Bulltown Strutters was born in September <br /> of 2010 when Mark Donelly of Hillsborough Arts Council asked Cathy Kielar if she could get <br /> together a percussion band for the Oct 2010 Hillsborough Handmade Parade. Cathy responded <br /> with " I think I can do better than that." Cathy then enlisted her clarinet-playing husband, Blaise <br /> Kielar, and Blaise contacted his horn playing friends. They play music that is ripe for butt <br /> shaking, smile making, shake and boogie music. <br /> Diali Cissohko & Kairaba!- Town Commons; 1:00- Diali Cissokho&Kairaba! is composed of <br /> Senegalese griot musician Diali Keba Cissokho, with North Carolinians John Westmoreland, <br /> Jonathan Henderson, Austin McCall and Will Ridenour. The band formed after Diali moved to <br /> North Carolina and began to look for musicians who shared his love and passion for creating <br /> music based on Manding tradition, flavored with local and personal styles. The outcome of this <br /> collaboration is an infectious sound reminiscent of West African dance bands full of unison <br /> melody, adventurous improvisation, fiery solos and polyrhythmic frameworks. <br /> And here are some of our"re ug lars": <br /> Tim Smith Band-Weaver Street Market; 6:15- After more than a decade, this North Carolina <br /> band formerly called The Jumpstarts is still cooking up a deliciously original blend of great <br /> music.

Seasoned with soul and a dash of funk, this <br /> concoction really simmers. Like an old family recipe passed along from one generation to the <br /> next, the dish of a band only gets better with time. <br /> Loose Mood Experiment- ArtsCenter's West End;7:00-The original compositions Gary <br /> Duncan creates on the hammered dulcimer are founded in rhythm as much as in melody and <br /> reflect his percussive background.
