If you were old enough to remember anything in 2000, chances are you remember the hit “Last Resort” by Papa Roach. It’s a song about a friend who struggled with the issues of life and the desire to carry on, and the lyrics resonated with many.
SPORTS Basketball
STREAM
Formed in Vacaville, California, in 1993, Papa Roach currently consists of Jacoby Shaddix on lead vocals; Jerry Horton lead guitar and backing vocals; Tobin Esperance on bass, programming, backing vocals; and Tony Palermo on drums.
Marvin Gaye
Papa Roach’s first album Infest, with the help of “Last Resort,” was certified 3x Platinum by the Recording Industry of America in July 2001. They didn’t stop there, however, and 26 years after their formation they’re credited with selling over 20 million albums worldwide. They also charted 17 Top 5 hit singles on Billboard and recently released their tenth studio album, Who Do You Trust? When asked how the band has managed to last so long, Palmero told Focus, “Lyrical content . . . Jacoby writes on the real. It’s really helped us.” He added it is important to make sure you write the stuff you’re into which has led fans to share their experiences with the band and how they’ve made a positive impact on so many lives through music. There’s no question about lead singersongwriter Shaddix and his lack of fear about attacking his personal demons while addressing modern issues. For those who
12
Focus | March 13 - March 19 | Volume 3 Issue 11
have become accustomed to the lyrical side of the band, they won’t be let down as he continues to please on their new album with songs like, “Not the Only One” and “Maniac.” There’s even a little something for those of us who like the old school punk sound in “I Suffer Well,” and a Rage Against the Machine feel in the lyrics and rhythm to the song “Who do you Trust?” Palermo talked about the evolution of their sound: “We’ve implemented a lot more of the electronic stuff,” which helps them to, “Stay fresh and are able to take and create vibes.” He also mentioned the importance of learning from and listening to the feedback from the fans, both good and bad. When referring to the tour Palmero stated, “The show as a whole is so incredible. I’ve been reading a lot of comments where people are really blown away by the whole night.” Don’t miss out, it’s going to be one hell of a show. 104.1 The Blaze Presents Shinedown with Papa Roach & Asking Alexandria on Friday, March 15, 7:00 PM Pinnacle Bank Arena 400 Pinnacle Arena Drive, Lincoln, NE

He was not a big-time high school hoopster. “One of my friends from high school ended up coming to Doane on a basketball scholarship,” Shah recalled. While he was going to school in California, his friend was playing ball and booking shows in Nebraska. After the friend graduated, he suggested Shah come to the Lincoln-Omaha area due to the music scene, the support shown local artists, and the cost of living. The sales pitch was a success. “I decided to come out here and see what I could do,” Shah stated. He has found the music scene to be as advertised. “I think it’s really great,” Shah said. “There’s really something for everybody.”
Shah describes his sound as strongly influenced by New York hip-hop, meaning it is punchline driven, more than telling a story. “Having the content but trying to deliver it in a way that wounds ‘cool,’” he said. While East Coast 90s hip-hop is a strong influence, Doctor Dre and Snoop Dogg are not far away. You can expect Shah’s sound to evolve. “I’ve always been really into music,” Shah said. Something was always playing around the house and other family members played instruments. Hip-hop was a natural outgrowth of that as he grew. “This is a really cool medium of expression,” he said of hip-hop. Shah got his start at songwriting when his private school was threatened with closure. His response was to write a song about the situation and, while still a high school freshman, a family friend helped him record the composition. “After that it kind of took off from there. I got my own microphone from a pawn shop,” Shah remembered. “Everything moves me to make music.” In addition to live performance – he regularly takes the stage in Omaha and Lincoln - Shah shares his music through videos on Facebook. SoundCloud, YouTube, and Band Camp. His most recent project is also available on Spotify and Apple Music. The subject matter? “I’ll talk about love. Talk about struggles,” he “About said. half the time the instrumentals I choose do employ sampling,” he said.

The Fey - SXSW Bound By Andy Roberts
If you were a fan of the Lincoln band known as AZP, chances are you’ll like The Fey. Basically, because it’s the same band – new name for a revised edition. The Fey is an American rock-soul sextet from Lincoln that is heading back to South By Southwest for the fifth time. “It’s been great every single time,” said lead vocalist and keyboardist Zachary Watkins. “It’s one of our favorite cities (in which) to perform.” Watkins is joined in The Fey by Ishma Valenti who sings and performs auxiliary

duties, drummer Jake Kawamoto, Michael Rogers on lead guitar, Ludwing Siebenhor on rhythm guitar and backing vocals while John Fuchinaro handles bass duties. AZP started years ago from a music production venture, Watkins explained. “It was a collective . . . we were kind of working on each other’s music,” Watkins said.
It seems Watkins is a big fan of The Peeky Blinders British TV show and the name comes from a scene involving a gangster and a priest. Watkins Googled the term and it translates roughly to being on the path to death but in a righteous way.
“I took that word and pretty much made it into what our songwriting is for the band.” Watkins is “pretty much” the lead songwriter – he works on his keyboards at home – takes He and Valenti were the longest standing members, but as new band members came in it to rehearsal and they work it out. He does the lyrics with Valenti. the sound evolved to rock-soul. As suggested earlier, they are the duo who “It was time for a name change that was founded the ensemble about 15 years ago

“The (other) three band members now, it’s pretty much recruited into the band,” he said. Watkins developed his love of music while growing up in the church. “My dad’s a pastor in the Baptist church,” he said. The reaction of a congregation losing itself in the music made a lasting mark. “It’s probably the biggest thing I hold on to as a songwriter,” he stated. In addition to what he heard in church, Watkins listened to his father’s Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Anita Baker records. “We’re all young guys with old souls,” Watkins offered. “That (older music) sticks with our sound.”
The Fey, he explained is a bit more rock than those records, with contemporary pop and hip-hop influences. Those can be heard in the three EPs that AZP released: Red Moon, Triangles, and Strawberry Lemonade. They remain available on the usual platforms.
The Fey are playing in the Nebraska and Kansas City showcases at SXSW– they recently signed to The Record Machine – a Kansas City label. The band is working on its first LP for the label with a planned fall release.
The band took a break from performing around Christmas, so they are heading out on a short tour through Oklahoma and Texas with a stop in Lawrence, Kansas, on the way back. It is during this trip they will play Austin and SXSW.
Will they blow the audiences away on the Southern Swing?
Wherever they play is just fine with Watkins.
“That’s the plan!” Watkins exclaimed. For more information on The Fey: www.facebook.com/thefeyband/
“I think we have a wide range of where and when and how we can perform,” he explained. “The best thing for us is when the crowd is feeding back.”

The Individual 401(k) By Michael Herek If you’re self-employed or own a small business, you’ve probably considered establishing a retirement plan. If you’ve done your homework, you likely know about simplified employee pensions (SEPs) and savings incentive match plans for employees (SIMPLE) IRA plans. These plans typically appeal to small business owners because they’re relatively straightforward and inexpensive to administer. What you may not know is that in many cases an individual 401(k) plan (which is also known by other names such as a solo 401(k) plan, an employer-only 401(k) plan, a single participant 401(k) plan, or a mini 401(k) plan) may offer a better combination of benefits.

and discrimination testing that are generally required for regular 401(k) and profit-sharing plans. Other advantages of an individual 401(k) plan Large potential annual contributions and straightforward administrative requirements are appealing, but individual 401(k) plans also have advantages that are shared by many other types of retirement plans: •
An individual 401(k) is a tax-deferred retirement plan, so you pay no income tax on plan contributions or earnings (if any) until you withdraw money from the plan. And, your business’s contribution to the plan is tax deductible.*
•
You can, if your plan document permits, designate all or part of your elective deferrals as after-tax Roth 401(k) contributions. While Roth contributions don’t provide an immediate tax savings, qualified distributions from your Roth account are entirely free from federal income tax. Contributions to an individual 401(k) plan are completely discretionarÍy. You should Íalways try to contribute as much as possible, but you have the

option of reducing or even suspending plan contributions if necessary. An individual 401(k) plan can allow loans and may allow hardship withdrawals if necessary. An individual 401(k) plan can accept rollovers of funds from another retirement savings vehicle, such as an IRA, a SEP plan, or a previous employer’s 401(k) plan.
Disadvantages Despite its attractive features, an individual 401(k) plan is not the right option for everyone. Here are a few potential drawbacks: An individual 401(k) plan, like a regular 401(k) plan, must follow certain requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. Although these requirements are much simpler than they would be for a regular 401(k) plan with multiple participants, there is still a cost associated with establishing and administering an individual 401(k) plan.
Self-employed individuals* and small business owners with significant compensation can already contribute a maximum $56,000 by using a traditional profit-sharing plan or SEP plan. An individual 401(k) plan will not allow contributions to be made above this limit (an exception exists for catch-up contributions that can be made by individuals age 50 or older). An individual 401(k) may not meet your future needs. If your business grows and you hire a full-time employee who is not your spouse, that employee will generally need to be included in your plan. If that happens, you no longer have an individual 401(k) plan; you have a regular 401(k) plan and profit-sharing plan, and you lose the benefit of the individual 401(k) plan’s simplified administration rules.
Your individual 401(k) plan assets are fully protected from your creditors under federal law if you declare bankruptcy. However, since an individual 401(k) plan generally isn’t subject to ERISA, whether your plan’s assets will be protected from your creditors outside of bankruptcy will be determined by the laws of your particular state.

Getting to Know the Prince of Motown: Marvin Gaye By Jesse D. Stanek
Whatever you want to call it, cool jazz, West Coast chill, or post-bop groove, Bobby Hutcherson spoke it fluently. The vibraphonist composed and played some of the most arresting, gleefully rambunctious music ever made. His playing always had a strong familiar voice. Whether he was backing up or playing front and center, it’s impossible to listen to a song Hutch is on and not feel his musical presence. His playing demands it. Hutcherson was one of the first to adapt the vibraphones to a freer post-bop language, veering away from some of the more regimented playing of the times, often playing chords with a pair of mallets in each hand to get the speed and complexity he was after. His style and flair was more akin to that of a pianist as opposed to a vibes man. He had a close relationship with the iconic jazz label Blue Note Records from 1963 through 1977, playing on a plethora of recordings. Alongside artists like Jackie McLean and Andrew Hill, Hutcherson was part of a new wave of artists who would define the label’s burgeoning taste for more experimental playing. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 75 having recorded more than 40 albums under his own name and played on many more, including hallmark recordings like Eric
Dolphy’s “Out to Lunch” and Joe Henderson’s “Mode for Joe.” Always the willing and competent role player, Hutcherson brought his gypsy timing and unpredictable phrasing to everything he played on, however he shines brightest as a leader, on his own records, composing the tunes and calling the shots. There is a comparison you hear between Modern Jazz Quartet vibraphonist Milt Jackson being the Charlie Parker of vibes, Hutcherson coming along, much like John Coltrane did with Parker, and taking the instrument beyond it’s previous limits. Playing the vibes with such a unique tone, a singular songbird with a mallet, Hutcherson was able to collaborate and play with some of the best musical minds jazz has known: Herbie Hancock, Harold Land, Grant Green, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Joe Chambers and Joshua Redman. The list goes on, a veritable who’s who of the past and present jazz landscape.
chill-grooves. “San Francisco” has to be some of the most sampled jazz ever recorded, the timeless melodies behind your favorite hip-hop cuts. There’s a reason this record sounds every bit as fresh almost fifty years later, what’s being done had never been done before or since. This is five musicians In 1965 a young Hutch shacked up with Han- on fire, taking Hutcherson’s compositions and filling out the boundaries and coloring cock, bassist Ron Carter, Freddie Hubbard, in the detail. “Cirrus” was recorded a year James Spaulding and Chambers on drums. prior with different personnel, including The resulting record, “Components” is an epic achievement, one of the rare records to trumpeter Woody Shaw, and also serves as a receive an All Music five-star rating. It’s early great example of Hutcherson’s nimble paws and love for hidden melody. in Hutcherson’s career and the spirit of his playing is a bit more contained then on his later records but it remains an essential for any jazz or music lover. A classic document of a golden time in music. The moods are varied enough to keep you interested yet the overall feel is coherent; lilting and occasionally jarring, the music is sweet on top keeping it’s mystery just below the surface. The next five years saw a fair bit of upheaval in the American conscience, a moral shift of sorts. Released in 1970, Hutcherson’s masterpiece, “San Francisco” reflected that unease and optimism. Collaborating with saxophonist and frequent partner Harold Land, Hutcherson’s playing manages to question and demand simultaneously, his solos capable of ferocity and gentle understanding. Hutch on songs like “Going Down South” and “Ummh” gives you some of the most honest, emotionally raw playing you’ll hear on any instrument, all backed by whip-tight

For a nice taste of Hutcherson’s work as a sideman, “Idle Moments” by guitarist Grant Green is great foray. Alongside producer Don Pearson on the piano and Joe Henderson on the sax, Hutcherson and crew give Grant’s conversational guitar plenty of room to chat. “Idle” is certainly part of the sacred cannon of never-again jazz recordings. All the right pieces in all the right places and the band steaming through the night hellbent on unknown shores. If you ever happen to forget or wonder why jazz is fun, this record will bring you back.
For a taste of the master towards the end of his career, the live “Somewhere in the Night” is an excellent place to start. The speed and agility of his playing hadn’t slowed a bit, but there is an obvious maturity to his phrasing, to his stepping back, making the runs he does play hit that much harder. Hutcherson brought a one-of-a-kind style and voice to the vibraphone and his playing is destined to remain a towering influence on music for generations to come.
