Advanced tickets are now available for Jeff Hartman with Furry Greene Fox and introducing the Shannon Underwood Project at The Firemen’s Kitchen in Hickory, NC on Saturday, July 25! $8 advance | $10 door | $5 students.
Original music often escapes Hickory venues and events. Jimmy Rhine and Five Head Entertainment in coordination with Hickory Theatre are offering original artists and music lovers alike a novel opportunity to inhale something fresh and early with their Summer Concert Series.
The series continues at The Firemen’s Kitchen on Saturday, July 25th with Jeff Hartman & Friends featuring Furry Greene Fox. Folks will also have an opportunity to catch the debut of the up-and-coming Shannon Underwood Project.
It’s family-friendly and a great place to hear original music before 10 pm. The Firemen’s Kitchen of Hickory Theatre is the closest thing Hickory has to an intimate, non-bar/restaurant, live music concert venue.
“We’ve been on a crusade for some time now to convince music venues to start their music earlier,” Hartman says. “There’s a huge demographic of original music lovers in Catawba and surrounding counties in bed by 10:30! I’m convinced most folks would support more music, more often if artists had an opportunity to perform earlier. Most folks prefer a movie over live music because they can get off work, go out to eat, catch a 7:30 flick, spend time with their family or significant other, and still be in bed at a reasonable hour. There’s a reason most concerts begin at 7:30 or 8 pm. Would you be more likely to go see Fleetwood Mac in concert on a Tuesday night if they started at 7 or 11 pm? The more thought and effort we put into improving and supporting live music at every level, the more likely we are to see results. Only you can support live, original music!”
Jeff Hartman has been touring and promoting original music professionally for over 15 years. Hartman most recently had the privilege of performing for Supreme Court Justice Alito at The Lafayette Room of the Hay-Adams across the street from The White House. The President took residence at the Hay-Adams prior to his inauguration. A published poet and influenced in equal parts by folk and funk artists alike, Jeff’s songs are a mix of “dazed beauty and bitter-sweetness.” Here are tales of abuse and misuse, of vulnerability and resolve, poetic trances like the Appalachia-esque “Erica’s Song” and the biographical “Northern Accent.” Friends include Shannon Underwood, Carol Anne Hartman, Phill Kirby, and Forrest Brown. The Shannon Underwood Project includes members of Jeff’s group and debuts actress Shannon Underwood’s singer/songwriter side in a role few have seen. shannonunderwood.com
Furry Greene Fox sprung out of the backcountry of Hickory in the backyard of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The band consists of Laura Diane Greene and Natasha Fox. Their original music mixes the sounds of the acoustic guitar with banjo, organ, violin, and harmonica.
