SUMMARY:Niswonger Performing Arts Center: Brian Culbertson
DESCRIPTION:Brian Culbertson: The Trilogy Tour\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of crafting a 25-album catalog and architecting nearly 40 Billboard No. 1 singles as a multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter and producer\, Brian Culbertson has charted his own unique course in music. Culbertson burst onto the scene in 1994 with a chart-topping album that he recorded in his college apartment featuring keyboard-led contemporary jazz tracks. Long Night Out landed him a lengthy record deal and signaled that a star was born. \nFlash forward to present day\, Culbertson composed thirty songs that populate the three albums in The Trilogy that describes the three-part arc of a long-term relationship: the hot and steamy “falling in love” phase\, the rocky middle when perhaps they even break up for a bit\, and the couple reunites to live “happily ever after” phase.  The Trilogy Tour features a mix of songs from The Trilogy albums\, as well as the greatest hits from Brian Culbertson’s catalog.

SUMMARY:Kingsport Exchange Place: Christmas in the Country
DESCRIPTION:Kingsport\, TN – Exchange Place will once again be playing its part in the “conspiracy of love” by hosting its\nannual Christmas in the Country celebration on Saturday\, December 2\, from 10:00 am until 4:00\npm at Kingsport’s historic Living History Farm\, located at 4812 Orebank Road. Proudly listed on the\nNational Register of Historic Places\, admission will be $5 for adults and completely free for children\nunder 12 in the final public event of the year at the tradition-rich farmstead. \nVendors and demonstrators will be found on both sides of Orebank Road\, which will feature unique\,\nhandmade folk arts and crafts such as pottery\, one-of-a kind greeting cards\, inimitable soaps\, paintings\,\nhand-woven items\, wooden ware and jewelry. People who come from all over for Vickie Price’s wreaths\,\nroping and bundles — made with a wide variety of freshly-cut greenery – will be happy to know that the\nMountain City resident will be there and fully supplied. \nChristmas in the Country actually began its life as Christmas in a Country Kitchen\, and scrumptious food is\nstill a main component of the festival. Joining long-time favorite Charlotte Ellis of Flour Fancies with her\nhomemade breads and fruit cakes will be others with baked goods and treats\, both to eat on-site and to\ntake home. A special addition this year is Lynette Carter with her holiday molded chocolates\, with proceeds\nbenefiting Exchange Place. Two Dads Cafe of Kingsport will have lunch and snack items available\, such as\nchili\, potato soup\, pork barbecue and cobbler. \nWhile this is a perfect place to find distinctive holiday gifts\, decorations and stocking stuffers\, Christmas in\nthe Country is much more than just another shopping opportunity. Part of our mission is to demonstrate\nhow our pre-Civil War ancestors would have prepared for the holidays\, which can be seen in many of our\nhistory-rich buildings. The Eden’s Ridge Hearth Cookery Society\, featuring the Junior Apprentices\, will\nbe making salsify fritters and cinnamon waffles in the kitchen\, and ginger cakes and popcorn in the Cook’s\nCabin.  The JAs will be a busy group\, as they will be decorating a tabletop Christmas tree and making\npomanders (a ball made for perfumes to ward off foul odors) in the Schoolhouse\, chopping wood and\nassisting in the Blacksmith Shop. They will also be offering a variety of handmade and historically-inspired\ngoods\, including tulip poplar baskets\, ginger cakes\, Christmas crackers\, and Yule Log kits. \nAs is always the case\, the Overmountain Weavers Guild will be in a variety of places around Exchange\nPlace. They will be demonstrating their skills and displaying the weavings from the three top winners of\ntheir 50th Anniversary Challenge\, and continuing their exhibit of yarns dyed naturally with herbs and plants\,\nas well as Suzanne Burow’s reconstructions and innovations woven from antique drafts. The rare\, restored\nrocker beater looms can be seen in the Burow Museum\, while handmade and handspun fiber items\, some\nmade using the wool from our Cotswold sheep\, will be on sale in Roseland. Near the Burow Museum\,\nvisitors will find a red-seated carriage (no horses\, sorry!)\, perfect for a photo with that old-time feel that\ncould become this year’s holiday card. \nPopular artist Jennifer Hanlon returns to lead a needle-felting workshop that will result in participants\ncreating their own snowman\, a perfect holiday addition. This fascinating class will begin at 10:30 am in the \nRoseland building and will last for much of the day. The cost of the workshop will vary\, depending on how\nmuch you would like supplied by Jennifer; please visit her website for complete information\, including the\nrequired advance registration (https://www.hanlonscreativecorner.com/events). \nIn the Blacksmith Shop\, David and John Pace will be working using a newly-restored bellows. The father-\nand-son duo\, who began volunteering last year\, discovered that the bellows – which provides additional air\nto the fire\, making the forge hotter — had several holes in the bladder\, some dry rot\, missing hardware and\na crack in one of its wooden paddles. They took it upon themselves to restore the bellows\, and you can\nsee their completed effort at Christmas in the Country. (You can also see a story about their project on\nwww.youtube.com/@JandDprojects0965.) \nBirding Kingsport\, a chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society\, will partner with Wild Birds\nUnlimited in Johnson City and offer bird feeders\, seed and other specialties for our winged friends\, along\nwith answering questions about feeding and birding. Pine cone feeders can be made on site\, and\ninstructions will be provided on how to build a nest box for the beautiful Eastern Bluebird. (In honor of\nlongtime volunteer Ron Russum\, who passed away earlier this year\, new bluebird houses will be put up\naround the farm.) Exchange Place will also continue its tradition of inviting visitors to help decorate a tree\nfor the birds. \nShowing the simplicity of the Christmas celebration on the Preston Farmstead in 1850 is a focus of hands-\non children's activities. A youngster of that era might have made a toy\, gift or card from natural treasures\nfound on the farm\, or from leftover cloth or yarn\, something that could be hung on the Christmas tree.\nSeasonal "chores\," like grinding corn\, or the necessity of making candles to get through the winter\, will be\nlocated around the site\, depending on the weather\, of course. Meeting the animals who call Exchange\nPlace home year-round – the cow\, donkey\, chickens\, pigs and sheep – is always an enduring treat for\nchildren of all ages. And stocking stuffers and unusual gifts can be found at the Museum Store\, located\nnext door to the Roseland building. Shoppers will find ol' timey toys\, oak split baskets\, and a variety of\nitems exclusive to our farmstead\, like Exchange Place prints\, ornaments\, a cookbook of 19th century\nrecipes\, and much more. \nThe Yule Log Ceremony\, a free community tradition\, is always popular and will be held near the Cook’s\nCabin beginning around 4:15 pm\, concluding the day’s festivities. Originated by the Vikings\, it served as\na way for them to honor their gods and request good luck in the coming year. Later it was incorporated\ninto the harvest festivals of Germany and Scandinavia\, then moved to England when the Normans\nconquered the isles\, and eventually was brought to the New World by the Pilgrims. While the Preston\nfamily may not have burned a Yule Log\, we like to make it a part of our Christmas in the Country as a\nsymbol of peace and good will for our wonderful community. Since it was often decorated with evergreens\nand sometimes sprinkled with grain or cider before it was finally lit\, we encourage everyone to bring a sprig\nto cast onto the fire\, and also to wear fine\, colorful headgear to the event\, which will conclude with the\nsinging of carols and\, of course\, a cup of hot wassail! Derived from the Anglo-Saxon “waes hael\,” which\nmeant “Be in Health” or “Here’s to You\,” wassail helps us to emphasize the spirit of health and friendship.\nFor more information\, you may call Exchange Place at 423-288-6071\, or visit the new website at\nexchangeplacetn.org. \nExchange Place is a living history farm whose mission is to preserve and interpret the heritage of mid-\nnineteenth century farm life in Northeast Tennessee. Exchange Place is a non-profit organization maintained\nand operated by volunteers and is supported by donations\, fundraisers\, memberships and grants.
