News from the SF Brew: A little repition helps the memory work
This will be short because I have 2 more blogs to write tonight. Just came back from a dinner training at PRANZO Restaurant in Santa Fe. It was one of the best meals I had there in a long time. Good news for seniors: Pasta dishes now come in half sizes. Actually many trim conscious women will also enjoy this tidbit. I used this feature to enable me having an appetizer of calamari: humungous and I couldn’t even come close to finishing it. A tomato and mozzerlla and tomato caprise salad with a very good delicate green sauce. A half portion of a hard to pronounce pasta dinner with baby scallops, artichoke hearts, fettucini, and a milky sauce plus… It was light and good. A lady told me to try the Belgian semisweet chocolate with a raspberry (got strawberry instead). The ice cream was so rich and put me over the top.
Also on Tuesdays, many specialities are only $15.95 each. These are heavier protein dishes.
The lecture was fantastic. Look for Ola Loa powdered vitamin drinks at your local health food store.

BELLEVILLE
OUTFIT
With a tight, seamless, and an acoustic sound that’s uniquely their’s — a mix of gypsy swing, big band jazz and cross-genre Americana music, original songs and some clever covers — the startling six-piece Belleville Outfit of Austin belies the tender age of its members and its vast experience garnered swiftly after its union around Merlefest 2007 in Wilkesboro, N.C.
In fact, in just six months, the band has played for more than 10,000 people, ridden in a van-with-trailer to shows all the way from Texas to Tennessee, from Colorado to New York, and sold out shows up and down the East Coast and through Texas. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Del McCoury Band, The Waybacks, and The Duhks, and recorded a full-length album with producers John Rees and Bil Vorndick. When the band is home, members soak up other acts’ music, absorbing how music transmits energy from musician to listener, healing both — always learning, learning from the past but breathing their own interpretations into what they hear.

RECKLESS KELLY’S SONG “RAGGED AS THE ROAD” IS CURRENTLY #1 ON THE TEXAS MUSIC CHARTS, AND THEIR NEW ALBUM “BULLETPROOF” IS CURRENTLY #1 ON THE AMERICANA MUSIC ASSOC. CHART!
With very special guest STOLL VAUGHAN
Country soul from Nashville’s Stoll Vaughan! Stoll has made a name for himself as a reputable, young songwriter. With an expressive rustic style, profound lyrics, and a resonant voice, Vaughan’s identity is carried by a timeless authenticity all his own. Born in Kentucky, his music embraces his own style, although he has been favorably compared to the likes of early Springsteen and Townes Van Zandt.

The album art on Reckless Kelly’s new release, Bulletproof (June 24, Yep Roc), is a semi-faithful rendition of the homemade armor Australian outlaw and band namesake Ned “Reckless” Kelly wore during his final police shootout. But don’t assume that imagery and album title represent the Austin-based band’s propensity for shoot-’em-ups, horse-thievin’ or similarly dangerous behavior; their badass streak is manifested mainly in their fiercely incredible ability to rock out, and their “outlaw” credentials stretch about as far as their appreciation for outlaw country.
Reckless Kelly began making waves in Texas shortly after moving to Austin from Bend, Ore., where the band formed more than 11 years ago. They’ve built a fiercely loyal fan base in the Lone Star state and western territories, including the brothers’ native Idaho, but they’re captivating new audiences in Chicago, New York, the Southeast (including the Chapel Hill, N.C. home of their new label, Yep Roc), and even industry-hardened Nashville.
Yeah, getting to make music and have fun with family and friends on a regular basis. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Which is why the guys in Reckless Kelly intend to stick together for a long, long time to come. www.recklesskelly.com

Even with their mushrooming international popularity, the Mighty Diamonds have not forgotten their roots which come from the unique cultural potpourri of Jamaica with its harsh ghetto realities and its irresistible reggae pulse.
