Rita Coolidge
2019-01-09 20:00 | Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra, 32082
In support of her newest album with Blue Élan Records, Safe in the Arms of Time, Rita Coolidge returns to her musical roots and poignant songwriting as she did in her acclaimed 2015 memoir, Delta Lady, drawing inspiration from her personal journey.
“I’ve written so many songs assuming a role like an actor, but this time I got to write from experience,” says Coolidge, who co-wrote three of the album’s 12 wondrous cuts. “This is the best record I’ve ever done. I’m extremely proud of it.”
In many ways, Safe in the Arms of Time is both a reflection and a continuation of Coolidge’s remarkable history, one that took flight during the heyday of the ‘70s L.A. music scene when she sang backup on Stephen Stills’ “Love the One You’re With” and Eric Clapton’s “After Midnight.” (And astute music fans are well aware of how she contributed the classic – and uncredited – piano coda to Derek & the Dominoes’ “Layla.”) “The idea was making an album that had the same appeal of my early records – to make a roots record about my own roots,” Coolidge says.
And so it was only fitting that Coolidge and producer Ross Hogarth, along with an all-star lineup of top musicians – guitarist Dave Grissom, bassist Bob Glaub, keyboardist John “J.T.” Thomas, and drummer Brian MacLeod – assembled at L.A.’s Sunset Sound, the famed recording studio where she recorded her first solo albums on A&M Records 30 years ago. “Going back to Sunset Sound was taking a journey into the past – there was a memory down every hallway,” Coolidge says.
Coolidge wrote two of the album’s standout cuts – the sparky blues number “Naked All Night” and the smooth-soul gem “Walking on Water” – with Grammy-winning blues star Keb’ Mo’ and singer-songwriter Jill Colucci in Nashville. Trading vocals with Keb’ Mo’ on “Walking on Water” was a thrill for Coolidge, who enthuses, “I literally have every Keb’ Mo’ CD. I’ve been a fan for decades.”
Safe in the Arms of Time also gave Coolidge the chance to reunite with one of her real-life past flames, one who has remained a cherished friend, Graham Nash. Nash and drumming legend Russ Kunkel had offered Coolidge their smoky blues rocker “Doing Fine Without You” two years before she began recording. “I said to them, ‘I don’t know when I’m doing a record. Can I put this on hold?” When she and Hogarth started the project, it would be one of the first songs they picked.
The “Delta Lady” (as she was named by her fellow Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour member Leon Russell) has captivated fans during her astonishing 50-year career, selling millions of copies of signature hits such as “We’re All Alone,” “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” “All Time High”, and “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher.” Her eight-year relationship with former husband Kris Kristofferson yielded three top-selling albums (including the No. 1 hit Full Moon) and multiple Grammy Awards.
Safe in the Arms of Time marks the first new music Coolidge has recorded since the tragic death in 2015 of her beloved sister, Priscilla, a recording artist and member of Walela, the Native American trio she and Coolidge founded with Priscilla’s daughter, Laura Satterfield. The recording of the album also coincided with Coolidge’s relocation from Southern California to a new life in Tallahassee, where in the 1960s, as an art major at Florida State University, she discovered her true calling as a musician – and never looked back.

Butterfield Gallery January 2019 Feature Artists, CarlyleGibbs Wearable Art
2019-01-04 17:00 - 21:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
An Artist Talk, First Friday January 4th at 6pm is an opportunity to meet the artists, and hear the behind-the-scenes view of their inspiration and processes.
Kathryn Carlyle and Cheryl Gibbs unique collaboration began during silversmithing classes at the Boca Raton Art Museum School two decades ago. They formed a unique bond, and began to jointly create one-of-a-kind wearable art. Exhibiting at galleries, art shows and many other venues together, their designs have hit the runways as well as film recognition. CarlyleGibbs has received numerous awards throughout the years.
Kathryn’s primary focus is her jewelry designs and metal work. Her unique art jewelry incorporate rich textured surfaces, colorful vibrant gem stones, and tailored precious metals. Kathryn accents many of her work with unusual materials in order to create a new look. In the artist’s own view she believes “the pieces of jewelry I create are meant to be savored and handled. Each piece I design has a rich heritage; it is my desire to enhance and embellish the materials by adding my own unique creativity to my limited edition collectibles.”
Since college, Cheryl has been involved in the arts, as a designer, product development, and Gallery Manager. But she is most proud of her jewelry designs. Winning first prize at Disney Worlds Festival of the Arts was a career highlight. Cheryl’s works use a variety of essential skills in production. The metal is hand fabricated either with a saw and solder or created with metal clay and fired in a kiln. More advanced techniques include chasing, piercing, enamel, granulation and casting. She has learned to mix materials and processes to create original works and the result is stylish, elegant, unusual jewelry.
