UNCSA Concerts, Crossroads @ SECCA, And NPR's Tiny Desk Contest

David Ford suggests two ways you can take advantage of the offerings at UNCSA. You can check out piano duo Allison Gagnon and Eric Larsen who will be playing the Hamburg Steinways of Watson Hall in paying tribute to Bill Huesman, UNCSA's piano technician, who will retire in 2016. The concert is Saturday, January 16th at 7:30pm in Watson Hall. There will also be a Guitar Faculty Artist Recital featuring Joe Pecoraro. The "Two by Two" concert will highlight works from four centuries and is Tuesday, January 19th at 7:30pm in Watson Hall on the UNCSA campus.

Eddie recommends Crossroads at SECCA on Friday, January 22nd. Phil Cook will headline, and Triangle rockers The Dead Tongues and Shenandoah Valley instrumental guitarist Daniel Bachman will open the triple bill.

Bethany reminds local musicians that NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest is back! They're looking to find the next undiscovered musician to play behind Bob Boilen's desk at NPR Headquarters. Submissions are due by February 2nd. Send a recording of an original song, and you might rep the Triad in D.C. For full contest rules, click here.
