  • Western Carolinian January 25,1996 Features Acoustic 1/Vorkshop Comes to Bailees by Sebastian Fields Staff Reporter Acoustic Workshop will be playing at Bailey's on Thursday, February 1. As you can probably guess by the name, they play acoustic music. They have been playing in Sylva off and on for a while now, but haven't really seen much support from the area yet. This has nothing to do with their music because their energetic live performances have thrilled ever-growing audiences. The band began as an acoustic duo in September of 1993 in Macon, Georgia. After building a large song repertoire and a loyal following, they recorded Rage, their first album, in December of 1994. The album is a soulful mix of honest lyrics and bluesy acoustic riffs that mirror styles of both folk and rock music. Acoustic Workshop is composed of founding members Josh Carson and Shane Bridges, who both play guitar and sing, as well as Charles Gaston (bass), Brad Sorrel (drums), and Abbott Frank (percussion). The English Club and Sigma Tau Delta are sponsoring a presentation by Career Services on Wednesday, February 7 about different job opportunities for English majors. All English majors are encouraged to attend.
