Talking Culture is proudly sponsored by Duke Arts. The Spring Duke Arts Presents “Music NEAR the Gardens, The Pinhook Edition,” a special edition of Duke’s long running summer concert series, Music in the Gardens.

This week, Aaron welcomes A Different Thread (Alicia Best and Robert Jackson) to play their latest song, “Come On Home Molly.” Inspired by a recent falling-out with a friend, “Come On Home” is the duo’s latest single, with the recorded track due out May 6. They’ll be celebrating with a single-release show May 9 at the Blue Note Grill in Durham, but that’s not their only upcoming show: they’re also playing at the Haw River Fest in Saxapahaw on Saturday, May 3, and again at Shakori Hills on Sunday, May 4.
