Jackson County Library welcomes Gary
Carden's Liars Bench show.
Gary Carden,
creator of the Liars Bench, a successful regional authentic,
traditional southern Appalachian storytelling, music, poetry, drama
and folk arts presentation announced that the show will play the
Jackson County Library community room on Friday June 15 at 7:00 pm.
Admission is free.
Guest host Newt Smith will fill in for Gary for this show. Liars Bench regulars Lloyd Arneach, master Cherokee
storyteller; Paul Iarussi, claw-hammer guitar specialist and old-time
music singer; and Karen Barnes, guitar singer-songwriter will play a
'Best of' Liars Bench show. There may be a mystery guest (or
two) also.
During the past year, Carden has
designed and directed a series of shows that dealt with Cherokee
history and culture; religious music, Jack Tales, and myths and
legends. After a show from last October was recently featured on the
regional television program Life in the Carolinas, both the
performers and the staff of the Liars Bench became convinced
that the show should move toward becoming a significant voice in
defining and preserving the region's culture. This decision was
confirmed by the cover story publication in a WNC newspaper recently
of Carden and his creation, The Liars Bench show.
