Calhoun Times

Acoustic Cafe at Harris Arts Center on Sept. 16

- From Harris Arts Center

Acoustic Cafe is back inperson at the Harris Arts Center for our final performanc­e of the year.

Inspired by The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Acoustic Cafe offers patrons the opportunit­y to hear local talent in a relaxed setting.

Join performers David Bell, Faye Pierce Bentley and Jule Medders as they bring live music to the Harris Arts

Center theater on Thursday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m.

There is a $5 cover charge for those attending in person – tickets will not be sold in advance. Audience members are encouraged to tip the entertainm­ent and a cash bar with beer, wine and snacks will be available.

Calhoun native David Bell is a singer and songwriter who has been playing since the age of thirteen. Bell’s influences include Randy

Newman, Lennon and McCarney, Dylan, Springstee­n, Hank Williams, elvis Costello, Paul Simon and Neil Young.

For twenty-two years, Bell played with a band called the Dirt Dobbers. The band spent time in Nashville in the early 90s, but only long enough to record two albums. More recently, Bell teamed up with Tim Bowen to form Thunderbol­t Patterson.

Faye Pierce Bentley and her husband Ron are Red Bud natives and have been writing and playing music together since their teenage years. Faye and Ron have played shows with several world famous acts including Brad Paisley and Merle Haggard. The music they write speaks for itself but Faye’s voice, intertwine­d with Ron’s unique style of playing guitar, seems to lift the lyrics to new heights.

Jule Medders is an awarded American songwriter from Resaca, Georgia. Jule has written songs for worldwide recording artists such as Billy Dean, Bryan White and Diamond Rio. With roots deeply embedded on the battlefiel­ds of Resaca, it’s no wonder that Jule can dig so deep into the lyrical well that is his mind.

For those unable to attend in person, this program will be presented Live on the Harris Arts Center’s Facebook/ Instagram pages. There will be no cover charge for the virtual event, but viewers will have the option to leave a donation to the performers through our PayPal virtual tip jar.

In considerat­ion of the current coronaviru­s outbreak in our community, all individual­s are asked to please wear a mask while visiting the Harris Arts Center, regardless of a guest’s vaccinatio­n status.
