  • The Folk Projectwants You…
    TThehe FFolkolk PProjectroject September 2019 www.FolkProject.org TM Special Alert: David Stoddard Fri., Sep. 6, 7:30pm • At the Troubadour Of late, it has become difficult to book a relatively unknown songwriter at the Troubadour. If people haven’t heard the name, they tend to not come out no matter how good (s)he is. Let me put in a personal plug for David Stoddard, who will be appearing for us on September 6. He cold-contacted me and sent me a live demo that just knocked me out. Great writing, great stage presence, great presentation. Intelligent, and with heart. I booked him to open for Cheryl Wheeler back in March to expose him to a large crowd. He blew that crowd away. They overwhelmingly voted him to come youtube.com/c/FolkProjectVideo back as a headliner, and almost cleaned him out of the CDs he brought to sell. If you were there in March, he’s already on your calendar. If you didn’t catch him in March, take the March audience’s word for it, as well as mine. Take a chance and come on out to see his headline set on September 6. —Mike Agranoff, Troubadour Program Chair Concert Window Shutting Down Effective Mon., Sept. 16. After nearly a decade, the time has come for Concert Window to shut down. We will be closing our “doors” on September 16, 2019. Concerts between now and then will continue to work as usual. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your continued support of Concert Window.

Back by popular demand, this year’s lineup sees the multi- platinum-selling Ladies joined by Ben Folds Five and Guster for a hot-ticket-tour set to kick off June 17th at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas, TX. The “Last Summer On Earth 2013” will hit 30 arenas and amphitheaters across the country, with fan club-only pre-sales tickets starting March 19th, followed by a public sale on March 22nd at Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com (full itinerary below). As an added bonus, those who purchase tickets for “The Last Summer On Earth” will receive a voucher for a download of the Barenaked Ladies’ much-anticipated new album to be released June 4th on Vanguard Records, featuring the single “Boomerang.” Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds and Ryan Miller from Guster shot a video announcing the tour, which Rolling Stone debuted this morning. Click here to view. It’ll be a busy summer for the Barenaked Ladies (guitarist/vocalist Ed Robertson, bassist/vocalist Jim Creeggan, keyboardist/vocalist Kevin Hearn and drummer/vocalist Tyler Stewart), who are celebrating their 25th anniversary with the release of a brand-new studio album (their twelfth, for those keeping count) and their first for new label Vanguard Records.

  • THE RETRIEVER WEEKLY Arts & Entertainment the Retriever Dials in to Chat with Damon and Dicaprio
    16 September 26, 2006 THE RETRIEVER WEEKLY Arts & Entertainment The Retriever dials in to chat with Damon and DiCaprio KATE NUNLEY Retriever Weekly Editorial Staff This weekend, Martin Scorcese’s new crime drama The Departed will debut in theatres around the country. The film, set in Boston, focuses on two men from opposite sides of the law going undercover. The Departed’s all- star cast includes Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg. The movie was originally a huge hit in Hong Kong titled Internal Affairs. The Retriever Weekly was given the opportunity to participate in a teleconference with Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. The plot, in a nutshell, is based around secret identities. Young cop Billy Costigan (DiCaprio) has gone undercover inside the Irish mob run by Frank Costello (Nicholson). Meanwhile, Colin Sullivan (Damon) is a criminal working as a mole inside the police department. Both men become engrossed by their respective double lives as they gather information. However, it soon becomes obvious to both the police department and the mob that they each have a spy working from within their organization. Costigan and Sullivan are thrown into a race to discover the identity of their counterpart in order to avoid self-destruction. The Warner Brothers teleconference began on a Friday around noon and an admittedly [Courtesy of Warner Brothers] nervous Retriever Weekly staff member dialed Face Off: Colin Sullivan (Damon) and Billy Costigan (Dicaprio) race to discover one anothers’ identities. in.
