OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Sometimes I find a theme will arise in an issue of GT whether those of us who put together the paper each week thought to put it there or not. That was definitely the case this week with the battle between sound and silence. On the one hand, there’s the cover story by Aaron Carnes on local musician Henry Chadwick, whose sound is getting him attention from music journalists and fans around the country right now.

It’s also, at a deeper level, about how hard it is to break out beyond the oddly insular music scene here, and what’s fueling Chadwick’s unexpected success. On the sonic side, there’s also

Cat Johnson’s story about ‘Mighty’ Mike Schermer, who went from changing sheets at UCSC to becoming a sought-after guitar sideman and leader of his own band.

But there’s a flip side, too, in the form of new contributor Daniel Talamantes’ article about the benefits of silence in our distinctly loud culture. And I have an article this week about the Wellstone Center in the Redwoods that explains why its founders Steve Kettmann and Sarah Ringler are pushing back against the noise to create an oasis of quiet for writers in Soquel.

I’m always surprised and fascinated when the issue is done and these threads of similar and contrasting ideas seem to suddenly rise off the page. I hope you enjoy finding those and other connections throughout this issue, too.

TRACKS MUST GO

4

In regards the upcoming ballot measure by the RTC to fund Highway 1 widening, I could not agree more with Steve Schnaar (GT, 7/27) that we have to get out of our cars. We have a wonderful opportunity to build a beautiful bike trail, and we have the perfect path in the rail line, going from Davenport to Watsonville. A program of incentives to get people electric bikes, coupled with the trail, could get many people out of their cars. But the tracks have to go. If in the near to middle future someone comes up with a better use of the path, we will figure that out.

Leaving the rails in is a non-starter, like highway widening. The only reason not to pull them is the owner gets to expense the track at book value, propping up their stock price. The measure as presently constructed is designed for failure; it would only pass due to voters’ ignorance.

JOEL KOPPA | SANTA CRUZ

WHICH CARS? While I agree with Steve Schnaar in the short term about the negative impacts of widening Highway 1, I think it’s important to point out that driving and automobiles do not, in and of themselves, contribute to climate change.

It’s the type of automobiles we drive and how they are manufactured that adds greenhouse

gases to the atmosphere. The sooner we can transition to all-electric vehicles manufactured using power that doesn’t add carbon dioxide or methane to the air, the better off we’ll be. In opposing the current plans to widen Highway 1, we should not lose sight of the even more important battle to transition away from our current fossil fuel economy.

MORDECAI SHAPIRO | SANTA CRUZ

STILL THE THING As many locals may have done, I was afraid that our best Shakespeare days were behind us, with the loss of the beloved Sinsheimer Grove. But after Ms. Jensen’s and Ms. Waters’ encouraging reviews I went to the new locale past the Delaveaga golf course and discovered the best two productions I have seen in years!

All hail to two great directors, a fabulous cast, and the amazing discovery that changing young Hamlet’s gender makes the role more powerful, rather than diluting it. We are so blessed to have Shakespeare in this world, and twice blessed to have such passionate, engaging, and amusing productions presented here in our own quaint (and brilliant!) little town.

Go quickly to see both of these firstrate productions, with stunning and true performances by great actors delivering fine and true productions conceived by inspired >8 directors. Just to see Hamlet played

ROADS AHEAD

With so many lovely cats in need of homes, the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter has drastically reduced adoption fees by as much as 65 percent through the end of August. Senior cats (over 6 years old) are only $25 this month, down from the norm of $55. Adult cats (between 1 and 5 years old) are $35, down from $100. And kittens, usually $120, are only $60 right now. That’s right—you’re only one adoption away from being a world-renowned cat video director.

Amelia Conlen, the executive director of Bike Santa Cruz County since 2012, has accepted a job at the City of Santa Cruz as the transportation coordinator, a position she will start in a few weeks.

That means Bike Santa Cruz County— known until last year as People Power— has an opening at its executive director position and is seeking applications for the job. Visit bikesantacruzcounty.org for more information.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 17 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 Can you imagine feeling at home in the world no matter where you are? If you eventually master this art, outer circumstances won’t distort your relationship with yourself.

No matter how crazy or chaotic the people around you might be, you will remain rooted in your unshakable sense of purpose; you will respond to any given situation in ways that make you both calm and alert, amused and curious, compassionate for the suffering of others and determined to do what’s best for you. If you think these are goals worth seeking, you can make dramatic progress toward them in the coming weeks.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 As I tried to meditate on your horoscope, my next-door neighbor was wielding a weed-whacker to trim her lawn, and the voices in my head were shouting extra loud.

So I decided to drive down to the marsh to get some high-quality silence. When I arrived at the trailhead, I found an older man in ragged clothes leaning against the fence. Nearby was a grocery cart full of what I assumed were all his earthly belongings. “Doing nothing is a very difficult art,” he croaked as I slipped by him, “because you’re never really sure when you are done.” I immediately recognized that his wisdom might be useful to you.

You are, after all, in the last few days of your recharging process. It’s still a good idea for you to lie low and be extra calm and vegetate luxuriously. But when should you rise up and leap into action again? Here’s my guess: Get one more dose of intense stillness and silence.

ing your way. Unexpected sources are poised to provide unlikely inspirations in unprecedented ways.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 When you were born, you already carried the seeds of gifts you would someday be able to provide—specific influences or teachings or blessings that only you, of all the people who have ever lived, could offer the world.

How are you doing in your quest to fulfill this potential?

Here’s what I suspect: Your seeds have been ripening slowly and surely. But in the coming months, they could ripen at a more rapid pace. Whether they actually do or not may depend on your willingness to take on more responsibilities—interesting responsibilities, to be sure— but bigger than you’re used to.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 I suspect that you will soon be culminating a labor of love you’ve been nurturing and refining for many moons. How should you celebrate? Maybe with some champagne and caviar? If you’d like to include bubbly in your revels, a good choice might be 2004 Belle Epoque Rosé. Its floral aroma and crisp mouthfeel rouse a sense of jubilation as they synergize the flavors of blood orange, pomegranate and strawberry. As for caviar, consider the smooth, aromatic and elegant roe of the albino beluga sturgeon from the unpolluted areas of the Caspian Sea near Iran. But before I finish this oracle, let me also add that a better way to honor your accomplishment might be to take the money you’d spend on champagne and caviar and instead use it as seed money for your next big project.

My readers have a range of approaches for working with the counsel I offer. Some study the horoscopes for both their sun signs and rising signs, then create do-it-yourself blends of the two. Others prefer to wait until the week is over before consulting what I’ve written. They don’t want my oracles to influence their future behavior, but enjoy evaluating their recent past in light of my analysis. Then there are the folks who read all 12 of my horoscopes. They refuse to be hemmed in by just one forecast, and want to be free to explore multiple options. I encourage you to try experiments like these in the coming days. The moment is ripe to cultivate more of your own unique strategies for using and interpreting the information you absorb—both from me and from everyone else you listen to.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to compose an essay on at least one of the following themes: 1. “How I Fed and Fed My Demons Until They Gorged Themselves to Death.” 2. “How I Exploited My Nightmares in Ways That Made Me Smarter and Cuter.”

3. “How I Quietly and Heroically Transformed a Sticky Problem into a Sleek Opportunity.” 4. “How I Helped Myself by Helping Other People.” For extra credit, Capricorn—and to earn the right to trade an unholy duty for a holy one—write about all four subjects.

Have you been drinking a lot of liquids? Are you spending extra time soaking in hot baths and swimming in bodies of water that rejuvenate you? Have you been opening your soul to raw truths that dissolve your fixations and to beauty that makes you cry and to love that moves you to sing? I hope you’re reverently attending to these fluidic needs. I hope you’re giving your deepest yearnings free play and your freshest emotions lots of room to unfold.

Smart, well-lubricated intimacy is a luxurious necessity, my dear. Stay very, very wet.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 In my opinion, you need to bask in the glorious fury of at least one brainstorm—preferably multiple brainstorms over the course of the next two weeks. What can you do to ensure that happens? How might you generate a flood of new ideas about how to live your life and understand the nature of reality? Here are some suggestions: Read books about creativity. Hang around with original thinkers and sly provocateurs. Insert yourself into situations that will strip you of your boring certainties. And take this vow: “I hereby unleash the primal power of my liberated imagination.”

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 When you were a child, did you play with imaginary friends? During your adolescence, did you nurture a fantasy relationship with a pretend boyfriend or girlfriend?

Since you reached adulthood, have you ever enjoyed consorting with muses or guardian angels or ancestral spirits? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are in a good position to take full advantage of the subtle opportunities and cryptic invitations that are com-

Some species of weeds become even more robust and entrenched as they develop resistances to the pesticides that are designed to eradicate them. This is one example of how fighting a problem can make the problem worse— especially if you attack too furiously or use the wrong weapons. I invite you to consider the possibility that this might be a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming weeks. Your desire to solve a knotty dilemma or shed a bad influence is admirable. Just make sure you choose a strategy that actually works.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I suspect that in the coming months you will be drawn to wandering through the frontiers and exploring the unknown. Experimentation will come naturally. Places and situations you have previously considered to be off-limits may be downright comfortable. In fact, it’s possible that you will have to escape your safety zones in order to fully be yourself. Got all that? Now here’s the kicker. In the coming weeks, everything I just described will be especially apropos for your closest relationships.

Are you interested in redefining and reconfiguring the ways that togetherness works for you?

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 If you’re playing the card game known as bridge, you’re lucky if you are dealt a hand that has no cards of a particular suit. This enables you, right from the beginning, to capture tricks using the trump suit. In other words, the lack of a certain resource gives you a distinct advantage.

Let’s apply this metaphor to your immediate future, Pisces. I’m guessing that you will benefit from what may seem to be an inadequacy or deficit. An absence will be a useful asset.

Homework: What’s the situation in your life where it’s hardest for you to be loving? Practice being a master of compassion there in the coming week.

by this powerful woman, Kate Eastwood Norris, who proves that fierceness and existential crisis are not the terrain of a single gender. I, too, was worried, deeply, about Hamlet the female Dane, and found, as Ms. Waters said, that “I was quickly smitten.” I will not wish to see Hamlet (my favorite Shakespeare play) as a man again, as this was so much better.

In case you forget, Shakespeare expands the soul by reminding us how marvelous the world we inhabit—as complex and convoluted humans—really is. This is something worth re-“membering,” and these are productions which re-“mind” us well, with joy and intrigue,

brightness and generosity, how wonderful it is, this fabulous globe of Shakespearean life.

CORRECTION In last week’s cover story about the web dramedy Cleaner Daze, we stated that after Olivia Orea got out of rehab “she was caught up in transporting drugs from across the border.” In actuality, she became involved in an effort to retrieve a car stolen by drug traffickers near the border. Orea did not transport illegal substances across state or international borders. We regret the error.

MOMENT OF SILENCE Patrick Shen, who made the documentary film ‘In Pursuit of Silence’ records sound at the quietest place

on Earth: an anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in Minneapolis.

lose track of physical time,” says artist Emily Tayman of her experience in an isolation tank in Santa Barbara. “More than once I’ve completely lost the sense that I am in my body. I am in a conscious dream state ... There are no sounds to distract you from getting to this space; you are in your own complete world.”

From headphones that block out a wide range of external noise to silent rooms and retreats to a new isolation tank center, Equilibrium, opening in Seabright on Sept. 1, people are taking extreme measures to experience silence. Though it’s hard to find and

is sometimes uncomfortable, it has proven medical benefits, too.

In 2013, an article published in the journal Brain Structure & Function revealed the positive, regenerative effects that silence had on the brains of rats. Initially intended to be a study of how rats react to music and different sounds, the silent segments—which were used as a control between each sample— produced the most profound responses from the subjects. During these episodes of silence, the hippocampus region of the brain (the part of the brain associated with memory, learning and emotion) saw a greater

development in cell production.

The research also concluded that subjects experienced more relaxation in silence before and after the calming music than while it was playing.

“We saw that silence is really helping the new generated cells to differentiate into neurons, and integrate into the system,” says Imke Kirste, a regenerative biologist at Duke University.

The research on silence builds on what we’ve long known about its inverse: Epidemiologists conducting the 1960 study that coined the term “noise pollution” discovered a relation between high blood pressure and

The quest for silence and its benefits in an increasingly noisy world BY DANIEL TALAMANTES

overexposure to noise. They suggested that exposure to chronic harsh sound increased the potential for sleep loss, tinnitus and heart disease.

So then, is silence simply the absence of noise? Imagine going to the most remote place you can think of: even there, you will still encounter sound of some kind—and even if you were to find a place where nearly everything is inaudible, is it possible to turn off the music or sounds created in your head?

“There isn’t really such a thing as silence,” says Robert Zatorre, a sound neurologist. “In the absence of sound, the brain often tends to produce internal representations of sound.”

More and more research shows that even when we find a silent space, our brain begins to fabricate sound from memory. In our most quiet moments, our brain switches from a state of gathering and stimulation to one of processing and reflection.

“Freedom from noise and goaldirected tasks, it appears, unites the quiet without and within, allowing our conscious workspace to do its thing, to weave ourselves into the world, to discover where we fit in. That’s the power of silence,” writes Daniel A. Gross in a 2014 Nautilus article “This is Your Brain on Silence.”

Therefore, if we spend the majority of our day distracted and focussed on a chronic rush of sound, we do not allow for our brain to develop and interpret our experiences. We do not give ourselves time for the brain to fit itself into the world.

“I do believe that sensory deprivation is the closest gateway to complete silence of mind and external stimuli that I have gotten,” says Tayman of the isolation tank. “It’s revitalizing, cleansing, and gives a sense of euphoria. I find myself much more sensitive to music after a float, it becomes enhanced and each note and beat is recognized. This may be from the deprivation of the senses, giving them a time and space to completely relax—heightening your senses by cutting them off for a given moment of time.”

Coastal Commission throws out Santa Cruz councilmember as it strikes down her overnight RV ban BY MATTHEW RENDA

A

t last week’s meeting of the California Coastal Commission, Commissioner Martha McClure ranted against the City of Santa Cruz’s controversial new law banning recreational vehicles from parking overnight. She has begun to feel exasperated, she tried to explain, with cities that make criminals out of the poor and homeless. Just then, a

shout reverberated through the hotel meeting room.

“Good, because Santa Cruz won’t have to host all of them, so thank you for your consistency!” someone blurted out from the sparsely populated room on the second floor of the Hilton Santa Cruz.

It was City Councilmember Richelle Noroyan, yelling from the seventh row.

Three other women sitting with

Noroyan began yelling along, as a back-and-forth erupted between Noroyan and Coastal Commission Chair Steve Kinsey.

Toni Riley was packing up snacks for a bonfire late last month when her cell phone rang.

She answered, and it was Stephen Baxter, a reporter from the Santa Cruz Sentinel, working on a story about the one-year anniversary of the slaying of 8-year-old Tannery resident Maddy Middleton, who was a family friend of Riley. At the beginning of what would be a strange series of events, Riley says she told Baxter that if Laura Jordan— Middleton’s mom—wanted to comment, she would let him know and hung up the phone.

When Baxter called back immediately after, Riley let it go to voicemail and Baxter left her a message.

“I just wanted to let you know that you’re a terrible person,” he said in the message, which Riley says left her completely shocked when she listened to it on the way to the bonfire. “You’re an awful person, and I have heard so much between last year and this year about the things that you’ve done.”

Baxter made a few accusations in his message—that Riley’s family was involved in a fight outside Middleton’s memorial, that she may have had something to do with a mismanaged fundraiser, and that she has enabled a close friend’s supposed “drinking problem”—all of which Riley denies. Riley says, for instance, that she’s sober. “How am I enabling someone if I don’t even drink?” she asks.

A recording of the voicemail, left on July 26, has made the rounds on social media, and Baxter has since resigned from the Sentinel.

Though he declined to address the specifics of his accusations, he says the voicemail came out of his frustration and anger with a lack of cooperation from community members as he covered the story.

“I’m not shy to controversy and I’m always working in the public interest. I’ve been fair, accurate and professional in my reporting,” says Baxter, a five-time California Newspaper Publishers Association awardwinning reporter. “I’m also human.”

The voicemail post has garnered more than 4,000 views and 100 shares on Facebook. Baxter says he had already been thinking about leaving the paper and looking for other jobs for about a year.

NEWS OFFICIAL EJECTION <13 ejected from that Aug. 10 meeting, says that her anger toward the California Coastal Commission had been festering for weeks. She believes the commission has singled out the City of Santa Cruz’s law despite the fact that it’s similar to measures 21 other coastal cities have enacted without so much as a peep from the commission. The laws passed by those other cities, she believes, have forced more RV-driving transients toward Santa Cruz.

However, she says the experience has humbled her.

“I beat myself up for doing that, because I am critical of those who do this at council,” says Noroyan. The City of Santa Cruz’s meeting rules, last updated two years ago, allow the council to indefinitely bar anyone who becomes too “boisterous.”

“Moving forward, I will be less judgmental of people who do that,” Noroyan adds, “because sometimes your emotions and frustrations get the best of you.”

Ultimately, the commission voted 11-1 to uphold an appeal that claimed Santa Cruz’s rule cuts back on critical coastal access. The lone dissenting voice in support of the law came from

Kinsey, who had just thrown Noroyan out. Commissioners also directed staff to investigate the issue further.

Robert Norse, the homeless advocate gadfly who filed the Coastal Commission appeal against the city, admits that even he was surprised by the outcome.

The City Council originally passed its oversized vehicle rule at a May 24 meeting, during which Noroyan proposed a motion to enact the ban without the support of the Coastal Commission, which had called city staffers about the matter at the 11th hour, the day of the meeting. Her motion failed.

Noroyan, a vocal supporter of the RV crackdown, says complaints from locals prompted the rule, with many residents expressing anger at large vehicles parking for long periods on city streets, taking up multiple spots and often leaving trash behind.

Noroyan and Deputy City Manager Scott Collins mentioned such complaints at the Coastal Commission meeting, arguing that the city’s plan ensures public safety. Local residents have found discarded needles in areas where RVers are known to stay, Collins told the commission, and bike thefts also spiked in these

neighborhoods. The city has also had problems with RV campers dumping waste onto the streets, he added.

But in lecturing Noroyan and Collins, coastal commissioners sounded unconvinced and unimpressed by the city’s presentation.

Commissioner Effie TurnbullSanders said that, anecdotes aside, the city did not prove a connection between RV users and crime—a point which McClure also emphasized.

“I’m getting very frustrated with communities that have this tendency to identify anyone who is homeless as a chronic drug user or chronic thief or somebody who is not on the right side of the law,” McClure said.

City staffers had suggested that RVs could possibly park at local businesses or in church parking lots, but admitted they did not know of specific churches or businesses willing to offer their lots.

“It seems like they want us to demonstrate that there will be parking spaces, so we’ll have to look at that,” Collins said after the vote.

Collins says the city will not enforce the rule—which would have still allowed RV drivers to purchase overnight parking permits—until the matter gets sorted. Santa Cruz >18

KUSP, the community radio station that recently stopped broadcasting, has now filed for bankruptcy.

“It’s really a shame. I wish it could have been different,” Board Secretary Cathie Royer says of the debt-ridden roller coaster ride of the beloved station. “It’s really tough to summarize.”

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the route the board chose, will force the station to liquidate its assets. Perhaps, some board members have suggested, things could have been different if the station had had more time—or leaders had begun their overhaul and last-ditch fundraising efforts sooner.

Royer says the board plans to post a Frequently Asked Questions page on KUSP.org this week.

INCOMING A voicemail left by Sentinel reporter Stephen Baxter sparked controversy and ultimately lead to his resignation.

16

RINGING OUT <13 “In this case, Mr. Baxter himself acknowledged that it was inappropriate what he did, and we would never encourage anyone to lose their objectivity in a case,” says Santa Cruz Sentinel Editor Don Miller, who stresses that it was Baxter’s decision to step down. “I think Stephen was a good reporter here, and it was an unfortunate incident, but he chose to resign,” Miller says.

As they sat around the bonfire that night, Riley says that she played the voicemail for her friends, and everyone there was “appalled.”

“We got that there was going to be a story, and people want to know what happened.

But there is a right way and a wrong way,” says Riley. “This isn’t a black-and-white issue—it’s super gray, and you have to have a bit of finesse to go into a place where

something horrible happened and people are picking up the broken pieces of their life.”

In addition, says Riley, “there’s another level to this story. My father shot himself while I was at the bonfire that day.”

Baxter notes that he apologized four days later, although he says Riley didn’t feel his apology sounded sincere.

Riley and one of her friends also criticized Baxter’s reporting and the Santa Cruz Sentinel more generally, especially for how they handled the tragedy at the Tannery Arts Center.

“Santa Cruz can do better. We can do better if we demand more of the people who are serving us and giving us our news. You have to demand more of that,” says Facebook user Raggedy Andey, who posted the video and performs as a slam poet under the same name. “You aren’t allowed to create more pain in the wake of pain. We can demand better as

a community, as a people, as a whole.”

Andey, who hoped to shine a more public light on what she sees as Baxter’s transgressions in the public eye, has asked us not to use her real name. Andey and Riley make numerous claims about Baxter’s reporting, including that he is loose with his facts.

In his coverage of the Middleton tragedy, Baxter did misreport the exact date of Middleton’s death, although the Sentinel article has since been corrected. In his most recent story on the series, he reported that defendant Adrian Gonzalez’s preliminary hearing will be Feb. 28, although it’s actually scheduled for Feb. 21, and that Middleton went missing July 25. She was, in fact, last seen the afternoon of July 26.

“We ran 25 stories, or something, on the murder, so, on one of them it had the day of the murder wrong then it got corrected,” Baxter says, who adds that there’s no excuse

for wrong dates and that people should expect accuracy from reporters. “But is that the one thing I did? OK, I’ll take it. There are thousands of facts in there, so, if I had one date of one thing wrong, I’ll accept that.”

Now that he’s left the Sentinel, Baxter says he hopes to freelance and work on stories outside of the Santa Cruz area. He also hopes to write about his experiences as a reporter, and the “moral quandaries” reporters face, like weighing what to do with off-the-record information and the struggle of trying to write a long slate of wellrounded stories in a tight turnaround.

“The amount of work you do and the extent you go to to get interviews and get ahold of people, just to get someone on the phone or in person, all of the reporting that goes into the two or three stories that I am writing per day ... It’s never enough,” Baxter says. “No matter what you do.”

City Attorney Tony Condotti says the Coastal Commission’s appeal process is lengthy and involved, adding that it would probably cause “several months of delay” in the city’s ability to implement the ordinance.

At the same meeting, protesters showed up with signs criticizing a sand-mining operation in Marina that the Coastal Commission has been trying to shut down. The commission also got an update on the search for a replacement of popular Executive Director Charles Lester, who was fired in a controversial vote this past winter. Jack Ainsworth, the senior deputy director, has served as interim executive director since March, and a recruiting firm will begin its search for a permanent replacement this month.

When it comes to the RV rule, Noroyan asserts that the city’s way of handling homeless issues is “not within the purview of the Coastal Commission.”

“The RV issue is important, but how we were being treated by the Coastal Commission became even bigger,” she says. “It’s an unequal application of standards.”

It isn’t the first time someone has made such claims. The Coastal Commission heard a loud public outcry in Santa Cruz when it denied approval of both the Arana Gulch Multi-Use Trail in 2010 and the La Bahia hotel project in 2011—both of which were approved in later years.

Commissioner Wendy Mitchell concedes that the commission needs to develop a policy on coastal access and RV ordinances, rather than tackle these matters on a city-by-city basis.

In the meantime, McClure asked the enforcement division to look at the RV ordinances of the 21 other coastal cities in California that have enacted similar bans.

Other commissioners reminded everyone that the principal charge of the commission is to ensure that the public is able to access the beach.

“From our perspective,” Commissioner Mark Vargas said, “we need to be careful about how this impacts people of all economic spectrums’ ability to access the coast.”

With the release of his debut solo EP ‘Guest at Home,’ local rocker Henry Chadwick is getting national attention—and beating the curse of the Santa Cruz musician

BY AARON CARNES

I

more than 50 publications.

Some have focused mainly on the title track, others on the song “Alright”—which has actually gotten more listens on Chadwick’s Soundcloud than “Guest At Home”—and others on the entire EP. The Santa Cruz artist is a bona fide sensation, but with all of this publicity coming seemingly out of nowhere, none of the national publications writing about Chadwick know much about him. Rolling Stone even mistakenly said he was a “San Diego solo artist.”

Meanwhile, Chadwick, a longtime fixture on the Santa Cruz scene, still doesn’t know how it all happened.

“I stumbled across the Rolling Stone thing, and I was like ‘what the hell?’ It was very surprising.

It was bizarre. I didn’t really know what to think,” Chadwick tells me over beers at Harlow’s Nightclub in Sacramento, where the Coffis Brothers—who he drums for—will be playing that night. “It’s weird to me that people heard that song and thought of it as something worth sharing and putting alongside other cool songs.”

What’s even stranger is that these publications consistently refer to his breezy, Beatlesinfluenced garage-rock sound as “pop music.” In reality, he’s a rocker who happens to write catchy hooks.

“I was confused by that as well, but I’m not complaining,” Chadwick says. “I like pop, and I think there’s some pop sensibilities in my songwriting. Maybe pop is just a big umbrella.”

CURSE OF THE LOCAL BAND Maybe it was no coincidence that Rolling Stone thought

Chadwick was from somewhere else, as it’s rare for Santa Cruz musicians to break out regionally, let alone nationally.

The local music scene here, while thriving, is extremely insular. Ska band Slow Gherkin sold out the Catalyst multiple times in the ’90s, but struggled to draw crowds elsewhere.

Only a handful of bands from here have gained popularity nationally, and even those that have—Camper Van Beethoven, Good Riddance, and the Devil Makes Three, for instance— tend to be thought of either as cult bands or popular solely within a niche genre.

Meanwhile, the Santa Cruz band that almost made it big is a tradition that stretches all the way back to ’60s rockers Snail.

So Chadwick seems to be on his way to beating the odds.

And though this sudden rush of attention is a total shock to him, I can see barely any trace of excitement exuding from his face. Chadwick is a short man wearing a Beastie Boys T-shirt and sporting a Beatles moptop circa 1964. He speaks quietly, and takes measured sips of his beer as he explains that it doesn’t exactly surprise him that he’s gotten so much publicity. That was, after all, his plan. What surprises him is that it actually worked.

Chadwick is a talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, singer and recording engineer. As such, he was able to record Guest At Home at his father’s home studio for virtually nothing, and used the majority of his recording budget to hire a publicist. He wanted to “get his music out there,” but didn’t have too lofty an idea of what exactly that meant.

“I wanted to be Googlesearchable. That was my goal with it all. I really lucked out

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 17-23, 2016

interviewed local indierocker Henry Chadwick back in March for GT’s “Love Your Local Band” column. He was putting the final touches on his debut solo EP, and was excited to shake his reputation as a one-trickpony pop-punker with local punk band My Stupid Brother, a group he’d been in since before high school. I found him to be a nice guy. Humble, unassuming, and now, at 25, anxious to show off a new side of himself. I also immediately liked his new music, influenced in equal parts by ’60s and ’90s rock ’n’ roll, but with infectious hooks that stood up to multiple listens.

I didn’t think much about Chadwick after that until June, when I was shocked to discover that Rolling Stone magazine had declared his song “Guest At Home,” the title track off his solo EP, one of the best pop songs of 2016. This wasn’t an article highlighting the best up-and-coming indie singles—Chadwick was suddenly being put in the same conversation as Pitbull, Garbage, Enrique Iglesias, and Tegan and Sara. It’s not that his song didn’t deserve the attention, but how did Chadwick, an indie musician almost completely unknown outside of Santa Cruz, suddenly crack the top-pop list in the biggest music magazine in the country?

A week later, Time Magazine also named “Guest At Home” one of the best songs of 2016, this time placing him in the company of artists like Kanye West, Brandy Clark, Flo Rida and Miguel. And that was just the beginning of an avalanche of press; to date, Chadwick’s Guest At Home EP has garnered write-ups in

<21 that this person hustled,” he says of his publicist.

Probably the biggest score was getting featured on music blog Indie Shuffle, where he was the No. 1 artist for a week. As a result of the attention he got from that, two of his songs were featured on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds: Six Strings” playlist.

He was also approached by a small label, and even scored a manager.

The Indie Shuffle highlight is also likely what led to the Rolling Stone and Time magazine features, since his publicist didn’t reach out to those particular publications.

TREBLE IN THE DETAILS Chadwick’s new EP is short and sweet, with five songs, three of which Chadwick has released videos for. Each song stands on its own in terms of sound, with influences all over the board—including ’60s rock ’n’ roll, surreal psych-folk, electro-

rock, surf-pop and ’90s alt-rock.

What connects the songs is Chadwick’s approach to infectious hooks and overall production quality. The songs are similar enough to occupy the same record, and different enough to keep the EP from getting boring.

“I wanted each song to have its own identity,” Chadwick says. “It’s more rewarding when you hear a band and there’s some punk stuff, surfy stuff, some Beach Boys-y stuff, some Beatles influence and some electronic stuff mixed in.

It feels more authentic to just incorporate all of them, at least for me, because I like a lot of stuff.”

Though the result is a quick, easy listen, Chadwick worked on the EP for nearly a year, in between touring with local band the Coffis Brothers, and recording other bands at his studio. During the interview he repeatedly refers to himself as “obsessive” and “OCD,” qualities that are in no way apparent to me as I

‘GUEST’ STAR

“It’s more rewarding when you hear a band and there’s some punk stuff, surfy stuff, some Beach Boys-y stuff, some Beatles influence and some electronic stuff mixed in.” - HENRY CHADWICK By the time Chadwick was in high school, he was also recording friends’ bands, and this has continued in more recent years.

Some of the bands he’s recorded include Subpar, Jesse Daniel and the Slow Learners, McCoy Tyler, and the Leftovers. He records bands at Hale Kua, and another studio, the Compound.

“He’s really professional. He has a really good ear for things on the production end of it that I wouldn’t necessarily think of. I’ve had a lot of people compliment the sound,” says Jesse Daniel. Chadwick recorded Daniel’s country-rock American Unknown EP last year. The two have been friends since childhood, and Daniel also plays drums in Battlesnake. “He’s meticulous. If something’s a little bit off, he’ll tweak out on that, and obsess about it. It’ll be a good thing. It’ll end up sounding perfect, exactly the way you want it.”

All of the time Chadwick devoted to poring over the final My Stupid Brother album, as well as the hours he’s devoted to friends’ bands, paid off on Guest At Home. It’s an incredibly fresh, professionally produced batch of songs that manage to steer clear of the over-polished radio sheen, but also doesn’t sound like the work of a DIY artist with no label affiliation who played virtually every instrument himself. The balance of instruments and vocals is exceptional. Certainly, if Rolling Stone had heard the music of a completely unknown artist without a flair for production, it’s unlikely they’d even consider featuring him alongside Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias.

sit across from him. His worry-free, go-with-the-flow demeanor reveals no obsessive characteristics.

“It’s kind of a paradox,” Aidan Collins tells me over the phone.

Collins plays bass in the Coffis Brothers, and in Battlesnake, Chadwick’s backing band. “He’s really easygoing, but he’s definitely detail oriented. He doesn’t get hung up on the little things. He can be pretty open to change. He’s pretty democratic with ideas.”

Perhaps Chadwick’s secret weapon is his remarkable recording skills, which have roots in his childhood.

His father was a recording engineer in Hollywood in the ’80s, and moved up to the Bay Area in 1988 when Chadwick’s older brother George was born. In the ’90s, the Chadwicks moved to Ben Lomond.

There, Chadwick’s dad built his own studio using leftover equipment he saved from his Hollywood days.

Chadwick’s father dubbed the studio Hale Kua (Hawaiian for “House in the Back”), and it’s where Chadwick recorded Guest At Home.

By the time he recorded his solo album, he was a seasoned engineer.

His dad helped him record My Stupid Brother, a band Henry and George formed in 2002—before they were old enough to drive themselves to gigs. The first record in 2007 was self-titled, and Chadwick’s father recorded it for them. The second, 2009’s What You Need, was an engineering collaboration between Henry and his dad. The final record, 2014’s Welcome To My Head, Henry engineered and produced entirely on his own. He spent a lot of time on it, tweaking every little detail he could imagine, and sometimes overdoing it, he says now.

‘GUEST’ STAR <23 As far as I can tell, it’s this high level of production value that has Chadwick pinned as a pop artist by so many music writers. When I mention this theory, Chadwick agrees.

“Some of my songs at their core are garage-rock songs. Maybe they’re pop songs. I just mask them in fuzz and stuff. If it was more drowned in reverb, it could have been straight up indie or garage,” he says.

The recording process for Guest At Home was a liberating experience for Chadwick. Up until recording these songs, his primary creative outlet had been My Stupid Brother—he’s played drums for the Coffis Brothers since 2010, but when he played with his brother, he was the primary singer-songwriter.

From the beginning, My Stupid Brother was a pop-punk band, an identity they kept intact more-orless until their final album. It was on that last album that Chadwick felt himself wanting to write different types of songs. Some of it ended up being pop-punk, some of it steered into indie and garage-rock territory.

The band was changing anyway.

Chadwick’s brother George moved to New York to get his master’s degree before the album was released.

The band continued on a little bit.

Between playing without George, and Chadwick wanting to move away from strictly pop-punk, it started to just not feel right continuing to play as My Stupid Brother.

All of these other musical influences, that up until then had to take a back seat to pop-punk, were not new for Chadwick. He’d always had eclectic musical tastes. The first band that ever had an impact on Chadwick was the Beatles, a group he’s been in love with since he was in diapers.

“It was everything—all albums, all videos, all movies, all books,” George tells me over the phone, regarding his brother’s Beatles fetish. “He knew the words. He could sing the melodies. I remember him knowing the names of songs and knowing the

names of stuff before I did. At one point, he was able to make his face look like every one of the Beatles. He could do a John Lennon impression, a Ringo Starr impression. He was like 8 years old. They were really pretty good.”

My Stupid Brother never broke up, but the group hasn’t played much over the past several years.

Meanwhile, Chadwick had all these unused demos. When he started recording the songs, he wasn’t sure what it would be for, or if it would be a full album or an EP. Ultimately, he settled on the five songs, since they were so fully developed.

As for the name of the project, it just clicked in his head to go solo, which helped him to go anywhere he wanted genre-wise.

“I’m always going to be Henry Chadwick. I’m always going to be able to get behind my name. I can’t really break myself up,” Chadwick says. “There are solo artists that do something different every album, like Beck or David Bowie. They can just kind of reinvent themselves at any point and it doesn’t shun fans away.”

As press continues to roll in for Guest At Home, Chadwick takes it all in stride, unsure what it all means for his future. One thing that’s changed is that he’s working with people on his solo music—a manager, label, publicist—and they’re all in discussion about what he should do next: releases, tours, etc.

“It’s weird having a little team built around me now. That’s never something I’ve had before,” he says with reluctant enthusiasm.

After we finish the interview, he heads off to join the Coffis Brothers on stage. In this role, he’s completely unassuming—for half of the set I can barely even see him, hidden behind one of the lead singers. As I watch, it suddenly strikes me that no one in this club would ever guess that that guy is poised to be a genuine rock star. They certainly won’t hear it from him.

The Wellstone Center in the Redwoods isn’t just a writer’s retreat; it’s also a reflective approach to creativity BY STEVE PALOPOLI

A

t the end of Amigo Road in Soquel, near the top of a trail that heads down into the trees, there’s a little clearing with a bench and a redwood tree. It’s part of the Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, and in many ways it’s a perfect symbol of the experience that husband-and-wife Wellstone co-founders Steve Kettmann and

Sarah Ringler try to create for writers.

Not only because it offers a gorgeous view of the natural world, but also, more importantly, because it’s quiet.

Wellstone is a place where silence is revered, a retreat in the truest sense of the word. And the fellowships, resident internships and other opportunities writers get to create and explore their process on the grounds

In another way, that same clearing at the end of Amigo Road also symbolizes just how hard Wellstone’s push against our culture’s ever-

growing obsession with connectivity can be. That’s because the redwood by the bench was planted in honor of Kettmann’s sister, who died of cancer. She visited the Wellstone Center only a couple of times in her life, but the mandatory offline policy didn’t sit well with her.

“She was an educator. A great, generous person who totally

nothing except a nice bed, books and an amazing view,” says Kettmann.

The couple—who just a few days ago welcomed their second child into the world—bring a sort of intersection of passions to their work at the Wellstone Center. Kettmann, who was born in San Jose, is a former sports writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and a contributor over the years to everything from the New Republic to the New York Times. He has written or co-written several best-selling books.

Ringler, who earned her master’s degree in international relations in Berlin, comes from the world of nonprofits. They had been living in Berlin for 10 years when they discovered their Soquel property on a trip to the Bay Area.

“We came here and were just so wowed by the place, the location,” says Ringler. “We felt like we wanted to bring people here and engage their creativity.”

While Kettmann has the writing fame, Ringler is in many ways the face of the Wellstone Center—literally, even, since her face is on the landing page of their website, along with a diary that is part of the very personal connection she considers essential to the Wellstone experience.

“We don’t have that very often anymore in our world,” she says.

“We feel like we have 100 friends on Facebook, but what we really want is personal connection.”

There is also a publishing arm of the Wellstone Center, Wellstone Books, that has already put out an eclectic array of works, like A Book of Walks by San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy, and the “Music That Changed My Life” series.

“We look to do personal writing that’s not afraid to inspire,” says Kettmann. “It’s not self-help, it’s not overtly inspirational. But why not do stuff that has positive energy and might make people feel good?”

Though their goals are ambitious, and their vision finely tuned, they don’t see the Wellstone Center as their home, exactly.

“We see ourselves as the custodians of it,” says Kettmann.

“The custodians of quiet.”

understood what we were up to,” says Kettmann. “But she came and visited us, and had it in her mind that she wanted to go online to, I don’t know, check in for Southwest Airlines or something. And we told her no, please don’t do that here, and she just couldn’t process the information. It became a little bit of a conflict, and it bothered her— later, she mentioned ‘Well, they’re a little bit pushy about that!’ And my sister almost never said anything like that.”

The thing is, his sister’s view was not unusual; in fact, it’s the societal norm.

“People feel like it’s really their entitlement to be connected at any point, without stopping to understand how dangerous that is—that there is no ‘no,’ it’s always ‘yes,’” he says. “So it was a pretty jarring lesson for me. We have to keep trying, even though we run into things like that all the time.”

The payoff comes when they get to work with writers like Ethel Rohan, the Irish-born, San Franciscobased author who was awarded the Wellstone Center’s first Plumeri Fellowship.

“Twice a year, we have a Plumeri Fellow who is an established writer pursuing a book project at the intersection of food and health,” says Kettmann. “The idea is it should be fiction or creative nonfiction, not journalism or academic writing. It should have a personal component.”

During her month-long fellowship in June, Rohan worked on her first novel, The Weight of Him, which will be published in February by St. Martin’s Press. In announcing the Plumeri Fellowship on her website, Rohan said she was “thrilled and grateful,” and looking forward to the “solace and inspiration of nature.”

Wellstone is now accepting applications for the second Plumeri Fellowship, which are due in October. The fellowship comes with a $5,000 stipend.

Coming up much sooner, Aug. 20, is the deadline for another monthlong residency on the property, the WCR Fellowship. It’s awarded four times a year, and provides for a writer to stay in the property’s rustic Library House, which epitomizes the digital detox experience—“no electricity, no running water, really

Blues guitarist and UCSC alum ‘Mighty’ Mike Schermer returns to Santa Cruz for a birthday blowout BY CAT JOHNSON

I

n 1989, Mike Schermer was working a job he hated as a housekeeper at UCSC and playing blues guitar on the side. One day on his lunch break he got a call from Bay Area bluesman Andy Santana about a potential gig that night.

Schermer would miss the gig if he went back to campus, so—in what would become a defining moment—he ditched work and played the gig. He and Santana then formed a blues group called the Soul Drivers, and Schermer never worked another day job again.

“We were pretty much immediately working five or six nights a week,” Schermer says. “I was making $50 or $60 a night and I

was paying $200 a month for rent. It didn’t get much better than that.”

Now widely known as Mighty Mike, Schermer has become a celebrated blues sideman. He’s performed with an all-star roster of blues heavyweights, including Bonnie Raitt, Elvin Bishop, and Charlie Musselwhite, and he’s lead guitarist for swamp-boogie pianist and singer Marcia Ball.

Schermer has wholeheartedly embraced the role of sideman. He leads his own band, the Mighty Mike Schermer Band, and he writes his own material, but he thoroughly enjoys playing other people’s music.

“I think every frontperson should

be a sideperson at one time in their career, just to see what it’s like,” he says. “And vice versa. I’ve worked with a lot of sidemen that complain about this and complain about that, and they have no idea how hard it is to be a frontperson ... It would be a good experience for every drummer and bass player to experience that in their life.”

Originally from Los Alamos, New Mexico, Schermer experimented with different styles of music while a student at UCSC. His musical trajectory was forever altered, however, when he saw blues legend Albert Collins perform at Kresge Town Hall.

“It changed everything for me,” he says. “From that first note he hit, I knew what I wanted to do.”

Collins still provides considerable influence and inspiration, even after all these years. Schermer describes his life before and after seeing the legendary artist as one door closing behind him and another opening.

Talking with him is a quick study in blues appreciation. He delights in explaining how all American music has its roots in the blues; that the blues is one of the original improvisational styles; that there are countless sub-genres within the genre; and that its chordal confines enable vast creative expression.

“It’s pretty much three chords with a few substitutions here and there—twelve bars with a few variations there,” he says. “But by boxing it in, it opens it up. There’s a lot more you can do inside of that.”

An energetic and passionate performer who has a reputation for playing his ass off every night, Schermer now calls Austin, Texas home. He moved there at the invitation of Ball to be her guitarist. He describes Santa Cruz as a hard place to leave, but the move has been great for his career.

He doesn’t, however, advise moving there as a guitarist looking for work.

“It’s just not a town that you move to as a guitar player unless you already have a gig,” he says. “The guy serving your pizza can probably play circles around you.”

On Thursday, Schermer celebrates his 50th birthday with a performance at the Kuumbwa. He’s bringing his ace band and enlisting the help of local collaborators, including Tammi Brown, Lara Price, and members of the Soul Drivers. The evening promises to be a musical trip down memory lane for longtime fans, as well as a showcase of Schermer’s extraordinary talents and love of being on-stage.

“I try to put the thoughts away when I perform,” he says. “It’s really just about having a good time ... Let’s forget about everything and just have fun from the first note to the last note. We can solve the world’s problems later.”

Mighty Mike Schermer will perform at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 19 at Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $18/ adv, $23/door. 427-2227.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

DEAD RECIPE Day of Mangos is a creative, moody synth-pop record layered with lots of strange sounds and infectious hooks.

Local three-piece Dead Recipe recorded it last year, but it’s not really the band you’ll get if you see them live right now.

For one thing, they recorded it when they were only a two-piece (Austin natives Kyle Albrecht and Camille Lewis). When they performed these songs live initially, they tried to recreate it as accurately as possible, which meant relying heavily on backing tracks.

AUGUST 17-23, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We were interested in seeing how much sound we could produce with just the two of us. We were singing over big sample sections of our songs. Then this year, we just tried to strip everything down,” says Lewis.

34

Part of that change-over is the addition of third member, Tom Clary. They are starting over, in a sense. Rather than try to get every layer of electronics into their set, they start with just guitar, drums and keyboards, and build up from there. One of their biggest influences for this new direction is early Talking Heads, which was minimalistic at its core, while still being incredibly experimental.

Is Dead Recipe a New Wave band now? Kind of, but even that definition doesn’t totally define them. They are more like pop experimentalists that are using whatever means they have to express themselves.

“We’re still using electronics. It’s a little less karaoke. It breathes a little more. If we had an electronic malfunction, we wanted that to not be the death of us,” says Albrecht. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

JANE BUNNETT & MAQUEQUE

WEDNESDAY 8/17 COUNTRY

EVENING BELL Hailing from the country music hotbed of Seattle, Evening Bell is a throwback to an era when honkytonks ruled the weekend, Tammy Wynette and George Jones ruled the airwaves and a long ride in an old pickup truck was the height of romance. Paying tribute to the classic country sound, Evening Bell also reflects modern life in the Pacific Northwest by pulling in elements of rock, folk and psychedelic influences, furthering the contemporary roots scene in compelling ways. Also on the bill: Santa Cruz-based country outfit Doggone Lonesome. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 8/18 REGGAE

MIKE LOVE So this isn’t that Mike Love—you know, the one that fronted the Beach Boys. No, this is the reggae

Mike Love, and isn’t “Mike Love” a more appropriate name for a conscious-minded roots reggae singer-songwriter than a rock star?

Anyway, reggae Love was born and raised in Hawaii. He’s a vegan, a family man, and very, very spiritual. All that plus plenty of politics is dripping all over his ’70s-inspired roots reggae sound. Also, the island of Hawaii serves as an influence to his sound. It’s easy-going and breezy, despite all the seriousness in the lyrics. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-4135.

ZYDECO

ANDRE THIERRY When the King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier, deems you an accordion player, you’d be wise to take up the instrument—even if you’re still a toddler. Such was the case with West Coast Zydeco standout Andre Thierry, who Chenier dubbed a player at the age of 3. Born in Northern California, but deeply rooted to his Louisiana family, the Grammy-winning Thierry now blends the best of both worlds, combining traditional

Zydeco with progressive elements from his home state. CJ INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $12/adv, $14/door. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 8/19 SKA

ENGLISH BEAT It’s hard to believe that the English Beat only released three albums. With that limited output, the band continues to enrapture audiences, decades later. The English Beat wasn’t even that big in the states in the early ’80s when it released those records, but, man, what amazing albums they were.

The debut I Just Can’t Stop It (1980) is an amazing, infectious ska gem.

Sophomore record Wa’ppen? (1981) is weirder and more reggae-influenced.

The band’s final record, Special Beat Service (1982), is an absolute pop masterpiece—the group’s best album by far. Oddly, after all these years, the members are supposedly releasing a fourth studio album in late 2016/early 2017. Can it stack up to their prior brilliant LPs? We shall see.

SUNDAY 8/21 CANADIAN FOLK

DE TEMPS ANTAN Drawing from the rich and lively folk music traditions of Quebec, De Temps Antan combines age-old techniques with a contemporary flair to create music that seamlessly bridges the eras of the French-Canadian province. The band’s music is driven by traditional Quebec folk instruments, including the fiddle, accordion, harmonica, guitar and bouzouki, but it boasts a freshness and flair as traditional tunes are filtered through modern sensibilities and a fine-tuned sense of humor. As one reviewer wrote, the band blends “boundless energy with the unmis-

takable joie de vivre found only in traditional Quebec music.” CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $18/adv, $20/door. 335-2800.

MONDAY 8/22 JAZZ

JANE BUNNETT & MAQUEQUE With relations between the United States and Cuba attaining a semblance of normality, it’s a good time to recognize the essential role that Canadian soprano saxophonist and flutist Jane Bunnett has played for the past two decades in introducing brilliant young Cuban players to the North American scene. Her Juno Award-winning band Maqueque showcases a rising generation of women, including drummer Yissy García, daughter of Irakere drummer Bernardo García, pianist Danae Olano, Daymé Arceno on percussion, Magdelys Savigne on batás, congas and vocals, and the single-monikered Yusa on tres guitar and fretless bass. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

INFO: 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, Aug.27 and 28. San Lorenzo Park, 137 Dakota St., Santa Cruz. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25 to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to Saturday’s festivities.

Born in the concrete caves of UCSC’s music studios, Joomanji’s electro-jazz-infused hip-hop is tinged with tasty neo-soul, unique samples and intricate grooves. Now located in L.A., the group keeps their sound diverse by incorporating a variety of vocalists and guest artists. All composition, production, engineering, and mixing is their own, revealing a deep appreciation for the process. KATIE SMALL

Catalyst. The organizers are assuring everyone that it’s going to be bam, bam, bam, one band after another. No down time. There’s seriously some incredible acts on this line-up: Great Apes, Thanks Buddy, Good Neighbor Policy, the Defenders, and of course the one-of-a-kind Dan Potthast. AC

The fact that there’s a local gathering celebrating tequila, tacos and music may be enough to get you over to San Lorenzo Park to partake. If you need more, here goes: there will be top-shelf tequila sampling, gourmet tacos with all the fixings, plenty of margaritas to go around, craft beers, art vendors and live music from Third Sol, Patrón Latin Rhythms, Metalachi Band, Extra Large, and SambaDá. Sound good? We think so, too. CAT JOHNSON

Money almost buys happiness in excellent ‘Florence Foster Jenkins’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

S

omething that’s really perfectly awkward is, in essence, perfect. Florence Foster Jenkins is Stephen Frears’ biopic of a show-business legend who deserves her place next to the Shaggs and Ed Wood. Meryl Streep certainly sentimentalizes this deluded woman’s life, but she also honors it.

Frears is crafty, not letting the cat out of the bag until the right time.

It was fun to watch FFJ in a theater full of people not acquainted with the legend of Jenkins, an opera singer whose reach truly exceeded her grasp. And, as per the Browning verse, Frears sends this provocative singer to heaven.

We open at the Verdi Club in Manhattan in 1944, where the welloff Ms. Jenkins is entertaining the big city culture vultures. Her husband, St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), a former actor, massacres a little Hamlet as an entr’acte before his wife and patroness Florence Foster Jenkins (Streep) assumes the stage. The hefty lady is the center of a playlet about the winged Angel of Inspiration visiting Stephen Foster, to bestow “Oh, Susanna!” upon him. (Happily, this was a real thing—Jenkins’ penchant for wearing angel wings on stage was due to her appearance as the star in this tableau.) The night is a success, though Florence is not a healthy woman and has to go to bed

early. St. Clair leaves to go spend the night elsewhere.

Jenkins is a patron of the conductor Toscanini (Christian McKay) who’d rather look the other way when Florence tries to get practice as a mezzo-soprano. She hires an accompanist, Cosme McMoon (Simon Helberg of The Big Bang Theory, the movie’s real standout); he little realizes he will be playing for a singer who is so cataclysmically off-key.

Jenkins’ career soars, greased with the help of her own money. She trades small practice rooms for the largest stages in New York, and her rise is contrasted with McMoon’s terror.

There used to be an expression, “all his features were working,” to describe

someone barely able to conceal their emotions. The explosively funny Helberg recalls such masters of working-features comedy as Eddie Bracken and Gene Wilder.

The handsome digitized recreations of midtown New York are charming.

Frears speeds it along with wipes, one scene elbowing another to the side.

Passages of effective farce emerge— Grant hiding his mistress from an unscheduled visit from his wife, while McMoon, half-dressed and walloped by his first hangover, tries to endure the surprise. But FFJ also contains the kind of farce that doesn’t snap—some labored business of St. Clair trying to hide all the newspapers containing a scathing review of Florence’s recital, written by a reporter who will become a big-name gossip columnist, Earl Wilson (John Cavanagh).

The film suggests that only disease could explain this remarkably strange career. And the serious turn of Nicholas Martin’s script is, ultimately, payback for the funny parts. Despite her reputation and her Oscars, Streep has greater gifts for comedy than tragedy—she’s most watchable when thwarted or fogbound or fatuous, with her gaga pussycat smile revealing pearly little teeth. She dresses for this part in a Mad Carlotta mantilla or a turban worthy of the one the Three Stooges’ Joe de Rita wore when impersonating a sultan. Streep does have a keen tragic moment—a pitiful phobia that shakes her suddenly, cracking her grande-dame composure.

Jenkins came from a time when high culture wasn’t overwhelmed by pop music. Her perfect awfulness may have been a keener joke, back before the budget cuts that humble the Toscaninis of today. I’ve heard it said that opera singers really can’t hear themselves sing. Jenkins had no excuse: she made recordings. She remains a mystery. This is an often hilarious film, but it flattens out.

Despite this, and the French-made pastiche of Jenkins’ life Margaret released earlier this year, the glorious enigma of Jenkins stands, defiant, ready to be cracked by a defter movie.

FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS With John Cavanagh, Hugh Grant, Simon Helberg, Christian McKay, and Meryl Streep. Written

by Nicholas Martin. Directed by Stephen Frears. PG-13, 110 mins.

Any film with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon

STRING TRIO Animals and eye patches in ‘Kubo and the Two Strings.’

can’t be too bad, right? Right? Paul Feig directs. (PG-13) 116 minutes.

ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE Considering it’s been 14 years since the first one came out, it might be time for the Ice Age franchise to come to an end. How exactly do you fight off a meteor anyway? Galen T. Chu and Mike Thurmeier direct. Stephanie Beatriz, Robert Cardone, Neil deGrasse Tyson co-star. (PG) 94 minutes.

JASON BOURNE There’s a new program and Jason Bourne knows everything! Wait … that sounds familiar. This time, though, he remembers who he really is (“I’m a real boy!”) and Alicia Vikander and bigger bang bangs and—who even cares, Jason Bourne is baaack.

Paul Greengrass directs. Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, and Alicia Vikander co-star. (PG-13) 123 minutes.

NINE LIVES In case you were wondering why Kevin Spacey was teaching a master class on acting, watch him become a cat. That’s how good he is. Barry Sonnenfeld directs. Jennifer Garner and Robbie Amell co-star. (PG) 87 minutes.

PETE’S DRAGON OK first things first: the ranger in this movie is

not Jessica Chastain—it’s Bryce Dallas Howard, and, yes, they look identical. Secondly, this is not Tarzan. It’s kind of like Tarzan but apparently a dragon helped the orphan boy survive in the wilderness, and somehow after six years living rogue, he still has the ability to easily converse in English despite having clearly missed the milestones necessary for speech development.

Oh, it’s a children’s movie, right.

Additionally, Robert Redford and State Sen. R. Clayton 'Clay' Davis from the Wire are here for the party, and we’re very excited. David Lowery (not the guy from Camper Van Beethoven) directs. Oakes Fegley costars. (PG) 102 minutes.

SAUSAGE PARTY Not the kind you were just thinking of—but better!

From the creators of Pineapple Express and This Is The End, it’s the devastating tale of one group of grocery store purchases finally discovering what they’re really meant for: consumption. Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon direct.

Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill co-star. (R) 89 minutes.

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS The only way we could be more excited about an entire animated

film about what pets do when their masters are away is if Liam Hemsworth was in it. Chris Renaud, Yarrow Cheney direct. Jenny Slate, Albert Brooks, Kevin Hart co-star.

(PG) 90 minutes.

THE SHALLOWS Two of our favorite things: Blake Lively and movies that make us terrified of shark attacks. That’s a joke. Still, an updating of way-out-of-proportion shark paranoia for modern audiences was probably inevitable.

SUICIDE SQUAD Bad people do some good in a long-awaited superhero film with a cast that’ll tickle any dedicated comicantihero fan’s fancy.

Sweet Relief A Soberanes Fire Relief Benefit at Earthbound Farm, plus a killer gluten-free brownie BY CHRISTINA WATERS

S

ome things look as good as they taste. Like the wares of the UCSC Farm & Garden Produce Cart, which offers a small and intimate salon of fresh harvest twice a week, filling in between the two larger farmers markets for those Westside dwellers who have to have it fresh.

Every Tuesday and Friday, noon to 6 p.m. during the summer and early fall, apprentices from the university’s flourishing Agroecology program pick, box up and set out

the latest examples of delicious fruit, herbs, veggies, and flowers from the campus’ hilltop farm. I can’t resist stopping by, along with many neighbors, university staff and students, to see what’s trending in our extremely local organics.

Last week the tables under the shaded canvas awning were attractively stocked with strawberries—the kind that exude a sweet tangy perfume—torpedo red onions, fat yellow potatoes, slightly smaller new red potatoes, green beans,

ribbed and curved suku cucumbers, old-fashioned zinnias, and lovely mixed baby greens. I especially like their pungent mixed mizunas, cresses, and arugulas which create a peppery dinner salad. Add fresh basil and you’re right in the middle of summer.

Corner of High and Bay streets, noon-6 p.m. Tuesday and Friday.

EARTHBOUND FIRE RELIEF While we’re talking about fresh and local, I invite you to join me at an especially choice event coming up on

One of those incredible bargains in the key of light, minerally white wine is the Vinho Verde by Gazela.

I discovered it at New Leaf several months ago for a mere $5.99. And, like any intelligent vinophile, I gambled that for $5.99 it could be merely decent and still a bargain.

But lo and behold, this lovely creature—so light in color as to be practically clear—proved to be a zesty, non-threatening partner to seafood, chicken, wheat chex (just seeing if you’re paying attention), Cheetos, Brie, and green olives.

Even now that the price has soared to a dollar more—it’s the deal of the decade at $6.99. I am hopelessly enamored and buy it by the halfcase. A young, refreshing tipple, this Portuguese doppelganger of Austria’s Grüner Veltliner weighs in at a breathtakingly low 9 percent alcohol. That’s breakfast wine, folks!

MORE GLUTEN-FREE We’re loving the lightly cheeseinflected baked crackers from Milton’s. I also adore the barely legal gluten-free brownie from Companion Bakeshop. Feather-light yet decadent, adorned with walnuts, barely sweet, tender as a baby’s youknow-what, this is the enlightened brownie of our region. $3.85 and worth every centavo.

LOVE AT FIRST BITE

Become a Sustainable Partner www.thefoodbank.org/partner

couple of weeks ago, I spent an evening quartering 13 pounds of organic Meyer lemons, dipping them into kosher salt and squishing them into a dozen half-pint Mason jars. I had never preserved lemons before, but I’d cooked with them often and fallen in love with their sunny acidity and the way they seem to boost any flavor. I was pretty sure I could do it without messing it up.

I probably wouldn’t have attempted it if it hadn’t been for my Food Exchange. Every other month for the last year, my group meets to give tasty things we’ve made to the 11 other households participating. It’s not a potluck— instead, you’re given an armload of treats to enjoy at home. I’ve walked away with lasagnas, simple syrups, soups, pickled everything, bottles of homemade wine, donuts, bagels, pasta sauce, flavored honey, family recipes and inspired first attempts.

Not all of us are great chefs, but we all use the opportunity to showcase something special, and I look forward to seeing what everyone will bring.

Being a member of a food swap has inspired me to cook more and try recipes that I’ve been putting off— challah a few months ago, now the preserved lemons. Not to mention the wonderful people I’ve met and the yummy things they’ve given me to eat.

My friend Mariah Sage started the group a few years ago as a way to engender community, motivate herself to cook more and move toward a more self-sufficient lifestyle—goals that have been deliciously met through methods I fully endorse.

STAYCATION

As much as I cherish the hidden gems of Santa Cruz, sometimes it’s fun to pretend you’re on vacation and play tourist in your own town.

Happy hour at Stagnaro Bros at the end of the wharf hit that spot a few weeks ago. I sat happy as a clam, chili-lime prawn taco in one hand and a $3 Santa Cruz Aleworks kolsch in the other, rotating occasionally to enjoy as much of the 180-degree ocean views as possible. No travel arrangements necessary. 59 Municipal Wharf, Santa Cruz. Open 11 a.m. daily.

MOUNTAIN FRUIT Aged in stainless steel, and grown on their own soil, Hunter

Hill Vineyard & Winery is excited to announce its first estate-grown Chardonnay.

Hunter Hill Soquel winery debuts first estate-grown Chardonnay BY JOSIE COWDEN

T

he new release of Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery’s estategrown Chardonnay 2014 is a special achievement for winery owners Christine and Vann Slatter.

“We are proud to present our first estate-grown Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay,” they say. Other Chardonnays produced by the winery have been made from fruit harvested elsewhere, and they are thrilled to now be tilling the soil around their very own Chardonnay grapes.

Aging in stainless steel has resulted in a bright and vibrant wine with zesty nuances. Green apple, Meyer lemon, pineapple, and a touch of caramel add an abundance of flavor—and it pairs well with many foods, especially seafood, chicken and soft cheeses.

This unoaked wine ($35) is just lovely by itself, too. Think of coming home from work and opening up a superb wine like this Chardonnay. Only 50 cases were produced, so I wouldn’t hesitate in getting some.

Looking out over the property on a recent visit, I admire all the work it has taken the Slatters over the years to make this “Garden of Eden.”

But the whole estate is now up for sale as the couple is moving on to other things. It includes nearly six

acres of vineyard land with ponds, a barbecue area, a garden, chicken coops (eggs and fresh produce are sold at the winery), a house and pool; plus wine-tasting room, vineyard tractors and more. Check the website for additional info.

In the meantime, until the winery is sold, the Slatters are still enjoying producing their award-winning wines and running the tasting room.

Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery, 7099 Glen Haven Road, Soquel, 465-9294. hunterhillwines.com. Tasting room hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

TWISTED ROOTS’ THIRD ANNUAL FUNDRAISER Sip award-winning wines and savor small bites to support MEarth, an environmental education nonprofit with roots in Carmel. Twisted Roots in Carmel Valley will hold its third annual fundraiser with Chef Brandon Miller of Mundaka in Carmel doing a paella cooking demonstration—and offering attendees tastes of paella.

The event is 5:30-7 p.m. on Aug. 25 and tickets are $50 per person. Reservations required. Visit twistedrootsvineyard.com for more info.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LEO WEARS A LION’S SKIN

Each of the 12 Labors (zodiacal signs and Gates) of Hercules is a story about the soul and the personality. Each sign describes a different relationship between the two. In Cancer, the personality (“dark light of matter”) awaited the light of the Soul. In Leo, the Soul appears and must learn to overcome the strong personality (wild lion laying devastation to the land).

Leo is the fifth gate, labor and task for Hercules. He is to overcome the Nemean Lion (personality). The people are afraid. Hercules is courageous, strong and brave—Leo qualities.

There are two lions in the story. One is the kingly lion, Hercules himself (the Soul). The other is the animal lion (the personality).

The animal lion (uncontrolled personality) is “destroying the countryside” (life of the human).

And so Hercules goes on his way, passing

through the fifth gate, alone and unafraid.

Eventually he hears the “Lion’s roar in all the land, especially in the evening air.” He comes upon a cave, and upon entering it faces the fierce lion whose breath is fiery hot. Hercules grasps the lion by the throat, until all the lion’s roars of hate subside. And Hercules overcomes the lion with his great courage, strength and act of will.

And the great Teacher, looking on, said to Hercules, “The lion is dead, Hercules, but lions and serpents must be slain again and again. You have done well. Rest now. For gate six (Virgo) opens soon.” In labor six, Hercules steps upon the shores of a great sea where no men can be found. Only a queen and her temple of virgins.

Hercules wears a lion’s skin. It informs the Teachers he is ready for testing and training.

The Sun enters Virgo Monday.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You may struggle mentally to maintain equilibrium between desires and what is actually possible. It’s good to study the subject of sacrifice—the first law of the Soul. At the center of sacrifice is Love. A paradox.

Love and sacrifice both come from the heart. We’re on Earth because we sacrificed to be here. You may feel that you’ve become a fiery warrior. Spiritual warriors always win.

It’s a spiritual practice, especially in Leo, to realize that you are valuable. Is this consideration difficult? If so make lists of all of your gifts, abilities, talents, kindnesses, good deeds, thoughts, ideas, plans, and givings. There you find value. Place the lists on your wall, reading them each day.

This knowledge balances you. It’s the beginning of your self-identity as a Goodwill server for humanity.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Aug. 17, 2016

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You assess all relationships in terms of value. You must also assess what you value and the values you offer others. Often you sense that there is more you can give. Always you begin with intentions for goodwill, which creates right relations. You offer the goodness of yourself in relationships. You know love isn’t a feeling.

Things, stars, people, sometimes go into hiding— especially you. Or you find someone else hiding away and make their acquaintance. There’s actually someone in your life who is very valuable to you. They’re knowledgeable and have the skills needed for your next creative stages. They are concerned with humanity’s future. Call forth all your resources, using them to help others. Then you begin to come out of hiding.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Tend to all things great, small and necessary in daily life. Observe all habits, agendas, and how you serve your world. We evolve step-by-step, beginning by tending to our physical, then emotional, then mental bodies. Then we progress to the Soul. Each day, brood, as a Soul, upon the service for the coming day. Emotions are then calmed. The full moon shines on you.

Life becomes subtler, slightly different, feelings of compassion awaken. Tend to debts and then give (tithe) to charity. Example of giving to those in need: St. Jude’s Hospital; Doctors Without Borders; UNESCO; American Red Cross, Heifer Project. These are difficult financial times. The spiritual law is that what we give is returned tenfold. When we give to others our life is cared for. You need care.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Ponder upon how you want to be seen, known and recognized in the world. Consider your identity as one that is helping to build the new culture and civilization.

Leos are to nurture the new era at its foundational stages because Leos are leaders. Begin to share with everyone your thoughts, ideas, resources and discoveries.

Cultivate all creative gifts. Leo’s talents must move from self to the community called humanity.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You’re coming into a new self-identity. It is filled with thoughts of goodness. It’s important to tend to the home. Its value is now and in the future. A certain set of teachings holds possibilities for greater love and wisdom.

This study allows you to enter into the life stream of humanity through understanding of the mysteries.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Things seem transformative at times, restricted at other times. Then joy comes from the garden through the door. Along with these “moods” a new identity is occurring. This identity is new to yourself. The river of life is gliding you downstream into new territories. Each day you help bring forth the new culture and civilization.

What interests you about this? What do you think is your part?

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You see the need for nourishment of self and others.

One source of nourishment is financial security in terms of home and land. Visualize a home on vast amounts of land. Include a workspace for the arts, cottages, gardens, trees, ponds, communal kitchen. See friends and loved ones close by. Work daily on this through visualization. Draw and paint it. Talk about it. These are the first anchorings of your dream.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 A return to previous, perhaps put-aside creative work allows you to reaffirm its importance in your life. There’s a renewed fire in the mind, calling you to two things: Laughter with a sense of play, much missed in your life since childhood. And a new level of creative work reflecting who you are now and who you are becoming.

All parts of you yearn for a close spiritual community. It will appear in its right timing. In paradise.

You reassess goals and aspirations for the next two months. Earth (soil, trees, plants) is very important for your well-being. Make sure you’re out and about in the Sun and nature—the most balanced kingdom.

Its radiations strengthen your heart and mind, and refocus your enthusiasm (“filled with God”), allowing calm practicality to emerge. Where is your garden and are the devas your companions?

CHRISTA MERCADO, 30-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Admin assistant, UCSC Hobbies: Family hikes, bike riding, crocheting, reading, cooking, volunteering Astrological Sign: Pisces

DEVA MERCADO, 25-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Network administrator, NHS Hobbies: Fishing, disk golf, playing with kids, huge SF Giants fan, cooking/barbecuing Astrological Sign: Aries What do you like to cook? DEVA: “I really enjoy using my smoker for ribs, pork shoulder, and more.

We also do Mexican and Italian food, and I like to bake.” CHRISTA: “I love making heart-warming comfort food such as stews, soups, jambalaya, and casseroles. We're big fans of the meat department. I love how everything is so fresh and that I can choose the cut that I want. The butchers are knowledgable and will slice things to order, like very thin for Philly cheesesteaks.” DEVA: “It’s great talking Giants baseball with some of the guys. They're just really friendly, and I appreciate the banter.” CHRISTA: “Shopper's is a vital part of the community.”

How so? DEVA: “It's a neighborhood hub where people come together and shop. Our kids, Ayden and Aubrey, like coming here because of the good food and very friendly staff.” CHRISTA: “Shopper's is not just for families. I know quite a few chefs and personal chefs because of all the cooking we do, and this is the only market where they'll shop.” DEVA: “Everything is better at Shopper's.” CHRISTA: “I like that the produce is always fresh and I can go conventional or organic. Shopper's brings in some of the more gourmet herbs and spices.”

DEVA: “They carry great local products such as Roberto's salsas, Santa Cruz Roasting coffees, Polar Bear ice cream, and Donnelley's chocolates, to name a few.”

Do you get good value for money spent here? DEVA: “Shopper’s is competitively priced when compared to the big box stores, and the quality of everything is so much better. If you’re looking for specialty products, you won’t find them cheaper… ” CHRISTA: “People who think Shopper’s is expensive don’t shop here, so I set them straight. It’s not just a gourmet or high-end store. Shopper’s has options for every department and every product.” DEVA: “It really is one-stop shopping.”

CHRISTA: “I like that I know where everything is, but it’s also a fun a experience discovering new things I haven’t yet tried. I run into people I know every time I shop here. Shopper’s feel like home.”

“People who think Shopper’s is expensive don’t shop here, so I set them straight. Shopper’s has options for every department and every product.”
