Singer/Songwriter Jacob Brock

When I first heard Jacob Brock sing at a house concert in Fairhope, he was wearing his work clothes: a nice tucked-in button-down shirt and slacks. When I met him the next day for an interview, he arrived wearing overalls, his other work clothes. You see, he has 2 personas: a banker at Community Bank by day and an incredible singer-songwriter performing all around the area by night. He calls his genre “ Y’all ternative, or better yet, Cosmic Country, but whatever it's called, its melodies and lyrics are heartfelt and beautiful.

Connie Cazort: The Art of the Storyteller

My neighbor, Connie Cazort, is loved by everyone for her infectious energy, spontaneity, and zest for life. She is especially adored by children who gather at her feet to hear her tell stories. Connie is a professional storyteller who tells, not reads, a story. With folk tales, fairy tales, classics, and stories she created herself, she captures her audience's imagination with theatrical voices, gestures, and expressive pauses. She growls, grimaces, chuckles, and gasps. Her body and soul participate in the story, creating a magical connection with her audience. “Storytelling tunes children’s ears to the music of our language,” she explains with passion.
