On Friday night, Dan’s Silverleaf presents “An Evening With Bob Schneider.”
TO GET LISTED INFORMATION
Boots made for rocking Schneider strikes pose of cowboy poet in ‘Burden’ ack in June, Bob Schneider teased Denton with a few tracks from his latest album on Kirtland Records, Burden of Proof. He comes back on Friday, and this time the Austin artist might spend a little more stage time on the album. There’s something so Texas about Schneider’s record. It’s a humble but metropolitan ode to everyday life lived well and with a zeal that’s familiar, but hard to pin down. There’s a peep of country in tracks like “Swimming in the Sea” and whole lot of Tom Petty in every song. (Except maybe for “The Effect,” which takes lyrics Peter, Paul and Mary would sing today, but only if they gave the hand claps and pop-a-pop guitar phrases to Paul Simon in his Graceland era.) What does that mean, exactly? Natural harmonies that neither challenge nor shortchange Schneider’s considerable vocal
B
talent; music that has a sort of devil-may-care attitude to the soulful stuff he’s revealing; and rock-pop hooks that brand his sound on the part of your brain that controls all halfway-unconscious, must-hum-later riffs. And by metropolitan, can we talk about the smart strings used throughout? Strings can smother good intentions with schmaltz, or they can guide your ears to a small bit of musical business that would otherwise get lost under the melody line. The keys and strings make for a mighty fine meeting in “Please Ask for Help,” with all the ingredients that made the Carpenters matter and a few that may make one miss Matthew Sweet’s ear for radio-ready choruses and bridges. “The White Moon” lets the strings lead, with Schneider’s vocals following (and sounding like John Mayer). Schneider has a bit of the poet in his soul, too. “Weed Out the Weak” sounds like it’s out to be a love song in a musical, but the words are an aching sleight of hand. The golden notes prop up a sad story worthy of Larry McMurtry: Only the strong survive the incendiary stuff that
makes up relationships. Except, he suggests, sometimes even the strong can’t bear up. “I made a promise I knew I could keep,” Schneider sings. “Buried my heart in a hole so deep/I’ve never been able to find it again./I saw the sun burst into flame, and all at once everything changed for the better./It seemed like it does in the dream.” Elsewhere, “Tomorrow” — yes, from the musical Annie — shows just how much of a gem the song is, and why it’s memorable. True to form, though, the artist pairs it with a slow, sad pace. He loves tomorrow, it seems, because life can’t cut much deeper than it does today. “John Lennon” disrupts the theme of the album with jazzy composition and unexpected Auto-Tune, which Schneider doesn’t need. But it’s the closest the record comes to suggesting some dance-floor grooving. Schneider’s show starts at 9 p.m. Friday at Dan’s Silverleaf, 103 Industrial St. Tickets cost $25 for seats, or $20 for standing room. For tickets, visit www.danssilverleaf.com. — Lucinda Breeding

‘Mockingbird’ gets run in local cinema ocial justice, civil rights and coming of age in the American South are in the spotlight on Sunday and Wednesday for the next installment of the Cinemark Classic Series. To Kill a Mockingbird is the 1962 film adaptation of Harper Lee’s famous novel. Atticus Finch is a Southern lawyer who risks his reputation — and his life — when he defends a young black man, Tom Robinson, who stands accused of raping a young white woman. As Finch tries the case, he not only unveils the rigid racial prejudice enshrined in the courts and community, but also defends his children, Scout and Jem, from bigotry. The children also learn the truth about the reclusive neighbor they fear, Boo Radley, and the meaning of the objects he leaves for them in the knothole of a tree. The film stars Gregory Peck as Finch, Brock

the 2011 film Insidious. With Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne and Lin Shaye. Directed by James Wan. Rated PG-13, 105 minutes. — LAT Mademoiselle C (★★1⁄2) This fawning documentary from Fabien Constant centers on former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld as she lands in New York in an attempt to start what she calls a publication “between a magazine and a book,” which eventually becomes CR Fashion Book. The director follows his subject to various fashion shows across the globe (Paris, New York, China) and talks to high-profile names: Karl Lagerfeld, Tom Ford, Donatella Versace, and others. Should appeal mostly to dedicated followers of fashion (as the Kinks put it). Not rated, 93 minutes. At the Angelika Dallas and Plano. — Boo Allen The Patience Stone (★★★1⁄2) In a bombed out apartment in an unnamed Muslim country (Afghanistan?), a woman (Golshifteh Farahani) with two children and no support nurses her husband of 10 years who lies supine, comatose with a bullet in his neck. Torn with fear, she begins talking to him, telling the older man things she would never have dared to earlier. Director and source novelist Atiq Rahimi flashes back to tell the
woman’s life story, and, before ending, gives the woman an unexpected source of refuge. Farahani turns in a remarkable performance in this surprisingly rapidly paced film. Rated R, 102 minutes. At the Angelika Dallas. — B.A. The Spectacular Now (★★★★) This culturally astute drama, spiked with enough comedy to make it splendidly intoxicating to watch, features a breakout performance from Miles Teller as a teen at a crossroads.

As we learn, they’re lessons on the order of “Every day is a gift” and “Gratitude is a gift.” The film sets out to show us, in flashback, just how Red (played by Austin James as a teenager, and later by Drew Waters) came to these epiphanies, from his first job as a ranch hand in the 1940s, to his ownership of a giant company in the late 1960s. Based on the novel by Jim Stovall. Directed by Michael Landon Jr. Rated PG, 108 minutes. — The Washington Post

Arts, Antiques & Autos brings the classics to the S Square on Saturday, they’ll drink in classic cars and customized roadsters, trucks and motorcycles. The car show changes from year to year, but generally, enthusiasts bring classics that sport long, languid lines or rockabilly paint jobs — not necessarily flames, but the retro lines of yesteryear. Fancy hood ornaments recall a past grandeur, and for closet grease monkeys, there are sure to be lots of hoods popped and a few engines will be displayed like a turkey on a platter.
With up to 200 vehicles slated to take part in the car show, casual and serious auto fans have plenty to ogle. And plenty to vote on: Attendees can vote their picks for vehicles in five categories: Best Family Truckster, Best Mid-Life Crisis Car, Best Drive-In Movie Car, This Car Never Looked This Good When New award and Best Work in Progress.

Cooper Creek Baptist Church member David Ray saw a vacuum and filled it. The local Baptist and bona fide music lover has organized GospelFest 2013. In 2011, Mavis Staples and the Staples Singers whipped a crowd of college-age music lovers into a lather during 35 Denton, and gospel groups get a fair hearing at the Argyle Bluegrass Festival. But if there have been weekend festivals dedicated expressly to Southern gospel music, they’ve happened under wraps. Ray has started small, but he’s hoping to gain some momentum. “I’ve been bringing gospel musicians and groups to town for a while now,” Ray said. “I’d bring them to the church, and look for other places they might play.” Dove Creek Cafe in Roanoke, for instance, has live gospel music on a regular basis. For Saturday night, Ray booked the Revelations Quartet, Lou Cotton, Wendell Splawn and the Vessels to play at 6 p.m. at Cooper Creek Baptist. “There’s a lot of gospel music in the region, and I wanted to do something to bring those artists together for an event,” Ray said. The festival is free, and will feature Southern gospel bands and vocal groups for about two and a half hours. Refreshments will be served at intermission, and local Christian broadcasters will attend. Cooper Creek Baptist Church is located at 4582 Fishtrap Road in Denton. — Lucinda Breeding
