The Clayton Historical Association Presents an Afternoon of Bill Leslie’s Music
Morganton, NC native and UNC at Chapel Hill graduate Bill Leslie, is a Tarheel through and through. Not only a talented story-teller as a WRAL-TV5 news anchor, Bill is a world-class musician, praised by Yo-Yo Ma as “one of the greats in modern Celtic Music.”
When Yo-Yo Ma talks about you, people listen.
The Clayton Historical Association is presenting an afternoon of Bill’s music, with a cultural event called “Tarheel Tales and Tunes”, to be held at The Clayton Center, (111 East 2nd Street, in downtown Clayton, NC) on June 1, 2008 at 3pm.
This special event will include selections from Bill’s recently finished album Blue Ridge Reunion – a CD and companion book project available this fall. For this project, Bill revisited his late father’s favorite mountain vistas that inspired his father’s watercolors. Bill drew musical inspiration from these same vistas for his new songs. The companion book will feature the late William Leslie’s Blue Ridge paintings, along with Bill’s narratives.
Tickets for this event are $15 (General Admission), $10 (CHA members), and $8 (Children under 12) and are available at the Clayton Center box office at (919) 553-1737, online at www.theclaytoncenter.org, or by contacting the Clayton Historical Association at claytonNChistory@gmail.com
Proceeds from this event go to the Clayton Historical Association (CHA). The mission of the CHA is to preserve and share the history of Clayton and to recognize and preserve the historic properties of Clayton. The Clayton Historical Association is funded in part by the Town of Clayton Cultural Arts Fund. To find out more about the CHA, visit them on the web.
