Event & Conference Details
Collin J. Rocker & Gary Reed @ Macculloch Hall Historical Museum
July 20, 2014 |
Join us in the beautiful historic gardens of Macculloch Hall Historical Museum on July 20th, when a great double bill of live music will be in store. Collin J. Rocker and Gary Reed, crowd favorites in 2013, take the stage on the third Sunday of the popular Summer Concerts in the Garden Series. Generous support for this year’s Summer Concert Series has been provided by Turpin Real Estate.
Musician and songwriter Collin J. Rocker will kick off the show at 4pm with “Country Blues for the Here and Now”. With gritty tradition, Collin turns timeless themes of heartbreak, the road, and the past into songs suiting today’s common man. His music is born from the hills of beautiful lingering farms and once thriving small towns, juxtaposed with strip malls, asphalt, and suburban sprawl. Collin has performed alongside national acts such as Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna), Rory Block, and The New Riders of The Purple Sage on a number of legendary stages and opened shows for Grande Ole' Opry Member Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives in Sellersville, PA.
Singer-songwriter & guitarist Gary Reed will continue the July 20th program with “21st Century Songs with Roots in the 1960’s & 70’s”. Mr. Reed has reemerged as an accomplished and contemporary voice — with lyrics that resonate from that earlier time. An outstanding guitar player and performer, he is a premier fingerstyle guitar player and guitar champion who writes and plays unique solo guitar arrangements ranging from Joplin to the Beatles, New Age to Yazoo and “Finger Popping” original tunes.
The last of the series takes place on July 27 when Mipso travels to Morristown to perform their combination of Americana, indie and folk music to close out the series. Formed in Chapel Hill in 2010, the three North Carolina songwriters of Mipso have wandered off the path blazed by Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson to find a new clearing for their southern string band sound. Mipso has become known for sly original lyrics as much as a distinctive sound. Now, after a whirlwind tour through Japan’s bustling bluegrass scene and a host of sold-out shows across North Carolina, Jacob, Joseph and Wood are making the happy adjustment from local favorites to global emissaries for their decidedly new string band sound.
