Page 2 Around Town For nearly twenty years, Robert A. Tino has interpreted the landscape of the Great Smoky Mountains with an eye, palette and brush stroke that meshed realism with impressionism. His signature meshing of transparent watercolors and gouache (pronounced "gwash" - a little used opaque technique) evokes the countless moods of this mountain eden. In the late 1990's, Robert integrated oils into his portfolio because of the immediate accessibility of blending that allows him to achieve a different kind of softness. Whether the medium is watercolor or oil, Robert preserves his personal experience of the mountains with each scene in remarkable detail, while exploring his characteristic affinity for flourishes of color, depth, and texture. Since his first limited edition work issued in the early 1980's while still a student at the University of Tennessee, Robert has emerged as one of the most gifted and celebrated artists in the Southeast. Shown in fine art galleries across the South, Robert's work enjoys a devoted following of collectors - one that grows every year with each new release. Many of his earlier works are available only through sales from private collections. Abstraction, impressionism, realism... they are Robert A. Tino Originals, Canvas, Paper Prints all branches of the same river. With the 2002 work, "Things Have Changed", Robert began to follow intriguing turns down river in the journey that he is taking with his collectors. The relationship between the artist and his audience is richer when the artist shares all of himself... the creative influences and passions that catch his eye and his attention. This sharing of the diversity of his work gives his collectors an intimate glance into the studio and the opportunity to see things they would never otherwise see. Robert began looking at the ancient hills of the Smokies from a different vantage. He picked up his oils and a painting knife; and after a flurry of fast and broad strokes - when he put the knife down - something new had emerged from the forest. An abstraction with thicker paint, primary reds and blues mixed with muted sage, plum and ochre, less detail, deeper intensity, more vibrancy. And this fellow emerged, too... caught in the middle of the change of seasons in the life of an artist... looking to all the world as if he woke up one spring morning after a long winter's rest, glanced around, and discovered Things Have Changed.

Around Town Page 3 www.smswf.com By Cyndy Montgomery Reeves Gatlinburg’s Largest Collection of Antiques You owe it to yourself to stop by our antique shop in Gatlinburg for the best selection of antiques, collectibles and antique furniture in the area Carrie Tillis Hilary Williams Sam Williams Saturday night's ticketed concert August 18th at the Glenstone Lodge during the Smoky Mountains Songwriters Festival “Descendants of the Legends” will showcase Hank Williams Sr.'s grandchildren, Hank Jr.'s offspring Hilary and Sam along with Mel Tillis' daughter, Carrie. This is one SMSWF Concert Showcase Series you will not want to miss. Carrie Tillis comes with a resume that jumps from opera to Grand Ole Opry, Broadway to Branson. It seems like this Tillis has turned what could have been a serious identity crisis into a good thing. Any skeptics that once likened the idea of a Tillis being more than country to something like an Earnhardt Studying ballet, stand corrected as Carrie shifts gears easily through the many styles she loves. While at Samford University in Birmingham, AL, Carrie fell into what she calls the happy accident of singing opera. Seems it was no accident as the genetic influence of Dad's rich baritone mixed with her own lyric soprano made for some serious singing chops. Carrie's CD “Roundtrip” is her own self-penned country album. Hilary Williams wrote the song “Sign of Life” and authored the book “Sign of Life” coming out of a long healing process after a terrible car accident with her sister Holly. Sign of Life gives context to Hilary's place in the world by telling the stories of her grandfather and dad, as only a close family member could. Hilary recounts the challenges her grandfather faced and addresses his untimely death. She draws parallels with her dad's near fatal fall from the side of a mountain that forever changed his life and ultimately led him to move out of the shadows of his famous father and step into the spotlight as one of country music's most innovative and celebrated entertainers. When you are 3rd generation country music royalty, the world will always see you differently, but it's what's inside that counts to Hilary Williams. Her definition of being beautiful means “on the inside and out, with a beautiful soul and spirit”. Sam Williams is the spitting image of the late Hank Williams, Sr. Sam reflects when you're literally “lil Hank Williams” in real life, for better or worse, not just for social media. This reflection shines in his debut video “The Lost Grandchild's Plea” which exemplifies how his life is his art. It evolved from a little poem thinking about if his grandparents were in his life, what it would mean for him and what it would mean for them. This single relates how sitting in that pondering felt to Sam. The depth of this young mam's thinking enhances his songwriting ability. Here is a sample of that in this verse he penned. “I poured myself some TN Whiskey - In hopes I'd find something funny - In how the universe works - And the pressure of this name”. These children of the greats are sharing their talent in the music world living under the shadow and presence of legendary great families. You will find that Carrie, Hilary, and Sam all have their own uniqueness in the musical world. They appreciate their roots but are and have come with their own style and answers to the tremendous amount of talent they have inherited. Rising above the bar in those families is an incredible task but these descendants study their family's heritages and plights and the music produced by the Legends that gave them their birthrights. Friday night's ticketed concert is showcasing Country Artist Songwriters SYLVIA “Nobody”, “Drifter” and “Tumbleweed”, Bobby G. Rice “You Lay so Easy on My Mind” and Leona Williams, Merle Haggard's “You Take Me For Granted” and “Someday When Things are Good”. 373 Parkway, Gatlinburg • (865) 325-1411 www.facebook.com/AmericanSideshow The 7th Annual Smoky Mountains Songwriters Festival August 13-22, 2018 will feature 33 #1 Hit Writers in free live music shows along with 150 aspiring songwriters performing at the following venues: Crystelle Creek Restaurant and Grill, The Park Vista lobby lounge, Three Jimmys, The Ship Pub, Anakeesta on the Plaza and up top, Drafts Sports Bar & Grille, Loco Burros and on the Sound Biscuit stage at the Gatlinburg Inn.
