  • Can Milwaukee Festivals Compete?
    Arts and Entertainment Summer 2010 _________________ Donna the Buffalo’s Tara Nevins, left, and Woody Platt of Steep Canyon Rangers, both have played in Milwaukee, but are local festivals too big to showcase quality? Photos by Geoff Davidian Smaller venues offer sober, cleaner, family-friendly chance to see popular acts By GEOFF DAVIDIAN ILKESBORO, North Carolina – It was Sunday morning and Dan Fedoryka looked every bit a Baptist preacher in his white suit as he stepped out of the Church Bus, walked a hundred or so yards over a worn path and mounted the raised platform where he would perform a ritual that has become familiar in this Appalachian community. The sun was shining and it was already in the 80s when the 30-year-old former student at a Ukrainian seminary slipped off his jacket, folded it and placed it neatly on the back of a chair, rolled up his sleeves and turned to the energetic congregation. Then Fedoryka strapped on his guitar and jumped over some speakers to join his brother Alexander, childhood friend Josef Crosby and Mike Ounallah as the band Scythian jumped right into its third performance in two days at MerleFest, the annual gathering in Wilkesboro, NC, to worship and be baptized in quintessential American music. MerleFest began 22 years ago as a celebration of traditional American folk and bluegrass music but after more than two decades, it has opened its arms to a broader slice of regional and national talent. The event, dedicated to the memory of Eddy Merle Watson and to raise money for the Wilkes Community College, was held this year from April 28 to May 1 on the college campus.

  • The Avett Brothers Farm
    Avett family home a storehouse for memories Published in Yes! Weekly July 23,2008 by Carole Perkins An antiquated yellow lab and a frisky Doberman Pincher are vociferous escorts to the front steps of the modest, wooden house secured a towering brick chimney standing sentinel where Jim and Susie Avett, parents of Scott and Seth. Their living room is an humble assortment of the lares and penants of Jim and Susie’s forty years together .Scott’s oil portraits of he and his wife adorn the wall perpendicular to bookshelf lined with Jim’s collection of vintage tomes. The 1930’s upright piano where the Avett children practiced piano lessons, anchors the room, its high shelf supporting framed photographs of weddings and grandchildren. A black woodstove squats catty-cornered, the backdrop for the “shows” that Scott, Seth and their older sister Bonnie, rehearsed in their bedrooms and performed to their parents delight in the halcyon days of their childhood. Jim Avett, a gifted singer /songwriter himself and loquacious doyen to the Avett clan, holds court in a chair in the middle of the room. "Our house is a reflection of what's important to u," Jim says. "It was always important not to stifle the children's creativity, which we may have overdone," referring to walls sketched with portraits and song lyrics like hieroglyphics on primitive caves. Jim removes Seth's hand-drawn portrait of the family from the wall, showing all five family members smiling with their arms around each other. It is inscribed in Seth's childish handwriting as "the best family in the world." "Family is the only thing that lasts over the years and it should be the first," Jim says."Strong family ties are the best thing a parent can give to a child.

  • Every Once in a While in Life, You Stumble Upon Something That Grabs You, Shakes You, Touches You Deep Inside
    Every once in a while in life, you stumble upon something that grabs you, shakes you, touches you deep inside. And even in the moment, before it can fully sink in, you realize you have found that rarest of commodities in this airbrushed world of fakery and frauds: authenticity. It was the summer of 2007 when I experienced just such an epiphany while browsing through one of those slightly anachronistic hippie shops in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury district. From the ceiling speakers above me it came, a sound at once raw and utterly beautiful. A sound I can describe only as pure, unadulterated joy. “My God, who are these guys?” I asked aloud, and the clerk held up a CD jacket. The song was “Die, Die, Die.” The album was Emotionalism. The band was The Avett Brothers. I nearly ran from the store and did not stop until I had a copy of my own. It was love at first listen. The clarion voices, the rapturous harmonies and engaging melodies; the organic sound of real instruments, acoustic instruments, pure and unpolluted by electronics. Real musicians playing real music. And those lyrics. Lord, those lyrics -- pure poetry. Raised on Dylan and schooled in Guthrie, I had begun to believe the best days of authentic American roots music was behind us. I was wrong. Turns out it was simply incubating in two brothers growing up in the piedmont of North Carolina, playing and singing music together, developing a seamless chemistry unique to brothers. Their grandfather, Clegg Avett, was a country minister, and from him they learned that souls are won not by preaching but by storytelling, by reaching inside the human heart to find universal truths.

    Norah Jones first emerged on the world stage with the February 2002 release of Come Away With Me, her self- described "moody little record" that introduced a singular new voice and grew into a global phenomenon, sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards and signaling a paradigm shift away from prevailing pop music of the time. Since then Norah has sold 45 million albums worldwide and became a 9-time Grammy-winner. Now Norah has come full circle with Day Breaks, her remarkable sixth album which finds her returning to her jazz roots while also proving her to be this era's quintessential American artist, the purveyor of an unmistakably unique sound that weaves together the threads of several bedrock styles of American music: country, folk, rock, soul and jazz. Day Breaks is a kindred spirit with Come Away With Me, though it is unquestionably the work of a mature artist who has lived life and grown immensely in her craft. Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’ roll. But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice. BEAUTIFUL – The Carole King Musical tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history.
