Jeff Black is a Grammy nominated songwriter & performer who was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lives in Nashville, TN. His songs appear on recordings by Alison Krauss, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Douglas, John Oates, Dierks Bently, Blackhawk, Jo-el Sonnier and more. Sam Bush has championed him with recording many of his songs including "Same Ol' River" and "Gold Heart Locket".
Jeff co-wrote the title track to Sam's Grammy nominated album "Circles Around Me". His music can be heard on the soundtracks of "The Thing Called Love", The acclaimed PBS documentary "The Appalachians" and Sundance Film Festival's Grand Jury Prize Winner for Best Drama "Steel City". BlackHawk's cover of Black's song, "That's Just About Right," was a Top 10 Country single. BlackHawk's cover of Black's song, "King Of The World" was a Top 30 Country single. A master songwriter and performer, Black was voted one of the top 100 Folk artists of the last 25 years by Boston's WUMB listeners. The new album, “A Walk In The Sun” Lotos Nile released in January 2020 is Black’s 12th release. Produced by Black and mixed by Dave Sinko (Chris Thile, Punch Brothers), the new album features Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Dave Roe, Jerry Roe and Kenny Vaughan.
In the tradition of the great storytellers, his passionate, soul driven live performances of songs from his vast catalog are not to be missed.
“His words and voice hold down center stage with a craft so deeply in the artistic pocket that it obscures anything outside" - No Depression "Nothing short of brilliant. Top to bottom, this stuff is special. Black is an artist of substance." -Billboard Magazine

Mindful Photography: Basics To Get You Shooting!
September 18th | 6-8pm
There are things every good photographer knows and they have nothing to do with what kind of camera you’re wielding.
Bring your camera and come spend an evening learning how to capture a great shot with the camera of your choice. We will begin in the classroom brushing up on our camera features, tapping into our inspirations, and learning about how the elements of design apply to photography, before heading out into the “wild” to put our skills to use.
After we’ve taken all the photos, we’ll head into the “editing room” where we’ll work through how to choose the best of the bunch and edit those gems. We’ll also discuss how to get your masterpieces from your phone to your hands and onto your walls.
This is a one-day, 2-hour workshop for all ages! Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dirty in as we explore point of view and the value of capturing the unexpected.
Instructor: Meagan Skinner-Keith, Best in Show winner of the 7th Annual National Juried Exhibition, Bower Center for the Arts
