411 Concert: Dori Freeman with Opening Act Craig Wasner, Maren Brogger and Rob Ryden

Dori Freeman’s inimitable signature sound is in peak form on her fourth studio album, Ten Thousand Roses. Raised among a family of musicians in the Blue Ridge Mountains and hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of the most authentic vocalists to emerge from the hills of southwestern Virginia in recent years,” she’s a bonafide Appalachian artist, while simultaneously shattering the archetype by empowering the characters in her songs with personal strength and homegrown wisdom. Through this process, she both defies and expands notions of what it means to be from the region.

“Good People: A Photographic Exploration of Morrison County” Exhibit Opening

Through photography, Anthony Marchetti examines questions that lack concrete answers. While photography often presents a ‘trace’ of reality, it has always had a tenuous relationship to fact.

In his work, individual narratives speak to larger, universal truths.
