Mary Poppins on stage in AuburnnAnny stAte

a s a choreographer, Pam Harrold knows a thing or two about steps. But one of her most signifi cant strides as of late was when she stepped

into the director’s role for Placer Community Theatre’s upcoming produc-tion of Mary Poppins after the original director had to bow out.

“I really love the job as a director and choreographer,” she said, “I am one of those fortunate people who gets to go to work every day.”

Harrold was already serving as the play’s choreographer and had plen-ty of experience juggling the dual roles throughout her 12 years in Placer High School’s drama department. But the story of Mary Poppins, with its umbrella fl ights and dancing penguins, can pose challenges for even the most experienced director.

“The script has a lot of magic in it,” said producer Charles Davidson. “There are some effects that people come to expect after seeing the fi lm. We have to pull off those effects in way that preserves the integrity of the script given our physical facility. In terms of technical expertise, we have to carry off really cool things in the space and time we have. This is going to be a test for us. We’re going to create a little magic of our own.”

Both Harrold and Davidson point out that the play is a lot closer to

the book, which is a lot different from the movie. Anyone who’s seen the 2013 movie “Saving Mr. Banks” knows that author P.L. Travers was less than thrilled with Disney’s fi nal product. So when Cameron Mackintosh wanted to adapt it to a stage play, he went to Travers — who was in her 90s — for her blessing.

“It’s not the same as the movie,” Harrold said. “It’s similar but not the same. The character development of George and Winifred Banks, the mother and father, they’re given much more depth. You’ll have to come to actually see how it is slightly different, but it’s a good difference.”

The movie is so well known and well loved by the past few genera-tions that tinkering with it might seem almost blasphemous. But the play captures the essence of the book while incorporating all of the elements people love from the movie.

“It’s breaking the preconceived notion people have of what this story is,” Davidson said. “He (Mackintosh) brought back some of the darkness. He kept the original intent behind her characters but also the fun songs that people are familiar with. Some whole sections are cut completely out and new songs were written and added.”

Don’t worry, you’ll still hear your favorites like “Spoonful of Sugar” and “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” Or perhaps you have another favorite.

“As a kid, I loved ‘Jolly Holiday,’” said Dakota Lynch, who will play the title role.

Lynch found that playing a character that is “practically perfect in ev-ery way” can be, well, far from a perfect scenario.

“It’s diffi cult because she is a lot of things,” Lynch said. “She’s kind but also stern. She’s practically perfect but her demeanor is very interesting.”

She said she’s not against watching Julie Andrews’ iconic perfor-mance for inspiration. As for her sidewalk-painting, street-cleaning, chim-ney-sweeping counterpart Bert, well, Jon Sorenson said he put down the remote.

“I did start to watch the movie but it was so different, I decided to stay away from it and make it my own,” Sorenson said.

Producer Davidson said both lead actors are doing a great job of bringing their own personalities to the roles Andrews and Dick van Dyke made famous. And director Harrold credits the crew — “absolutely phe-nomenal” — for making it all work. Thirteen scene changes, eight- to 10-piece orchestra and a cast of 31.

“There’s a lot you can learn from Mary Poppins,” Harrold said. “When my kids were growing up, I didn’t get it out of the movie, but in the play there are lessons to be learned, like to be responsible for yourself, to speak up and support each other, and to realize that if you dream and execute your dream, it can happen.”

The chimney sweeps will be tapping for 10 performances at the State Theatre this month. So if you’re looking for a supercalifragilisticexpialido-cious time, come on over.

Art Stock an evening wine, food, and music and large creationsArtists think big

H igh Hand Gallery has big plans for this year’s Art Stock. The bi-annual show will feature up to 50 artists, ranging in talents from watercolors

to sculptural metals, in an exhibition of large format work specially crafted for the show.

“It gives our artists the opportunity to stretch and get out of their com-fort zones and to do something that’s different and large,” says Kat Oliver, High Hand Art guild member. “We do some incredible work and we have some wonderful things that are produced. And we have some incredible talent in this vicinity. It’s a very exciting show.”

The show is open for all High Hand Gallery artists, both past and pres-ent, whose work run a gamut of fine art mediums, including photography, pottery, metal sculpture, glass work, kinetic designs, and paintings.

“You name it,” Oliver said. “There’s going to be decoupage painting, sculpture, things that are made out of plastic, sculptures that are made

out of steel, and wood. The sculptures have to be two feet or bigger, paintings have to be three feet or bigger, and usually they’re a lot big-ger than that.”

In addition to the wide range of artists showcased, Art Stock will also feature live bluegrass music by Natural Drift, wine, and light appetizers, including edible bread sculptures by artist Maureen Gilli, which are a re-curring crowd favorite.

“This year we’ve decided to do a wine and cheese pairing in coopera-tion with the High Hand Café, so we’ll have three stations with six different cheeses and three different wines,” Oliver said. “We’ll have a raffle for two copper and steel wire cornucopias and a cheese board hand-forged from the top of wine barrels.”

Tickets are available in advance on-line or at the door.

MArtin seXton MiXing it UP in grAss VAlley

s ince recording his debut al-bum, In the Journey, on an

eight-track cassette tape in 1991, Martin Sexton has cultivated a very devoted following. The tenth of 12 kids from an Irish-American family in Syracuse, New York — which he credits as giving him the need to fi nd attention on stage — Sexton has been creating honest, beauti-ful Americana music for more than twenty years.

The “blue eyed soul” singer mixes gospel, country, blues, rock, and R&B together with heartfelt lyrics and a multi-octave voice.

We caught up with Martin Sex-

ton while on the road touring and promoting his new album, Mixtape of the Open Road.

you’ve been a singer-songwrit-er since the early ’90s. How has your style evolved over the years and what might have prompted those changes?

“I don’t listen to much contem-porary music, so my songwriting and general style evolves based on my own life experience and what happens to be playing in my head, and I try to let the singing simply serve the song.”

By Matthew Whitley

the Irish have a long history of storytelling with a penchant for black humor. Was there a lot of music and storytelling in your house growing up?

“I had older siblings and they had records. Everything from Fleet-wood Mac’s Rumors to Frampton Comes Alive to Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life. These, along with AM and FM radio and my father occasionally singing in church, is what I heard growing up. It wasn’t until I fi rst played the Ca-nadian folk fests in the late ’90s that I heard traditional fi ddle music.”

You played with Peter Frampton. When you perform with someone you’ve known as a performer, is it intimidating?

“That was another one of my dreams come true as he is one of my all-time heroes, so when I per-formed Do You Feel Like We Do at Madison Square Garden with him I had to pinch myself.”

When you write a song, are you creating a fi ctional character or do you write about yourself? 

“Some are right out of my life journal, very personal and real, and others are about people I ei-ther meet or imagine I meet, and yet others are just complete stream of consciousness ramblings that sound good phonetically.”

You’ve had your songs used in fi lm and TV. How did you end up on soundtracks and does it give your career a big boost to have your music used on a series?

“My management answered their phone calls. Certainly play on prime time, while it gives a boost, doesn’t make or break a career. But

in my case it has been a nice ad-dition to what I’ve built and been blessed with. Another fl ower on the cake, another feather in my cap.”

Your most recent album, was in-spired by all the driving you do on tour. Remembering how music used to be shared, do you have to explain to some listeners  un-der 30 what a cassette tape is?

“Mixtape of the Open Road is just that, a mixed bag, a collection of songs that don’t necessarily be-long together but somehow work. Like a mixtape you make for your friend after some life event.”

What do you have planned for the Grass Valley show? New material? Odd tracks? Cov-ers? Surprises?

“As I rarely use a set list, every night is a surprise.”

I like to ask singers for a list of their 10 desert island discs.

“A few on my list would be: Beatles ‘Abbey Road,’ ‘Led Zeppe-lin I’, Tom Waits ‘Mule Variations’, Chris Whitley ‘Livin’ with the Law’, Jeff Buckley ‘Grace’ and Ani Difran-co ‘To the Teeth.’”

Worldfest Favorite Sean Hayes returns to Grass ValleyrUnning with the wolVes

s ince his debut album, A Thousand Tiny Pieces, Sean

Hayes has been creating rich and evocative Americana music for nearly 20 years.

Hayes has a strong and clean sound, yet an almost frail and vulnerable voice. A true trouba-dour, Hayes blends folk, rock, soul and country into a sound very much his own.

Currently residing in San Fran-cisco, Hayes was born in New York and then spent a number of years in the South. He credits Asheville and Charleston with helping to create his sound. The Southern tradition of storytelling, with their

often sad and gothic tales of love and hardship, has rubbed off on his songwriting. It’s rich, like a short story by William Faulkner.

Once seen or heard, it’s easy to understand why Hayes has devel-oped such a rabid following. His song, Powerful Stuff, was used by Subaru in one of their ads, expos-ing a whole new audience of listen-ers to his music. Attendees of the California Worldfest will attest to his sound, as he’s become a real local favorite.

The Entertainer caught up with Hayes who is currently recording a new album.

You said the Carolinas left an im-print on you as an artist. How so?

“I was born in New York raised in North Carolina. The south has its own pace and rhythm. It shaped the way I talk and the words I use. It rounded off some of that New York edge in my voice.”

You eventually moved to San Francisco. First, why not Los An-geles, and second, how does the musical scene differ here than on the east Coast?

“I would have moved to New York City before Los Angeles but I choose San Francisco because of romance. I’ve been on the west

coast now for more than 20 years. I’m not sure of the difference any more. It still is the wide open Wild West though.”

Who were your musical heroes?“They are many ... Otis Redding,

Bob Marley, Tom Waits, Nina Sim-one, James Brown, Van Morrison, The Police, Billy Joel, Aretha, Miles Davis, Marc Ribot, Junior Kim-brough on and on and on …”

Often an artist transitions from copying or mimicking a beloved artist to cultivating their own voice. Have you defi ned your voice and how did you do so?

“I tried out for a theater class in high school and got in. We did mu-sicals. I was not one of the ‘singers’ but wished I could sing so I wrote a song and started singing. I’ve always gone out and performed though it is rooted in going out and singing to real people.”

You’ve been performing since the late ’90s. How has your art changed over the last few years? Can you step back now and see an arc?

“I mostly write about love, one-ness and the occasional chick-en. Slowly it changes. May be a bit more soul now then back in the day.”

What do you want to convey to your listeners with your music?

“I like for people to move, feel connected. An emotional connec-tion. But it’s not too planned out in any way. You have an inspiration, you tug on the string, a song is formed. You sing it, record it, pass it on, do it all again.”

You’ve worked with the Cold War Kids and Ani DiFranco; you’ve even sang a duet with Aimee Mann. What do you learn when you work with another perform-er? Do they give you advice that was helpful to your career?

“They all invited me to play with them on tour or on a recording. It helps you along the way. Helps keep you going to meet new peo-ple making new friends. Blessed.”

What skills and attributes do you think are important to being a successful musician?

“Still working on it! Like any-thing. But a bit of a romantic, per-sistent insanity helps if you plan on doing it for a living.”

How has touring changed for you over the years?

“I have kids now so it’s not as easy to leave home.”

When do you know when a song’s fi nished and you can walk away from it?

“For me it never stops changing.”

What should those seeing you for the fi rst time expect at the Grass Valley show?

“A rather thin man singing and playing guitar.”

for nearly 74 years, Peter Coyote has made a name for himself with his voice.

Since the 60s, Coyote earned his political activ-ism bonafides, being an intricate part of “The Summer of Love,” San Francisco’s countercul-ture art scene and even participating in a three-day fast in Washington during the Cuban Missile Crisis. His support of the President’s peace plans rendered a meeting with Kennedy’s National Security advisor McGeorge Bundy, the first time the White House marked the changing attitudes of western protestors.

In 1975, he was appointed by then Gov. Jerry Brown as a member of the California Arts Coun-cil, which saw rapid growth during his tenure as Chairman. Coyote then began his profession-al acting career as the lead in Sam Sheppard’s True West, which led to roles in American film classics like E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, Jagged Edge and Bitter Moon. Despite being a cele-brated actor and author, most recently of “The Rainman’s Third” published in April, Coyote is perhaps best known for his distinctive speaking. Coyote has narrated everything from the open-ing ceremonies of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games to countless documentaries, including Ken Burn’s The Roosevelts, which earned him an Emmy nomination this year. On Oct. 9, Coyote will be a special guest of the Tsi Akim Maidu in Nevada City for their celebration of Indigenous People’s Day. Recently, Coyote sat down with us to discuss his career, his life-long activism, and why he adopted the name “Coyote.”

Can you explain how you went about chang-ing your name after having an experience with peyote?

“In college, my friend and I ate 10 buttons each. Nothing happened until my friend stood up and said ‘Oh wow, my hands are dizzy.’ As

soon as he said that, we were all as high as a kite. I went outside and I said to him, ‘This is weird but I feel like I’m some kind of little wolf.’ When I came to I was standing in a corn field and all around my feet there were little dog tracks. About four or five years later I was living with a guy named ‘Rolling Thunder’ and he was an Indian doctor and I was trying to find some wisdom while I was helping him out. One day we took a break and told him this story. And he said, ‘Well, what are you going to do about it?’ And I said, ‘What do you mean?’ and he said, “Well, the universe opened its mind to you. And you have a choice. You can treat it as a halluci-nation or you can take it as a great gift and you can dedicate yourself to understanding what it meant and what to do with it. Then you might become a human being.’

It sort of floored me. I thought about it for a month and then I decided to take the name as the first step in honoring that vision. It turned out to be one of the most important things I ever did. I didn’t know it at the time but it liber-ated me from all my personal history. Peter Co-hon, who I used to be, was a known commodity. People had known about him, they had plans about him. They felt like they knew who I was. But nobody knew who Peter Coyote was, even me. I was 23 or 24 then, and I’m 73 now. So I’ve been Peter Coyote twice as long as I’ve been anything else.”

Why do you think the Indigenous People’s Day movement is so important? 

“I ran into indigenous communities because we wanted to learn how to live on this continent the way the continent dictated. Most of our Eu-ropean relatives, who came here, transplanted a European vision and imposed it on America. They built the kinds of houses they had in Eu-

rope, grew the kinds of crops, brought the kind of animals. And they changed the landscape radically to accept that. They killed 500 million buffalo to bring in 500 million cows. And cows are from riverine wet areas from Southeast Asia. We could have all grown up eating buffalo and the prairies would still be intact. We would have never had the dustbowl. I felt that the encyclo-pedias for how to live on this continent were in the Native American community. And I began to investigate it, learn.

The more I looked, the more I realized, I dis-covered that they were the most despised and under-serviced community in the United States. Ever since then, I’ve thrown myself into various native struggles and issues. It’s not because I want to be an Indian, I’m not an Indian. I’m a Caucasian. But I’m a Native American. I was born here and the universe opened its mind to me and bounded me to this continent. And by God, those are the people who are my allies. It’s not like native communities don’t have their problems or their failures. But they still have a cultural wisdom that very few European immi-grants have. Except for maybe long time, old farmers. But certainly not industrial farming. These Maidu, these Miwok people, when they ask me to do something, I do it.”

You’ve played the President of the Unit-ed States on screen three times, and the Vice-President once. Did you ever consider going into politics?

“You know, no. I mean, I’ve considered it very carefully. But I’ve rejected it. I worked for Jerry Brown for eight years and made a big success of the California State Arts Council. My comrades and I raised the budget from one to 16 million dollars, at a time that Prop. 13 had passed and everything was being cut. The day

after Jerry Brown was out of offi ce, the next gov-ernor cut the budget back to a million. All that work, all the community projects we had done. We had artists working with the forest service and the Department of Health and Education, and it all just disappeared and went down the drain. And I thought life is too short to dedicate eight years, almost a decade, to something that can be undone by fi at.

Because I had been a Zen Buddhist, I be-lieved that if people monitor themselves, they would never slip back. I decided to concentrate my energies on that. Politics are governed by money, and since the Citizens United decision by our Supreme Court, we no longer live in a democracy. I basically vote because I intend de-mocracy, but I’m not fooling myself into thinking my vote means much.”

Considering that you’ve lived a life of activ-ism, is there any presidential candidate who can expect getting the Peter Coyote bump?

“Nobody gives a s*** about my endorse-ment. But if I was going to endorse anyone it would be Bernie Sanders. Just for the longevity and the fi delity of his career and his dedication to working men and women. He doesn’t have the money or the power base that Hilary Clinton

has, but Bernie Sanders went to congress, and unlike Hilary, he didn’t make himself rich, he just continued to serve. I respect that.”

Many people know you for your distinctive voice, perhaps most notable as the narrator of a few Ken Burns documentaries. How does it feel to be the voice behind such education-al and celebrated work?

“I love documentaries, period. I have the ut-most respect for people that have the passion and the commitment to struggle and raise the money necessary to make a documentary. And Ken Burns to me, he’s at the top of the heap. The day after tomorrow, I’m going down to L.A., I’ve been nominated for an Emmy for narrating The Roosevelts. So I’m going to show up at the ceremony. But you know, it’s just like working with the best. Ken and his producer Lynn Novick operate at such a high level of achievement and fi nish and honor that’s it’s just a privilege.”

Is Fred “Coyote” Downey a good friend to have in activism? 

“Fred has been a councilor and an advisor and a hero of mine for a long time. In years past, we had more things that we did together but he was one of the people I would always look to. If

you’re European you have to accept that you’re not in one lifetime going to have all the instincts of Native American cultures who in some cases have been here 18,000 years. And Fred is cer-tainly a fearless and honorable guy that I com-pletely trust.”

Do you have anything particularly special planned for the IPD event in Nevada City you were invited to?

“My plan is to show up [laughs]. They want me to say a few words, but anything I say will be in support of them and build bridges between the native and European communities. I’m just showing up for my friends. My friends are hav-ing a party; they invited me so I’m coming.”

What’s next for peter Coyote?“I just moved into a little farm in Sebasto-

pol. I’ve got 40 fruit trees I’m taking care of. I’m just trying to live quietly and on less money so I don’t have to make movies anymore [laughs]. So I can stay home and live in one place and take care of it. I’ve got fi gs, three big acorn trees. I had some friends come over to harvest apples and pears. I grew up on a farm and I want to sink my roots back into a farm. That’s my plan.”

Actor, activist and author Peter Coyote has lent his distinctive voice to countless documentaries including The Roosevelts, which garnered him an Emmy nomination this year. He will be the special guest of the Tsi Akim Maidu for this year’s Indigenous People’s Day celebration in Nevada City.

The generation that saved the world shares their experience with the community

let’s neVer forget series Presents the greAtest generAtion

t he Greatest Generation was forged in the fi re and ice of the

Great Depression and World War II. According to journalist Tom Bro-kaw, who coined the moniker, “[a]t every stage of their lives they were part of historic challenges and achievements of a magnitude the world had never before witnessed.” Our nation’s current strength and affl uence are credited to their per-severance, determination, and sac-rifi ces. However, those once youth-ful 20-year-old soldiers, airmen, and sailors are now nearing their centennial years and our commu-

nities are quickly losing the oppor-tunity to hear their voices. In 2014, the Department of Veterans Af-fairs estimated that 413 American World War II veterans died daily.

The Let’s Never Forget Series and the City of Auburn have joined forces to provide the community with the opportunity to hear local veterans’ fi rst-hand experiences and to celebrate the generation that saved the world and made our nation great. The annual event, which showcases historical events with a local impact, is hosting multiple movie and documentary

showings, art exhibits, book read-ing, a USO-style concert, and an-tique car show in several venues throughout town. The weekend’s events will culminate in a “Voices of the Greatest Generation” pan-el at Placer High School Saturday evening. Most events are free and open to the public, but the Van Howd Studio and the Ridge Golf Course will both hold special events over the weekend. Thurs-day evening, the Van Howd Studio will host a VIP reception with hon-ored veteran guests in attendance, and on Friday night, the Ridge Golf

Course will host a gala dinner and USO show featuring the Satin Dollz and the Dean Mora Band.

“The ‘Greatest Generation’ fo-cus this year allows our Auburn community to hear directly from the voices of the greatest genera-tion through multiple events [and] hopefully to inspire those who are attending to continue to ex-plore and ‘never forget’ what that impact was,” said the Let’s Never Forget Series founding Co-Di-rector Elizabeth Sands. “These are all local, Auburn-connected veterans who are going to share

“We are inviting any World War II veteran who is able to attend the gala, to be our guest” said Sands.

“So if they are a World War II veter-an, it is free for that veteran, they just need to contact us.

Our World War II veterans are aging and those voices are disap-pearing. We want to honor them.”

Local veterans who will be on hand to share their experiences include USS Arizona survivor Lou Conter, Navy UDT diver Andy Anderson, dive bomber pilot Lt. Fran Ferry, Rosie the Riveter Betty Sampson, WASP Jeanette Dunn, and triple ace fi ghter pilot Col. C.E.

“Bud” Anderson. Anderson will be on hand at

the State Theatre on Saturday for a 1 p.m. showing of the documenta-

ry “It’s An American Life- the Story of Col. Bud Anderson,” as well as a book-signing for his autobiogra-phy, “To Fly and Fight, Memoirs of a Triple Ace.” Col. Anderson, who retired in 1972 after serving for nearly 30 years, hopes that his experience will give people a bet-ter understanding of the human cost of war.

“Our historians can’t even agree within a million on how many peo-

ple died,” said Anderson. “History books say 40 to 50 million people died as a result of World War II. Some books say 72 million peo-ple died, they don’t know. But it’s in numbers that I can’t personally comprehend. I can’t imagine that many people dying. That’s the tragedy of World War II and that’s why we should remember and learn those lessons.”

Triple Ace fi ghter pilot Col. “Bud” Anderson (pictured in 1944 England) will be on hand to talk about his World War II experiences during the Let’s Never Forget Series presentation of The Greatest Generation.

Local celebrations bring Germany to Northern CaliforniaherZliCh willkoMMen oktoberfest!

o ktoberfest, Munich’s quintessentially Ger-man celebration, was fi rst held in 1810 to

commemorate Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese Saxe-Hildburghausen. Since then the fete has grown into one of the world’s largest annual public festivals with more than six million revelers in attendance every year, conjuring up images of men in lederhosen and women in dimdl dresses, bratwurst and pret-zels, traditional Oompah bands and copious amounts of beer.

“Oktoberfest beer is a Märzen, which tends to be a little heavier, a little darker, and the alco-hol content is a little higher,” said Heinz Ludke with the Sacramento Turn Verein, a historic club that celebrates and promotes German Ameri-can culture throughout Northern California. “So while a Pilsner or Lager tends to be very clear and golden, Märzen is more of a brown, fuller color, and with a richer fl avor with a lot more kick to it.”

Accordingly, traditional Oktoberfest dishes are heavy enough to fi ll you up and keep you going — and drinking — throughout the week-end. Customary foods include solid meat and potato fare, such as bratwurst, ham hocks, roast-ed chicken, potato salad, dumplings, and pan-cakes, as well as a variety of desserts and sweets.

While Munich’s festival is traditionally held over three consecutive weekends at the end of September and the beginning of October, here in Northern California, there are many celebra-tions throughout the month that honor German culture, most of which are community traditions in their own right. Celebrations include plenty of food, music, and brews that bring a bit of Ba-varia closer to home.

Founded in 1854, Sacramento Turn Verein hosts the city’s fi rst and biggest Oktoberfest, drawing thousands of people every year from all over Sacramento, Placer, and Yolo counties. STV’s imported Oktoberfest beers, authentic German food, and traditional German music and danc-ing make for an entertaining and family-friendly celebration.

“Oktoberfest is a very traditional German hol-iday festival,” said Heinz Ludke, with the Turn Verein. “Our event is modeled it after the Eu-ropean Oktoberfest, and by that I mean good German beer, good German food, lots of danc-ing, and lots of music.”

The main hall will feature traditional German music by the Gruber Family Band and folk danc-ing by Alpentanzer Schuhplattler. Upstairs will stage a more modern rock band, AKA LIVE, for the youthful crowd.

“We encourage people to bring their grand-ma, grandpa, and all the grandkids,” said Lud-ke. “Downstairs is family-friendly, kids and old-er people, younger people that like to dance, and outside in the beer garden, we have another band that plays traditional German beer-drinking music.”

Beers on tap will be authentic Oktober-fest Märzen, the same traditional brews that are served in Munich. To pair with the fuller beers, revelers can enjoy traditional German fare, such as bratwursts, ham hocks, sauerkraut, and pretzels.

Parking is located 100 yards west down J Street.

SACRAMENTO TURN VEREIN oktoBerfest

Auburn Gold Country Rotary has been hosting their annual Oktoberfest for a good cause for nearly the past three decades. Every year, the club gives $12,000 or more to deserving high school graduates in the form of academic and trade school scholarships, including their Alan Young Bootstrap award. “That goes to a boy or girl who is struggling with what life has hand-ed them,” said Linda Fazo, Gold Country Rota-ry’s Oktoberfest coordinator. “If they show that they’re making an attempt to pull themselves up out of it, we give them a couple thousand dollars to help.”

German and domestic beers will be on tap, along with traditional German fare such as sau-sage and sauerkraut, potato salad, pork chops, and dessert. There will be a costume contest, beer stein holding contest, a silent auction, and raffl e prizes. The evening will feature live tradi-tional German music and dancing early in the evening, after which, the rock band A Stone’s Throw will take over.

gold Country rotary’s 28TH ANNUAL OKTOBERFEST

Celebrate fall by raising a mug at Nevada City’s upcoming Oktoberfest. The event will feature pours by local breweries, German food plates, and dessert pies by An Honest Pie. German country folk dancing and lessons will be pre-sented by the Alpine Dancers of Penn Valley accompanied by the Hannebrink Duo. They will be followed by the raucous sounds of Road Test Band, a great “kick of your shoes and get up and dance” band. Also featured is a German motor-cycle exhibit showcasing old and new bikes.

Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and picnic blankets to relax and enjoy the music.

All of the proceeds benefi t the KARE Crisis Nursery, a local non-profi t which provides emer-gency and respite care as well as supervised visits for families with young children who fall on hard times.

The Lincoln Knights of Columbus’ Oktoberfest has become a community institution, drawing hundreds of people to their annual celebration.

“We’ve been doing this for over 25 years, and every year we’ve improved the quality little by little, in terms of the food we serve and in terms of the entertainment,” said event organiz-er Gerald Voigt. “We’re really trying to give our guests good value for their money.”

That value includes a night full of hearty Ger-man food, beer, dancing and live music, includ-ing performances by the Gruber Family Band and the Sacramento Alpentaenzer Schuhplat-ter dancers.

Three different kinds of bratwurst, sauerkraut, and German potato salad will be served for din-ner, and German style lagers from Sudwerk and Gordon Biersch will be on tap

“Until two years ago, we purchased German bottled beers. But lots of local microbreweries have started doing such a good job in brewing German beers that we’re using draft beers from these breweries,” said Voigt.

The proceeds of the Knights of Columbus’ Oktoberfest benefi t several charitable groups, including the Wheelchair Foundation, Lincoln High School scholarships, Ride To Walk, and Veteran Stand Down.

Halloween in Colfax will be a treat for trick-or-treaters and their parents. The Colfax Down-town Association and the Colfax Theater will be hosting an adult-only Oktoberfest celebration during the day and then a family-friendly down-town zombie-themed walk and trick-or-treat in the evening.

“In the morning we would like to have a real Oktoberfest with good German food, German beers, and some good music, and if possible, some dancing,” said event organizer David Mark, with the Colfax Downtown Association.

“Later on in the evening we’re going to have a Zombie Walk for the kids. It will be on Main Street, starting at the fl ag pole and ending at the Colfax Theatre.”

There will be a costume contest with prizes for fi rst, second, and third place, along with a family-friendly movie showing at the theater af-ter, starting at 8 p.m. While trick-or-treating is free, the proceeds from the Oktoberfest will go to the Colfax Youth Club.

DeadPhish Orchestra pays tribute to Grateful Dead, PhishMUsiC in the MoMent

W hen the Grateful Dead dis-banded after Jerry Garcia’s

death in 1995, the jam band man-tle was handed down to Phish, the decade-old Vermont-based quar-tet. That lasted a good 10 years, until Phish took hiatus and the void was fi lled by numerous Grateful Dead tribute bands, keeping the cigarette-lighter fl ame alive until Phish would regroup in 2009, and the Dead themselves staged a fi ve-show “fare-thee-well” come-back this past summer (with Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio fi lling in for Garcia).

But don’t think those Grateful Dead tribute bands are going any-where. In fact, the genre is thriv-ing, and this month, DeadPhish Orchestra, a Colorado-based band that covers – you guessed it – both

Grateful Dead and Phish songs, is coming to Auburn.

“So many bands out there are playing their music right now,” said guitarist Paul Murin. “Even bands already established with their own sounds will cover Dead songs now and then.”

Murin managed to see the Grateful Dead a number of times while Garcia was still alive.

“I was pretty young at the time,” he said. “I was probably about 17, old enough to drive. I lived in Chicago and I’d see their three or four day runs at Alpine Valley. It was very eye opening to me to say the least.”

He and his wife caught all three comeback shows in Chicago this summer, and saw Phish in New York in late August. Bass player

Brian Adams was also fortunate enough to catch all three Chicago shows, but, alas, he is too young to have experienced the Jerry Garcia version. But he did catch Phish as early as 1995.

“The have the same spirit of the music, of the moment,” Ad-ams said. “The energy is defi nitely comparable.”

It’s that energy, Murin said, that draws many musicians and fans to their music.

“The improvised nature of it, the fact that different things could hap-pen on any given song on any giv-en night,” Murin said. “I don’t think the Grateful Dead were big fans of rehearsing. Especially in their later days. Phish, in their fi rst decade, spent many hours in the practice room, but I just don’t think it was a

Grateful Dead aesthetic.”For all their jam-band broth-

erhood, there are differences be-tween the two bands. The Dead-Phish website points out how the Grateful Dead were an earthy, folksy, bluesy band, where Phish is sharper around the edges, funky and more aggressive. But the spirit of spontaneity and the magic that it brings to the stage will forever link these two bands. The question is, does the genre have the staying power to look ahead for another possible torch passing?

“I would hope so,” Adams said. “I’ve seen it happen a couple of generations now. A friend of mine’s kids are Phish heads and Dead-heads. I would certainly hope that the spirit stays alive. We’re trying to do our part.”

Ji in Yang to perform with Auburn Symphony

ConCerto A ChAllenge she’s looking forwArD to

t he violin she plays is nearly three centuries old. The con-

certo she will perform is relatively new at 76 years old. Ji in Yang is 33, and she’s spent as much of her life in love with music as she has trying to fi nd her way in it.

“It wasn’t until I was 16 that I real-ized I really, really loved music, that was all I wanted to do,” she said.

“It was an amazing year for me.”Yang grew up in Seoul, South

Korea, where she learned to play piano at age 3, mostly because she tagged along to her older sib-ling’s lessons.

“I didn’t really like it though, it wasn’t my thing at the time,” she said. “I went to kindergarten – my teacher’s daughter was a profes-sional violinist – and she thought I had musical talent and suggest-ed to my mom that I take violin lessons. I came home from kin-dergarten one day and there was my fi rst teacher, who, in my eyes at the time was so beautiful and

loved me as if I were her daugh-ter. It really clicked and I’ve been very lucky to have great teachers throughout my life.”

One of those teachers, Hyo Kang, she met in Korea but he taught at Juilliard School in New York City. He invited her to move to the States and study with him.

“I was 13, and I spoke no En-glish,” Yang said. “Because of my siblings and their work, my parents couldn’t come. But I had an aunt in Long Island and I lived with her. Even then, I don’t think I was sure that it was going to be my life. I think I was too young.”

That was 20 years ago and since then Yang has appeared on pres-tigious stages around the world, including those in London, Paris, Seoul, Beijing, Washington D.C. and New York City. She’s appeared as a soloist with numerous orches-tras, from the New Amsterdam Symphony to the Suwon Philhar-monic, and this month, she’ll make

her second appearance with the Auburn Symphony.

“I’ve known her since she was a kid at the Aspen Music Festival,” said Auburn Symphony conduc-tor Peter Jaffe. “She studied with Dorothy Delay at Juilliard, who has taught some of the virtuoso violin-ists. Ji in is one of the many young geniuses who studied with her. When I started working with the Auburn Symphony I had her very much in mind and called her up and asked her to be a soloist. She gave an amazing performance the last time and it stole everybody’s heart. We are so delighted she will be returning.”

Ji in Yang will be playing the Barber: Violin Concerto, which ac-cording to Jaffe, is “a great mix of fi repower and virtuoso fi reworks with a lot of passion. Ji in is the perfect person for this vehicle.”

She admits it is a challenging piece, and collaboration with the orchestra is vital.

“It’s very important to learn their way of language when playing with a symphony,” she said. “I will be there a week. I practice my part and try to learn the orchestras’ part as well. I study the history of the piece and I try to understand the music in depth, the best I can. Then I try to express it in my own way. The fi rst two movements are very lyrical, technically not as challeng-ing, but the third movement is all about technique. It’s very fast with non-stop running triplets through-out. A very tricky movement but a really fun piece to play. I am very thrilled and look forward to it.”

The Petrus Guarnerius violin she will play was made in Venice in 1723, when Louis the XV was King of France and Bach was cranking out church cantatas. There is a lot of musical history in that instru-ment, and Yang seems up to the task of living up to it and making a little of her own in the process.

Royal Southern Brotherhood stirs the musical gumbosoUl of the soUth

W hen Royal Southern Broth-erhood went into the stu-

dio to record their latest album, for at least one member, it was a dream come true.

“We got to do it at FAME studio in Muscle Shoals,” said Cyril Nev-ille. “The soundtrack to our lives were recorded there. I was record-ing in the same place as Wilson Pickett and Etta James and Are-tha Franklin and Irma Thomas. It was just an electric feeling walking through that door.”

Cyril, the youngest of the Nev-ille Brothers and a former member of New Orleans funk band The Me-ters, said a lot of the record was them playing live in the studio.

“What you’re hearing on the record is a performance,” he said,

“so it’s easy to transfer what we did in the studio on to the stage.”

One of the stages they will be occupying soon is that of the Au-burn Event Center, when they bring

their rock/blues/funk and then some to the foothills on Oct. 16.

“They call us the soul of the south,” Neville said. “We do some Meters, we do some Neville Brothers, but we do it in a Royal Southern Brotherhood way. We are not copying, we are expanding on things I have done. The thing is, these guys all love that music, we all grew up listening to it, so it’s easy to incorporate it. We do some laid back kind of uptown New Orleans funk, but at the same time, everything we do is based in the blues. The blues are the roots of the American musical gumbo. We’re a blues band, rock and roll throwbacks.”

Cyril’s been called the South’s last great soul singer, but he’ll argue “there’s a heap of them out there,” including Anthony Hamilton, John Bucait and Wal-ter Wolfman Washington. These days, he fi nds satisfaction in the

smiles on the audiences faces. Forty years ago, satisfaction came when The Meters opened for the Rolling Stones.

“That is something that’s im-printed on my soul,” he said. “To get to tour for three months with the greatest rock and roll band ever, it’s like a kid running away with the circus. To meet those guys and talk to Keith Richards about the blues

– to see his blues record collection – I’ll always respect how they treat-ed the music and the people who made the music they love.

“They came to the States seek-ing out Muddy Waters and those other guys and brought them back to Europe to let everybody know where they got the music from. They had respect not just for the music but the source. I felt real blessed to be counted among the people the Stones saw as some-thing they wanted to present to the rest of the world. It’s like those

guys, to me, in the entertainment industry, they got the biggest balls out there.”

Besides keyboardist Neville, Royal Southern Brotherhood also features the original rhythm section of Yonrico Scott (drums) and Char-lie Wooton (bass); and guitarists Bart Walker and Tyrone Vaughan.

“Everybody better wake up and call to everybody that has love in their hearts to step up and do something, put something positive in the world,” Neville said. “Peo-ple are people and music is one of those forces that no matter what barriers emotionally or physically might be blocking them from other sources of joy, music breaks down all of that. I am glad to be in a po-sition to add something positive to the world. And bring two pairs of dancing shoes with you because you might wear the fi rst pair out.”

tAking the MiDDle roAD

C enturies ago, when economic and political forces drove the

Scottish “Highlanders” into the lowlands, they brought their culture with them, most notably the Celtic music, with all its mystic beauty. Down below, a rougher-edged music had kept the folks singing and dancing for years. But the two styles would merge to eventually form a traditional Scottish sound that is still played today by bands like the Tannahill Weavers.

Of course, singer and guitarist Roy Gullane feels any musical dif-ferences these days is less about high/low, and runs more along east/west lines.

“There’s not much of a differ-ence, the Celts are everywhere,” Gullane said. “On the west coast of Scotland the Celtic infl uence is very strong. On the east coast you’ll hear a little Scandinavian music, but to the untrained ear it’s pretty much all the same.”

And it’s not like they play the traditional music in the tradition-al way per se.

“Our early infl uence, like most teens, we were drawn to rock and roll,’ he said. “We basical-ly play rock and roll rhythms to Celtic music.”

Rock and roll rhythms — and bagpipes.

“The Irish bands were using the Uilleann pipes to great success,” Gullane said. “We just thought, can we not do that with Highland pipes?’ So we gave it a go, worked out the rough spots and it started to work. The rest is history.”

Gullane, along with fl ute and bodhran player Phil Smillie, are two of the original members of the band that formed in 1968. Fiddle and cello player John Martin, and piper Lorne MacDougall round out the group. Inducted into the Scot-tish Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2011, their high-energy shows

set them apart from your typical Celtic band.

“It’s the presentation, I would say,” Gullane said. “We do try to involve the audience a lot more than other bands. And we spin a few yarns during the course of the night.”

They have been touring the United States since 1981, develop-ing a solid following over the years.

“It’s one of highlights of the year, coming over there,” he said. “It’s such a very big country. No two states are alike. There’s always something of great interest.”

And while he couldn’t pinpoint a “favorite” place to play in the States, there’s one place that never fails to provide a very enthusias-tic audience.

“Ohio, for some strange reason, seems to give us a good follow-ing,” he said. “But there is some-thing for everybody in our show, it’s very entertaining. You don’t have to be a diehard folk fan to en-joy the show.”

And you don’t have to be from Ohio either.
