He was an initial member of the Carrboro Music Festival committee in 1997 and was then responsible for assembling the participating musicians. In 2002 he was asked by Mayor Mike Nelson to take over full responsibility for the event and with the able assistance of a volunteer committee and Carrboro's Recreation and Parks Department, has steered the festival in an invigorating direction. Officials estimate that 10,000 attendees strolled throughout Carrboro's downtown in 2011 and enjoyed the sights and sounds of 185 diverse performers at 25 venues. As always, diversity was of paramount importance with widely different musical styles represented by a mosaic of racial, ethnic and age groups. Mr. Williams has forty years of professional music experience since finishing the American Studies Program at The University of Maryland. He was a researcher at The Library of Congress' Folksong Archive and for The Labor Union Song Project. He has owned and operated independent CD and record stores in Washington,DC and Carrboro, NC, and has done booking for a well-known international musician as well as local and regional artists. He was the Music Program Director at The ArtsCenter for two years. He also has done special event planning for Carrboro and non-profits in Orange and Chatham Counties as well as benefits for local musicians without Health Insurance,two area schools, Asian Tsunami relief, and various community non-profits. The day long, free festival features all styles of music at numerous outdoor and indoor venues including The Cat's Cradle, Milltown, Weaver Street Market,The Century Center, Armadillo Grill, The Music Loft, and the Town Commons. This festival is designed to provide the wealth of local and regional talent with opportunities to reveal their talent to a wider audience. The Festival showcases both professional and amateur performers and the varied musical genres they represent. In the space of a few hours (and within a few blocks) a listener can hear bluegrass, folk music,jazz,country, rock & roll, classical, and world music, including Middle Eastern, Klezmer, Asian and Celtic. There remains a consistent effort to showcase all our area's ethnic groups as well as the area's younger musicians. Our Teen Stage has included a good cross section of our talented youth. There was an expansive children's area that included two large inflatable play areas as well as participatory games, storytelling, and music. The Scrap Exchange will be providing materials and trained staff to supply a fun, educational,hands-on creative arts experience. They help children transform clean, reusable industrial discards into inventions for science, hats and costumes for plays, games and toys for fun. The festival is an event in which performers provide their services completely free of charge and the event could not go on without their valuable contribution of time and talent, as well as the support of the Town of Carrboro and the community. Each year the number of musicians wishing to perform has increased. Last year's event featured 180 performances at 25 venues throughout the day ranging from solo singer-songwriters to a 20 person Capoeira music and dance troupe. The festival sees an increase in the number of performer applications from outside the area- an indication of the rising profile of the festival. There is also an increase in the number of well-known professional musicians who are willing to perform for free, as the event is seen as a way of giving back to the community. The 2011 event featured an area at the Town Commons where local artisans and crafts people will display and sell their handy-works. Additionally there were information tables for many area non-profits and community-based organizations. A serious effort is being made to widen the event's scope to promote an awareness of different aspects of our community fabric. The overall intent is to foster both a thriving artistic community and a vibrant and well-informed social environment. The past few years have seen an estimated attendance of between 8,000 and 10,000. The festival serves to reinforce the area's reputation for support of music and the arts, while providing positive economic impact to area restaurants, businesses, and social organizations. The bulk of the patrons in attendance have always been primarily from the immediate area, but we are also seeing the benefits of visitors from many different points on The East Coast. The day long, free festival features all styles of music at numerous outdoor and indoor venues including The Cat's Cradle, The Open Eye Cafe, Weaver Street Market, The Century Center, Armadillo Grill, The Music Loft, The ArtsCenter and the Town Commons. The Carrboro/Chapel Hill area is very rich with musical talent,but the number of performance venues is limited. Falling on the last Sunday in September, it is designed to provide the wealth of local and regional talent with opportunities for exposure to wider audiences. It showcases both professional and amateur performers and the varied musical styles they represent. In the space of a few hours (and within a few blocks) a listener can hear bluegrass, folk,jazz, country,rock &roll, soul, classical and world music, including Balkan, Klezmer, and Celtic. The festival is an event in which performers provide their services completely free of charge and the event could not go on without their contribution of time and talent as well as the support of the community. Each year the number of musicians wishing to perform has increased. The 2010 event featured 180 performances (at 25 venues)that ranged from solo singer songwriters to a 20 piece concert band. There are an increased number of performer applications from teen musicians and a separate stage was created to showcase the area's younger talent. There is also an increase in the number of professional musicians who are willing to perform for free, as a way to give back to the community. The Town Commons features a Castle Bounce House, a Scramble Slide and a variety of kid's activities including the arts and crafts of The Scrap Exchange. Specialty food and craft vendors fill the lawn in front of Town Hall. A free shuttle runs between Carrboro Plaza's Park and Ride Area and downtown Carrboro between noon and 8:00 PM. The Carrboro Music Festival draws an estimated 8,000- 10,000 visitors from the Triangle and beyond. The festival serves to reinforce the area's reputation for support of music and the arts and provides a boon to area restaurants and businesses. Music Festival Biographies Some of the musicians who played their first Carrboro Music Festival in 2011: William D.Burton- Armadillo Grill; 3:00-Burton's friendly manner eases the mood into jazz and blues while his warm ebullience adds just the personality that his often humorous folk and jazz songs require. WDB holds the distinction of having performed at a private party for Cat Stevens at the London Bar& Grill. When the Late Muddy Waters saw WDB receive a standing ovation and an encore while opening for him at Ohio State University, he commented "William D. Burton had them jumping!" Neuse River Flute Circle- Balanced Movement Studio; 5:00- The Neuse River Flute Circle was founded in 2005 to promote the continuation of the indigenous flutes of North America and support those who want to expand their abilities to play these instruments and learn about the body of music associated with them. They encourage the makers and the making of American Indian style flutes and provide a venue for sharing music and music resources with those interested in indigenous flutes. They cultivate interest in the "Native American Flute" and in American Indian flute music through educational outreach programs,performances, and scholarly research. Scarlet Virginia- Cat's Cradle; 3:30- Scarlet Virginia has secrets. Front porch backwoods summer evening muse secrets. The kind that lingers on in the air long after the fireflies have gone and the distant highway noise settles down for the night. The kind that make you feel happy and sad and contrite and whimsically optimistic all at the same time because somewhere deep into that thick Southern American night seep the ghosts ...of what might have been and what may never be. N.0 Saxophone Ensemble- Century Center; 2:00-The NCSE is an all volunteer, non-profit ensemble whose membership includes both professional and advanced amateur players. The repertoire includes transcriptions of orchestral and woodwind works, traditional songs,jazz, rags, marches and pieces written specifically for the large saxophone ensemble. Justin Johnson-Fleet Feet Corporate Office Building; 3:00- Justin Johnson is an award-winning blues guitarist, who has enjoyed a decade of professional experience,both as.a performing and studio musician, and has offered over 2500 professional performances to date as lead guitarist or solo guitar instrumentalist. He has also released 9 albums thus far: 5 as principal collaborator, and 4 as solo artist. With a style firmly rooted in Blues tradition, but not afraid to break new ground, Justin's unique sound is the direct result of his passion for combining and advancing widely varying musical forms. The Vagabond Union-Looking Glass Cafe; 1:00- The Vagabond Union is an alt rock band based in the Carolinas consisting of Dave Hedeman, John Kenney, Dave Cannon and G. Malin Wagnon. Hedeman and Kenney met in college, and have since shared a mutual respect while pursuing other musical endeavors. Hedeman was the frontman for the southern rock band PuddleDuck, and Kenney and Cannon were the lead guitar player and drummer for the rock band Rotoglow. Steph Stewart and the Boyfriends- Open Eye Caf6; 7:00- Fronted by budding songwriter Steph Stewart and long-time musician Tim Stambaugh (dobro, banjo,bouzouki), Steph Stewart &the Boyfriends is a duo, sometimes trio, formed by a chance jam session at a local farm's annual harvest festival. Drawn together by a collective musical intuition, the two began collaborating on Steph's original tunes, with Tim's traditional back-porch style accompaniment weaving expertly through Steph's haunting melodies. Raw Dog-Auto Logic/Peck& Artisans/Carrboro Music; 4:15 -Raw Dog has been bizarre right from the get-go. Combining crudely funny acoustic guitar/vocal songs with the laid-back beauty of trip-hop and the weirdness of psychedelia,this band has become a sonic mutt puppy. Most of the time, their recordings are purely improvisational. Big D, their guitarist/engineer would hit 'record' and they would just play whatever came to mind. Straight 8s-Tyler's parking Lot; 2:00-The Straight 8s have worked hard for over a decade to write, record, and perform music that resonates with listeners drawn to the raw energy embodied in traditional rock-a-billy music. While the band has earned a solid reputation for their live shows, it is the creative process that drives founding member Robert Striegler. With two full- length records of original material,the Straight 8s are clearly not content with being a glorified cover-band or nostalgia act. No doubt the band will continue to evolve going forward. Faced with the choice of"adapt or die",The Straight 8s choose "adapt and work harder". Hindugrass-Weaver St. Market; 1:15-Hindugrass was formed in 1998 as an acoustic vehicle for the exploration of commonalties between classical and folk music of Northern India, and the folk and bluegrass styles of the Southeastern U.S. In this endeavor, Hindugrass has attempted to develop its own artistic voice which shares the highly emotive and rhythmically complex qualities common to these geographically distant styles. Using as a point of departure melodic and rhythmic structures from the ragas of Hindustan and songs from the Appalachian tradition, the group is finding a middle ground which reflects their diverse influences and experience. SAD Magazine-WCOM; 3:15- SAD Magazine are Andrew Snee and Robert Graham,both guitarists and songwriters. Andrew currently plays in the Durham-based band Sea Cow. Robert has played in a number of Triangle bands since the mid-80's; most recently, the grunge-pop outfit Three Piece Suit. Their music recalls a three-way collision of Elvis Costello,Neil Young, and Richard Thompson: equal parts plaintive lyricism and guitar dynamics. Radar's Clowns of Sedation; Fifth Season; 4:00- Free-floating ensemble of local talent crystallizing the original songs of ex-pat Brit P.T.Pawsey and featuring the songwriting talents of Penne Sandbeck and Jesse Jordan. Favorite stomping grounds include The Cave in Chapel Hill, The Blue Bayou Club in Hillsborough, Dain's Place in Durham,The Station in Carrboro, Slim's in Raleigh, Clay Street Tavern in Mebane, Jack Sprat's in Chapel Hill, and many others. Lost Nomads-WCOM; 5:15-The Lost Nomads are a Middle Eastern music ensemble playing traditional and modern music from Turkey, Armenia, Macedonia, and beyond. They have played at a number of venues around central North Carolina including museums, haflas, and festivals. Their music is also featured on the belly dance instructional DVDs "Foundations of Raqs Sharqi: Technique and Isolations for Belly Dance Level 1" and "Fabulous FanveilZZ Volume 2". Bulltown Strutters- Town Commons; 6:00-Bulltown Strutters is a community parade band, inspired by street band traditions from New Orleans. Bulltown Strutters was born in September of 2010 when Mark Donelly of Hillsborough Arts Council asked Cathy Kielar if she could get together a percussion band for the Oct 2010 Hillsborough Handmade Parade. Cathy responded with " I think I can do better than that." Cathy then enlisted her clarinet-playing husband, Blaise Kielar, and Blaise contacted his horn playing friends. They play music that is ripe for butt shaking, smile making, shake and boogie music. Diali Cissohko & Kairaba!- Town Commons; 1:00- Diali Cissokho&Kairaba! is composed of Senegalese griot musician Diali Keba Cissokho, with North Carolinians John Westmoreland, Jonathan Henderson, Austin McCall and Will Ridenour. The band formed after Diali moved to North Carolina and began to look for musicians who shared his love and passion for creating music based on Manding tradition, flavored with local and personal styles. The outcome of this collaboration is an infectious sound reminiscent of West African dance bands full of unison melody, adventurous improvisation, fiery solos and polyrhythmic frameworks. And here are some of our"re ug lars": Tim Smith Band-Weaver Street Market; 6:15- After more than a decade, this North Carolina band formerly called The Jumpstarts is still cooking up a deliciously original blend of great music. Based in traditional 1950s style Jamaican ska and reggae, the group stirs in a heavy helping of jazz with a sampling of gospel and blues. Seasoned with soul and a dash of funk, this concoction really simmers. Like an old family recipe passed along from one generation to the next, the dish of a band only gets better with time. Loose Mood Experiment- ArtsCenter's West End;7:00-The original compositions Gary Duncan creates on the hammered dulcimer are founded in rhythm as much as in melody and reflect his percussive background. His live performances in North Carolina in small venues and music festivals are enthusiastically and warmly received. Big Fat Gap- Fifth Season Gardening; 6:00- Big Fat Gap is a back porch bluegrass band that has no plans to take Nashville by storm. Some of them even have day jobs. They just like to pick, they like each other, and it shows. Their shows are known to be excellent for those who enjoy sweet three part harmonies, smoking solos, and captivating stage dynamics. Their fun performances bring loyal fans back for more They are Miles Andrews on lead vocals and Bass, Rick Hauchman on mandolin & vocals, Andy Thorn on banjo,Bobby Britt on fiddle and Jamie Griggs on Guitar. Tony Galiani Band- ArtsCenter's Wynn Theater; 5:00-The Tony Galiani Band plays a variety of jazz styles with an emphasis on improvisation and interplay among the group members. Their repertoire features a variety of jazz styles and arrangements which allow the band to stretch out on each tune. The band features Mietek Glinkowski on violin and Doug Norton on piano. Bill Hayes may play drums and Tony Galiani on bass. Great Big Gone-Weaver Street Market; 4:15-Great Big Gone is a group of Triangle music veterans brought together by a passion for the many facets of American roots music. Their repertoire is a carefully-crafted amalgam of styles from electrified porch picking and honky tonk to blues to Western Swing to roots rock, consisting primarily of original compositions. The result is a tasty mix of sharp songwriting, three-part harmonies and a classic Americana musical palette. Brian and Mary Lewis-Balloons &Tunes/Framer's Comer; 3:00-Brian and Mary Lewis are a vocals-and-acoustic instruments duo based in Durham, who play music from an era that has been all but forgotten in the current wave of market-driven, made-for-television country acts. Audiences can expect a variety of styles of songs sung in close harmony, with a repertoire drawn from the 1930s, '40s and '50s along with songs from more contemporary sources. A typical performance includes "brother duets" from the '30s and '40s and honky tonk music from the '40s and '50s, as well as old-time,bluegrass and even Tex-Mex selections—just to keep things lively. Saludos Compay-Tyler's Parking Lot; 8:00-They take the audience on a musical tour that features traditional, contemporary, and original music from Latin America and the Caribbean. This amazingly versatile trio keeps toes tapping. Lead vocalist/guitarist Pablo Valencia, from Chile, sings a wide range of styles. He is as much at ease with a reflective bolero as with an upbeat salsa. The group performs a number of Valencia's acclaimed original compositions, such as the romantic Cancion Para Dos, the rumba Bello Amor, and the very upbeat salsa song Entumido. On keyboards, Erich Lieth adds spice to the strong Latin rhythms with improvisational piano solos and bass. Chuck Nolan, lead percussionist, intricately weaves the rhythm patterns, be it for a subtle bossa nova or a danceable cumbia. See No Weevil-Weaver Street Market; 5:15- See No Weevil is a funky little trio that delivers an infectious (infectious?)mix of eclectic music, most of it with a blues and R&B flavor. Some are originals, the others mostly reinterpretations of other tunes that never made a chart. In short,the band plays a lot of danceable tunes you haven't heard before, but'll want to hear again. The trio is John Soady on guitar and (if the fancy seizes him), lap steel, Brunson Hoole on drums and percussion and Jeff Elliott on bass guitar and (when strung out,so to speak) upright bass. Magnolia Klezrner Band- ArtsCenter's Wynn Theater; 3:00-agnolia's unique sound comes from the mingling of musicians with roots in a panorama of musical traditions: Klezmer,Balkan, Jazz, brass band, polka, and classical. The band continues to expand its repertoire: most recently with additions from Vaudeville and from the world of Russian cabaret music. Now twelve years old, MKB numbers 12 -15 regular members who perform in the 'industrial strength' concert band. Smaller subgroups, from 5 to 8 in number play for weddings,bar-bat mitzvahs, parties, benefits, and other celebrations. Viva la Venus! —RBC Bank; 3:00- Viva la Venus is a four-piece touring and recording act. The live show combines powerful vocal harmonies with the gritty chug of guitars along with a sexy stage presence, taking the audience on a musical rollercoaster ride. Along with being featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Raleigh's Live and Local TV, the track "Mystery" was featured in two episodes of the cable television series, Strong Medicine, on the Lifetime Network. The debut CD release, The Never Ending Mending Story(Shiny Pants Records), has received wide critical acclaim. The second release, Forget the Fairy Tale was released in 2005 and was selected as one of the Top 25 CD's of 2006 by indiemusic.com. Barrowburn-Looking Glass Cafe; 6:00-Barrowburn is a Raleigh,NC based band presenting traditional Celtic music on acoustic instruments for dances,public performances, group meetings, and private engagements throughout North Carolina. Barrowburn prides itself in its versatility. They are equally at home ripping through a set of jigs or reels as they are rendering the simple beauty of a slow air or lament. They perform both legacy and contemporary ballads from the tradition as well as comical pub songs that are best accompanied by a swinging pint of Guinness. In concert, they demonstrate their love for Celtic music,but do so from an American perspective. Skeedaddle- Century Center; 7:00- Skeedaddle is a six piece acoustic string band that plays 20s and 30s swing, Hawaiian,jump blues,jug band and other roots Americana music with the intensity of a vaudevillian volleyball troupe. They perform all manner of Americana roots music, including pre-war swing,jug band music,jump blues, Dixieland,rockabilly, old time, Hawaiian and hokum. It is music to help you snatch wigs, hit jugs,bang gongs,vipe, flip, vout and orootie. Off The Road Band- RBC Bank; 1:00-The Off the Road Band is exactly that, traveling the side tracks and byways of American music-a unique blend of many styles, including blues,bluegrass, jug band and good old rock and roll. And though you might occasionally hear an unusual arrangement of a classic tune, most of the band's offerings are its own original compositions.

More than 180 music acts of nearly every genre imaginable were scattered among 25 venues, providing a soundtrack to an afternoon : of dancing, noshing, hula- hooping and relaxation. David Tillery spun around his wife, Lori, on a makeshift dance floor outside Weaver Street Market to the sounds of See No Weevil, an eclectic blues group. The couple makes a point to come to the free festival every year, Lori said. "There's a great variety of http://www.heraldsun.com/printer—friendly/I 5670805 10/5/2011 Carrboro Music Festival draws crowd Page 2 of 3 music, and you can do as much as you want in terms of music," added her husband. "It's like a live sampler." Next door at Southern Rail, friends Meg Van Voorhis and Meital Stavitsky were at their fourth stop of the afternoon, soaking in the tunes of folk rocker Sherry Lea. "We haven't stuck around in one place," Stavitsky said. "We want to hear as much as we can." Van Voorhis, who's a teacher at Carrboro Elementary School, wanted to come to see a friend of a friend play at Jessee's and "take advantage of my own neighborhood." "There's definitely a community feeling," she said of the festival. "I like that you see a combination of families, college students, dogs and whoever happens to be around." The festival took root in 1998 as part of the French celebration Fete de is Musique, held on the summer solstice. In 2002, the festival was pushed to the typically cooler month September and became known by its current name. The town-sponsored festival is organized by a committee of volunteers, headed for the 10th year by Gerry Williams, and Kim Andrews, recreation supervisor with the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department. "We have such a great local talent pool of musicians, and we want to offer up something great so that people can come out and enjoy free music," Andrews explained. This year's music acts ranged from solo folk singers to a 20- piece jazz orchestra, playing in such indoor venues as the ArtsCenter and Armadillo Grill and outdoor spots like the Tyler's Taproom parking lot and the patio of Milltown. http://www.heraldsun.com/printer_friendly/15670805 10/5/2011 Carrboro Music Festival draws crowd Page 3 of 3 All of the bands play for free, but they do get some "great exposure" with an estimated 8,000-10,000 people in attendance, she said.
