Prescott

PULSE For a relatively small community Greater Prescott has an astoundingly vibrant music scene. You can hear live music pouring out of bars, saloons, breweries, clubs, coffeehouses, restaurants, concert halls, parks, galleries and anywhere else a crowd might form. Every month we’re putting a different local act in the spotlight.

PRESCOTT PULSE: BAND SPOTLIGHT

Dirty Halos Prescott Now: How long have you been playing?

Dirty Halos: Our current lineup of Kenn Duncan, vocals and guitar; Chris Bennett, lead guitar and vocals; Anton Teschner, bass and vocals; Steve Nelson, drums; and occasionally Drew Hall, guitar and vocals, has been playing together for just about one year.

Kenn and Drew started writing and playing together in 2017, got a band together and recorded an album of originals called No Agenda in 2019. That incarnation of Kenn, Drew with Gigi Gonaway on drums and Marcus Weeden on bass only played a few shows before the

36 Prescott NOW Vol. 11, No. 11

lockdown started in 2020. The CD copies of our album arrived the day after the lockdown started.

As things began to open back up, lives had changed.

Kenn and Chris met in 2021, became fast mates. We started playing together, working and playing open mics. Soon Anton and Steve rounded out the lineup.

Prescott Now: What genre or genres of music do you play? What about them inspires you?

Dirty Halos: We usually say we play indie rock with an Americana flair.

We draw our covers from almost every era of music from the 60s through today, bands like Men At Work, Eurythmics, Inxs, Elvis Costello and Elvis Presley, Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, Jackson Browne to Ryan Adams, Gov’t Mule, JJ Grey, Wilco and the Drive-By Truckers.

Our original music follows in the footsteps of all these influences, so you will hear hints and connections to both songs of yesteryear as well as modern bands in our songs.

Prescott Now: What is the key to being a successful musical act in Prescott and Northern Arizona?

PRESCOTT PULSE: BAND SPOTLIGHT

Dirty Halos: Prescott has been amazing, the music community here is incredibly supportive, all the musicians we’ve come across always ready to help, make suggestions on venues and love getting to play music with each other.

I must include venues as well; we’ve been lucky to tap into a few spots that bring us in regularly, and that’s been an amazing help in building our band.

Prescott Now: What’s the smallest audience you’ve played for; the biggest?

Dirty Halos: Chris and Kenn played a small event to support U.S. vets, just about 25 people, and our post lockdown album release party we had about 130 to 150 listeners, dancers and partiers. No matter the size of the crowd we really love to bring it.

Prescott Now: Where do you find your inspiration for your songwriting, performances?

Dirty Halos: So much of our inspiration comes from the music we all listen to individually and together. In the original material Kenn says, “I have to say I also draw from just real-life experience, my own and my friends and family. Our original song Worst Enemy was written in a Prescott bar on Whiskey Row as I was waiting for my turn to play at an open mic. Back then I was very green and hopping up to play music was still very foreign, it occurred to me that sometimes I was my own worst critic…. enemy.

Also there have been times when I’ve read stories or seen movies that inspire songs.”

Prescott Now: What brought you to Prescott?

Dirty Halos: We all converged on Prescott for different reasons, at different times, Chris being the newest here just four years now and coming the farthest; he hails from Wolverhampton, England.

Anton and Steve have played in Prescott for many years. Kenn started playing music later in life about 10 years ago.

So as a band we formed right here in Prescott, meeting through music at shows and open mics etc.

Kate Cory - Arizona’s Pioneer Artist

A Portrayal By Brenda Cusick Experience hearing from Territorial Pioneer Kate T. Cory in full costume as she shares her journey from “Gilded Age” NYC to the bare and minimal Mesas of the Hopi. How did a “spinster” manage that transition? Did the Hopi invite her to join them in their Pueblo? Why did she not join the tribe when they offered her this honor? Presenter Brenda Cusick will reveal details of Cory’s life in Orabi, Walpi and as a teacher to the children of Hopiland.

In the second part of her presentation, older Kate T. Cory will expound on why she moved to Prescott. What made her return to NY and help with the “Great War to End All Wars”. What other kind of art did she create - and what other museums hold them? Cory reflects on her time, art, triumphs and failures as she nears the end of her life and heads to the Pioneer Home in this “real life” portrayal of a Prescott powerhouse who started Prescott as the art town that it is today.

Kate T. Cory was instrumental in helping design the Museum of Indigenous People’s building (aka “Smoki”). Her art was commissioned by the Santa Fe Railroad, the Department of the Interior and 25 of her pieces are in the Smithsonian.

LOCAL MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Sellers' market persists in Quad Cities Housing Market Total sales in the Quad Cities in September took a slight dip year-over year, falling 5.9 percent, according to the Multiple Listing Service of the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS® (PAAR). The median home selling price in the region was $475,500 in September while closed sales totaled 270.

Prescott Valley posted the largest growth in home sales locally, with a nearly 34 percent increase from last year for a total of 95 homes sold in September. In Prescott, 128 homes sold last month, just 16 less than this time last year. Months of inventory in both towns remained low, though Prescott Valley’s inventory of just 2.5 months was significantly lower than Prescott’s 4.1 months.

Prescott posted the highest September median selling price at

$510,000 while homes went under contract in a median time of 27 days.

Meanwhile, Prescott Valley’s median sales price grew by 0.5 percent from a year ago to reach $462,400 in September. Homes there spent a median of 25 days on the market.

“Homebuyer demand remains exceptionally strong throughout the Quad Cities with the steady increase in local home prices reflecting a healthy and desirable real estate market,” said Faye Humphrey, PAAR’s 2023 President.

“We anticipate it will continue to be a competitive market with the balance tipped toward sellers throughout the remainder of this year.”

Chino Valley had the greatest median sales price increase in the region, jumping up to $381,100 with 25 closed home sales. Dewey-Humboldt

had 22 closed home sales, just four less than this time a year ago. The median sales price was $372,500.

There were 952 homes listed for sale in the Quad Cities at the end of September, a three percent decrease from the September 2022 total of 984.

GLASSFORD SUMMIT TRAIL IS

Short, Steep Workout

by Blake Herzog

Prescott has the famed 100mile network of scenic multiuse trails, but the Town of Prescott Valley has one of the shorter but tougher treks around in the Glassford Hill Summit Trail.

It’s 4.2 miles round-trip and carves a path along the scrubby

102 Prescott NOW Vol. 11, No. 11

surface of this landmark of central Greater Prescott, with a nearly continuous incline punctuated by eight switchbacks. Each has a bench for those who need to take a break on the way up or down. Many users appreciate its convenient location and quick

turnaround for a strenuous workout.

The trail is well-graded, though rocky in spots, and wide enough for you to comfortably pass other users when needed. It’s labeled as a “primitive” trail by the Town but does have a few interpretive signs about its geologic and

civilizational history, plus three iron horse sculptures grazing on the grassland. There is a restroom facility at the trailhead.

The trail’s first mile isn’t as steep as the second as it proceeds toward the north face of the hill, providing a close-up view of the grassland that for too many is just drive-thru country on the way to Interstate 17. After you pass the Town’s water tower the incline really kicks in, presenting a true fitness challenge for those who hike, and especially those who run, the remaining mile.

Those who reach the summit are rewarded with 360-degree views of Prescott Valley, Prescott

and the surrounding mountains, helpfully labeled with metal signs cut to mimic their shapes.

There’s also a historical display and, at trail’s end, a couple of picnic tables where the vistas are the most outstanding.

The lack of shade on most of the trail makes carrying water and wearing sunscreen a necessity year-round. The trail is also popular with night hikers seeking cooler weather and starlight, but users should be aware of the wildlife at all times of day — rattlesnakes on the trail, yes, but also pronghorn and antelope, plus lizards and other smaller critters.

GLASSFORD HILL SUMMIT TRAIL This trail winds around the side of Prescott Valley’s tallest hill, a volcanic cone active some 12 to 14 million years ago, according to geologic evidence. Archeologists have traced settlements by the Mountain Patayan people in the area surrounding the hill as far back as 14,000 years ago.

After being known by white settlers in the 1800s as “Bald Mountain” for its near-complete lack of trees, it was formally named after Col. William Glassford. He used a heliographic station on the hill to communicate via Morse code as part of a sophisticated regional network, and a replica stands today near the summit.

The trailhead is off Castle Drive just south of Antelope Lane and is accessible from Prescott East Highway via Antelope or Sunset lanes.

Parking fees: None Uses: Hiking, mountain biking Distance: 2.1 miles (one way) Level of difficulty: Moderate to difficult Elevation: 5,183 feet to 6,123 feet
