African artist joins local kids to share art and culture at Shakori Hills Festival
[Apr. 19, 2007] The music starts at 4:30 on the afternoon of Thursday, April 19th for the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance. Long before the amps and mics are loaded on the stage, however, and the craft and food booths are set up, one of the most interesting parts of this year’s festival will be under construction. And who will be doing this handiwork? Children from all over Chatham County, and their new friend Issa Nyaphaga. By Sara Waters

Brown Mountain Lights solid musicians
[Mar. 25, 2004] Carrboro - The Brown Mountain Lights take their name from those ghostly lights seen for centuries in Brown Mountain, N.C. But members of the band don't look like apparitions at all. They appear to be solid and down-to-earth, having lived on earth about four decades each. But they do glow when they talk about music. Based in Chatham County because Place lives there, members of the band also live in Durham and elsewhere in the state. The band's sound comes from a number of musical influences.
