‘Failure: A Love Story’ stage production (5+yrs)

A whimsical story meant for ages 5+ of 3 sisters Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty living out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out.

This modern fairy tale follows the journey of 3 girls growing to adulthood, navigating friendship and loss, and shows that in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual’s successes or failures.

ACA returns in our 6th milestone season with a signature style of lyrical language and sophisticated visual storytelling devices including live video and found object puppets to present a crowd pleasing performance for audiences of all ages.

With: Daniele Martin, Katie Jones, Kelsey Sewell and Julia Cunningham.

Dramaturgy: Alex Smith Lights: Jason Williams
Video: Holly Heveron-Smith and Flywheel Film Sound & Composition: Jonesalee Music
Props / Set Dressing / Installation: Chifferobe Home and Garden

Tellico:Cowee Summer Concert Series #3

Tellico independently released their debut album Relics and Roses on June 2, 2015. The album features the singing and songwriting of Anya Hinkle (guitar, fiddle) and Stig Stiglets (bass), and showcases Aaron Ballance on dobro and pedal and lap steel and Jed Willis on mandolin and clawhammer banjo. Guitar virtuoso Jon Stickley (Jon Stickley Trio) produced the album and makes a few guest appearances with drums and guitar. The album is available now for pre-order at Tellicoband.com and includes an immediate download of the leading track, “Backstep Blues,” which is also available to stream now at the band’s website.

Firmly planted in Asheville NC’s thriving roots music scene, Tellico is well schooled in bluegrass but with an unbridled organic “Appalachiacana” sound, combining some of the finest voices, songs and instrumental prowess in western North Carolina and beyond. Anya and Stig’s committed, authentic vocals are alloyed with Aaron’s flowing and soaring dobro and Jed’s textured and expressive mandolin, rooted in the mountain music they grew up with while pushing tradition into a modern Americana sound aesthetic.
