Comedy In The Triangle

Lately, I have been working with the group Humor Therapy as their co producer along with Yvette Holder and looking for places for them to do their shows. We have had a regular gig at The Casbah, and for awhile have been trying to have shows at The Well in Raleigh. One thing we have learned through this experience is that getting a regular crowd for a comedy show is not easy. And that club owners need to help tremendously with the marketing. Apparently, there are only a few comedians who can draw a crowd, and even they are not asking for a lot financially. One comedy promoter said he knew of only maybe a few comedians in this area who could consistently do a 30 minute show. And in the world of Improv, there are only two main Improv spots, ComedyWorx in Raleigh and DSI in Chapel Hill, and lately a new player has arrived in the game with Jeff Day consistently doing shows at Common Ground. Sometimes teaming up with other art forms like Poetry is the better way to do it. So far, the most successful show was when we teamed up with Slam Poets in a invitation Slam and had a nice crowd. Most of that audience was the poetry crowd and they enjoyed their poets but then learned about another art form. This has been a definite interesting journey, and if you want to get a taste of it, then head to Casbah tomorrow night. On that night, Humor Therapy in conjunction with Diversity Training will team up with musician Shawn Deena and visual artist Franco and give you a great show.

Don't forget the exciting 25th anniversary of the Bull Durham Blues Festival is just around the corner...Exciting performers like Bobby Blue Bland, Otis Clay, Marcia Ball, and the always fun Wild Magnolias will be bringing their unique sounds to the Durham Athletic Park. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance and enjoy the rich tradition of blues music support that exists in our area while also supporting a very worthy cause, the Hayti Heritage Center and its parent company, the St. Joseph's Historic Foundation. Also don't forget you can always book this lovely facility for your own events....

Hot weather but good music

Fourth of july had some great performances at the eno.  Dark water rising definitely gave a great set and of course my friends from aade always deliver....later after doing mc duties went to see another long time buddy and his groove shop band.  Yesterday worked wcom...looking forward to our move into art center of carrboro...sunday will be back at eno mcing....

Spring and Summer music

Yes the weather is lovely, and that must mean it's time for music festivals throughout the Triangle...Yesterday, Durham Parks and Recreation Department brought us another exciting Bimbe Festival. It was fun hearing the great sounds of musicians like Jah Creation, Kim Arrington, Carlitta Durand and seeing some good friends out there enjoying themselves. I missed the headliner Doug E. Fresh but friends of mine told me he gave a good show despite some sound glitches. I understand that day 1 of Artsplosure was rocking as well. I got good reports on it from my friend Yolanda Rabun who performed there and seemed to have had a good time. In addition to that, Shakori Hills and Earth Day have already happened and were fun events as well..Yes, rain did catch some of Earth Day and impact its attendance but that's the catch with outside events. You have to deal with what Mother Nature sends you. Already, the outside music series have started...Friday, I went to see Party Nuts for a few minutes at the Brightleaf series. And last Friday, i went to see some great local blues musicians perform at American Tobacco as part of their series...Among the Music Maker artist featured in this revue style show were Cool John Ferguson, John Dee Holeman, Pat Cohen, Ironing Board Sam, and others. Both of these series, and the Duke Gardens series always bring some great musicians. And of course June will be bringing us Juneteenth downtown and July will be bringing us Festival at the Eno. And then one of my personal favorites in September.. The Bull Durham Blues Festival celebratings its 25th anniversary at the Old Durham Bulls athletic Park.
