Liz Cooper & The Stampede Debut Album 'Window Flowers' Receiving Rave Reviews
Tuesday, August 14, 2018Phosphorescent 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
Wednesday, August 10, 2016Scotland.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:...
Dayton Tennessee, pop up flower shop – The Triangle - Triangle
Sunday, February 28, 2021Written by: Eleanor Sanford, staff writerDAYTON, Tenn. – Love is in the air as Valentine’s day is quickly approaching. Every store in Dayton, Tennessee, is filling up with heart-shaped items and red roses. I recently met a local business owner, Lacey Raburn, who owns Raburn Acres. Raburn Acres is a local flower farm and florist that has been in Dayton for the past three years. I met Lacey at a pop-up flower shop hosted at Jennings Coffee & Tea. She brought in six buckets filled with colorful bouquets, and people began rolling in. Within 30 minutes, she had sold out. Lacey has a pop-up shop every Thursday morning from 10:30-12:30 at Jennings. She and her family have a farm where they plant and grow all their own flowers, which she crafts into some amazing bouquets and sells to the community. Lacy is currently working on creating her own workshop, she used to create all the bouquets from her kitchen counter, but as of January, she said, “I went from selling 15-20 bouquets each week to selling 50-60 every week.” She just opened a self-serve mini flower stand across from the golf course in Dayto... http://www.bryantriangle.com/news/dayton-tennessee-pop-up-flower-shop/

Moribana (‘piled up flowers’) is one of the expressions of this art, combining several clusters in natural-looking shapes and a mound of beautiful flowers to create a naturalistic landscape complementing the different seasons. My presentation will show the variety of containers and flowers that can be used as well as how the various design f... http://www.chattanoogapulse.com/events/ikebana-moribana-art-japanese-flower-arranging/

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
Saturday, January 18, 2020Elinor 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.
