EG Kight Trio
EG Kight is a gifted singer, songwriter, guitar play and storyteller from Dublin, GA.
When she talks, the endearing southern drawl draws people in like a magnet. And when she sings and plays that guitar, there’s no doubt that EG Kight means business. She tours as a trio or as a solo, and her live show consists of about 80% original songs. And as a storyteller, in between songs she often shares humorous stories with her audiences about her southern upbringing.
With her rich vocals, captivating guitar style, and hefty catalog of well-crafted original songs, she has entertained audiences around the globe in true southern style. An indisputable triple threat – as singer, songwriter, and guitar player - with her own unique blend of "country flavored southern fried blues”, her music appeals to fans across the genres.
Kight’s original songs have been recorded by several major blues artists, some have aired on five major TV networks and in film, and two songs recently aired on the Season 6 SEC Network “TrueSouth” episode about her hometown of Dublin. And those songs have been added to the ESPN Spotify playlist.
Kight’s 2021 "Trio Sessions" record garnered three Acoustic Album of the Year nominations from various music industry organizations. And Kight received three different Female Artist of the Year nods as well.
And her 2023 "Sticks & Strings" album was nominated for THREE awards for Acoustic Album from various industry organizations - a Blues Music Award, a Blues Blast award, and and Independent Blues Award. It debuted at #10 on the Billboard Blues Chart, #11 on the Big Blues Chart, #16 on the Living Blues Radio Chart, #19 on the Australian Blues and Roots Chart, and at #22 on the North American College & Community Radio Chart (NACC). And EG's trio - Gary Porter (drums/harmonica) and Ken Wynn (guitar/dobro) performed several songs from the record on the Blues Music Awards show in Memphis in May.
With a total of 21 music nominations over the last 25 years, Kight has no plans to slow down. She’s writing more new songs and performing more live shows, taking her unique blend of roots music to various stages across the country.
No matter the stage, wherever she’s making music, she’s at home. It’s what she does. It’s what she loves…

Female Sexuality Workshop
Join our 3 hour educational workshop for women centered on exploring and challenging the impact artistic narratives have on female sexuality. This will be an engaging, unusual way to explore the intersection between sexuality, identity, and art. No art experience or knowledge needed. While we will be utilizing sex therapy tools, this is not a therapy group.
Combining aspects of art history and sex therapy, we will learn the tools to:
- Examine visual media using art historical analysis
- Challenge harmful narratives about female sexuality using existential sex therapy principles
- Embrace freedom from limiting sexual narratives
This educational workshop is an excellent resource for any woman looking to learn skills and find freedom from constricting “shoulds” surrounding sexuality. If you are curious about learning more about sexual joy, freedom, and satisfaction, there is no better place to start than here!
February 16th, 2025 | 10am-1pm | $50
Meg Miller, M.Ed., (T)LPC-MHSP is a provisionally licensed therapist and art history lover. She is excited to connect her love for art history with her passion for sex therapy and share it with you! To learn more about Meg and the work that she does, visit mmillcounseling.com.
Hiroya Tsukamoto: A Journey Through Strings and Stories
"A Journey Through Strings and Stories"
Tsukamoto brings a blend of masterful fingerstyle guitar and evocative storytelling that transcends cultural barriers. His artistry, honed at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, has been celebrated on renowned stages like the Blue Note in NYC and the United Nations, and lauded for its “delicate, fluid, and beautifully detailed” style by Acoustic Guitar magazine.
Tsukamoto’s concerts are not just musical events; they are immersive experiences that weave lyrical narratives with intricate melodies. Recognized for his soulful performances that create an orchestra at his fingertips, he invites audiences into his world of musical exploration and emotional expression. This is a rare opportunity to witness a performer who has been celebrated for his ability to take listeners on an “impressionistic journey” (Boston Herald). Enchanting music that promises to resonate long after the final note is played.
AND he will be hosting a workshop earlier in the day!
Internationally acclaimed fingerstyle guitarist Hiroya Tsukamoto will lead a comfortable, informal masterclass for players of all levels of ability and accomplishment.
Wisdom on scales, thumb placement, tunings, improvisation, and more to help players improve and expand their talents will be presented with kindness and patience and easy laughter by one of the best fingerstyle players in the world.
Hiroya will demonstrate fingerstyle techniques, including chords and basic theory, breaking down elements such as tone and rhythm, explaining how to apply them to a practice routine. Questions will be warmly received.
LIVE! ON STAGE: JONATHAN RICHMAN featuring TOMMY LARKINS on the drums!
“Richman is one of America’s most unique and dynamic songwriters…” – Nashville Scene “Richman didn’t need much else besides a beat to work his magic.” – New York Daily News
“Buy tickets early. Buy tickets often. This is just good general life advice, but even more so when you’re talking about Jonathan Richman. Don’t get denied at the door, don’t leave things up to chance: You will regret it.” – Nashville Scene
“Rhymes worthy of Ogden Nash.” – The New York Times
“Richman has spent decades removing barriers between himself and his audience, cultivating an intimacy that is almost extinct in modern music.”- Nashville Scene
“As of a few years ago, I was going to just play theaters, cabarets and such, but we ended up by mistake at the Zebulon in Los Angeles and had such a fine time that those kind of shows have to happen too. So, you might see us nowadays in theaters, cabaret-style places, or the right club or bar. The theaters have the best sound, usually, and under-21s can get in, but in the clubs people can dance and get close in to ya, like we like. We’ll keep trying things.”
Restricted to ages 14+
Doors: 7:30, Show: 8:00 PM EST
Seating is limited for this event, so we recommend getting tickets in advance.

An Evening of Irish Fiddle with Kevin Burke
This appearance is cause for celebration not only for fans of Irish music and fiddlers, but for music lovers of all sorts. The Village Voice called Kevin Burke “probably the greatest Irish fiddler living”. Kevin Burke’s fiddle playing has been at the forefront of traditional music since the 1970’s. His contribution to music has received formal acknowledgement on both sides of the Atlantic where he has been the recipient of several awards including Ireland’s “Gradam Ceoil” (Traditional Musician of the Year, 2016), and a National Heritage Fellowship, the USA's highest honor for excellence in the folk and traditional arts. (Previous National Heritage Fellows include B.B. King, Doc Watson, and Bill Monroe.)
Although Kevin has spent much of his life playing in a group context, he has never lost his love for solo fiddle music – the “naked fiddle” as he himself sometimes puts it. Whether solo or accompanied, on record or in concert, Burke is an immensely engaging performer.
Comments from the Press
The New York Times describes Kevin as “a superior instrumentalist in any idiom......impressively virtuosic”, The Washington Post writes of his “lyrical style that is always emotionally electric”, and the Irish Times says that “Burke’s fiddling is one of the high spots of the current Irish musical scene”.
“Sublime fiddle playing from Burke …. each moment, just right” Folk Roots
Julie: The Queer Who Saved Christmas
The Seed Theatre presents: Julie: The Queer Who Saved Christmas
"Julie, The Queer that Saved Christmas" tells the powerful and heartwarming tale of a family navigating the complexities of acceptance and understanding when they are finally reunited with their adult child, Tiffany, who came out as transgender several years ago.
As the story unfolds, we meet an average family—a seemingly idyllic unit preparing for their annual Christmas gathering at Grandma Julie’s house. However, beneath the festive cheer, there's an underlying tension. Tiffany, who was once known as Marcus, grapples with the immense courage it takes to share their authentic identity with their loved ones. With emotions running high, the family members each process this change differently. Some struggle to come to terms, facing their own prejudices, misunderstandings, and fears. There's a clash between the desire to hold on to familiar expectations and the need to embrace Tiffany's truth and unconditional love.
The heart of the narrative lies in the transformation and growth of each family member. Through a series of heartfelt conversations, soul-searching, and challenges, the family learns to confront their biases, stereotypes, and preconceptions about gender identity. Tiffany's journey teaches them the importance of love, acceptance, and the true meaning of family bonds.
Through empathy, communication, and love, they discover that the true spirit of the holiday season is about embracing the uniqueness and diversity of each individual, recognizing that love transcends gender, and finding the courage to rebuild and unite as a stronger, more inclusive family.
"Julie, The Queer that Saved Christmas" beautifully illustrates the power of love and understanding, reminding us all that family is about acceptance, growth, and unconditional support, especially during the most cherished times of the year.

WREST
We are delighted to present a RARE matinee performance by 3 of our favorite practitioners of musical free improvisation. Jack Wright is an icon of the form, and Evan and Ben are agile cohorts to say the least. For those seeking autumnal excitement, we offer this alternative to SEC football.
WREST is…
Jack Wright (saxophones), Evan Lipson (double bass), Ben Bennett (percussion)
These three musicians live in Easton PA, Knoxville TN and Philadelphia respectively, and come together several times a year for touring, sometimes including guitarist Zach Darrup (Phila.) as RAWL. They began as a collaboration in Chicago in 2012 and played several shows on their way east.
The handful of people who know this kind of music call it free improvisation; others might say "experimental jazz," or even noise. This group played on tour for several years, mainly in the Midwest and Southeast, and after seven years has the chance to do it again. Wrest is restless, using all their imagination each show to do something stranger than we did the night before.
"Wrest-ing never does serious bodily harm but might scare your aunties and inlaws out of the room real quick. Sound and magic tricks on sax, floor percussion, bass. What happened? We don't know what we're doing until we're doing it."
We hope you will join us for a special Saturday matinee performance by these 3 astoundingly talented musicians!
Tickets: $10, Music starts at 3:00pm
