With their “Lonely Caravan” album set for official release this fall, Christiana Lawrence Youngs and Tyler Youngs — a married couple born and raised in New Albany — formed their duo in 2011 and Youngstown Parade two years ago, according to a news release from the band. Louisville musicians Steve Hawkes (drummer/percussion) and Cris Palma (bass) have since joined to round out the foursome’s eclectic-take on the trending Americana genre. Floridian Hawkes
previously toured in the south with Herd of Watts, while Palma performed in the Philippines before moving to the states. Although their songs lean more toward a folk sound, Christi and Tyler provide complimentary harmonies with Tyler also playing lead guitar to create the Americana blend of folk, rock and blues. Along with the up-tempoed, “Freedom,” “Lonely Caravan,” contains 10 tracks, including “Movin’ On” and “Take Kentucky with You,” which are currently featured on Crescent Hill Radio’s 100.9 WCHQ.
“Lonley Caravan” was recorded at New Albany Production House (NAPH) under the guidance of Cory Pollard and Richie Ray. NAPH is known for recording up-and-coming artists from Louisville metro and Southern Indiana artists such as Olivia Henken (attained top 10 finals on NBC’s The voice), Asterino Sisters (auditioned for NBC’s America’s Got Talent), Jackie Dee Small (featured on TLC’s My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding), Dusty Leigh (Billboard Chart Angelos) and more. David & Whitney Resch will be opening the show. NAPH is fast becoming the place to go for recording in Southern Indiana. With this debut album release, Youngstown Parade can now be added to this roster of talented local artists. Kicking off the release party at 10 p.m. will be Jacob Resch followed by Youngstown Parade at 11. Band T-shirts, CD’s, and other items will be available for purchase by the public.

With the CD not being a traditional one, in which the singer released it, Hall is having to work extra hard in promoting it.

The third in a series of exhibits features artist Wini Kemple Harrison. Wini Harrison, a native of Floyd County, is a private instructor for the Arts Council of Southern Indiana and Preston Arts Center. She received her B.A. from Indiana University Southeast, and has been and instructor for the past 15 years. “For me it begins with Red: Finding morels amid the rotting umbers and faint spring greens of the woods with my dad and storing them in a red knit cap; scraping my knee on terra cotta cobblestones and my grandma pouring on the mercurochrome or methylate (whichever hurt more). My earliest memories are ripe with color: Mom dressing me for in daffodil yellow and black patent leather taking my picture beside the lilac bush before Easter Sunday mass; my sister tanning by an aqua blue concrete pool, smelling of Coppertone and summer;my brother and I riding in a red radio flyer, drinking Grape Nehis,” Wini Harrison said in an Arts Council news release. “The old Sycamore, a white

But something else is at play here beside just an advanced case of ADD. I have taught painting for the past 15 years at Preston Art Center and have the privilege of earning a living doing what I love with the support of the family Preston. I have learned most of what I know about painting by teaching and about teaching by painting. So my subjects, methods and style vary with what I need to teach.”

Serving it up On the Rocks Q&A with Greg Wortham about KingFish’s new On the Rocks bar in the lower level of the restaurant Describe the inspiration behind On the Rocks: I would have to say the main inspiration behind the new concept was the space itself. It is arguably the best outside patio in the Kentuckiana area and was not being utilized to its fullest. The combination of the spectacular view of Downtown Louisville right on the bank of the water and a covered patio/bar makes it unlike any other around. It was a natural for a resort feeling bar and grill with live music. What do you hope to accomplish: There are several things that we hope to accomplish. First, we want to give people something a little different from the seafood themed menu upstairs with the hope of attracting new customers who may not have tried KingFish just because they don’t like seafood. While you can still get the fish sandwich that the company was founded on, you can also get gourmet hamburgers, fresh cut fries and fresh oysters, raw, grilled or fried. Second, we want to give people a place that they can not only get a great meal, but a place they can make a night of it by listening to the area’s top bands
while enjoying their favorite cocktail or just a soda. It can also be a great place to come even if you dine inside upstairs at KingFish. No better place for an after-dinner drink on a pretty summer night. Describe the inspiration behind the menu: Our inspiration with the menu was to keep it very simple so that every single item is off the charts. We would gladly put any of our burgers, the fries with homemade dipping sauces and the oysters against any in town. We are that confident. By keeping the menu rather simple we felt we could accomplish that. We do plan to expand the menu somewhat, but only if we
feel anything new meets that same criteria. Our chef is Kent Nanni. What can patrons expect to experience? Again we hope that it is a similar feel to being on vacation at a resort on the ocean somewhere. It is a very casual come as you are type of place. Nights with beautiful weather are obviously great, but even if it rains it can be a great place to be outside yet undercover. Contact info/Hours of operation: Address: 601 W.
