The Art & Soul of Raleigh
Meet @weirs.ig, a Triangle folk music collective t Meet @weirs.ig, a Triangle folk music collective that gathers singers & instrumentalists for otherworldly takes on traditional tunes. "On their 2nd album, Diamond Grove, Weirs covers some of the most familiar tunes from the traditional folk music canon. There’s “Lord Randall” and “Edward,” ballads made famous by American folk revival legend Jean Ritchie; the African-American spiritual “I Want to Die Easy” + two versions of the “Doxology.". Yet this still might be the most unusual folk record you’ll ever hear. Along with ambient noises typical of field recordings, it also has water dripping onto a grate, looped samples and mind-blowing distortion. One of those “Doxology” versions was recorded through an iPhone for a warped, otherworldly effect, punctuated by the faint sound of dogs baying in the distance. This mindset extends to the band’s name, Weirs, after the low barriers that direct the flow of a river," writes @ncdavidmenconi in our April issue.📸 @chajbo + @rodeo_walrus

EXCLUSIVE: Local Schools Plan for “Pollen Days.” 🌱 EXCLUSIVE: Local Schools Plan for “Pollen Days.” 🌱💨In response to complaints about the high levels of tree pollen, schools are considering a virtual learning curriculum for potential “Pollen Days.” “This year we’re predicting close to an inch of pollen blanketing surfaces,” says Ethan Clark @ncwx_authority . “Stay inside, stay off the roads, keep your house airtight; no opening of windows or cracking doors. Stock up on Claritin, paper towels and cleaning spray. Remember, it doesn’t snow here — it just pollens.”
