Benefit for blues musician

The Green Door Blues Bar & Grill hosts a special fundraiser Sunday for beloved Lansing-based musician Ray Aleshire, who is the vocalist, harp player and frontman of blues band Those Delta Rhythm Kings. In January, after a Friday night show, Aleshire was admitted to Ingham Regional Medical Center for emergency surgery. Although there were complications during the surgery, he pulled through. He’s been recovering at home for the past six weeks, unable to talk well, sing or go to work. At this point, his paid sick leave has run out, and expenses are mounting. Locals are showing their support with this Green Door benefit show, which offers eight hours of live entertainment for $10. Also, the venue will host a silent auction, merchandise auctions and raffles throughout the day. The lineup includes some of Lansing’s biggest names in blues. • Benefit for “Cool” Ray Aleshire featuring live music from Those Delta Rhythm Kings, Steppin’ In It, Root Doctor, Big Willy, Frog and the Beeftones, Zydecrunch, Andy Wilson’s Harmonica Showcase and Frog’s “All-Star” Jam and Bad Gravy, silent auction, more • Doors 2 p.m. Sunday, April 3 • The Green Door Blues Bar and Grill, 1005 E.

Newest album debuted at No. 2 in Feb. Anne Erickson | NOISE

When the guys of hard rock band RED set out to record their album, “Until We Have Faces,” they had little idea what to expect. All they knew was that they wanted to record something stronger than their last release, “Innocence and Instinct.” That wasn’t easy. Especially since the Nashville-based band topped the charts with “Innocence,” and scored a Grammy nomination for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album. Still, they delivered. “Faces” dropped in February, and the collection of catchy, melodic hard rock tunes entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 2 — the band’s highest showing yet. RED is currently on the Winter Jam Tour, which reaches the EMU Convocation Center in Ypsilanti Thursday, March 31. Guitarist Anthony Armstrong checked in with NOISE to talk about the new release, RED’s modest beginnings and what it’s like touring in a rock band with his brother. NOISE: You’re in RED with your brother Randy. How does that work? Armstrong: It’s amazing.

Randy and I have always gotten along, and I think the guys like the dynamic, because there are two of us and we’re very like-minded. Randy and I take the reigns with RED, and we have our little brother quarrels, but the guys think it’s hilarious. NOISE: Tell us about the early days of RED. Armstrong: It started when we were 17 or 18 years old. We were doing a lot of cover songs, just catching our breath being musicians. Playing other people’s stuff helped us to make the transition into writing originals. All of us are college graduates — Randy and I went to Penn State and Jason went to West Virginia — but we would stay connected the best we could and get together every summer to work on writing. It didn’t really start to get crazy until we moved to Nashville after college. We all moved to an apartment together and started writing songs. NOISE: What is the theme of your new album, “Until We Have Faces?” Armstrong: I think our core audience is anywhere from 12 to 30 years old, and in that group of people, there are a lot of kids struggling to ﬁnd themselves and what they’re supposed to be doing with this life. A lot of them develop these worldly views, and they might watch TV shows and think, “I need to be like this,” and they’re im-

pressionable. They’re bombarded by the world, and they don’t know any better and end up adopting all these ideals and turning into a person they don’t want to be. I think we can see that. We’re seasoned in a lot of ways. We’re all married; we’re all grown men; we’ve all gone through the ringer. These kids are turning into monsters they never wanted to be, and this record is an anthem for those kids. NOISE: You’ve toured with everyone from Seether to Papa Roach. Any favorites? Armstrong: You know — we’ve had a whirlwind career from the beginning. You actually named some of our favorites: Seether are awesome dudes and fun to tour with, and they make awesome music. Skillet is great. Papa Roach. Jacoby (Shaddix, Papa Roach lead singer) and those guys from the start were really cool to us on all of our tours. We love the show they put on and the guys they are in general.

‘SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR’

Now on Thursdays MAR. 31 – APRIL. 06

Dan Miller has started several business ventures. He currently serves as executive vice president for business strategy at INgage Networks and is managing director of BizTank.

What are the mistakes you’ve learned from that helped your businesses grow? I don’t know that there is any one particular failure, but I think that as an entrepreneur you’ve got to realize you may have a vision for a business, but what I have found is that you really don’t know how this thing will evolve and what the end result will be until you get into it. You can look at decisions you make early on and unless you are willing and open to making mistakes along the way, you’ll be so stressed out as an entrepreneur. That’s why it takes a certain type of person to run their own business. Most people thrive on structure and need structure that is provided by a management team. For an entrepreneur, there is no structure, you are creating as you go. There isn’t a magic bullet. I can tell you in every one of our businesses ... we make mistakes all the time.

START-UP TOSS-UP Entrepreneur lessons for all ends of the spectrum

What should people know about the entrepreneurial lifestyle? Especially given the state of technology, and the level of connectedness, it’s not a 9-to-5 job. I’m on almost all the time. One of the things I’ve come to understand is if you want to be doing this, you’re not doing it for the money, you’re doing it for the passion. If you do that well, then the money will come hopefully later ... There is a lot of work that goes on in the build-up.

When is it the right time for someone to start a business? I don’t think there’s any one path (that) is better than the other. You know when you’re ready. If you think it’s something you want to do, surround yourself with other entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are very passionate and that passion is contagious. What book can you recommend to someone interested in starting a business? “The E-Myth” by Michael Gerber. Most businesses are started by technicians, and they fail because the technicians initially knew how to do something and were inspired to start the business without the knowledge of how to run a successful business. What questions should you ask before you take the plunge as an entrepreneur? • Why is it that you’re on this path? • Can you identify a market need and identify the solution? Do you really know the market you are going after? • What’s your ability to leave a comfortable job? • Who are the people you are going to surround yourself with? • Are you a team player? Now that you are in a position to act as an investor or sounding board for entrepreneurs, what do you look for in a pitch: • Understanding of the size of the market • A person and management team that is credible and ethical • A culture in the organization that fits with my values • A clear vision for the future of the business • How much money is needed

egan Gebhart gives several caffeinated encounters credit for inspiring her “coffee with strangers” project, not the least of which was a cup she shared in an airport with a woman from her hometown in Wyoming she met after a flight was canceled. It was a small town, and the woman began sharing stories of Gebhart’s grandmother. “It was so strange because I’m very close with my grandmother ... and I was finding out things about her that I had never known,” Gebhart said. “I never stopped to think about what (she) was like before (she) was my grandmother, what she was like 20 or 30 or 40 years ago.” Gebhart, an MSU senior, got her first taste for writing after starting MSU Catalyst, a site that featured up-andcoming Spartans. As an active member of the student entrepreneurship movement at MSU, Gebhart wondered what she could learn from having coffee with a stranger once a week for one year. She started a

Tricia Bobeda | NOISE

blog, 52 Cups, and set out arranging coffee meetings. Gebhart is now more than halfway done with her experiment. She’s had coffee with people ranging from ages 6 to 60 (the 6-year-old opted for a soda instead of coffee). The other cup of coffee Gebhart credits for inspiring her project was the one that started her friendship with MSU graduate and entrepreneur Brett Kopf. “We look to each other for inspiration and feedback,” Kopf said. “She’s too humble to admit it but she’s going to ﬂourish. I think she’s really explored who she is as a person and her capabilities (through this project). I told her I think someone should be paying her to do this.” Travel was a theme that many of the coffee dates stressed. Cup after cup told Gebhart she should travel while she was young. As a result, after she graduates from MSU in May, she’s packing her bags and spending the summer in Europe. “The project gave me the conﬁdence that if I took some time off, it would be OK,” Gebhart said. “(That) I could take six months and then jump into the job search.” Earlier this month, Gebhart took the stage at Ignite Lansing and shared some of the other lessons she’s learned from the 52 Cups project with the crowd.

NOISE: You’ve said you don’t like the term networking. Why not? Gebhart: “I hate the term networking, but really there is a great power in reaching out to people. When I think of people networking, I think of people going to mixers with a stack of business cards and just handing them out left and right. I love connecting with people and making genuine relationships. It’s just sitting down and having coffee with someone.”

NOISE: What do you talk about over coffee? Gebhart: “Most of the time, whoever is introducing us, they say ‘I want you to meet my friend because...’ so I have a little bit of background but it really is just a conversation. It usually starts with small talk. A question that I tend to ask is ‘how did you get to where you are?’ If you have this broad question it seems like they launch into a story and it always amazes me how willing people are to open up and share. I easily go off on tangents. I don’t think

STARTUP WEEKEND LANSING Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event that will be held for the second time in East Lansing on April 8. It starts on a Friday night. Everyone has 90 seconds to pitch an idea to the roomful of designers, developers and business-savvy students who gather at the event. Teams form around the winning pitches and the groups spend the weekend taking the first steps to make the ideas a reality. “These people are launching prototypes, coding websites, creating marketing materials, social media presence, logos, apps all kinds of stuff,” said event organizer Eric Jorgenson. “It’s really amazing how much output comes out of a weekend of solid work.” The first Startup Weekend in Lansing was in November. Jorgenson was inspired to bring the

NOISE: What have you learned so far from your conversations? Gebhart: “Two big lessons — one about how to live your life and one about how to treat others. I learned very quickly, if I could boil down the first 12 cups, that the key to life is authenticity. There’s two elements to that. One is that you have to figure out who you are and what you want to be. I’ve learned that there is no right path. You grow up thinking that it’s very linear because the first 18 years of your life, people tell you what to do. If you do X, Y and Z, you go to first grade. If you do X, Y and Z you graduate. Then you get into college and if you do everything they tell you, you get a job and your career is set. And that’s kind of a big lie. There is no right way to live life. You get to decide. The second hurdle is once you decide to live this authentic life and follow your passion, there are all these obstacles. Curveballs come your way (and) you have to be willing to work hard.” NOISE: Do you think you could you have learned these lessons in a class?

event to Lansing after taking part in a Startup Weekend in Detroit. “I learned more in 54 hours than I did all semester in all of my classes combined,” he said. “As soon as I walked out the door I was working on bringing it here.” Throughout the event, mentors offer guidance, speakers interrupt the work for inspiration breaks and by Sunday afternoon, each team has five minutes to pitch its business idea. The winner gets a package of support services for its budding business. Startup Weekends are held worldwide to help foster entrepreneurship. There’s no age or experience requirement to join the event. At the first Lansing event, the participants ranged from a college fresh-

NOISE: You did one cup via Skype. Will you do more virtual cups? Gebhart: “I don’t think I’m going to do virtual cups anymore just because that element of sharing the space with a person makes a huge difference. I really want to meet these people in person.” NOISE: Which cup did you learn the most from? Gebhart: “Cup 22 was really the turning point. I had been learning this throughout the project, but (during) Cup 22 it hit home. I talked to this 6-yearold who is a Native American who is adopted. My hometown doesn’t have a lot of diversity. People take one look at her and they make these assumptions. They don’t take the time to get to know her as a person. She has this beautiful culture and history and life story that nobody ever gets to know because they make these snap judgments. We all do it to anyone that we run into. Life is hard for everybody, and a little kindness goes a long way. I think sitting down with 28 different people, I’ve been able to see that ﬁrst hand. Everyone is struggling, everyone is trying to ﬁgure it out. Everyone has insecurities or challenges. Being compassionate toward others goes a long way. ”

man to a former Amazon developer and 15-year veteran of the industry. “It brings a lot of people out of the woodwork,” Jorgenson said. “When you’re in a 54-hour pressure cooker, a time crunch with a lot of expectations, you really get to know people really fast. It forms friendships and connections. It’s the best form of co-founder dating that we’ve discovered. There have been a lot of great relationships that come out of there, whether companies do or not.” For more information about the event, including how to sign up, go to lansing.startupweekend.org.

REO EATS PROJECT STALLED

Not all entrepreneurial ventures go according to plan. An attempt to turn the former Dalmatian’s Firehouse Grill in Lansing’s REO Town into a diner created to match the tastes of the community via social media input has stalled. The goal was to have the diner open for business 90 days from its kickoff in October. “We haven’t given up hope, we’re just kind of stuck in neutral at the moment, unfortunately,” said Josh Hovey, one of the project’s team members. “As long as the building continues to be unoccupied and is not put to use, we’ll be trying to put it to use with a food option in the REO Town area.” The project needs someone who can own and operate the restaurant or be an investor in it and help find a chef. “We’re still looking for funders, but we’ve met with a lot of great people and a lot of people have come out of the woodwork and wanted to be a part of it,” Hovey said. “It’s taken a lot longer than we had hoped but we knew we put together an ambitious timeline from the start.” Hovey said he has learned some valuable lessons from the experience so far. “Pulling together a solid plan from the start and putting good people around you is always key,” Hovey said. “I think one thing we are really fortunate to have is really bright team of people who are passionate about REO Town and about the project. “Matching that passion with an entrepreneurial activity I think is really important. Having a good relationship with your partners is (too). We’re all friends on the side and have been able to leverage our friendships. We don’t just hang out and watch movies together. When we hang out together, we try to do something good for the community.”

NOISE: Has the project made you more inquisitive in conversations with people you already know? Gebhart: “I think in my conversations I try to go deeper. I’m not like a psychologist, but I do have more meaningful conversations with everybody now.”

Gebhart: “You only learn it by interacting with people. It isn’t something I would have picked up in business school or in any of my classes. I’ve probably learned more in 28 weeks than all four years of college. There are weeks when I have way too much on my plate, but this is what I’m most excited about. This takes ﬁrst priority.”

Now on Thursdays MAR. 31 – APRIL. 06

NOISE: How did that cup come about? Gebhart: “That came completely out of the blue because I was at an event and I ran into Cup 9, Dr. (William) Ward. We just started talking about careers and jobs, and he knows I’m graduating and I mentioned something about Nike and he said ‘my friend is a VP at Nike, I’ll introduce you.’ ”

there’s a lot of rhyme or reason to any of the cups. It goes where it goes.”

| lansingnoise.com

NOISE: Where did the idea for this project come from? Gebhart: “My sophomore year...I went into a coffee meeting not expecting anything and came out of the meeting with an incredible friend. One of those friends that comes along and really changes the direction your life is going. It got me wondering what would happen if I started to meet more people. Because I’m from Wyoming and I didn’t know anyone here, it was a really great opportunity for me to meet more people. I’m a business major, and people talk about networking and ﬁnding mentors.”

NOISE: How do you decide who to have coffee with? Gebhart: “To this point, they’ve all been friends of friends with the exception of Cup 27 who contacted me. It’s been fun to step back and realize everybody has such an interesting story if you’re willing to sit down and hear the story. I am 28 cups in. Cup 2 and three happened in Wyoming and those were recommendations from my aunt and mom. Cup three was the recovering alcoholic who may or may not be homeless. Cup 19 was the VP of digital sports at Nike.”

ECO-FRIENDLY MASKS AND LEMON SCRUB

One beauty products, known for their eco-friendly packaging and products, has just released two new products: a sugar scrub in Sun Drenched Lemon and two kinds of facial masks. I found the lemon sugar scrub ($9.99) was refreshing with its lemon scent and fine-grain scrub, which worked everywhere, from face to arms to feet. But I was most excited about the facial paper masks ($1.99 each), as they were unlike any product I’d seen before. It wasn’t just a pouch filled with gel or clay or cream. The pouch was filled with a clothlike mask that’s oozing with the gel cooling or hydrating formula. Find One products at Target or Target.com. — Kim Ossi, MCT News Service

Staind frontman performing solo Anne Erickson | NOISE

Aaron Lewis would be lost without music. “I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have music as a way of getting things off my chest and expressing feelings and thoughts that I’m not necessarily very good at in day-to-day life,” he said via cell phone from the road. With that passion and heart, it’s no wonder Lewis not only fronts one of postgrunge rock’s biggest bands, Staind, but also tours incessantly as a solo performer. It’s also no surprise that Lewis, with his painsoaked vocals, is one of the most recognizable voices in 1990s/’00s alternative rock. Lewis brings his solo, acoustic tour to FireKeepers Casino on Friday. This is the eighth year Lewis has toured the country solo, with only his Gibson Les Paul in hand. Even so, he promises Staind is far from over. “The business model of Staind hasn’t changed at all, and we’re not going anywhere,” Lewis said. “These solo shows are something I’ve just been doing year after year, but I hadn’t released

an actual album of solo material until now.” That album is 2011’s, “Town Line,” which sees Lewis going from Kurt Cobain-inspired grunge to Willie Nelson-like country, complete with collaborations with George Jones, Charlie Daniels and Chris Young. When it came to this solo album, going country was an obvious fit. “When you’re writing a song, if you put a piece of yourself in that song, it’s not as hard to recall on those emotions that created the song in the first place,” he said. “With that being said, it’s definitely easier to play songs over and over again and still deliver them with the same passion as the day they were recorded.”

BY ROBERT REMINGTON & SHERRI ZICKFOOSE

Du Entries by 5 p.m.

(MCCLELLAND & STEWART)

Initially released in 2009, this book covers the utterly chilling story of North America’s youngest multiple-murderer — a then-12-year-old girl currently serving a shockingly short sentence that has raised a huge debate over the state of youth criminal punishment in Canada. What is most stunning about the story is not necessarily the crime itself, but the girl, referred to as JR in deference to Canadian laws that prevent the naming of a minor. With no evidence of prior abuse or mistreatment, this middle-class 12-year-old girl, chafing against her parents’ attempts to keep her from seeing her 23-year-old boyfriend, convinced him to help her kill not just her parents, but also her 8-year-old brother. Afterwards they went to a party and had sex. The authors do a good job of trying to make sense of an inexplicable crime without giving in to the temptation of shallow sensationalism. Not for the weak of heart or stomach, this is a fascinating look into the circumstances of a modern murderer.

(SECOND MOTION)

Few singers are capable of the hushed intensity found in Kilbey’s (of The Church) still-evocative voice — maybe Tim Booth can get there — but whether with his still-active group or solo side projects, Kilibey remains a master of the quietly dramatic and majestic. “White Magic” is a pure mood record, where ambience and feel supersede the need for any vocal hook or grand chorus. But the album is far from unmemorable, rather an experience where the impression left by the entire work lingers, not the effects of a particular song. The languid beauty of “Mountain” is the closest to an iTunes-ready song, where its overdubbed vocals and swelling psychedelica would fit nicely beside Arcade Fire on a late night playlist. A sophisticated, adult pop record with no need (or desire) to cater to trends or the masses, the quiet call of “White Magic” will draw you in time and time again.

Author David Sedaris will perform at the Wharton Center for Performing Arts in East Lansing on April 4. A witty and sardonic style have made this prolific writer a favorite live performer among literary buffs and earned him three Grammy Award nominations for Best Spoken Word and Best Comedy Album. Sedaris’ writing frequently appears in The New Yorker and his radio pieces can be heard on This American Life. Sedaris took a leap from his signature essay writing into fiction for his latest book, Squirrel Meets Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary. There is a free 30 minute preview lecture by Michigan State University English professor Jennifer Banks as a primer for the evening with Sedaris. The preview lecture is located in the Stoddard Grand Tier lounge on the third floor. • An evening with David Sedaris • 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 4 • Tickets range from $25-45 • www.whartoncenter.com

A major commercial and critical success, Darren Aronofsky’s baroque thriller about a gifted but mentally unstable ballerina given the role of a lifetime sounds tailor-made for a movie fan like me, yet the whole affair felt steeped in unearned melodrama and I was left empty and only vaguely engaged. While the film itself looked sumptuous and the dances tautly edited, the character development and detail was borderline laughable. The mother-daughter relationship, in particular, felt almost satirical, cliché-ridden as it was (tearing down childhood relics to demonstrate growth? Come on.) And despite a shiny new Oscar, Natalie Portman overacted herself into a corner she never emerged from. Only Winona Ryder, as a former star callously thrown away, felt alive as a character and her raw intensity stole every scene she was in. Next time I crave horror at a dance academy, I will dodge the “Repulsion”-lite of “Black Swan” and revisit “Suspiria.”
