Something about traveling feels...romantic.

Before I decided to take my job at buzz, I fantasized about studying abroad during college. Taking this editor-in-chief position meant kissing that opportunity goodbye. This spring, as my Facebook feed filled up with pictures and stories of my friends and their various worldly exploits, I looked on, swirling in a cocktail of emotions. It was initially sweet, but the bitter tinge of jealousy left a bad taste in my mouth.

Now I wonder, why did I do that? My life in CU is filled with opportunities for fun and excitement.

I’m of the opinion that only boring people get bored. There’s always something to do — a new band to check out, a new restaurant to try, new friends to make. Yet I sometimes still find myself unsatisfied when I’m in one place for too long.

I’m currently in between road trips. Last week, I took the Amtrak from Champaign to Chicago to get my wisdom teeth removed. While the prospect of getting teeth pulled failed to dazzle me, I relished the train trips to and from and used them as opportunities for reading, people watching and gazing out the window at the fields and towns we passed. When I rode the train, I began to wonder about the other passengers. They all had their own stories, problems, goals, hopes and dreams. They were all so different and interesting in their own ways.

The only thing that united us is that we happened to have been on the same train. We had that brief, two-hour ride together and will most likely never see each other again.

When this issue of buzz hits stands, I will be making the seven-hour road trip to Bonnaroo for the second time. Last time, I went to review the festival, and I hardly allowed myself to enjoy the experience. I mean, it’s tough to have a bad time at a giant concert, but I didn’t let myself rest, incessantly took notes and walked far too much. This time, as a customer, I hope to fully take in the experience and not burden myself with any stress. Maybe I’ll come back with some new friends, new favorite artists and new stories to tell.

This year, Bonnaroo falls on the same weekend as the Bud Light Summer Stage. I covered it last year, when it was called Center City Summer Stage, and I still think of it as a fantastic way to bring great local bands into Campustown. Though I won’t be able to be there this year, I strongly encourage anyone in town to do so. Good, live music on Green Street is a cause for celebration.

I call this "Dad Without Mustache."

Father's Day

BY JENNIFER HAARE Like all great things, Father’s Day was created by a farm girl from Spokane, Wash. Sonora Smart Dodd’s mother died when she was 16, leaving her father to raise Sonora and five younger brothers on the farm. Sonora persuaded the people of Spokane to observe the first Father’s Day in 1910, and from there the holiday gained popularity across the country.

We have Richard Nixon to thank for proclaiming in 1972 that Father’s Day occur on the third Sunday in June forevermore. Today the holiday is celebrated worldwide, most strangely in the “Man Candles” section at the Yankee Candle Company store.

It’s true. The best way to show your father figure that you care is to treat him to a candle. You can choose from delicious scents like “Mmm Bacon” for the gastro-dad, “First Down” for the sports fan, “Riding Mower” (grass with a hint of gasoline?) or my personal favorite, “Mantown."

They say that smell is the sense tied closest to memory, and by burning these candles, dads can relive some of their fondest times (maybe they could make one called, “Turning All Stories Into Lectures” too?). But even if you’re not into the candle idea, the bigger point is that men take pleasure in the simple things: a fresh cut lawn, a sizzling piece of bacon, a hand resting upon a remote control. If you can’t give ‘em a candle, give ‘em a memory ­— or a phone call. Do something to show they raised a good kid. And if you are a father, then Happy Father’s Day! We’re proud of you.

» The Man of Steel: It's summertime and that can only mean one thing: Movies featuring grown men dressed in tights kicking the living hell out of each other are coming to a theater near you. Although I am sick of superheroes and comic culture becoming the mindless cash-cow of Hollywood, I have to admit I am super pumped for the new Superman movie.

» 9.5 shoes: If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s is being a size 9.5 in shoes. Not only do I have gigantic feet, but some designers don’t make size 9.5 shoes. So, I’m stuck either buying a size 9, which can be too small, or a size 10, which is way too big.

I’m currently staring at my new gold sandals from ALDO and, yes, they’re adorable and go great with my outfit. I’m secretly hoping no one notices that they’re slightly too small though. So to all you shoe designers out there: MAKE A SIZE 9.5! The women of the Big Feet Club will thank you.

» 01000100: If this generation’s counterculture movement is any indication of where humanity is heading, singularity may be near and we may all soon turn into robots. Granted, I am an outsider to this movement, and with outsider status comes bias. Though all I see from rave culture is escapism, rather than genuine, thought-provoking expression. I’m all for the kids having their fun, and I’m sure I sound like the old man from Dennis the Menace right now, but I do think that we should take a closer look at our culture and what these people will become once the beats and flashing lights fade. I’m sure many free-lovin’ hippies from the ‘60s turned into corporate drones later on in their lives, though I like to think the afterglow of their rebellious youth influenced their decisions for the rest of their lives. Is this generation’s counterculture movement one that demands genuine, human emotion? Or does this movement only promote escapism, a place where people can go and simply not think? And better yet, is escapism a bad thing? I don’t really know if there is a definitive answer to that last question.

I’m not going to be the one to cast the final judgement on this generation, because I don’t have the right to do so and its fate remains to be seen. But these are the things I think about every day, and I believe they are worthwhile things to think about. I just hope that my peers use some sort of outlet for introspection and catharsis in addition to eschewing their emotions for bright lights and beat drops.

hen it comes to famous families, Will Smith and his family are the shining example of success. The last time Will Smith and his son Jaden teamed up for a movie, the elder Smith received an Academy Award nomination while the younger was hailed as a future star.

So, when the father son team returned to the screen in the sci-fi thriller After Earth, expectations were high as audiences and critics alike expected to be wowed by their performances.

After Earth is the brainchild of Smith, who thought this film would be the perfect way to shoot his son to superstardom. In the film, a young man and his father crash land on Earth roughly 1,000 years after mankind abandoned the planet. Since that time, Earth has become a dangerous and vicious world, one which the younger Smith’s character must battle through to save his injured father.

Post-apocalyptic thrillers are nothing new for Smith, whose blockbuster hit I Am Legend grossed over $77 million in its opening weekend back in 2007. It was received positively by audiences and critics alike, much like the younger Smith’s film debut, The Pursuit of Happiness. He shared the screen with his father, but stole the hearts of audiences with his surprisingly skillful acting. After this critically acclaimed performance, Jaden took the lead role in the remake of The Karate Kid alongside Jackie Chan, and again found domestic and international success.

The entire Smith family is a major force in the

entertainment industry. Thanks to this reputation and their past successes, After Earth was expected to be one of the big blockbusters of the summer.

With director M. Night Shymalan at the helm, there were predictions of enticing twists and plot turns that would leave audiences in awe. There are even plans in the work (somewhat premature ones) to turn After Earth into a trilogy. With all of these factors working in its favor, After Earth was expected to knock Fast & Furious 6 out of the number one spot by a long shot.

Unfortunately for After Earth, it missed out on the top spot by a large margin. Fast & Furious 6 retained the number one position for the second weekend in a row with $34.5 million. The second place spot for the weekend surprisingly went to the magical thriller Now You See Me, which pulled in $29.6 million in its opening weekend.

That left After Earth with spot number three after a disappointing $27.5 million opener.

It was challenging for After Earth to compete with the reigning number one spot holder. Fast & Furious 6 and After Earth both target a young male audience, and it appears that the adrenaline pumping car chases were more alluring than the sci-fi adventure. Now You See Me would also dip into that demographic, taking even more of After Earth’s potential audience away. With the ensemble cast of Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson and Isla Fisher, there is quite a bit of star power to compete with.

Despite the fact that After Earth had a huge production budget of $130 million and featured one of the world’s biggest stars, it didn’t deliver in a key area: acting. The brunt of the acting work in the film fell to the younger Smith, and critics did not find his performance to be on the level of his past work. Some said it seemed more like the father was trying to push an action star image onto his son rather than let it happen naturally.

It is unlikely that After Earth will make back its production budget domestically, but hopes are high that international sales will help the film break even. It is very possible for this to happen as both Smiths are well-known around the world for their past performances. It is doubtful it will bring them the kind of critical praise and sales that they usually receive, but as long as they make back the production budget, it won’t be a complete failure.

Even though this film will be a rare blemish on their resumes, both father and son are likely to bounce back from this blunder. One thing Will Smith is known for is his optimistic attitude and an excellent work ethic, which are traits he probably passed on to Jaden. Hopefully this will help the pair get through the presumably rough few weeks ahead when facing the brutally honest critics and poor reviews.

However, it is safe to say these two will return to the screen again, more likely than not with a success. Who knows? Perhaps if After Earth 2 ever hits the screen, it could be the hit that the duo was looking for in the first place.

OUTDOOR EATING

A handy-dandy guide to picnicking in CU

BY JASMINE LEE

T

he sun has finally come out of its hiding place and Champaign-Urbana is finally awash in 80-degree-plus heat and blinding sunlight. Break out the sunscreen, make best friends with your sunglasses and disregard any other footwear than flipflops until the beginning of October because, yes, oh yes, it is tank-top-wearing, cold-beer-drinking, barbecue-appropriate summertime.

Outdoor eating is possibly one of the greatest creations known to man. Other than the lazy joy of munching on some tapas and sangria at an outside wooden table while people-watching, nothing is quite as awesomely cliched and necessary to do in the summertime as is picnicking at a park. A giant picnic blanket, your closest friends and some food and drink are basic requirements for fun during the summer. We all know that Scott Park and the University’s Quad are picnicking mainstays, but what about some other places in grand ol’ Chambana?

Read on, my friends, read on.

URBANA The Arboretum An oasis within the University, the Arboretum is made up of several different parks and gardens — including the oft-mentioned Japan House — lavishly designed and kitted out with lush foliage and spots of relaxation. It’s ideal for running and flower-watching during the day and the perfect romantic spot for

canoodling once the sun goes down.

Where: 1800 S. Lincoln Ave., Urbana Atmosphere: Romantic Features/Amenities: Outdoor pavilion, gardens, walking path/hiking trail Recommended food: Ever been to an outdoor music concert, a la Ravinia? Think along the same lines for food and drink: a couple bottles of red wine (no ice bucket needed), sliced-up fruit, an assortment of cheeses, white bean dip and pita chips, and tasty, fancy sandwiches.

Turkey and brie sandwich »Sourdough baguette »Smoked turkey, sliced »Thick slice of brie cheese »Cucumber slices »Creme fraiche Swipe creme fraiche on both halves of the sliced baguette. Layer on cheese, cucumber and turkey. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let sit in refrigerator for 10-20 minutes for flavors to meld before enjoying.

Meadowbrook Park Where: 2808 Race St., Urbana Atmosphere: Family friendly Features/Amenities: Picnic area, farmstead, herb garden, walking paths, playground, gardens/open fields, outdoor pavilion, restrooms, playground, tree

Grove, art sculptures Recommended food: Meadowbrook Park practically screams of prairie and fall-themed shenanigans, so, appropriately, the picnic menu should reflect that. I’m thinking lots of pork, bread, cheeses, jams and butter and sugar. I recommend tacos, stuffed pita sandwiches, apple pie cookies, goat cheese and water crackers and grilled corn on the cob. Sweet tea and spiked lemonade would nicely round out the drinks portion.

Shredded pork summer rolls »Hot water »16 rice paper wrappers »1 cup slow cooker shredded pork »1 cup cooked rice vermicelli, chopped »1/4 cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced »1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced »1/2 carrot, shredded »2 scallions, thinly sliced »Thai basil leaves »Cilantro sprigs »Mint leaves Fill a round pan with hot water. Dip each wrapper in water until softened, remove and set aside.

For rolls, stack shredded pork, sliced vegetables, rice noodles, basil, mint leaves and cilantro on lower third of rice paper. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, fold in both sides toward the cen29. Jul 2010

Bud Light Summer Stage brings the local music Campustown craves

By Maddie Rehayem

Used with permission from Elsinore

ud Light Summer Stage (formerly Center City Summer Stage), presented by the Champaign Center Partnership, is back this year to bring local music to the part of CU that lacks it the most: Campustown.

Although much of the music scene here revolves around downtown Champaign, which is just a quick bus ride away, or in the basements of off-campus houses, which are easy to find if you know where to look, this Summer Stage event brings it right to campus this Saturday. It is easily accessible for students who might not have yet gotten a chance to be a part of our lively and ever-growing music scene.

Take Elsinore for example, a local band that is truly on the rise. They’ve been long-loved by the CU community, but they hope to continue to grow and share their music with a bigger audience. In the past year, they’ve been working hard doing just that.

In a whirlwind of events, the band was approached by Beau Sorenson, a producer who has worked with Death Cab for Cutie as well as on Bob Mould’s latest record, wanting to procuce for them.

6 buzz June 13-19, 2013

The songs were written, Champaign’s Pogo Studio was booked for two weeks, Sorenson was set to fly in from Portland and just five days before Elsinore was to record their new album, they lost a drummer and bassist.

Luckily, frontman Ryan Groff and keyboardist Mark Woolwine both knew exactly who they wanted to play the drums and bass.

“We realized that there was one drummer and one bass player that made sense for the band,” Groff said. That was Brad Threlkeld on the bass and Dirty Feathers drummer James Treichler.

“They both were in a position to say yes and were excited, flattered and really, really humbled by us asking them,” Groff said.

Everything came together, and according to Groff, things went even better than they would have with the old lineup.

“In terms of chemistry, we’re happier together,” he said. “With the old band, we were always trying to figure out how to be friends and how to be in the band together, and that’s just too much thinking about things that are not making music.

With the new guys, we’re all just excited to be

playing with each other.”

After a recent tour and series of CU shows, Elsinore plans to shoot some music videos and find album artwork for their new release, which comes out in October.

Groff described the album as a ”two-level upgrade” from the band’s previous material, due to Sorenson’s wealth of recording knowledge.

“It sounds more true ... like a focused work of art,” said Groff, whose adorable son, Oliver, was born right before the album was recorded.

After a bit of touring and a few local shows, the band has gelled nicely. If you somehow missed them at Cowboy Monkey or The Velvet Elvis, Bud Light Summer Stage would be a great chance to catch the new lineup and new songs.

“We finally got to know what it’s like to play on stage with each other,” Groff said. “All the shows went really well, and we had a positive discovery upon playing together” While Elsinore might be the most active CU band as of right now, let’s not forget the rest of the all-star lineup of local bands playing the outdoor fest, including Dirty Feathers,

The Struggle (featuring Harsh, Swords and Jay Moses), Sun Stereo and the Feudin’ Hillbillys, who will play two sets on a second stage added this year.

There will be rap by way of up and coming Heirship rapper Jay Moses, funky jams by way of Sun Stereo — an Urbana band fresh off their Summer Camp performance — and a little bit of country, courtesy of the Feudin’ Hillbillys.

Whether you’re a Champaign-Urbana native, or a student who has never ventured far from campus, the central Green Street location of this show makes it easily accessible, and the lineup is everything you want in a street festival, with a CU spin.

avina and the Vagabonds work hard every day to bring heartfelt blues to the whole wide world. Having previously performed with CU’s own Carnivale Debauche, Davina and her band are returning to Mike ‘N’ Molly’s for two nights of emotionally charged, jazzed-up tunes sure to give you the blues — in a good way, of course. I got a chance to chat with Davina about her roots in music, her fans and the future of jazz and blues. » buzz: Have you ever played here in Urbana-Champaign before? » Davina Sowers: Yeah, we actually started off at Mike ‘N’ Molly’s at the beer garden quite a number of years ago. » buzz: How were you introduced to blues and jazz music? » DS: Growing up, my mom was a folk singer but she’s into a huge collection of music. From like 6 until my teenage years, I stole her vinyl and listened to all of her records and she definitely introduced me to all different types of music, but for some reason my heart really stuck with a lot of the blues and jazz and folk. The singer-songwriter stuff. The real, true music. True to the heart and true to the words. » buzz: You’re based in the Twin Cities, Minnesota.

What kind of reception does your band get there? » DS: It gets a huge reception. It’s taken us some time to develop the fan base locally, but now we sell out all of our shows in town and it’s really amazing and we have such an amazing community from where we’re from that really support our music, from college students to older, baby boomers to swing dancers to music lovers to house wives to corporate people. It’s just amazing how many different types of people love our music and are fans. » buzz: It’s a kind of music everyone can enjoy. » DS: It seems so. It wasn’t planned, but it’s definitely multi-generational and cross genre so there’s a little bit of something for everybody.

» buzz: What is your songwriting process? » DS: There are different things that I do. I carry a notebook around and even on my phone, how typical of me, but you know you have notes on your iPhone. I have one full page of just phrases that I hear or something that I see, and then when I’m ready to write or I feel the urge, I have so many different things going through my head. Phrases to hooks to musical hooks, I go to my piano and I sit down and I write it all together. I write the music, the chords and the lyrics all in one shot, and hopefully it’ll turn into a song. I do it all at once, that’s just the way it works better for me. The phrasing along with the piano playing seems to blend together and it just becomes a truer song to me. » buzz: Do you write the horn part as well? » DS: I do, yeah. So all the arranging and the parting of the songs and the lyrics, I try to sit down and do that all together. » buzz: What instruments do you include in your songs? » DS: Trumpet, trombone, upright bass, piano and drums. » buzz: Is your band all male? » DS: Yeah, I travel with four guys. I’m the only girl. » buzz: What’s it like being the only female member? » DS: Um, I don’t know (laughs). I suppose it has its benefits. We’re all a family. Sometimes it gets lonely, but all in all, they’re my family and they’re my band members and we all get along really well and we travel really well together. And there’s not a lot of drama, so it’s kind of nice to have that lack of drama and just be able to go about my job. I don’t know what it would be like working with female musicians.

I never have. I’m not sure what type of experience it would be. It might be awesome, it might not be, but it seems like the path has thrown male musicians toward the band, so that’s what I have.

CREATIVITY WITH A CAUSE

One People presents The Lounge, a charitable live performance on June 14

BY LINDSAY GOLDSTEIN

L

ooking to participate or simply listen to a night of music, spoken word and storytelling in an intimate atmosphere, all while raising money for a great cause? Look no further than The Lounge, a new benefit put on by One People

every six to eight weeks at Urbana’s The Hub. “A year and a half ago, we were together and I would say it started there," said Jennifer Phetchareun, one of the event coordinators. "We had an idea to raise awareness and bring people togeth-

Used with permission from One People

er on social issues. We just didn’t know how to showcase it. But we were really passionate.”

That passion of hers, as well as other event coordinators and One People founders Lacey Ross and Michelle Adeoye, has translated into a very cool kind of benefit.

CU natives, Ross, Adeoye and Phetchareun all left home to attend different universities. After they graduated and returned to their roots, they started throwing around ideas, and soon One People was born.

“The Lounge actually started One People,” Adeoye said. “I wanted to have the opportunity for spoken word artists and singers to perform, and to have something new to do on a Friday night. It was a great turnout, and it seemed like people were really hungry for that kind of stuff within the community — not only to perform, but also to attend. And that event (on April 12, the first Lounge) actually raised money for a school in Kenya, which really fueled the whole event and made it really purposeful.”

From that one successful night, One People was born. Adeoye, Ross and Phetchareun have a vision of relaxed performance nights every six to eight weeks, eventually expanding beyond just The Hub and moving all over campus and the CU area. Each event will benefit a charity that they select and agree on.

The next Lounge event, Friday, June 14, will be held at The Hub once again. The charity One People is sponsoring is the Cross of Christ Health Center in Akute, Nigeria. The health center is a project started by Adeoye’s parents, and will open in January 2014. All of the proceeds from the evening will benefit the start-up of the clinic.

The One People founders are not the only ones passionate about the event and the cause.

Spoken word artist Blessing Adeoye, brother of event coordinator Michelle, loves being able to showcase his craft.

“The ambiance was awesome, and the crowd

turnout was even more than we were expecting,” Blessing Adeoye said. “It was really diverse, too, in terms of the crowd and the audience.”

Another performer, Asha-Dee Celestine, brings her unique gift for storytelling all the way from Trinidad and Tobago. A University graduate student in engineering, she is very passionate about having an outlet to perform.

“The talent is quite phenomenal,” Celestine said. “These are people that you wouldn’t hear about just going about your every day life. Just to see regular people with regular jobs, and yet with so much talent, is really exciting.”

Adeoye, Ross and Phetchareun are hoping for a slightly different feel for this upcoming lounge.

“The last one was very organic,” Phetchareun said. “This time, we have an organization behind it, and so it’ll be much more organized. We want to get as many people as we can, because we know that there are so many people in Champaign that have a gift, and they wonder, ‘What can I do to get involved?’ And we, in turn, can raise money for an organization, so it’s really a full circle.”

The future of One People and The Lounge is a bright one, for sure.

“Our vision is to expand, and to have volunteers that we can send out for encouragement and get others involved,” Phetchareun said.

And they aren’t just looking for students.

“All are welcome,” Michelle Adeoye said, and her brother Blessing agreed. “This is an event for anybody. There are so many misconceptions that spoken word and other arts are just for young people, or that poetry is just for old people, and they’re really for everyone.”

The Lounge, to benefit the Cross of Christ Health Clinic, is this coming Friday, June 14. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the event begins at 7:30 p.m.

The Hub is at 912 W. Springfield Ave., Urbana.

stretching the limits

Krannert Art Museum offers free yoga program

BY JENNIFER HAARE

T

here is something meditative about the Krannert Art Museum prior to Friday’s free yoga class. Walking south down Sixth Street from campustown, past the Main Library, the University buildings are interrupted by the giant field outside the Krannert Art Museum and Kinkead Pavillion.

I am a little early, so I cross the field and sit in the small garden outside the Link Gallery which is full of tables and remnants of the School of Art and Design’s graduation reception. The sun moves behind a layer of clouds, and I decide to go inside, noticing the sense of calm that follows.

The Krannert Art Museum, if you’ve never been, has a great collection of work. It’s never too busy, making it the perfect place to go to quietly contemplate new things. There are also plenty of opportunities to do new things too, like tango dancing, poetry readings, artist talks and, as I am about to try, yoga.

Free yoga is offered every Friday at noon in the Krannert Art Museum, except July 5. The summer location is on the upper floor of the museum in a vacant room referred to as the Asian Gallery.

The class is open to everyone; you do not need to be a museum member or student to attend. If you are new, you must fill out a waiver as well as the sign-in sheet. You may also enter a raffle to win a free museum membership that normally costs $15 for students and $45 for others.

“The director of Krannert Art Museum, Kathleen Harleman, firmly believes that all events at the museum should be free — yoga included,” says Anne Sautman, the director of education.

Sautman also practices yoga, and was involved in the program’s inception in 2007.

“Over lunch one day, one of my co-workers suggested we have yoga classes at the museum. I was

aware that a few museums were offering yoga classes, so I proposed the idea to the museum’s director, and she agreed,” Harleman says.

The benefit of the program extends beyond workplace convenience. I talk with two women who arrive to the class early, setting up their mats and stretching out. Nilda Guevara and Jean Marie Marron-Beebe have been regulars for over six months and are excited to share their experience.

“Yoga, at the end of the day, is a luxury,” says Marron-Beebe, who appreciates the opportunity to have free instruction. “At home, you don’t know if you’re doing it right. And sometimes you feel embarrassed, even if it’s just you. It’s nice to have someone who knows what they are doing to help you.”

Yoga is offered in several places around CU at varying prices. Sautman describes the feedback on

the free program as extremely positive. “It allows others to try (yoga) out without worrying about having to make a commitment,” she said.

The class is taught by Hayli Peterson, who has been teaching yoga for about 10 years. She has an effortlessness about her as she walks into the room, and everyone quiets down. She welcomes us, thanks us for coming and remarks on the nice atmosphere of the art museum. The meditative quality of the art museum, with its echoing footsteps and careful lighting, creates a calm space. Hayli starts by offering a bit of yoga and daily life wisdom.

“When practicing yoga, it is important not to push yourself into a position," she says. "Let yourself fall into place. It is very important to breathe. If you try to push, you will hurt yourself."

Hayli leads us through a series of breathing exer-

cises before beginning to do positions. She offers modifications for every position, allowing everyone to go at their own place. She encourages us to stay in the positions that make us feel a little awkward because that is a way to learn new things. When trying more difficult positions she tells us to “make it look easy,” an interesting aspect of advanced yoga.

The class is an hour, just long enough to get a little red in the face. Afterward, talking to a student, Hayli stresses the importance of not taking anything too seriously. “There needs to be a sense of letting go to move forward,” she says, again mixing yoga with life.

Starting in the fall, the museum will offer a second class to members on Thursdays from 4-5 p.m. Meadowbrook Park will also offer a free yoga summer series on Saturdays from 9-10 a.m., starting June 15.

BRIE F BOX

(Continued from page 7) » buzz: I think it creates a cool dynamic. » DS: You have to be strong in a lot of areas. I think it’s a different type of striving to be surrounded by really amazing male musicians. It allows me to really be stronger in my performing and it’s just neat. I’m the one with the dress on. » buzz: How do you channel your emotion in your performances and recordings? » DS: I just feel what I’m singing, what I sing I believe and I just put every note I think of and every note I strongly have faith in and believe in and I just want to portray that, telling the story.

My heart and my soul is 100 percent in every note that I’m singing. It really is, and I know that probably a lot of singers say that, and I hope they mean it, but it’s the truth.

It’s important to me as a listener to believe what a person is saying and be able to relate, and the only way you can relate is if you believe that person and what they’re saying and what they’re singing, so it’s just imperative as a performer and as a singer and as a musician in general. » buzz: Do you have any new music in the works? » DS: We’re coming out with a new album. We just started recording it. It’ll be out pretty soon ... six months to eight months. There’s a lot of songs that I’ve been writing and we already went in and started recording about four or five of them. I’m really excited. It’s gonna be another all-original album. I have no idea what I’m gonna name it yet and I’m still writing music, you know, five minutes ago just trying to get this album kind of done and be able to pick and choose and have options. » buzz: When you’re not playing originals, what songs do you cover? » DS: My first three albums, there were covers on them. It just depends on what songs I love and what I wanna cover I guess. It’s not a lot of A-sides; it’s not a lot of pop covers. I guess if they were pop covers, they’d be like from the ‘20s to the ‘60s, but not newer stuff. Well I will note that’s not true either. I enjoy Ben Harper, and there’s a few Wilco songs that I’ve covered.

I’m a sucker for singer-songwriter, so I’ll thrown one of them in here or there, but it’s mostly a spin on traditional jazz. I’m not square, you know, I don’t wanna be considered a jazz band in any way, shape or form. Definitely I want an edge to what I’m doing because there’s an edge to me. » buzz: It’s a mix of both. » DS: I would say it’s a mix of 50/50. It’s starting to become more originals, which I want.

People are starting to sing my songs and it’s really neat that they wanna hear some of the originals, and they kind of expect that as well.
