SUMMARY:Literary Nevada: Writings from the Silver State
DESCRIPTION:Cheryll Glotfelty\, CASE-Carnegie Professor of the Year for Nevada and Associate Professor of English\, University of Nevada\, Reno\, will be holding a series of public humanities talks and conversations in Northern Nevada based on Literary Nevada:  Writings from the Silver State. Literary Nevada is the first comprehensive anthology of Nevada literature.  The events are co-sponsored by Nevada Humanities and the University of Nevada Press. \nTalks will discuss Nevada through the lens of its literary heritage and include a conversation with the audience about Nevada’s stories.   A focal point of the conversation will be about living in Nevada and its rural communities\, and the stories that help us “re-see” our place. \nCheryll Glotfelty has published widely on western American literature in periodicals\, essay collections\, and reference works.  Twelve years of literary sleuth-work went into the making of Literary Nevada:  Writings from the Silver State\, recently published by the University of Nevada Press. \n“This book is a wonderful gift to Nevada’s people\, to westerners in general\, and to a confused nation seeking to understand its roots. It’s full of vivid\, compelling storytelling that can lead readers to an imaginative understanding of Nevada and western life and literature as they have evolved. This is a very special defining book. We inhabit our own nation\, and its literature is beginning to get due recognition. This book will be an important part of that movement.”\n–William Kittredge\, editor of The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology

SUMMARY:Paul Geremia – Acclaimed Country Blues Fingerpicker
DESCRIPTION:Blues Legend Springs Surprise Martin Show \nby Henry Kingman \nOne of the world’s greatest living bluesmen will appear at The Martin Hotel this Saturday. Tickets for the 7 PM show\, which was confirmed mere days ago\, cost only $10\, with all proceeds\ngoing to the musician. \nPaul Geremia has been a working musician for forty-three years. He plays finger-style country blues on 6- and 12-string guitars\, accompanied at times by mouth harp and verse sung like he means it. \nSomething of a purist\, Geremia plays with high fidelity to the masters – Robert Johnson\, Blind Lemon Jefferson\, Mississippi John Hurt\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Charlie Patton\, and scores of others. In a life on the road\, he has managed to dodge mainstream fame and fortune\, while racking up more miles\, friends\, and musical accomplices than anyone but perhaps Ramblin’ Jack Elliot or Woodie Guthrie. Geremia is definitely in it for the music. \nBesides playing the masters\, Geremia writes original material\, and has recorded about a dozen solo albums. His idiosyncratic style celebrates crooked beats\, and musical quotes\, asides\, and humor. Some of the lyrics are pretty funny\, too. \nBetween songs\, Geremia likes to share his views on life\, the times\, and particularly the history of the blues. Things never get too dry or academic\, though\, because the stories are all so personal. Geremia has at some point played or recorded with every country blues picker from Piedmont to the Delta\, it seems. \nGeremia is himself a third-generation Italian American hailing from Providence\, Rhode Island – the Providence Delta\,” he likes to joke. Unusually for a “blues legend” of his stature\, Geremia books his own shows\, tours alone\, and stays mostly with friends. He learned about the Martin from Roy Book Binder\, who apparently described it as the best venue in the entire West. \nWe couldn’t agree more\, and hope a good crowd will turn out\, despite the last-minute notice\, to appreciate one of the all-time greats in a rare West Coast appearance. The show is Saturday\, May 30\, 7 PM at the Martin Hotel on Railroad Street. Tickets are $10\, and available now at the Martin\, or at Nature’s Corner on Winnemucca Blvd.

SUMMARY:Spring Creek~Rural and Cosmic Bluegrass
DESCRIPTION:Spring Creek from Lyons\, Colorado\, are quickly gaining a reputation as the hottest young band in the Rocky Mountains. The quartet play a mix of bluegrass standards and compelling originals\, and all four musicians are also accomplished vocalists. Spring Creek is built on the fundamentals of bluegrass\, yet they create their own classic contemporary style. \nThe young band\, whose members met in music school in Texas\, have studied and performed together for several years\, creating a tight\, polished sound. Counting such bands as Country Gazette and Hot Rize among their influences\, Spring Creek’s members have a deep respect for tradition\, as well as an innate sense of musical innovation. \n“We choose songs that suit our style\,” says guitarist Taylor Sims. “I enjoy the pilgrimage–learning songs the way they’ve been played for years and years\, staying close to tradition. But a lot of different kinds of songs can fit into the traditional bluegrass style if they are done really well. We try hard to do each song justice\, with real bluegrass-style harmonies and arrangements.” \nJudges at two recent band competitions agree that Spring Creek have what it takes to deliver the high\, lonesome sounds in the Appalachian tradition. The band won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival band contest in June 2007\, and won their second Planet Bluegrass title later that summer at the 35th annual Rocky Mountain Bluegrass Festival (RockyGrass) held in Lyons. \n“We won Telluride pretty exclusively based on the strength of our original material\,” explains Alex Johnstone\, who plays both mandolin and fiddle in Spring Creek. “People are learning our tunes now and that’s so exciting.” \nThough they clearly appeal to traditional bluegrass fans\, the Spring Creek musicians mix in a little something for everyone at their live shows. Expect to hear an Elton John or Gillian Welch cover squeezed in between a blazing fast Carter Stanley instrumental and a rip roarin’ Bill Monroe tune. Band mates agree that they want to have a hand in initiating younger audiences into the bluegrass fold. \n“I’m into the idea of playing for general audiences where people might be exposed to traditional bluegrass for the first time\,” says Chris Elliott\, who in addition to his band’s win at RockyGrass\, also celebrated earning top honors in the festival’s banjo instrument contest. \n“When I first saw younger people playing bluegrass\, I thought\, ‘Wow\, this could be really cool\,’” says Elliott. “If more young people are exposed to bluegrass at the right time\, they’ll like it too.” \n“We really want all generations to appreciate bluegrass\,” agrees bassist Jessica Smith. “Some kids think it’s just sleepy music for older people. We show them that we have real energy and passion; we show them that it’s something special.” \nFollowing up on 2006’s Rural & Cosmic Bluegrass\, Spring Creek released Lonesome Way to Go in March 2008 and their third disc\,Way Up on a Mountain on Rebel Records in May 2009. This 12-track album of kickin’ Colorado bluegrass has charmed fans\, critics\, DJs and festival producers alike with its expert vocals\, instrumental work and impressive writing. \n“Spring Creek has redefined what can be accomplished on acoustic instruments\,” says Chris Kelly of the Crested Butte Weekly. “They are an act not to be missed\, as their constant live performances have allowed them to become a tight-knit musical ensemble.” \n“On stage\, the band has real chemistry\,” says Kelly. “Through mutual stimulation and stage-fed adrenaline and energy\, the band can thrust itself into an acoustic frenzy!”

SUMMARY:The Earl Brothers
DESCRIPTION:The Earl Brothers\, a 4-piece\, all-original string band from Northern California\, stands at the cutting-edge of a movement so new\, it has yet to be definitively named. Whether one chooses to describe them as “Honky-Tonk Bluegrass\,” “Hillbilly Gothic\,” or “Neo-Traditional\,” there is one thing on which everyone seems to agree. There is something about this band’s “less is more” approach to songwriting\, singing\, and musicianship that makes you stop whatever you’re doing and take notice. \nFor those who remember the goose-bumps they felt the first time they heard the high-lonesome sound of Bill Monroe or the otherworldly harmonies of the Stanley Brothers\, that same thrill of discovery is being created all over again by the Earl Brothers. Unlike other traditional bluegrass bands that seek to re-create the music of the original bluegrass masters\, the Earl Brothers are blazing their own trail\, extending the genre\, while simultaneously staying solidly within the gritty tradition that started in the 1940s and 50s. Listeners are left with a mix of exhilaration and bewilderment upon their first exposure to this new-yet-old form of music. As one listener remarked\, “There is something mysterious that happens when the Earl Brothers take the stage. I don’t know what it is\, but I don’t have to. I just know that something important is going on.” \nIn the short time since the release of their second album\, Troubles To Blame (the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Whiskey\, Women & Death)\, The Earl Brothers have received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from music-lovers\, festival promoters\, radio DJs\, and music journalists across the country and abroad. The album rose to the top spot on the WDVX play list in Knoxville\, TN\, just a few short weeks after its debut on that station. CD orders and radio requests have been tumbling in from such far-flung locales as Australia\, Belgium\, France\, Japan\, the Netherlands\, New Zealand\, and even New York City! \nThe band is built around the unique vocal and songwriting attributes of the creative duo of Bobby Earl Davis (banjo) and Danny Morris (guitar). There is an indescribable “something” that happens when these guys sing together that makes the listener feel as if he or she has taken a step outside of the current time and place and somehow ended up in a different dimension that is unmistakably old-time but is simultaneously avant-garde. The subject matter is mostly limited to “dreadful” subjects—death\, drinking\, chasing and losing women—and an occasional honky-tonk gospel to atone for all of these transgressions. Rounding out the sound is the tasteful fiddle playing of Tom Lucas and the driving bass of James Touzel. \nGive them a listen on their MySpace page:

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Great James King
DESCRIPTION:The James King Bluegrass Band returns to Winnemucca for a show at the Martin Hotel\, at 7:00 PM Tuesday\, October 13.  Tickets are on sale now at Nature’s Corner and the Martin Hotel. \nFrom the moment you first hear his voice\, you know you are hearing  bluegrass the way it was meant to be sung. James King sings  bluegrass as only a handful of others before him – Carter Stanley\,  Red Allen\, Del McCoury – ever have. Bluegrass Unlimited has called  him “the most impressive lead vocalist to emerge in traditional bluegrass this decade”. \nBluegrass lead singing is a delicate balance a singer must have the forcefulness and intensity to cut through the multiple instrumental layers of a bluegrass band\, while still maintaining a tender enough lilt to convey emotion and mesh with the instruments and supportive vocalists. Even the most driving numbers require a certain finesse while\, conversely\, the most eloquent songs demand a firm push. When  you consider his mastery of this balance\, the high quality of the songs he sings\, his top-notch backing band\, and his sheer soulfulness\, it becomes clear that James King is simply the best lead singer in bluegrass today. \nOur old friend Mr. James King is on his way to Winnemucca for another fall visit. I dug my CD’s out this weekend\, and once again\, James and his band had me grinning and laughing\, crying and sobbing\, and sitting simply carried away with delight and wonder. If you are a fan of traditional bluegrass music\, or a fan of great emotional singing\, or a fan of watching a group of musicians locked-in together to take you on a journey\, this is a show you won’t want to miss.

All ticket proceeds are going to this worthwhile program of the Winnemucca Food Bank which discretely places weekend food supplies in the back packs of needy elementary school children each Friday. \nIn celebration of their 10th season\, Nevada Shakespeare Company offers an edgy new production of Macbeth\, Shakespeare’s popular tale of horror\, drawn from Scottish history\, with great warriors\, witches and ghostly apparitions. \nThe production is directed by the talented David Weinberg. \n“Having Dave as our director is a godsend\,” says Cameron Crain\, Nevada Shakes’ President and Managing Artistic Director\, “his training\, experience and insights into the play\, as well as our company\, make him the perfect fit for this production.” \nMr. Weinberg was born and raised in Reno\, and has spent over a decade working and studying theatre in Los Angeles\, New York and London. The play also boasts stage combat choreography by Mr. JR Beardsley\, an international fight director\, and includes several violent fights with a range of authentic-looking broad swords\, shields and battle axes. \n“This is one of Shakespeare’s bloodiest\, spookiest plays\, and it’s a perfect thing to present this time of year\,” says Beardsley regarding the staging of Macbeth during the Halloween season\, “My job is to help recreate the violence of the time period and make it look real and interesting.” \nThis bloody production promises to be a fresh\, dynamic and entertaining event for the Halloween season: after all\, Macbeth is filled with sword fights\, witches\, blood lust\, betrayal and justice. Before there was Harry Potter there was Shakespeare! Macbeth will be touring throughout the month of October: 10.16 at the Dayton Valley Country Club\, 10.17 at Lowry High School in Winnemucca\, 10.23 at Piper’s Opera House\, 10.24\, 10.29\, 10.30 and 10.31 at the Nelson Building in downtown Reno. \nThis bloody production promises to be a fresh\, dynamic and entertaining event for the Halloween season: after all\, Macbeth is filled with sword fights\, witches\, blood lust\, betrayal and justice.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare’s Troupe
DESCRIPTION:At one o’clock in the the morning\, all kinds of strange things are going on.  This army is about to enjoy some well deserved rations to celebrate their victory\, and recover from their defeats earlier this evening\, as they often met in pitched battle on stage in Winnemucca for their production of Macbeth.  The director and the  cast of the traveling Nevada Shakespeare Company stopped briefly for a photo during what seemed to be a re-creation of a scene from the play during their late night dinner at the Winnemucca Inn. \nAnd yes\, and the sword fights lived up to their billing\, the witches were stunning\, the whole performance ran like a watch\, and they ALL delivered a terrific performance. They still have four shows on their schedule\, and they truly deserve to play to a packed house each night. \nTheir next show is Friday\, October 23 at Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City; and then three performances in Reno at the Laxalt Auditorium\, October 29\, 30\, and 31.  ADMISSION: All Reno shows are free. Admission to the Piper’s Opera House show is $15 general and $10 for students and seniors. Tickets will be available at the door.  ON THE WEB: www.Nevada-Shakespeare.org \nIf you are member of the troupe\, or were in the audience last night\, we would love to hear from you.  Leave a comment below\, and share your thoughts. \nFrom the Reno Gazette Journal’s Sunday edition\, later today: \nShakespeare returns with a vengeance\nJoe Atack as Macbeth\nBy Forrest Hartman • forrest@rgj.com • October 18\, 2009\nSince 2002\, Nevada Shakespeare Company has been a scaled-down model of its former self\, concentrating on educational outreach programs and small productions requiring only a handful of actors. That changed Friday when the company trotted out its first full-blown stage show in seven years\, a touring production of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.”  more….
