A NEW VOICE FROM THE OLD WEST:

CROSS THAT RIVER

Dolly’s cover really got his creative juices fl owing. And it helped that he also had a deeply personal source of inspiration for the story of Blue, the black cowboy and the focus of Cross That River. Growing up, Allan would spend time on his grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania, where men of color worked with cattle and where a young Allan could ride horses all summer long. But when he went back to Brooklyn, where surely a farm of any sort seemed hard to imagine, he was made fun of because no one had ever heard of a Black cowboy. But that time spent on his grandfather’s farm stayed with Allan and would eventually serve as inspiration for Cross That River. He also gathered inspiration from the works of William Katz, the life of Bass Reeves, and even from the Black American West Museum here in Denver. We all have an idea of the Old West— cattle drives and saloons and shoot-outs at dusk. We all have an idea of what the men and women of the Old West looked like, even if our idea is mostly from John Wayne movies. Cross That River: A Concert About the Black West, coming to LTAC on January 18, 2020, will challenge your idea of the Old West and expand it for the better. Allan Harris, both the star and writer of the show, got the inspiration for Cross That River from a somewhat unexpected source. When in the Rocky Mountains, he heard Dolly Parton covering the old jazz standard “I Get a Kick Out of You.” He’d had the idea of a piece that incorporated jazz and country, two inherently American genres of music, and hearing

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

Originally conceived as a song cycle on a trilogy of albums, the production of Cross That River has seen many different iterations. With each production, it grew in its theatrical nature, but the production here at LTAC is taking Cross That River back to its roots—just musicians and vocalists on a stage, sharing a profound and moving story through music. It’s a show that will broaden your horizons and will inspire a sense of camaraderie with everyone else experiencing the show with you. Sponsored by

PROFILE

WILL ACKERMAN AND WINDHAM HILL RECORDS Windham Hill Records came from humble beginnings. In 1975, Will Ackerman was playing guitar music for his friends around Stanford University and they all wanted a way to take Will’s music with them. They pitched in money for him to record an album and that album, titled In Search of the Turtle’s Navel, became the fi rst recording of what would eventually become Windham Hill Records. In 1976, the label was offi cially founded by Ackerman and Anne Robinson. At fi rst, the artists on the labels were friends and family of Ackerman, but it quickly grew. The mainstream music culture had a hard time nailing down what genre the artists of Windham Hill fell into—were they folk? Jazz? New Age? The mostly instrumental music coming from the label was hard to defi ne but gained a steady following. Ackerman himself discovered some of the label’s most popular artists, like Michael Hedges, and produced their albums on the label. As the label grew, they started to break into the mainstream. A handful of Windham Hill artists broke onto the Billboard Pop Chart—the fi rst was George Winston, and Shadowfax later had albums that entered the Pop Chart. Windham Hill also had samplers that would place on the Billboard Pop Chart featuring various

LONE TREE ARTS CENTER

artists who had sent their demos to the studio. The artists on the label continued to conquer the Billboard New Age charts. Windham Hill artists were vanguards of their craft. As founder, Ackerman was the driving force behind the label. But as the company grew, he started to feel like it was heading a direction that wasn’t necessarily the same way that he wanted to go. By 1992, he sold his share of the company, but he didn’t stay out of the record-label realm for long. After a threeyear non-compete agreement had run its course, he started Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont. This new studio allows him to be much more hands-on with producing than he was in the latter days of Windham Hill. Be transported by Will Ackerman, and three guitarists that were handpicked by Ackerman himself for this one of a kind concert experience.

After leaving the bright lights of the stage to start a family, Kelli is now a staple in the NYC cabaret world. Her first solo cabaret show debuted to a sold out crowd at Feinstein’s/54 Below and since then, she’s been featured in shows ranging from Sondheim to Streisand to Bernstein. She now performs regularly with symphony orchestras stretching from Calgary to Mazatlán and all across the country in Blockbuster Broadway, Music of the Knights, and The Wonderful Music of Oz. Recent highlights include debuting an original song written by David Friedman and Kathie Lee Gifford on the Today Show and recording the PBS American Songbook segment “Stephen Schwartz and Friends,” featuring the composer himself at the piano and Kelli singing one of his signature songs from Wicked, “The Wizard and I.” Scott Coulter is one of New York’s most honored vocalists. For his work in cabaret, he has received five MAC Awards (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs), five Bistro Awards, and two Nightlife Awards for Outstanding Vocalist. He has performed at most of NYC’s top rooms including Birdland, 54 Below, The Oak Room at the Algonquin, and Feinstein’s at The Regency, where he spent a record-setting eight months performing the revue 11 O’clock Numbers at 11 O’clock which he also co-created, directed, and musically arranged. His self-titled debut CD won the 2003 MAC Award for Outstanding Recording and was chosen as the best recording of the year by TheatreMania and Cabaret Scenes magazines. Scott was director and star of A Christmas Carol: The Symphonic Concert in its world premiere with the Baltimore Symphony and reprised his performance in the Emmy-nominated PBS production which premiered in December 2013. He was an Emmy nominee himself for his performance in American Song at NJPAC. Scott regularly performs in concert both as a solo artist and with a variety of legendary performers including Stephen Schwartz, Tony-winner Ben Vereen, and Grammywinner Sheena Easton, and has performed with symphonies all over the world including San Francisco, Baltimore, Seattle, Phoenix, Detroit, Winnipeg, St. Louis, and Calgary. Since 1997, Scott has performed with award-winning songwriting duo Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich in their many award-winning revues.

While singing with Goldrich and Heisler, he was discovered by Oscarand Grammy-winning composer Stephen Schwartz, who then invited him to join the revue Stephen Schwartz & Friends. That revue (starring Schwartz and Coulter along with Liz Callaway and Tony Award-winner Debbie Gravitte) has been performing all over the world since 1999. Scott is creator, arranger and director of several touring shows (symphonic and non-symphonic) including Music Of The Knights, The Wonderful Music Of Oz, Blockbuster Broadway! and, for The ASCAP Foundation, Jerry Herman: The Broadway Legacy Concert. As a director his credits include many shows for The Town Hall in NYC and Broadway by the Way for The Berkshire Theatre Festival and Broadway by the Bay. Along with Michael Kerker and ASCAP, he’s a regular producer/director of Michael Feinstein’s Standard Time at Carnegie Hall. Scott recently wrote the book for the new musical Got to be There which celebrates the life and music of songwriter Elliot Willensky. Scott is founder/owner of Spot-On Entertainment and is a resident director of programming at 54 Below (Broadway’s Supper Club) in NYC. He is the artistic director of the Pocono Mountains Music Festival and a proud graduate of the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

Take Me to the River New Orleans LIVE! Monday, October 14 at 7:30pm Celebrating over 40 years since their founding in 1977, New Orleans-based

Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres including bebop jazz, funk, and R&B/soul. This unique sound, described by the band as a ‘musical gumbo,’ has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than 30 countries, record 12 studio albums and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Forty-plus years later, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world-famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances. In 1977, The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club in New Orleans began showcasing a traditional Crescent City brass band. It was a joining of two proud, but antiquated, traditions at the time: social and pleasure clubs dated back over a century to a time when black southerners could rarely afford life insurance, and the clubs would provide proper funeral arrangements. Brass bands, early predecessors of jazz as we know it, would often follow the funeral procession playing somber dirges, then once the family of the deceased was out of earshot, burst into jubilant dance tunes as casual onlookers danced in the streets. By the late ‘70s, few of either existed. The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club decided to assemble this group as a house band, and over the course of these early gigs, the seven-member ensemble adopted the venue’s name: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

Ivan Neville and Ian Neville, members of Dumpstaphunk, stand out among New Orleans’ best as part of one of the funkiest bands to ever arise from the Crescent City. Born on the Jazz & Heritage Festival stage, and descended from Neville family bloodlines, these soldiers of funk ignite a deep, gritty groove that dares listeners not to move. Their performances combine ingenious musicianship and complex funk and jazz arrangements. Ivan has played and appeared on several Neville Brothers records and two Rolling Stones albums, as well as his father Aaron Neville’s solo records. He has performed in Bonnie Raitt’s band and was a member of Keith Richard’s solo band, the X-Pensive Winos. With Dumpstaphunk, Ivan and Ian have performed on the Late Show with David Letterman and become mainstays at music festivals across the country. Walter “Wolfman” Washington has been a mainstay on the New Orleans music scene. He cut his teeth backing up some of the best singers and performers in New Orleans history before putting together his long-time band The Roadmasters, who have been burning down and burning up local and national stages since their first gigs in the 1980s. His guitar style combines both rhythm and blues, blues, New Orleans funk, and modern jazz into a way of playing that is uniquely his. His singing is emotional and heartfelt. His guitar work is intricate, intimate, and full. There is a little Bobby Blue Bland, a little Kenny Burrell, a little George Benson, a little church, and a lot of New Orleans charm and experience in a Walter “Wolfman” Washington performance. They are known for doing their own soulful originals and then tackling some great unsung covers such as Johnny Guitar Watson’s “You Can Stay But That Noise Got To Go,” Otis Redding’s “Nobody’s Fault But Mine,” and Bill Withers’ “Use Me.” And in this day and age of musicians imitating the past or trying to recreate it, The Wolfman stands out as a musician steeped in the history but completely contemporary. Few musical acts, if any, do what he does. He is real, authentic, and unique. Joseph Pierre “Big Chief Monk” Boudreaux is the New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian phenomenon who is part music, part heritage, part ancestry, part revelry, part fashion, and oft misunderstood. Boudreaux is one of the most famous and enduring leaders of that culture and head of the Golden Eagle Mardi Gras Indian tribe. Born in New Orleans on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1941, Boudreaux is a vital figure in the tradition, and has steadfastly distinguished himself as a gifted folk artist and dynamic performing musician through his unwavering dedication to

this singular African American culture. Boudreaux is known for his long-time collaboration with Big Chief Bo Dollis and the Wild Magnolia group, though he left the group nearly a decade ago to form the Golden Eagle Mardi Gras Indians. His latest album, Rising Sun, is a collaboration with the late Reverand Goat Carson, a professed “Renegade Cherokee.” In 2016, Boudreaux was given the lifetime honor of the National Heritage Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts. Big Chief Romeo Bougere of the 9th Ward Hunters is a regular at the legendary Tipitina’s and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. With the 79ers Gang, he has also performed with the Stooges and Papa Mali. Martin Shore (Director/Producer/Writer) is an award-winning filmmaker and Grammy-nominated producer/musician. He began his career as a musician. Mr. Shore has toured with Bo Diddley, Albert Collins, Bluesman Willie, and many others. He has produced soundtracks and has acted as music supervisor for a number of feature films, including SAW, SAW II, RIZE, and Rock School, among others. He has been a music producer for a variety of artists, including Snoop Dogg, G-Eazy, Yo Gotti, Mavis Staples, Booker T. Jones, North Mississippi Allstars, and many other. As a feature film producer, Shore’s films have been featured in many international film festivals around the world, including Cannes, Tribeca, Sundance, South by Southwest, Raindance, and the Los Angeles Film Festival. A partial list of his credits as film producer include: Hood of Horror (2006), starring Snoop Dogg; Michael Cuesta’s Tell Tale (2009), starring Josh Lucas and Lena Headey, and produced with Ridley and Tony Scott; Julie Delpy’s The Countess (2009), starring Delpy and William Hurt; 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010); and Dark Tide (2012), starring Halle Berry. As a Grammy-nominated producer and musician, Mr. Shore has toured most recently with Cody Dickinson and his band Hill Country Revue, and just finished a 40-city tour with Take Me to the River Live! featuring William Bell, Bobby Rush, and Charlie Musselwhite. He is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Sciences (Grammy Awards) and the Producers Guild of America.

Take Me to the River (2014), Mr. Shoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut film as a director, won the Audience Award at SXSW, Best Film at Raindance London, and numerous other awards (eight other festivals around the world). He is the founder of the Take Me to the River Education Initiative, a nonprofit 501c3 that provides common core curriculum in both history and social studies, and is part of the permanent curriculum in schools across the country including New York City public schools, with a mission to bring art, culture, and music back into public schools. Their education partner is the Berklee College of Music. The New School in NYC has recently committed to building a college credited course beginning in the fall of 2018. Mr. Shore has been a guest lecturer at colleges across the country and did a residency at the Berklee College of Music campus in Valencia Spain. His follow up film, Mad Hannans (2018), recently won Best Documentary at the Manchester Film Festival.

Social by Nature With Biologist and Photographer Ronan Donovan Friday, October 18 at 10am and 8pm Ronan Donovan is a born explorer. He inherited his sense of adventure and love of the natural world from his parents, who once sailed across the Atlantic. From his birth in rural Vermont in a cabin his father built, Ronan’s life has been a series of adventures. Ronan taught himself photography and filmmaking while working on a series of wildlife biology projects. In 2014, feeling he could make more of an impact through his visual storytelling than as a biologist, he turned to photography and filmmaking full-time. His photographic journeys for National Geographic include an entire year living inside Yellowstone National Park documenting the life of wild wolves, hiking volcanoes to photograph mountain gorillas, and documenting the human-wildlife conflict between wild chimpanzees and humans in Africa. His film work has aired on PBS’s Nature and on the BBC. He’s traveled to all seven continents, and in 2017 he was accepted into the Photo Society of National Geographic. His photographs have hung on the walls of the Natural History Museum in London and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington. His unique ability to tell the stories of the animals he focuses on elicits compassion in a relatable way and engages people for conservation Photography allows him to give a voice to his subjects.

We’ve got plenty of shows for every taste, from country western to doo wop to choral and classical music, so you won’t want to miss celebrating the holidays here at the Arts Center. Our perennial theatrical production, Home for the Holidays, is all new this year. Home for the Holidays is an exciting and heartwarming family-friendly variety show produced in association with Chris Starkey. In addition to hearing your favorite holiday songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s through today, you’ll see spectacular dancing, and of course, appearances by the man himself, Santa! Home for the Holidays has become an Arts Center tradition, and you won’t want to miss this joyous celebration of the season! If you’re looking for a particular type of holiday music, you’re also in luck. We kick off the season with Arts Center favorite Riders in the Sky, celebrating Christmas the Cowboy Way.

From Summit To Sea: Andy Mann Friday, September 27, 2019 at 10am and 8pm Award-winning ﬁ lmmaker and photographer Andy Mann uses his work to bridge the gap between science and policy. From his early days as a rock climber to his current passion documenting the critically endangered oceanic whitetip shark, his stunning images tell the story of our rapidly changing planet, from top to bottom.

Social By Nature: Ronan Donovan Friday, October 18, 2019 at 10am and 8pm What’s a human? We are, at our core, social mammals. We build relationships, communicate, reproduce, establish territories, and adapt to shrinking resources. In these ways, we’re no different than other social mammals. Chimpanzees, wolves, and gorillas are among the most charismatic of the mammals we know. We identify with them as species, groups, and even as named individuals. They’re also under threat. Join biologist-turned-photographer Ronan Donovan as he talks about his work in documenting these animals and what we, as fellow social mammals, can learn from them.

Life on the Vertical: Mark Synnott

Photo: Jared Ogden

Friday, December 27, 2019 at 8pm Mark Synnott is a man ever on the brink of new discovery. A big wall rock-climber of the highest order, he’s made legendary fi rst ascents of some of the world’s tallest, most forbidding walls, from Baffi n Island to Pakistan. Today, he uses his skills to break scientifi c ground, reaching incredibly inaccessible environments in search of rare species. It’s all in the spirit of adventure and exploration in order to educate about these sites of strange, remote beauty.

Photography Without Borders: Annie Griffiths Friday, January 17, 2020 at 8pm In the English countryside, celebrated photographer Annie Grifﬁ ths produced a witty story on the Calder Valley Mouse Club showing the art of staging a beauty pageant for rodents. In Namibia, she spent time with a tribe surviving in the Kalahari Desert despite seven years of drought. But after a career covering all of the weird and wonderful facets of humanity in more than 100 countries, she has turned her creative energies toward supporting programs that empower women and children in the developing world.

Day To Night: Stephen Wilkes Friday, March 13, 2020 at 8pm Photographer Stephen Wilkes built his career capturing iconic images meant to inspire and create change. The nostalgia of California’s Highway 1. The decay of Ellis Island. The ravages of Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy. In his most deﬁ ning project, Day to Night, he photographs the changing of time from a ﬁ xed camera position over the course of a full day and seamlessly blends the results into a single photograph—capturing fl eeting moments of humanity as light passes in front of his lens.
