WHEN:

WHAT: Blueground Undergrass (the original line-up)
WHERE: The Neighborhood Theatre
The original line-up: Rev. Jeff Mosier, brother Johnny Mosier, David Blackmon on fiddle, and pedal steel pro Mark Van Allen
Formed originally in 1998 by Jeff Mosier, Blueground Undergrass has developed a solid reputation and nationwide following by playing its multi-faceted music mix coast-to-coast. The band has always been known for exciting performances and eclectic arrangements. Its sonic wall of twang type sound pleases the whole spectrum of fans from hippies to cloggers to rockers, taking Blueground Undergrass to the brink of almost mosh-pit energy, yet guiding each show with song-driven clarity along the way.

WHEN:
09/05/2008 @ 9pm
WHAT: Toubab Krewe -- Josh Phillips Folk Festival supports
WHERE: The Neighborhood Theatre
Toubab Krewe's strong Malian flavor is peppered with tastes of Caribbean, Jamaican, and, as the band puts it, "dirty south" music. Most of the band members' roots are in Asheville, North Carolina, and their southern neighbors often confuse the harp-like ngoni and kora for a banjo. Yet, Toubab Krewe's Teal Brown, Drew Heller, Justin Perkins, David Pransky, and Luke Quaranta emanate the energetic spirit that is an essential element of the dance music in Africa. Toubab Krewe's name is, in fact, a stellar reflection of their multicultural musical interests. The word "toubab" means "white people" or "foreigners" in the Malinke and Bambara languages and is used in a non-derogatory way to refer to white people all over West Africa. The spelling of "Krewe" references New Orleans, which Brown says is "because New Orleans is the gateway through which so much music came to us--ragtime, blues, jazz. It's a reference to that portal." The band has spent extensive time in West Africa studying and performing with musical legends such as Lamine Soumano, Vieux Kante, Madou Dembele, and Koungbanan Conde. Thus, their use of traditional instruments like the soku, kamel ngoni, and kora, is not only professional and informed, but inspired and natural, as well.

Jason Basden, Storytime - 3D sculptures, also featuring paintings by Bracken Johnson and jewelery by Erica Shaver. Jason Basdens art is influenced by the Neolithic fertility sculptures and African art, and is inspired by story, myth, and his own imagination which places his subjects far over the cusp of reality and into the realm of the impossible.
