Hieronymus Bogs

Orchestral Folk/Performance Art

Music: 7:00pm/ by Donation

Hieronymus Bogs's eclectic blend of orchestral folk, spoken word, and performance art nearly evades traditional classification altogether. Evoking an ancient crooner, Bogs's voice sits comfortably between Roy Orbison and Scott Walker, with hints of Antony and the Johnsons's theatricality. Commandingly fusing mystically inspired lyricism and delicately stark instrumentation, his songs set emotions free in an almost hypnotic way.

Sophia Whiting, community liaison for Ambercare HospiceSilver City -- The next meeting of the monthly "Life Cafe" takes place Thursday, February 22, at 4:00 pm at the Silver City Public Library, when Sophia Whiting, community liaison for Ambercare Hospice, will discuss "myths and facts" about hospice care.

Whiting has been in senior services since 2001, and owned a geriatric care management company in South Florida for nine years, then worked as a hospice social worker in Gainesville, Florida, before moving to Raleigh, North Carolina, where she was employed as a hospice, home health and palliative care representative.  She and her husband, Chuck, moved to Silver City in 2022, and she joined Ambercare in August of last year.

"There are many misconceptions about hospice care," said Whiting, "and my goal is to help people understand the many ways that hospice care can help families, not just in the final days of life."
