BEST COUNTRY, TRADITIONAL

MUSIC IN AUGUST Jack Bernhardt for Triangle Today

It’s the last month of summer, and country/traditional music is heating up as top-tier acts roll in from Asheville and Nashville. Mainstream stars bring chart-topping hits, while Americana artists offer singer-songwriter perspectives on life and love in an age of uncertainty.

Dierks Bentley Among the most original artists to hit Nashville in the past 15 years, Dierks Bentley blends a bluegrass ethos with traditional country sentiments. Sixteen number one hits include “What Was I thinkin’?,” “Somewhere On a Beach,” and “Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go).” Bentley is accompanied on his “Mountain High” tour by Brothers Osborne and LANCO. The details: Aug. 9, 7 pm. Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, Raleigh. (Bentley plays in Charlotte Aug. 10) $43 and up. 919-831-6400 or walnutcreekamphitheatre.com/tickets/ Town Mountain Since earning IBMA’s Momentum Award in 2013, Ashe-

presents

ville’s Town Mountain has continued its upward surge.

Behind the brilliant fiddling of Chapel Hill native, Bobby Britt, and Robert Greer’s emotive vocals, Town Mountain has developed an avid festival following as well as appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. Their current tour features songs form their acclaimed CD, “Southern Crescent,” and “New Freedom Blues,” scheduled for release in October.

The details: Aug. 10, 8 pm. Cat’s Cradle, Carrboro. $12-$15. catscradle.com/events or 919-967-9053

Elizabeth Cook

The “Father of Newgrass Music,” Sam Bush is that and more. The Bowling Green, Kentucky native is among the elite members of acoustic music. Allied with such pioneering artists as Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Mark O’Connor, and Bryan Sutton, Bush has served as band leader for Emmylou Harris. Hank and Pattie Duo are scheduled to open.

With apologies to Loretta Lynn: When you’re listening to Elizabeth Cook, you’re listening to country. The Florida native has had more than her share of hard knocks, and she shares her bruises in original songs delivered with intimacy, humor, and sass. She’s exposed the challenges of a woman making it in the man’s world of country music in “Sometimes it Takes Balls to be a Woman.” She’s been showcased on “Late Show with David Letterman,” Grand Ole Opry, and NPR, and received rave reviews from “No Depression” and “The New York Times.”

The details: Aug. 11, 8 pm, Cat’s Cradle, Carrboro. $30 and up. catscradle.com/events or 919-967-9053

The details: Aug. 26, 8 pm. Motorco, Durham. $15 and up.

David Cross hears your outrage over politics, but that’s not what he’s all about Glenn McDonald for Triangle Today

“Transparent” for allegations of sexual misconduct, also had verbally harassed her.

Cross got caught up in the aftermath this spring and later apologized for how he reacted in the moment, according to IndieWire.

Registration not required.

Meanwhile, Cross is back to his day job as a touring comic and will bring his stand-up show “Oh Come On” to the Carolina Theatre in Durham Aug. 7. Calling in from his tour bus between stops, Cross spoke to the N&O about Monty Python, perpetual outrage and the very real power of comedy catharsis.

Painting the Camino de Santiago Oil Paintings by Sonia Kane Cary Town Hall, 316 N. Academy Street, Cary In the summer of 2016, Sonia Kane embarked on a long-awaited, two-week, 150 mile pilgrimage. Beginning in southwest France and hiking through the Pyrenees into northern Spain, her journey was a reminder of the richness of traveling “at the speed of life”, receiving each day as it unfolds, and being grateful for its many gifts.

Come experience the beauty and peace of this pilgrimage through the eyes of an artist as she shares her journey of paintings into the Camino de Santiago.

Rah-Rah! A Collection of Original Paintings from Haiti Gallery C, 540 N. Blount St., Raleigh A mix of African memory, a history of slavery and independence, voodoo traditions, and the joi de vivre of an island paradise, Painting traditions from Haiti remain uncontaminated

by Western precedents. Initially labeled “naïve,” “folk” and “primitive,” today Haitian art is highly respected in the cultural consciousness of the international art establishment and is often compared by critics to the work of artists like Gauguin and Rousseau. Since the 1980s, Gallery C has been a leading dealer of Haitian art, showcasing such renowned artists as Levoy Exil, Blaise, Laguerre, and Onel just to name a few. Come see this fresh show of island art and discover the newest talent in this long line of Haitian painters.

Q: Were you into comedy as a little kid?

David Cross will bring his stand-up show “Oh Come On” to the Carolina Theatre in Durham Aug. 7. Courtesy of Just For Laughs Conceptual, cerebral and occasionally controversial, the comedy of David Cross is a genuine commodity in these days of the early 21st century.

Cross is best known for his TV work – HBO’s “Mr. Show” and the hall-of-fame sitcom “Arrested Development” — but he’s also a veteran stand-up comedian with a reputation for razor-sharp topical runs and viscous political riffs.

The real thrill with Cross, however, is his apparently hardwired ability to combine trenchant observational humor with inspired flights of dark American surrealism. Check out his last Netflix special “Making America Great Again!” for a taste. He’s got a segment on U.S. gun policy that’s so dark it goes straight past funny into some new kind of skull-cracking Swiftian ferocity.

He’s been in the news this summer because of an awkward exchange in The New York Times that detailed the “Arrested Development” cast’s discussion of star Jeffrey Tambor’s on-set behavior toward co-star Jessica Walter. In the interview, Walter revealed that Tambor, who was fired from the TV show

A: Oh, very much so, yeah. I didn’t have older brothers or sisters but my dad was really responsible for that; he got me into Abbott and Costello when I was a really little kid. I was never one for, you know, Westerns or cop shows or anything like that. I always gravitated toward the comedy stuff.

As I got older, it was Monty Python and I listened to Dr. Demento on the radio. I can’t remember when I first started getting my own comedy records, but I remember I had Richard Pryor, Jonathan Winters, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Steve Martin. And all the Python stuff, of course. Every other record I would buy was a comedy record.

Q: The new show is going to keep you on the road through the summer, doing five or six nights a week, sometimes a couple shows a night. Have you developed any strategies over the years to stay healthy and sane on tour?

A: Yeah, oh my God, health-wise it’s so difficult. I mean, I’ve been doing this for three weeks now maybe and I’ve already gained a couple pounds. Your health goes out the window – anybody who tours will tell you. You can try your best to get a you know, a smoothie or a salad here or there. But mostly it’s just, you get hungry, you eat. You don’t get exercise. It’s mostly sitting on a bus. I’m sitting on a bus right now.

Best streaming TV shows and documentaries for the summer

cast from top to bottom, with a standout performance from Alison Brie and a strong showing from podcast titan Marc Maron.

Brooke Cain for Triangle Today

Where to find it: Netflix We’ve put together a list of some of the best titles to stream while you hide from the sun’s death rays. Call it a companion piece to our similar list of titles to stream while snowed in.

(Note: We’ve concentrated on original streaming titles, so no need to point out that we’ve left off “The Wire” or “Game of Thrones” or whatever cable TV show also happens to be streaming right now. Those are great, but that’s not what this is.)

Below are a couple highlights.

‘GLOW’ The second season of this 1980s-set Netflix original about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling dropped this summer, and it’s even better than the first. But you need to see both seasons, so if you’re a “Glow” virgin, start at the beginning. It’s funny and heartbreaking and delivered in halfhour servings. And it’s a strong, mostly-female

Alison Brie returns in the second season of Netflix’s “GLOW.”Beth Dubber, Netflix

‘CASTLE ROCK’ A fascinating horror anthology series that works as a melding of many parts of Stephen King’s universe. Most of it is set around the Shawshank prison,

but you’ll see references to plot points from classics like “The Shining,” “Stand

By Me” (aka “The Body”) and “Cujo.”

It also stars actors who have played some of King’s most well-known characters: Sissy Spacek (“Carrie”), Bill Skarsgard (“It”), Terry O’Quinn (“Silver Bullet”) and Frances Conroy (“The Mist”), for example.
