Forest Bathing (also known as Shinrin-Yoku) broadly means taking in the forest atmosphere with all of one’s senses.    Not simply a walk in the woods; it is the conscious and contemplative  practice of being immersed in the sights\, sounds\, and smells of  the forest. During your walk\, Aimee Vandemark will guide you through  invitations to awaken your senses\, slow down\, be present\, and reconnect  with the nature and rhythm of your surroundings.

The show will trace Pippa’s deepening relationship with the North Carolina Triangle\, blending nature-rich songwriting with soulful vocals and plenty of cello.  \nYou might know Pippa as the cello half of local folk-pop duo Honey Magpie\, but she’s also been performing solo around the Triangle since 2014. Her 2018 debut album\, “Night Bird Singing\,” introduced her signature folk-classical sound. Outside of music\, Pippa is also an avid hiker and backpacker whose songwriting is deeply influenced by her experiences on trail.  \n“On the Mountaintop\, Alone” is no exception. It pulls imagery from Occoneechee Mountain’s Mountain Loop Trail and overlook point in two contrasting tracks: one a raw\, folk-rock take on unforgiveness\, the other a quieter reflection on solitude. \nAt the show\, Pippa will perform her new single in full\, as well as old favorites from her first album and yet-to-be released songs\, all organized to chronicle her connection to the Triangle. Pippa will sing about leaving home\, cutting ties\, and the tenacious pursuit of her dreams\, with lyrics full of the North Carolina forests\, creeks\, and creatures she has come to love. She’ll be joined by guest musicians Franklin Bellflower (guitar)\, David Criswell (bass)\, and Justin Ellis of Ravary (drums) for a full-band sound.  \nOpening the show is Ravary\, the solo-with-friends project of NC musician Justin Ravary Ellis (Slow Teeth\, Easter Island\, Happy Abandon). Born in London and having spent the summers of his formative years with French-speaking family near Montreal\, Ravary’s music is equally inspired by the synths and guitars of the 90’s Britpop as the large folky hooks of Arcade Fire and traditional Quebecois and North Carolinian folk music. The project released its debut album “Hands To Feel” independently in June 2020; a follow-up single “Glowing” followed in 2022\, with its companion EP\, “Almanac”\, released in early 2025.  \nThere is a $12 suggested donation\, and the first 50 donors will receive a sticker featuring the On the Mountaintop\, Alone album art as a thank you.  \n“On the Mountaintop\, Alone” is available for preorder on Bandcamp now.  URL:https://visithillsboroughnc.com/event/on-the-mountaintop-alone-an-occoneechee-mountain-inspired-single-release-show/ LOCATION:Yonder: Southern Cocktails & Brew\, 114 W King St\, Hillsborough\, NC\, 27278\, United States CATEGORIES:Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://visithillsboroughnc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/OTMA-Facebook-Post.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
