The Salem Museum is pleased to unveil its latest featured exhibit, “Salem’s Hidden Hero: Andrew Lewis and the Revolutionary War.” Now open in the Main Gallery through early September. Chronicling Lewis’ life and lynchpin status in the course of the American Revolution, visitors can try on garments, handle tools, and interact with materials resembling those of Revolutionary era Virginia.

Visitors will step back in time more than 250 years ago to a colony on the brink of conflict. Following the life of Andrew Lewis – a pioneering resident of what would one day be Salem and who led western Virginia’s militia in its fight to secure frontier settlements – this exhibit showcases the life story of an unsung Revolutionary War hero who helped expel the British from Virginia and shape a foundling nation in its infancy. Examine a handwritten account of an eyewitness to Lewis in battle, observe authentic swords and muskets used during the Revolution, and discover the hidden legacy of this larger-than-life figure.

Unique to this exhibit are the extensive hands-on clothing, tools, and books displayed throughout the gallery. Visitors can dress like a British redcoat, don a workingman’s jacket, put on a hat identical to Martha Washington’s, or handle an embroidered apron. In the aroma station, participants can put their noses to the test and compare the smells of common Colonial kitchens ingredients. Visitors can even hold a replica musket and drill like Revolutionary soldiers did!

Thanks to the Helen S. and Charles G. Patterson, Jr. Charitable Foundation Trust and the Robertson Endowment for Exhibits and Events for making this exhibit possible.

The Charlottesville Jazz Society and WTJU present an evening with master percussionists Tim Daisy and Scott Clark

The Charlottesville Jazz Society and WTJU are pleased to present a unique evening of percussion at Visible Records on Tuesday July 8th at 7:30 pm. For the past several years, Visible Records, a gallery space at 1740 Broadway Street, has been home to improvisational and experimental music across all genres.
Although Tim Daisy and Scott Clark are in the process of recording an album together, this will be their first concert as a duo.

Tim Daisy is a Chicago-based drummer, composer, and educator renowned for his contributions to both improvised and composed music. Since landing in Chicago in 1997, he has actively engaged with the city’s vibrant creative music scene, performing, recording, and touring with numerous esteemed musicians and ensembles. Beyond performance and recording, Daisy has composed original pieces for modern dance, sound installations, documentary films, and podcasts, showcasing his versatility as an artist.

Drummer and composer Scott Clark is at the center of the Richmond VA improvised music scene, and is making a name for himself through his “striking musical maturity, evident in his patience and precision.” He has curated dozens of concerts that match local musicians on bills with internationally recognized touring artists, and is co-curator of music for Out Of Your Head Records.

Clark’s work is focused on the arc of composition through improvisation and sonic story-telling. His exceptional playing and compositional method can be heard on his widely-acclaimed releases, the solo drum album This Darkness (2021) and his ScottClark4tet albums ToNow (2018) and Bury My Heart (2016) on Clean Feed Records.
