The Emerging Artists Series was born out of a need for the Randolph Arts Guild to highlight and showcase local talent. We at the RAG want to support local artists in any shape possible to help them gain exposure and popularity. Emerging Artists concerts will be held one Monday a month at the Sunset Theatre from 6-8 pm. Admission is $10 at the door. Please come out and enjoy the talents of our local musicians! Bruce Piephoff Monday, August 13th from 6-8 pm Sunset Theatre $10, tickets at the door Bruce Piephoff has been writing and performing songs and poetry for over 40 years. He began in Chapel Hill, NC in the late 60's, while a student at UNC-Chapel Hill, at the age of 19. Searching for a major, he decided on English and followed a lifelong love of literature. Since then, Bruce has been recording and performing, mostly out of Greensboro, for several decades. Firmly a part of the Appalachian tradition of story-songs and character portraits, it’s his versatility that makes his music so fascinating. Easily touching both the shores of folk music and poetry with simple, compelling imagery and subtle depth, Piephoff's unassuming voice, ringing with wit and sincerity, steals the show. Bruce has returned to working as an independent singer, songwriter, and poet; he has recorded 21 CDs of original material for Flyin' Cloud Records and performed nationwide on the folk singer/songwriter circuit. He just published his second book of poetry, Fiddlers and Middlers, in 2009. In October 2011, he released his 21st CD, Still Looking Up At The Stars, produced by Scott Sawyer. Soft Soap Purrings is his 22nd CD release in 2014. Bruce has shared the stage with Steve Forbert, Riders In The Sky, Greg Allman, Chuck Brodsky, Tom Paxton, and others, and has played everywhere from Merlefest to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
