A Reminder About My Show Premiere, And Book Talk On September 24th

Five days ago, I was excited about presenting my library talk, and new photo show opening on Saturday. With so much turmoil around us, it seems a bit silly to remind you all about tomorrow’s events, as important as they are to me. But that is life. We press on, even currents sometimes pull us elsewhere. And I am proud of this work, and the people that are featured in it. So here goes.

At 2pm on September 24th, I’ll be speaking at the Plaza-Midwood Library about the Rock & Roll scene in North Carolina during the 1960s. Lots of photos, new information and new stories. Then, at 6pm, I’ll be at C3 Lab to debut my new show of photos. This is a show of just my photos of the Charlotte music scene from 1996 to 2001. The musicians and friends that drew me in as a photographer, and still are a part of what I’m doing today. There are over 90 photos in this show, most of which has never been seen or exhibited before. I’ve also curated a special playlist of music from Charlotte-area bands from that time. I also asked my friends Derrick J. Hines and Albert Strawn of Bless These Sounds Under The City at 7pm, because they are my good friends, and their music is beautiful. Many of you that will read this in Charlotte are in this show, because you should be. When the show is finished in three weeks, the contents will be donated to the Main Library (sorry I haven’t told you sooner, Shelia Bumgarner, but now you know), so that others will know someday what the Charlotte music scene was like, and that it was made up by a lot of good people. And still is.

I hope to see you all Saturday, or sometime soon. The world is turning, but I hope that you don’t turn away. Safe travels, and see you on the road.

Update On Museum Of History Talk On August 25th

Contrary to what the Observer printed in CLT, my talk at the Charlotte Museum Of History is on August 25th, and not tomorrow. Set your coordinates to August 25th. Reception at 6pm, talk at 7pm, and explanations and apologies (depending on how the talk goes) at 8pm. I'll also be showing some photos from the 90s Charlotte music scene, more of which I'll tell you about at the museum. See you there, and see you on the road.

New Library Talks On The NC Music Scene During The 1960s

For those of you that have asked, "When is your next library talk?" Well, once again, I'm doing this announcement a little later than I had meant to, but I'm doing a talk on the North Carolina music scene during the 1960s at libraries throughout Cabarrus County this month, and July. This talk will cover all genres of music during the 1960s, not just Rock & Roll. I'll be at the Concord Library at 6pm on June 13th, and Mount Pleasant Library at 6pm on the 14th. Lots of photos, lots of music. Here's the links to the talks, via the respective libraries. See you there, and see you on the road.
