STICKMAN HOOK

APP REVIEW

FREE

We all have that one app on our phone. You know, the one you open when you’re bored or want to kill some time. Maybe it’s for social media, like Facebook or Twitter. Or maybe it’s a game app, like Words With Friends or Candy Crush.

Of course with a lot of those gaming apps, you have to wait for another user to play or for lives to be earned to resume the next level. However, not all games have to be like this.

“Stickman Hook” is a free app with no consequences if you lose the round. No lives lost, no waiting for your next turn. Just try and get your virtual dude across the screen by swinging him from hook to hook. At the end of your game, the Stickman does a victory dance, and the app creators dare you to try to outdo him. Be sure to post proof on their Facebook page.

The app is pretty straightforward and doesn’t have a lot of options of settings to go through. It’s just a good way to kill some time or ignore that project you need to start.

A DOG’S WAY HOME

By Justin Walker

MOVIE REVIEW Man’s best friend is the star of the feel good film of 2019, but there’s still a lot to be desired from this movie.

“A Dog’s Way Home” follows Bella (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard), a pit bull puppy whose mother is captured by city officials while clearing out abandoned structures. Lucas, played by Jonah Hauer-King, rescues Bella and takes her home to live with him and his veteran mother Terri (Ashley Judd). Following a situation where Bella is ruled a danger by the City of Denver and is sent to stay with family friends in New Mexico, Bella runs away in search of Lucas.

This film has a lot of potential, especially considering how similar films such as “Homeward Bound” have had success in the past. There was an opportunity for the movie to speak to audiences of all ages, and while it does on some levels, it primarily focuses on the younger viewers, and older generations are left to sit through an hour and a half of poor dialogue and cheesy situations.

While the movie lacks some substance, it does raise awareness to two situations that need to be discussed. The life after war for veterans is covered with references to issues they face, including PTSD, injuries, healthcare and job opportunities. The film also discusses laws regarding “dangerous” breeds of dogs, such as pit bulls.

While neither issue is the focus of the film, it was nice to see these important issues talked about.

Overall, “A Dog’s Way Home” isn’t bad, but might not be worth the trip to the theater. Wait until it arrives on Netflix.

ALBUM REVIEW

The much-anticipated release of Flatland Cavalry’s newest album was well worth the wait as “Homeland Insecurity” is packed with incredibly well-written songs and the sound you expect from the group.

By Justin Walker

Led by Cleto Cordero, Flatland Cavalry’s return to the studio has brought fans some great songs, varying in emotions and tempos, but each telling a story felt by many. The album has that classic country vibe in every song, with upbeat tunes such as “Honeywine,” the first single of the album, and “Back to Me.” “Pretty Women” presents itself as a great song to dance to, and “Ashes” brings a mix of romance and vulnerability.

ARTIST: Flatland Cavalry ALBUM: Homeland Insecurity

A highlight from the album comes in the last track, “Years from Now,” which looks to the future while setting the tone for what really matters today. The song is an easy listen that gives off a warm feeling.

“Homeland Insecurity” is a great answer to Flatland’s previous work, and gives fans exactly what they asked for.

MUSIC

THIS WEEKEND @

GRAND STAFFORD THEATER

Not only does Downtown Bryan host a great party on the first Friday of every month, on the same night, The Grand Stafford Theater hosts a free concert. This month, The Grand Stafford will also feature live music on Saturday. So take the weekend to meet the bands and enjoy the downtown nightlife!

February’s free First Friday concert showcases Northern National, an alternative band from Dallas, and Night Traveler, from Austin. Both of these groups offer their own unique style of Indie Rock and electronic. Northern National has not only made a name for itself on Spotify’s Discover Weekly and Spotify’s Viral 50 worldwide with it being streamed over 1.8 million times, but in the music industry altogether. They have been featured on Topsify, Filtr, and Coca-Cola’s playlists, and you may have even heard them played on TBS or MTV. Better yet, they have played alongside big names like Andy Grammer, The Band Perry, Echosmith, MAGIC! and more. Their popularity has skyrocketed since the debut of their 2016 Extended Play titled, “The New Age,” and their second batch known as “D.A.R.K.,” released in June of 2018. For more information, check out their website to listen/ stream/purchase.

Starting off its 2019 state tour with us, NIGHT TRAVELER will be celebrating its one year birthday since its formation the first of February of last year.

Despite being relatively newborn, co founders Hunter Glaske and Adam Fischer’s “ghosty” sound, with electronic synthesizers, guitar, and striking vocals is sophisticated. They’re all about emotion and preserving a timeless sound...almost like a new age 80s-like trance. They say, “We’re goofy, we’re real, we express strong emotions and feeling through our music, and we hope that our listeners can relate to our sound.” You can also find these guys on their website and social media.

Saturday’s concert brings Texan singer/songwriters Sara Davis Regan, Brody Price, and Emily Orr to the stage for a very affordable $5 ticket, purchased in advance from GST’s website or at the door. Sara Davis Regan’s indie folk sound thrives on her honest lyrics. Weaving together strong vocals and intriguing melodies, Regan pulls you in and won’t let go. Country artist Brody Price’s music casts a spell with lyrics that stay with you long after the music fades. He says, “I think honest music can make people feel less alone” and the expression of his full-out emotion coupled with his musicality makes Price a singer not to be missed. Emily Orr brings her indie alternative sound to the forefront on her new EP CAVERNS, released on January 25th.

These songs incorporate all of life—love, heartache, the good and the bad.

These three musicians will honor the community of Bryan with a show just for us from their tours around the state and the country. You can visit their websites and social media pages to check them out, and be sure to listen on Youtube, SoundCloud, Apple, and Spotify.

HEARTBREAKERS OF WEST TEXAS: Aaron Watson with Randall King at Hurricane Harry’s

By Elisabeth Cano Kick off the first weekend of ‘lover’s’ month right and see two good ol’ country boys from the plains of West Texas play at Hurricane Harry’s.

Singer-songwriters Aaron Watson with Randall King are set to take the stage Feb 1. With songs that tell tales of whirlwind romances and the agony of a broken heart, these boys will keep you guessing all night!

Born in Amarillo and based in Abilene, Watson comes from the dusty fields to spend some time in Bryan/College Station. From his very first album release in ‘99 to his latest album, “Vaquero,” released in 2017, Watson has produced over a dozen albums and played in “more than 35 states and six countries” over the past two years with his band, according to his website. His newest album, “Vaquero,” includes the single “Outta Style,” which reached the top 10 spot on the Billboard country chart.

The years of hard work and dedication sure have paid off; Watson has become a well known country music artist throughout his 17-year musical career. Known for the tender romantic style of his music, Watson’s songs consist of the smooth sounds of the fiddle, passionate heart-throbbing lyrics, and are made for Texas two-steppin’ and bootscootin’ across a wooden dance floor.

Opening up the night is singer-songwriter, Randall King. Growing up in the hay fields of Hereford, just south of Amarillo, King seeks to bring his

deep Southern heritage and family roots into his songs. Inspired by the classic country voices of George Strait and Alan Jackson, King released his EP album “Another Bullet” in 2016. From there, he worked to produce a full-length, self-titled album in 2018.

Featured on the album, his songs “Keep Her on the Line” and “Mirror, Mirror” reveal stories that sure do make your heart heavy with hurt. The soulful sounds of bass guitar compliment King’s silky Texas twang, and his afflicting lyrics present a “Tuggin’ on My Heartstrings” story.

As a newcomer to the country music scene, King sets out to stay grounded in his traditional roots and share his humble beginnings through his music. According to his website, King says, “I want to make my stamp as an artist with this record...I can be me and still make an impact across the country.”

You can find available tickets through the Hurricane Harry’s website or for sale in-store at Cavender’s Boot City. Doors will open at 9 p.m. You must be 18 years or older to attend. Come along and bring some friends or that special someone to see the show!

For more information, please visit Hurricane Harry’s website.

MSC OPAS PRESENTS

The King and I The commencement of the MSC OPAS spring series program will be a truly royal affair. The critically acclaimed Lincoln Center Theater Production “The King and I” will premiere in Aggieland on Feb. 5 and 6 at Rudder Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. as part of the OPAS Main Stage series. Hailed a classic, the Broadway musical is expected to entertain and inspire those who witness its historic tale.

Winner of four 2015 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, “The King and I” tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and Anna Leonowens, a British school teacher in 1860’s Bangkok. Originally produced by Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers, the Broadway classic has been revived by the Tony Award-winning director Bartlett Sher. The musical’s original 1951 orchestrations by composer Robert Russell Bennet, and dance and incidental music by Trude Rittmann, are animated by songs such as “Getting To Know You,” “I Whistle a Happy Tune,” “Hello Young Lovers,” “Shall We Dance” and “Something Wonderful.” These classics make for a production that is deemed “Five stars. Grand and glorious” by Time Out New York.

musical’s contagious songs and lively dramatics. “Although it has cheerful, well-known music, it is a full length, two hour and fifty minute musical with subject matter that might be difficult for very young children,” says Anne Black, OPAS executive director.

She recommends the production is suitable for guests 12 years of age and older.

Audience members are likely to be captivated by the impressive theatrics of the performance, due in part to the award-winning team who oversees this new tour, including Sher, now reunited with the award-winning creative team from the Lincoln Center Theater productions of “South Pacific” and “The Light in the Piazza.” “Audiences can expect a gorgeous Broadway musical classic with music everyone knows, and they may learn a bit about tolerance along the way,” says Black.

Ticket prices start at $28 and can be purchased on the MSC OPAS website or via phone by calling the MSC Box Office at (979)-845Characteristic of Rodgers and Hammerstein shows, profound 1234.

F I R S T F R I DAY :

ASTIN MANSION TOURS Casual yet elegant, laid back yet classy. If you’re not thinking of the Astin Mansion as a place for hanging out during Downtown Bryan’s First Fridays, then you should be! Built in 1924 by Roger and Nina Astin, the Astin Mansion is a National Historical marker, right in the midst of Bryan. Originally the setting of the cotton plantation Rivermist, the space is now a timeless sight to see. The grand 20’s style and architecture attracts many to host events that are unlike your typical modern gala.

Since being bought as an event space in 2004, the Astin Mansion is very much involved in the community events arena. On most First Fridays, this beautiful mansion is open to the public and is family friendly and free! The Astin Mansion participates in as many First Friday events as possible when they don’t have private events booked.

With the streets of downtown Bryan buzzing with people and the mansion located a mere three blocks from the center of downtown, what better time to welcome visitors and host tours than on First Friday? Meander around the square downtown, do a little shopping, grab a bite to eat and then stroll on down to the Astin for a tour.

By Kendall Ward

Each First Friday, two guided tours are held, one at 6:30 p.m. and another at 7:30 p.m., and you’ll be able to walk the halls of the elegant property while also learning a bit more about Bryan’s historic roots. The property is gorgeously spread across half a block, while the inside is filled with bright pops of color, wonderful antiques and flawless crown molding. You may feel you’ve jumped back a few generations. Feel free to bring a blanket to lay out on the lawn, then kick back and relax while listening to live music by local groups. February’s First Friday performers will be the Saddle Creek Band.

Nina Astin was widely known to have a generous heart and outlived the rest of her family. With no one to pass the massive house down to, she donated it to the local community in the form of the Nina Heard Astin and Nina Bess Astin charitable trusts. Come see this beautiful piece of Bryan’s history on First Friday!

If you want more information about the Astin Mansion or their First Friday event, check out their facebook page.
