Home Grown: Magic Number: Third Annual Shenandoah Fringe Fest and Butterfly Vendetta’s Third Album

Home Grown: Your Show about Local Art

Today on Home Grown, David and Leslie both have been pulled away, so we bring in the big guns with guest host Chris Baumer. As far as our guests are concerned, the third time’s a charm with one of our favorite people, Carmel Clavin, Staunton’s Empress Empressaria. It’s time for her and her crew to start collecting artist submissions for the Third Annual Shenandoah Fringe Festival. We talk to her about how the Fringe Fest has gone in the past three years and maybe get her to drop a few bon mots about art and culture. Then … we rock out with Bianca Vee and David D from Butterfly Vendetta. Their third album Loud and Clear is out. We play a couple of songs from it and talk about their writing process. Three is definitely a magic number on this week’s Home Grown: Your Show about Local Art.

Home Grown: Eventful: Mock Stars Ball and VA Burlesque & Sideshow Fest

Home Grown: Your Show about Local Art

Today on Home Grown our man David is A.W.O.L. leaving us with the great Leslie M. Scott-Jones and the less than adequate Clinton Johnston. Fortunately, they’ve got great guests. First it’s the power duo of Danny Shea, Event Booker from The Southern Cafe and Music Hall as well as The Jefferson Theater and Kat Dillon, Events Coordinator for The Shelter for Help in Emergency. They’re here to talk about the 2017 Mock Stars Ball and how it’s the first Mock Stars Ball to be a benefit. That’s right. You can go to the best costume party around and also be donating money to S.H.E. in honor of Whitney French. Next, producing powerhouse Carmel Clavin returns to the show to bring the good news! The Virginia Burlesque and Sideshow Fest is coming to The Kettle in Staunton! Hear Carmel talk about how small towns deserve good art as well as cities — music to our ears. Art producers and presenters need love too, and they get that love here on Home Grown: Your Show about Local Art.
