Monday, March 21, 2011
Mikaela Fuchs (pronounced “Fox”), baker at Manuel’s Bread Café, is a maker of things. She makes cakes, calendars and curtains. She labors for hours in the kitchen over her delicious pastries and slow-rising breads, in the screenprinting studio where she creates her Hungry Fox printed goods and at home, on the floor or the dining room table, where she tries her hand at whatever pops in her head to create. She is twenty-six years old. Her artist’s statement? “I really think I can make anything.”

Zach Myers spoke to verge: “souLLow”
When Zach Myers and Ingram Hill’s Chris Allen describe heir tour as “acoustic,” they mean it in the truest sense: two men, one piano and two Taylor acoustic guitars: a 914 for Allen and a custom 814 style for Myers — a birthday present from Bob Taylor. Myers is best known as the guitarist for multi-platinum rock band Shinedown, one of the few groups who consistently sell out concerts, move CDs and place single after single at the top of the charts. They completed a successful acoustic tour last year and, according to Myers, are now at work on new material.
“The point of our band is that we believe
in ourselves,our fans believe in us
and we believe in our fans.”
– ZACH MYERS OF SHINEDOWN
Zach Myers spoke to verge about what audiences can expect on March 22 at his “souLLow” acoustic show at The Vue.

Local Musician Prepares for Nashville Move with New CD in Hand
– JIM PERKINS
Singer/songwriter Jim Perkins took an unconventional road establishing himself as a musician. He did not pick up a guitar or write songs until he was in college. An Augusta native, he grew up in a rural area with no access to cable or music videos, so he taught himself to play without the advantage of watching the artists on television. Thus, it should come as no surprise that his second and third albums — Broken Record Reasons, a band project, and Jim Perkins Live, recorded at a solo acoustic performance — buck the industry trends and are being released simultaneously.
Perkins stays busy. He gigs consistently in the Georgia/South Carolina area, is a go-to guy to open for acoustic touring artists and has a CD release show on March 19. His wife and he are also preparing for relocation to Nashville in July. He spoke to verge about his road to the stage and the craft of songwriting.
