'Carnegie Stage' Free Concert Will Feature Eliza Gilkyson, Tony Gilkyson, Billy Childs, and Other Great Performers South Pasadena Public Library's May 3 Eclectic Music Festival 'Carnegie Stage' Free Concert Will feature Eliza Gilkyson, Tony Gilkyson, Billy Childs, and Other Great Performers On Saturday, May 3rd the South Pasadena Public Library Community Room will again serve as ‘The Carnegie Stage,’ one of the premier showcases of the 6th Annual South Pasadena Eclectic Music Festival which will present over a dozen musical acts at free venues around town. Six musical performances will be presented in the Library’s beautiful, historic Community Room. Styles offered will range from Folk to Jazz, and all the way to Bluegrass, Country, and Rock. At 3:00 p.m. the show will lead off with Loafer’s Glory featuring Herb Pederson. Showcasing 3 and 4-part harmonies blended with acoustic banjo, guitar, fiddle, and bass, the group displays hair raising vocals and powerhouse picking . At 4:00 p.m. Elliott Caine and his combo will offer a set of “Blue Note” style jazz. Elliott has performed and/or recorded with Teddy Edwards, O.C. Smith, Wycliff Jean, Beck, and The Beastie Boys, among many others. He was also an integral part of the Latin-ska group, Jump With Joey for three tours of Japan and the USA, and performed at Capitol Records' 50th Anniversary celebration. A South Pasadena resident, Elliott also received a Platinum Record for his work with the rock group, Filter. Jazz pianist/composer extraordinaire and South Pasadena resident Billy Childs will appear with vocalist Moira Smiley at 5:00 p.m. They will be performing songs that will be appearing on Billy’s next album, a re-imagining of songs by Laura Nyro. The album will feature Esperanza Spalding, Chakha Khan, Rickie Lee Jones, and many other special guests. Billy was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2009 and a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award in 2013. He has been called one of the most diversely prolific artists working in music. Billy is also a three-time GRAMMY® winner who has appeared at the Monterey Jazz Festival and with the Kronos Quartet at Disney Music Hall. Powdercoat featuring Kristin Mooney and Claire Holley will appear at 6:00 p.m. The duo began singing together a few years ago when a mutual friend re-introduced them. The two had an immediate vocal chemistry and soon began writing together. Their self-titled EP came out last fall, and Huffington Post called it “one of the year's loveliest recordings.” The EP also was selected as Winner of the 2014 MIAL (Mississippi Institute of Arts & Letters) Award for Popular Music Composition. At 7:00 p.m. Rick Shea and bassist Dave Hall will perform a set that embraces traditional Folk and Country elements. Shea, a skilled vocalist and formidable guitarist, has released 6 widely- praised albums and has worked with many famous musicians including Roots Rock kingpin Dave Alvin and Rock legends, R.E.M. His new album “Sweet Bernardine” is a folk troubadour’s dream collection of personal stories of California and the Southwest. Rick has performed to enthusiastic Eclectic Fest audiences the last 2 years. 8:00 p.m. will bring a much-anticipated set showcasing Tony Gilkyson and Eliza Gilkyson. Eliza and Tony grew up brother and sister in South Pasadena in an environment of songwriters and musicians and have both gone on to superlative musical careers. Tony started recording as a boy with his father, Terry Gilkyson, a prominent folksinger/songwriter in his own right. Terry was the lead singer on The Weavers’ #1 hit from 1950 “On Top of Old Smokey” and he received an Academy Award® nomination in 1967 for his “The Bare Necessities” from “The Jungle Book.” Terry’s group, The Easy Riders had their own big 50s hit, the Calypso song “Marianne” (all day, all night Marianne), and Terry co-wrote “Memories Are Made of This” for Dean Martin’s only #1 hit in 1956. Tony Gilkyson played guitar with the Los Angeles band X for ten years, starting with the acclaimed album “See How We Are” and continuing through the all-acoustic live recording, “X Unclogged.” Other artists he has played and recorded with include Lone Justice, Peter Rowan, Dave Alvin, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, and k.d. lang, He has produced recordings for Exene Cervenka, sister Eliza Gilkyson and Dances with Wolves author and poet Michael Blake. With Tom Waits, he co-produced Chuck E. Weiss’ albums “Extremely Cool” and “Old Souls & Wolf Tickets.” Tony also has played guitar on numerous film sound tracks including the Johnny Cash biopic “Walk the Line,” and “All the King’ s Men,” with noted producer T Bone Burnett. Eliza Gilkyson is a GRAMMY®-nominated singer, songwriter and activist who has become one of the most respected musicians in Folk, Roots and Americana circles. The daughter of legendary songwriter Terry Gilkyson, Eliza entered the music world as a teenager, recording demos for her father. Since then she has released 20 recordings of her own, and her songs have been covered by Joan Baez, Bob Geldof, Tom Rush and Rosanne Cash and have been used in films, PBS specials and on prime-time TV. Eliza has appeared on NPR, Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage, Air America Radio and has toured worldwide as a solo artist and in support of Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Dan Fogelberg, as well as with the Woody Guthrie review, “Ribbon of Highway-Endless Skyway” alongside the Guthrie Family and special guests Pete Seeger, Jackson Browne and Kris Kristofferson. Eliza has been inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame alongside such legends as Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt and Nanci Griffith. She has been accorded many of the Austin Chronicle’s various music awards, as well as Folk Alliance awards for Best Artist, Best Songwriter and Record of the Year. Her CD “Land of Milk and Honey” was nominated for a GRAMMY® for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Eliza’s meditative “Requiem,” written as a prayer for those who lost their lives in the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia, was recorded by the internationally recognized choral group Conspirare, whose version was nominated for a GRAMMY®. The song has become a standard in choir repertory the world over. In addition to touring in support of her previous release “Roses at the End of Time” in 2011 and 2012, Eliza and label-mates John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky performed as the “Folk Super Trio” Red Horse, a side project which hovered atop the Folk Music Charts for months. Eliza recently was invited to contribute a track for the Jackson Browne tribute, “Looking Into You” (released in 2014), along with Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Shawn Colvin, Bonnie Raitt and others. Her latest release on Red House Records, “The Nocturne Diaries,” produced by her son Cisco Ryder, is a restless contemplative work inspired by her highest hopes and darkest fears. The free concert is able to be presented because of the partnership between the South Pasadena Public Library, the Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library, the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, Levitt Pavilion, The City of South Pasadena, The Rotary Club of South Pasadena, and the Woman’s Club of South Pasadena, Special thanks to Bob McClain/ S&B Sound, South Pasadena Mercantile, South Pasadena Unified School District, and Videotheque. Parking will be available in the Superintendent of Schools Office lot across the street—its driveway is located on Fairview just north of El Centro. The Library Community Room is located at 1115 El Centro Street. Doors will open at 2:30 p.m. No tickets or reservations are necessary, but seating is very limited. Audience members are advised to arrive early as seats could become very hard to come by. Refreshments will be provided and CDs will be for sale.

    PRODUCED BY RAY MANZAREK Originally released April 1980 Originally released May 1981 Originally released July 1982 Originally released September 1983 Frank Gargani Debbie Leavitt Power... Passion... Poetry! Attack the world. Let’s do some damage. What a band. Four monsters of skin. My favorite rockers of the then time. John Doe - Mr. Handsome - of the deep rich voice, the hard, strong jaw, the angular bass stance and the hot/cool lyrics. Their harmonies - some would say Schoenberg - his partner Exene, of the wailing scream in the night, the clear eyed pinning of American failings, the fine words of Diana Bonebrake love and booze and madness in the midnight dawn of Los Angeles. “Johny Hit and Run Paulene...” and he’s got a sterilized hypo filled with a sex-machine drug, and he only has 24 hours to shoot all Paulenes between the legs. So get busy, boy. And he does. Listen to those words! That naughty, naughty Johny. I love ‘em. And Exene’s “The World’s a Mess, it’s in My Kiss.” I just love that crazy combination: World - Mess - Kiss. And Billy Zoom on guitar, or is that at least 3 or 4 guitars. How does he do it? It’s so massive, so sharp, so bright, so fucking LOUD!!! And he is so silver smooth and cool. Effortless fingering, impeccable on the frets. Doesn’t he ever make a mistake? Is he a flesh and blood Valhalla guitar god? Yeahhh! And who is that madman beating the living shit out those drums? Ladies and Gentleman... D.

Razorcake is a bi-monthly, Los Angeles-based fanzine that provides consistent coverage of do-it-yourself punk culture. We believe in positive, progressive, community-friendly DIY punk, and are the only bona fide 501(c)(3) non-profit music magazine in America. We do our part. An Oral History of The Gun Club originally appeared in Razorcake #29, released in December 2005/January 2006. Original artwork and layout by Todd Taylor. Photos by Edward Colver, Gary Leonard and Romi Mori. Cover photo by Edward Colver. Zine design by Marcos Siref. Printing courtesy of Razorcake Press, Razorcake.org he Gun Club is one of Los Angeles’s greatest bands. Lead singer, guitarist, and figurehead Jeffrey Lee Pierce fits in easily with Tthe genius songwriting of Arthur Lee (Love), Chris Hillman (Byrds), and John Doe and Exene (X). Unfortunately, neither he nor his band achieved the notoriety of his fellow luminary Angelinos. From 1979 to 1996, Jeffrey manned the Gun Club ship through thick and mostly thin. Understandably, the initial Fire of Love and Miami lineup of Ward Dotson (guitar), Rob Ritter (bass), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals/ guitar) and Terry Graham (drums) remains the most beloved; setting the spooky, blues-punk template for future Gun Club releases. At the time of its release, Fire of Love was heralded by East Coast critics as one of the best albums of 1981.

With more artifacts and space than previously planned, the exhibit will give visitors a glimpse into how X's four original members – Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake – quickly established the band as one of the best in the first wave of L.A.'s flourishing punk scene. Items on display will include: • Original instruments and gear played by the band • Handwritten lyrics and notebooks by Exene Cervenka and John Doe • Clothing and other personal items • Original concert flyers for L.A. shows • Rare photographs and artwork by Exene • X: The Unheard Music film, and more!

"X played such an integral role in developing the West Coast punk movement, and we are excited to tell that story, now with even more artifacts and ephemera than previously planned." "When we were in the early stages of developing the exhibit, we knew what an important story we’d be telling, but we had no idea just how many photographs, artifacts, and other items we would have access to,” continues GRAMMY Museum Curator Nwaka Onwusa.

  • John Gorka Interview
    A Conversation with John Gorka Frank Goodman (Puremusic 3/2001) John Gorka’s career as a singer songwriter appears charmed, filled with good breaks and good luck. It brings to mind what a friend of mine says: “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” Anyone who knows John Gorka will tell you that he’s been after it relentlessly since the mid-80s, and has clearly risen to the top of the field. After cutting his teeth at a great listening room in eastern PA called Godfrey Daniels and becoming a regular in Jack Hardy’s Fast Folk crowd in NYC, he got off to a flying start when Red House Records and Fleming Tamulevitch & Associates booking picked him up simultaneously in 1987. FTA are the agents that veritably control the folk world, and Red House one of the most distinguished and coveted labels. John plays up to 150 shows a year at every venue that books singer songwriters, and has earned a fan base that will probably sustain his career the rest of his natural life, along with the new believers each year brings. After two records with Red House, John made five with Windham Hill’s High Street Records, all to critical acclaim. In search of a more art, less commerce approach to his music, Gorka’s happily back with his original label on the last two records. His latest pearl is called The Company You Keep. The most important company he’s keeping these days are his wife and two kids outside of St. Paul, MN, and I hear them featured in spirit throughout.
