SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Roots Revival Series: Clarke Williams & Travis Stuart
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Ridge Roots Revival Series was born out of a need to create opportunities for musicians and music venues. Since Hurricane Helene’s destruction in September 2024\, many communities are still working to rebuild physically\, economically\, and emotionally. The region is widely known for its tourism economy\, and visitation is still down. \nThe Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA) is partnering with the Jazz Foundation of America to present this summer and fall concert series. The Blue Ridge Roots Revival series will feature 10 performances throughout Western North Carolina (WNC)\, bringing local and nationally acclaimed artists to local venues. \nSaturday\, June 28: Clarke Williams & Travis Stuart\, 2:00 PM \nThis FREE Blue Ridge Roots Revival Series concert is at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center – Milepost 384. \nClarke Williams: \nClarke Williams is a multi-instrumentalist based in Asheville\, NC. While comfortable in a variety of styles\, he has a strong focus on the musical traditions of Western NC. He has won awards and recognition for his fiddle\, banjo\, and guitar playing at festivals and fiddlers’ conventions across the Southeast. Clarke has performed nationally and internationally\, in bands such as Jenny and the Hog Drovers (with Phil Jamison)\, the Georgia Horseshoes\, and the French Broadcasters. Clarke graduated from Warren Wilson College\, where he studied traditional music. \nTravis Stuart: \nA Bethel native and Haywood County resident\, Travis Stuart is a banjo player who has been performing old-time music rooted in Western North Carolina for over twenty years. The backbone of bluegrass\, old-time string band music carries a legacy that is inescapable\, and from his earliest days growing up\, Stuart was steeped in that legacy. Brought up in a rich musical community and family\, Stuart learned to play banjo from local musicians like Avery County’s Red Wilson\, recipient of a 2003 North Carolina Heritage Award. Playing his great-uncle Austin Stamley’s banjo\, Stuart has mastered a local old time style and shared it around the United States and Europe\, touring and recording alongside his twin brother\, Trevor. In 2017\, he and Trevor released The Stuart Brothers\, a generous collection of 23 tunes both traditional and original. Trevor passed away a few years ago. Clarke Williams has carefully studied Trevor’s fiddle style and will be playing with Travis to recreate the twins’ sound. \nThere are Blue Ridge Roots Revival Concerts\, with more to be announced later this summer! \n \n

SUMMARY:Firefly Frolic
DESCRIPTION:Pinnacle Park has a vibrant night life scene: lightning bugs and foxfire worms! Join us for this evening hike on the lower Forest Therapy trail loop to view and learn about these beautiful bugs. We will discuss how to identify different species\, the firefly life cycle\, the magic behind their glow\, and how to attract similar insects to your property. In addition to multiple different species firefly species\, we may also hear owls hooting in the distance\, or a flying squirrel scurrying around in the trees. \nAll participants will be given a red-light device (flashlight or headlamp) to use for this hike\, but are also welcome to bring their own red-light device. Please do not bring standard white- or yellow- light devices; these not only disturb the lightning bugs\, but also affect our ability to properly view them. \nThis walk will be about a mile on a maintained\, moderate-grade trail that is medium difficulty. Roots and rocks are present in the trail\, as are other hazards like poison ivy. Participants are encouraged to wear pants and closed toed shoes. A rock that is obvious in the daytime is much more subtle in the evening! We will meet at the Pinnacle Park trailhead (end of Fischer Creek Rd in Sylva) at 8:30pm on Saturday\, June 28th. We will be out until around 10:30pm. This program is weather-dependent; it will still occur in light rain or drizzles\, but will be cancelled in the case of heavy rain or dangerous conditions. Email Skye with any questions. Please leave pets at home. \nTickets are $10\, and availability is limited to reduce disruption to the fireflies and improve our experience out in the woods together. Click here to head to our ticket purchase page and secure your spot (this link will take you to a different page)\, then strap on your boots and get ready for a light show!
