Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 | by matthew mcglynn

The Frogville studio is a case-study on the notion that doing something yourself is the best way to make it happen. Starting with borrowed gear and what they describe as a less-than-adequate understanding of how any of it worked, studio founders John Treadwell and Bill Palmer have elaborated those humble beginnings into a shockingly great production facility that frankly blows my mind every time I spin one of their discs.

Treadwell, an artist and self-described “professional listener,” is also the cofounder of the Frogville Planet label. He teamed up with musician Nathan Moore in 2002 to promote a small group of unsigned regional bands. Faced immediately with the need to record, they took a leap of faith and set up a temporary home studio, reasoning that their limited budget would last a lot longer if they didn’t spend it on hourly fees at the commercial studios in town.

Palmer, a member of Hundred Year Flood, one of the original Frogville bands, stepped into the role of lead engineer for the fledgling studio. His first record proved the concept that it’s possible to make a great record at home. His partnership with Treadwell has made the studio what it is today — a place that evokes wonderfully emotive performances from its artists, then captures those performances beautifully using a fully respectable collection of professional mics and outboard gear. The studio is unpretentious by design, but more importantly, it helps John and Bill create a relaxed vibe that absolutely translates into the finished mixes.

The label has enjoyed a lot of success, including awards from the local music press, nationwide radio play and presence on the charts, and a fan base large enough to support its annual FrogFest music festival. And they’re not stopping — just “five years into the 10-year plan,” they’re continuing to crank out new music, and they’ve begun working with outside producers to help fuel their own creative growth.

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.

Through Roses has received worldwide acclaim in the 27 years since it was written. It has been performed hundreds of times throughout the world, and has been translated into 11 languages. It has not been performed in New York since its premiere 27 years ago, when the New York Times praised it as “an extraordinary achievement.”

Through Roses features the noted theater, film and television actor Saul Rubinek as violinist Carl Stern, tormented by his horrific memories of Auschwitz, where through the rose hedges of the camp commandant’s garden, he witnessed the arrival of his fellow prisoners of war, the selection process and their inevitable journey to the gas chambers. England’s Channel 4 and Germany’s WDR co-produced the Christopher Nupen documentary film of Through Roses. It won the prize for Best Music at the Besancon Festival in France and a Golden Bear at the New York Television Film Festival. A motion picture version was produced by Cinecentrum (Germany) and directed by Jergen Flimm, with Academy Award winners Meximilian Schell and Cinematographer David Watkin (Out of Africa).

Koch is releasing a new recording of Through Roses this November 2008. It was recorded in Santa Fe after a performance on August 24th at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. Several of the musicians on the recording will be performing in New York. Should you be planning a trip to New York during mid-November, don’t miss this incredible performance!

“Prior to joining the Festival, I held a variety of positions, all in the arts/advertising/communications fields, including running my own public relations company in New York.”

You also worked in theatre for a bit, didn’t you?
“Yes, for about a year and a half. I served as Yul Brenner’s personal assistant during the London Paladium production of ‘The King and I.’ It was a wonderful experience all the way around, from working closely with such a talented actor to living in London.”

How long have you lived in New Mexico?
“I’ve been a New Mexico resident for over 18 years. My husband, Rudy, and I live here in Santa Fe. It’s not only a great town for music and culture but it’s a great place to live as well!”

Did you have a favorite performance from the 2008 season?
“There were so many wonderful performances, but I’d have to say my favorite was the Dohnanyi Piano Quintet No. 2 on August 14th at the Lensic performed by violinists Daniel Phillips and Benny Kim, violist Steven Tenenbom, cellist Eric Kim and pianist Jon Nakamatsu.”

What three words would you use to describe the Festival?
“Three words! - I’ve had too many wonderful experiences with the Festival to describe it in only three words.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Others check the pumpkin patch: will there be enough time for those pumpkins to turn orange? A few dedicated souls will be volunteering for their candidate’s cause. Even more people will show up at Santa Fe Brewing Co Bar and grill…listen to why.

TONIGHT! Monday September 22 7:30 PM $8

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.

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.

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

Musekiwa Chingodza is a well-known Zimbabwean mbira and marimba player and teacher.
He was born in 1970 in Zimbabwe. He holds amazing Energy of the Ancestral Spirit that he
shares in his music and in the honesty of his voice.Musekiwa Chingodza was born into a family
of great mbira players in Mwangara village, Murewa, Zimbabwe, in 1970. He began playing mbira
at the age of five and is self-taught. Through listening to other gwenyambira, or great mbira players,
he developed a strong attachment to and love for mbira music. He says, “Our music is both medicine
and food, as mbira has the power to heal and to provide for people. Mbira pleases both the living
and the dead.” In 1991, Musekiwa was a key member of the band Panjea, founded by Chris Berry.
He composed the hit song “Ganda” on Panjea’s Zimbabwean album. Currently Musekiwa teaches mbira
at Prince Edward School in Harare. He is an excellent singer, dancer, drummer, and he plays both
mbira dzavadzimu and nyunga nyunga.

GREEN MOUNTAIN GRASS
Live acoustic gonzograss from Austin, TX! Eclectic melodies, creative harmonies, explosive jams, and a thoroghly danceable experience. The four band members in GREEN MOUNTAIN GRASS are Dave Wilmoth (29, mandolin), Adam “Pickles” Moss (24, fiddle), Trevor Smith (18, banjo/guitar), and Jesse Dalton (25, upright bass). Together, they are exploring the sounds of traditional bluegrass, gypsy swing, folk, funk, reggae, and jazz to discover their own genre-bending sound. While some listeners haven taken to calling this sound “gonzograss,” the end result is described by the band as “melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic mastery with elements of sarcasm, quotes, humor, and exaggeration.”
Whether they are in front of an attentive listening-room audience, on a tall stage playing to a throng of sun-baked festival-goers, or in a local venue orchestrating a gonzograss dance party for their fans, something exciting and inspiring is always being created. www.myspce.com/greengrassplayers

Dr. James Biggs of the Conservation Partnership
Dr. James Biggs has been involved in a wide-range of local and regional wildlife science and management projects in New Mexico. Much of his current research pertains to the distribution, movement patterns, and habitat use patterns of large herbivores. His interests center on wildlife-habitat interactions and ecosystem approaches to managing wildlife and habitat resources, in addition to habitat conservation, which he believes is directly linked to sustainable living through responsible development and the “localization” vs. “globalization” of our food and natural resources production and distribution.

Dr. Biggs recently left Los Alamos National Laboratory after a 17 year career as a wildlife biologist to focus his efforts on rangeland conservation. Dr. Biggs started “The Conservation Partnership, LLC” to provide technical support to landowners and developers at all levels of land management, from land use planning to long-term ecological monitoring. His goal is to work with interested parties to ensure long-term conservation of our natural resources.
