To experience a diversity of native spring wildflowers here in Highlands, join staff botanist Max Lanning every Monday and Friday at 1:00pm for a tour of the Botanical Garden. Meet at the Nature Center located at 930 Horse cove Road and be sure to bring your cameras! Please note that the Nature Center itself is closed until May, but you should be able to find Max easily.
Can't make it on Mondays or Fridays? Max is eager to work with you! Private group tours are available throughout the week by appointment and can be reserved by calling 828.526.0188.
Live Music at Hummingbird Lounge in Highlands NC 6:00 pm Maestro 6pm – 8pm
Cy Timmons 8pm – close
As a young Alabama man born to a musical family, Cy Timmons was destined to have music in his veins. Everywhere he went Cy seemed to have a song resonating in his head.
Cy was thrilled when he discovered his dad’s guitar sitting in the back of a closet. It had been sitting idle for years but a new set of strings and the enthusiastic attention of a young music enthusiast gave the guitar new life. Once Cy felt that he had mastered this steel stringed acoustic guitar, he set his sights on an electric guitar. He lobbied his parents until he got the guitar he wanted as a gift for his nineteenth birthday. From the electric guitar Cy migrated to the classical guitar. That has been his mainstay from then on.
Over the years Cy has developed a repertoire of jazz, old standards, and contemporary pop, as well as his original compositions. Followers of Cy will attest to the fact that he has a special gift for invigorating you with his music. In addition to his music, Cy has a flair for comedic interaction. He’ll mellow you out with a song and then liven you up with a joke.
If you have been around Highlands for several years, you are sure to have heard Cy perform in one venue or another. He doesn’t limit himself to the Plateau either. Clubs on both the east and west coast have seen Cy perform as he has pursued his study of the guitar.
The soft melodic tones of Cy’s voice are the result of natural talent and studies with the late Judy Davis in Oakland, voice coach to many vocalists including Barbara Streisand. He has worked many musical venues in San Francisco and in Los Angeles. He was even the opening act for folks like Joan Rivers, Peter Nero, Al Jarreau and David Steinbereg.
Lucky for us, in 1970 Cy decided to move back to Atlanta and eventually opened Café Erewhon where he wowed audiences for eleven years before moving to Highlands, in 1993. He and his wife, Carolyn, reside in the Scaly Mountain community.
After playing a number of venues in our area Cy now can be heard exclusively at The Old Edwards Inn in The Hummingbird Lounge, on Fridays and Saturdays from 8:00 p.m. until closing.
Come enjoy Cy’s melodious tones as you enjoy your favorite beverage. There’s nothing more enjoyable after a busy day, than to relax to the tunes of Cy and his guitar. To learn more about Cy go to www.cytimmonssings.com. You may reach Cy at (828) 526-4503 or write to him at P O Box 303 Scaly Mountain, N.C. 28775.
