Susan Greenbaum May 3rd, Wednesday 6pm The Memory Center “Summer Concert Series” Susan recently released her CD, “This Life,” on Compass Records Group. It is her fifth recording, and her first on Compass. The recording is already receiving significant national airplay on Americana, folk and country stations. Producers Alison Brown and Garry West were so pleased with the recording once it was completed that they decided to sign Greenbaum to their label. Country/Americana music website “Roughstock” calls her “a songwriting talent to be reckoned with,” comparing her writing and singing to Mary Chapin Carpenter and Bonnie Raitt. Susan’s four earlier CDs include three all-original recordings and one holiday collection, “You Are My Holiday.” Billboard has reviewed two songs from “Hey, Hey, Hey!” in the “Singles” column, saying that Susan’s “voice is a delight, strong, clear, and drenched in pleasing harmonies” and calling her “a startlingly adept writer…ripe for national airplay.” Prior to "Hey, Hey, Hey!" Susan released "Wake Up!" as a follow-up to her mostly acoustic debut CD, "Actual Size." Susan enjoyed overwhelming success on the tour across the Northeast, welcoming thousands of new fans. She and her band were also among select acts picked to perform at a recent Virginia Governor’s Inaugural Concert. Susan draws big, enthusiastic audiences who delight in her lively, diverse and powerful performances. Susan has appeared at such venues as The Bottom Line in NYC, The Birchmere, Bethlehem Musikfest, Floyd Fest, and Rams Head Tavern. In addition to touring with Jewel, Susan’s credits include performing an acoustic set with Dave Matthews Band violinist Boyd Tinsley; sharing bills with Jill Sobule; and opening for Kenny Loggins, Patty Griffin, Dar Williams, Janis Ian, Todd Snider, Jim Messina, Tuck and Patti, Iris DeMent, Lucy Kaplansky, Lloyd Cole and Catie Curtis. Susan also endorses W.L Gore’s Elixir Strings. .

2012 Buskirk-Chumley Theater Annual Report
2012 CRAFTING THE CONVERSATION 2012 marked ten full years of BCT Management, Inc.’s leadership in operating the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. In addition, December brought the 90th anniversary of former Indiana Theater’s existence as a gathering place in downtown Bloomington. It was a time for reflecting on how far we’ve come, building for the future, and celebrating the connections we’ve made along the way. Beginning in 1922, the history of our community theater is an inspiring tale of individual vision, cooperative struggle, and ongoing communication between Bloomington and rest of the world. Facilitating that dialogue is at core of our mission. Our mission is accomplished in thousands of day-to-day actions. As an organization, 2012 brought strong focus on aligning every moment and task with our greater goals. Staff re-organization that began in January reminded us of the concept of the “lean, mean, fighting machine.” In our efforts to provide patrons and promoter partners the best possible facility and service at the least expense, we pared down overhead and streamlined technology in a variety of areas. However, our goals are not about combat, but conversation. Over the course of these twelve months, I believe we’ve transformed to a “lean, green, accessible machine,” which functions smoothly for the benefit of the whole community. We’re so grateful for the dedication and support of all our partners. The strong numbers represented in these pages reflect more than ten years of investment from individuals, businesses, organizations and public entities. Together, we’ve built a place for all, where sharing our stories is at the heart of the matter.

Rev Your Bev Day at the Boyd Tinsley Clay Court Classic
*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *** Rev Your Bev Day at the Boyd Tinsley Clay Court Classic Charlottesville, Virginia (4/27/2018) – QuickStart Tennis of Central Virginia, Inc. (QCV) is pleased to report that it partnered with the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth (VFHY) in presenting the 2018 Rev Your Bev Day at the Boyd Tinsley tournament. This event was a big hit with the 50+ kids who were treated to fruit-infused sparkling water and cucumber- and lemon-infused tap water – tasty alternatives to sodas and juice that contain a lot of sugar. VFHY encourages their Rev Your Bev Day partners to incorporate extra ideas and activities to promote making healthy beverage choices. QCV supplemented the standard event offerings with fresh fruit and veggies to garnish the water. QCV also gave the kids Go Bananas! bracelets and Go Bananas! cards explaining the healthy benefits of water, cucumbers and berries. Lynda Harrill, QCV QuickStart Tennis Coordinator, says, “We talk to kids about the importance of drinking water and hydration all the time as part of our Go Bananas for QuickStart! campaign. Rev Your Bev Day gave us the opportunity to talk to kids, who participated in the free kids tennis clinic at the Tinsley tournament, about flavored water as an alternative to sugar-laden beverages and to promote eating lots of fruit. QCV Board member Barbara Bozsik did an awesome job preparing all the fresh fruit to make it appealing to kids. I had to laugh as Barbara passed around fruit while the kids were eating pizza and drinking bottled water at the end of the tennis event.

Dar Williams Has Always Followed Her Muse. When She Was up in Somerville, Massachusetts in the Early Nineties, Knowing That
Dar Williams has always followed her muse. When she was up in Somerville, Massachusetts in the early nineties, knowing that she wanted to pursue music or theater, she worked backstage at the Opera Company of Boston and wrote plays on the side. But she was in Boston, and the muse led her into the myriad open mics and tip jar gigs of booming folk revival. She opened a trunk of old songs and started writing new ones. She went to three or four open mics or song circles a week and recorded two cassettes. Yes, cassettes. When she felt like the noise of Boston was getting to be too much, the muse led her to the cornfields and college towns of Western Massachusetts where she sat on her futon and wrote the songs that would become The Honesty Room, her first CD, which she recorded in the basements and back woods studios of Amherst. She hoped the songs she was writing, with titles like When I Was a Boy, You’re Aging Well, and The Great Unknown, would lead her into an idiosyncratic part-time music career. Little did she know that the coffeehouse scene and the beginnings of internet communities were building to a crescendo and eager to receive her warm, witty songs. By the end of 1994, when The Honesty Room came out, she had rock-solid management, the best booking agency in the country for singer-songwriters, and a career-making slot at the Newport Folk Festival. She also signed with Razor & Tie records and penned the material for her next album, Mortal City.

Ellis Paul Biography - LONG
Ellis Paul Biography - LONG “Despite his success and sense of history, Mr. Paul remains an artist with his eye on the future and an interest in discovering the transformative potential in his music.” - The New York Times Some artists document their lives through their music. Others chronicle their times. It’s a rare artist who can do both, telling their own story through songs that also encapsulate the essence of people and places who have helped define their era overall. Woody Guthrie comes to mind, and so does Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen certainly as well. Yet few others, for whatever genius they may possess, can relate their own history to the history experienced by those who find that common bond, be it in a coming of age, living through the same realities or sharing similar experiences. Ellis Paul is one of those gifted singer/songwriters. Though some may refer to him as a folk singer, he is more, for lack of a better word, a singular storyteller, a musician whose words reach out from inside and yet also express the feelings, thoughts and sensibilities that most people can relate to in one way or another, regardless of age or upbringing. The exhilaration of the open road. A celebration of heroes. The hope for redemption. Descriptions of those things that are both near and dear. The sharing of love..., intimate, passionate and enduring. These are the scenarios that emerge from Ellis Paul’s new album, Chasing Beauty, a set of songs which detail, in typical Paul fashion, stories of people and places that reflect larger truths about us all.
