The second performance of the evening comes to us from the Spiritual Mountain Shrymp himself, Frank Hurricane. Stove Works is grateful to the Holy Mountain to have Frank round up his tour here in our courtyard. Will be a beautiful trip, no doubt.
“The positivity that spins throughout Life is Spiritual oozes an off-kilter charm . . . Honestly, some of the most open-hearted songwriting I’ve heard in a long time.” -NPR Music
“So where, exactly, are we going with this? It’s a question you can’t shake from your mind when you first listen to Frank Hurricane’s hazy Appalachian folk album Life is Spiritual. As you attempt to decipher his off-kilter musings, it eventually becomes clear – you just have to let go. This isn’t a maddening situation, but rather freeing, actually, as you ride shotgun with Hurricane through his whimsical psychedelic trip. And at times, that can get pretty strange man.” -Washington Post
The Concern Newsstand is an e-commerce bookstore (www.theconcernnewsstand.com) based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Originally formed & named in 2017 for the concern of a changing town, in terms of the closing down of independent bookstores, commercialization and a lack of places to buy artist made books & zines, The Concern has pivoted with the times focusing on a range of concerns in its curation. The shop includes art books, zines, some used & rare books and magazines from the US/ UK/ Europe. It also has a publishing arm and serves as the host of a Reading Series of poets bi-monthly in Chapel Hill. It is a curated focus by artist & arts administrator Orvokki Crosby and an experimental business model of sustainability, housed within art spaces (www.attic506.com and www.lumpprojects.org). It is an evolving project.
