The Gravy Boys Set to Perform

Mix a pinch of rock, a handful of honky-tonk and a splash of bluegrass and you’ve got The Gravy Boys. Their acoustic repertoire blends heartfelt harmonies, terrific storytelling and a lively stage presence that leaves audiences laughing and loving every minute of this high spirited performance.

A free performance presented by the Pamlico Musical Society will be held at 7pm on Saturday, June 22 at Lou Mac Park in Oriental. Pack a picnic, grab a blanket or a couple of chairs and get ready to welcome summer on the shores of the Neuse River.

In the event of rain, The Gravy Boys will perform at the Old Theater.

Hailing from Raleigh/Durham, the band includes Steve Storms on guitar, dobro and vocals; Steve Celestini on vocals and harmonica; Bill Spagnardi on mandolin, vocals and percussion; Joe Spagnardi on guitar and vocals; and Tom Spagnardi on Doghouse, bass and vocals.

The group performs acoustic Americana music that draws deep from the well of our country’s diverse musical heritage. Their high energy shows feature heartfelt vocal harmonies, boot-stomping rhythms, lively stage banter and honest musicianship. The Gravy Boys are story tellers who spin their

tales through tight, brother-duet vocals over a vintage acoustic backdrop. They take classic American themes and bring them into the present day, with an authentic passion that resonates with all who listen.

Together, they serve up a hearty stew of Americana music and put on a show that one Raleigh Music Industry Association critic describes as “laid-back to fierce, a dynamic set to keep any crowd on its toes.” Indy Week raves, “Their instruments sound like old friends talking,” and one can bet that after this concert, The Gravy Boys will discover some new friends in Oriental.

They have released 3 CDs of original music, including “Crackerjack Whistle” (2012), “Dust Bowl Lover” (2009) and “Workin’ the Angels for Handouts” (2007). The album “Crackerjack Whistle” features 15 songs that demonstrate their growth as a band, in addition to offering a heaping helping of great music.

Brewery Opens Doors in Trenton

A landmark for Trenton is open for business as The Beer Army Combat Brewery recently opened the doors to its 10,500 square foot facility. Active duty Marine Maj. Dustin Canestorp owns the Combat Brewery and has been working toward this dream since 2008. The brewery is expected to generate $2.7 million of economic impact in Trenton and surrounding areas over the next five years.

Trenton hasn’t seen much industrial growth in the past and with a population of 287 people, according to the 2010 census, the Beer Army Combat Brewery will make a huge impact on the community. Proceeds from some of the flagship beers will go to the local volunteer fire departments and to Brocks Mill, a local historical landmark.

To date, Beer Army has donated more than

New Bern Magazine

County officials were in attendance for the ceremony on Friday, April 19, and the general public was invited to come out and taste some free samples of beer.

In a place where boats outnumber its residents nearly three to one, the town of Oriental is a sailor’s refuge tucked away along the Neuse River, which oddly enough, earned its named from a Union Steamship that sank 33 miles north of Hatteras, near Bodie Island. The wife of Oriental’s founder and first postmaster, Lou Midyette, is said to have seen the transom of the vessel displayed years later at a home in Manteo and found it to be the ideal name for their little waterside hamlet.

Boats are not just a part of Oriental’s history, they define it. Labeled the sailing capital of North Carolina, it’s common to find residents and visitors kayaking, fishing and sailing year round. Nearly 5-6,000 sailors come in to port each year from the Intracoastal Waterway, many for the collection of regattas held throughout the year.

The town boasts a plethora of activities, a wealth of award-winning artisans, an active music scene, a theater group and a thriving community spirit.

The year-round ferry, which carries 30 cars, docks at Minnesott Beach, just 10 miles from Oriental, making it accessible to points east and west.

Nestled along Hwy 70 between Morehead City and New Bern, Havelock is best known as the home of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, now the largest air station in the world. From its landmark Harrier plane propped up halfway through town to the thundering sounds

of passing jets, there is no mistaking the presence and effect the air station has on Havelock’s visitors and residents.

A small community started in the mid-1800s, Havelock grew, in part, because of the union between Atlantic and North Carolina railroads. A depot was built at the crossing and named after British Gen. Henry Havelock.

The 1940s and World War II brought with them MCAS Cherry Point and Havelock’s population exploded, from about 100 to approximately 22,500 people.

Havelock enjoys visitors year round, with annual events like its NC Chili Festival and the Cherry Point Air Show, held each year in June, and natural attractions such as the Croatan National Forest and Neuse River. To learn more about Havelock, visit cityofhavelock.com.

Exploring Tucked away on the banks of the Neuse River, the city of New Bern offers the comforts of a modern riverside city with a historic tradition that dates back to Colonial times. In 1710, Swiss baron Christopher de Graffenried founded New Bern as the second-oldest town in North Carolina, naming the city after Bern, the Swiss capital. The bear proudly displayed throughout the city comes from the Swiss city’s name, taken from the German word “bären” or “bears.”

While providing shopping and dining experiences on par with other major cities, New Bern maintains the spirit and feel of a small town. Visitors can explore 150 historic landmarks, many of which date back to the 18th century. The revitalized historic district offers visitors a variety of shops, galleries, restaurants and historic homes.

Tryon Palace is one of New Bern’s most popular historic sites. Completed in 1770, Tryon Palace was built by British Governor William Tryon and served as the capital building in the later 1700s when New Bern was North Carolina’s capital. Tryon Palace hosted many famous people, including George

Washington.

New Bern is also famed for a late 1800s pharmacist named Caleb Bradham. Bradham mixed syrup of coca, kola nut extracts and rare oils with carbonated water to create the fizzy beverage known today as Pepsi Cola.

African-American Lecture

Food plays a part in every major event, from the beginning of life to the end. When someone is born, people celebrate with food at the baby shower. During most major holidays, the preparation of a big feast is expected. During a wedding, the bride spends as much time and money on the bridal gown as the wedding cake. Join the folks at the NC History Center at 7pm on Thursday, June 2 for this special African-American lecture titled “Sunday Family Dinner: Who Made the Potato Salad?”

Food is such a major part of Quarterly Meeting at church, people look forward to the potluck and call it “Quarterly Eating.” When we hear that someone has died, the first thought is what food can be taken to the family as a source of comfort. In sadness and in celebration, food

plays a major part in every segment of life.

Four skits will explore the important part food plays in African American lives from the funny to the sorrowful to the romantic. EJ Stewart is a native North Carolinian and the daughter of a sharecropper, who has made her name as a successful playwright and storyteller. Antuan Hawkins is a gifted actor and singer currently based in Kinston. Hawkins received a Bachelor of Science in Music with an emphasis in vocal performance from Chowan College. After graduation, Hawkins taught middle school and private music classes. Though dedicated to education, Hawkins missed the exhilaration of live performances and then began balancing performances around work in corporate America.

Admission is free and the event is sponsored by the Harold H. Bate Foundation. For more information, visit www.tryonpalace.org.

ARTS Ballet Co. to Perform

The New Bern Ballet Company invites you to be enchanted and delighted as their young company performs the class ballet, “The Sleeping Beauty” on Sunday, June 2 at Grover C. Fields Middle School in New Bern.

Originally choreographed

by Marius Petipa of the Imperial Ballet, it premiered in St. Petersburg January 15, 1890, with music composed by Peter Tchaikovsky. A long awaited birth of a Princess came to the King and the Queen. All in the kingdom were invited to the fabulous ball celebrating Aurora’s Christening. Fairies were invited from the Fairy realm who brought delightful blessings. But, upset by not being invited to the christening, the wicked fairy Carabosse casts a spell that Aurora will prick her finger and die on her 16th birthday. The Lilac fairy saves Aurora by altering the curse to 100 years of sleep, after which she can be awakened by the kiss of a prince. The Lilac Fairy entrances Prince Florimund with visions of Aurora’s beauty and his kiss awakens her.

The story culminates with a grand wedding celebration.

Tickets are $7.50 and may be purchased online at http://newbernballet.ticketleap.com/nbbco-present-sleeping-beauty/.

Author Discusses New Book

Join author Flora Ann Scearce from noon-3pm on Thursday, June 13 at New Bern-Craven County Public Library for a reading and discussion of her latest book “The Village.”

Her high school yearbook named her class poet, but native North Carolinian Scearce did not begin writing in earnest until the mid 1980s when she retired from First Citizens Bank. Her previous novel, “Cotton Mill Girl,” won the prestigious NC Society of Historians’ Clark Cox Historical Fiction Award, as did her first novel, “Singer of an Empty Day,” All Scearce novels are based on the life of her mother, who also wrote extensively of mountain life, lore, medicine and music, as well as life in a Piedmont cotton mill village, giving her daughter a wealth of material on which to draw.

In “The Village,” rising above the drudgery of cotton mill life and aspiring to something greater, Selena leaves Gastonia with her best friend’s family and struggles to gain acceptance into the lives of the Rosemary 18

New Bern Magazine

villagers. Set in the years between the Great War and the Great Depression, the townsfolk of Rosemary, NC didn’t make it very easy for this ‘mountain hooger’ girl. Join Scearce in her captivating book as she unveils the colorful journey of her mother, Selena, amidst the industrial revolution of the twenties and the societal pressures of her newfound life.

“Once I started “The Village”, I could not put it down. Flora Ann Scearce has a great talent for making the reader feel a part of the story. I think she has another winner in this book,” said Lucy Penegar, vice chairman of Gaston County Historic Preservation Commission.

STORE ARTS Bringing

Artwork

to the Masses

Martin Henry Kampitch of Martin Henry Designs in New Bern has been working in metal for the past 12 years. He started as a jeweler and designed numerous lines each year for craft shows and retail stores. His work consisted of brass and base metals with a mixture of glass and various stones. Although they were successful, Kampitch became quite disappointed at the influx of overseas products that could be produced cheaper than what they could make themselves. Henry felt a desire to express himself in other ways and was especially inspired by the theories of Feng Shui. So beginning in 1999, he set his sights for a new expression outside the jewelry field.

“New Bern offered a beautiful place to prepare for our retirement.

It reminded us of the town I grew up in that was located on the Narragansett Bay,” explained Kampitch. “We stared our business in Grass Valley, Calif., a small gold mining town in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains in 1985 and brought our business to New Bern in 2004.

“We sold our work through retail art shows and later developed our wholesale business selling to retail stores and galleries throughout the US. The old bus station offered us an affordable place to grow our distribution and expand our presence locally.”

Kampitch’s new style of art involved experimenting with various methods of finishing metal, and through trial and error he discovered a unique method of combining acids and enamels. The acids scar the metal and begin the patina process while the enamels add rich color and various shades. He said the process is very different and he finds it allows the metal to be exposed, yet the colors add a softness and aged quality to the finish.

“At our studio you will find original designs 20

New Bern Magazine

crafted locally made from copper, brass and steel. Our designs are affordable with a fun playful expression. Many of these designs can be found throughout the US in many of the galleries and retail stores.

We have a wide range of designs for the garden and interior décor,” said Kampitch.

Kampitch believes that art can be an experience where one’s will and knowledge is challenged and the desire for expression is realized. He also mentions the fact that his own spirituality dwells in his work.

“Since moving to New Bern we have appreciated the warm hospitality and the chance to meet people from all over the US who have decided to make New Bern their new home. Owning our business here allows us to participate in the growth and development of this great community.”
