The Good Life Fund exists to spread the message of my song, The Good Life: Empowerment, positivity, and hope for all people, regardless of who they are, where they come from, what they practice, or what they look like. Give A Note Foundation and Rebuilding Together are two organizations who are doing this in very unique and impactful ways. Give A Note Foundation was created to bring awareness to the importance of music education and to nurture, grow, and strengthen music education opportunities—for every student, every school, and every community. Rebuilding Together restores, rebuilds and performs essential repairs at homes of area residents. To date, we’ve made meaningful improve- ments to more than 500 Nashville area homes as we work to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize neighborhoods. These organizations represent so much of what this song is about and I would be honored with your donation to help us spread the message of The Good Life. “I’m talking about that good life / I can see / All the colors show us what it really means / To be beautiful.” About the beneficiaries: Give A Note Foundation was created to bring awareness to the importance of music educa- tion and to nurture, grow, and strengthen music education opportunities—for every student, ev- ery school, and every community. Because music not only offers students the chance to develop creativity and self-expression, but also builds skills such as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking that are necessary for success. Rebuilding Together Nashville, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, restores, rebuilds and provides critical repairs at homes of low-income residents. For over 20 years, Rebuilding Together has served the Nashville community by helping to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize neighbor- hoods. Glide Magazine says Teddy Thompson lives up to his family’s legacy “The son of Richard and Linda Thompson, Teddy Thompson, has always been burdened with a rich legacy to uphold but he’s done quite well as a producer, solo artist, and as a contributor to projects of others. Heartbreaker Please is his sixth solo album, the latest installment of his melodic, hook-filled roots and pop style, evoking memories of the Everly Brothers and some of the early rock n’ rollers. He certainly doesn’t bear the trappings of English folk-rock like his parents. He left London at age 18, settled in New York five years later and has remained there for 20 years, establishing himself as a driving force with the city’s musical artists. Thompson has remained a key force in family projects, having participated with his parents and sister Kami (The Rails) on 2014’s Family.

  • Ten Thousand Roses
    Dori Freeman’s inimitable signature sound is in peak form on her fourth studio album, Ten Thou- sand Roses. Raised among a family of musicians in the Blue Ridge Mountains and hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of the most authentic vocalists to emerge from the hills of southwestern Virginia in recent years,” she’s a bonafide Appalachian artist, while simultaneously shattering the archetype by empowering the characters in her songs with personal strength and homegrown wisdom. Through this process, she both defies and expands notions of what it means to be from the region. Ten Thousand Roses follows three widely acclaimed records produced by Teddy Thompson, one of which produced “You Say,” which continues to find fans, steadily climbing toward six million streams on Spotify, largely by word of mouth. Freeman has been praised by outlets such as NPR, Rolling Stone and The New York Times, but has chosen to remain outside of Nashville literally and figuratively. She lives in Galax, Virginia, where she says she’s been better able to develop her music in a truer way to her personally. “I’ve never been drawn to living in the city as much as I love visiting them. I prefer a rural, small town life,” says Freeman. She also believes that liv- ing apart from the industry frees her from the pressure to fit current ideas of what a genre should sound like. “I just make music I like and hope other people will like it, too.” Dori Freeman has always been an artist who’s had an eclectic range of influences and the ability to deliver deeply moving vocals in a variety of styles that comprise the Americana genre.

  • Booty & Cheeba
    BOOTY & CHEEBA by Ryan Gaio B.A. (Honours Specialization), English Language and Literature, University of Western Ontario, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of English Supervisor: Mark Anthony Jarman, MFA, English Examining board: Stephen Schryer, PhD, English Christine Horne, PhD, French This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May, 2017 © Ryan Gaio, 2017 ii ABSTRACT Booty & Cheeba is a creative writing thesis consisting of six interconnected chapters focused on a small-town high school. The set is framed by an adult narrator reflecting on his teenaged past and his relationship to the school in discussion. These reflections on the past are used to emphasize the importance of embracing the present. Through its exploration of high school years, the text investigates the “naïve ambition of youth;” this attitude, characteristic of this stage of adolescence, is one that the thesis ultimately defends and even praises. iii DEDICATION This thesis could not have been written without the assistance of many, and to them, I wish to express my deepest thanks. To all my writing mentors, particularly Mark, but also Robin, Larry, David, and each of the fellow students who sat with me at a long green table: thank you for teaching me how to tell stories. To all my professors: thank you for teaching me what good stories are. To the many alumni of NDSS, especially Cheryl, Tina, Marty, Odarka, and the McCarthys, who kindly gave me their time and memories: thank you for helping me find my way around a school that I did not go to.

  • Weeds Like Us
    P.O. Box 2093, Santa Barbara, CA 93120 (805) 687-3963, FAX (805) 682-8305 e-mail: [email protected] (www.householdink.com) Julie Christensen Weeds like Us Great Plains Soul (by Josef Woodard) Julie Christensen belongs firmly in the ranks of artists with deep roots in the spirit of “Americana,” going back long before such a genre was thusly known. Those roots are clearer and stronger than ever on her powerful new album Weeds like Us, her sixth album overall and third for Household Ink Records. Within this cohesive collection of tracks, the singer belts out bluesbasted and soulful tunes and nestles into folk and country material with grit and wisdom. She even cleanly expresses the pop side of her musical being. Christensen does all this with a potent genuineness which bumps her latest album up a level, wielding a renewed musical mission statement. A quick gander at Christensen’s long, winding and heartfelt road in music touches on the landscapes - cultural and actual – which helped shape her "Great Plains Soul" vision. Born in Iowa City and raised in Central Iowa, she spent some years in Austin, Texas and wound up in Los Angeles in time to soak up -- and also influence -- the rich post-punk and roots-revival scene there. Her musical path included a co-leader role in the seminal, SST-signed country-punk band Divine Horseman, working on her ne'er released album for Polygram with Todd Rundgren, and a significant stint as a background singer with Leonard Cohen during his fertile late '80's-early ‘90s period.

  • Dori Freeman’S New Album, Every Single Star, May Seem Full of Hope, but [email protected] She’S Got Plenty of Fight Left in Her
    ori Freeman first broke out in 2016, with a stunning debut produced byTeddy DThompson and a sparkling voice that seemed to come from out of nowhere. Her songs were brittle, cracked, infused with heartbreak and seeming to speak for women everywhere, channeling Appalachian women in a way that harkened back to Loretta Lynn. NPR spoke of her “bruised sort of romanticism” and Noisey referenced her “heart-wrenching moments.” Freeman had written her first album on the heels of a failed relationship, a suddenly-single mother in a small town. There was a bitter taste in her songwriting that reflected the fiercely independent streak Appalachian women are known for and her own lack of patience for bullshit. Three years later, she’s now happily married (to drummer Nick Falk), and her new album, Every Single Star, to be released September 13, 2019 on Blue Hens Music (her second album on her own label after 2017’s Letters Never Read), features a very different perspective. She’s writing songs now for her new love, and for her daughter, as beholden as ever to the traditions that first inspired her as a young girl growing up in Galax, Virginia, but full of the same incisive eye for the human condition that’s always been her hallmark. Still, she wonders how she’ll be perceived now that she’s writing songs as a contented mother, and not as a jilted lover. “People don’t really talk about motherhood in the music industry,” she says. “Musicians that are also moms and have to juggle touring and being at home and spending enough time with your child; that’s something that’s really hard for me to find balance in.

    Reading the Old Left in the Ewan MacColl and Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop and Beyond: in Joan Littlewood’s post-theatrical engagements in the 1960s. Fatine Bahar Karlidag A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Stefka Mihaylova, Chair Odai Johnson Scott Magelssen Barry Witham Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Drama ©Copyright 2017 Fatine Bahar Karlidag 2 University of Washington Abstract Reading the Old Left in the Ewan MacColl and Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop and Beyond: in Joan Littlewood’s post-theatrical engagements in the 1960s. Fatine Bahar Karlidag Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Stefka Mihaylova School of Drama Based on archival research, recent Joan Littlewood centenary events and contemporary scholarship on the Theatre Workshop of Joan Littlewood and Ewan MacColl, this dissertation proposes to take sides with the radical class politics of the Old Left, or Communism, to read the legacy of MacColl-Littlewood collaboration in theatre, and its continuing impacts on Littlewood’s post-theatrical work in the 1960s’ New Left. This is to demystify the ‘genius’ aura bestowed upon Joan Littlewood; to re-instate Ewan MacColl’s contribution to the legacy of this ground-breaking theatre famously known as that which revolutionized the West End; to retrofit Theatre Workshop as a sample ensemble of the larger frame of the radical left-wing interwar theatres while acknowledging the independent evolution of their work into 1950s, and to further complicate the thematically and textually oriented analytical narratives’ efforts to analyze Theatre Workshop productions.
