But one shop in the heart of the Village remains resilient to the encroaching gentrification: Carmine Street Guitars. There, custom guitar maker Rick Kelly and his young apprentice Cindy Hulej, build handcrafted guitars out of reclaimed wood from old hotels, bars, churches and other local buildings. Nothing looks or sounds quite like a Rick Kelly guitar, which is the reason they are embraced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch, just to name a few.

  • Kevin Ryan, Dallasobserver.Com: Chaka Khan Emerged Like A
    Kevin Ryan, dallasobserver.com: Chaka Khan emerged like a flamenco dancer, fluttering a silken hand-fan with “CHAKA” etched into its folds. She was the surprise guest for The Roots’ collaboration with the Dallas Pops at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory on Tuesday night, and when she strode onto the stage an hour into the show, the audience lost their minds. Behind her, a 50-piece orchestra sweated in tuxedos. “OK, this next song I’m sure most of you over 30 are familiar with,” she said, her gold sequin dress reflecting light. Chimes rang. Strings undulated. Robert Glasper spun - one-handed - through a synth lead in a beanie, fingers spidering across the keyboard. It took a moment for the crowd to recognize the song “I Know You, I Live You.” With the orchestra, it sounded like Les Fleur-era Minnie Riperton. The beat wasn’t the electronic pulse of the original; it was exotic. Khan sang in perfect bursts, with a rowdy but angelic voice that induced shivers. She didn’t even need a microphone. The show had begun much quieter, with a lone synth and a sample from a poem about death, possibilities and dreaming. Black Thought dove into “Web” over strings, which animated the song. The beat stomped hard as the cellos swayed with Sam Cooke grace. A sea of heads nodded to the sweeping sounds of violins. Each song blended seamlessly into the next. No stops, no chatter, no politics, no time wasted - just music. The Roots’ “Star” melded into Miles Davis, melded into “20 Feet Tall.” Erykah Badu strode onstage in a Tom Petty top hat and majestic jewelry.

    The Comic’s Comic January 29th, 2016 By Sean L. McCarthy Picture This! with Brandie Posey illustrates stand-up comedy while also commenting upon it There's a fine line between heckling and helping, and it's drawn via invitation. A shout from the audience? Unwarranted. No, thank you. You don't have a microphone or a spotlight on you, nor audience members paying to see you, so please, do keep your comments to yourself. Replace those word noises with giggles and laughs and we're all happy. Some shows deflect any negative impulse by incorporating feedback into their very structure, either from the host or from other performers. Think of The Benson Interruption on Comedy Central or in theaters, where Doug Benson sat onstage with microphone still in hand while his guests told jokes or stories. MST3K made it all about the performers enhancing sub-par movies with top- notch riffing. Now picture this. Or, rather: Picture This! Hosted and co-created by Brandie Posey (co-host of the Lady to Lady podcast) with Sam Varela, Picture This! features animators and cartoonists on the side of the stage drawing up art on an overhead projector that accompanies, illustrates or comments upon what the stand-up comedian is saying in real time. Or not, even? Picture This! began in Los Angeles in 2012 and since has franchised monthly or regular shows in New York City, San Francisco and Portland, Ore. -- traveled to Melbourne's International Comedy Festival in 2013 and hit five different comedy festivals in 2015. "This is a super cool show, I'm proud to be a part of it," Jay Larson said after his performance last weekend at SFSketchfest.

    CONTENTS. - hello. - overview + design. - talent highlights. - marketing + pr. - competitive analysis. - sample chapters. - bio + contact. DAVID CROSS HELLO. Hi. Welcome. Mandee Johnson here, one of the producers and creators of The Super Serious Show. Joel Mandelkorn, my co-producer and partner is here too... We started The Super Serious Show in the summer of 2010 at a time when the independent comedy scene in Los Angeles was lacking shows presented and produced outside established comedy venues. We set out to build a stand-up show that represented everything we loved. An hour pre-party with great music, an amazing food truck for cheap eats, free beer/wine, and a well curated lineup. We are not comedians. We are producers. I’m also a photographer... Obviously. The portraits started off with a simple goal: document the comedians on the show. To capture each comedian at this time and place I took two 4x5 Polaroids (one serious and one silly) at The Super Serious Show. Over the last nine years the series has grown, the portraits are an iconic symbol of the show and the independent comedy. It also became a deeply personal series to me - it not only documents the comedians themselves but a moment in time in comedy history. To be clear, we didn’t start this show with big plans. We started it to be a part of the comedy community. I definitely didn’t start shooting the portraits to create a series with over 1,000 portraits, but here we are. Our lives are intertwined with this world- relationships dating back before marriages, pre-kids..

  • MUSIC of the NIGHT Tonight Show’S Orchestra
    JAN/FEB 2010 ISSUE MMUSICMAG.COM JAN/FEB 2010 ISSUE MMUSICMAG.COM or more than four decades, we’ve turned on TV late at night to see F talk-show hosts joking about the latest scandal and celebrities hawking their new films. But more discerning listeners know that when they tune in post- primetime, they’re also hearing some of the best musicians in the business—masters of precision who can tackle any genre and pick up the slightest cue. Since the halcyon days of Johnny Carson and Doc Severinsen’s Tonight Show band, house bands have punctuated hosts’ antics, musically introduced guests, played in and out of commercials and composed original scores for sketches—all in a night’s work. It’s time to shine a spotlight on the aces behind the music. PAUL SHAFFER AND Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra THE CBS ORCHESTRA CBS/Late David Letterman Show With The Late Show With David Letterman to CBS in 1993. Shaffer initially resisted group jibed with not only the format of BANDLEADER: Paul Shaffer (keyboards) adding horns to the band, as it would affect Late Night With Conan O’Brien, but also CuRRENt LiNE-up: Anton Fig (percussion), Felicia Collins (guitar), Sid McGinnis (guitar), Will the versatility that became the quartet’s the emerging 1990s swing revival. And, Lee (bass), Tom Malone (trombone), Alan Chez hallmark. “Horns meant arrangements and as O’Brien had hoped, it recalled an older (trumpet/flugelhorn), Bruce Kapler (saxophone) more complex voicings,” he notes. “But the generation of late-night TV in both sound NotABLE foRmER mEmBERs: Steve Jordan, players I chose are masters of flexibility.” and look.
