SUMMARY:First Draft: A Dialogue On Writing W/ Ben Fountain
DESCRIPTION:First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing\n\n\n\nW/ BEN FOUNTAIN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent @ 6:30 pm / DOORS @ 5:30 pm \n\n\n\nFREE W/ RSVP \n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLIMIT OF 4 RSVP PER PERSONGroup Sales are available to our Business Advocates\, learn more \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent @ 6:30 pm / Doors @ 5:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT FIRST DRAFT: A DIALOGUE ON WRITING\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre: PANEL \n\n\n\nFirst Draft: A Dialogue on Writing is a literary podcast produced and hosted by Mitzi Rapkin. Each week the podcast features an in-depth interview with a fiction\, non-fiction\, essay\, or poetry writer. The show is equal parts investigation into the craft of writing and conversation about the topics of an author’s work. \n\n\n\nABOUT RASPUTIN SWIMS THE POTOMAC \n\n\n\nRasputin Swims the Potomac is a biting satire of American politics and a searingly intelligent novel about the cruel absurdities of contemporary life\, centering on a world champion professional wrestler with presidential ambitions. Reporter Clarence Thomas Jr. is looking for a great story\, former country music teen star Faith Spack has parlayed her fame into a job at the White House\, and the two-term incumbent president is campaigning for a constitutionally dubious third term. After an outbreak at a campaign rally\, a mysterious new pandemic of “weeping sickness” sweeps the nation\, threatening the president’s hold on the Oval Office. Desperate to retain power\, he enlists the mystical pro wrestler Rasputin to help ensure his reelection and guarantee additional seasons of his presidential reality TV show\, The Real West Wing. But as Rasputin’s appeal threatens to exceed the president’s\, and the wrestler’s supposedly supernatural powers start to seem like the real thing\, the campaign finds itself trapped in a spandex-clad destiny no number of executive orders can control\, one in which both Clarence and Faith are compelled to play increasingly large parts. Hilarious\, compelling\, and tragically relevant\, the novel is both an escape and a warning\, a scathing satire that explores the twists and turns of American democracy as it hurtles toward authoritarianism. \n\n\n\nABOUT BEN FOUNTAIN \n\n\n\nBen Fountain is the author of several works of fiction and nonfiction including the award winning Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk\, which won the National Book Critic’ Circle Award for Fiction. Some of his other work include Brief Encounters with Che Guevera\, Beautiful Country Burn Again\, and Devil Makes Three. His work has received the PEN/Hemingway Award\, the Los Angeles Book Prize for Fiction\, and a Whiting Writers Award\, and has been a finalist for the National Book Award and runner-up for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives in North Carolina. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Ben Fountain: WEBSITE \n\n\n\nABOUT MITZI RAPKIN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMitzi Rapkin is the founder\, host and producer of the literary podcast\, “First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing\,” which features a new author interview each week. She has interviewed more than 500 contemporary writers of fiction\, nonfiction\, essays\, and poetry over the past eleven years. Her conversations explore essential questions about what it means to be human alongside the craft of writing and the themes of the writers’ works. Rapkin is also a journalist\, fiction writer\, certified integral coach\, facilitator\, and fiction-writing instructor.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about / Listen to First Draft: WEBSITE  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT @ 6:30 pm / DOORS @ 5:30 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

SUMMARY:Building Better Relationships With Nature With Emma Marris
DESCRIPTION:Building Better Relationships With Nature With Emma Marris\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM @ 7:00PM / DOORS @ 6:30PM \n\n\n\nGENERAL ADMISSION $20 \n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ROARING FORK OUTDOOR VOLUNTEERSLIMIT OF 4 TICKETS PER PURCHASER \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH NATURE WITH EMMA MARRIS\n\n\n\nGENRE: PRESENTATION + Q+A \n\n\n\nHumans have done a lot of damage to the environment\, but we can also be a force for good. Some ecosystems need ongoing care and stewardship to thrive\, especially in a warming world. This talk will suggest how a perspective shift from saving nature from humans to improving human relationships with other species can enlarge our thinking\, make new approaches possible\, and create an energizing space for mutual human-nonhuman flourishing. \n\n\n\nABOUT EMMA MARRIS  \n\n\n\nEmma Marris grew up in Seattle\, WA\, and while she has lived all over\, she eventually ended up in Portland\, Oregon\, just a few hours away from her hometown. What can she say? She missed the moss. \n\n\n\nEmma has been writing about the environment for over 20 years\, beginning as a staffer at the journal Nature and eventually freelancing for National Geographic\, Wired\, the Atlantic\, Nature\, the New York Times\, among others—as well as writing two popular science books\, Rambunctious Garden (2011) and Wild Souls (2021). She has a Master’s in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins\, 2004. \n\n\n\nEmma has written several peer-reviewed papers for environmental ethics and conservation science journals and contributed to scholarly edited volumes. Her core interest is in human relationships with the nonhuman world\, but she has also written about music\, film\, and even true crime. \n\n\n\nEmma believes in hope\, and she believes that good futures are still available to us. Imagining those good futures and writing towards them is her life’s work. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT EMMAR MARRIS: WEBSITE \n\n\n\nABOUT ROARING FORK OUTDOOR VOLUNTEERS \n\n\n\nFounded in 1995\, Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers aims to foster a diverse and engaged community of outdoor stewards working collectively for the benefit of our public lands. RFOV connects people to the land and each other through hands-on conservation projects and education programs. Much more than just a “trails group\,” the organization strives to create an enduring positive impact across the region\, conserving the iconic landscapes we all cherish and uplifting local communities. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT ROARING FORK OUTDOOR VOLUNTEERS: WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open @ 6:30pm / Program @ 7:00pm\n\n\n\nSeated Show / All Ages\n\n\n\nLocation: TACAW\, 400 Robinson St\, Basalt\, CO 81621\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: TACAW & in Partnership with Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers

As he puts it\, “When a song written by a stranger heals you\, even in the smallest way\, that’s a connection beyond entertainment.” \n\n\n\nAndrew has shared stages with Guster\, Blind Pilot\, and Amos Lee\, among others\, and has performed at major festivals across the US including New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, Milwaukee Summerfest\, Bonnaroo\, and Americanafest. \n\n\n\nHis music has been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine\, Jam In The Van\, Meat Church\, as well as in Glide Magazine\, No Depression\, and American Songwriter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS ON SALE 5/8 @ 10 AM\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open @ 7:00pm / Show @ 8:00pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW | 21+ VALID PHOTO ID REQUIRED\n\n\n\nLocation: TACAW\, 400 Robinson St\, Basalt\, CO 81621\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: TACAW

Whether that’s through incisive lyrics or a sound they crafted that’s become mainstream\, the group of troubadours has been steadfast in their truth. On the band’s upcoming album\, titled Country Sides\, The Band of Heathens takes a look back at their career with gratitude and great satisfaction. \n\n\n\nFormed in 2005\, the Heathens broke into the public consciousness in 2009 with their heartfelt blend of country and rock\, including memorable performances at Austin City Limits on PBS and the Austin City Limits Festival. Since then\, members have come and gone\, but principal songwriters Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist give the band its collective focus and provide the DNA to the songs beloved by folks around the globe. \n\n\n\nFor a band that’s accomplished so much and on their own terms\, the approach for this album was natural and felt right. The themes addressed on this album\, such as the reflective\, contemplative nature of the lyrical matter\, led to questions like “What’s next?” As always\, The Band of Heathens is debating what that future looks like. It certainly includes more music and touring. But\, in what fashion? Not even they know. That said\, their music continues to live on. Look no further than the success of 2011’s “Hurricane. Nearly 15 years later\, the song went gold and has since been certified platinum\, showcasing the band’s resonant sound. And\, at this point in their career\, they’re perfectly content with what they’re doing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open for show @ 7:00pm / Show @ 8:00pm\n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM | 18+ VALID PHOTO ID REQUIRED\n\n\n\nLocation: TACAW\, 400 Robinson St\, Basalt\, CO 81621\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: TACAW

The show is equal parts investigation into the craft of writing and conversation about the topics of an author’s work. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE WRECK OF THE MENTOR \n\n\n\nThe Wreck of the Mentor is the story of the American whaleship Mentor\, wrecked in 1832 on a remote reef in the western Pacific. With supplies dwindling\, the eleven surviving crewmen face not only the miseries of shipwreck in unfamiliar territory but also the profound uncertainty of contact with the Indigenous people of the Micronesian archipelago of Palau\, who within days approach the deserted men brandishing axes\, clubs\, and spears. In this gripping saga of cultural collision\, tribal wars\, and dashed hopes\, award–winning historian Eric Jay Dolin vividly reconstructs the Mentor’s doomed voyage\, the years of perilous captivity\, and the delicate negotiations and fraught naval rescue mission that followed. The Wreck of the Mentor is at once a powerful story of survival and a revealing window into the great Age of Sail―a time when maritime ambition collided with local sovereignty\, and when the outcome of one voyage rippled across oceans and empires. \n\n\n\nABOUT ERIC JAY DOLIN \n\n\n\nEric Jay Dolin is the author of seventeen books\, including Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America; A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America’s Hurricanes and Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution. His newest book coming out in June\, is The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death\, Despair\, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail. Dolin’s books have won many awards including the John Lyman Award for U.S. Maritime History; Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award; and National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Excellence in American History Book Award for Adult Nonfiction among others. Many of his books have been chosen as “must reads” by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. Other honors include being chosen as a finalist for the Kirkus Prize\, and as one of the best books of the year by The Los Angeles Times\, The Boston Globe\, The Washington Post\, Kirkus Reviews\, the Library Journal\, and Booklist.

Scott Fitzgerald issued his classic conclusion that ‘There are no second acts in American lives\,’ he failed to envision the career of legendary Texas troubadour Ray Wylie Hubbard. A willing conspirator in the late seventies Cosmic Cowboy revolt that ushered in the mythical Outlaw era\, Hubbard was a catalyst in the cultural upheaval that led to the peaceful coexistence of Lone Star music enthusiasts who comprised each end of the social and political spectrum of that troubled time. In the stellar company of iconic colleagues like Willie Nelson\, Waylon Jennings\, Doug Sahm and Jerry Jeff Walker\, Ray Wylie Hubbard was an architect of the musical legacy that continues to inspire subsequent generations of up-and-coming Texas talent. \n\n\n\nYes\, Hubbard is a Texas singer-songwriter\, complete with the classic trifurcated handle\, fundamental chapter of the canon in his song catalog (“Redneck Mother”)\, and enough wild hairs in his past to qualify him as a legend. But along the way\, his attention began to leave matters extraneous to his art and soul by the wayside and focus on the beauty and potential to be found in the blank canvas of\, in his case\, the yet to be written and recorded song. The result has been one of the most satisfying musical and lyrical journeys to witness over the last two decades. In the years that followed he evolved into a writer of uncommonly honest portraits of life\, alternately mixing deep personal sagas with poignant character studies of those traveling on the dark side of the road. \n\n\n\n If one wanted to describe the sound of Ray Wylie Hubbard\, one could call it American music\, born from the time honored traditions of folk\, country\, and roots rock.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / 16+ (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

With roots in singer-songwriter\, indie-folk and a sound shaped by soaring harmonies and organic instrumentation\, LVDY crafts songs that feel like home. In unison it is almost unrecognizable who’s who\, and in harmony\, an effortless blend that welcomes the exhale. Their uplifting sound and intimate storytelling weave love anthems in and out of their messages\, with simple yet important reminders that we’re not alone. \n\n\n\nTheir ethereal harmonies\, musical warmth\, and meaningful lyrics find inspiration in the beauty of the outdoors and the threads that weave us together as humans. Though their roots lie in the singer-songwriter realm\, their music is intentionally genre-fluid\, allowing them to adapt their sound to a wide range of audiences\, settings\, and collaborations. \n\n\n\nFormed in 2018\, LVDY has played hundreds of shows across the U.S. & Europe—self-funded\, self-built\, and community-powered. What started as sidewalk busking has evolved into a loyal grassroots community—the LVDYMOB—and an intimate\, high-connection live experience. They have shared stages with the likes of Rising Appalachia\, Dirtwire\, KT Tunstall\, Emily King\, Daniel Rodriguez\, JOSEPH\, Joy Oladokun\, Ayla Nereo\, LÉON\, Emily Scott Robinson\, and Brendan James. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 PM / DOORS @ 7:00 PM\n\n\n\n$35 MEMBER / $40 ADVANCE / $45 DAY OF\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / 18+ VALID PHOTO ID REQUIRED

Born in New England\, based in Bozeman Montana\, singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist Madeline Hawthorne pens the kind of tunes you listen to on a cross-country trek to start anew or in the dead of night when you just need a reminder that somebody’s listening. \n\n\n\nIn this respect\, her 2024 independent album\, Tales From Late Nights & Long Drives\, serves as a fitting soundtrack to life’s trip. \n\n\n\n“It’s the perfect road trip record\,” she affirms. “It was mostly written while I was on tour. If the songs were written at home in Montana\, I took inspiration from journal entries and memories of my travels. This is me stepping onto the stage with more miles under my boots. I’m giving into the moment and the melody to tell a story. It’s like eleven different versions of me—a woman I could have been\, a woman I perhaps thought I was\, and a woman I hope to be someday.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 18+ VALID PHOTO ID REQUIRED\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits
