The Hello Strangers Poor Dear Live at Shepherdstown Opera House 11/15/13
The Hello Strangers perform their original song Poor Dear at Shepherdstown Opera House in Shepherdstown, WV on 11/15/13.
About The Hello Strangers:
What does Austin-influenced, rural-Pennsylvanian, indie sister-folk sound like? Verbosity aside, it sounds uniquely like The Hello Strangers, a sister duo whose haunting harmonies and original, wittingly noir songwriting style are the backbone of their sound.
The Hello Strangers were born out of the Austin, Texas music scene in 2006 when sisters Larissa Chace Smith and Brechyn Chace wrote their first song together, entitled Pregnant in Jail. Based on true events, it was a preamble to a string of original tunes the pair crafted in a little cottage off South Congress Avenue. Soon, however, the mountains of Pennsylvania beckoned the girls back north, and so they packed up their lives, dogs, and Larissa's husband and returned to their two-stoplight hometown.
The move has since proven to be a boon for the duo. The sisters have created a catalogue of original music with nods to American folk traditions, modern indie rock, Texas country-folk, and roots rock, all tied together with lilting harmonies that only sisters can create. Timeless imagery and fables are at the core of each song, from tales of a boggy creek bottom where a murdered man sleeps, to a Texas roadhouse with bawdy dancers and clinking beer bottles, to more poignant reflections on the loss of winter or a man gone wrong.
The sisters are backed by Spencer Pheil on guitar, Trent Renshaw on drums, and Tom Hoy on bass.
The Hello Strangers recently won the AirPlay Direct Win An Americana Record Deal Contest and will have the honor of working with IMI Music in Nashville, Tennessee on their forthcoming album.
No Surf Music calls them perhaps the most exciting prospects on the Americana scene today, with dark, perfectly crafted lyrics expressed through a pair of harmonious voices literally born to sing together and coated in folk-inspired music bolstered by a fresh, modern attitude.
Instrumentation:
Larissa Chace Smith - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
Brechyn Chace - Vocals, Harmonica, Accordion
Tom Hoy - Bass
Spencer Pheil - Lead Guitar
Trent Renshaw - Drums

240 Second Art Show: The World Of The Willing
An art exhibit running from August 17 to September 18 at The Davis Fina Arts Building at West Virginia State University.
The World of the Willing is a multi-media exhibition, featuring paintings, assemblage, sculpture, films, illustrations and designs. These various artistic mediums are assembled to provide the viewer with the opportunity to explore a world that is both foreign and familiar.
The theme of transformation is experienced through out the exhibition, as damaged and discarded items become pieces that entertain and stimulate the mind and imagination in new ways. The characters within the films are transformed by their physical and emotional interactions with the items that are on display. The different artistic mediums within the exhibit interact with one another to expand the identity of each individual item and create relationships, ideas, and a mythology shared by all the pieces. The exhibit allows the viewer to be a traveler in a world where there are no tour guides or road maps. It is the exploration of the human desire to physically interact with something tactile and create change within themselves and the world they live in.
