SOUNDS

DANCING IN THE DARK

THIEVERY CORPORATION — “The Temple of I & I” THE GOOD: Still held together by founders Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, Washington, D.C., DJ/ producer/instrumentalist collective Thievery Corporation comes back with its ninth.

THE BAD: Like past releases, “Temple” is slick and addictive enough. However, is it wholly authentic? Dub, reggae, house, acid jazz, bossa nova — of course they’re all here. But is every individual genre the real deal or a semipale imitation? That determination is purely subjective.

KID KOALA featuring EMILIANA TORRINI — “Music To Draw To: Satellite” THE GOOD: Canadian DJ/producer/multiinstrumentalist Kid Koala (born Eric San) moves in a quieter direction.

THE BAD: Those hoping for another big dose of the guy’s mad turntable skills and banging beats won’t find it here.

14 A p r i l 6 , 2 0 1 7

THE NITTY GRITTY: Don’t strain yourself thinking about it too much, and “Temple” is still quite enjoyable. From Lou Lou Ghelichkhani’s charming warbling spread over the bouncy reggae punch of “Time and Space” to Elin Melgarejo’s more seductive delivery atop the spacey dub echoes of “Lose to Find,” bits of this record are downright dreamy.

And for those craving something more aggressive or politically charged, the thudding rhythms and cries for justice carrying “Ghetto Matrix” and “Fight To Survive” (both featuring vocals by long-time collaborator Mr. Lif) will suffice.

BUY IT?: Your call.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Koala doesn’t even use his decks much, choosing instead to focus on cozy piano, warm synths, a dash of strings and only the sparsest beats. And then there’s Icelandic nymph Emeliana Torrini adding her soft melodic chirp to half the tracks; it’s the first time Koala worked extensively with any vocal collaborator. So if you were clamoring for HER next outing, “Satellite” should tide you over.

It’s a relaxing set eliciting a haunting yet pleasant atmosphere as opposed to something that demands your attention. Koala excels in these new surroundings, displaying yet another side to his (mostly) instrumental talents. Torrini’s voice also is the perfect, gentle complement to the man’s fragile underpinnings. It’s a musical match made in heaven … or deep space.

BUY IT?: Surely.

Jamie Stewart) unleashes a dissonant 13th.

THE BAD: Xiu Xiu remains a polarizing act. You either embrace the insanity or you don’t. There’s no middle ground.

THE NITTY GRITTY: I tend to feel “unclean” after listening to a Xiu Xiu set. Stewart’s quivering vocals always sound like the man wants to stab you in the eye with a fork and he’s simply mustering up the courage to do so.

The backing tracks are either extremely loud and abrasive or very quiet and outright creepy. Electronic beats mix with live percussion, cold synths mesh with grinding strings, and bursts of noise break an uneasy tranquility. This is scary stuff.

However, some of “Forget” is also downright infectious. Tracks like “Wondering” and “Jenny GoGo” are some of the most melodic and danceable bits Stewart has produced in ages. A light at the end of the tunnel? Nah, he’s probably just XIU XIU — “Forget” drawing your attention away from that fork.

THE GOOD: California indie experimental collecBUY IT?: Yep. tive Xiu Xiu (still the brainchild of singer/songwriter

CompLement eaSter meaLS with right StyLe oF wine

The trinity of the Easter table — ham, lamb and kielbasa — pairs with wine with remarkable ease.

Let’s start with the most common centerpiece: Ham.

Ham is naturally sweet, which, along with the cure in ham, lends itself to fruity or off-dry wines. I think of riesling. One of the best places in the world to produce riesling is the Finger Lakes, and one of the leading producers is Ravines Wine Cellars. ravines 2014 Finger Lakes dry riesling is an exemplar of the elegant, bone-dry style of riesling the Finger Lakes popularized. With smells of white peach with an undercurrent of apricot, the wine enters the mouth with a lime and apple deliciousness and a clean finish with a trace of minerality. $19. HHHH 1/2

Alternatives include semi-dry riesling, gewürztraminer, viogner, pinot gris, grillo and Soave.

Smoked kielbasa (is there any other kind?), meanwhile, likes spicy, bold wines that retain some acidity to cut through the sausage’s fattiness.

While lighter and fruitier than past vintages, Villa pozzi 2015 nero d’avola Sicily offers the spicy backbone to stand up to kielbasa seasoning and lithe acids that break through the fat. $11.

responsible for the style’s signature flavor.

The brew poured a nice mahogany color, again reminiscent of an Irish red. It left a hefty amount of head — about two fingers’ worth — and left lacing down the entire glass. The scent held a good deal of malt and sweetness up front as well as roasted notes. It was like the burnt sugar of caramel and hazelnuts paired with grains. The brew was full of pleasing smells.

The taste is, at first, a lot of sweet and malt.

There is hardly any hop finish at all. I’m generally a big fan of caramel malts, and this is no different. It’s not overdone, however.

There is a great grain and bread presence that rounds it out. Some hop presence shows up at the end, but it’s more grassy and earthy than bitter. Where hops generally tend to contrast, this time they blend into the malt flavors without detracting.

There isn’t anything terribly unique about this beer, but it is solid and delicious. With the prevalence of hops in American brewing, sometimes it’s nice to drink a brew that really showcases what malt can do. It goes down pretty easily and, at 5.8 percent ABV, it’s quite drinkable. That’s quite a contrast to the stronger brews I’ve drunk lately as winter gives us its parting gifts. After drinking a 22-ounce bottle, a few percentage points certainly make a difference. With Piper Down, I certainly could go for one more pint.

St. Patrick’s Day may be over, but there still are plenty of good beers out there. Sláinte!

OPENING THIS WEEK

by Richard Roeper

NOW PLAYING

“GHOST IN THE SHELL” HH 1/2

Just about every scene in “Ghost in the Shell” is a visual wonder to behold — and you’ll have ample time to soak in all that background eye candy, because the plot machinations and the action in the foreground are largely of the ho-hum retread variety.

This is the kind of movie where the villain tells the heroine, “We are the same,” and of course the heroine says they’re not alike, not at all. How many times have you heard that particular bit of repartee?

To be sure, director Rupert Sanders (“Snow White and the Huntsman”) delivers a beautiful film, from the “Blade Runner”-esque overhead shots of an unnamed Asian city of the future, to the colorfully appointed characters lurking in nearly every rain-soaked corner, to the holographic creations dominating the landscape, to some jaw-dropping POV angles, to some fantastically crazy humanrobot melding reminiscent of the HBO series “Westworld.”

In one fleeting shot, a main character is riding in the back of a car with an assistant, who is typing away on a laptop. The assistant has about 15 mechanical fingers jutting out from each wrist. She would be an AMAZING court reporter.

Based on the manga series by Masumune Shirow as well as Mamoru Oshii’s beloved 1995 Japanimation, this version of “Ghost in the Shell” generated loads of controversy before it generated a dollar at the box office, thanks to the casting of Scarlett Johansson as the title character, who of course was Japanese in the source materials.

Here’s the thing, though, and this is a SPOILER moment only if you want to know absolutely nothing about the premise of this franchise: The character of Major has a completely synthetic outer shell, from head to toe. Her brain, her soul and her “ghost” are intact inside that shell — but when we see Major, we’re seeing a robot exterior encasing the brain and the memories of a human being who might or might not be of Asian descent. Perhaps the Caucasian forces behind Major’s transformation have made her a Caucasian because they believe that’s what a super-soldier should look like. Perhaps this movie is making a social and political statement.

20 A p r i l 6 , 2 0 1 7

“Ghost in the Shell” Or maybe the backers just wanted Scarlett Johansson in the lead because she’s the most bankable female star in the world.

My favorite performances by Johansson are in smaller, quirkier films such as “Lost in Translation,” “Match Point” and “Under the Skin,” but she has become a huge action star thanks to “The Avengers” movies and “Lucy,” and she’s in full badass mode here.

In the effective and intriguing opening sequences, we learn Major’s backstory. After a terrorist attack left her parents dead and broke her body beyond repair, she’s chosen for an experimental counterterrorism program funded by the all-powerful Hanka Corp., in which her brain is lifted into a virtually un-killable cyborg body.

Cue the action sequences, which are filled with “Matrix”-like slo-mo, a seemingly endless variety of shots featuring broken glass or shimmering, splashing waves of water, and some wonderfully chilling scenes of enhanced humans losing their technologically advanced eyes or limbs.

Major and her take-no-prisoners, fiercely loyal partner, Batou (Pilou Asbaek, who co-starred

with Johansson in “Lucy”), are on the hunt for a hacker-villain named Kuze (Michael Pitt), who has been systematically eliminating the doctors and scientists who helped create Major — and has the ability to get inside Major’s mind.

Juliette Binoche, looking as if she wandered onto the set of “Ghost in the Shell” from a classy French romantic comedy and isn’t sure why she’s even there, plays Major’s supervisor and mother figure, who is torn between the quest for scientific breakthrough and her genuine affection for Major.

Peter Ferdinando as the cruel and nefarious leader of the Hanka Corp. does a serviceable job playing a forgettable villain. Takeshi Kitano, playing a security chief who dares stand up to Hanka, casually owns every scene he’s in.

“Ghost in the Shell” loses its footing in later sequences, as Major discovers the truth about her origins and acts accordingly. We see that coming a mile away.

The last few minutes of the film are the least inspired, most cliched, least creative moments of the entire journey.

Wrong direction.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES

SMALL SCREENS “Office Christmas Party” (Comedy, R, 105 m., 2016). Despite the eminently likable cast, featuring such reliable talents as Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston and T.J. Miller, this is one of those loud, forced, party-hard movies where everyone onscreen is trying their best to convince us we’re watching a zany, edgy romp — but the antics come across as juvenile and tired. Rating: HH “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (Sci-fi action, PG-13, 133 m., 2016). This stand-alone “Star Wars” story about the rebels who stole the Death Star plans is teeming with exciting action sequences, peppered with laugh-out-loud one-liners and made all the more memorable for the darker turns of the plot. It’s a bright light in the “Star Wars” canon. Rating: HHH 1/2 “20th Century Women” (Drama, R, 118 m., 2017). There’s not a single false, “actor-y” note in Annette Bening’s nuanced work as a middleaged single mom who recruits her boarder (Greta Gerwig) and young neighbor (Elle Fanning) to help

Andrew Garfield gives the most compelling performance of his career as a Portuguese missionary in the 1630s who journeys with another young Jesuit

(Adam Driver) to Japan, where Catholics are being executed. The unforgettable sequences of suffering and sorrow are filmed with such force and clarity

by Martin Scorsese that it’s difficult not to look away from the screen. Rating: HHHH “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” (Fantasy, PG-13, 123 m., 2016). There’s a whole

“A Monster Calls” (Fantasy drama, PG-13, 108 m., 2017). A lonely boy with a dying mother is visited in the dead of night by a giant, sprawling tree with a humanlike face and a booming voice that sounds very much like Liam Neeson. This adaption of a children’s book is mostly well-filmed and well-intentioned, but only occasionally involving. Rating: HH 1/2 GRADE: HHHH Excellent, HHH Good, HH Fair, H Poor.

Meet filmmakers, see variety at Dietrich movie festival “Lion” “Before the Flood”

“Laand of Mine”

I f you go What: Spring Film Festival Opening Night Gala W Where: Dietrich Theater, 60 E. Tioga St., Tunkhannock When: Friday, doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Details: Tickets are $40, and reservations are D reequired. Call 570-996-1500. For more information, visit dietrichtheater.com.

ravel through Kolkata via Google Earth to figure out a young boy’s past, take a deeper look into a black family torn apart by generational divides and racial inequality in 1950s Pittsburgh, or learn more about the stray cats of Istanbul at this year’s Dietrich Theater Spring Film Festival.

The annual event kicks off Friday at the Tunkhannock theater and runs through April 27, screening 23 films ranging from Oscar nominees to foreign films to documentaries. Tickets are $8.50.

“The biggest challenge, personally, is picking the films,” said Ronnie Harvey, the theater’s assistant general manager. “It’s hard to get it down to those core films, while getting advice from patrons coming to the films and other people that work with me.”

Harvey noticed the festivals’ appeal to not only regulars who enjoy the films chosen each time but also new people looking for something different from the superhero flicks and children’s movies often on the marquee.

“I think they like that they can see all of these really well put-together films in a package,” Harvey said. “They turn it into a kind of game for them, to see how many (films) they can see in the festival.

They do really like to be able to see quality films that other places in the area aren’t showing or, if they do, it’s only for a very short period of time.”

An opening night gala kicks off the festival with screenings of “Lion” and “20th Century Women”; a buffet of hors d’oeuvres from Twigs Cafe, Epicurean Delight, the Fireplace Restaurant and Ma Greenley’s BBQ; wine and beer provided by Nimble Hill; and dessert by Epicurean Delight. Gala tickets are $40 and must be reserved in advance.

“Completely Normal”

“20th Century Women”

“The Founder”

Among the films chosen for this edition of the festival, three — “Land of Mine,” “The Salesman” and “Toni Erdmann” — were nominated for best foreign language film at the Academy Awards. Also slated are two films with local ties: “All in Time,” directed by Wilkes-Barre native Chris Fetchko, who will host a question-and-answer session after each screening, and “Completely Normal,” co-written

by Scranton native Heather Davis, who will answer questions at the April 20 showing.

In honor of Earth Day, a question-and-answer session with Dr. Susan Kenehan follows the April 22 screening of “Before the Flood,” which examines climate change around the world and features Leonardo DiCaprio.

Other films set to screen include “Elle,” “Fences,” “The Founder,” “I, Claude Monet,” “I Am Not Your Negro,” “Jackie,” “Julieta,” “Kedi: The Cats of Istanbul,” “Manchester by the Sea,” “Neruda,” “Nocturnal Animals,” “Paterson,” “Things To Come,” “A United Kingdom” and “Year by the Sea.” A post-festival film discussion takes place Friday, April 28, at 1 p.m., and gives people a chance to discuss the films with other enthusiasts. Harvey will facilitate the discussion.

“My favorite part is seeing the people who really enjoy what they are seeing and talking about it,” he said. “I love seeing people after a showing, seeing strangers who have become friends and having discussions. It just shows that movies are the great American art form. You can change a mind, you can impact someone’s life in the positive, just from a movie.”

and

Ivan Vargas didn’t run away with the circus — he grew up in it.

The sixth-generation circus performer said that out of his 26 years of life, he spent less than three years outside Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.

But at the end of May, Vargas’ streak ends when Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey disassembles the Big Top permanently. Locals will have a chance to say goodbye when Ringling’s worldrenowned Circus XTREME tumbles into Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza from April 6 to 9 for its final round of performances.

Part of the circus’ Clown Alley, Vargas never thought Ringling Bros. would close entirely but rather that it would adapt and evolve into a different type of circus. But even he noticed the decline in attendance in recent years, far from the days when the circus would to turn away people from sold-out shows.

“It’s been my home,” Vargas said. “I want people to come experience this, even if it’s for a few

hours. Coming to the circus is magical. It’s been around for 146 years, and I’m so happy to be a part of that; I want to share that with everyone. There are only a couple months left, and I want everyone to see this great institution before there’s no more.

It’s like inviting people into my home one last time.”

Growing up in the circus didn’t seem strange for Vargas, but he knew it was something special.

“I’d go to school and walk past 12 elephants, and then get out of school and go practice,” Vargas said. “We’d play (to see) who can do the highest back flip or jump off the highest apparatus.

My monkey bars were the trapeze.”

Vargas carries on family tradition as the sixth generation of circus performers on his father’s side and fifth generation on his mother’s. His family formerly performed with the Flying Vargas trapeze troupe, which toured with Ringling Bros. When the troupe disbanded, Vargas’ parents stayed with the massive show — his father working with the animals and his mother helping with costumes.

“Obviously I wanted to follow in my family’s

footsteps because it’s such a fun lifestyle,” Vargas said. “It’s so different than what I would consider somebody else’s norm. ... My passion was always to perform, ever since I was 3, 4 years old, dancing to Michael Jackson music videos for my family. I always wanted to entertain. I love to entertain.”

Families attending the last performances of “The Greatest Show on Earth” can expect to see acrobats fly high in the air, sit at the edge of their seats to view the exotic animals and laugh along with Vargas and the rest of Clown Alley.

Although the circus maintains the same structure for each performance, being a clown allows flexibility depending on audience interaction. Vargas explained that the clowns are both audience members and performers because of the way they react to the other circus performers.

“It is the last chance to see Ringling Bros., and it’s still a great show,” he said. “Even though it has changed from when parents or grandparents came to the show, we still have a ringmaster, animals and acrobats. There isn’t anything like Ringling. It’s

touR

to

aRena

such a unique experience that you don’t want to miss out on it.”

Between living on the circus train and traveling across the country to meeting new people each time performers join the show, the change in lifestyle coming later this spring likely will be a hard adjustment for Vargas at first. But no matter what, the performer said, he wants to continue to entertain people in some way after Ringling closes.

“I’ll definitely miss being a part of Clown Alley — even if somewhere else I’m a clown,” he said.

“Waking up early in the morning and then going to the arena or the venue to put on your makeup — there’s 12 friends there. We’re all from different backgrounds, have different life lessons, but we’re all there because we all love being clowns. I’ll miss hanging out with those silly people. We’ll make each other laugh, and we’ll get into character as we’re putting on our costumes. We start our circus day way before the first audience member enters the arena.”

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Zhach Kelsch is a professional drummer and drumming instructor who teaches at Northeast Music Center, Dickson City. He has performed and recorded with regional bands such as Fighting Zero and OurAfter and recently recorded with Aaron Fink. Kelsch plays with two bands from the Lehigh Valley area, Vicious and Doubting Thomas, and with Philadelphia-based band Modern Luxe. He is a Carbondale native and graduated from Carbondale Junior-Senior High School and Penn State University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in business. He has lived in Philadelphia for the past five years and recently relocated to Lake Harmony.

Meet Zhach Kelsch …

When did you first realize that you wanted to play drums?

I started when I was 6. My dad was a drummer, and he quit because he had me. (Laughs) And so he put the drums away. I was helping my grandmother clean the attic when I was 6 years old, and I found his road cases with his drums in them. They were these really cool 1976 drums. They’re called Vistalite, so they’re acrylic and you can see through them. And they were a bicentennial edition. I’ve since found out that they’re worth a lot of money, which is funny, because he bought them for like $500 and now they’re worth more than $10,000.

They’re red, white and blue. ... I’m 6 years old, and they look like jellybeans. (Laughs) I begged him to set them up, and though he was kind of rusty, he could still play, and I was just blown away just watching. Seeing each hand do something different, and the feet do different things, but it all comes together … I was like, “This is the only thing I want to do.”

Zhach Kelsch Guilty pleasure?

I like a drink, socially. I was at a wedding last weekend, and I thought, “Alright. I’m not working.

Is there anyone, or anything, in your life that has helped define you as a person?

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL with ALAN K. STOUT is a regular feature in electric city, profiling people from all walks of life throughout NEPA. Reach Alan at alankstout@comcast.net.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be interested in first things. Cultivate your attraction to beginnings. Align yourself with uprisings and breakthroughs. Find out what’s about to hatch and lend your support. Give your generous attention to potent innocence and novel sources of light. Marvel at people rediscovering the sparks that animated them when they first came into their power. Fantasize about being a curious seeker devoted to reinventing yourself over and over again. Gravitate toward influences that draw their vitality directly from primal wellsprings. Be excited about first things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you weary of lugging around decayed guilt and regret? Is it increasingly difficult to keep forbidden feelings concealed? Have your friends been wondering about the whip marks from your selfflagellation sessions? Do you ache for redemption? If you answered yes to any of those questions, listen up.

The empathetic and earthy saints of the Confession Catharsis Corps are ready to receive your blubbering disclosures. They are clairvoyant, they’re non-judgmental, and best of all, they’re free. Within seconds after you telepathically communicate with our earthy saints, they will psychically beam you 11 minutes of unconditional love, no strings attached.

Do it! You’ll be amazed at how much lighter and smarter you feel. Transmit your sad stories to the Confession Catharsis Corps NOW! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Now is an excellent time to FREE YOUR MEMORIES. What comes to mind when I suggest that? Here are my thoughts on the subject. To FREE YOUR MEMORIES, you could change the way you talk and feel about your past. Re-examine your assumptions about your old stories and dream up fresh interpretations to explain how and why they happened. Here’s another way to FREE YOUR MEMORIES: If you’re holding on to an insult someone hurled at you once upon a

time, let it go. In fact, declare a general amnesty for everyone who ever did you wrong. By the way, the coming weeks also will be a favorable phase to FREE YOURSELF OF MEMORIES that hold you back. Are there any tales you tell yourself about the past that undermine your dreams about the future?

Stop telling yourself those tales.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): How big is your vocabulary? Twenty thousand words? Thirty thousand?

Whatever size it is, the coming weeks will be prime time to expand it. Life will conspire to enhance your creative use of language to deepen your enjoyment of the verbal flow, to help you become more articulate in rendering the mysterious feelings and complex thoughts that rumble around inside you.

If you pay attention to the signals coming from your unconscious mind, you will be shown how to speak and write more effectively. You may not turn into a silver-tongued persuader, but you could become a more eloquent spokesperson for your own interests.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope that by mid-May you will be qualified to teach a workshop called “Sweet Secrets of Tender Intimacy” or “Dirty Secrets of Raw Intimacy” or maybe even “Sweet and Dirty Secrets of Raw and Tender Intimacy.” In other words, I suspect you will add substantially to your understanding of the art of togetherness. Along the way, you also may have experiences that would enable you to write an essay titled “How To Act Like You Have Nothing To Lose When You Have Everything To Gain.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you have a dream of eating soup with a fork, it might mean that in your waking life you’re using the wrong approach to getting nourished.

If you have a dream of entering through an exit, it might mean that in your waking life you’re trying to start at the end rather than the beginning. And if you dream of singing nursery rhymes at a karaoke bar with unlikable people from high school, it might mean that in your waking life you should seek more fulfilling ways to express your wild side and your creative energies. (P.S. You’ll be wise to do these things even if you don’t have the dreams I described.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): We all need more breaks from the routine — more holidays, more vacations, more days off from work. We should all play and dance and sing more and guiltlessly practice the arts of leisure and relaxation and celebrate freedom in regular boisterous rituals. And I’m nominating you to show us the way in the coming weeks. Be a cheerleader who exemplifies how it’s done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’re a Be a ringleader who springs Quixotic lover, you’re more in love with love itself all of us inmates out of our mental prisons. Be the than with any person.

lent time to have a beginner’s mind about what kind of love you really need and want to cultivate in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your new vocabulary word is “adytum.”

It refers to the most sacred place within a sacred place — the inner shrine at the heart of a sublime sanctuary.

Is there such a spot in your world? A location that embodies all you hold precious about your journey on planet Earth? It might be in a church or temple or synagogue or mosque, or it could be a magic zone in nature or a corner of your bedroom. Here you feel an intimate connection with the divine, or a sense of awe and reverence for the privilege of being alive. If you don’t have a personal adytum, find or create one. You need the refreshment that comes from dwelling in the midst of the numinous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You could defy gravity a little but not a lot. You can’t move a mountain, but you may be able to budge a hill. Luck won’t miraculously enable you to win a contest, but it might help you seize a hard-earned perk or privilege. A bit of voraciousness may be good for your soul, but a big blast of greed would be bad for both your soul and your ego.

Being savvy and feisty will energize your collaborators and attract new allies; being a smart-ass show-off would alienate and repel people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Here are activities that will be especially favorable for you to initiate in the near future: 1. Pay someone to perform a service for you that will ease your suffering. 2.

Question one of your fixed opinions if that will lead to you receiving a fun invitation you wouldn’t get otherwise. 3. Dole out sincere praise or practical help to a person who could help you overcome one of your limitations. 4.

Get clear about how one of your collaborations would need to change in order to serve both of you better. Then tell your collaborator about the proposed improvement with light-hearted compassion.

he Long King L ong on ng li llive ive iv ve th tthe he K ing in ng Pittston native brings ‘Ultimate Elvis Tribute Act’ to Kirby Center

Elvis may have left the building, but Pittston resident Shawn Klush does a stand-up job in his stead.

Klush, aka the “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist,” brings his world-renowned Elvis act to F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, April 8, at 8 p.m.

The tribute artist began listening to a wide variety of music from a young age, absorbing as much of his dad’s music as he could. He listened to songs other children his age thought wasn’t “cool enough,” he said.

“That’s how it all started,” Klush said. “I just started working with little bands here and there, ended up doing a tryout in Atlantic City for ‘Legends in Concert,’ and once that happened, forget it.

I left on a Wednesday, arrived in Myrtle Beach on a Friday and didn’t come home for 10 years. Now here I am making a living being somebody else.”

Klush not only claims to be as close to the King as it gets but also has the awards to prove it. When he won the “Worldwide Elvis Competition” in Montreal, he caught the attention of the “Legends in Concert” show out of Las Vegas and went on to star as Elvis in the Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas and Atlantic City show rooms.

On Elvis’ 70th birthday, Klush became the grand champion of the “World Elvis Tribute Artist Competition” and later was named the “World’s Greatest Elvis” by 6.5 million viewers of the BBC One television show. And on the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ death, Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, Tennessee, named Klush the first “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist”.

Another mind-blowing moment for the smalltown man came when he was offered the role of Elvis on HBO’s “Vinyl,” across Bobby Cannavale.

“I got to admit it, that came with a lot of ease,” Klush said of acting. “When they put (on) all of the bells and whistles, then it makes sense. It’s the same in the studio as in acting. You have to create

an emotion without all of the things that they put in while editing.”

Klush encouraged people to give his WilkesBarre show a chance. He makes sure to bring back the best of Elvis without throwing in the campy stereotypes of the peanut butter and banana sandwiches or the King’s catch phrase, “Thank you very much.”

“It’s always been said that a performer can never return to their hometown and make it and sell tickets,” Klush said. “I’ve come home and sold out to capacity the Kirby Center and the casino twice, so ... yeah, it’s a rush. You don’t think that many people care. But they show up, and they show up big.”

And to top it off, Klush tours with Elvis’ original background singers, the Sweet Inspirations.

Among them is Estelle Brown, who performed 1,000 shows with Elvis and never missed a show between 1969 and 1977.

“Every musician is playing what you hear,” Klush said. “The music is all real; the singers are all real. It’s not garbage. It’s not fake. We are the truth of who Elvis was.”

For Klush, keeping the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s memory alive and true remains the most important part of his job.

“Just bringing the guy back, remembering and letting people know that he was the start of this stuff,” he said. “None of this other bologna nonsense. When you look at the beginning of rock ‘n’ roll, you’ll see a few people, but (Elvis) will be right on top.”

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).
