  • Dedication and Opening of Stetson Kennedy's Literary Landmark Home
    DEDICATION AND OPENING OF STETSON KENNEDY'S LITERARY LANDMARK HOME St. Johns County and the Stetson Kennedy Foundation will dedicate the Stetson Kennedy home and museum as a National Literary Landmark from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on November 16 at Beluthahatchee Park, 1523 State Road 13. In 2004, Kennedy’s home was designated a National Literary Landmark by the American Library Association as the site where Kennedy’s friend Woody Guthrie wrote his autobiography Seeds of Man. Beluthahatchee is now a landmark in Kennedy’s name, as well as, the only National Literary Landmark honoring two writers. The dedication of the National Literary Landmark plaque, the opening of Kennedy’s home to the public, and the dedication of the Gerald and Edith Kennedy Hart House will be held from 12 – 4 p.m., with a short ceremony at 1 p.m. Visitors will see the virtual tour of the cottage, portions of the film The Soul of a People, and footage from the upcoming documentary on Kennedy’s life. Beluthahatchee Park is located approximately 1.5 miles south of Julington Creek on the east side of State Road 13. Parking and shuttle service to the park will be available from the Bartram Trail Library and Alpine Grove Park from 11:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. According to Andrea Kalin, producer of the documentary film The Soul of a People, Stetson Kennedy was the last known surviving writer of the 8,000 writers and editors employed nationally in the Federal Writers Project during the 1930's New Deal.

  • Ruination Day”
    Woody Guthrie Annual, 4 (2018): Fernandez, “Ruination Day” “Ruination Day”: Gillian Welch, Woody Guthrie, and Disaster Balladry1 Mark F. Fernandez Disasters make great art. In Gillian Welch’s brilliant song cycle, “April the 14th (Part 1)” and “Ruination Day,” the Americana songwriter weaves together three historical disasters with the “tragedy” of a poorly attended punk rock concert. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865, the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, and the epic dust storm that took place on what Americans call “Black Sunday” in 1935 all serve as a backdrop to Welch’s ballad, which also revolves around the real scene of a failed punk show that she and musical partner David Rawlings had encountered on one of their earlier tours. The historical disasters in question all coincidentally occurred on the fourteenth day of April. Perhaps even more important, the history of Welch’s “Ruination Day” reveals the important relationship between history and art as well as the enduring relevance of Woody Guthrie’s influence on American songwriting.2 Welch’s ouevre, like Guthrie’s, often nods to history. From the very instruments that she and Rawlings play to the themes in her original songs to the tunes she covers, she displays a keen awareness and reverence for the past. The sonic quality of her recordings, along with her singing and musical style, also echo the past. This historical quality is quite deliberate. Welch and Rawlings play vintage instruments to achieve much of that sound. Welch’s axes are all antiques—her main guitar is a 1956 Gibson J-50.

  • Trace-Approved
    TRACE ADKINS Proud To Be Here In the fifteen years since his platinum debut, Trace Adkins has released ten studio albums, three greatest hits packages, and thirty chart singles. He has also racked up four Grammy nominations and five ACM and CMT awards. Accomplishments like that – along with sales in the tens of millions – explain the respect Adkins has earned from Country fans and the industry alike. But there’s more. In recent years, Trace has made his mark as a TV and film actor, a voiceover artist, an author, a social commentator, a participant on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice — and even the inspiration for a series of comic books. Along the way, Trace has endured his share of well-publicized tribulations, and the release of his latest album – Proud To Be Here – was marked by the same loss (and luck) that have shadowed Trace all his life. In June of 2011, as the finishing touches were being made to the album, the Nashville-area home Adkins shared with his wife and three of his five daughters was destroyed by fire. True to form, Trace thought first of his family’s safety, steered the outpouring of fan support toward the Red Cross…then got back to work. Adkins’ strength, focus and passion for fully lived life infuse every bit of his new project. Proud To Be Here is the perfect distillation of Trace's art, displaying once again his ability to pour emotional truth into his music, whether it is of the tender or the rowdy variety. The project celebrates committed love in songs like "Million Dollar View," "That's What You Get," and "Always Gonna Be That Way," the joys of the simple life in "Days Like This" and "Poor Folks," the lighter side in "It's A Woman Thang" and "Love Buzz," and life's highest priorities in "It's Who You Know." "There's so much on this record that's autobiographical," says the man with the soul-stirring baritone.
