Jim Musser

Pierre Bensusan CSPS Hall, 1103 Third St. S.E., Cedar Rapids 7 p.m. today, $16 ADV/$19 door Born on coastal Mediterranean Oran, Algeria, and raised in Paris, 56-year-old fingerstyle guitarist and bilingual singer/songwriter has been an international concert star since the mid-’70s. His exotic heritage and tireless exploration of global folk, dance, classical, gypsy and pop music styles put him at the vanguard of world music and — for better and worse — New Age romanticism. Fans of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke, et al should find themselves enchanted.

Jocelyn Blue Moose Tap House, 211 Iowa Ave. 6:30 p.m. Saturday, $10 cover, all ages Fronted by charismatic singer/songwriter Landon Boyer, this Iowa City-based pop-rock quartet flaunts pro-style chops (avec beaucoup driving, crunchy power chords), buoyant melodies and, uh, chutzpah. Polished (but scads of bands have done what they do for 30-some years), the winsome charm of “Fooled You Once, Shame On Me” should buy them at least a hand on the brass ring. Openers are “You’re Too Kind” and “The Easy Mark.”

The Mill, 120 E. Burlington St. 7 p.m. Sunday, $15 cover, all ages Two of the area’s most exhilarating rock bands comprise University of Iowa Music School alums and profs rehashing the ‘70s: The Beaker Brothers explore high-end classic rock’s guitar heroics underpinned by polyrhythmic voodoo, while The Fez salute Steely Dan’s peculiar/unique genius of pouring snarky, wisenheimer prep-nerd visions over a deftly-collated blend of art-rock attitude and knowing jazz check-offs, from Armstrong to Ellington to Horace Silver. Next, could they all take on Roxy Music (’70s hardcore stuff, not just the wussy “Avalon”)?

BRICK MANSIONS (PG-13) An undercover Detroit cop navigates a dangerous neighborhood that’s surrounded by a containment wall. Sycamore 12: 10:30 a.m., 12:45, 3, 5:15, 7:35, 9:50 and 12:05 a.m. Friday and Saturday; 10:30 a.m., 12:45, 3, 5:15, 7:35 and 9:50 p.m. Sunday.

The Englert Theatre, 221 E. Washington St. 8 p.m. Tuesday, $25 general admission Well-picked pairing for the long-running “Intimate at the Englert” Series, where the audience (up to 100) sits on the stage, surrounding the performers. Said to be “equal parts songwriter and psychotherapist” (the latter one of the most disturbingly Freudian words in the English language), Fitzsimmons digs deep inside for stark, visceral insights in his darkly beautiful chamber-folk music. Pan-genre cellist/singer-songwriter Ben Sollee opens with selections from his four eclectic albums.

“West Side Story” Paramount Theatre, 123 Third Ave NE, Cedar Rapids 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, tix $53 to $73 Although almost ridiculously artificial, this stunning tour-de-force of post-World War II Americana flings “Romeo and Juliet” onto backlit late-night playground gang wars — switchblades are dancing is love/hate. To-die-for melodies by Bernstein and Sondheim (“Tonight,” “Maria,” “America,” “Something’s Coming,” “Somewhere,” etc.), Arthur Laurent’s great libretto and dazzling choreography truly rock it, but it ain’t rock. Still, this unforgettable showcase’s urban-fantasy shadow has cloaked Springsteen, Michael Jackson and so many more since.

Shuva Rahim

Why you should know her: Shuva Rahim, 37, of Iowa City, is a documentary lifestyle photographer and entrepreneur who started Accent Photographics. Born in Bangladesh, Rahim was raised in Davenport. She graduated in 1998 with a journalism degree from Iowa State University and worked as a reporter newspapers including Cox Newspapers in Springfield, Ohio, the Kansas City Star and the Iowa City Press-Citizen. Rahim then traveled to Suriname in South America with Peace Corps. With a digital camera her father gave, Rahim found a passion for capturing people and places she visited. Rahim enrolled in the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine, and after graduating in 2006, Rahim returned to Iowa to specialize in lifestyle photography. Rahim sets herself apart with unique shoot packages, including CreativeGirl, where she interviews and shoots an unposed session with a girl age 8 to 14 to create a personalized journal and sketchbook. Lifestyle photography is: For me, it’s about capturing people in their natural environment, or in a favorite outdoor environment in a way that reflects who they are. I try not to pose them as much as possible. I want them to be who they are. My journalistic training helps me today because: Before I photograph them, I ask a lot of questions. Even before I have my camera to them, I want to know who they are and why I should care about them. Eventually they’ll come to trust me, and if I know that I can establish a connection, it’s going to be easier for me to create a photo that accurately represents who they are, versus shooting a photo of someone with a fake smile. That doesn’t mean anything. The biggest lesson I’ve learned as an entrepreneur is: Just that there’s going to be a lot of challenges, but it’s going to be worth it. That’s such a vague thing. As I’m saying it, it sounds so vague and cliche, but it’s challenging and it’s fun, and you have to be crazy to do this. You have to know how to work without a routine and be OK with that. One piece of advice I would give to someone gunning for my job is: To find out what you’re passionate about and make it your own instead of doing whatever everyone else is doing. I think I was the same way when I started. I wanted to shoot like everybody else does, but once you do that you think about, “How I can step it up a notch or rework it or tweak it,” and I think I’ve been doing that consistently for the last few years.

First Avenue Wine House 3412 First Ave., Cedar Rapids Info: 298-9463 First Avenue Wine House co-owner Traci Weber said her store carries more than 800 wines, most of which are in the $20 range. Weber said while her higher-end wines can cost up to $150 a bottle, those generally are purchased as gifts or to round out an expensive collection. But for customers looking for a nice bottle to bring to a dinner party, Weber recommends a Viognier ($10.99 to $24.99), a white wine made from the principle white grape variety in northern Rhone. “I love suggesting it because I think it’s a great food wine. It’s usually a white wine that red lovers enjoy, and it’s something that’s a little different and out of the box from what most people know,” she said. While she recommends pairing it with cheeses or seafood, she offered a piece of sage advice: “Drink what you like with what you like to eat.”

Pricier Wines

Whether you’re a wine expert or you tug at your collar while standing in front of ominous-looking shelves, eyes darting between labels of various styles and varietals and languages, it helps to have a few recommendations. For the next two weeks, Taste will look at suggestions of mid- to high-priced and budget wines from a local winery, shop and distributor. This week, we tackle some of the best wines in the $20 to $35 per bottle range. — Aly Brown

Best Case Wines Local grocery stores and restaurants Info: www.bestcasewines.com As a wine distributor for local businesses — including Brix Cheese Shop & Wine Bar and John’s Grocery — Robert Morey’s job is to find the best wines for the best value. Morey recommends Pierre Amadieu Gigondas Pas de l’Aigle, or The Eagle’s Pass, sourced from the highest-elevation vineyards near the French village of Gigondas. “Mostly Grenache with a bit of Syrah, it offers flavors of raspberry liqueur, lavender, and exotic spices,” he said. “A big wine, rather high in alcohol — as Rhône Valley reds tend to be — but impeccably balanced.” Looking for a white? Morey suggests Charles Baur Riesling Grand Cru “Brand,” calling it a “world-class” Riesling with notes of “apricot, grapefruit, and white flowers.” Winemaker Baur will co-host a four-course spring dinner featuring the Riesling at 6 p.m. Saturday at Salt Fork Kitchen in Solon.

Cedar Ridge Vineyards, Winery and Distillery

☞

1441 Marak Road, Swisher Info: 319-857-4300 Jamie Siefken, general manager at Cedar Ridge Vineyards, Winery and Distillery, said the winery has an unusually broad portfolio consisting of 22 wines. One of its top sellers is the Reserve Red ($20 a bottle), a 2011 Mid-American Wine Competition Gold Medal Winner. Siefken said the wine is made from a blend of estate-grown St. Croix and Cabernet and Merlot grapes imported each fall from California. “We’re going for the traditional heavy-bodied red,” Siefken said. “What really makes it special, in my opinion, is that balance of St. Croix, which has higher acidity and less tannins.” Siefken said Reserve Red is best enjoyed alongside grilled meats, lamb or main courses featuring strong flavors.

‘OUT OF BOUNDS’ NEW PLAY ADDS ADULT DIMENSION TO STORIES OF BULLYING, CYBERBULLYING

hen we read about bullying, more often than not we encounter stories from the child’s perspective. But what about adults? Working Group Theatre playwright Jennifer Fawcett tackled the growing issue of bullying and cyberbulling among kids in the first version of her play, “Out of Bounds,” in conjunction with the University of Iowa College of Public Health, Hancher and the Iowa City Community School District. The play premiered last fall at all three district junior high schools. “In each school, the response we were getting from kids and also teachers and principals was that it felt really real,” Fawcett said. “It felt really realistic to their experience of bullying and cyberbullying.” A second version of the play tackling the adult experience will premiere at 7:30 p.m. today at Riverside Theatre. A talkback on things parents should know if their child is bullied will follow. Fawcett said bullying is a “real public health issue,” that can lead to lasting effects on mental health, which can make it hard to hold down a job and form relationships. According to StopBullying.gov, 28

percent of U.S. students in grades six through 12 experience bullying, 6 percent experience cyberbullying, and 70.6 percent have seen bullying in their schools. While only 20 percent to 30 percent of bullied students notify an adult, StopBullying.gov reports that 70.4 percent of school staff have seen bullying — the majority witnessing attacks two or more times in the last month at the time of the survey. Fawcett said she interviewed children, parents, teachers, principals and school staff throughout the community last year for her source material. While she translated stories from youth into the first version, she still had a wealth of stories that spoke of a “powerlessness among adults.” “I was really interested in looking at the story of the adults because there is a lot of frustration between parents and teachers and principals, the schools are like, ‘How much more work can we do with big classes and big schools?’ ” she said. “It’s hard to give more attention to each individual student.” Fawcett said while there has always been bullying among students, it’s different and worse today with the explosion of social media. “When I was a kid, if I went home on a Friday afternoon, I knew I wasn’t going to see those people until Monday morning,” she said. “There was a break. There is no break now.” The new version of “Out of Bounds”

will feature a fictional story following a mother and daughter through a difficult school year. Other stories taken from interviews will be woven in through shadow puppetry and graphic illustrations projected on the wall. Shadow puppeteer Buffy Quintero said she is attempting to “express the inner psyche of those affected by bullying” through a metaphor of a child facing a scary monster. “We are attempting to make all the inner turmoil visible in a very simple way even though we are dealing with a very complex issue,” she said. “The shadow puppet monster is very simply constructed in a way a child might make a puppet, but we hope the terror it expresses on the screen will be real and honest to the audience. “ Quintero said she hopes the show, which she sees as a work in progress, will start an “ongoing dialogue.” The show will conclude with a performance of an original song by Katie Roche of the Awful Purdies, from a choir made up of kids and adults who have encountered bullying. Roche said her song takes an unusually compassionate look at aggressors, because behind each bully is another bully. “There’s really no bad guy in this scenario,” she said. “I think there is always a place for understanding. ... I don’t think there is a bully in the world who they themselves haven’t been bullied.”

If you go When: 7:30 p.m. today through Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday. Where: Riverside Theatre, 213 N. Gilbert St. What: “Out of Bounds,” the second version of a Hancher-commissioned play woven from local interviews with students, adults, teachers, principals and school administrators.

Harper Lee agrees to e-book version of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ By Hillel Italie AP National Writer

NEW YORK — Harper Lee has signed on for Scout, Boo Radley and Atticus Finch to enter the electronic age. Filling one of the biggest gaps in the e-library, “To Kill a Mockingbird” will become available as an e-book and digital audiobook on July 8, HarperCollins Publishers announced Monday. Lee, in a rare public statement, cited a “new generation” of fans in agreeing to the downloadable editions of her Pulitzer Prize-winning classic. “I’m still old-fashioned. I love dusty old books and libraries,” Lee, Harper Lee who turned 88 on Monday, said through her publisher. “I am amazed and humbled that ‘Mockingbird’ has survived this long. This is ‘Mockingbird’ for a new generation.” Monday’s announcement came almost exactly a

year after Lee sued her former literary agent, Samuel Pinkus, in order to regain rights to her novel. Lee, who lives in her native Alabama and has been in frail condition, had alleged she was “duped” into signing over the copyright. The lawsuit was settled in September. Lee’s attorney, Gloria Phares, said at the time that the case had been resolved to the author’s satisfaction, with “her copyright secured to her.” With digital holdouts from J.K. Rowling to Ray Bradbury changing their minds over the past few years, Lee and her novel had ranked with J.D. Salinger and his “The Catcher In the Rye” as a missing prize for e-book fans. First published in July 1960, “Mockingbird” has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and still sells more than 1 million copies a year, according to HarperCollins. It was adapted into a 1962 movie of the same name that featured an Oscar-winning performance by Gregory Peck as Finch, the courageous Alabama attorney who defends a black man against charges that he raped a white woman. “Mockingbird” remains a standard text in classrooms and is a popular choice for citywide and national reading programs. Lee never published another book, which only seemed to add to the novel’s appeal, and she has for decades resisted interviews and public appearances. “Every home has a dog-eared copy of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ and now readers will be able to add this favorite book to their digital libraries,” Michael Morrison, president and publisher of HarperCollins U.S. General Books Group and Canada, said in a statement. “Although today is Nelle Harper Lee’s birthday, she is giving readers around the world the gift of being able to read or listen to this extraordinary story in all formats.” The new audiobook will be a downloadable edition of the existing CD narrated by Sissy Spacek. Harper also is releasing an “enhanced” e-book that will feature additional material. Spokeswoman Tina Andreadis said the extra features had not yet been determined. With “Mockingbird” now set for e-release, major works still unavailable in digital editions include “The Catcher In the Rye,” ‘’The Autobiography of Malcolm X” and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude.”
