Liz Cooper & The Stampede Debut Album 'Window Flowers' Receiving Rave Reviews

Phosphorescent and Houndmouth on tours this fall. These shows follow the band’s busiest touring year-to-date, which featured performances with Lord Huron, Deer Tick, Rayland Baxter, Ron Gallo and Blitzen Trapper. See below for full tour details.Recorded at Welcome to 1979 in Nashville with co-production from TJ Elias, Window Flowers is the culmination of a yearlong dedication in which Cooper pushed herself to spend every single day creating in at least one medium and saying “yes” to everything she was asked to do. Of the recording, Cooper reflects, “Our first time working with an outside producer and our first time in a proper recording studio was when we recorded Window Flowers. TJ Elias’ mad scientist ideas, an abundance of hot dogs, and lack of sunlight pushed us outside of our comfort zones to work more cohesively as a unit than we ever had before.” Joined in the studio by bassist Grant Prettyman and special guests Leah Blevins, Will Brown, Steve Dawson, Emily Kohavi, Michael and Ben Ford and Gianni Gibso, the new album follows Cooper’s earlier self-released EPs—Monsters (2014) and Live at the Silent Planet (2016). Alongside Cooper, “The Stampede” consists of Prettyman and drummer Ryan Usher.Photo credit: Shervin LainezAlready known in Nashville for their electric live shows, Liz Cooper & The Stampede experienced their first breakthrough in 2016 with the release of their Audiotree Live session, which has attracted over 220,000 views on YouTube, and over 1,000,000 streams on Spotify. Additionally, the band placed as one of NPR Music’s runners-up during their 2016 Tiny Desk Contest. Of the submission, NPR Music’s Benjamin Naddaff-Hafrey hailed, “‘Mountain Man’ is a catchy, simple love song written with the clarity of a good cut of Nashville country. Liz Cooper guides the song with her percussive, fingerpicked guitar and her crackling voice…a seamless balance of muted rhythmic sounds and propulsive drive that feels so good…It sounds l... https://guitargirlmag.com/news/music-news/liz-cooper-the-stampede-debut-album-window-flowers-receiving-rave-reviews/

A hundred years of flower power as show celebrates centenary - The Courier

Scotland.This year, to mark the centenary, a special guest will open the show in the form of the Beechgrove Garden’s Carole Baxter, while a special booklet has been penned by villager Ron Stuart.Asked if the event could continue for another hundred years, Miss Bell said: “We need to get people on the committee.“We have three leaving this year and we’re all getting older.“The young ones don’t want to come in and that has an impact.”However, any fears for the future were tempered by Mrs Cobb, who said that the event had a unique part to play in Kingsbarns life.“On a show day what really gets you is that you feel a part of the village,” she said.“It brings everyone together.“During the year you can wonder where the village has gone, but at the show you know everybody and people come together.“You feel a part of an enlarged family.”The centenary show takes place in the Kingsbarns Memorial Hall on Saturday August 13 from 1.30pm – 4pm.jowatson@thecourier.co.ukShare this:...

Businesses throw Roseville homeless couple 'dream wedding' - Press Tribune Newspaper

No one hesitated. No one needed much explanation. When Suzi Baxter began approaching Roseville’s business community about a couple who’d been knocked into homelessness by the collective storm of a health condition, lack of work and housing challenges, she thought she might have to point out just how hard C.J. Triplett and Danny Dodson were trying to rebuild their lives.As it happens, telling the backstory was rarely necessary. Once Roseville’s various managers and professionals learned Baxter and her church were trying to throw the homeless couple their dream wedding, most had only one question: “What can we do to help?”That chic, well-catered, elaborately decorated ceremony — complete with professional photography, makeup and limo services — happened in front of crowd on Jan. 27. Now the newlyweds are sure they’ll be getting back on their feet. They are also sure they’ve learned a lesson about the capacity of strangers to make a person facing hardship feel like they belong again.   C.J. Triplett was a licensed real estate agent in the Turlock... http://www.thepresstribune.com/article/2/18/16/businesses-throw-roseville-homeless-couple-%25E2%2580%2598dream-wedding%25E2%2580%2599

With the right placement and little care, hydrangeas can make your Kentucky garden pop - Courier Journal

Little Honey" that grows to about 5-feet tall and keeps its stunning foliage color all through the growing season.

And finally, there’s "Snowflake," a double-flowered form with huge, stunning blooms of white, fading to rose/pink. All the hydrangeas are best in a little afternoon shade in Kentucky. With the right selections and proper placement, they are long-lived, required little care and can give your garden a tremendous amount of variety.Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, 6220 Old Lagrange Road, yewdellgardens.org.Yew Dell Botanical Gardens Spring Plant SaleWHAT:  This week will feature trees, shrubs, annuals, tropical and edibles that perform well in and around Kentucky.WHEN: 9 a.m. May 12WHERE: Find details at yewdellgardens.org or facebook.com/yewdellgardens. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/life/home-garden/2020/05/08/hydrangeas-give-your-kentucky-gardens-ample-variety-color/3047641001/

Tallahassee's florist to the Legislature - Florida Politics

Elinor Doyle.Just to be clear, there was an Elinor Doyle, who started the business in 1926, but she has been dead for nearly half a century. Her picture, however, hangs in the Tennessee Street storefront, keeping watch over owner Roxie Anne Clark and Liz Santini (who has worked there for 23 years) who will be preparing hundreds of arrangements before the Session starts Tuesday.A deluge of work after a busy Christmas season because of the even-year early Session isn’t a particularly unique challenge, Clark said.“We are coming out of the holiday season, but it’s not necessarily any worse than having it a little after Valentine’s Day, so it’s kind of the same thing,” she commented.Valentine’s Day is the No. 1 busiest day of their year, but at Elinor Doyle Florist, the start of Session is definitely No. 2. The team will work long hours over the weekend before Session begins to assure their flowers arrive in peak form. They’ll start with dish gardens, which will get a colorful addition of red mini carnations and white cushion mums right before delivery Monday. (An aside to the aides: Those gardens will last throughout Session if they’re watered weekly and kept in a not-too-sunny spot.)Florida’s chiropractors will again be gifting each member of the House and Senate with sunflowers. Orchids are on hand, a favorite gift from lobbyist Ron Book, who always sends a large basket of the tropical blooms to his daughter, Sen. Lauren Book.

Abloom Florist donates flowers to Shannondale Healthcare Center - The knoxville focus

Storm said. “We also dropped some flowers off at the front and at the nurse’s stations.”That represented a day of giving by the Tennessee Teleflora Unit, of which Storm is a member and Teleflora annually donates to service providers, including senior healthcare centers, police stations, fire stations and other members of the institutions of public service.“We have a Tennessee Teleflora Unit,” Storm said. “I’m a member and every year we donate flowers and that has to be in the service industry.”But providing service is nothing new for Abloom Florist, a company that prides itself on exemplary customer service.The company provides floral arrangements for weddings, funerals, parties and other events and Storm said that customer service is a key to the company’s success. Roy and Hazel Drinnen have owned the business since 1983. Hazel works in the shop and Roy runs daily errands to the post office.“We wanted to be a florist who brought something a little bit different,” Storm said. “There are a lot of florists in Knoxville and we’ve always prided ourselves on our customer service.“My parents pretty much bought the business and I went to work in it. We’ve prided ourselves on being a little bit different.”Storm also said that her work brings her plenty of rewards.“This is very rewarding to me because everybody likes to get flowers,” she said. “Even with funerals, the people are always pleased because we help them do what they want to remember their loved one.”... http://knoxfocus.com/archives/this-weeks-focus/abloom-florist-donates-flowers-shannondale-healthcare-center/
