Cullman gathers by candlelight for ‘An Evening with Poe’

CULLMAN, Ala. – The night came on, as November nights do, cold and early and quiet. Inside Jubilee Kitchen + Bar, the candles were already lit. Tall tapers flickered against dark walls. Deep crimson cloth pooled across the tables like spilled wine, and a single red rose waited beside each small glass vase. At the bar, beneath a chandelier glowing like a cluster of pale moons, cocktails with names borrowed from the grave were shaken and poured. And then, as the hour of six drew near, the room fell still, and the voice of Edgar Allan Poe returned to the living. Jubilee and the Cullman County Public Library joined forces Monday, Nov. 2, for “An Evening with Poe,” a night of cocktails and dramatic readings celebrating the 19th-century master of mystery and the macabre. Guests gathered for a cocktail hour at 5 p.m. before readings began at 6. Even the drinks were steeped in dread. Jubilee’s “An Evening with Poe” specials menu, marked with a perched raven, offered five cocktails inspired by the author’s darkest works: The Black Cat: vodka, chocolate liqueur, cherry and heavy cream The Raven: blanco tequila, Cointreau, blackberry and lime The Pale Blue Eye: gin, elderflower

Born 90 Years Ago Today in Alabama, the Nashville Sound Architect Behind Hits by Tammy Wynette, George Jones, and Charlie Rich

On this day (November 5) in 1936, Billy Sherrill was born in Phil Campbell, Alabama. He was one of the handful of producers who helped create the Nashville Sound–a blend of pop and country that dominated the charts and airwaves in the 1960s. Notably, he worked closely with Tammy Wynette throughout her career. He also produced major hits for Charlie Rich. Sherrill also convinced George Jones to record “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” which became one of the greatest country songs of all time.

Cullman Community Theatre invites voices to bring Christmas magic to Christkindlmarkt

CULLMAN, Ala. – Picture it: twinkling lights strung across Depot Park, the scent of roasted nuts and warm cider drifting through the cold night air, and the soft glow of wooden huts dusted in holiday cheer. Then, just around the corner, a group of carolers in top hats and long Victorian skirts begins to sing. It’s like immersing yourself in a scene from a Hallmark Christmas movie. And this holiday season, in the heart of Cullman, you could be one of the voices. Cullman Community Theatre is inviting singers of all ages to join its Christmas Caroling group, which will spread holiday cheer at the Cullman Christkindlmarkt this season. “We’re getting ready to spread some holiday cheer at the Cullman Christkindlmarkt, and we’d love to have you join us!” the theatre shared.
