The Tedeschi Trucks Band visits the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. Tedeschi Trucks Band is an 11-member collective. Formed in 2010 by husband-and-wife Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, the outfit features two harmony singers, a three-piece horn section, keyboards, bass and a pair of drummers. Tedeschi Trucks Band has taken its roots-rich musical mix to audiences across the globe and become a proven powerhouse on stage. Driven by Trucks’ signature slide-guitar sound and Tedeschi’s honey-to-husk voice, the group consistently delivers an electrifying blend of blues, soul, jazz and rock drawing from an ever-evolving song list. They have headlined the venerable Newport Jazz Festival, co-headlined tours with B.B. King and The Black Crowes and have played to packed houses in the world’s most celebrated venues, from Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Beacon Theatre to the Hollywood Bowl and Royal Albert Hall. The band’s debut release, Revelator, earned both a Grammy and Blues Music Award. The group is currently touring in support of its second studio effort, Made Up Mind. Tickets can be purchased at the Kirby Center box office, online at kirbycenter.org or by phone at (570) 826-1100. — tg

Family Fun Fair at the Gathering Place on the first floor of the borough building, 304 S. State St., kicks off the festivities on Friday, Feb. 12, at 5 p.m. Later that evening, a parade will begin at 7:30 p.m., featuring live ice carvings, costumed fairy-tale characters, juggling, animals and Cinderella’s horse-drawn carriage.

Since the project’s inception, K.Flay has performed opening sets for the Snoop Dogg, Passion Pit, Icona Pop, Theophilus London and 3OH!3.

Complimentary food and drinks, including burgundy escargot, pate crostini, smoked salmon and tuna tartare will be served by nationally-renowned chef Gwen Le Pape. Cocktail attire is requested. “After two years of hard work I’m finally ready to unleash Bliss upon the public,” Halsey said. “Writing is a very lonely and solitary task; a book release party is one of the few times authors actually get to be social.” Halsey is the author of books, poems and essays. Bliss is his first novel. Bliss is available for purchase on all major online merchants and brandonhalsey.com. — tg

Lee Brice, one of country music’s newest superstars, visits the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. The show is sold out. Brice began his career as a songwriter, penning tunes for heavy hitters like Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean and more, but it was when he began performing his own work that the former Clemson University lineman found country music stardom. His debut record, 2012’s Hard to Love, was certified gold, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard country charts and selling nearly a half-million copies. Brice is currently touring in support of his latest album, I Don’t Dance, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The album’s title track peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, and Brice’s current single, “Drinking Class,” is climbing right behind it. Brice spent much of the past year playing major arenas as support for fellow country stars Luke Bryan and Brad Paisley. — tg

And anybody really can participate with five judging positions to be filled and three wild card slots open to anyone who wants to put their name in the hat. (Yes, an actual hat). One name that might come out of the magic story hat is “Stephen Gan.” Gan, a self-proclaimed “local yokel” from Honesdale, is a medical student at The Commonwealth Medical College who will take his maiden “slammage” at Ale Mary’s. “I’ve always been into storytelling,” said Gan. “The idea of communicating something that’s happened in the past to someone else and making them feel things, making them experience what you’ve experienced, it’s just something that’s been captivating me for years.” If you’re thinking about trying on your raconteur’s cap, Wilding has some advice: “Practice definitely helps, especially because this is a timed event and you actually can lose points if you run too far over your limit,” she said. “When you’re nervous you tend to talk faster, but you also tend to babble a little bit, so sometimes that means you’ll go over. It really does help to do a couple run-throughs before you actually just get up there and spit it out.” So what has Wilding prepared? “Well, I can’t tell too-too much, but what I can say is it is juicy enough that I told my mom not to go to the StorySlam, because I don’t want to tell it in front of her and it does involve a celebrity who is an 80s music icon,” she said with a giggle. Perhaps the most intimidating factor for competitors is the First Person Arts in Philadelphia GrandSlam champion, Clark, who humbly said he still gets nervous before each slam. “It’s a rare thing to win,” he said. “It doesn’t happen that often. For every six or seven that I’m in, I might win one. It depends on the night and the judges, but it’s just fun to put something together. I like the competiGrand Slam champion; Abington Suburban editor Stephanie Longo; comedienne and author Jeannine tion aspect of it, but I also like listening to other Luby; former stand-up comedian John Walton; and people’s stories.” Clark has some wise words for wild card Scranton Times-Tribune reporter Patrice Wilding, wanna-be’s: “Story slam audiences are very supa returning slammer.

(Champaign’s The News-Gazette) • John Balmer, 50, was arrested at a Kmart store in Hudson, Fla., while wearing a T-shirt that read, “Who needs drugs?” Below that, it said, “No, seriously, I have drugs.” When a sheriff’s deputy entered the store, Balmer tried to hand a “bag of green leafy substance” to the person behind him, officers reported, but the person wouldn’t take the bag, which deputies retrieved and said contained marijuana and methamphetamine.

The board of directors agreed and notified its 15,000 station members, anticipating they would welcome the station’s continuing its ties with Kelly, an employee of 40 years. Instead, 6,300 members dropped out. About 2,300 of them specifically cited excessive executive compensation as the reason. The organization’s 22 board members cut ties with Kelly by donating $291,878 of their own money to buy out his contract. (Scranton’s The TimesTribune)

OPENING THIS WEEK
Fifty Shades of Grey Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dorman In this R-rated adaptation of the erotic romance novel by E.L. James, literature student Anastasia Steele’s (Johnson) life changes forever when she meets handsome, yet tormented, billionaire Christian Grey (Dorman). The Plus: The buzz. Though initially selfpublished and released as an e-book, this steamy page-turner — the first in a trilogy — got picked up by Vintage Books in 2012. Despite generating mostly negative reviews from critics for its prose and style (or lack thereof), the combined record-breaking series has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. Working from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel (Saving Mr. Banks), Sam TaylorJohnson (Nowhere Boy) directs a cast that includes Johnson (21 Jump Street), Dorman (BBC’s The Fall), Luke Grimes (American Sniper), Jennifer Ehle (RoboCop), Max Martini (Captain Phillips) and Marcia Gay Harden (Magic in the Moonlight). The Minus: The reviews. Let’s be honest. Just as with the book, Fifty Shades of Grey isn’t approaching cinemas giving a hang about critical reception. Someway somehow, even despite poor reviews, some sexy thrillers end up at the top of the box office. For proof, just look to 1992’s Basic Instinct, 1999’s Cruel Intentions, 2009’s Obsessed and 2014’s No Good Deed. Given that it’s bowing on Valentine’s Day, this slickly marketed Cupid should score a direct hit on its target and continue the record-setting box office for 2015. Kingsman: The Secret Service Colin Firth, Taron Egerton In this PG-13-rated adaptation of the comic book created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, a spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising street kid (Egerton) into the agency’s ultracompetitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius (Samuel L. Jackson). The Plus: The players. Director Matthew Vaughn has amassed a critically approved CV (Layer Cake, Stardust), mostly for his comic book flicks (X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass). Here, he directs a cast including Firth (The King’s Speech), Jackson (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Michael Caine (Interstellar), Mark Strong (The Imitation Game), Mark Hamill (the forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VI — The Force Awakens) and newcomer Edgerton (Testament of Youth). The Minus: The odds. Not all comic book flicks — especially those NOT involving super powers or a cape (RED 2, R.I.P.D.) — make it out of the theater alive. Just look to Kick-Ass 2, which Vaughn produced.

Jupiter Ascending Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis H1/2 — Stupider Upending Descending the sci-fi genre into a near-laughingstock, the Wachwoski siblings’ appalling latest flight of fantasy might boast some eye-popping visuals but only at the cost of sitting through some mind-numbing storytelling. In this PG-13-rated sci-fi fantasy set in a bright and colorful future, a young destitute caretaker (Kunis) gets targeted by a ruthless son (Eddie Redmayne) of a powerful family that live on a planet in need of a new heir, so she travels with a genetically engineered warrior (Tatum) to the planet in order to stop this evil tyrant. You would think that this talented team, the visionary twosome that brought audiences the groundbreaking actioner The Matrix (and some less revolutionary sequels), would’ve learned of the dangers of candy-colored excess from a style-over-substance pop culture car wreck called Speed Racer. At least THAT cinematic pitfall tried to be something — namely, a live action cartoon. The jury’s still out on what Jupiter Ascending tries to emulate. Much in the same way that the 1980 reimagining of classic serial Flash Gordon, what with its ham-fisted hunk acting and camp-tastic trappings, became a cult hit for all the wrong reasons, this miscalculated raspberry proves operatically over-the-top and unintentionally laughable. Also, much in the way that David Lynch’s well intentioned 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune, what with its muddled and hollow narrative, became a critical punching bag, this empty excursion to oblivion instantly earns your ire. Nevermind waiting for a Rifftrax, even the driest of moviegoers can make their own jokes this just fine from the get-go. So far as world-building (something about the planets in our solar system being part of an infinite dynasty and Mila Kunis being the reincarnation of this reign’s murdered queen) andy and Lana Wachowski more or less speed you along through their fantastical phooey — we’re not alone in the universe, here’s an abbreviated version of what’s what, yadda yadda yadda, so on and so forth. It’s almost as if they cave into the fact that we’ve seen similar overall stories before (ignorant humanoid bound for galactic greatness—hello, Star Wars!) and just expect us to drink the watered-down Kool-Aid and get with the program early … but this program involves a cat-like bodyguard who doesn’t sing Andrew Lloyd Webber songs and the guy who plays Stephen Hawking chewing the CGI-generated scenery while sounding like Dumbledore-era Richard Harris. Sure, a lot of the tech and SFX hold the potential to fascinate but you just can’t get over the fact that Channing Tatum, one of the biggest stars in the world right now, signed off on this love-turned-insult letter to Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.

American Sniper Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller HHHH — American Bustle Taking aim at realizing it’s real-life subject to a harrowingly true degree, Clint Eastwood’s straight-shooting bio-pic presents powerful storytelling and hero worship in equal measure thanks to a compelling central figure. In this R-rated true story, the legendary director recounts Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s (Cooper) military career, which includes more than 150 confirmed kills. Sure, the film unapologetically waves a patriotic flag (in the hands of a more left-leaning director, American Sniper might have emerged as a tsk tsk cautionary tale), but Jason Hall’s script deftly puts forth the book’s War is Hell moments. Yes, there’s a sobering emotional toll and high body count, but the titular character sometimes comes across as selfish for signing up for more tours of duty while his family waits for him on the homefront. Ultimately, however, Eastwood’s film romanticizes nationalism as much as Kyle, which might divide some viewers. Whether or not you agree with this political bent, the film takes a stand rather than beat around an objective bush, which drives home the true story all the more. This happened; Kyle was a proud soldier; film reflects life.
SMALL SCREENS
A Most Violent Year Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain HHHH — My Favorite Year A carefully plodded thinking man’s morality tale, J.C. Chandor’s awe-striking and atmospheric latest easily ranks as one of the decade’s best crime stories. In this R-rated crime-thriller set in New York City during 1981, an ambitious immigrant (Isaac) fights to protect his business and family (Chastain, et al) during the most dangerous year in the city’s history. Many films have charted the less-than-successful attempt of social climbing criminals to go clean (The Long Good Friday, The Godfather Part III, Carlito’s Way). This film does the same with a scrupulous business unsuccessfully trying to STAY clean. It’s a sad and cynical parable reflecting American politics and commerce — not just today but for — as the story knowingly relays — through the ages. Through generous amounts of dialogue, the film plays out like a high-stakes white-knuckle chess match. You’d think that these sequences would feel too talky, but they only build the tension and suspense of this searing drama, which works excellently as both a character study and proto-gangster story. Like every word in a James Joyce novel, the lines of this film — just like the photography and shots — are meticulously chosen and controlled expressions of these powerfully drawn characters. Without the brilliant lead performance, itself meticulous and controlled, A Most Violent Year wouldn’t amount to such an auteurial tour-de-force. If Inside Llweyn Davis didn’t already compound this fact: Isaac is one of the best actors working today. With Chastain, who builds upon an already ridiculously great CV (The Help, Tree of Life, Zero Dark Thirty, Interstellar), he brings immense heft to a thought-provoking, weighty story and — yes — Violent story. What’s amazing is that this film bowed in 2014 and amassed zero Academy Award nominations. Someone should’ve yelled miss-deal.
Being There (1979) Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine HHHHH — There and Back Again To mark this reviewer’s 1000th movie review, Small Screens revisits a classic on DVD and Bluray. In this PG-rated dramedy, a simple, sheltered gardener (Sellers) becomes an unlikely trusted adviser to a powerful businessman and an insider in Washington politics. Subtle and brilliant, Hal Ashby’s prescient comedy may’ve bowed during the Me Generation, but it packs more of an ironic punch and makes even more sense today. A film like Being There never happens by accident. The narrative and presentation prove so mannered that you begin to wonder if the writer-director himself shouldn’t be afforded the same godly status that sometimes gets ascribed to the main character. Even his name, Chance, holds a great deal of wink wink knowingness, as an accelerated and cynical culture accidentally turns this seemingly simplistic man into a pariah …or messiah. The film’s commentary on media addiction and political spin doctoring perhaps grabs latecomers the most, however, pre-dating our current society in which we largely communicate and gather information and opinions through multiple screens. Even though it arrived in cinemas at the end of the ’70s, the film earns a top spot during both the Easy Riders-Raging Bull generation AND still today. Without a brave and letter perfect lead performance, however, Being There wouldn’t work on any of these meta-levels. Having an actor known mostly for absurdist comedy take on this one-note yet endlessly complex figure is brash enough. Pulling through with the apathetic mimicry needed to sell through this rightplace/right time stooge is another thing altogether. Peter Sellers was called many things but genius is the one that’s wholly agreed upon. His brash director, Hal Ashby, likewise earns this status — if not just for this, then for his entire CV (Harold and Maude, Shampoo, The Last Detail, Coming Home). Finding inquisitive angles to spy these goings-on while letting a lot of the action play out in long takes (with cinematographer Caleb Deschanel brilliantly helping to set the mood and tone), you get caught up in the hypnotic spin as much as the supporting characters. A good deal of credit also goes to screenwriter Jerzy Kozinski, working from his own novel.

Up Close & personal Jive Jerky and The Jive Tim O’Grady was born in Milwaukee and says that is his “favorite place on the face of the Earth,” but we won’t hold that against him. He grew up in Pennsylvania and describes the land of his birth as “a whole city that revolves around drinking and baseball and football and cheese and sausage.” (We can relate). After a life on the road as a musician, O’Grady now lives in Marshall’s Creek with his wife and three dogs. O’Grady started a beef jerky business in Moscow in June 2013 called Jive Jerky, but it has grow into The Jive, a gastropub/café/beer and wine bar. Meet Tim O’Grady … So, you have a beef jerky business that grew into a gastropub? I bought the old library in Moscow and the jerky shop was on the next block over. The gastropub and all that stuff is in the front half of the building and the back half is going to be production for the jerky. When did the gastropub become a thing? We opened on Black Friday. Were you tired of doing just jerky? No, we came here with the jerky business … and it did really, really well for us. I went to some town meetings and they had a business development committee. They had a wish-list of businesses that people wanted in town and one of them was a high-end coffee shop and also a place that does craft beer and local wine. I thought, “Well, hell, I can do those.” People already said they wanted it here and also it’s something I happen to really enjoy myself. There are a few different “nights” posted on your Facebook page like “trivia night” and “bring your own vinyl night.” Yes, we do an open mic night … trivia went really well for us. It was a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be. And then we do a “bring your own vinyl” night and we have people bring their records and we’ll play whatever they want. And you have a coffee bar, wine bar … are you using any special local beers or coffee? For our coffee, we use Electric City Roasting.

They have all the really great stuff that they source from all over the world. With beer, right now, I think we’re at 40 or 45 craft beers. We have some local: 3 Guys and a Beer’d from Carbondale, Nimble Hill from Mehoopany … some that are from down by Philly like Victory and Neshaminy Creek. We’re trying to have as much different local things as we can and if it’s not a local thing, just trying to find really great stuff to bring in.

PHOTOS BY TOM BONOMO (Laughing) I kind of wish that I would have done it, because I would have made a bunch of money, but I was thinking, “Doesn’t that sound awful?” (Laughing harder) How did you meet your wife? I met her at a party when I was probably 23 or 24 and she hated me. (Laughing) I had another girlfriend at the time and she was with her boyfriend at the time and I think she travelled a lot for work. Then one year, when I was on Warped Tour, she had gotten in touch with me, because she noticed that for work she was going to all the same cities for a week stretch. I started talking to her through that and then she decided not to hate me. (Laughing) How many dogs do you have? We have three right now. We’ve always had large-breed dogs. We had three old dogs and they all died within six months of each other. Before, we had two mastiffs and a yellow lab and we also had a Leonberger — a mix between a St. Bernard and a Newfoundland. We had about 700 lbs of dog at home. Now, we still have the Leonberger — the
really, really big guy. He’s probably about 200 lbs. He is just an awesome dog. His name is Apollo. And we have a Beagle mix that we actually found outside the jerky shop. He was running down the double yellow line on Main Street in Moscow and we lured him in with jerky. We couldn’t find the owner for about a week. We brought him home … by the end of the first day, he was already my best friend. When we found the owner, they ended up letting us keep him. They loved him too, but they lived on a farm and he would run away a lot. They were afraid someone was going to shoot him, thinking he was a fox. So, they let us keep him. He’s such a good dog. And last year in December, I surprised my wife with a pitbull puppy after our last mastiff died and she fell in love. That was one of the top, probably, five experiences of my life: seeing how happy it made her. Anything else you think people should know? That’s the hardest question! Just, how thankful I am that people have been so receptive to us in the area and our business. — kimberly m. aquilina

Psycho sudoku “Greater-than sudoku”
For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not giving you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1 – 9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column, and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1 – 9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1s and 9s in each box first, then move on to the 2s and 8s and so on).

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Anais Nin wrote the following passage in her novel A Spy in the House of Love: “As other girls prayed for handsomeness in a lover, or for wealth, or for power, or for poetry, she had prayed fervently: let him be kind.” I recommend that approach for you right now, Capricorn. A quest for tender, compassionate attention doesn’t always have to be at the top of your list of needs, but I think it should be for now. You will derive a surprisingly potent alchemical boost from basking in kindness. It will catalyze a breakthrough that can’t be unleashed in any other way. Ask for it! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): How many desires do you have? Take a rough inventory. Identify the experiences you continually seek in your quest to feel relief and pleasure and salvation and love and a sense of meaning. You can also include fantasies that go unfulfilled and dreams that may or may not come true in the future. As you survey this lively array, don’t censor yourself or feel any guilt. Simply give yourself to a sumptuous meditation on all the longings that fuel your journey. This is your prescription for the coming week. In ways you may not yet be able to imagine, it is the medicine you need most. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The German word Nachkussen refers to the kind of kiss that compensates for all the kissing that has not been happening, all the kissing that has been omitted or lost. If it has been too long since you’ve kissed anyone, you need Nachkussen. If your lover hasn’t kissed you lately with the focused verve you long for, you need Nachkussen. If you yourself have been neglecting to employ your full artistry and passion as you bestow your kisses, you need Nachkussen. From what I can tell, Pisces, this Valentine season is a full-on Nachkussen holiday for you. Now please go get what you haven’t been getting.
