Born and raised in Veracruz, Mexico, the Villalobos Brothers use their violins and voices to blend Mexican folk music with elements of classical, jazz, and rock. Their performances are notable for their own unique style of playing called “Fast-Chatting Violin,” as well as their powerful message of love, brotherhood, and social justice. In addition to their virtuosic playing, the brothers — Ernest , Alberto, and Luis – also compose their own original music featuring closely mingled harmonies and intricate patterns. Through multidisciplinary acts that include masks, poems, and theatrical sketches interwoven with powerful lyrics and high-energy compositions, the Villalobos Brothers use their unique style to redefine contemporary Mexican music.

Peace Interludes are FREE music appreciation gatherings that unpack the rich traditions and diverse styles of great composers. Each month will feature a unique composer and drink pairing, providing a multi-sensory sip, listen, and learn experience that highlights a musical period.

Much like the divisions of the World Wars during the 20^th century, the musical style also became divided—no single style dominated, providing an opportunity for a wide range of music composed during this time. Radio broadcasting, sound recording, and electric instruments, along with countries either beaten down by or feeling victorious from war, created a diverse environment for music to develop and transform. Join us for a “War and Peace” Interlude!

Robertson tours nationally and appears regularly at the Grand ‘Ole Opry.

It’s been nearly a decade since Dawes first emerged from Southern California, carrying with them a roots-rock sound that nodded to the past – including the West Coast folksingers and cosmic country-rockers who chased a similar muse during the 1970s – while still pushing forward.

Over the years that followed their debut, the band evolved and electrified. The grooves deepened. The amplifiers grew louder. Once known for their honest approach to classic sounds, Dawes grew into something different: a forward-thinking, boundary-pushing band for the 21st century, willing to follow inspiration wherever it leads. On the group’s sixth album, Passwords, that inspiration pulls guitarist/singer Taylor Goldsmith, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, bassist Wylie Gelber, and keyboardist Lee Pardini into their most universal, topical territory to date.

Peace Interludes are FREE music appreciation gatherings that unpack the rich traditions and diverse styles of great composers. Each month will feature a unique composer and drink pairing, providing a multi-sensory sip, listen, and learn experience that highlights a musical period.

Tony Award^®-winning Broadway legend Betty Buckley stars in Hello, Dolly! – the universally acclaimed smash that NPR calls “the best show of the year!” Winner of four Tony Awards^® including Best Musical Revival, director Jerry Zaks’ “gorgeous” new production (Vogue) is “making people crazy happy!” (The Washington Post). Breaking box office records week after week and receiving thunderous raves on Broadway, this Hello, Dolly! pays tribute to the original work of legendary director/choreographer Gower Champion – hailed both then and now as one of the greatest stagings in musical theater history. Rolling Stone calls it “a must-see event. A musical comedy dream. If you’re lucky enough to score a ticket, you’ll be seeing something historic. Wow, wow, wow, indeed!”

Master Classes give students and developing writers the chance to learn from professional poets prior to a Poetic Conversation. Each master class is a unique and intimate experience shaped by each artist, their writing process, and their work.

How do we speak of place? Are lineage and place geographical, cultural, emotional, and spiritual? Alicia Jo Rabins and Kevin Coval are privy to the traditions, rituals, and struggles of being Jewish Americans. Rabins is a writer, musician, composer, performer, and Torah teacher. Her work explores the intersection of ancient wisdom texts with everyday life. Coval is a poet and community builder. As the artistic director of Young Chicago Authors, founder of Louder Than A Bomb, and professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago—where he teaches hip-hop aesthetics—he’s mentored thousands of young writers, artists, and musicians. These poets stem from very different literary traditions, but both have so much to contribute about lineage and place and how they write about it.

The Day the World Came to Town is the inspiring true story of the small town of Gander, Canada and the goodwill of its residents.

Gander residents greeted stranded passengers with overwhelming kindness, providing for their needs and creating friendships that will last a lifetime.

Peace Voices Adult Writing Workshops offer a place to create for everyone from experienced writers to beginners. Workshops are led by Glenis Redmond, who guides participants as they tell their own stories through the craft of poetry.

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Peace Center welcomes Jacqueline Woodson, 2018-19 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. Woodson’s New York Times bestselling memoir, Brown Girl Dreaming,won the 2014 National Book Award, the Coretta Scott King Award, a Newbery Honor, and the NAACP Image Award. Brown Girl Dreaming reflects on Woodson’s time spent in Greenville’s African-American area of Nicholtown as a child and revisits the clash of the civil rights era from a young person’s perspective. This homecoming will focus on the power of poetry and dreams.

Avi Avital was the first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy® Award. Omer Avital has been named “one of the most exciting musicians to come onto the jazz scene in the last 20 years” (DownBeat). Together, their music uncovers their shared past in a creative blend of Moroccan beats, Israeli harmonies, classical sensibility, and jazz improvisation. It’s also a meeting of two musical backgrounds: the classically-trained Avi “meets” the jazz-trained Omer; tradition meets modernism; East meets West. The result is a “foot-stomping, hip-swaying jazz and Middle Eastern fusion” (Gramophone) that tells a story of self-discovery that is as intimately personal as it is universal.

Avital meets Avital is a dialogue between two musicians who originate from different worlds but share a common richness of musical heritage. Grammy^®-nominee mandolinist Avi Avital comes from a classical tradition whilst award-winning bass virtuoso and oud player Omer Avital is an acclaimed jazz performer and composer. Avital meets Avital draws on the diverse influences of Moroccan and North African sounds, folkloric and classical traditions, and Israeli harmonies and Mediterranean rhythms, creating a musical melting pot where the finesse of chamber music meets the raw emotional energy of jazz.

Recommended Grade Levels: 3-12

If you like cornbread, hush puppies, sweet tea & barbecue, you’re gonna love the Malpass Brothers. This is music steeped in the legacy of the Louvin Brothers, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Sr. & others. Count on classic, real country & on new Malpass tunes. Count on a couple of old-time traditional gospels, some big, high man-hair, & maybe an Elvis twitch or two. This engaging concert becomes a magnetic time-traveling journey to when a calmer rhythm reigned supreme. The music they do, they do because this music speaks to them & speaks to the souls of its listeners. For the Malpass Brothers, traditional country music is the ‘real deal’ – every song portrays life’s joys, heartaches, problems & happiness. It comes from the heart, has depth & truth. Nothing is sugar coated. Our goal, really, is to see this music be revived, to help ensure it doesn’t fade away.

The Skunk Farm is a unique music and camping venue in Upstate South Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We host two yearly music festivals.

The Six Personal Perspectives with Chris LaGarde

An individual’s mindset holds the key to what he/she can accomplish. Years ago, Gary Keller discovered that high achievers have a similar mindset when it comes to success-the key points encompassed in The Six Personal Perspectives. You too can be a high achiever and reach the highest level of success in business and in life by learning about, adopting and mastering these fundamental perspectives.

As one of the most expressive forms of art, this ballet paired with contemporary dance will showcase not only the bodies but the souls of a gender that is being heard and seen on a deeper level than ever before.

He toured and recorded with the Muddy Waters Band and recorded LPs with Otis Spann and John Lee Hooker. Mac moved to Los Angeles and produced Soul Train with his friend Don Cornelius. He even played bass on the Sanford & Son television show when he wasn't playing bass for Otis Redding and B.B. King. He retired from show business to be an organic farmer. Mac is back with his own band and a "plate full" of CDs, building a new foundation in blues, soul and funk. Mac now resides in Pelzer, SC, where at the age of 10 he got his first taste of the blues when he learned to play his brother Leroy’s home-made guitar. Going back to his roots, Mac is serving up a mess of Blues with his own band, “Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues”. The band consists Austin Brashier on guitar and vocals, Max Hightower on keyboards, harmonica, guitar, bass, and vocals, Scotty Hawkins or Dizzy Dizzy on drums and vocals, and Mac Arnold on vocals, bass and Gas Can Guitars.

Wofford College's Dr. Peter Brewitt will visit Hub City Bookshop to discuss his book Same River Twice.

Dam removal was not a realistic option in the twentieth century, and people who suggested it were dismissed as radical dreamers. Over the past twenty years, dam removal has become increasingly common, with dozens of removals now taking place each year nationwide.

How did this happen? Same River Twiceanswers this question by telling the stories of three major Northwestern dam removals—the politics, people, hopes, and fears that shaped three rivers and their communities. Author Peter Brewitt begins each story with the dam’s construction, shows how its critics gained power, details the conflicts and controversies of removal, and explores the aftermath as the river re-established itself.

Peter Brewitt received his PhD in environmental studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he focused on environmental policy. He is now a professor at Wofford College.

Please join SPACE and Thicketty Mountain Farm for an exciting new spring event: Bonnamoo! You won't want to miss this celebration of music, food, and farms at our beautiful Cleveland Preserve Farm. We've wanted to showcase this property for a while and we've found the perfect opportunity!

Those dining with us will enjoy a unique dinner carefully crafted by well-known Spartanburg chefs William and Jamie Cribb with wine pairings by Greg Atkins. The chefs will source local ingredients from their friends at Full Circle Farm, Lilly Mae Organics, and Colonial Milling. Featured on the menu will be grass-fed, sustainably raised beef from Thicketty Mountain Farm, Spartanburg’s only organic cattle farm, whose home is SPACE’s own Cleveland Preserve Farm. Every seat will be a seat at the chef's table as guests enjoy a spectacularly paired farm-to-table experience. Local musician, Janeen Scott will play while guests enjoy their meal. SPACE is grateful for our many supporters, the Bonnamoo dinner is presented by Pacolet Milliken and sponsored by the Johnson Group.

Following the dinner, guests are invited to mosey down the hill to enjoy a live performance by the Shane Pruitt Band, a Spartanburg favorite whose music embodies a regional tradition of blues and gospel while bringing its original tone and flare to every performance. Once the stage is warmed up, musical headliners Southern Culture On The Skids (SCOTS) will take the stage! SCOTS has been consistently recording and touring around the world since 1983. Their music has been featured in movies and TV, and their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock-and-roll.

26 Pebbles, a theatrical performance of Lander University, will be performed each night at Greenwood Community Theatre in Uptown Greenwood.

The story behind 26 Pebbles:
On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed twenty-six innocent souls before taking his own life. These twenty-six innocent deaths, like pebbles thrown into a pond, created ripples and vibrations that were felt far beyond the initial rings. This is the story of those vibrations.

This meeting is intended for leaders of organizations or departments involved in the food system, but everyone is welcome. We need your input on what is working and not working in regards to accessing healthy and local food in Spartanburg County.

Enjoy an evening of song focused on the sheer joy of dance in all its many styles & languages. Featuring music by Mark Patterson, John Leavitt, Tawn Thomas, Stephen Hatfield, Stacy Gibbs and many others. Performed by the Greenville Chamber Singers, an auditioned four-part women's ensemble that performs throughout the southeast.
