Quick Facts About A Moving Portrait

• Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait was commissioned by Duke Performances and features Jenny Scheinman (violin/vocals), Robbie Fulks (guitar/banjo) and Robbie Gjersoe (resonator guitar) with film by Finn Taylor; it blends live music with H. Lee Waters’ archival Movies of Local People footage. (Duke Arts pages and press coverage) ([arts.duke.edu](https://arts.duke.edu/projects/jenny-scheinman-h-lee-waters-kannapolis/))
• The project’s live score was later captured in the album Here on Earth (2017) on Royal Potato Family; it originated from the 2015 world premiere at Duke and has since circulated as a concert piece across the U.S. (Duke Arts, Virginia Tech) ([arts.duke.edu](https://arts.duke.edu/projects/jenny-scheinman-h-lee-waters-kannapolis/))
• Major awards/recognitions in the performers’ careers include Robbie Fulks’ Grammy nominations for Upland Stories (Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Song) and Jenny Scheinman’s DownBeat Rising Star/Top Violinist recognition; these are independent of Kannapolis but relevant to the performers’ prestige.

• As of 2024–2025, Jenny Scheinman has released the All Species Parade album (2024) with singles such as Ornette Goes Home, Nocturne For 2020 and Shutdown Stomp; 2025 shows of All Species Parade have been announced (Baltimore, Richmond) alongside broader touring.

• For ticket buyers, there are no public 2025 Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait dates listed; the project has been touring in the past (2015–2019) and remains a touchstone in the artists’ live repertoire, with 2025 activity focused on All Species Parade.
