Emerge Gallery, located on Evans St. in downtown Greenville, will host its annual Congressional High School exhibit this week sponsored by NC Congressman Walter B. Jones.

Gavin DeGraw hit it big with 2003's "I Don't Want to Be," an anti-fronting hymn with the lengthy chorus "I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately."
