Yola’s inimitable vocals share nuanced stories of allyship, black feminine strength through vulnerability,collective awakening and loving connection from the sexual to the social. Yola declares that it is only when we stand for ourselves, and acknowledge our complexity, that we can be truly alive. For Yola, living is more than merely surviving. Stand for Myself is the anthemic new album from Yola.
Produced by Dan Auerbach(The Black Keys), the record is a timeless masterpiece marking an idiosyncratic sonic shift, which will defy all expectation — a sophisticated and diverse sonic mix of symphonic country-soul and classic pop, tracing an expansive musical thread to Yola’s most eclectic musical inspirations.

When a journalist goes to interview an aged man for her book on World War II, he fires a gun at her. Promptly arrested, he gets the attention of a Homeland Security agent. It seems the elderly man lied on his initial immigration application when he entered the United States from Poland after World War II and is wanted for international war crimes. Is he who she thinks he is? Did he commit the crimes she is accusing him of? Is the fact he was a prisoner at Buchenwald Concentration Camp and not a German soldier provide any justification for what he may have done? A powerful drama that examines how far we'll go to protect the ones we love.

ABOUT THE JUNALUSKA GOSPEL CHOIR
Nestled within the Junaluska neighborhood, one of the oldest predominantly African American communities in western North Carolina, the “little white church on the hill†has been home to some of the region’s most talent-rich gospel ensembles and over the years, the Junaluska Gospel Choir’s unique and eclectic sound has evolved into a passionate blend of gospel styles. Famous throughout the NC High Country for their passionate and uplifting performances in the Black and Old-time gospel traditions, The Junaluska Gospel Choir is based in the historic Boone Mennonite Brethren Church. The choir features singers who come from multiple generations of gospel singing tradition.

The music and dance traditions of southern Appalachia have often been portrayed as a culture that was brought to the U.S. from the British Isles. In fact, they have multicultural roots. They are a blend of earlier European, African, and Native American traditions, and they reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of America. In this presentation, we will identify some of the many contributions of African Americans to these uniquely “American†traditions.

The Lonesome Ace Stringband is an old-time band with bluegrass chops that play some righteous folk and country music. There's a depth of groove and sense of space not often heard in bluegrass today, a level of instrumental interplay and vocal blend uncommon in old-time, and an on-stage rapport that transcends all of this.

The Cinema Classic Halloween Film Series is sponsored by Lost Province Brewing Company and kicks off on Tuesday, September 27 with Hocus Pocus just days before the nationwide release of the movie’s first sequel. The original 1993 version is a fantasy comedy horror film that follows a villainous comedic trio of witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy
Najimy), who are inadvertently resurrected by a virgin teenage boy in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night. The annual celebration of Halloween has helped make the film a cult classic.
