SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Gridiron Gospel
DESCRIPTION:Historian Hunter M. Hampton of Stephen F. Austin State University presents a history of how\, from the game's early days\, college football and a strain of masculine Christianity built a mutually reinforcing culture that taught lessons in America's dominant religious\, gendered\, and racial belief systems. He examines how Christians of many denominations embraced the game to shape their faith to meet changing social demands\, seeking spiritual and personal meaning on the gridiron. Fans watched the action to find God's lessons for them\, wins and losses expressing divine will while the game's popularity offered potent ways to evangelize non-believers. The sport also provided a stage for fostering Christian manhood\, male community\, gender dominance\, and on-the-field heroic displays serving a higher purpose. Dr. Hunter will give a free online live lecture Monday\, October 20\, 7-8:30 PM via a Zoom webinar. Register at tinyurl.com/GridironGospel. The video will be simultaneously presented on FaceBook and Youtube.

SUMMARY:Performance:Seth Walker
DESCRIPTION:“Walker's sweet tenor carries an edge of pain\, as well as affection for blue notes.” - NPR Music\n\nAmong the most prolific artists on the Americana scene today\, Seth Walker is a multi-dimensional talent who combines a gift for melody and lyric alongside a rich\, Gospel-drenched\, Southern-inflected voice with a true blue knack for getting around on the guitar. With his 12th studio album Why The Worry\, Walker further builds upon this reputation. \n\nSet straight by the title’s mantra\, Why The Worry finds the veteran singer-songwriter letting go of the worry about perception\, the worry of over-preparation\, and the worry that seeps in constantly from the news and noise of everyday life. Taking a page from Willie Nelson\, Walker embraced the country music legend's sage wisdom\, “I’ve never seen worry accomplish anything\, so I decided not to do it.” Indeed\, the album was just about finished when Hurricane Helene hit Walker where he lives in the mountains around Asheville\, and as a result\, the record almost didn’t see light.  As catastrophe took shape\, the album’s importance wavered in his mind until the central theme came back into view. The worry wouldn’t undo any damage\, and there was still service in song. \n\nGrowing up on a commune in rural North Carolina\, the son of classically trained musicians\, Walker played cello long before discovering the guitar in his 20s. When his introduction to the blues came via his Uncle Landon Walker\, who was both a musician and disc jockey\, his fate was forever sealed. Instantaneously\, Seth was looking to artists like T-Bone Walker\, Snooks Eaglin\, and B.B. King as a wellspring of endless inspiration. The rest is history. He's released twelve albums\, broken into the Top 20 of the Americana Radio Charts\, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart and received praise from NPR\, American Songwriter\, No Depression and Relix\, among others. \n\nAlongside his extensive songwriting and recording pursuits\, Walker is consistently touring and performing at venues and festivals around the world. Along with headline shows\, he's been invited to open for The Mavericks\, Marc Broussard\, The Wood Brothers\, Raul Malo\, Paul Thorn and Ruthie Foster\, among others. \n\nPrior to relocating to Asheville in 2020\, Walker did stints residing in Austin\, New Orleans and Nashville. He’s used those experiences wisely\, soaking up the sounds and absorbing the musical lineage of these varied places. With a bluesman’s respect for roots and tradition\, coupled with an appreciation for—and successful melding of—contemporary songwriting\, Walker sublimely incorporates a range of styles with warmth and grace. Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: “If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana\, then Seth Walker—with his blend of blues\, gospel\, pop\, R&B\, rock\, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.”
