Geoff Muldaur at the Outpost
Geoff Muldaur is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes in Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY. Guitarist, Richard Thompson says of Muldaur, “There are only three white blues singers, and Geoff Muldaur is at least two of them.” Muldaur made a series of highly influential recordings as a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and Paul Butterfield’s Better Days group, as well as collaborations with then- wife Maria (”Midnight at the Oasis”) Muldaur. In the 1980’s he left the road and concentrated on composing film and television scores, garnering an Emmy in the process. He produced offbeat albums for Lenny Pickett and the Borneo Horns and the Richard Greene String Quartet, and his definitive recording of “Brazil” provided the seed for Terry Gilliam’s film of the same name. Muldaur re-entered the touring world in the mid-1990s with his magical voice and singular approach to American music completely intact. He recently toured Japan, Scotland, Ireland, England and Sweden as well as the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. Muldaur has appeared at Lincoln Center, the Getty Art Center, London’s Royal Festival Hall, and folk and blues festivals worldwide. He can also be heard regularly as a guest on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion. His recordings, The Secret Handshake and Password, feature his unusually crafted interpretations of classic, oftentimes obscure, American material, as well as his own unique compositions. His 2003 release, Private Astronomy, on the Deutsche Gramophone ‘classical’ label is a departure from his folk roots and instead features his unique arrangements for chamber ensemble of the obscure piano compositions of the great 1920’s jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke. “Geoff Muldaur was and is one of my musical heroes,” writes Loudon Wainwright III
. “When I listen to him sing and play, I can hear the coal mine, the cotton field, and last, but certainly foremost, the boy’s boarding school.” Check him out on You Tube.

Deborah Donelson featured at Matrix
One of my favorite local artists opens at Matrix Fine Art with a show titled Tracks/Traces/Vestiges. Donelson’s oil paintings feature female subjects that are sometimes part animal and part other. Known for large scale canvases, this show features some pieces as small as 10×10 so if you have been an admirer of her work, now is your chance to add her to your collection. At least go by and meet her and see the creations of her imagination. The reception is part of First Friday Artscrawl openings across the city.

Miguel Zenón Quartet at the Outpost
There have been few new voices in the jazz world that have caused as much of a stir and possessed as much individuality as saxophonist, Miguel Zenón. A native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón studied at the famed Escuela Libre de Musica, and later at the Berklee School of Music where he received numerous awards and honors. He became active in the Boston jazz scene and gained professional experience with drummer Bob Moses’ Mozamba Ensemble and the Either/Orchestra. After graduating from Berklee, Zenón received a Masters Degree from the Manhattan School of Music. In his relatively short career he has performed and/or recorded with a diverse array of artists including David Sanchez, Danilo Perez, Charlie Haden, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Bobby Hutcherson, The Mingus Big Band, Steve Coleman and Branford Marsalis. In 2004, Zenón became one of the founding members of the SFJAZZ Collective with whom he has toured the US, Canada, Asia, and Europe. As a leader, he has released four CDs including Jíbaro, which features a bold reinterpretation of the rural music of his native Puerto Rico and which helped earn him the overall Best New Artist award in the 2006 JazzTimes poll. He has been on the top of the Downbeat Critic’s Poll in the Rising Star Alto Sax category for four years, including most recently in 2008. This year, Zenón recieved a fellowship from the prestigious John Simon Guggenheim Foundation to work on his next project, which will focus on the Plena music of Puerto Rico also releasing Awake, which features Luis Perdomo, piano; Hans Glawischnig, bass and Henry Cole; drums, all of whom will be performing with him.

Letters of Honor in recognition of Veterans Day
The New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services (NMDVS) is honored to announce the premiere showing of a unique documentary movie about New Mexico soldiers sent away to war-and their heartfelt letters to loved ones back home in New Mexico. Letters of Honor will air Sunday November 9th on Albuquerque public television station KNME. The hour-long documentary will tell highly-personal stories in the soldiers’ own words, in letters to–and read on camera by–loved ones and family members. The letters are from soldiers serving as far back as World War One (two featured letters in the documentary) to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Footage of actual letters, old photographs, personal mementos, and stunning shots of the New Mexico landscape combine to make Letters of Honor a powerfully moving tale of the soldiers’ love and longing of family-and sense of duty to their country. Directed by Tony Martinez, a 1975 graduate of Santa Fe High School. He made Letters of Honor as a labor of love not only for his own father, but for all New Mexican soldiers who’ve fought in battle.
Airing Sunday, Nov. 9 on KNME-TV, 3pm

Another opportunity to hear Chirgilchin
Chirgilchin were the runaway hit of ¡Globalquerque! 2006. Everyone was captivated by their otherworldly vocal techniques. Atmospheric and mesmeric, throat singing is almost too difficult to describe in words. It must be heard to be believed-the music, produced by resonating low sounds in the throat, creates a middle note and a haunting, flute-like harmonic. Chirgilchin (meaning “mirage” or “miracle”) is a group of musicians from Tuva, a small Russian province north of Western Mongolia. Singing the ancient folk songs in the Tuvan language, the group also plays hand made instruments. The ensemble has appeared in concert throughout the United States, Russia, Finland, Belgium, France, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, and Canada. Presented by AMP Concerts.

Their ninth studio album, Fortune’s Favour, sees them boldly embracing new sounds and new ideas, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of their own art and music.

Joel Harrison’s Vox Americana at the Outpost
Guitarist, composer and vocalist, Joel Harrison’s music defies categorization. Equally at home writing songs or complex chamber music; playing modern jazz or bar blues, the Washington D.C. native, who now lives in New York City, graduated from Bard College in 1980 with a BA in composition and performance. Vox Americana is a 65-minute, multi- movement suite whose stylistic palette, while based in jazz aesthetics, ranges through classical, Appalachian, African, and Latin American retaining its own unique probing voice. Vox Americana addresses questions of American identity, and ranges in mood from dark and elegaic to explosive and affirmative. Accompanying the music is a text that was culled, in non-linear fashion, from asking hundreds of people the following questions: Who are you? What does it mean to be an American? Where is our country headed? Vox Americana features some of the most prominent members of the new generation of New York musicians - Joel Harrison, guitar & vocals; Dave Binney, saxophone; Heun Choi, cello; Chris Howes, violin; Daniel Kelly, piano; Jerome Harris, bass; and Jordan Perlson, drums.

They draw their repertoire from an area of Spain where Moroccans, Celts, Europeans and Africans have all left their mark, and from the rich rituals that celebrate all aspects of life with exquisite melodies and irrestible rhythms.

Beautiful Losers next Art in Film offering
Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.

YDI Mi Voz Auditions for Fall 2008 Session
Youth Development Inc.’s (YDI) Mi Voz program teaches above-the-line filmmaking skills to middle school age kids. This will be the fourth 16-week session for YDI Mi Voz. Each session has a theme: The Fall 2008 session’s theme is The Zia’s Heart and is about New Mexican art and artists. The Zia’s Heart is a series of short documentaries that will be produced, directed, shot, edited and delivered by a group of middle school age students in Albuquerque. Each short documentary will spotlight a different art form produced by a local artist. Students will shadow chosen artists in different fields and document their creativity, their craft, and how it ties in to identifying Albuquerque and New Mexico as unique in the arts scene. YDI Mi Voz is a safe and free after school program for middle school age young people where they learn all aspects of visual storytelling using digital video. The purposes of the program are: 1. It contributes to building a “native workforce” for New Mexico’s blossoming film industry, giving young people a head start in using industry standard tools and techniques. 2. The finished products will expose New Mexico’s art and artists to a broader audience, letting its audience know the value of what has become such a large part of our city and state identities. 3. By providing Mi Voz classes under the YDI banner, students and their families have access to the wide range of social services YDI provides. We are actively seeking out participants for this session. During the 16-week after school course, students will be taught producing, directing, shooting, and editing using top of the line digital video equipment. The course is free to participants, but interested students must audition first to gauge their interest and dedication. 14 students will be selected. Classes are taught by Marcos Baca and Brian Beeler, working professionals in the area of digital art and filmmaking. 4 youth instructors who have participated previously will be at every class to mentor new students, as well as guest lectures by UNM Cinematic Arts Professors and other independent producers.

SARAH BORGES

& The BROKEN SINGLES
ROCK/COUNTRY/ROCKABILLY

Some folks make music because they want to — others do it because they have no choice. Sarah Borges clearly falls into the latter category, the kind of person whose DNA would read like a musical chart if you mapped it out on paper.

Diamonds in the Dark, Borges’ second album — and first for Sugar Hill — spells that out in lush detail, with every plaintive vocal twist and every rollicking guitar turn offering up proof that the Massachusetts native knows her way around American music’s roots (and has her own roots planted firmly in some mighty fertile soil). That terrain, like the landscape she and her band, The Broken Singles have traversed over the past few years, is plenty varied — taking in scenes as diverse as the roadhouse melancholy of “Belle of the Bar” to the unashamedly guileless romanticism of “The Day We Met.”

Ira Gordon at KBAC highly reccomends this band to everyone!

JOE BONAMASSA
Joe Bonamassa has just won the
Guitar Players Reader’s Choice Award
BEST BLUES GUITARIST for 2008,
for the second year in a row!!

WITH OPENING SET BY
THE RYAN McGARVEY BAND

Voted by Guitar Player readers as 2007’s Best Blues Guitarist, blues-rock guitar virtuoso, vocalist, and songwriter JOE BONAMASSA is set to release his seventh solo album, SLOE GIN, on August 21, 2007. Bonamassa’s fourth release, the disc re-teams him with producer Kevin Shirley (Joe Satriani, Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Leppelin), who produced 2006’s YOU & ME, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Blues Chart in June of last year.

SLOE GIN effortlessly ranges through heavy blues and acoustic numbers alike, a textured flow that Bonamassa says was in part inspired by Rod Stewart’s legendary 1969 debut solo LP. In the liner notes, Joe adds, “I sequenced the album as a throwback to the side A/side B set-up of vinyl records…listening to an album as a whole is a lost pastime. I wanted to bring that experience back around.”

Renowned for this fluid phrasing and post-modern fusion of traditional roots blues with rock and roll guts, Bonamassa began playing guitar at age four, and toured with blues icon B.B. King when he was twelve. Recently, Joe was named Best Blues Guitarist in Guitar Magazine’s 2007 Reader’s Choice Awards. He is also the youngest member of the Memphis, TN-based Blues Foundation’s Board of Directors, and a spokesperson for their respected Blues in the Schools Program.

CATCH JOE BONAMASSA ON 98.1 RADIO FREE SANTA FE TUESDAY MORNING AT 11 AM WITH JOANN THE LUNCH LADY AND JUSTIN FROM THE PUB & GRILL!

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS

DJ EL MONO SUCIO - NATIVE FIRE with

ONE FOUNDATION BAND - MEZKLAH

La Junta began early 2004 with a sound combining various musical styles. Influenced by so many genres, including jazz, blues, rock, reggae, Latin and hip-hop music, every song is significantly different from the next. Attempting to blend each sound, La Junta believes they have found something very refreshing in an industry of cardboard cutouts. With their unique style as a backdrop, La Junta reflects what they observe in everyday life as well as represent who they and where they come from in a positive way. This is the beginning of “SouthwestFunkHop”.

Recently La Junta released a new full length, industry standard album entitled “What it is” (May 9th, 2008). “What it is” can be described as: a plethora of outspoken word driven by no need for unique musical critique. Various voluptuous vehicles transport by way of rock, reggae, Latin and hip-hop music…but the truth is that without it, we’re clueless. The constant energy of “What it is” keeps the listener interested by constantly introducing new flavors, emotions, and routes in which to explore while maintaining a great vibe all the way through. Overall, “What it is” is a powerful stepping stone for La Junta.
Though the album is an amazing fingerprint for La Junta, nothing compares to the energy, fun, and musicianship of a live La Junta show, fans often compare La Junta to groups such as Ozomatli, 311, O.A.R., Dave Mathews, and Sublime. Because of this La Juntas fan base continues to grow exponentially, based on a consistent incline of CD sales and attendance at live performances.

M E Z K L A HFROM LOS ANGELES

Mezklah embodies L.A.’s evolutionary and revolutionary musical and artistic expression. As performers, vocalist/songwriter/visual artist Angel Garcia and guitarist Greg Hernandez reveal a raw presence as well as a futuristic visual and musical vision. This vision is accompanied by Matias Pizarro on Drums/Electronics and percussions and Juan Carlos Ramirez on Standard/synth Bass and trumpet.

Angel paints tribal illustrations all over the bands bodies before every performance. “I think there’s a basic tribal nature that lives in our consciousness and is in our blood,” Explains Angel. “When I am body-painting, it is not just a calming, meditative process I go through before performing.

THE WARSAW

POLAND BROTHERS

KILLER PUNK-DUB-SKA Warsaw Poland Bros. have played everywhere, with everyone in most of North America and Hawaii, while releasing several nationally distributed cd’s fueled by their own indie start up label, Invisible Mass Records. Warsaw’s dedication to a hobby-job-lifestyle has been, and will continue to be the driving force to perform live, coast to coast, towns to cities, day after night, mixing and releasing albums along the way. With over 300 shows a year, multiple gigs a day and merely days off in between, they are true road dogs, not an understatement, as Warsaw has been voted one of Jam Base’s top 10 touring bands. The ever-changing cast of characters that travel with the group lends the band to effortlessly moving through a wide range of styles. Warsaw is the ultimate definition of the DIY attitude, taking everything in-house from booking to engineering and producing their music. The Brothers and their work-horse musicians have collaborated with people all over the world and recording in every setting imaginable, from a backstage green room to Warsaw 1 (Warsaw’s van). With a dedicated street team, fan base, and unmatchable live show and talent pool, Warsaw is a testament to an incredible DIY lifestyle. When Warsaw comes to town, you’ll be dancing, drinking, and partying with a zeal you never knew you had, so you might as well call in sick, because they’ll be coming around soon…

Kathryne Cyman’s show at Weyrich worth seeing
Kathryne Cyman follows a 400-year old Japanese tradition to create translucent porcelain plates, cups and bowls - bringing to the process wonderful glazes made from materials she gathers in the Sandia Mountains and the volcanos on the west mesa. Cyman is being honored by AABA as a Local Treasure and I had the opportunity to visit with her before the opening of the Weyrich show. It is obvious that she is not only a master of the art, but that it is truly a labor of love. She has studied with porcelain masters in Arita, Japan where the process was created more than 400 years ago when a large porcelain clay deposit was discovered near the town of Arita. That clay is now only available to Japanese masters but a porcelain clay body with similar properties has been developed in the US, providing material for students and professionals using the Arita method. Cyman was selected by her professor, Jim Srubek, and Manji Inoue (a National Living Treasure from Japan) to continue Srubek’s Arita program at UNM. This is the only such program that exists in the US. The gallery is open Tue-Fri from 10:30 to 5:30 and Saturdays 11- 5:30. You can also call for an appointment.

Legal Hawks screens at the KiMo
Local production company A+ #1 Productions will be previewing their independent television pilot Legal Hawks on Sept. 21. The year is 1986 and a new television network called Fox is desperate for content. They approach the biggest hair band of the era, Von Holland, to do a weekly concert. Von Holland decides instead to do a legal drama and the series is born. Legal Hawks was written and directed by Josh Klein and stars local actors Isaac Kappy and Ross Kelly. Also appearing are Bill Sterchi, April Fox, Reuben Finkelstein, Shenoah Allen, Mark Chavez, David Kappy and Victor Izay. The pilot was shot by local cinematographer Corey Weintraub and was produced by Isaac Kappy. Students from CNM’s film training program worked alongside industry professionals during the making of the pilot. The screening at the KiMo is free of charge and open to the public, however, the filmmakers will be using the event as a fundraiser for a Farmington fireman whose family is grappling with financial duress after medical complications that led to the loss of their unborn child. Also showing at the screening will be the premiere of Hide, the latest short film from Trifecta Plus Entertainment, directed by Scott Milder, and Time Assassins, a short film directed by Reuben Finkelstein.

AMERICANA - SINGER/SONGWRITER

The Gougers used to have a big, fancy bio. It cost $200 and had big words like “analogous” and “suffused” in it. It also had “sidehill.” They decided that was lame and so they deleted it.

One day at Zapato’s Cantina in College Station, TX, Shane heard Jamie sing and asked her to come play in a band with him. She said “yes” and so they went back to Shane’s house and listened to some records. They jammed out to Gram and Emmylou one day. Then Gillian and Dave the next. They tried to pretty much copy what they heard because it made them feel like highlanders feel when they are near other immortals.

One day they hired this kid, Brian, to play fiddle. He played fiddle as good as Jamie sang and as good as Shane quoted dead philosophers. But he turned out to be a lame quitter and went to the Jug Band to make more money and get more women. He was immature.

So then they met Cody. They hired him because his dad played in the NFL and they thought that was cool. Later he taught Shane about Rock n Roll. He said, “The best bands don’t ever get signed.”

Then Shane’s mom co-signed and they bought a van. They met the Dedringers who drew nasty pictures in the dirt on the side of it. But Wrecks liked them so they were allowed to stay. They were good, too, and it was funny to watch Jonny gurm Townes’s son. And their girl jeans were hilarious!

One day the invisible gouger said that they needed a drummer. He told them that if they put the feathers of a Mexican fighting rooster in a Crown Royal bag and buried it while saying some shit in Spanish, then a drummer would appear in three business days. And that’s how they got Silva. They solidified the closing of the circle with a tattoo ceremony about heartache and the loss of god. That woulda been it. But Lance shows up and says, “You’re doing this all wrong.” The rest has been a work in progress. And so, kids, this is the story of the Gougers. We ooze positivity. www.thegougers.com

THE SOUTH AUSTIN JUG BAND

Let’s just get it out of the way right now: There’s no jug-playing in the South Austin Jug Band. And the bluegrass connotation that name carries should be spilled down the drain along with any other moonshine-preconceived notions. Sure, there’s fiddle, mandolin, an upright bass … but there’s also drumming, occasional electric guitar and even digital looping. And Beck. The band’s latest album, Strange Invitation, gets its title from a lyric in Mr. Hansen’s 1997 charmer, “Jackass,” the only cover on this 11-song collection.
Comparisons, if they must be made, might meander more toward a low-intensity Grateful Dead (which, it should be noted, started out as a real jug band) or something with an even more melodic and laid-back vibe. Lead singer/acoustic guitarist James Hyland, whose tenor redefines mellow, would be quite happy if you’d just go with “bitchin’ tunes.” www.southaustinjugband.com

NM Short Film wins Best of Show in Utah
Things We Do For Love won the Best of Show Grand Jury prize as well as Audience Favorite awards at the 2008 Fear No Film Festival in Salt Lake City. The short film was written and directed by NM filmmaker Don Gray and was shot in conjunction with the NM Film Technician Training Program at Northern New Mexico Community College in El Rito. It is about how far one family is willing to go to show their love for one another. Set in a small town in Northern New Mexico - coffins, fresh graves and a parade of odd funerals provide the backdrop for the story. The film was shot over five days in El Rito, Ojo Caliente and Abiquiu.

Twilight - Paintings and Drawings by Emily Trovillion
The show is entitled Twilight in order to reflect the transformative time when the world becomes more melancholy as daylight fades. Trovillion’s paintings are abstract yet familiar. The characters are archetypes meant to portray everyone and no one. You should take in this show - to contemplate the images and to meet the artist. I guarantee you will like them both!

Old Town hosts Artscrawl Good Friday evening
The Hanging Tree Gallery will be showing two rare Romero de Romero paintings. When Esquipula Romero de Romero died in 1975, he was remembered for contributions to Albuquerque as a builder, gallery owner and artist. Born in Cabezon, NM in 1889, by the 1930s he had a reputation for landscapes, portraits and depictions of the Penitentes. He operated an art gallery at 1731 Central NW (now Manzano Day School), a building he designed and constructed. Like hundreds of artists, Romero worked under the WPA during the Great Depression. Hispanic artists of that era were often slighted and most were not even documented by the WPA. His work is now in demand and when you see it, you will understand why. To read more about New Mexico’s WPA artists go to wpasinnombre.o rg . Also featured will be works by contemporary artists Hector Morales and Anne Sandry. For information on all the galleries participating in the Artscrawl go to the Artscrawl website.

Jane Abrams has earned numerous awards, including two senior National Endowment for the Arts Grants. She is professor emeritus at UNM where she taught painting and drawing from 1971-93 Carol Flueckiger is a member of the faculty for the Art Department at Texas Tech University. Her work combines traditional methods of painting with alternative photographic processes. In 2001, Ana María Hernando began a collaboration with a group of cloistered nuns in Argentina and with women in the Andes of Peru whose embroidered patterns and weaving became the basis for her installation in this exhibition. Naomi Natale is a photographer and the founder of The Cradle Project, an exhibition to promote awareness and raise financial support to help feed, shelter and educate orphans in sub-Saharan Africa. Giving Shelter is on view at 516 ARTS through March 29.

A lively, engaging, documentary, Bomb It is about the worldwide phenomena of street art, graffiti, mural, and tagging that not only speaks and is spoken to by practitioners and fans of the form but also it’s vehement critics and haters. Some of the work is refined and subtle and some of it is outrageously direct and purposely crude. Working Classroom has joined us in sponsoring this controversial film.
