Married love triumphs in Beethoven’s only opera Sunday, Sept. 28 at the CCC Performing Arts Center It’s the same old story: Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Girl hopes to marry boy. Girl is unfortunately unaware that boy is in fact already wed — and also that boy is actually a disguised noblewoman who has infiltrated the prison overseen by girl’s father in order to rescue her husband, who is being held as a political prisoner in the lowest levels of the prison dungeon. So begins “Fidelio,” the only opera ever written by Beethoven. North Coast audiences will get the chance to experience “Fidelio” in person this Sunday, Sept. 21 when Eugene-based Cascadia Concert Opera brings the work to the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center in Astoria.

means that there are no sets, there are limited costumes and props, and that most often we use the score, so we have sheet music in our hands that we’re reading from,” Nelson says. Audience members get to watch the characters interact on the stage in a smaller setting than might be possible with a fully-staged production. “We’re right in their face so they can experience the huge power of the voice and really share an experience with the performers,” Nelson says. “There’s no particular way (audience members) have to act … no particular way to dress. We want people to actively take in our performances as much as possible.” In another effort at accessibility, the opera will be performed in English instead of the original German. According to Nelson, “with opera, there is an inherent understanding of many things” through music and expression. “But to really get the intricacies of what’s happening,” she says, “we don’t want our audience members to feel like they have to work too hard to get it.” Cascadia likes to provide Deac Guidi, bass-baritone, opportunities for local singers, Submitted photo will sing Rocco, the jailer and the group has enlisted area talent to play important parts in The performance is a benefit for Part- “Fidelio.” ners for the PAC, a group that works to The North Coast Chorale will be the maintain the building as an arts center. chorus of prisoners, and a leading role — Rather than a fully-staged opera, “Fi- that of Rocco the jailer — will be played delio” will be performed as a concert op- by local singer and CCC instructor Deac era, a less-formal version of the work.

the really, really bad guy. So this is really nice; this is more of a father role.” Carol Smith, who will sing in the chorus and also works with Partners for the PAC, emphasizes the importance of events like this one for the continued survival of the Performing Arts Center. “There are people who love the PAC because it’s part of their own history and people who love the PAC because we perform there,” Smith says. “Nothing matches the sound at the PAC. It’s an important asset to the community.” About “Fidelio,” Smith says, “It’s the triumph of married love; the music is beautiful.” Guidi goes a step further. “It’s Beethoven’s only opera, so it’s cool to sing it,” he says. “One of the singers called it ‘Mozart on steroids,’ which I think is perfect because it’s like Mozart, but about 700 times louder.”

Buoy’s German and Czech pilsners are excellent, as are its Cream Ale, ESB (Extra Special Bitter, an English style), and, well, everything the brewery makes.

Story by DWIGHT CASWELL

ast your mind back a few years, say 11,000 years or so, to the time when a woman invented beer, thousands of years before anyone thought of making wine. Back then we were just beginning to cultivate wheat, and who else but a woman would have noticed that something was happening to the stored grain when it got wet? We drank hefeweizen for 6,000 years or so, until another woman made barley beer. The ancient Sumerians celebrated her by making Ninkasi their goddess of beer. Of course, men muscled their way into the beer scene early on, and by Biblical times beer was thought of as the libation of rowdies, while wine was esteemed. Flash forward to the present: What has this long history of brewing led to? A festival FDOOHG WKH 3DFLÂż F 1RUWKZHVW Brew Cup, which will be held this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. While beer is a festive beverage, a festival needs more than beer, so there is plenty of food and a long lineup of live music. The Brew Cup is family- and dog-friendly, too, with plenty of activities for the kids. Dogs are good at inventing their own activities.

Rollin’ Thunder

Barbecue

Serving the best barbecue on the coast

If you haven’t noticed from my restaurant reviews in the last few months, I have something of a penchant for barbecue. Yes indeed, something about the smoke from a grill, the sweet tanginess of barbecue sauce, and the simple, down-home side dishes speaks to me, and I’ve therefore made it my personal quest to visit each and every barbecue restaurant on the coast. Both the CCR Smokehouse in Long Beach, Washington, and Junior’s Barbecue in Gearhart are relatively new restaurants that warranted a visit anyway, as I try to review each and every new establishment, but since I seemed to be on a barbecue bent, as it were, I decided to visit a place that has been in business in Astoria for eight years, but that I had never previously visited: Rollin’ Thunder Barbecue. The day I visited happened to also be one of the hottest days in Astoria that I can remember, ZLWK QR EUHH]H DQG WKH UHVWDXUDQW ZDV VWLĂ€ LQJO\ warm. Now, I don’t expect every local restaurant to have air conditioning, since we maybe have three or four exceedingly warm days on an DQQXDO EDVLV EXW WKH H[WUHPH KHDW DQG VWXIÂż QHVV inside the restaurant was off-putting. Making up for it, though, was the owner himself, behind the counter, who greeted my party as if we were old friends. He answered all my questions about every dish on the menu and even let me sample a few things before I committed to an order, which I thought was above and beyond your typical service. We settled, of course, upon a number of items. My favorite of the bunch was the smoked chicken plate: an enormous portion of tender, smoked chicken, with house-made barbecue sauce on the side. The chicken itself was savory and tender, and I appreciated that the sauce was served on the side (in barbecue terms, serving the sauce on the side is referred to as “Texas style,â€? although the owner informed me that he uses a Kansas City-

Although WKH\ ODFNHG D ELW RI Ă€ DYRU IRU PH WKH ULEV ZHUH extremely tender, juicy and fall-off-the-bone delicious. When it comes to ribs, I prefer them to be coated in sauce, mainly because I’m lazy and don’t want to dip each individual bite in sauce. This is, however, a minor complaint. Beef brisket was also quite tasty, although not as appealing as the chicken or the ribs. Pulled pork held more sway with me, shredded inside a hoagie roll. Unlike other local versions of pulled pork I have sampled recently, which have been somewhat tough, this was extraordinarily tender.

Ribs with beans, cornbread and potato salad were tasty. Served Texas-style, with the sauce on the side, the Mouth prefers ribs slathered in sauce.

Pork is surprisingly difficult to prepare well, if the desired end result is tenderness, and a lot of time and care must be spent in order to achieve it.

My hat is off to Rollin’ Thunder for doing such a commendable job. A barbecue “joint,â€? in my opinion, is only as strong as the side dishes it serves; the strengths of the various meats means nothing to me if the sides are not equally as tasty. I’m happy to report that the sides served at Rollin’ Thunder are, by and large, the best of those I’ve tasted locally. Foremost, to me, was the macaroni salad,

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photo by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: Open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. PRICES: Combo dishes are between $7 and $10, with prices topping out at $19.95 for a full rack of ribs with side dishes included — an absolute steal. SERVICE: We were served by the owner himself, who was above and beyond friendly. ATMOSPHERE: I wish this place could be spruced up,

since the food is so good. Posters of hot rods adorn the walls, which is fine, but the furniture is worn and outdated, and the carpet is stained. Some minor updates would do this place a world of good. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Apart from the sides, there are no vegetarian or vegan options. DRINKS: Soft drinks and sweet tea. Though not every restaurant needs to serve alcohol, a cold beer on such a hot day sure would have been nice.

and you cannot begin to fathom what a tremendous compliment this is from me, as I believe most macaroni salads to be 1950s-style, mayonnaise-drenched buffet-line food. This macaroni salad was special, though, with shell noodles, and, if I’m not mistaken, red onion and VZHHW SLFNOHV 7KHUH ZDV DQRWKHU Ă€ DYRU SUHV ent, though, not quite Southwestern and kind of Mediterranean, that made the salad really sing ² , FDQÂśW TXLWH SXW P\ Âż QJHU RQ LW ZKLFK LV both vexing and fun.

Regardless, Rollin’ Thunder gets my vote as the top barbecue on the coast.

What or who most inspired you to be an artist? When I was young, my brothers and I drew all the time. I drew animals, particularly horses; they drew boats, tanks and soldiers. My grandfather was an artist; my mother was very creative — we were always doing crafty things. But, recently in the last five years, a lady moved to Bay Center and started teaching art from her home. Janeen Schissler is an extremely talented artist and wonderful teacher. She inspired me to branch into color — watercolor and pastel, which I had never tried before. Unfortunately, she moved to Colorado two to three years ago when her husband lost his job teaching music at South Bend High School. She now has a successful school in Loveland, Colorado, with 120 students. What mediums do you prefer and why? For years I mostly worked in pen and ink or pencil. I only started using color after taking classes with Schissler. Now it depends on the subject matter; some things lend themselves more toward pastel, some to watercolor, or if I want lots of detail, pen and ink. If I want to get something done rather quickly I use pastel. Where do you gather inspiration for your works? I mostly love to draw animals, and there is so much wildlife here. Of course, the scenery where we live is spectacular, too. I also try to do a lot of sketching when we travel. Driving down the road, if the sky has amazing colors and clouds, I think how I would approach it as a painting. What, in your opinion, is the hardest step to creating a masterpiece? Initially, finding the time, then narrowing down the subject. There is so much out there. I have been trying to do a series on the oyster beds in Willapa Bay but haven’t had the time to get started. What’s your favorite art that someone else has done? There are so many amazing artists out there, both current and past; it is hard to pinpoint. I have always liked the impressionists. I also would love to be able to handle watercolor like Jeffrey Hull in Cannon Beach.

DAVE SHUR of FUTURE HISTORIANS

By RYAN HUME

Ecola >ܼ‫ ޖ‬No‫ ݜ‬lԥ@ noun

By RYAN HUME

1. an Oregon state park, located between Seaside and Cannon Beach; comprised of nine miles of rugged coastline studded with Sitka spruce forests that wraps around Tillamook Head 2. a restaurant and seafood market in downtown Cannon Beach 3. an interdominational, oneyear Bible school located on the grounds of the Cannon Beach Christian Conference Center

We spoke with Dave Shur, frontman of the Portland-based folk pop band Future Historians, about the past, his influences and his songwriting process. Future Historians will take the stage at the Pacific Northwest Brew Cup on the Astoria waterfront at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26. Learn more about the band and purchase or stream its records at www.futurehistoriansmusic.com Well, let’s start with a history lesson: How and when did you guys start playing together? What’s different now? In 2008 I recorded what came to be a self-titled Future Historians EP, then formed the band with friends and friends-of-friends to perform the material. Our first show was a five-song set for a Kinks tribute night. We started as a four-piece and now we’re five. The sound has constantly evolved and will continue to do so. Your latest album title, “Somehow it is Now,” expresses a sense of wonder that we are where are. Even the name Future Historians presents a clever collision between the past and the possible. What role, if any, does the passage of time, of memory, of possibility, play in your songwriting or worldview? Well, you pretty much nailed it with the question. Those themes have always fascinated me. I

Origin:

From the Chinook, ehkoli, or ékoli, meaning “whale.” The place name and spelling variant, ecola, is originally attributed to Capt. William Clark circa 1805-06. Early settlers renamed the creek and nearby community, Elk Creek. In 1922, the town of Elk Creek officially became Cannon Beach following the 1898 discovery of cannons washed ashore from the shipwreck of the USS Shark. Elk Creek was later renamed Ecola Creek to honor Clark’s legacy.

“Ecola had been so named when members of the Lewis and Clark expedition, climbing over Tillamook Head in the winter of 1805, saw a splendid beach spread out before them. Lying beside the mouth of a large creek was a dead whale, surrounded by Indians who were cutting off chunks of blubber. Captain Clark, who was looking for food for his men, bought 300 pounds of meat and some gallons of oil from the Indians. ‘Ecola,’ they kept saying — this was their word for ‘big fish’ — and Clark applied the name to the creek and the beach.” —Frederick Bracher, “Reminiscence: On Going to the Beach,” Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol. 93, No. 2, Summer 1992

thought of the name Future Historians as a kid and held onto it until I felt the moment was right. Existential, paradoxical questions are a driving force behind my songwriting. As a band we try to use classic pop idioms and twist them to make something that is hopefully new. I have heard Future Historians described as both folk pop and folk rock. I would place your sound in good company beside indie popsters like The Shins and Wilco, but with more traditional folk instrumentation, which reminds me of some of Loudon Wainwright’s more straightforward folk rock experiments. Not that labels really matter much these days, but who brings what to the table? What

The Future Historians perform 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26 at the Pacific Northwest Brew Cup with a 90-minute set. The Portland pop folk band will play some new songs, rarities and covers.

Keyboardist and newest member Wayne Pritzker is a rogue element in the best sense. I’m never sure what he will play or do on stage, but it is always, um, spirited. genre or aesthetic does your songwriting most comfortably emerge from? Do you have any major songwriting influences? The first common ground we had as players was Americana rock, like The Band and Neil Young. That had a lot to do with our original guitarist Andrew Stern. He has since

left the band to become an actual historian, which is sort of awesome. Our bassist Michael Doherty and drummer Rob Iggulden bring a love of edgier, more experimental bands like Sonic Youth and Deerhoof. Lead guitarist Charley

Adams has an ability to wail that can’t be contained, which is equal parts Grateful Dead and Black Sabbath. Keyboardist and newest member Wayne Pritzker is a rogue element in the best sense. I’m never sure what he will play or do on stage, but it is always, um, spirited. Ultimately we’re always just trying to play the most fun, creative arrangements of my songs that we can. One of my first, and still lasting, songwriting influences is Paul Simon. Do you approach an outdoor festival show like the one you are playing at the Pacific NW Brew Cup differently than you would a more intimate gig inside a club? I don’t know that we approach an outdoor show any differently, but our typical club set is 45 minutes, and this one is 90. We’ll be taking the opportunity to play some new songs, rarities and covers. Lastly, I have to ask because the name implies it: What’s next for the Future Historians? We have a new album, titled “Portrait of Self,” coming out Nov. 11. We’re so proud and excited to release it.
