elements of jazz music and straight-ahead blues.

“The grooves are so cool,” he says.

“They’re really based in jazz. You know, jazz and blues are really from the same tree, but this is more like swing music.

The guitar parts are like horn lines, and I just loved it.”

McCloud’s stripped-down approach on the acoustic tracks is potent, but the group he assembled for the fullband tracks is downright devastating.

Former Marshall Tucker Band bassist Frank Wilkie and Edwin McCain’s drummer Tez Sherard hold down the rhythm section, Upstate blues veteran Kym McKinnon handles lead guitar, and the great Rickey Godfrey tickles the ivories every once in a while. McCloud and his colleagues laid down the tracks at Sit N’ Spin studio in downtown Greenville.

“They all really did me right,” McCloud says. “They’re such great players that you just tell them what you want to do and then cut’em loose. They’re so familiar with the idiom, they KNOW what to do.”

The New York instrumental band TAUK released an album last year called Shapeshifter II: Outbreak. It was, as the title suggests, a continuation of a previous release, the Shapeshifter I: Construct EP. The Shapeshifter releases are, for lack of a better term, concept albums, concerning artificial intelligence and its potential to upend our world.

CLOUD OF JOY

Ricky Skaggs may need your help

n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo PROVIDED

Ricky Skaggs needs your help.

Which is kind of a weird thing to say, right? This is a man who’s been a virtuoso on mandolin, fiddle and guitar virtually since he could walk. A man who has conquered the worlds of country and bluegrass music by playing both with passion and incredible skill.

But there’s more.

He’s sold millions of albums, a good portion of them on his own label, Skaggs Family Records. He leads one of the fiercest acoustic bands on the planet, Kentucky Thunder.

He’s won 15 Grammy awards, 8 CMA Awards, and 14 International Bluegrass Music Association (or IBMA) Awards.

But there’s still one thing that Ricky Skaggs doesn’t have, and he’s wondering if someone out there can help him.

“I’d love to find a picture of me onstage will (bluegrass legend) Bill Monroe when I was six years old,” the 64-yearold Skaggs says. “That would be the greatest gift ever. Surely someone somewhere has that picture. I remember flashbulbs; I remember people taking pictures.”

So if you happen to have that picture of the father of bluegrass onstage with one of its greatest-ever practitioners, maybe head over to the Skaggs Family Records website and shoot Ricky an email.

Other than that one item missing from the trophy case, things are going pretty well for Skaggs, who will lead Kentucky Thunder to the District 3 Auditorium in Spartanburg on Friday. In fact, Skaggs is still basking in the glow of his Country Music Hall of Fame induction last year, so much so that the normally chatty bluegrass picker struggles to put it into words.

“I still can’t believe it,” he says. “It’s pretty amazing. This. . . it’s not like a Grammy or Vocalist Of The Year. This is forever, and it’s just something I never thought that I would…”

Skaggs trails off, seemingly still trying to process it.

“It’s hard to think about; it’s still fresh, it’s still new, and it’s still amazing,” he says.

He might still be unsure of how to describe that particular honor, but Skaggs is NEVER unsure onstage. He’s as skilled a player as ever, and the six-piece band behind him is just as stunning as their leader.

“This band is so versatile musically, and sometimes we just get so fiery and so excited when we’re playing these songs that we’ll just do the whole song over again without stopping,” he says. “The joy we feel is just overwhelming.

It’s like a cloud; a joy cloud. Pure 100% joy in what we’re doing. And that really connects with the audience.”

The name for euphoria’s annual springtime ticket release party, “Roast & Toast,” held April 28 was just as accurate a description of the weather as it was the steamed oysters and melt-in-your-mouth brisket guests enjoyed.

“Hot” could also describe the tickets for the Sept. 19-22 festival, as some events are already selling out after the line-up and tickets were released when Sunday’s party kicked-off.

The Roast & Toast event this year held at Larkin’s “L” showcased providers and chefs who will participate in the fall festival, such as pit master Anthony DiBernado of Charleston’s Swig & Swine, White Stone Oyster Co. and locals Restaurant 17, Greenbrier Farms, Soby’s, Larkin’s, Greenville County Schools Food and Nutrition Services, and Slush Buddies.

The fall schedule includes several new events and revamps of fan favorites to keep things fresh, says Morgan Allen, executive director of euphoria.

“We’re really focused on the educational component this year,” Allen says. “We’ll have two Lunch and Learn opportunities on Friday, an educational happy hour before our takeover dinner at Husk, and six different classroom experiences on Saturday.”

The culinary talent joining FEAST the four-day festival includes at least four Michelin-starred chefs.

The first of three Michelin dinners, By the Starlight: A Michelin-starred Dinner at Fork and Plough, will showcase a menu from Fork & n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos by BONFIRE VISUALS Plough’s chef Shawn Kelly and Michelin-starred chef Teague Moriarty on Thursday. Moriarty holds one Michelin star at his San Francisco restaurant Sons & Daughters.
