MoBOT brings back Lantern Festival For The Edge The Missouri Botanical Garden will play host to an international exhibition of 22 lighted works of art from Zigong, China when it debuts “Lantern Festival: Magic Reimagined” in 2015. Following critical acclaim and rave reviews from visitors during the 2012 Festival, the Garden has commissioned new sets crafted from silk and steel to once again offer visitors from around the world the opportunity to see an event rarely staged outside of Asia. Lantern Festival will again be an outdoor, evening display running May 23 to August 23, 2015. “We were overwhelmed with the reaction our 2012 Lantern Festival received and for the last two years have heard from so many people asking if another festival would ever be held,” said Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, president of the Missouri Botanical Garden. “At the same time, we have continued our botanical research in China, and feel it is fitting to highlight the growing number of botanical gardens in that country as we celebrate the continued contributions the Missouri Botanical Garden makes in science on a global scale.” Lantern festivals are a central part of Chinese culture, dating back thousands of years. Today, lantern festivals traditionally mark the Chinese New Year, when complex and ornate lanterns fill cities. The 22 sets that will be seen during Lantern Festival 2015 will be constructed using traditional materials including silk, wire and porcelain. Each set will include interpretation detailing the design’s tradition, symbolism and meaning. Among the planned sets is “Soaring Dragon Horse,” located in the Garden’s Central Axis, depicting a wellknown symbol in Chinese culture, the dragon horse. The dragon horse is considered a spirit of Heaven and Earth and thought to bring good fortune. “Porcelain Stupas Pagoda” will be constructed with more than 300,000 porcelain pieces including plates, bowls, spoons, teacups, ladles and wine cups. It serves as a replica of the Stupas Pagoda built in the Qing Dynasty in the
Manfeilong Village of the Yunnan Province. In keeping with the Garden’s commitment to sustainability, “Giant Dandelion & Panda” will be constructed using recycled water bottles. Visitors will be able to take pictures with the larger-than-life flowers creating a cherished photo opportunity. In addition to using recycled materials in several sets, the Garden plans to conduct a sale following the conclusion of the festival for St. Louisans to take home their own unique piece of Garden history. Ameren Missouri Pure Power will donate Missouri wind energy credits to offset the electricity required to power the exhibit. Lantern Festival tickets are on sale now. Visitors are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance to ensure they have the opportunity to see the exhibit on their preferred night. There is no additional charge to view the Lanterns during daytime hours, but special evening pricing begins at 6 p.m. on the nights the exhibit is open. Lanterns will not be lit during Whitaker Music Festival evenings. The Missouri Botanical Garden is located at 4344 Shaw Blvd. in south St. Louis, accessible from Interstate 44 at the Vandeventer exit and from Interstate 64 at the Kingshighway North and South exit. Free parking is available on site and two blocks west at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer. For general information, visit www.mobot.org or call (314) 577‑5100 (toll-free, 1‑800‑642‑8842). Follow the Garden on Facebook and Twitter at www.facebook. com/missouribotanicalgarden and http://twitter.com/ mobotgarden. More than 45,000 households in the St. Louis region hold memberships to the Missouri Botanical Garden. Memberships begin at $65 ($60 for seniors) and offer 12 months of free general admission for two adults and all children ages 12 and under, plus exclusive invitations and discounts. Members help support the Garden’s operations and world-changing work in plant science and conservation. Learn more at www.mobot.org/membership.

Lambert gets loan from Laumeier Two bronze sculptures on display at airport For The Edge Lambert-St. Louis International Airport has acquired and installed two prominent bronze sculpture works on loan from the Laumeier Sculpture Park in St. Louis County. The loaned works are from Charles Arnoldi and Isaac Witkin. They are now on display in the ticketing lobby of Terminal 1 in new seating areas with wide window views of Lambert’s airfield. The exhibition, on loan for five years, is part of the Lambert Art & Culture Program. “ We ’ re v e r y p l e a s e d t o b e working with Lambert-St. Louis International Airport on a long-term loan program that puts art into the spaces at Lambert—as the original designers intended—and brings fresh perspective to Laumeier ’s rich legacy Collection,” said Marilu Knode, Executive Director at Laumeier Sculpture Park. “Both partners are dedicated to creating a vibrant community enlivened by great architecture and art—past and present—that shows the cultural riches of the St. Louis community.” Charles Arnoldi’s Eclipse, 1990, is a quirky, double-oval-shaped bronze sculpture with “Giacomettiesque” elongation. Each hollowedout, walnut shape employs the hand of the artist, as frantic finger trails are embedded into the surface. Quasi-figurative in form and scale, Eclipse refers in both concept and composition to Arnoldi’s painting practice, literally documenting the trace of his hand. Charles Arnoldi was born in 1946 in Dayton,
Ohio. He has had one-person and group exhibitions at institutions including the Seattle Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Busan Metropolitan Art Museum, Korea. Arnoldi’s works are in collections at the Art Institute of Chicago; the Denver Art Museum; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington; and the Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain. Eclipse is part of the Laumeier Sculpture Park Collection as a gift of the John McEnroe Gallery. Isaac Witkin’s Hawthorne Tree, 1987, is another cast bronze piece with a blend of abstraction and figuration. Reminiscent of a gnarled and thorny tree found in Witkin’s native South Africa, this work is one of six variations in a series, each representing different aspects of magical transformation. The theme is derived from a spell that was cast upon Merlin the Magician by a wood nymph, to whom he teaches his magic. The nymph goes forth in the guise of Merlin, while he rests under the shade of a hawthorne tree. Isaac Witkin was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1936. At the age of 21, the sculptor moved to London where he attended St. Martin’s School of Art. In 1965, Witkin emigrated to the United States and became an artistin-residence at Bennington College from 1965– 79. Witkin has exhibited extensively in galleries and museums around the world: Locks
Gallery, Philadelphia; Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase, New York; Grounds For Sculpture, Hamilton, New Jersey; and a solo exhibition at the Walker Hill Art Center, Seoul, Korea. Hawthorne Tree was gifted to the Laumeier
Sculpture Park Collection by Adam and Judy Aronson. The Lambert Art and Culture Program is led by a seven-member Airport Art Advisory Committee which selected the sculptures for exhibition. Current members are Shelley Hagan, Wells Fargo Curator Corporate Art; Laura Helling, Director of Development for Wings of Hope; Marilu Knode, Director of Laumeier Sculpture Park; Leslie Markle, Curator of Public Art, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum; Kiku Obata, Founding Principal of Kiku Obata & Co.; Roseann Weiss, Director of Community and Public Arts for the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission; and Freida L. Wheaton, Salon 53 and Founder of Alliance of Black Art Galleries. Laumeier Sculpture Park is a living laboratory where artists and audiences explore the relationship between contemporary art and the
natural environment. Founded in 1976, Laumeier is one of the first and largest dedicated sculpture parks in the country, making it an institution of international significance as well as a unique complement to the cultural landscape of the St. Louis region. Laumeier is a nonprofit, accredited ar t museum that oper ates in partnership with St. Louis County Parks. Programs are supported by the Regional Arts Commission, Missouri Arts Council, the Arts and Education Council of St. Louis and the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Laumeier presents 60 works of large-scale outdoor sculpture in a 105-acre park available free to the public year-round, and serves 300,000 patrons annually through temporary exhibitions, education p ro g r a m s , p u b l i c e v e n t s a n d sculpture conservation.

People People planner Missouri History Museum to exhibit Nazi Propaganda The Nazi Party developed a sophisticated propaganda machine that deftly spread lies about its political opponents, Jews, and the need to justify war. But Nazi p ro p a g a n d a w a s m u c h m o re complex than that. For the Nazis to achieve power and pursue their racial policies and expansionist war efforts, a much more nuanced picture had to be paintedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one that would appeal to broad swaths of the population, not just a fanatical extreme. Featuring rarely seen artifacts, State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda draws visitors into a rich multimedia environment vividly illustrating the insidious allure of much of Nazi propaganda. The exhibition opens at the Missouri
History Museum in Forest Park on April 11, 2015 and will be on display through September 7, 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adolf Hitler was an avid student of propaganda and borrowed techniques from the Allies in World War I, his Socialist and Communist rivals, the Italian Fascist Party, as well as modern advertising,â&#x20AC;? says exhibition curator Steven Luckert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drawing upon these models, he successfully marketed the Nazi Party, its ideology, and himself to the German people.â&#x20AC;? The exhibition reveals how shortly after World War I, the Nazi Party began to transform itself from an obscure, extremist group into the largest political party in democratic Germany. Hitler early on recognized how propaganda, combined with the use of terror, could help his radical party gain mass support and votes. He personally adapted the ancient symbol of the swastika and the
emotive colors of red, black, and white to create the movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag. In doing so, Hitler established a potent visual identity that has branded the Nazi Party ever since. After seizing power, the Nazi Party took over all communications in Germany. It marshaled the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources to consolidate power and relentlessly promote its vision of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;racially pure,â&#x20AC;? utopian Germany that needed to defend itself from those who would destroy it.

The Arts Artistic adventures Fox announces Broadway Series
The Fabulous Fox Theatre is thrilled to announce its remarkable 2015–2016 U.S. Bank Broadway Series featuring five new hits that are making their St. Louis debuts. The season will open in the fall with MATILDA THE MUSICAL, winner of four 2013 Tony Awards®. Disney’s high-energy new musical NEWSIES kicks off 2016 followed by BEAUTIFUL–The Carole King Musical and the contemporary smash IF/THEN. Rounding out the season are the stunningly romantic THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY and a new production of the beloved classic, THE SOUND OF MUSIC. MATILDA THE MUSICAL | October 21 – November 1, 2015 “Welcome to the deliriously amusing, heartwarming, headspinning world of MATILDA THE MUSICAL. You won’t want to leave” says Bloomberg News. Time Magazine’s #1 Show of the Year and the winner of 50 international a w a rd s , i n c l u d i n g f o u r To n y Awards®, MATILDA is the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. Based on the beloved novel by Roald Dahl, MATILDA continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages on Broadway and in London’s West End. The Wall Street Journal says, “The makers of MATILDA have done the impossible – triumphantly! It is smart, sweet, zany and stupendous fun.” Disney’s NEWSIES | January 19 – 31, 2016 Direct from Broadway comes NEWSIES, the smash-hit, crowdpleasing new musical from Disney. Winner of the 2012 Tony Awards® for Best Score and Best C h o re o g r a p h y, N E W S I E S h a s audiences and critics alike calling it “a musical worth singing about,” says The New York Times. Filled with one heart-pounding number after another, it’s a high-energy explosion of song and dance you just don’t want to miss. Based on true events, NEWSIES tells
the captivating story of a band of underdogs who become unlikely heroes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. It’s a rousing tale about fighting for what’s right…and staying true to who you are. NEWSIES was brought to the stage by an awardwinning creative team. It features a score by Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast”) and Jack Feldman (“The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride”); a book by Harvey Fierstein (“La Cage Aux Folles”); choreography by Christopher Gattelli (“South Pacific”); and direction by Jeff Calhoun (“Big River”). BEAUTIFUL–The Carole King Musical | February 23 – March 6, 2016 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. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation. BEAUTIFUL features a stunning array of beloved songs written by Goffin/King and Mann/Weil, including “I Feel the Earth Move,” “One Fine Day,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “You’ve Got a Friend” and the title song. BEAUTIFUL has St. Louis connections as its producer Paul Blake was the executive producer at The Muny for 22 years and director Marc Bruni has directed numerous Muny shows including “The Music Man” and “Legally Blonde the Musical.” The book is by Tony Award®-nominee and Academy Award®-nominated writer Douglas McGrath and choreography is by Josh Prince. BEAUTIFUL took home two 2014 Tony Awards and the 2015 Grammy® for Best Musical Theater Album.

With unforgettable songs and a deeply moving story by the Pulitzer
Sunset Hill Cemetery Offers the Areas Finest Salute To Veterans On Memorial Day.
Prize and Tony Award®-winning creators of “Next to Normal,” this “fascinating, ambitious, and original new musical” (New York Post) simultaneously follows one woman’s two possible life paths, painting a deeply moving portrait of the lives we lead, as well as the lives we might have led. The Toronto Star calls it “The bravest new musical in a long time. Led by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s dazzling score, it is one of the few Broadway shows that looks and sounds like the world of today.“ “A smart, deeply touching and big-hearted new musical” says The Washington Post. “Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's score is invested with melodic urgency, bringing you to tears or breathlessness.” And the Chicago Tribune calls it “A thoroughly fascinating, intellectually and musically rich new musical. It is a zesty, savvy and ambitious original.” THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY | April 5 – 17, 2016 THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, one of the most romantic stories ever written, first captured the nation’s attention as a bestselling novel by Robert James Waller and is now an irresistible, two time Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical. This stunning new production features gorgeous, soulful music by Tony Awardwinning composer Jason Robert B ro w n ( “ P a r a d e , ” “ T h e L a s t Five Years”) that the Daily News hails as “one of Broadway’s best scores in the last decade.” With a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Marsha Norman (“The Secret Garden,” “The Color Purple”) and direction by Tony winner Bartlett Sher (“South Pacific” “The Light in the Piazza”), THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY is the unforgettable story of two people caught between decision and desire, as a chance encounter becomes a second chance at so much more.

On the heels of their sold out 2014 tour, superstar siblings Julianne and Derek Hough will team up once again, dancing their way across stages all over the country in their new Move Live on Tour 2015. The pair stopped by Good Morning America to announce Move Live on Tour 2015 which will kick off on June 12th in Phoenix, AZ and hit over 40 cities including the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on Friday, July 24 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $99, $62, $52 and $42 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Our goal then, and our goal now is to have it feel like a rock concert for dance, and I think we have and certainly will accomplish that again,” said Julianne Hough. “Our fans haven’t stopped asking when we would go back out on the road so we are excited to be able to tell them that because of their support and demand, we are headed out again to bring them a new and exciting show. We can’t wait to see
everyone on the road,” added Derek Hough.

The Arts Edwardsville Arts Center puts the emphasis on "old school" creations By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge
T
he art of eight area artists working in photography, sculpture and drawing will be highlighted in the next Edwardsville Arts Center's exhibit which opened May 15 and runs through June 19. “In Black and White” will explore art that embraces the absence of color.
Curated by SIUE Art Professor Brigham Dimick, this exhibit presents works that are “old school” in the analogue nature of their processes but are contemporary in creative thought. “Black and white become a unifying force that binds seemingly incompatible identities,” Dimick wrote about the exhibit. “In an era of limitless chromatic variations via digital technology, these respected artists from our region present works that are “old school” in the analogue nature of their processes but are decidedly contemporary in creative thought. From 19th century photographic printing processes to drawings that build off of intaglio printmaking and hand-stitched embroidery, “In Black and White” will challenge viewers to consider the powers of limits.”
Dimick elaborated on this idea noting that “there's a power to limits.” “Artists often create limits to intensify their focus,” he said. “An artist might eliminate color to focus on a deeper sense of unity. If it's just black and white and all the grays in between, then there's more of a unity between things since they aren't different in color. That kind of allows the artist to create new connections between things that would otherwise feel separate.” “So this idea of simplification allows the parts that remain – that are not colored - to be celebrated,” Dimick added. Artists that will be featured in the “In Black and White” exhibit include Erica Popp, Mark Douglas, Jane Linders, Christopher Day, Christine Holtz, Joanna Hoge, Jane Floyd-Hendey and Nick Martin. Joanna Hoge noted in her artist's statement that the the impetus for much of her work was inspired by her research of sensorimotor psychotherapy. “This counseling modality addresses and integrates the role of the body in processing psychological trauma. As a result, I have developed a deep appreciation for the internal hierarchies and complex systems that mediate well-being, an appreciation that I strive to translate into my work. As I become more deeply aware of the intricacies of mind/body
relationships, I am continually challenged to engage with the enormous diversity of emotional states through drawing and printmaking,” Hoge writes. She pointed out that much of her initial imagery is comprised of intaglio prints that reference anatomical illustration. “I intend for these images to act as an index for the scientific/known, pointing toward our ever-present need for quantifiable knowledge. As I act upon these images in both explicit and subtle ways, sewing thick lines of thread, collaging with disparate pieces, I aspire to create an impact that is at once familiar and mysterious,” Hoge noted. “The use of black and white in these images acts as an index for the medical diagrams and textbook illustrations that inspire my work,” Hoge added. “This reductionist language reveals our cultural predilection for labels we can apply to everything, including our physical selves. It my belief that color is not a necessary condition for eliciting emotion and that formal limitations can provide a framework for deeper exploration. In this way, I focus on the potential of line as a tool, one which slowly and intentionally builds form.” Jane Linders, another artist in the exhibit, felt that the creative process of black and white photography feels more artistic. “Images captured in black and
white can be subtle, soft and gentle or high contrast, strong and powerful,” Linders wrote in her artist's statement. “Black and white images causes the viewer to see the entire image as there is no color distraction.” “I find that color photography can be distracting in many images and takes away focus from my subject,” Linders added. “I am drawn to black and white format because it suits almost any type of photography. From portraits, landscapes and architecture, black and white is a medium that adapts well to all lighting situations.” “In Black and White” begins Friday with an opening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Edwardsville Arts Center located at 6165 Center Grove Rd. in Edwardsville. The exhibit runs through June 19 and is free to view at the EAC. The EAC is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. The work of Jenna Smith, a BFA candidate at SIUE concentrating in Painting, will be featured simultaneously at the DeToye Student Gallery. Smith’s paintings and drawings explore the figure in the landscape, as well as figure studies. The exhibit will feature many original paintings as well as drawings and a painting created at the Saint Louis Art Museum that reveal her process of learning directly from the masters.

Pictured are scenes from previous re-enactments of the Battle of Monday's Hollow.
The Battle of Monday's Hollow Re-enactments planned in Linn Creek, Mo. For The Edge Experience history as it comes to life May 30-31 with two reenactments of the Battle of Monday's Hollow at a Living History and Civil War Reenactment Weekend, held at the Missouri Trapshooters Association Grounds located at 51 Trapshooters Road off of State Road A near Linn Creek. This event, sponsored by the Camden County Historical Society & Museum, will feature a full-scale, historically accurate reenactment of the battle on both Saturday and Sunday to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, 1861-1865. Although Missouri was the third bloodiest state during the war, its role in the conflict is often overshadowed by the major battles of Virginia and Tennessee. Missouri was home to several large scale engagements, but much of the bloodshed resulted from ambushes and skirmishes. "The Battle of Monday's Hollow is a perfect example of what happened in Missouri throughout the Civil War because it was a skirmish," says Valerie Thomas, event coordinator and Camden County Historical Society & Museum archivist. "In October 1861, a wagon train left Rolla, Mo. for Linn Creek loaded with wintertime supplies for the troops stationed in the area. As the wagons entered Camden County, 40 Union infantry men accompanying the wagons were ambushed by rebel soldiers. As the Union troops gave chase, they quickly realized they were riding into a trap as they found themselves surrounded by hundreds of Confederate soldiers. Word spread to the nearby Union calvary, who came to their rescue and in the end, 62 Confederates were killed in the fight with only one Union casualty." The event runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday and will feature many period-specific activities throughout
the weekend. The reenactment of the Battle of Monday's Hollow will start at 1 p.m. each day. Afterwards, according to Thomas, "the 'dead will rise' and we will reenact a more 'generic' Civil War battle with cannons, calvaries, and the whole works." Battle reenactments of this scale generally attract an average of about 400-600 reenactors and spectators can often number in the thousands. Thomas is expecting around 6,000 attendees this year. "It's the only reenactment of its kind in the central portion of
Missouri," Thomas continues. "It's like having a front row seat to a live-action Civil War battle movie. It's quite a spectacle - Union and Confederate soldiers with sabers drawn, cannons firing, infantries shooting and the cavalry charging. Adults are absolutely fascinated by it, and kids love it, too. It's really a spectacular two-day event." Each day visitors to the grounds can walk through Confederate and Union military camps and interact with the soldiers on both sides. Throughout the weekend, strolling minstrels will be on the grounds
entertaining visitors with Civil Warperiod music and songs and there will be interpretative reenactment speakers talking about the effects of the war and the life of slaves. On Saturday, from 7-9 p.m., there will be a Civil War dance where soldiers in full regalia and women in period dresses will join arms and step and swing to the authentic sounds of the Gum Springs Serenaders. The dance is free and open to the public, and anyone wishing to join in the fun is welcome. Following the dance, 11 cannons will make an "announcement" using multi-
May 21, 2015
colored powdered flares to close out the evening. A Civil War-era worship service is also scheduled at 8 a.m. Sunday. Attendees can complete the historical experience by visiting the "sutler village," consisting of period vendors, craftsmen, laundresses, woodworkers and soap makers peddling their wares, all of which will be for sale to the public. There also will be traveling museums and a Civil War-era medical tent. Inside the medical tent, visitors can learn how surgery was performed and how illnesses were treated in the 1860s, as well as observe a demonstration of how wounded soldiers would have been treated in the heat of battle. A variety of food vendors are scheduled to be at the site, featuring pulled pork, chicken and ribeye sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, nachos, funnel cakes, kettle corn, ice cream and more. A d m i s s i o n i s f re e t o t h i s maximum-effort reenactment of the only Civil War battle fought in Camden County. Parking is available for suggested donations of $10 per car and $5 per motorcycle. Handicap parking is available and shuttles to and from the battle field will be free of charge. For more information, including an event schedule or for details on how to get involved with the reenactment, call the museum at 573-346-7191 or visit CamdenCountyMuseum.com. The Camden County Historical Society & Museum is located at the corner of U.S. 54 and Route V in Linn Creek and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. five days a week (when volunteers are available).

"Hot Pursuit"
"Hot Pursuit" has all the trappings of a buddy comedy except that whole comedy part. The pairing of Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara, like the recent Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart comedy "Get Hard," is predicated on the distance between the two in height and culture. But, good lord, where are the jokes? Witherspoon plays an uptight, low-ranking San Antonio police officer named Cooper. In her first major assignment since accidentally tasering a teenager (not the best timing for police brutality gags), she's sent with a partner to protect a drug lord set to testify in court, along with his wife, Daniella (Vergara). A shootout at their house leaves the husband dead and sends Cooper and Daniella on the run. They make an odd couple: an inexperienced but straight-as-an-arrow cop and a haughty, high-heeled trophy wife trailing her luggage. The film, directed by Anne Fletcher ("The Guilt Trip") and penned by "Ben and Kate" scribes David Feeney and John Quaintance, strains to find reason to keep the two on the lam. A corrupt police department excuse is cooked up and not one but two cell phones are destroyed. As the two navigate the Texas countryside, they survive by exploiting the sexist underestimations of their male pursuers and those that get in their way. This is a promising enough conceit, and one wants to root for "Hot Pursuit," the rare studio comedy led by women both in front and behind the camera. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sexual content, violence, language and some drug material." RUNNING TIME: 87 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One star out of four.
"Maggie"
Would you stand by your child if she was slowly dying of a gruesome and highly contagious illness? That's the central question that Arnold Schwarzenegger has to face in "Maggie," a terminal illness drama where the malady at hand involves morphing into a member of the flesh-eating undead. Director Henry Hobson's film imagines a world devastated by zombies — although no one ever says that word. Instead of turning to genre conventions, though, "Maggie" stays small, intimate, and fascinatingly realistic. Set in a small Midwestern town, society is still tenuously functioning amid the breakout. Hospitals diagnose the afflicted and set terms for mandatory quarantines before the diseased turn truly dangerous. The police, also, are there to enforce. Other institutions, though, are all but abandoned. Gas stations are empty and electricity is unreliable. For many, life continues as normally as possible. There are no rogue bands of hostile survivalists competing over bunkers and land and no massive zombie armies attacking. "Maggie" is zombie tale that is more interested in the microcosm — the effects of the virus on the family unit and the community, not the shocks and thrills of an all-out war. If this seems like a surprising choice for Schwarzenegger, it is. Even more surprising? He's pretty great. The heart of the movie is the relationship between Wade (Schwarzenegger) and his teenage daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin). She's infected and missing when the film starts, but Wade searches for two weeks to find her and bring her back to the country home that he shares with his new wife (Joely Richardson) and their young children. There, Wade waits for Maggie to transform, trying to spend as much time with her as possible in the interim. Maggie, in turn, fluctuates between all the emotions of dealing with a life cut too short — and her fatal, itchy and grotesque wound. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "disturbing thematic material including bloody images, and some language."

"Mad Max: Fury Road"
The silences in "Mad Max: Fury Road" are unsettling. The moments are few and infrequent, but it's not until the fiery roar of the engines and the thrashing of the guitars are suddenly stripped away that you can fully feel how deeply the film has flooded your being. The theater — and your heart — pulsates with the lack as you recover and wait for more. It's in the silences that director George Miller's singular genius becomes evident, and for good reason: It's the only time the film allows you to breathe. Thirty years after Miller gave the world "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome," he's returned to his own post-apocalyptic world and created an exceptional, fearless and poetic masterpiece that's primed to become a modern classic. In this anarchic world, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) is a lone wolf. As he tells us in the prologue, he's a man whose past traumas have reduced him to a single instinct: Survival. Max's only humanity seems to be in his haunting visions of a child asking for protection. Otherwise, he's gone full animal. As Max, Hardy doesn't so much speak. He grunts and growls and scurries for freedom. But Max quickly gets entangled with others when the war lords of the wasteland put a fish hook in his neck and strap him on as a hood ornament to chase after the rogue Furiosa (Charlize Theron). She's managed to escape the Citadel in a powerful, lumbering War Rig with the wives of their tyrannical leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also played Toecutter in "Mad Max"). Much of the film is spent with the women, and eventually Max, on the rig as they race across the desert away from the painted fighters on their tail. Furiosa, seeking redemption for untold sins, has made it her purpose to bring the wives to "the green place" — an idyllic haven she was taken from as a child. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of violence throughout, and for disturbing images." RUNNING TIME: 120 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Four stars out of four.
"I'll See You In My Dreams"
Loneliness is hard to capture on film. The audience can be told and shown in myriad ways, but the high highs and low lows of filmed melodrama rarely actually reflect the condition that we all know so well. Movies, just like people, can be too afraid of stillness and the banalities of the everyday. On the page, "I'll See You In My Dreams," a light comedic drama about a widow figuring out what to do with her time, seems like the perfect vehicle for emotional extremes. On screen, it's a quiet, elegant, funny, and entirely engaging portrait of a woman re-entering the dating world in her 70s and the off-beat relationships that guide her path. The protagonist, Carol (Blythe Danner), lives a contented life alone. She's been widowed for nearly 20 years, but has just lost another companion — her dog. Carol plays cards with her predictably sassy friends (June Squibb, Rhea Perlman and Mary Kay Place), but for the most part, she is by herself in her expansive, beige Los Angeles home. She gardens, she watches television, she drinks white wine, and time just passes. By allowing the audience into the ordinariness of Carol's life and boredom, we are given the
May 21, 2015
tools to empathize with her solitude. For years, the thought of dating and remarriage had never been a serious consideration for Carol. Her friends remind her that it's not for lack of offers or interest from others, though. She just doesn't open herself up to the possibility. But after her dog dies, and her whole routine starts to stale, Carol is jolted awake and out of her malaise, literally, by Lloyd (Martin Starr), a thirty something who's come to clean her pool. She asks if he thought she was dead. "You don't look that old," he replies. The awkward and memorable charm of that meeting and their burgeoning friendship isn't even the best in the film. One day in the vitamin aisle of a grocery store, a handsome stranger in the form of Sam Elliott walks up to Carol and — cigar dangling from his mustached mouth — wholly disarms her. "You don't need all that. You're just right the way you are," he says gruffly and confidently. It's the kind of flirting that transcends the fourth wall, and launches Carol back into the world of trying. She tries speed dating, she has cackling heart-to-hearts with her friends, and she sings karaoke in a hip Los Angeles dive bar with Lloyd. Carol and the ladies even manage to elevate the "senior citizens getting high" joke. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sexual material, drug use and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 95 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"Pitch Perfect 2"
"Who run the world? GIRLS!" sing those irrepressible Barden University Bellas, channeling Beyonce, in "Pitch Perfect 2." And yes, they sure do run the world. The highly anticipated sequel to the 2012 surprise hit "Pitch Perfect" is now, more than ever, a celebration of girl power, girl bonding, girl harmony, and most of all, girl laughs. As the Beyonce song goes on to say, "Boy, don't even try to touch this." That should be good news for the many, many young women who loved the infectious "Pitch Perfect." And really, all the news is good about this sequel: It is, if anything, funnier than the original. It brings back all your favorite folks, most notably the sweetly geeky and adorable Anna Kendrick and the bawdy, nothing-is-sacred Rebel Wilson, whose Fat Amy gets more screen time and makes the most of it. There's also a new addition, Hollywood it-girl Hailee Steinfeld as an aspiring songwriter. Aside from injecting new blood into the Bellas, she's pretty much the only one who doesn't graduate college by the end of the movie — significant for future sequels. The other important change of note is that "Pitch Perfect 2" is directed by actress Elizabeth Banks, who also produces AND reprises her role as Gail, half of one of the most hilarious broadcast teams ever conceived, real or fictional. Her scenes with the cheerfully racist and sexist John (a sublime John Michael Higgins), narrating the Bellas' various competitions, are the film's highlight. "This is what happens when you send girls to college," he says disapprovingly at one point. He describes the Bellas as an "inspiration to girls all over the country too ugly to be cheerleaders." The script by Kay Cannon and Mickey Rapkin keeps the rapid-fire jokes coming. A throwaway reference to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is hysterical. Much less funny is a no-means-yes sex joke; we could have done without that one, particularly in a college setting. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "innuendo and language." RUNNING TIME: 115 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

In this image released by Roadside Attractions, Arnold Schwarzenegger, left, and Joely Richardson appear in a scene from "Maggie."
Schwarzenegger surprises in "Maggie" By LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press Would you stand by your child if she was slowly dying of a gruesome and highly contagious illness? That's the central question that Arnold Schwarzenegger has to face in "Maggie," a terminal illness drama where the malady at hand involves morphing into a member of the flesh-eating undead. Director Henry Hobson's film imagines a world devastated by zombies — although no one ever says that word. Instead of turning to genre conventions, though, "Maggie" stays small, intimate, and fascinatingly realistic. Set in a small Midwestern town, society is still tenuously functioning amid the breakout.
Hospitals diagnose the afflicted and set terms for mandatory quarantines before the diseased turn truly dangerous. The police, also, are there to enforce. Other institutions, though, are all but abandoned. Gas stations are empty and electricity is unreliable. For many, life continues as normally as possible. There are no rogue bands of hostile survivalists competing over bunkers and land and no massive zombie armies attacking. "Maggie" is zombie tale that is more interested in the microcosm — the effects of the virus on the family unit and the community, not the shocks and thrills of an all-out war. If this seems like a surprising choice for Schwarzenegger, it is. Even more surprising? He's pretty great.
The heart of the movie is the relationship between Wade (Schwarzenegger) and his teenage daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin). She's infected and missing when the film starts, but Wade searches for two weeks to find her and bring her back to the country home that he shares with his new wife (Joely Richardson) and their young children. There, Wade waits for Maggie to transform, trying to spend as much time with her as possible in the interim. Maggie, in turn, fluctuates between all the emotions of dealing with a life cut too short — and her fatal, itchy and grotesque wound. There are a few jump scares and horror movie elements that help to break up the melodrama. Maggie's carefully designed
physical transformation is punctuated by frightening visions of what's to come — even if it's unclear whether they're nightmares or symptoms. Still, everything is restrained. Schwarzenegger's Wade only resorts to violence when protecting Maggie, and even those moments seem to be done reluctantly. His despair is evident in his physicality and his eyes throughout. Many of the scenes take place around the dinner table — some tense, some funny, but all with the heavy fear of the inevitable hanging over every moment. Some of the more affecting parts involve Schwarzenegger weighing his options with various friends.
Nothing to be gained from "Hot Pursuit" By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge The first new movie to try and put a dent into the run of The Avengers sequel in its second week was called Hot Pursuit and it stood about the same chance as a snowball on the south side of Hades. In Hot Pursuit, we are treated to the novelty of two funny lady actresses sharing every scene in a movie that pursues humor in some place that just don't seem too funny by the standards of 2015's sensibilities. There are a few highlights, but this is a short, forgettable film that really is only a placeholder between higher-profile releases, like Age of Ultron and next week's Mad Max: Fury Road. Skip it, unless it's someone else's turn to pick the movie, because there's
nothing important to be gained from the experience. Officer Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) is the daughter of a hero cop that was killed tragically in the line of duty. She grew up to follow in his footsteps by being brave, plucky, and ruthless in her pursuit of the letter of the law. Her fortitude, in fact, is what has led to her being sidelined in the Evidence Room after an unfortunate Tasering of a group of rowdy kids. Those rowdy kids might have deserved it, but we'll never know. Cooper's fellow officers (Michael Mosley, Matthew Del Negro) laugh at her misfortune behind her back every day, but that only drives her ambition to succeed ever higher. An assignment to escort a female prisoner comes down from
her superior (John Carroll Lynch) and Coop jumps at the chance to get back out in the field. It doesn't matter that all she has to do is meet Daniella Riva (Sofia Vergara) and drive her safely from a rural Texas town to Dallas for deposition. Cooper is going to kill it! What doesn't click is that Riva doesn't want protective police custody. She's resistant to the deal cooked up by her stool pigeon husband to rat out his Mexican drug kingpin boss (Joaquin Cosio). Riva's pickup is a botched effort from the beginning and within about twelve minutes of exposition, Cooper and Riva are on the run in a vintage Cadillac from two sets of hitmen that showed up at their meeting to take out the foxy witness. The chase takes on a life of its own through
the destruction of several vehicles, a tour bus, a comically large amount of cocaine, and a Native American casino. Cooper even falls in love with an ex-con (Robert Kazinsky), something her cop logic initially balks at. Mostly though, Hot Pursuit does nothing more than tell the same two lame jokes over and over: Cooper is short for a law enforcement officer and Riva is a former beauty queen aging badly. Who said Hollywood is unfair to actresses in their forties? If these two, an Oscar winner (Witherspoon) and the star of a five-time Emmywinning Best Comedy (Vergara, of Modern Family), can't escape the criticism, then it's probably accurate. Despite its numerous flaws, there are a few bright spots in Hot Pursuit. Two of my favorite
May 21, 2015
stand-up comedians (Mike Birbiglia and Jim Gaffigan) have hilarious cameos. There's even a very brief opportunity where Wi t h e r s p o o n t re a t s u s t o h e r rendition of Lynn Anderson's Rose Garden (for which we touchingly learn that her character is named). The girl can sing folks, lest you forget her turn as June Carter in 2005's Walk the Line. It's too bad that her natural Southern access doesn't extend beyond (Sweet Home) Alabama and Louisiana into the weak Texan she does in this movie. Can't win 'em all. ••• Hot Pursuit runs 102 minutes and is rated PG-13 for sexual content, violence, language, and some drug material. I give this film one and a half stars out of four.

Religion Religion briefs Religious appeal part of Huckabee's second White House bid
HOPE, Ark. (AP) — Former Gov. Mike Huckabee has launched his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination with an unabashed appeal for evangelical support. In his hometown of Hope, Arkansas, Huckabee said America has lost its way morally on issues like abortion and gay marriage and is "now threatening the foundation of religious liberty by criminalizing Christianity." The Southern Baptist minister turned politician portrayed himself as an economic populist and foreign affairs hawk with deeply conservative views on social issues. As the Supreme Court weighs whether states must allow gay marriage, Huckabee said the justices "cannot overturn the laws of nature or of nature's God." He preached a more muscular response to the rise of Islamic State militants, saying, "we will deal with jihadis just as we would deal with deadly snakes." As for Iran's nuclear ambitions, Huckabee said, "Ayatollahs will know that hell will

Judge: Rowan leaders must stop Christian prayers at meetings
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that North Carolina's Rowan County commissioners must stop opening their meetings with prayers that almost always referred to Christianity. U.S. District Judge James Beaty Jr. ruled Monday that the way the commissioners opened meetings with prayers violated separation of church and state. Rowan County commissioners themselves delivered prayers before their meetings. Judge Beaty said the commissioners stood, almost always bowed their heads and asked audience members to also stand and join them in prayers that normally included references to Jesus, the Savior, and other tenets of the Christian faith. Beaty said that distinguished the case from a U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding prayers before public meetings as long as officials make a good-faith effort at inclusion.

On the Edge of the Weekend
NEW YORK (AP) — The Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that exploded in violence over the weekend in suburban Dallas was organized by Pamela Geller, a 56-year-old New Yorker who has warned for years that Islam threatens to destroy the U.S. The contest was offering $10,000 for the best depiction of Muhammad. In an interview with The Associated Press last month as the contest was being organized, Geller called it an attempt to stand up for free speech and said: "We will not bow to violent intimidation." Geller has been involved in numerous lawsuits in recent years, many of them related to her efforts to place ads in public transit systems. New York City's transit authority recently banned all political advertising after a judge upheld Geller's right to run bus ads about Islam that said, "Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah."

Music For The Edge The Coal Country Chamber of Commerce Eleventh Annual Summer Concert Series will bring music to our area again this year every Tuesday in June and July, beginning June 2 in Benld City Park. The concerts begin at 7 p.m. and are 90 minutes straight through. Beginning at 6 p.m. the park is open and the concession stand is open to serve hot dogs, “big smokies”, Italian beef, soda and water, and strawberry shortcake sundaes. The concerts, which bring crowds to the covered pavilion on the South side of the Benld City Park and the large expanse of lawn, are free to the public. Patrons regularly bring their own lawn chairs and enjoy the concerts rain or shine because we are under the pavilion. Parking is free and dancing is often enjoyed. This year’s lineup is: June 2—Scrap Iron and Gold (Bluegrass and Gospel) Returning for their second Summer Concert Series, Scrap Iron and Gold is a bluegrass and gospel band consisting of seven members. The members of the band are: Doug Glenn, banjo; Brenda Oberle, keyboard and vocals; Rick Calvert, lead guitar and lead vocal; Sondra Stallman, fiddle; Ron Lawrence, founder of the band, mandolin and vocals; Sandy Leithauser, keyboard and vocals; and Andy Ritchie, 12 string guitar and vocals. Scrap Iron and Gold was founded in the spring of 2009 by Ron Lawrence who had always longed for a “family band.” Ron and his “Scrap Iron” bluegrass and gospel buddies won first place at the county fair that summer when they played “I’ll Fly Away.” Soon three ladies were introduced into the band on vocals, keyboards and fiddle. The ladies, not wanting to be called “Scrap Iron” soon added the name of “Gold” to the mix . This mix of four men and three ladies discovered the “Scrap Iron and Gold” sound. This sound consists of fiery banjo tunes, gospel favorites, novelty songs, sounds of the civil war on fiddle and patriotic favorites. June 9—Dixie Dudes and Dance Band (40’s and 50’s Dixieland Style) The Dixie Dudes Dixieland Band commenced as an extension of the Lewis & Clark Community College Concert Band of Godfrey Illinois in 1985. The Dixieland Band, an eight piece ensemble, became so popular that it soon had requests to play at many functions. The band’s first engagement was for the opening of the new Amtrak Railroad Station in Alton, IL. Since then the band has performed for conventions, college concerts, restaurants, retirement centers, Church functions, Marti Gras celebrations, Christmas parties, birthday parties and many other occasions. The music is authentic traditional Dixieland as played in New Orleans. The band members are a mix of amateur and professional musicians who play for fun and recreation. The players include two teachers, a politician, two engineers, a pilot, and two doctors. The music will lift the spirit, lighten the heart, and start the foot tapping. Most recently the Dixie Dudes have expanded into rock n roll tunes and dance tunes to play for weddings and

Most recently the band has a regular engagement at the “Jazz on Broadway” in Alton to enthusiastic crowds. Recent engagements include dances at the VFW and Lodge of the Eagles in Alton. Recently the band has booked several engagements in Grafton, IL at the historic Ruebel Hotel. The band is constantly adding new tunes. Recent additions, two Latin tunes, “Sway”, “Oye Coma Va”, a Swing t u n e “ Tu x e d o J u n c t i o n ” a n d Dixieland tune, “Muskrat Ramble” June 16—River Ramblers (Original Bluegrass) The River Ramblers are a five piece Bluegrass band that hails from areas surrounding Springfield IL. The group assembled in 1987 with the commitment to maintaining the traditional bluegrass sound. If you’re familiar with the music of Bluegrass icons such as Monroe, Stanley, Flatt & Scruggs, you will recognize nearly every tune this band performs. To date, the group has issued three recordings which include mostly traditional songs combined with some original tunes. Don Randle is a computer wizard by day and plays upright bass on the side. Don also is an accomplished banjo player and occasionally the Ramblers will sneak in a banjo tune featuring Don. Jennifer Ramm came to the area from Michigan and quickly found a way to put her fiddling talents to use. She has been with the group since 1993 and provides striking lead and harmony vocals as well. Je n n i fe r a dde d to the b and’s sound, the “final touch” necessary to bluegrass music. She is known throughout the area for hosting the local PBS Bluegrass radio show on Sunday evenings.

the early years as a bass player and converted to banjo when the original banjo player moved on. Mike was raised in Arkansas where he first acquired an affinity for Bluegrass. He now resides in central Illinois where he continues to enhance his “Croweish” banjo licks. Mike has also developed his own design of “Kat eyz” banjo bridges in recent years and has enjoyed much success producing and marketing them around the world. The position of guitar is filled by Marc Bourne, a central Illinois native. He is one of the remaining original members of the band and is enjoying continued opportunities to learn the music and instrumentation. Marc also contributes lead and back-up vocals along with providing the “straight man” target of Duane’s big country humor. Duane Patterson is the founder of the group. He came to the area from Kentucky which is, as you know, “The Bluegrass State”, and could not leave his roots behind. He soon had the group in place and has since always played the role of band promoter. Duane provides most of the lead vocals and plays a “Monroe - like” bold style of Mandolin. There is seldom a dull moment when he is on the stage (or off-stage for that matter). Duane and the River Ramblers are typically known for their entertaining style on stage as the lively music is combined with an acute degree of personal character. They are sure to keep your attention even if you’re not familiar with this style of music. The group attributes their longevity to enjoying the music and the camaraderie of their fellow musicians. June 23---The SteamRollers (Blues and Classic Rock) The Steamroller Band is a St. Louis, MO Classic Rock and Blues band. It is well known in the Metro-East area as well. The band members (Julie Blank - keyboards
and vocals, Greg Blank - Bass and Vocals, Chris Letrello - Drums and Vocals, and Rich Kasznel - Guitar and Vocals) have years (decades!) of experience playing in the St. Louis area. The band has created a unique mix of music and with excellent sound control - and volume control! - providing an ideal musical event for any venue. June 30—B & B Strings (Acoustic Trio of Classic Rock & Country) New to the Summer Concert Series this year, B&B Strings is an acoustic trio consisting of two acoustic guitars and a bass guitar based in Litchfield and Hillsboro, IL. Ben Pulley and Bob Smith were the original members starting as a duo in early 2012. Roy Rubenstein made it a trio in early 2012. All three members sing and contribute harmonies to vocals. They play a wide variety of music, from classic rock to country classics that are popular and recognizable, always working within acoustic harmony arrangements. July 7—Scrap Iron and Gold (Bluegrass and Gospel) July 14—The Fundamentals (Pop/ Rock, Oldies, Motown, Classics) The Fundamentals present a blend of music that combines pop/rock oldies, rhythm & blues/ Motown, party classics, and variety. Featuring veteran musicians and vocalists, the group can provide listening and dancing music for many different entertainment settings. I l l i n o i s a n d M i s s o u r i a re a music lovers may be familiar with Fun damentals member s' other successful groups: Rusty Halo, the band for the 55 KUSA Roadshow w/Frank O’Pinion; or The Boomers, a dance/show band which performed at many corporat e and privat e event s in the St. Louis metro area and throughout Central Illinois. Featuring bassist Kevin Leitheiser and keyboardist Sandy Leitheiser, those groups have opened shows for B. J. Thomas, The Chi-Lites, The Shirelles, The Crystals, The

Paul Robi Platters, and Bertie Higgins . Now joined by guitarist Rick Gasparin and drummer Gary Morris, The Fundamentals continue the tradition of quality performances. The Springfield, Illinois' weekly social/entertainment newspaper, The Illinois Times, has selected The Fundamentals as their "IT" pick on eight different occasions. July 21---Fireproof Band (Contemporary Christian Pop) Fireproof UMC was formed at an annual planning meeting of the United Methodist Church of Gillespie in 2012. A praise band ministry was one of the topics discussed, and on the hearts of musicians in the church. Consisting of long time area musicians; Gay Farrar-keyboards/vocals, Phil Claro-guitar/vocals, Jeff Nehlsguitar/vocals, Jim Allen-bass/ sound and Jim Savant-drums/ vocals and featuring vocalists Allison Beckett, Edie Friese and Deanna Claro. Inspired by Christian radio like Joy FM, Fireproof UMC plays contemporary Christian pop, their mission is to make a joyful noise for God. July 28--Steve Davis, Memories of Elvis Steve Davis’s show Memories of Elvis is ever popular for local audiences. Davis appears in full Elvis attire and sings many of the classics that made him a household name in the 50’s and 60’s. Steve Davis, who does Memories of Elvis, all over the United States is especially a favorite of this area of which he is a native.

Alison Krauss and Union Station to be joined by The Harmons For The Edge Senior Services Plus’ Executive Director Jonathan Becker announced that the headlining act for the 6th Annual Feed the Need Concert will be bluegrass-country superstar singersongwriter and musician, Alison Krauss. Krauss will perform with her band Union Station. “We are so thrilled to have such a big name to help support our agency this year,” exclaimed Becker. “Alison has been so influential in the bluegrass community and the fact that she is willing to travel to Alton to play a benefit concert for Meals on Wheels will bring so much awareness to the Meals on Wheels program in Southern Illinois.” The concert will take place on Saturday, June 13, 2015 as the first show in the Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater Summer Concert Series. Alison Krauss has won a record twenty-seven Grammy Awards over the course of her career as a solo artist, as a group with Union Station, as a duet with Robert Plant, and as a record producer. She is currently tied with Quincy Jones as the winner of the second highest number of Grammy Awards. She has also won 14 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, 9 Country Music Association Awards, two Gospel Music Association Awards, two CMT Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, and one Canadian Country Music Award. Country Music Television ranked Krauss 12th on their "40 Greatest Women of Country Music" list in 2002. The players of Union Station—Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Dan Tyminski (guitar, mandolin, lead vocal), Ron Block (banjo, guitar) and Barry Bales (bass, vocals), with Krauss on lead vocal and fiddle—are five distinct personalities who come together to form something truly unique as a band. Each bandmate has his own bustling career, but when these singular musicians come
20
together, they’re an airtight unit devoted to the process of making music together. Local favorite The Harman Family Bluegrass Band is named as opening act. The group is originally from Shipman, Illinois. The Harman Family Bluegrass Band today consists of first and second generation musicians having deep roots dating back to 1975. The Harman’s music style ranges from traditional to contemporary bluegrass, country, gospel and other various types of music. Mike Harman, the founding father of the local group, was a Rounder
On the Edge of the Weekend
recording artist and a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station from 1986 to 1990. During this time, Mike performed on the Grand Ole’ Opry and recorded on the Grammy nominated Two Highways album and on the platinum seller Now That I’ve Found You – A Collection by Alison Krauss. “I’m excited to work with Senior Services Plus on this great event,” Harman explained. “I feel very fortunate to still be involved with Bluegrass music after almost 38 years, and now to be working again with world-famed Alison Krauss. I enjoyed playing with her immensely
in the 80’s and going to the Grammy Awards was such a great experience. We’re still friends. In fact, the Harmans recently recorded and had the privilege of working with her in the studio.” Krauss recorded as back-up vocals to the Harmans on an unnamed album which should be released in the next few months Harman also added, “This event will be like a homecoming to Alison Krauss. Many Bluegrass fans watched her grow up here, appearing with the Harmans for over eight performances in the mid 80’s until the early 90’s. It’s really exciting to think that we can be working together again
on this project to help out our local agency.” Krauss’s most recent appearance in this area was at Lewis & Clark Community College’s Hathaway Hall in 2008 for the Harman’s 30th Anniversary Show. The Feed the Need concert brings the community together with the goal of raising awareness for the Meals On Wheels program. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the agency’s Meals On Wheels program. Senior Services Plus is currently providing 650 meals daily, covering 22 townships in Madison and St. Clair counties. According to the Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA), 1 in 7 seniors is going hungry, equaling over 8 million seniors in the United States alone. Senior Services Plus’s Meals On Wheels program currently provides over 650 meals on a daily basis to homebound seniors in 22 townships within Madison & St. Clair counties. The meals are the equivalent to 1/3 of the daily nutritional needs as suggested by the State of Illinois. Tickets are $40 each, and are available at the Alton Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau, The Fox Theatre (St. Louis, MO), Senior Services Plus, Metrotix.com or charge by phone (314) 534-1111.

Music Tuning in Straight No Chaser to appear at The Fox
Atlantic Records recording group Straight No Chaser has announced the release of their much-anticipated new album as well as details of a major North American tour. "The New Old Fashioned" – the world famous a cappella group’s fifth fulllength release – arrives this October. Straight No Chaser will celebrate the album’s release with what will be their biggest headline tour to date. “The New Old Fashioned Tour” sets off on October 16th in Las Vegas at the MGM Casino’s David Copperfield Theatre and then continues into 2016, concluding with 2 dates in Hawaii (Honolulu and Maui) to ring in the New Year (see attached itinerary). The tour will stop at The Fox Theatre for a 7:30 p.m. show on Nov. 27. Tickets may be purchased at at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office. “The New Old Fashioned Tour” follows Straight No Chaser’s recently concluded “The Happy Hour Tour,” an epic 2014/2015 world trek which saw the group perform over 67 shows in the US alone, as well as dates in more than 15 countries, including Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Austria, Holland, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom for more than 200,000 paying fans. Additionally, Straight No Chaser is set to take part in one of their home state of Indiana’s greatest traditions, the singing of “(Back Home Again In) Indiana” prior to the start of the annual Indianapolis 500. The group – which was founded in 1996 at Indiana University Bloomington – will perform “(Back Home Again In) Indiana” during the pre-race festivities, taking on the honor following legendary entertainer Jim Nabors’s 2014 retirement after having performed the song live 35 times since 1972. The Indianapolis 500 Pre-Race Show airs live on ABC on May 24th at 12 Noon ET (check local listings). Straight No Chaser’s fourth fulllength release, 2013’s “Under the Influence” saw the renowned vocal group reimagining a selection of their all-time favorite songs alongside many of the superstar artists and undisputed music icons that made them famous. Produced by Mark Kibble (a founding member of the legendary a cappella group Take 6 and one of Straight No
Chaser ’s primary influences), the album included unprecedented collaborations with some of popular music’s best and brightest – including Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Dolly Parton, Rob Thomas, Seal, Sara Bareilles, and Jason Mraz – as Straight No Chaser put their distinctive and inimitable spin on songs known and loved the world over.
Australian Pink Floyd coming to St. Charles
Acclaimed tribute band, The Australian Pink Floyd Show, today announced a North American tour kicking off on July 21 in Lewiston, New York at Artpark. The 30-plus date tour will take the world famous band to Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, Atlanta, Montreal, New Orleans and more. Led Zeppelin2 will join the tour as special guests. Selling 4 million tickets worldwide and described by The Times as "the Gold Standard" and The Daily Mirror as "The Kings of The Genre," The Australian Pink Floyd Show gave its first concert in Adelaide, Australia in 1988. Since then, they have performed in over 35 countries worldwide; played at David Gilmore's 50th birthday celebration and were even joined on stage by Rick Wright. Performing the music of Pink Floyd with note for note perfection, this critically-acclaimed tribute show has been astonishing audiences worldwide and their plans for North America are no different as their live shows will be packed with the greatest Pink Floyd hits ever. Striving to reproduce the Pink Floyd experience and bring new music to new audiences, the live show continues to include a stunning light and laser show, video animations, film projected onto a large circular screen and other special effects. With 27 years of history, the world's biggest, best and greatest tribute band continues to delight audiences. Led Zeppelin2 - The Live Experience brings fans the excitement of Led Zeppelin "In Concert" by re-enacting the live improvisation and onstage interaction that earned Led Zeppelin their legendary status for performing. Rather than a "greatest hits" show, fans experience Zeppelin as Zeppelin would have
Memorial Day Weekend
played in front of an audience. The band has earned critical praise along the way with Chicago Sun Times proclaiming, "As good a Zep as Zep ever did back in the day." while the Dallas Observer says Led Zeppelin2 is "… the closest thing to seeing the real Led Zeppelin." TimeOut Chicago adds, "A lot of Zep tributes out there, but this one’s our favorite… its members fully immerse themselves in the musicianship and style of the four classic-rock heavyweights. That Yakuza howler Bruce Lamont does a mean Robert Plant is icing on the cake." A performance is scheduled Tuesday, August 4, at The Family Arena in St. Charles. Tickets can be purchased at the Family Arena Ticket Office or online at www.metrotix.com. To charge by phone call MetroTix at 314-534-1111. For help purchasing accessible seating, please call The

North County Big Band to perform at the Sheldon
The Sheldon presents the North County Big Band (NCBB), Sunday, May 31 at 3:30 p.m. in the perfect acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall. Directed by Harvey Lockhart of Riverview Gardens High School, this collaborative big band is made up of some of the most talented and dedicated students from several St. Louis area high schools, including Riverview Gardens, Normandy, Central Visual and Performing Arts and University City. The performance will be a culmination of three months of
Saturday morning rehearsals by the band at either The Sheldon or Jazz St. Louis, with coaching provided by leading educators and musicians including Lockhart, Thomas Moore of Normandy Middle School, Delano Redman of East St. Louis Senior High, and top jazz pianist Peter Martin. “The idea for the NCBB came from Harvey Lockhart, who shared with us his dream to give his students, and those in surrounding school districts, the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of their instruments, and how to play in a big band setting,” says Sue Wise, Education Director at The Sheldon. “These students would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in an ensemble at this level, or take private lessons with teachers of this caliber. The Sheldon proud to be the home base for this talented group!”
