Celtic powerhouse Coyote Run will bring their signature and highly literate Celtic Rock to the Palace Theatre on Main Street in Crossville on Monday night, May 18, at 7 p.m. Touring in support of their new CD, "Between Wick and Flame," Coyote Run's theatrical performances have been igniting stages nationwide. This is a band that loves Celtic music, loves their audiences and knows how to have a rollicking good time!
Given that their founder and lead singer has been a professor for many years, it is no surprise that this band has come to be known as "the thinking person's Celtic Rock band.” Coyote Run headlines and performs in major Celtic festivals, concert halls, clubs and pubs throughout the United States, as well as tours of Ireland and Scotland.
Within a sweeping soundscape, Coyote Run engages the audience in story after story, whisking them away to march side by side with Joan of Arc, or to roll out the guns against Sir Francis Drake, invade the French city of Calais, snatch back a faerie abductee, or witness the cruelty of a witch trial in colonial Virginia. The stories are rich and compelling; the melodies are memorable and at once manage to be both familiar and original. Tight harmonies and soaring vocals telling tales from legend, history and myth are the hallmark of this band.
The May 18 performance will be the fourth time the Performing Arts Alliance (PAART) has presented these incredible performers on the Palace stage. The previous concert appearance of Coyote Run, “Christmas with the Coyotes,” sold out in record time. Tickets to this event are reserved seating and may be purchased at the Palace Theatre. They are $15 for adults and $8 for students. For more information call the Palace Theatre at 484-6133 (www.palacetheatre-crossville.com) or Debbie Mendenhall (www.performingartsalliance.org) at (931) 261-8016.

The River WILD!
The Big South Fork of the Cumberland River winds its way through the 125,000 acres of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area before flowing into the Cumberland River and Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. It’s a free-flowing river, with no dams to control release of the water, but the scenery and the magnificent rock formations make it a favorite of paddling enthusiasts who watch the weather to see if they can get out and explore areas that are hard to reach by foot.

Farmer's Market opens for business June 2
The Cumberland County Farmer’s Market will officially open the growing season as it has every year since 1978. This year’s “opening” will be Saturday, June 2, at the traditional location on Livingston Rd., next to the fairgrounds. Selling will begin early (6:30 a.m. or so), although some vendors may set up a few hours later in order to provide the freshest vegetables picked just that morning. There is usually a good selection until well after noon.
