Summer

EDITOR’S NOTE Just like every summer, the trademark Valley heat hid under the last wave of Spring indecision and hit us over the head in one fell swoop. You’ve probably got a plan to escape out to Pismo, Monterey, or just up the road to Millerton Lake during those three-digit temperatures. Want to know my favorite hideaway? Huntington Lake.

Every year, us friends get together, load up some gear, and drive up the hill past Shaver into Huntington Lake. I look forward to the next trip the moment I leave the current one. It always feels like an underappreciated gem – it’s never crowded, and we always find a sweet spot on the shore to hunker down for the afternoon to enjoy perfect 80-degree weather.

The funny thing is, you’d think the locals would like to keep it low-key to minimize the rush of out of towners taking over their turf, but it’s the tourists who fuel their local economy. One year, we stumbled on to this old bar up on a hill that wound down to the lake – the bar sat at the top with a large patio complete with fire pits and a beautiful view. Inside looked like a time capsule from somewhere in the late 70s to mid-80s with old plaid couches, and recliners staggered around the space atop of some throw rugs. The owner had three or so senior dogs sleeping, scattered, around the bar’s wooden floors, one of which would lead you to the dock if you asked him

to “take me to the lake.” As charming as the place was, we were the only four people in there – in the middle of July.

Enjoying the feeling of exclusivity, we chatted up the bartender and listened to stories from the owner. He told us how the flow of visitors had slowed to a trickle over the years – as if people were forgetting all about Huntington Lake as the seasons rolled around, preferring Shaver and Bass Lake because they’re closer or some other attraction that caught their eye. It took the wind out of our sails a bit – I mean, who couldn’t love the serenity of a crystal blue lake high enough in the mountains to put the chill back into the night air?

Huntington has a sort of magic about it that brings us back to it every summer always finding something different - it’s quiet, spread out, and full of people where you want them and none where you don’t.

I’m sure there are plenty of other places like this one tucked away all over the Central Valley. The point of this note is to remember them or to go find them. One of the many treasures of the Valley is the amazing displays of nature right in our backyard – sometimes we get wrapped up in going to the big cities north and south of here when the vacation seasons roll around that we forget about some of those gems that make this area so unique.

Album Review:

On the Road to Love

By Don Priest | kfsrbluesdog@gmail.com

D

ebi Ruud has a story to tell - about love: lost, found, and the spaces in between. Consequently, her new CD, “All That Matters,” is primarily an emotional sojourn through the highs and lows connected to affairs of the heart. “I was trying to tell a personal story that meant something to me.

I wanted to tell sort of my life – not all of my life – but a significant portion of my life’s love story,” she says.

Like any life story, hers is convoluted one weaving its way through the love of singing (first discovered in high school) and continuing on through marriage, raising children, failed dreams, starting over and eventually finding new love. The problem: how do you express all this life in a single body of work? Like the song says, “What to leave in? What to leave out?”

For Debi, the first step on the road to achieving her vision was the choice of Tone - should the album be Jazz, Pop or somewhere in between - which in turn caused her to dwell on how she classifies herself as a singer. “I think because I’ve sung in so many top 40 cover bands for years and years and years, I was never able to fully figure out what kind of singer I am. I’m pretty versatile, but I get the most enjoyment out of singing jazz – because I feel the most vocally free and vocally in my element.”

That versatility is easily recognized via a quick perusal of her career. She began

in high school singing in the choir, then with cover bands that played the pop hits of the day. For a while, she focused on Gospel (“I wanted to be the next Amy Grant.”) followed by years singing tunes from the Great American Songbook with the “Joe Lenigan Band” and other Jazz ensembles.

She currently sings in a church choir, a small Pop group, and rocks that 70’s sound in “Debi Ruud and The Lost Souls.”

“Debbie can do it all,” attests Lenigan. “She can sing a ballad sounding like June Christy in front of the Stan Kenton orchestra and turn around and sing a Diana Krall tune, and then turn around and sing anything from Etta James to Aretha Franklin. And do it effortlessly.”

In the end and after much consideration, “All That Matters” became more of a Pop collection with some Jazz overtones.

She wrote two songs herself and then spent

“hours and hours picking through songs that I loved, that meant something to me over the years.” The CD contains seven tunes, two originals and five very carefully selected covers.

Of the tunes she penned, How Did We Get Here speaks of the loss she felt going through divorce, while Simple Things is an ode to her current joy. Woven in between are songs by Don Henley, Glen Fry, Lori McKenna and others that convey the essence of her journey, like The Heart of The Matter.

“That song is so beautiful and says exactly what I wanted to say,” is how she describes it.

Debi would love for listeners of the album to come away reflecting on their own love story – both the ups and the downs – and if it’s not going well she hopes the music will help them muster the courage to hang on.

“I thought I was gonna die when I got divorced, I really did. But I did not die. And now my life is better than I ever could have expected.”

To get the project funded, she turned to a Go Fund Me effort on social media, which also led to some self-reflection. “It took me a year to decide to do that because I was so scared,” she said. “I felt so uncomfortable. It’s hard to ask for money like that.” What eventually convinced her to try was a typical Debi Ruud solution. She started thinking of others. “I finally got to a place where I started to reverse it in my mind and thought, what if it was

someone else who started a Go Fund Me to make a record and asked me to donate. I would donate in a heartbeat and be glad to do it.”

It took eight months to raise the money, and one of the 1st contributors was long-time friend and Lost Souls bandmate, Ray Haney. “I contributed to Debi’s album for several reasons. I’ve helped dozens of regional artists with their projects. I know how hard it is to finish one. I’ve respected her voice for decades.”

He went on to describe what it’s like working with her: “She embodies the highest qualities of professionalism - talented, prepared, quick to learn, open and flexible with change and new ideas. And the icing on the cake is her honestly and sweetness as a person.”

The project was produced by Debi’s long-time friend and high school classmate, Phil Sillas, who had helped her produce her 1st album some 20 years ago. He was also a catalyst in getting this latest process started by telling her, “Deb, we have to do another album before we turn 60.”

Now a successful producer and songwriter based on the Central Coast, Sillas brought in a group of studio musicians from Nashville and Los Angles to perform on this album – which at first was a little disconcerting for Debi, “The only person I knew was my daughter who sang with me on one song,”

The final result of all this work and decision making is a very finely crafted and soft-spoken melodic tour through the ins and outs of love, seamlessly guided by Debi’s heartfelt renderings of the tunes she so carefully selected. *NOTE* The album is available for purchase on iTunes, Spotify and at the Fresno Music Academy & Arts: 1296 N. Wishon Ave. in Fresno’s Tower District

I Was Supposed to Interview...

KYLE EDWARDS

By Dave Fountinelle | davebh1975@gmail.com

“

I’m not sure I want an agent, you know?”

Kyle Edwards begins, taking a seat next to a paint-splotched table, cluttered with assorted tubes of acrylic paint and a bucket of pallet knives. The Clash is playing softly on a Bluetooth speaker, the sounds of traffic filtering into his second-floor studio from an open window, like smoke from someone’s cigarette on the sidewalk below. “It’s not something I’ve ever wanted really, necessarily. Because, you know, they take a chunk. And the galleries, they take a pretty big chunk too.”

“How big of a chunk do the galleries take?”

I ask.

“They usually start at around 30% and go up from there. That’s pretty standard for

the places I’ve shown at down in the LA area anyway.”

Kyle has just returned from showing some of his paintings at a gallery in Santa Monica.

Trips like these are becoming more and more common for the Central Valley artist. On this most recent venture, he met someone who took a great interest in his work and has offered to be his agent.

“She has a lot of money, somehow.” He explains, “But I mean if it’s legit, I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea. I’ll take whatever help I can get.”

Kyle Edwards grew up in Riverdale and graduated Riverdale High in 1992. Even back then, art was a big part of his life, | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

along with horror movies, basketball, and good music. He’s showing me a short series of paintings featuring different members of the LA Lakers. One of them features a rendition of James Worthy dunking over Larry Bird. Another shows Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in an iconic dunk pose. On the wall behind him hangs an image of Woody Harrelson as Mickey Knox from the film “Natural Born Killers.” Kyle’s interests are the inspiration for most of the paintings that decorate the walls and rest in stacks against the walls of his studio. His style is truly original, even though most of his paintings are renditions of iconic images – From the picture of Kareem’s dunk to Jimi Hendrix playing his Stra-

tocaster, to Christian Bale’s blood-spattered face and maniacal laugh from “American Psycho.” You’ve seen these pictures dozens of times, but never quite like this.

His strokes are dark, heavy. He uses pallet knives, not brushes, so the paint is thick, the colors explosive and vibrant, the images themselves distorted and abstract, like they’re being viewed through a kaleidoscope. Kyle’s pop culture paintings are slightly twisted and striking interpretations, and they’re finding their way into some pretty impressive places.

... ‘Kyle Edwards’ cont’d from pg 3 Recently, on his Instagram page, Kyle shared a pic from the Joe Rogan Podcast’s page. In it, Joe is posing for the camera, while a painting of Robert De Niro as “The Taxi Driver” hangs on the wall over his left shoulder. The painting, of a mohawked De Niro, staring at the camera, in bright red, yellow, and orange on black, is one of Kyle’s old favorites. It’s a painting he had been trying to sell for a while before getting the idea of gifting it to Rogan.

“I’m a big Joe Rogan fan,” he tells me.

“So, when he came to Fresno, I had tickets to see him, and I thought he’s an east coast guy, big ‘Taxi Driver’ fan, I’ll just give it to him. Who knows, maybe he’ll like it and give me a shout out? I headed over there a few hours before the show and talked to the head of security, and she was cool. So, I left it in his dressing room with a note and hoped for the best.”

After a few weeks of waiting and not knowing if Joe had ever even seen the painting, Kyle was pleasantly surprised to see it hanging on the wall of Rogan’s studio in one of his IG pics.

“I never got a shout out on his podcast,” Kyle said, “But obviously he got it, and it’s hanging up in his studio, and that’s pretty unbelievable.”

Kyle also recently gifted another of his paintings to a very well-known celebrity, Josh

Brolin. When Kyle found out that Brolin was a big fan of Sam Shepard, he sent him a watercolor painting he had done of the late actor and playwright. Kyle was able to contact Brolin’s wife a few weeks later, who thanked him for the art and informed him that it’s on display in their home and that she and Josh both love it.

Lately, Kyle has moved away from pop culture celebrity portraits and has been venturing into more abstract ideas. He painted a large series of surreal faces, and also showed me a sketch of a new idea he’s been working on, something that’s a huge departure from everything else he’s done.

That doesn’t mean he’s done with famous portraits for good, Kyle has a never say never attitude when it comes to potential subjects for his next painting.

Except, “Landscapes and family portraits, man. That’s why I don’t really do commissions.” Kyle tells me. “Everyone around here, they all want the same thing, ‘Can you do a landscape of my farm? Can you do a portrait of my horses? Can you do a portrait of my family?’ I mean, yeah, I could, but I mean, no. No, I don’t want to do a portrait of your damn cows.” Then he laughs, “But hey, that’s the Central Valley for ya.”

If you would like to check out Kyle Edwards’ paintings, he’s on Instagram @edsart44, and also has a Facebook page, Ed’s Art. All of his paintings are available for sale, but please, no landscape or livestock portrait commission requests.

DYER STRAITS

By Will Freeney | memo247365@gmail.com

E

ighteen years is a long time for a bad marriage – especially a pre-arranged one.

For the City of Fresno, that marriage is finally coming to an end. Unlike the world of marriage and divorce, in the world of city management, the matchmaker can arrange for the children to have a say in selecting their replacement stepfather. That process took place early in May, in five separate regional town hall meetings – one for each of the five policing districts (Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and Central).

City residents were invited to specify the qualities they were looking for in a replacement for Jerry Dyer, the Chief of Police for the last eighteen years – and to specify the ongoing issues in Fresno that they would like the new Chief of Police to correct or at least address.

There were four specific questions to be addressed, which were also available in an online survey, which remained open for participation until May 31st. Those questions

| JUNE 2019

| FRESNO FLYER |

were: 1. What are the challenges in the City that you would like the new Police Chief to address?

2. What issues facing the City should the new Police Chief be aware of and understand?

3. What qualities are most important to look for in the next Police Chief?

4. Is there anything else the City Manager should consider when selecting the next Police Chief?

Mayor Lee Brand arranged the town halls, and reminded each of the town hall meetings, in his introductory remarks, that it was the fulfillment of a promise he made during his campaign for mayor in 2016. He also selected facilitators for each of the meetings (presumedly intending to create

an assembly that represented the community culture of that district). Central District had Dr. Jackie Ryle, academic and consultant; Northeast had Larry Powell, former Superintendent of Fresno Unified School District; Northwest had Judge Robert Oliver, of Fresno County Superior Court; Southeast had Pao Vang, CEO of The Fresno Center, and Pastor Elias Loera; and Southwest had Reverends Binyon, Criner, and Lewis, of various local congregations. The meetings they created each had a different style, accordingly.

Attendees of the Central meeting were asked to step to a microphone, line up, and address each of the four questions posed as they saw fit. The Reverends divided their collective congregation of citizens into four small discussion groups and then reconvened for a report-out from each, addressing one question at a time. In the Southeast, Pao Vang did most of the supervision of discussion, while Pastor Loera provided his own responses to the questions as a starting point for discus-

sion. In the Northwest, Judge Oliver conducted the meeting more like a talk show (or maybe a jury trial), providing an extensive introduction regarding the office of the Chief of Police and the Police Department, and interrogating each of the citizens speaking, getting up close to them at the microphone.

Other anomalies included the attendance of City Manager, Wilma Quon, at only the Southeast and Northwest town halls, and the presence of the PD District Commander at the Southwest meeting, as well as Councilmember Arias.

Mayor Brand provided each of the town hall meetings with introductory remarks (except the Southeast meeting, where Mark Standiff, Fresno Director of Communication and Public Affairs, served as his proxy), which explained the history of Dyer’s tenure in brief and explained the purpose of

... ‘Dyer Straits’ cont’d from pg 4 the town hall meetings. That purpose was to acquire shareholder input on the future of Fresno, as it is shaped by the Police Chief and his department. That input will be forwarded to the headhunting firm the City has selected, which will perform a nationwide search to collect a list of appropriate candidates. Those candidates will then be interviewed by a hiring panel which will include citizen panelists. The hiring panel will cull a much shorter list, which will be reviewed by the City Manager, who will make the final decision as to who becomes the next Fresno Chief of Police.

Despite the disparate approaches, all five town halls brought forth similar responses.

A summary assessment of the town hall opinions could be that the participants often defined what they wanted as an absence or opposite of what they have suffered with for the last eighteen years.

One of the recurring issues mentioned was the amount of the total city budget that has been allocated to the Police Department – 80 percent was the figure repeatedly mentioned. There seemed to be a nearly universal sentiment that the citizens were not getting proportional (if any) service for that dollar amount and that that ratio was entirely inappropriate.

Several speakers suggested that a significant portion of that money would be better invested in social services. The woeful state of street maintenance was another area where it was felt those dollars could be better spent.

More and better parks were yet another.

The issue of parks brings up a personal issue regarding Dyer’s reign that citizens definitely do not want to see perpetuated by a new Police Chief – the politicization of the office and the use of the office as a bully pulpit for political intrusion. Dyer

vocally opposed the PARCS (Measure P) ballot measure which would have provided bond monies for the creation of new parks, recreation, and arts opportunities within the City. Brand abortively added an “alternative” measure to the ballot that would have funneled more money to the police and fire departments – then quickly withdrew it.

Most recently, Dyer spoke out against Assemblyman Arambula while he was awaiting trial on child abuse charges – of which he was acquitted.

The City’s implementation of an additional $40 “service fee” for the towing of parked vehicles was another recurring complaint. Although Dyer can’t be blamed for that legislation, he was accused of an aggressive enforcement policy, which was seen by those who mentioned it as a predatory behavior, victimizing those who are towed for infractions like expired tags (which are expired because they can’t afford the renewal) with an additional fee they can’t afford to pay – non-payment of which will result in further fines, not to mention the tow and storage fees.

Gang enforcement and gang enhancements were another issue of concern for several attendees, who called out the Police Department’s approach to gang presence in the City – complaining that the lives of their sons, nephews, grandsons were irrevocably altered for the worse by the department’s singling them out – arresting, prosecuting, and sentencing them in disproportionate numbers among the City’s people of color.

Almost every town hall mentioned the disservice that SROs (“School Resource Officers”) provide as armed police officers on the school grounds of every school in Fresno. There were complaints by students in those schools that they do little other than create an atmosphere of intimidation. Several adults in those meetings pointed out

One of the recurring issues mentioned was the amount of the total city budget that has been allocated to the Police Department – 80 percent.

| JUNE 2019

| FRESNO FLYER |

that that intimidation is not conducive to learning. A representative of Barrios Unidos explicitly stated that the SROs were contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline.

Disparate policing, based on geography and demographics, was a universal complaint. This story, as it includes the Fresno Police Department, could be called A Tale of Two Cities. The over-policed, aggressively policed of those two cities is known as South of Shaw. The other is known simply as North Fresno in aggregate. There, there were actually a few citizens who complained of not having enough police (despite a Police Department that siphons 80% of the City’s budget).

This is only one of several components of the profile provided by citizens as a clear indication that Jerry Dyer is, indeed, a racist. Judge Oliver, in his extensive preview of the force, revealed what looks like racism and sexism in the department’s hiring practices: 721 men and 92 women, 48.5% white officers, 38.9% Hispanic officers, only 5.8% Black officers, 5.8% Southeast Asian officers, and 2.4% Pacific Islander officers. On this topic, Pao Vang mentioned that the force had no Hmong interpreter and had to borrow one from the Fresno-Yosemite airport for a case of which he was aware.

It is incumbent on the people of Fresno to avail themselves of a replacement who is an improvement on the incumbent. The process beyond the town halls is only vaguely sketched out (see above) so far, and the whole process is to be completed by September, to put the new Police Chief in office before the old one retires in October. Toward that end, keep your eyes and ears on the news and keep the City Manager’s phone number (559-6217770) on speed dial – to assure that progress is made and determine the shape of that progress. Contact your City Councilmember if you can’t reach the City Manager. It will, no doubt, be a busy time for her office.

And as this article is being written, Lee Brand has opted out of a reelection bid, leaving the door open for Jerry Dyer, who has officially announced his bid for mayor as his next bastion.

THE VALLEY’S VINTAGE & ANTIQUE GUIDE PARABOLIC Art & Design

my design career, which has included furniture design and interior design, as well as the sensitive remodeling of mid-century modern houses to better suit the needs of 21st century clients.

What styles inspire you?

Q&A with Owner, Tony Fernandez Is parabolic gallery an art gallery or a furniture store? Or is it both?

I’m a modernist at heart. I always have been, and always will be. I’m inspired by the way the great modern architects, designers and artists looked at the world in fresh new ways that were not a rehash of traditional, historical styles. Their approach to design is still alive and lies at the heart of any progressive approach to improving the quality of life through design.

It’s a gallery for both art and design, and by design I mean furniture and household objects as well as purely decorative items or utilitarian objects that sense of style or merit to their design. I try to present these objects the same way I would display a sculpture or a Why choose the Tower District as the home framed watercolor still life.

DECADES: Farmhouse Style Home Decor “

Our grandparents were avid antique collectors and dealers. Our parents also love antiques - our childhood home was full of cool, old stuff! Childhood days were spent at swap meets and antique fairs. As children we would play ‘store’ selling each other our toys back and forth with Monopoly money wearing our mother’s antique purses. We would, literally, set up an entire store in our bedroom while one would be the shop keeper and the other would be the shopper.”

Owners (and sisters), Melissa Megerdigian-Steward and Amanda Megerdigian, took their childhood passion and turned it into Decades – a boutique in Clovis specializing in antiques. Starting small, the pair took to participating in local antique fairs, flea markets, and various pop-ups for three years before eventually opening their storefront just this past March.

Decades boasts a 2,500 square foot ‘shop’ that holds original vintage pieces and furniture that pairs with their new farmhouse style décor. The size of their establishment already separates the ‘boutique’ from the typical style of antique store most are used to seeing around town, but they also offer a new line of affordable fashion and accessories.

Among the furniture, décor, accessories, and items from the Rae Dunn collection are also porcelain signs, scales, and salvage. Melissa and Amanda bring in new items every week, which could easily fall outside of the above categories – their favorite, though? Anything old with ‘Fresno, California’ written on it – that, and advertising pieces or mercantile displays.

Somewhat unconventional, Decades is open only once a week – Saturdays from 9a to 2p. Each of the sisters still manages a career outside of the shop, and while that would be more than enough reason to limit their hours, it also helps build an ‘exclusive’ appeal. There’s usually a line outside the door before they open, folks hoping to get a sneak peek at any of the new items the sisters bring in. That being said, you won’t have to wait a whole week to get your hands on the merch, the sisters are happy to ship items during the week, only tagging on a $5 delivery charge for anything going out to Fresno or Clovis.

Decades is located in the Industrial park on Clovis and Shaw Ave behind Lowe’s at 1018 San Jose suite 102. Or visit them online at www.DecadesOfClovis.com to check out some of their items from home.

THE FANTASTIC GRIZZLY

ADOPTABLE PETS

Experience the Grizzly Fest

By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

T

his year’s Grizzly Fest in early May at Woodward Park in North Fresno was fantastic! The musical line-up was exciting and impressive, the food and drinks were delicious, and the overall vibe was just super relaxed and fun.

If you missed it, then you missed out (plain and simple!). I love the fact that I live in the same Central Valley town where, just right down the street, I am able to see world-class, amazing musical artists like Portugal, The Man performing live outside. That’s some good entertainment right there - what a show! And, it’s all thanks to the Grizzly efforts of Mr. Aren Hekimian the young Fresnan entrepreneur responsible for hosting such a great festival and bringing in the hottest musical talent from across the country (and here locally too) to the Central Valley stage for an incredible musical weekend to remember in Fresno.

I was so jazzed about the festival - I even got to see Ziggy Marley perform. I especially loved the name of his tour: “Rebellion Rises.”

Oh boy. Perfect name for a Fresno event, right?

The whole time I wondered what the dozen or so relaxed Fresno cops walking in and around the Fest were thinking when they saw and heard a black man in dreads jumping around singing on stage about “Rebellion.” The Fest was so orderly and peaceful, the last thing we’d need in Fresno is a rampant rumor about a “Rebellious” Grizzly performer stirring up trouble. Ziggy’s performance was a musical “Love Rebellion,” if you will. And as he sang, I resonated with his words,

“Kiss of death denying us the tree of life…” as I recall the recent and ongoing struggle to legitimize and legalize cannabis as a medicine and as a recreational drug in California, especially here in Fresno.

But there’s always a struggle for something good here in Fresno, and especially when it’s good. And Grizzly Fest has been no exception. I remember all the fuss that Fresno Councilmember Garry Bredefeld, representative for Northeast Fresno, made about the festival while in the planning stages - how noisy and unruly it would be - and why it shouldn’t take place at Woodward Park (which happens to be the best place in the Central Valley to host such an event). And so, I attended the Fest with these objections in mind. I wanted to see if there was any merit to the claims that Grizzly Fest would be Northeast Fresno’s bane of existence for one weekend out of the year, as suggested by Councilmember Bredefeld. And so, let me tell you: there was absolutely no noise problem at all. Seriously. In fact, I really couldn’t even hear the performers from where I parked my car inside the park. And, really, I don’t think anyone outside of Woodward Park could even tell that people were jamming out to incredible live music inside the park. Mr. Hekimian and his staff ensured that the festival’s music volume was set just at the right level, and his team did an excellent job. All music was completely unplugged before 10pm. There was absolutely no noise problem at all at the Fest. The event was as smooth as

butter. So, I’m curious what Councilmember Bredefeld will think of next to try to derail the next Grizzly Fest. Hmm…

For two eventful days, everyone at Grizzly Fest had a great time. I know I especially did as I stuffed my face with every kind of tasty food I could get my hands on while bumping my head to the melodic beat of the lively music under the beautiful sky. It was so good - I even splurged and tried some vegan food (which I usually don’t do) - but probably my favorite was the tasty ole’ simple popcorn treats from Grandpa’s Popcorn & Sweets. Can you say cheddar cheese! I’m sorry, I’m such a foody, and so when I started trying out all of the different types of foods being offered, I was in heaven, all while listening to and watching some great live performances and sipping on my beer - uh, yeah…it really doesn’t get any better than this. Typically, you have to travel outside of Fresno for a festival like this with headliners like that - but, thanks to Mr. Hekimian and his team, we can enjoy first-class music festival entertainment right here in our backyard.

Thank you, Aren, for your Grizzly efforts in putting Fresno on the entertainment map of California and for making Grizzly Fest fantastic and fantastically Fresno! Thank you for giving us your best and for making your Grizzly city proud! *See every City Council Meeting at https:// CMAC.tv/gov and let’s get involved!

R

esearch has confirmed that exposing a child to music at an early age promotes learning and the development of social skills on a variety of levels. The question then for a parent is not so much why to get a child music lessons, as much as it is where to take them? According to the latest California Parent Magazine Reader’s Poll, that place is the Fresno Music Academy and Arts, whom they’ve named the “The Best Place for Music Lessons in Fresno County” for the 3rd consecutive year.

Owner John Alden says of the recognition, “We have worked hard to provide a place for anyone who wants to learn music by building this incredible music school in Fresno. We are a creative center that draws people from all over the valley. We help people to realize their musical dreams, to become the musicians they want to be.”

Located at 1298 N. Wishon Ave. in Fresno’s Tower District, FMAA (formerly known as The Voice Shop) offers lessons to children and adults in voice, piano, violin, drums,

flute, guitar, bass, ukulele, and more. Owing to this wide range in ages, it’s not unusual to find a 60-something chatting with a pre-teen about musical instruments in the lobby. Offerings also include an early childhood music program, Music Fun Time, for ages 2-7.

Operated by the creative husband/ wife team of Debi Ruud and John Alden, the idea of creating a music academy began some 20 years ago in Debi’s living room as a means to generate extra income for her family. “Seemingly overnight, my house was filled with more students than my living room could handle,” says Debi. “I realized that I needed a place in the community where I could accommodate the growing need for music instruction. Now 20 years later, we are delivering lessons to over 400 students a week.”

Today the school boasts 22 of Fresno’s finest musicians providing lessons Monday -Saturday in 12 teaching rooms. FMAA is in turn connected to The VISTA Theater (Voice Shop Theater Arts), a 75-seat performance venue ful| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

ly-equipped to handle student recitals, showcases, plays, workshops, and for the last six years has been home to Fresno’s only Rock n’ Roll choir, “Hearts On Fire.” The ViSTA also serves as the main stage venue for the Rogue Festival and Reel Pride.

Debi reflects, “When I started this school 20 years ago, I never dreamed that so many people wanted to learn music, wanted to have music in their lives beyond listening to the radio. Today, I have no doubts. Every day that I walk down our halls with the music coming from every room, I am overcome with gratitude for what’s happening here at FMAA.

The long-term goal of Fresno Music Academy and Arts is to potentially add a second location as they continue to teach children of all ages the many benefits of learning music. “It’s not just about making good musicians,” Debi says. “it’s about making good humans.”
