Music, Art and Lecture Series at The Reserve at Lake Keowee
Exemplary Artist in Residence Programs
Greenville, South Carolina (PRWEB) August 16, 2015
Cultural enrichment is a priority for many Baby Boomers looking at South Carolina golf communities. It adds to the overall quality of life and gives folks the option of being entertained right “in their own backyards”. Real Estate Scorecard recognizes The Reserve at Lake Keowee in the Upstate for setting the standard for cultural events by offering one of the most impressive calendars of events for its residents with its “artist in residence” programs. Designed as a way to enhance lifelong learning and provide club members on-site lectures, art exhibits and musical performances, the “artist in residence” program took off at this award winning Lake Keowee real estate development.
Each year, the gated community selects an “Artist in Residence” who shares their talent and skillset with the fortunate residents and guests of The Reserve at Lake Keowee. This year, John Thomas Fowler, renowned Appalachian storyteller and mountain musician was selected to perform and provide workshops on the property September 22nd through September 26th. Fowler has over 25 years experience storytelling in the region and is also a song collector, author and radio host in the Carolinas. Growing up with family connections in the Appalachian Mountains, Fowler had direct access to collections of stories and songs that have been passed down for generations and reflect the rich history associated with growing up in the Appalachians. His creative and articulate style incorporates humor, music and some actual characters from the past. In addition to his unique storytelling style, Fowler also incorporates the banjo, guitar and the harmonica in his performances. In 2013, he received the prestigious Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award from the South Carolina General Assembly acknowledging his lifetime achievements as a musician and storyteller. Fowler is a local favorite and provides his talent at festivals, schools, colleges and camps. This year The Reserve of Lake Keowee is honored to have Mr. Fowler as their featured “Artist in Residence".
While at The Reserve at Lake Keowee, Mr. Fowler will be offering two scheduled events:
On Tuesday, September 22, Fowler will present Appalachian storytelling, folklore, and a genealogy at the Founder’s Hall 7:30 pm– 9pm.
On Friday September 25, Fowler will perform a high energy concert incorporation harmonic, guitar and banjo playing historic ballads while incorporating his unique “old time” mountain humor.
Last year, The Reserve at Lake Keowee featured Drs. Tony and Marianne Lenti as their 2014 “Artists in Residence” as they performed dually performing the piano and creating works of art. This prestigious couple met while they were attending Eastman School of Music and they enhanced their talent by performing together in Florence Italy. They have toured to 33 states and Europe to showcase their work and the residents truly enjoyed their performances. In 2013, Scott Crawford and Matt Hanewald were the selected “Artists in Residence”. Each presented their unique style of artistry and residents were thrilled with the programs they offered.
