As a native of Morganton, NC and a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Bill Leslie, WRAL-TV5 news anchor, is a Tarheel through and through. Not only a talented story-teller, Bill is a world renown musician, praised by famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma as "one of the greats in modern Celtic Music."

The Clayton Historical Association is proud to present an afternoon of Bill's music, with a cultural event entitled Tarheel Tales and Tunes, to be held at The Clayton Center, located at 111 East 2nd Street, in historic downtown Clayton, NC on June 1, 2008 at 3pm.

This special event will include selections from Bill's recently finished album titled Blue Ridge Reunion - a CD and companion book project available this fall. For this project, Bill revisited his late father’s favorite mountain vistas that inspired his father’s watercolors. Bill drew musical inspiration from these same vistas for his new songs.  The companion book will feature the late William Leslie’s Blue Ridge paintings, along with Bill’s narratives.
 
Tickets for this event are $15 (General Admission), $10 (CHA members), and $8 (Children under 12) and are available at the Clayton Center box office at (919) 553-1737, online at www.theclaytoncenter.org , or by contacting the Clayton Historical Association at This email address is being protected from spambots.
