When you have a 7 year live website dedicated to all things Durham Cool, eventually you end up with a photo essay entitled, “Oak Canopy Study in 4”. You do this not out of boredom or a slows new’s day filler, rather because your heart is fully open to such a quotidian living beauty, oft overlooked by all but the pair of playful squirrels who entertain us each evening at 5:26 pm.
JOE HENRY COMES TO DUKE PERFORMANCES FOR THREE-DAY RESIDENCY
SINGER, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER & AUTHOR JOE HENRY comes to Duke Performances for a unique three-day residency, featuing a talk at the Nasher Auditorium about his artistic predecessors, an intimate chat at SoundPure Studios about his songwriting and recording process, and culminating in the debut of his new album, Thrum, in concert backed by a full ensemble. Don’t miss this opportunity to look inside the creative process of one of American music’s essential living artists.
I’ve wanted to collaborate with Shirlette Ammons for a while now and Tamisha Waden has been singing with the Guitarheels for a few years, not to mention her work with The Foreign Exchange and her solo career. I had a song idea that worked to all of our collective strengths so we threw it together for y’all. Pay what you want and know that all proceeds will be going to Blackspace, a social/cultural/afrofuturist space where Durham youth learn everything from beat making to video editing and film making.
