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

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.

Jason Isbell Pledges ‘Alabama Blue’ Album If Doug Jones Wins Governor Race

In 2020, Jason Isbell made a promise: If Joe Biden won Georgia in the presidential election, he would record an album of covers dedicated to the Peach State. Despite President Trump’s futile attempt to “find” additional Republican votes, Democrats took Georgia — and the White House. And Isbell made good on his pledge. He released the excellent Georgia Blue in October of 2021, which included his take on songs by Georgia artists alongside special guests Brittney Spencer, Brandi Carlile, Julien Baker, and Amanda Shires, who also designed the cover art. All proceeds went to Georgia-based charities Black Voters Matter, Stand-Up Georgia, and Fair Fight. Jason Isbell and Drive-By Truckers Reunite in Alabama Now Isbell, who hails from Alabama, is pledging another set of covers, one dedicated to his home state and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Doug Jones. “We will most happily record and release an Alabama Blue album, covering our favorite Alabama artists, if Doug Jones wins the governor’s race,” Isbell posted on social media. “Easiest decision of my life.” It’s not just lip service on Isbell’s part. He has been active on the campaign trail this year, appearing at events such as a September rally in Mobile, and the campaign’s
