Pathos and Eros opens at Matrix Fine Art
October’s show at Matrix features the paintings of Rodney Wood and masks by Judith Rauchfuss. Both artists are exceptionally skilled - but I have to confess that looking at Wood’s paintings makes me want to go home, put away my easel and give my brushes to Goodwill (or someone). You must check out his work, either during the First Friday Artscrawl opening or before November 1. There are a total of 26 First Friday Artscrawl openings tonight including a show for Wes Pulkka at AIA Albuquerque. Details on all 26 are on the Artscrawl website.

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. Tickets available at South Broadway Cultural Center and the amp website. .

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.

La Musgana at NHCC
Formed in 1986, La Musgana (The Water Rat) is central Spain’s most renowned folk music ensemble. The Madrid-based group performs arrangements of indigenous Spanish music dating back to the Middle Ages, on traditional and modern instruments. 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.

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.

The lovely gardens they relaxed in, in Albuquerque NM and Santa Fe, and Taos.

The long and gorgeous ride along the Rio Grande up to Taos.

The summer Indian Dances at Pojaque Pueblo.

The great pub with local jazz musicans.

The three affordable NM Casino concerts in and out of Albuquerque.

The night at the Opera where they volunteered and ushered at the show and got to see it for free. The party that followed where they had extensive chats with the aprrentices.

Camping in the national forests, and the coyote visitor.

Yes there is more stuff to do in a 30 mile radius of most towns here than most often imagine. Santa Fe Sierra Club has a book dedicated to day hikes in Santa Fe. Many miss the wonderous tour and dinner at Santa Clara Pueblo and fewer still know about their campground magnificant! It might do good to talk to someone like me to discover secret places in New Mexico.

Want to see more? Go to Youtube.com and do a search for Road Trips New Mexico. Start on page 2.

Following this should be some events from the alibi. Also the city of Santa Fe and many other organizations are going to build a new building for Santa Fe Teens. Bravo! Read about it in ALbuquerque arts. www.abqarts.com or maybe it was www.alibi.com.

So Wednesday night’s line-up would make most of younger co-workers say ALbuquerque is an oldsters town. (That’s a big complaint about Santa Fe). There’s lots of open mikes, jams, and DJ’s playing their normal gigs. I try to include a variety of events and music. Lots of people are back to school, and Wednesday now takes a new color: work.

Please notice Trish Yearwood is playing at the Sandia Casino, please come give a warm welcome.

One incredible newsbite is: Studio 21 will have a new expanded 2 story building built for teen programs in the creative arts in Santa Fe. This is an amazing program supported by many organizations: including the city of Santa Fe! BRAVO! Read about it in the alibil.com (Every city should have a program like this!)

Ending thought: How many innocent people more since 9/11 have died? Are we safer now than then? Are we a stronger more peaceful country than then? Is the world safer? Are the terrorists stronger? Are there more terrorists than then?

However you respond, can we build peace with honor, and create unity in our homeland? How? On these days, especially this week, gather your prayers and love and share with one another.

The ERIC McFADDEN TRIO

Like protagonists from some epic western novel, the Eric McFadden Trio arrives on the jaded contemporary music scene preceded by anxious rumors and curious anticipation. A veteran of celebrated underground bands including Liar, the Eric McFadden Experience, Alien Lovestock and IZM, Eric McFadden’s sinister songs, vampiric vocals and flamenco-rock guitar improvisations have made him an icon along America’s western seaboard. Lest you dismiss the preceding as absurd hyperbole, consider the fact that McFadden has performed and recorded with the lordly likes of Bo Diddley, the late Joe Strummer, Widespread Panic, psychobilly rockers The Reverend Horton Heat, blues troubadour Keb Mo’, Rolling Stone Ron Wood, Primus kahuna Les Claypool and others. He was voted “Best Guitarist” by the New Mexico Weekly and “Guitarist of the Year” by San Francisco’s Zero magazine. And in 2000, McFadden was recruited as a touring member of George Clinton’s P-Funk All Stars, a distinction that thrusts McFadden into the pantheon of funk-rock guitar idols.
Now, McFadden has teamed with acoustic bassist James Whiton and drummer Paulo Baldi to form a trio whose electro-acoustic sound, impressionistic songs and virtuoso antics suggest an obscenely voluptuous hybrid of the Clash, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Black Sabbath, Q.O.T.S.A., Tom Waits, Django Reinhardt and spaghetti western composer Sergio Leone.

CADILLAC SKY

AMAZING BLUEGRASS!
Blessed with an embarrassment of riches, such as ear bending songwriting, head turning vocals, and eye-popping instrumentalists, the heart pounding music of Cadillac Sky is an exhilarating experience for all the senses.
Born in October of 2002, Cadillac Sky over the past few years has entrenched itself as a major force in the world of bluegrass music. C-Sky is the creation of Bryan Simpson (mandolin, fiddle, vocals), Matt Menefee (banjo), Mike Jump (guitar, vocals), Clint Sturgeon (electric bass, vocals), and Ross Holmes (fiddle, vocals). Their original sound is a product of their upbringing; being raised and steeped in the staunch, honest sounds of bluegrass stalwarts such as Bill Monroe and Flatt and Scruggs, all the while, keeping a curious ear and an open mind, and consistently sneaking out from under the watchful eyes of their elders and discovering the groundbreaking sounds of New Grass Revival, The David Grisman Quintet, and artists from other genres such as The Beatles. Their deep respect for the music of their bluegrass forefathers, and their eagerness to find a sound all their own has created a dizzying combination. Their energetic onstage persona and melodic sensibilities will bring an audience to their feet while their instrumental expertise and musical maturity will satisfy the most jaded of critics. Their critically acclaimed, debut CD, “Talent Show” was hailed by Bluegrass Unlimited with comments like, “a powerful sound with rich and accurate lead singing, engaging composing, whip crack instrumental precision, soulful harmonies, and an attention to arranging that dazzles without distracting.”
The band was chosen as one of the twelve acts from hundreds of applicants, to showcase at the 2004 IBMA World of Bluegrass Trade Show, a very prestigious honor. And have recently been featured in publications such as Bluegrass Unlimited, Bluegrass Now, and Banjo Newsletter.

New Mexico’s premier roots music festival kicks off each year at the famous Eaves Movie Ranch near Santa Fe, where many westerns have been filmed. In addition to three days of internationally acclaimed roots music on multiple stages all weekend long, the festival boasts camping, kids’ activities, healthy food, NM microbrews & wines, and local crafts. Kids under 12 get in free, so bring the young ones and turn them on to great music. There’s plenty of opportunity for a cool drink in the saloon and to get out of the sun, but the main stage is outdoors. So remember to bring lawn chairs, sunscreen, blankets, umbrellas, warm clothes for the evening and anything else you might need for an outdoor event. We do not allow tents, coolers, alcohol, glass, cameras or pets. We care about our patrons’ health; the Thirsty Ear Festival is a non-smoking event! Like any festival, our lineup is subject to change. We’ll see you out at the ranch. Thanks for supporting live music!

If THERE ARE DUPLICATES>>>this is OK….from the NEW MEXICO MAGAZINE ONLLINE>

#1: SUPPORT FREE PRESS
#2: Support FIVE magazine and NEW MEXICAN WOMAN

Yes this includes advertising and telling advertizers that you appreciate their support. Five is one of the most exciting new magazines (local) that I’ve read. However this month the issue is short and sweet. Go READ THEM and eat local. If you are endowed, or an extremely generous entrpreneur send financial resources to boost this mag’s longevity. If you wantNew Mexicans to have access to more environmental news and eco issue ideas: send $$$. Also advertize!

Another intersting show is Michael Hearne’s 15th BIG BARN DANCE, yes, www.bigbarndance.com and/or www.michaelhearne.com

I hope this is the right Michael Hearne. There’ll be at least 24 groups on September 6,7,8 2007. (I just love You Tube for research and finding great music).

When you go KTAOS, you’ll also find there’s still good news and music for August too.

Just a note: Santa Fe and NM is famous for FILM: Here’s a FIlmfest that will catch your heart and soul. New Mexico’s International Wildllife Film Fest Santa Fe at the LENSIC on 9/28-29, Taos 9/21-22 at the TCA www.Riversandbirds.org
