Paprika Southern Recommends Our picks for what’s new and notable in arts and culture Gordon Parks: Segregation Story

Martin Parr: Life’s a Beach

Savannah Book Festival

Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta presents an exhibition of the works of photographer and filmmaker Gordon Parks. A giant in twentieth-century photography, Parks was one of the first African-Americans to carve out a successful career in both fine art and commercial photography. In addition to his significance as an artist and photographer, Parks’ documentary photographs confront the viewer with images of racism and poverty. Focusing on Parks’ photographs documenting American race relations and the Civil Rights Movement, Segregation Story takes a hard look at the realities of life for African-Americans before integration.

The Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, FL will present an Aperture Foundation-organized exhibit of the work of contemporary documentary photographer Martin Parr. Known for his quirky compositions, Parr’s work takes on everyday life in a vein reminiscent of William Eggleston. In this exhibition, Parr’s photographs of beaches, sunbathers, and beach culture are on display, including scenes of beaches in his native England as well as exotic destinations, like Brazil, Latvia, and Thailand.

The Savannah Book Festival, now in its sixth year, brings together an impressive roster of writers in one weekend. With headliners like southern favorite P.J. O’Rourke, bestselling mystery writer Janet Evanovich, and horror legend Anne Rice, with her son Christopher Rice, the Savannah Book Festival has arrived as a serious contender. The special headliner addresses are the only ticketed events, and all other author presentations with book signings are free and open to the public. Featured presenters include author of Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy Karen Abbott, comedian Patton Oswalt, PBS talk show host Tavis Smiley, and many more.

Show runs through March 14 at Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta, GA. Learn more here. www.paprikasouthern.com

Show runs February 7 - April 26 at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, FL. Learn more here.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS a Q&A with the Athens-based band

Images & Text by Siobhan Egan

F

amily And Friends Band will play at the Savannah Stopover in February. Some of the indie-folk-rock band’s members took time to talk about their music, influences and future plans to star on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Here’s some insight from Mike MacDonald, 24, Tuna Fortuna, 26, J.P. McKenzie 22, and Alejandro Rios, 23

Can you give a little background about how you all became a band?

MacDonald: I decided to take a year off after graduating college to pursue music. It had always been a hobby, and I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do. I figured I’d worked really hard in school throughout my life, and if there was ever a time to pursue my dreams, it was now. I started playing and writing with the drummers in an abandoned office-space turned practice-space.

McKenzie: I play electric guitar, but I also have experience in percussion where I do not excel in any way.

Fortuna: Bass. (Upright and electric) Where did you learn to play music?

MacDonald: My mom forced me into piano when I was 6. I had to set up a timer and play every day and it was miserable at the time, but it set up the foundation for everything that’s led to where I am today.

From reading to composing to learning new instruments, it was the first and most important stepping stone. Every other instrument I’ve learned has been selftaught because of my piano background.

McKenzie: I first learned the violin when page 18

Issue 19 / February 2015

Paprika Southern

I was in 3rd grade. After begging my parents to let me learn, they signed me up for lessons and started renting me a violin. I loved the instruments but hated going to lessons because I remember my teacher being really mean. Then in 4th grade, our music teacher at school decided to start teaching us guitar. I remember loving it but I really wanted to play percussion, so in 5th grade I signed up for percussion. I played percussion through High School; however, somewhere along the way my cousin gave me my first guitar and I became obsessed with the instrument and the soundscapes it could create. I quickly started learning all of the hit songs like “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life),” and other songs that the ladies would recognize. Since then playing guitar has become a huge passion of mine.

Fortuna: Older brother taught me guitar.

Rios: High school/marching band

Are there any instruments that you don’t play that you would love to learn?

MacDonald: The rest of them. www.paprikasouthern.com

page 22

And drums.

McKenzie: I would love to learn how to correctly play a harp, a lap steel, a piano, a harpsichord, a didgeridoo, an oboe, and a hammered dulcimer.

Fortuna: I’m learning the drum, but I’d really love to learn the piano.

Rios: Piano, bass. All of them Have you always wanted to be a musician?

MacDonald: I’ve always known I’ve wanted music to be a major part of my life, but it wasn’t until graduating college that I even considered pursuing as a career. I used to be a pretty straight-laced kid. Growing up, I guess I always thought I’d take the business route, rise the skyscraper ranks. It’s funny how college can change you, for better or for worse. Now that page 23

we’ve started getting our foot in the industry door, I’m scratching and clawing every day to prevent ever going back to the real world.

McKenzie: Absolutely, I remember day dreaming in middle school and high school about being on tour. I had a few DVD documentaries of my favorite bands like The Used and Taking Back Sunday of their time on tour, and it looked like so much fun getting to be with your best friends all of the time and playing music. It truly is the most wonderful thing.

Fortuna: Yes and no.

I’ve always wanted to play music as much as possible, but I’ve only recently come to grips with the idea of being professional.

Rios: I always wanted to be a musician but not always as a career, never thought it would be possible until a year ago. www.paprikasouthern.com

Paprika Southern

Where do you find both musical and non-musical inspiration?

MacDonald: There’s a lot of inspiration that comes from listening to other music. A lot of times if I get stuck in a writing rut, I like to think how some of our musical inspirations might write their way out of it. Outside of the music realm, so much inspiration comes from everyday life. Everything.

How I’m feeling, dayto-day interactions, relationships. Everything.

I know there are some writers that sit down and write like a footrace, start to finish. Not me, I throw out everything inside of me onto a page and then put the puzzle back together. I like to think it ends up making songs that are more coherent tonally, but it may be that it just helps me sleep at night.

watching really talented people play. I can remember specifically watching Typhoon’s Audiotree session and just thinking “I have to get my guitar right now and play.” Also, just listening to any music can inspire me to want to create. As far as non-musical inspiration, I find myself most inspired when I am outside in beautiful places or around people I love. Whenever I feel fulfilled, is when I feel most comfortable creating. I enjoy meditating, and that often inspires me to write.

Fortuna: Through mental focus. Honestly nothing inspires me more than actually taking time to breath and collect my perceptions. I think even the most menial tasks can become artistic given the right mind.

Rios: I draw inspiration from my friends and my McKenzie: I find my connection with the unimusical inspiration in verse. www.paprikasouthern.com

What music are you into today?

MacDonald: There’s so much good music out there. Originally, I was listening to The Head And The Heart and The Oh Hellos, but lately I’ve been deep into Lord Huron, Dr Dog, Benjamin Booker, a lot of Motown from back in the day.

The Staple Singers have been on repeat. Locally, Semicircle out of Athens, an offshoot of Reptar has been my go-to Winter album. Most of all, I can’t stop listening to The War On Drugs new album.

McKenzie: I am into a lot of things right now, The Oh Hello’s and Typhoon are the first people to come into mind. I have also been on a huge Ben Howard and Brand New kick. I am really into instrumental music like Aural Method. I love ambient and post-rock music.

Fortuna: Man. I’m all page 24

Top three artists right now for me are probably Pattern is Movement, The Strange Boys and Angel Olsen. Locally I’ve been digging on Roadkill Ghost Choir and Semicircle. Stoked to see them again in Savannah.

McKenzie: I am expecting a lot out of Savannah Stopover, I have heard so many great things about this festival and I have so much respect for Peter and Kayne. I am super excited to see What Moon Things, Diarrhea Planet and Semicircle, Triathlon, Cusses, and I am always excited to see our friends Reptar tear it up as well as being reunited with Blank Range.

Rios: Typhoon, Lord Huron, Youth Lagoon, Modest Mouse, Drake

What are your expectations for the Savannah Stopover Festival? Which performer(s) are you Fortuna: Diarrhea most excited to see? Planet, and Semicircle.

MacDonald: I can’t get enough of Savannah. To mix amazing music with an amazing city in a festival environment is a dream come true. From a music perspective, I’m stoked to see Diarrehea Planet, Generationals, Reptar, Semicircle, Grand Vapids, Blank Range, Clear Plastic Masks, and so page 25

Rios: Savannah is a great town so I’m excited to just be down there and be surrounded by great music. Definitely most excited for Generationals, and our hometown friends Reptar.

McKenzie: I think next for Family And Friends is opening a small bakery in the Yiddish country side. There have been talks amongst the members and it just feels right.

Fortuna: The Ellen Degeneres show for sure.

Beyond that... Well is there even a beyond that? We have some recordings we are gonna release soon. Other than that, we’re starting to write for an album that’ll probably be out in 2016.

nspired by Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope, we decided to throw a Galentine's Day party this year. We love the idea of combining the festive trappings of Valentine's Day with a day celebrating our closest lady friends. We served up sweet treats and sparkling cocktails as an accompaniment to an afternoon of crafting.

We hope you'll be inspired to throw your own Galentine's Day party!
