    Lowell Ringel Group

    Durham · Sharp 9 Gallery, 4608 Industry Ln

    The Lowell Ringel Group featuring David Leon spotlights a bassist, composer, and educator whose work has earned awards and whose approach reflects the tradition of Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro. Expect melodic improvisations paired with a grounded, inventive pulse that anchors the music while leaving room for discovery. After completing both undergraduate and graduate degrees at the Frost School of Music, Ringel immersed himself in Latin jazz and Cuban styles, later performing and recording with artists such as Ignacio Berroa, Aymee Nuviola, Brian Lynch, Shelly Berg, Dafnis Prieto, and Martin Bejerano. As a writer, he brings together jazz sensibility, rhythmic drive, and elements of classical language to create pieces with vivid color. That perspective is captured on the self-titled 2019 release from his chamber jazz quintet Threeplustwo and on Geodesics, the 2020 album by the Finnish American collective Transatlanttiset. He resides in Forest Park, Illinois, and appears frequently around the Chicagoland scene. For this performance, Ringel leads on bass with David Leon on woodwinds, Keith Ganz on guitar, Evan Ringel on trombone, and Jake Richter on drums.

    Boot Juice

    Greensboro · Flat Iron, 221 Summit Ave

    Boot Juice brings a six piece blast of rock and Americana from Northern California, known for high energy shows that get crowds moving. Years of touring and appearances at venues like The Fillmore and Dillon Amphitheater, along with festival sets at Treefort, High Sierra, and Golden Road Gathering, have shaped a stage presence fueled by groove and grit. Their fourth album, Keeping Out Of The Ground, highlights three vocalists, sparks between acoustic and electric guitars, a brassy, rowdy horn section, and rhythms that lean into soul. The set spans dance ready cuts like Hard Time for Hard Times, Slingshot, and Struggles, big rock moments such as Try Again Tomorrow, Rise and Shine, and Boise, and softer swing touched ballads including Anywhere With You, Love From Here, and the title track. Woven through the music is a theme of resilience, showing up for each other, and giving yourself room to try again. Sharing the bill, Folkknot is a seafaring quintet from Greensboro that blends indie, folk, pop, and rock into escapist songs rooted in timeless storytelling. Guided by frontman Grey Hyatt’s vivid writing and clear vision, their eclectic instrumentation creates a lush backdrop that brings each narrative to life.

    Dogwood Tales

    Presented by andmoreagain, this night at Rubies on Five Points in Durham brings together Dogwood Tales with bedrumor. Advance tickets are $15 and $18 on the day of the show. Dogwood Tales, from Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley, is led by longtime friends Kyle Grim and Ben Ryan on guitars and vocals, joined by drummer Jake Golibart and bassist Danny Gibney. Their forthcoming album, Every Star in Rockingham County, reflects small town life with vivid detail, from the personal reflections of “Mt. Jackson” to playful nods in songs like “Princess Peach” and the memories woven through “McMemories.” Their sound blends pedal steel, close harmonies, bright drumlines, tasteful guitar work, and even bits of nostalgic video game texture, creating a mix that feels intimate and expansive at once. Scenes in “Angel Dreams” paint moments as specific as a quiet meal at Southern Kitchen, offering storytelling that feels close to home. Sharing the bill, bedrumor is a Greensboro outfit led by Lazuli Ortiz and Ryan Mole. Their music sits in the indie rock lane with a clear jazz influence, and for live performances they invite additional musicians to bring the arrangements to life. Influences range from Herbie Hancock and King Krule to Big Thief and Ichiko Aoba, and Lazuli produces the project’s recordings at home, the inspiration behind the band’s name.

    Systema Martial Arts: Free Trial Class for Beginners

    Durham · Triangle Aikido, 4603 Hillsborough Rd

    Free

    Experience a free introductory Systema class that presents a holistic approach to training for body and mind. The practice weaves together martial arts principles with breathwork, mindful movement, partner-based release techniques, and meditative elements to build practical self-protection skills. Students develop natural, effective responses while becoming stronger, more flexible, and less weighed down by fear and stress. Training centers on moving with alignment and relaxation rather than excess tension. Through a steady, thoughtful progression, participants build awareness, adaptability, and composure under pressure. The aim goes beyond techniques to the capacity to stay centered and responsive when situations are uncertain. Sessions vary and are never identical, and everyone works at a pace that suits their experience. A typical class begins with breathing, mobility, and conditioning drawn from Russian martial arts to ease mental and physical tension and develop a resilient, adaptable body. Work then moves into rolling and falling, groundwork, and theme-focused movement exercises. NC Systema is an official school of Systema Vasiliev, with instructors who renew certification each year through the headquarters in Toronto.

    An Evening of Tea & Spirits: Messages Beyond the Veil

    Winston-Salem · Oasis at The Mill, 918 Bridge St

    This small, reflective gathering centers on spirit communication as messages emerge during a group mediumship session, then continues with tea, conversation, and light snacks. The medium describes acting as a bridge between those who are living, those who have passed, and those in a middle state. No specific individuals are called upon, as information comes from those who most need to be heard. Messages are guided by need rather than want. In a group setting, not everyone will receive a personal message, and some messages may resonate with more than one attendee. To keep the process clear, participants are asked not to share hoped-for outcomes, names, dates, relationships, or other details in advance, allowing the spirits to speak for themselves. A casual reception to meet and chat follows, with tea and snacks provided by the host. Tickets are $49 per person. Frank Chodl, a psychic medium with international recognition, leads the evening. His books, classes, and seminars draw on decades of paranormal work, research, and teaching. He noticed his abilities at the age of eight and was identified as a deep trance medium by the late Lorraine Warren in 1975. Over the years he has offered numerous accurate, impactful readings that have been observed by psychologists, parapsychologists, and paranormal investigators, serving individuals and groups in private homes, historic inns and hotels, battlefields, and cemeteries. His investigations have taken him to sites around the world, including the Forbidden City in Beijing, Anasazi ruins in Colorado, the ancient site of Pompei in Italy, standing stones and stone circles in the British Isles, slave cells in Ghana, Mayan ruins in the Yucatan, and islands in the Bermuda Triangle.

    Mo Pitney

    Liberty · Liberty Showcase Theater, 101 S Fayetteville St

    Mo Pitney takes the spotlight with a neotraditional country sound shaped by early years on drums and guitar and a formative bluegrass band with his brother. After signing with Curb Records in 2014, he introduced himself with the single Country, co-written with Bill Anderson and Bobby Tomberlin, which earned critics’ praise for its heartfelt simplicity and commitment to classic country themes. Work with producer Tony Brown led to the 2016 album Behind This Guitar, which entered Billboard’s Top Country Albums at number 10 and features standouts such as Country, Boy & a Girl Thing, and Everywhere. Boy & a Girl Thing includes vocals from Morgane Stapleton and showcases his gift for honest, everyday storytelling. His 2020 follow-up, Ain’t Lookin’ Back, created with Jim "Moose" Brown, reflects growth as a performer, father, and writer, bringing in loop pedals and nuanced percussion while exploring family, faith, and faithfulness. From bluegrass circles to the Grand Ole Opry, he carries forward country tradition with unvarnished narratives, enduring melodies, and a calm confidence.
