the Artsfest is BACk…And Better thAn ever

By Kim Thore

Continuing the tradition of

hosting one of the South’s

most significant cultural

events, ARTSfest will

of the best artists in NC September 14

with an unprecedented 65 artists.

ARTSfest will also host local musicians

and performers from the city’s cherished

art groups. Local food truck vendors

will present a taste of West End and

beyond, a kid’s art area will delight our

young visitors and door prizes will also

be available.

After a decade of spectacular events,

this year’s occasion promises to be an

experience to be remembered. This

biennial juried fine art show draws

thousands of visitors to our fair city and

WS ARTS MAGAZINE


festivals on the East Coast.

Beginning in 2003, ARTSfest is a labor of love for organizer

Kathy Stanley. As the Director of this year’s ARTSfest,

Kathy is excited about the energy that ARTSfest is building.

Kathy notes, "I cannot believe that this is the 10th year

since ARTSfest originally was conceived. It has been quite

an insightful journey getting to know just what it takes to

make an event like this happen. To make it look effortless.

Like Brigadoon it just magically appears every other year."

Continuing the tradition of showcasing some of North

Carolina’s best talent, the designation of Courtney

Tomchik’s work, “Spirit of the Heart” will grace the cover of

ARTSfest posters, publications and tee shirts.

Tomchik notes, “I feel so humbled to have been selected

as this year’s cover artist. "Spirit of the heart" is a personal

favorite of mine. The exposure of being the cover artist

will be the first for having my work seen around the area

in which I live now. As an Artist you put your work out

there and hope that it is well received by others. Art is very

personal to each artist. An acknowledgement of one’s

work so publicly is a true pat on the back that you are doing

what you are meant to do in life. Thank you for giving me

a pat on the back and reminding me why I do what I love.”

Triad SCOTTiSh FiddlErSStory and Photo Courtesy Triad Fiddlers Website

Triad Scottish Fiddlers and Friends is a Music Club, comprised of both amateur and professional musicians, that meets regularly in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, encompassing the cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point. The club is co-led by fiddlers Debbie Morris and Nora Garver. If you are a musi-cian - of any skill level - and you'd like to play Scottish traditional music, contact Debbie or Nora.Their contact info is listed below.

The group focuses on the interpretation and performance of traditional Scottish music, much of it from the Golden Age of Scottish music in the mid 18th to early 19th centuries. This period in Scottish history saw a great flowering of intellectual thought, literature and the arts, including popular demand for compositions of tunes to accompany Scottish Country dancers. These tunes took standard forms such as the jig, the reel, and the strathspey, and emphasized tempo and rhythm as well as melody. The tunes, often named for the person who commissioned them, were usually performed by a lone fiddler accompanied by a bass-player, today's cello. TSFF has a core of about six fiddlers, a cello, Celtic drum, harp, low and high whistles, recorder, guitar, and even a hammered dulcimer on occasion! Traditional Scottish dance music made its way to America with merchant ships and Scottish and Irish immigrants, and its echoes can be heard in the traditional folk music of the Ap-palachian Mountains today.

Patrick Rock is a talented singer/songwriter hailing from Greensboro, NC. He released his solo record debut, When All Else Fails… through Nascent Republic Records on March 17, 2009. This is an album two years in the making, and boasts tracks such as “Save Me” and “California” that are both musically engaging and lyrically solid. The album is available in digital and CD format.

Patrick is continuing to gain recognition in his area, and was selected for the fourth time to open up for the band Sister Hazel at their Greensboro show. He was also chosen as Omega Sports Store’s Artist of the Month for August 2009. Patrick most recently won a contest by Sonicbids and had an in-store performance at the Greensboro GAP, where his music will now be entered in a national contest with consideration for store and advertisement placement.

“The past is all behind me, I need the future now…” sings Patrick in his song, “Muse.” Nothing could be closer to the truth at the moment. Already having a reputation as a great live performer, he is planning on sticking to his formula of high energy live shows and plans to introduce an intimate acoustic portion as well. It quickly becomes apparent to members of any audience how well-suited and relaxed Patrick is onstage. “The last couple of albums I put out really struck home with my audience and I’m hoping this one will be just as relatable.” Dur-ing performances, each lyric is delivered with the same intensity as the moment it was written, and it’s easy to get lost in the expressiveness of the songs.

The Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance was founded by director Fred Gorelick in 1983. Gorelick, who taught advanced acting classes at the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem at the time, began producing “showcase”productions to show his students’ work to the public. His tireless energy and tenacity resulted in a permanent functioning theatre, the Winston Salem Theatre Alliance. He would later recall that starting a community theatre company “is one of those things that you only do when you are young and stupid”. Youth and stupidity notwithstanding, Gorelick and his feisty band of thespian “pioneers” built the foundations for one of Winston-Salem’s most respected theatre arts organizations.

During Gorelick’s tenure, WSTA was incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, and still operates under that charter. The first production was “The Royal Family”, performed at the Reynolda House, followed by “Crimes of The Heart” at Wake Forest University. Other shows in the 1980′s included “The Real Thing”, “House of Blue Leaves”, “The Crucible”, and “True West”.

In the 1990s, Michael Huie was appointed Artistic Director of the Theatre Alliance, and held that title for several years. During this time, a more formally structured Board of Directors began to form, with Harold Tedford serving as President. Administrative responsibilities took on greater importance.

The first decade of the new century saw a departure of Michael Huie as Artistic Director. Again, guest directors were hired to direct shows, with board members taking a greater role in production responsibilities. Eventually, one of the guest directors, Jamie Lawson, was asked to assume the responsibility of Artistic Director. For the first few years, Lawson relied on himself and guest directors to mount complete seasons of Theatre Alliance productions. Thereafter, Lawson assumed the responsibility of producing and directing all of Theatre Alliance’s shows.

Over the years, the Theatre Alliance has produced shows in various venues, including the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, the Augsburg Community Center, Wake Forest University, and several years at SECCA. This year, on the occasion of its 25th birthday, the Theatre Alliance has moved out of other peoples’ basements and into a “home” of its own in the West End of Winston-Salem, at the corner of Reynolda and Northwest Blvd. There, it hopes to continue entertaining its loyal fans, and winning over new ones, with some of the most interesting and entertaining theatre in the Triad.

Jelisa Castrodale of the Winston-Salem Journal may have described the sound of Karon Click best back in 2011: "There's a lot to dig about Karon Click — starting with her oversized voice — but her enthusiasm for her music and her passion for performing are numbers two and three on the list....Click has paid her dues as a regular on the local scene. Click and her seven-piece crew play a type of jazz that blows the dust off the old standards and arranges less-familiar covers in a way that ensures they'll buzz around your head for the next week or so."

You'll be movin and groovin to tunes from the 20's onward! We put a little spin on some of the old standards combining horns with the poignant sound of the the violin to create something fresh for your ears.

The Fernando Leon Family Reserve: The Return of the

Simple LifeBy Ed Hanes

FROM THE SIMPLE AND CLASSY BAND TO THE ONLY MODERATELY VEINY BODY, THE FERNANDO LEON IS A READY COMPANION FOR THOSE WHO ENjOY A MEDIUM

BODIED SMOKE. AFTER A CLEAN PUNCH FROM MY ROUND CUTTER, I PULLED A COLD DRAW TO SEE WHAT I WAS IN FOR. SWEET TOBACCO….SLIGHT PEPPER ON THE DRAW….MEMORIES OF FALL AFTERNOONS IN MONTICELLO PARK. THE DRAW SEEMS FREE, PROMISING CLEAR PULLS AND RICH SMOKE WITH EVERY PUFF.


The Fernando Leon Family Reserve lights easily when exposed to the cedar scrap fl ame (I only use the cedar scrap when I’m feeling fancy and a little nostalgic). The cigar produces an excellent amount of smoke as expected. What is surprising is the disappearance of the loose draw experienced at lighting. The Fernando produces just the right amount of resistance. The fl avor in the fi rst 1/3 of the cigar is a sweet tobacco and a nice black pepper. The pepper is deeper and not quite as in your face as, say, a classic Pepin stick. The burn is even and measured, complemented by an overall construction that seems top shelf. Into the second third the pepper becomes more pronounced and is the dominant fl avor. Another surprise awaits the patient afi cionado: a citrus element enters the profi le and lingers on the fi nish. Moving into the second third the citrus element becomes much more pronounced emitting a fully mature grapefruit like sweetness. Have I mentioned that the ash still holds on like a sentinel on post? This point can’t be overstated: ash is cool because it….cools! Ash quells the inferno erupting within the stick and allows for a slower more eventful burn. Too hot and your mouth will pay with stinging bitterness of scorched tobacco. Too cool and that same tobacco turns to mush, making what should be a relaxing moment an Olympic prize fi ght: your torch against the under heated stick.Coming down the home stretch the pepper asserts its

dominance in the fl avor profi le, vanquishing the citrus to a subtle but lingering reminder. As this cigar maintains excellent construction and refuses to burn hot, it can be smoked down to the tips of your fi ngers. Not fi nger licking but good nonetheless.The Fernando Leon Family Reserve is a simple cigar anyone should enjoy. The fl avor profi le is fairly straight forward even with the interesting weaving of the citrus. The choice of citrus fl avor…grapefruit…was the one element that raised an eyebrow for me. Interesting is good….unexpected can be exciting…but grapefruit? I say to each his own and creativity should be rewarded (even by the “bah humbug” crowd among us). Strength wise I would put this stick solidly in the medium category. I would recommend it to someone graduating from mild cigars and wanting to take the next step or even to a seasoned connoisseur who enjoys a medium smoke with good fl avors. For its nice gray and white ash that held far into the experience, for its abundance of smoke produced, and for its daring (and controversial) use of a grapefruit citrus profi le, we award the Fernando Leon the more than respectable 4 E.D.S ranking.

WS Arts Magazine has designed and implemented a ratings system where cigars receive an E.D.S (really...I didn't name the rating system after myself) of 1-5.

Each review explains, in easy to understand terms, why we chose that particular rating for a given cigar. Our ratings system is described as follows:

1 E.D.S - These are cigars of last resort. They are questionable even if only mowing the yard or planting a garden.2 E.D.S - These cigars make tolerable companions while you wash your car. They aren't looking for attention, nor should they!3 E.D.S - These are pretty respectable cigars but may still fall short. We recommend them for the golf course, the back porch with one of your uninitiated friends, or for the after wedding party (for the husband of your best girlfriend who thinks he knows everything about cigars).4 E.D.S - Now we’re talking. Enjoy these fine cigars after a delicious meal or with your favorite cocktail. Again, I prefer Fridays at Single Brothers (or my Cigar Room). Join me!5 E.D.S - Respect your elders! These complex treats are true works of art. They deserve Coltrane, good friends, and your favorite adult tasty treat. Only the best!
