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 BOULDER
ACOUSTIC SOCIETY

Each member of BAS comes from a different musical world, and the resulting mix is what makes their music so special. Shredding guitar licks, soaring gypsy violin, a little ukulele and the thump of an old time bass bounce around with a jazz accordion and creative percussion to create a new sound. It is American Roots music with the edge of punk rock and the grace of chamber music.
RANDOM FAMILY STRING BAND

RFSB is a high energy, original newgrass band from Taos, New Mexico. Their well-crafted, smart songwriting combined with their individual styles of play has made them a favorite in northern New Mexico. Up-tempo beats and exquisite vocals drive the audience to the dance floor. RFSB’s original songs blend the contemporary with bluegrass, folk, and instrumental improvisation. Equally at home in the Jam Band and Bluegrass scene, these boys love to pick. RFSB has shared the stage with the Boulder Acoustic Society, Elephant Revival, Last to Know, and the Brent Berry Band. Inspired by Yonder Mountain String Band, Neil Young, Grateful Dead, and Old and in the Way, the Random Family keeps you dancing!

Pleasure Pilots, Memphis P’Tails,
and Chris Dracup
Saturday, July 19, 7:00-10:00 pm
Albuquerque Museum Amphitheater
2000 Mountain Road NW, Old Town Albuquerque

Pleasure Pilots, Memphis P’Tails, and Chris Dracup –
Saturday, July 19, 7:00-10:00 pm:
The Pleasure Pilots is a popular New Mexico-based dance band playing rocking vintage rhythm and blues, swing and jump music. Instrumentation includes: guitar, piano and Hammond B3, drums, bass, tenor and baritone saxophones. The band specializes in recreating the roots of rhythm and blues. The Pilots won the Junior League of Albuquerque’s “Barttle of the Blues Bands” on October 13, 2007. Conceptually, the band draws much of its material from vintage rhythm and blues artists popular in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. (Louis Jordan, Jackie Brenston, Amos Milburn, T-bone Walker, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert King, among others). The primary focus of the music, however, is DANCE!

Led by Albuquerque blues guitar virtuoso Darin Goldstone, The Memphis P’Tails are a powerful Blues experience, drawing energy and raw power from the fathers of the genre, while staying true to their own Southwest heritage. The band’s inspiration came from Muddy Waters, B. B. King, Magic Sam, Otis Rush, Albert King, Freddie King, Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many other guitar-wielding bluesmen who helped shape the distinctive sound. The desert and the mountains did the rest. The result is explosive and in your face, like blues distilled to its purest, finest essence, and served up in a shot glass. Real Blues, straight, no chase, Blues white lightning.

New Mexico blues man Chris Dracup, will deliver a heaping amount of soulful blues guitar and solo vocals.

Admission: $12 Adults; $10 Seniors (60+) and Students w/ID; $9 New Mexico Jazz Workshop (NMJW) and Albuquerque Museum Members.

For event & ticket info, call 255-9798
Or visit the NMJW website at www.nmjazz.org

Los Pinguos
Using a Peruvian cajón box drum, a Cuban tres, and Spanish guitars, the
Argentinian band Los Pinguos has
become one of the most popular Latin
acts in Los Angeles. After achieving a fair
amount of success in their native city of Buenos Aires, the members of Los Pinguos
moved to Southern California in search of international recognition in 2001. Th ey’re
getting it. Th ey have a huge following
of Angelinos, they won the grand prize
on the Ed McMahon-hosted television
show Th e Next Big Star, their songs have
appeared on three Putumayo World Music
compilations, and they’ve toured the world.
Los Pinguos mix a number of Latin
rhythms with wonderful harmonies. See

Del Castillo
In 2000, Mark and Rick del Castillo
made a recording of Latin and fl amenco
songs for their parents and friends in
Brownsville, Texas. It was the fi rst time
the brothers had ever played together. Alex Ruiz later began adding vocals and
soon del Castillo became a complete band. Within just a few short months, they had
made a name for themselves in Austin. In
2003, del Castillo won seven Austin Music
Awards, including “Band of the Year” and
“Album of the Year.” Del Castillo has taken
its mix of fl amenco, Latin, rock and world
music to Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar
Festival and on the road with Los Lonely
Boys, Los Lobos, Kinky and de Sol.
Del Castillo plays the KTAOS Solar Center on Saturday, July 12.

Billy Bob
Th ornton and
the Boxmasters
Th ornton was
a musician long
before he hit it
big-time with
Sling Blade. As
a drummer, he
knocked around in
a number of bands, including a ZZ Top
tribute band called
Tres Hombres. Th ornton’s
current band is
the Boxmasters. Th eir offi cial bio says
Th ornton met fellow Boxmaster J.D. Andrew in a dispute over some cole slaw at
a fast food chicken restaurant. Th e dispute
ended quickly, with Th ornton and Andrew
becoming fast friends. A shared love of 1960s rock and roll and Buck Owens-style
country led them to form a band. Th ey
recruited Mike Butler, a friend of Andrew, to play lead guitar. Two things about the Boxmasters are
certain. One is that the core of the band is
made up of Th ornton, Andrew and Butler – they’re joined onstage by a number of top-
notch musicians. And two, a Boxmasters show is as much a party as it is a musical performance. Th e actor and Oscar-winning screenwriter has an intimacy with his audience that’s hard to match. Billy Bob Th ornton and the Boxmasters
play the Santa Fe Brewing Company on Wednesday, July 16 and the KTAOS Solar Center on Th ursday, July 17.

“Under the surface there
was always a rumble,
a rootsy, joyful but
sometimes menacing
depth of feeling that is
historically associated with
that quintessential music
of the worldwide African
Diaspora, the blues.”

It’s a short list, but a glorious one – great woman blues guitarists.
Th ere’s Memphis Minnie, Rosetta Th arpe, Jessie Mae Hemphill,
Etta Baker, Ruthie Foster, Rory Block, Bonnie Raitt . . . and Joan
Armatrading. Th at’s right, with the 2007 release of her selfproduced,
Grammy-nominated, Billboard blues number one
charting album Into the Blues (429 Records), and her current
performance tour,
the great British
pop-rock-reggae
singer-songwriter
Joan Armatrading
unquestionably
enters that
exclusive and
distinguished
sorority of female
fretboard blues
masters.
Into the Blues is a
fresh, stunningly
original work for
which Armatrading
wrote all the songs,
delivers all the
vocals and plays all the instruments except the drums. It would
draw much-deserved critical praise even if it had been released by
an obscure new artist.
Armatrading herself points out in recent interviews that this
blues collection is not so much a departure as a long-simmering
artistic progression. Indeed, as veteran Armatrading fans well
know, this musician with an unmistakably deep-reaching voice
has changed her vocal and instrumental styles several times
– from contemplative, near-jazzy observation songs like “Love
and Aff ection” and “Down to Zero,” to full-bore, loud soul-pop
masterpieces like “Drop the Pilot” and “Me Myself I,” to teasing,
loping reggae-rockers like “Rosie.” Yet, under the surface there was
always a rumble, a rootsy, joyful but sometimes menacing depth of
feeling that is historically associated with that quintessential music
of the worldwide African Diaspora, the blues.

I think that once a year, it is a great idea to review one of our most important historical contracts: the declaration of Independence. The real reason that we have the 4th of July. May we remember, cherish, and uphold the truths here. May we celebrate that we are American CItizens and can protect our freedoms.

Whether we have really upheld these beliefs, repsected our citiznens, or show a reverence for America, I work in heart and mind towards a better realization of democracy that we set forth to do. Happy Birthday America!

D-NUMBERS MISS GINGER

D Numbers’ broad range of influences and long process of group development have led to a complex and unique hybrid of instrumental rock and electronica. Their powerful live shows have earned them a diverse and loyal following, while their début CD, Lightparade, proves that the trio easily bridges the span between the stage and the studio.
Miss Ginger- Bending worlds into the next cyphers dimension.. I mention this because the intention of music takes me there, Or I take it. make a concious world, bringing soul from written word. Wax spun, beat percussion on hit, MC bustin’ through split lips…. Evidence of the reverance Music is our common reference point–taken. I prefer both dream state and to awaken. Manifest Destiny, Master craft with intention. This love is from Miss Ginger so be ready be set beat go.
