Songwriters Will Easter, Chris McGinnis and Jack Marion will perform an intimate concert at the Jones House Cultural Center on Sunday, November 15, at 4 p.m. Seating will begin at 3:30 p.m.
The concert will take place in the Mazie Jones Gallery Room at the Jones House, which will feature the works of local artist Katie Rose throughout November and December. The concert is limited to 40 seats, offering audiences an opportunity to experience live music in a small and personal setting.
Will Easter has always been a creator. Art, construction, or music, Will’s hands have always been creating. Songwriting is the throughline between Will’s raising in a porch picking family and his love of bringing something new into the world. Will’s music doesn’t neatly fit in any genre. His songs range from rollicking dance tunes like “River Song” that leave a crowd on its feet, to “Nostalgic Search” which feels like a gospel song being belted in a mountain church, to “Carolina Home” where he works through the complicated emotions of leaving home. His style of writing is specific enough that you can feel his exact emotions, but vague enough that it calls your own memories of those emotions to the front of your mind.
Chris McGinnis writes songs that exist somewhere between a hiccup and a heartache. His most recent EP, Songs For You, touches on the peculiarity of your hometown morphing beyond recognition. It tells the story of two Baby Boomers falling in and out of love across time zones and decades. It's about connection and disconnection alike. With the release of his debut full-length album Mamaw's Angel, Chris veers deeper into these familiar themes. Through tales of stolen Winnebagos and hip-shaking grandbabies, Chris' music is Appalachian absurdity for the 21st Century.
Jack Marion brings a youthful exuberance and high-country swagger to the doorsteps of modern country music. The Appalachian-based artist has spent years in honky-tonks, bars, and mountain roadhouses, collecting fodder for songs along the way. There are songs about living; written in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They are straight-from-the-hip and straight-from-the heart. No bull-honky. All truth. But they are just as catchy as any songwriting-factory-formed mega hit that will ever curse your ear.
