If you’re unable to purchase and/or borrow the book, we’ll have a copy available to read in the Arts and Craft Library.
This is a free event. To join, just read the book and show up at 7pm on Sunday, 1/26. That’s all there is to it!
Synopsis:
The underground masterpiece of twentieth-century Russian fiction, this classic novel was written during Stalin’s regime and could not be published until many years after its author’s death.
When the devil arrives in 1930s Moscow, consorting with a retinue of odd associates—including a talking black cat, an assassin, and a beautiful naked witch—his antics wreak havoc among the literary elite of the world capital of atheism. Meanwhile, the Master, author of an unpublished novel about Jesus and Pontius Pilate, languishes in despair in a pyschiatric hospital, while his devoted lover, Margarita, decides to sell her soul to save him. As Bulgakov’s dazzlingly exuberant narrative weaves back and forth between Moscow and ancient Jerusalem, studded with scenes ranging from a giddy Satanic ball to the murder of Judas in Gethsemane, Margarita’s enduring love for the Master joins the strands of plot across space and time.

Evenings with the Songwriter: Leeann Atherton
2020-01-28 19:00 - 21:00
Evenings with the Songwriter, the celebrated monthly series from the historic Dr. Eugene Clark Library begins its tenth season with Leeann Atherton on Tuesday, January 28, 7:00pm. The series is produced and hosted by Lockhart songwriter Fletcher Clark, occurring on the last Tuesday of the month, free to the public.
Leeann Atherton came to Austin via Charleston and Nashville, her songwriting suitcase full of a seamless blend of twang, soul, gospel and blues. Steeped in southern roots, stewed in Texas blues, raised by a hillbilly housewife and an Alabama gentleman in Charleston, South Carolina, away from the shopping mall culture, she put herself through college singing in a beach music dance band. She studied the spirituals of the South Carolina islands, sat in with a rural black choir, and joined the hardened professionals at work in Nashville song factories. “I loved the way those Ft. Worth boys sang ‘baby’”, Leeann gleams. A road trip to Texas was all it took, and Leeann’s independent roots flourished in the fertile musical ground of Austin.
Evenings with the Songwriter has featured scores of celebrated artists, including such luminaries as Shake Russell, Tish Hinojosa, Vince Bell, Butch Hancock, Christine Albert, Dana Cooper, Susan Gibson, Ken Gaines, Rex Foster, Eric Taylor, Shelley King, and Walt Wilkins. This Tenth Season will continue with Jenny Reynolds, Michael Hearne, Brian Kalinec, Greg Whitfield, Mark Jungers, Talia Bryce, Stoney Gabel, Eric Gerber, and Chazz Bessette. Fletcher Clark will be featured for May, celebrating the 10 anniversary of the inaugural presentation. “Evenings with the Songwriter is not really a performance nor an interview nor a song swap nor a lecture, but elements of all. ‘Exploring ‘the art and craft of songwriting’ in this way and in this special place is a very different experience for these songwriters – and the audience.” says Clark.
Fletcher Clark III, named for his father and grandfather (both doctors from nearby Prairie Lea in Caldwell County, Texas), was born and raised in San Antonio, beginning to play professionally at age 12. Graduating from Williams College in Massachusetts as an economist, he had also studied classical composition there. Leaving a banking career in Boston, he came to Austin in 1972 to become a pivotal figure in the evolution of the music scene, joining the management team at legendary Armadillo World Headquarters. His work over the years as sideman and producer/engineer for feted songwriters Steven Fromholz, Bobby Bridger, Rusty Wier, and many others led to his current songwriter career . He has released five recorded collection of his songs and continues to perform for select audiences and venues throughout the state.
The Dr. Eugene Clark Library Lyceum is the oldest continually operating library building in Texas. Its ambiance offers a special intimacy for Evenings with the Songwriter, appreciated by audience and guests alike. The series is presented to the public free of charge on the last Tuesday of the month (except December), thanks to City of Lockhart Library Director Bertha Martinez and her staff. Support comes from local Friends of the Song sponsors Todd Blomerth & Patti Payne, Donaly & Clare Brice, and Robert & Esther Wilson.

Mark Willenborg & Kevin Mooney
2020-01-31 21:00 - 23:00 | The PEARL, 110 N. Main St., Lockhart, TX, 78644, United States
Cold beer and country music on Friday night in Lockhart at The Pearl.
Mark Willenborg writes and sings classic country music – the kind that your grandfather would approve. His music is inspired more by guys named Willie and Merle than anyone named Luke or Blake. He’s been playing and singing this music as long as he can remember, but only started writing his own tunes a few years ago. “It started out as a dare from a buddy… to write a country song. So I did, and I never stopped.” His latest EP, titled “Song Worth Singing” was recorded with the help of some of the best pickers in Texas. It has a decidedly bluegrass feel with a honky tonk heart.

About Brock Zeman
When it comes to storytelling, Brock Zeman is a master craftsman. The Canada-based singer-songwriter has spent the past 12 years carving and chiseling Americana soundscapes, drawing from roots-rock and alternative country. But what separates Zeman from his contemporaries isn’t a willingness to speak truth – it’s his unwillingness to conform to the rules of Nashville and the traditional framework of genre. What gives Zeman’s stories force isn’t that he’s just singing a narrative – he’s living it…

About the Books
‘Eight Words’
Seconds away from suicide, she had an epiphany that changed everything, from the way she looked at herself and the world, to the way she would live the rest of her life. Not only did she understand why she didn’t fit in, she realized anyone’s life purpose could be boiled down into eight words, nine syllables, twenty-three letters.

‘Raising Angels’
With her minister/rancher/Army reservist husband called to active service and sent to Afghanistan for six months, Raine Montgomery must keep his ministry at Raising Angels Church, the family home called Noah’s Ranch, and her veterinary practice going while raising their three adopted children—fifteen-year-old Gabi, nine-year-old Rafe, and five-year-old Ariel.
Michael Reeves is a nightmare-suffering Army veteran who, along with his best friend Jake Montgomery, arrive at Noah’s Ranch just when Raine is about to give up. Having given up on God, and nearing the end of his mental rope, Michael is not sure what to think when Ariel says she and the angels love him and are praying for him to find his way home again.
‘She: The Journey Out’
Based on real women, She: The Journey Out is a story of hope in a time of darkness.

About the Author

E. Walker has the free-spirited soul of a gypsy, and the heart of a warrior. An Air Force veteran, her first, last, and forever love is telling a story that will touch readers hearts, and maybe change the way they look at the world.

She lives in central Texas with Honey, her mixed breed companion, and a writing muse who demands lots of time off to play between books, and snacks. Lots of snacks.
