HEARTS Circle Members' Gala '24 featuring Kyshona

Presenting the 3rd Annual HEARTS Circle Members' Gala on September 7, 2024, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. This event is free for all HEARTS Circle members. Join us for an unforgettable evening at Cedar Grove. The event will feature a private house concert by the acclaimed singer/songwriter Kyshona. She is currently on tour for the release of her newest album, "Legacy," and her singing and storytelling were meant for HEARTS.

Doors open at 6:00, and a Southern gourmet farm-to-table dinner by the Carolina Farm Trust will be served following Kyshona's performance. Guests will have the opportunity to explore Cedar Grove's private second floor and attic. 

The support of HEARTS Circle members allows us to further research, explore, and share the history, ecology, art, and stories connected to this land, create and maintain trails and grounds, further preservation and conservation initiatives, fund archaeological research, preserve collections, integrate the arts, support operations, and provide visitors with a historic destination for new connections and experiences. 

Thank you for supporting HEARTS, and we hope you will join us!

Reviews of Kyshona's "Legacy"

 "...heartfelt empathy is evident on Legacy, an inspiring collection of gospel, folk, and blues." - NPR https://www.npr.org/2024/03/12/1237341224/taylor-swift-beyonce-spring-2024-albums

"Kyshona's genre-fluid album...finds redemption in exploring generational traumas - with compassion, heart, and family ties front and center" 

- Ed Helms, Good Country

"Kyshona nurtures the myriad branches of her family tree with this remarkably thorough tribute to her ancestors." - The Boston Globe

"...organic, rocking, soulful groove" - The Nashville Scene

"On her stirring new album Legacy, Kyshona searches out the legacy—of her family, of her home place, of her name—that her ancestors have bequeathed to her with eloquent soul." "...an ethereal testimony to the resonating presence of the generations of individuals who reverberate through our lives." "Kyshona inhabits these songs in the same way she dwells in the spirits of her legacy, and they in her. She transports her listeners, and herself, on this journey to the nooks and crannies of legacy, and it shines brightly through her soaring vocals." - Folk Alley
