Story by Jim G. MIller

CULINARY DELICACY Diana Surfas and her husband Les opened the Culinary District in Hot Springs in 2006. Diana was raised in Hot Springs, and she still resides here with Les and their son. They decided to open up shop in the Spa City. “It is a perfect place for our distribution facility and its small cafe and store front. In the center of the country, it can better serve our widespread customer base,” says Diana.

The original Surfas Culinary District, the flagship location, is in Los Angeles California where it was founded in 1937 in an abandoned garage.

It has since prospered as a family owned and operated business. The Hot Springs location is housed in the historic Hamp Williams Building.

The buildings’s 2006 restoration has brought new business and development to the Ouachita Avenue area.

“We never had second thoughts about where to put our business when the beautiful historic Hamp Williams Building became available. We feel fortunate to touch the past while running

a successful contemporary business in our home of Hot Springs,” says Surfas. The Hamp Williams Building was built in 1920 and added to the National Historic Registry in the 1970s. It offers an interesting Italianate Revival style with outdoor seating on the stunning back patio or front sidewalk.

The Culinary District’s coffee bar offers an array of espresso and coffee drinks, and free WIFI is offered to customers. The Culinary District also offers a delectable lunch menu that includes some of the finest ingredients available for purchase at the location. Surfas also provides cookware utensils and various restaurant supply items that you may otherwise only be able to find an hour away in Little Rock.

They want to be a resource for chefs and food enthusiasts, a place people can go to find the best ingredients and equipment. They want it to be a convenient shopping destination for all who love cooking at home or professionally. Offering a variety of brands and the finest ingredients such

THE CULINARY DISTRICT SHOWCASES FALL COOKING CLASSES AND MORE

as olive oils, vinegars, wine, cheeses, and breads, if you can name it, they most likely have it.

I personally would suggest the ultimate cheese sandwich. This favorite is made with aged white cheddar, French melting cheese, and blue cheese mayo. Also ask about the quiche of the day which is always delicious with its flaky crust and smooth creamy finish. The fresh salads served with your choice of dressings are light and flavorful. All of the ingredients used in the Coffee Bar and Café are available for purchase in the store.

The Culinary district takes lunch reservations for parties, and you may also rent out the courtyard or historic, renovated warehouse for business meetings, weddings and other events accommodating up to 350 people. They host outdoor cooking classes in spring and fall.

Be sure to check out the dutch oven cooking class with 2012 National Dutch Oven cooking champion Bill Ryan on September 14th or the tailgating class with local grill masters Randy Hill and Andy Allen on Saturday October 19th.

Story by Jim G. Miller

FRONT PORCH VOICE

8

Called both stubborn and beautiful by friends, family, and attentive listeners, Brian Mar tin sings with the conscience and soul of a man who is determined yet content with the distressing hear tache of where his songs belly up from.

contest, and it is true that Mar tin is somewhat of a trailblazer in more ways than one. He has developed a most enter taining way of weaving a story with the strong roots of Americana and the fine threads of personal human emotions.

His smooth but casual stage presence resoundingly impresses first time listeners and disarms even the most closed minded of music snobs. The hear tbeat rhythms and his finger picking are sometimes accompanied by a steady harmonica humming like a freight train. There is a colloquialism in the cadence of his words similar to the way he talks and walks. It is quite clear that Mar tin lives and breathes the chords he plays and the words he sings.

His magnetic stage presence is welcomed at any farmers market, front porch, smoky bar, or music festival. Perhaps it is just in his character to adapt to any given situation.

He sometimes has that funny yet stern look on his face just like grandpa used to make, but then he begins singing about grandma’s chicken and dumplings and it’s all okay.

Though his thick, red Irish beard may seem like a tough exterior, he is a sensitive and passionate man, a curse and a blessing among the more talented balladeers. Still, he will challenge any man to a wood splitting

His debut solo “No Rider” is available on his website, and it consists of many of his most cherished songs with occassional accompaniment from percussion, harmonica, dobro and pedal steel. The album mirrors the poignant resonance of his presence and voice. Martin has lately been tucked away in the Northern reaches of Arkansas writing and experimenting.

THE DEEP WOODS AND CALM SOUND OF BRIAN MARTIN

Cur rently, there is a music video in production written and directed by local Hot Springs videographer Matt McCormack.

It is based on a prominent track from “No Rider” called “Kerosene Dream”. The video is slated to be completed later this year and will feature Mar tin and many other Hot Springs locals twisting and turning and attempting to manage their lives despite life’s many complications.

Mar tin tours throughout the South and has played alongside many other established singer songwriters and bands throughout the states.

Hot Springs will always be his home base, and you can expect to see his performances throughout the fall. On October 5th Mar tin will be playing at Hot Water Hills Ar ts and Music Festival at 6pm in Hill Wheatley Plaza. Check out his music and his calendar of upcoming tour dates on www. brianmar tinmusic.com

ALBUMS ON REVIEW

Boards of canada Tomorrow’s harvest Released June 5, 2013 on Warp Records Tomorrow’s Harvest is Boards of Canada’s fourth full-length release. It follows their 2005 masterwork The Campfire Headphase. This third album was experimental; they played with more traditional song structures rather than relying on the droning, arrhythmic soundscapes that mystified their earlier work. As a result, Campfire was an epiphany in melody and rhythm, and the listener can sense the revelation and the joy in discovery. If the third album was a climactic outpouring of newly awakened vision, this purging left the group satisfied but spent, for it would be seven years before their next album would be completed. Released June 5th, 2013, Tomorrow’s Harvest has finally arrived to sate all the anticipation.

Since the Scottish duo tries to stay out of the limelight, the lengthy absence of a follow-up had sent fans into a quandary. I wondered, “Have they peaked? Must what went up finally come down?” My answer is yes and no. There is anguish in Tomorrow’s Harvest. There is frustration expressed through its chaotic percussive clutter that creates anxiety in tracks like “Reach for the Dead.”. It’s as if this new album is the crash following Campfire’s climax, and it has left the duo shaken and stumbling back into balance. Ambient sirens send out distress calls; radio frequency static lulls in and out transmission, but through all of the beautiful struggle, there is a relentless hope. Though it trudges, it trudges on toward clarity and peace, and we get a glimpse of it in “Nothing is Real” and “Sundown.” Perhaps they must endure the proverbial dark night of the soul before they can awaken to tomorrow’s harvest.

BLOODlESS COOTIeS XX

Released September 3, 2013 on Thick Syrup Records

I first saw the Bloodless Cooties play in 1994, and it sent me back to when I was a kid, listening to old 45s by artists like Bo Diddley, Johnny Burnette, Link Wray, and the Coasters. While punk rock shows were becoming way too emotional in the nineties, I felt like the Cooties offered an escape and kept it weird and fun in the Little Rock scene. Being at their shows made me think that maybe I wasn’t the only one who had spent years listening to their uncle’s old, scratched-up 45s. Now, after twenty years, the Bloodless Cooties have released their first album, XX. The first track, a heavy, psychedelic version of Love’s “7 and 7,” is the train engine of the album, chugging out of the station to roll through the remaining eighteen tracks. The Cooties’ version of Lavern Baker’s “Saved” will have you ready to testify. Their version of the Box Tops’ “Cry Like a Baby” highlights the scruffy vocals of Jeremy Colburn, son of Cooties drummer Jerry Colburn. XX also includes a surprising version of “Pendulum” by Guided by Voices. Covered work ranges from obscure, such as Scottish band String Driven Thing, to infamous, such as Johnny and June Carter Cash. Arkansas natives Louie Jordon and Billy Lee Riley are also featured, along with the work of past masters such as Harold Burrage, Tom Waits, Daniel Johnston, and many more. XX is being released on Little Rock’s Thick Syrup Records and begins shipping on September 3rd. Circle, circle, dot, dot—go and get your Cooties rock!

LILY ALLEN IT’S NOT ME, IT’s YOU What you may have missed-Released February 10, 2009 on Capitol Records

Although Lily Allen’s It’s Not Me, It’s You came out in 2007, it deserves a second listen. This album offers a variety of tunes, from serene melodies to quirky, catchy pop numbers. It’s Not Me, It’s You, Lily’s second album, offers a few slower, more contemplative songs in addition to the danceable beats she used so well in her first album, Alright, Still. Lily pairs loud-mouth sass with frank, disarming charm and honesty.

She quips in “The Fear,” ‘I’ll take my clothes off / and it will be shameless / because everyone knows that’s how you get famous,’ commenting on how some celebrities use their bodies to get attention. She also shares a few political beliefs, especially in “F*** You,” an indignant rant against racism and homophobia. While her lyrics flit from witty to thoughtful to silly, it’s hard to deny the charm of her accent and the strength of her free-willed expression; these traits are what keeps her work relevant and fresh long past the usual short expiration date of pop—at least until her next album.

PEACH PITS & POSSIBILITIES CARVING OUT CULTURE IN A SMALL TOWN COMMUNITY Story by Ciara Cerrato Everyone knows that Hot Springs abounds with creativity. This fact has become a hallmark of this little Arkansas city. Locals and tourists alike live and travel here to participate in the creative energy that has become engrained in Hot Springs’ identity. In the midst of the hullaballoo of galleries, festivals, and shows, may we remember what it takes to nurture the culture of a place. Over the years, Hot Springs somehow has been gifted with certain people – a list of said folks would be formidably long -- who are imbued with the know-how, talent, and passion to keep the art community alive and thriving.

12

For the past few years, Amelia Houser has been sharing her art as well as helping organize some of the better Hot Springs art and music festivals. I’m almost convinced there are three

of her. Aside from working with the Hot Springs Blues Festival, the Hot Water Hills Art and Music Festival, and various other events, she also is a vendor at the Hot Springs Historic Farmers’ and Artists’ Market where she shares her art. Most know her for her woodcarvings, but she does everything from upcycling to needle felting. Ever inventive and resourceful, Houser’s creations and ideas bring freshness to the Hot Springs art community, and it all started with a peach pit.

Houser discovered carving almost accidentally.

While working at a nuclear power plant construction site as a clerk, she got to know some of the ironworkers. She noticed them carving their peach pits during lunch breaks and became curious. One of the guys handed her a pit and a knife, and the rest is history.

To this day, Houser still makes time for carving.

She loves to carve because it is a calming experience as she explains, “I feel peaceful when I carve, and when I finish a piece, it is like

a birth, a release.” She also has expanded her media. During a visit to the Anchorage Open Market in Alaska she discovered cottonwood bark, a softer wood with a beautiful grain and color. The versatility of the wood allowed Houser to experiment and hone her craft. Her cottonwood bark carvings may also be seen at the market.

Houser uses another medium that is uncommon, and her uncanny resourcefulness is what led her to it. A friend once repurposed an antique piano for furniture parts. She caught wind of her friend’s idea, and they went to work hacking the thing apart with Houser harvesting all the old wooden keys. She has since created countless carvings out of the keys, many of which relate to music. Aside from her creative talent, what is truly great about Houser is that she uses her creativity to help others.

She has a knack for finding oppor tunities to better the community with her ar t. For instance, she donated many of her piano

hot springs Many of her projects involve upcycling. In this technique, recycled and repurposed materials are used to create ar t and other crafts. Upcycling comes naturally to Houser because of her upbringing, “I was raised on a farm, and we found a way to reuse everything.

Plastic milk jugs were reincarnated as scoops; everything had a second life,” she explains, “I hate to see anything go to waste.” She is currently upcycling old cases into one of a kind, functional ar t pieces; what would have been thrown out she has redeemed. She also organizes the Handmade Holiday that will be held in the Hale bathhouse this year from October through December. It is a popup shop where community members may purchase upcycled and other handmade, oneof-a-kind gifts for the holidays.

key carvings to a fundraising auction for the music program at a local school. She has also created awards and other ar tworks that she has donated to various nonprofit organizations. She is also a volunteer

screener for the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival and a volunteer board member for Low Key Ar ts, a local not-for-profit ar ts organization. Even Houser’s choice of media for her ar t often benefits the community.

You can admire Houser’s handicrafts and bright smile at the farmer’s market as well as at the Hot Springs Blues Festival Artists’ Alley in which she is a participating artist and the organizer of the event. Also stop by the Hot Water Hills Art and Music Festival in October where Houser will be serving as the artist liaison.

A REVIVAL OF COOL THE HOT SPRINGS JAZZ FESTIVAL SWINGS INTO ITS 22ND YEAR Story by Jim G Miller

How many Jazz records do you own? How many Jazz bars are in Hot Springs? What is Jazz? Hot Springs has seen the greatest of Jazz solos, trios and orchestras play during the hubbub and hey day of its colorful history. The Baptist Hotel supposedly once saw Count Basie and his orchestra among other legendary Jazz artists.

There are still shining glimpses of the talented genre glimmering in the small spa city as well as throughout the rest of the state. Many of the current jazz artists in the area moved here while some are natives. A good majority of the esteemed pianists, drummers, brass horn and sax players are people who have discovered Hot Springs nearly by accident. While traveling to

Mississippi to play a gig, former Jazz Society President and jazz pianist Clyde Pounds stumbled upon Hot Springs as if stumbling upon the Atlantis of the South.

A gig is what a Jazz artist calls a show that they are getting paid to do, and for Pounds and many others who play Jazz, that is how they scrape by. “I was surprised that for the size of Hot Springs that it was actually able to sustain a working musician,” says Pounds who lived in San Francisco and Hawaii among other places prior to moving to Hot Springs.

He was not aware that there was a Jazz Society in Hot Springs, and he quickly became involved shortly after moving here. He currently serves as entertainment chairman.

Pounds will have a special performance during Piano-rama playing along with top notch jazz pianists Chuck Dodson, Zachary Wilson, Dr. Rex Bell, Lynn Payette and John Puckett during opening night of the 22nd Annual Jazz Fest.

Piano-rama encompasses multiple styles of jazz piano which include swing, blues, stride, boogiewoogie, bebop and contemporary. The pianists will be accompanied by David Higginbotham on bass and Jay Payette on drums with Shrley Chauvin as Emcee.

On Wednesday September 11, there is a free Jazz 101 event being held in collaboration with the Garland County Library. The program will offer an

introduction into the history and evolution of jazz music from its roots in New Orleans to the early days of ragtime to swing bop and progressive jazz.

Open to all ages and meant to be both educational and entertaining, the performace will include the improvisations and syncopations of Clyde Pound on keyboard, Jay Payette on drums, Byron Yancey on bass and a special surprise guest.

On Thursday September 12th, there will be an intimate performance of Shirley Chauvin’s S’Wonderful featuring Pound on keyboard, Les Pack on bass and CE Askew, a renowned big band drummer and music professor at University of Arkansas in Monticello. An exciting and progressive

The Jazz Festival weekend climaxes on Saturday, September 14th with “Jazz in the Streets” emceed by the one and only Dick Antoine, voice of KZNG’s “Talk of the Town.” The event is free to the public and features six of Arkansas’ best jazz bands: Spa City Stompers, University of Arkansas in Monticello Jazz Band, Delta Brass Express, Henderson State’s NuFusion, Calle Soul, and the 106th Army National Guard Band.

Sunday will end with Jazz Mass at St. Luke’s Episcopal church with live jazz performances and a lecture by Reverend Dr. Eugene L. Lowry later in the afternoon called Jazz to Christianity which displays how the Christian church has influenced the development of jazz.

As a true American art form, jazz has seen its ups and downs in both big and small towns throughout the country, however, one thing is certain in Hot Springs. However traditional or subversive, however famous or low key, the appreciation and enjoyment of jazz will always be cool.

Maxwell Blade at his Theater of Magic in Downtown Hot Springs

MASTERS OF ILLUSION

Story by Jim G. Miller

MAGICIANS TRANSCEND SPACE AND TIME DURING THE WEEKEND OF WONDER

“We have been planning this for the past 10 years,” says Maxwell Blade while standing on the stage at his Theatre of Magic where many of the amazing shows will be taking place during the weekend of September 20th. “Jay Scott Berry, an expert at visual wizardry, recently gave a speech in Little Rock to the magic club, and we were talking about how great it would be to have a magic festival in Hot Springs.” The decision to do it in Hot Springs was a pretty simple one for Blade who has been successfully orchestrating magic in the city for more than seventeen years.

be giving a lecture where you will be able to get up and close with some of the wondrous reptiles that accompany him. Also be sure to check out the balloon marvels of Tommy Whoo.

Beginning in 1996 at the Malco Theatre, Blade has a national reputation for his magic handiwork. He has progressed throughout the years, traveling throughout the country doing magic prior to settling in Hot Springs with his family. This festival is one of many ways he hopes to continue pushing himself as a master of the craft. “It’s going to be great to have these other magicians here in Hot Springs because not only are we providing the people here with something that they might only see in a place like Las Vegas but as magicians we are also getting the opportunity to watch and learn from each other,” says Maxwell. “These magicians have a willingness to push the threshold and go beyond the boundaries to bewilder and amaze audiences.”

“Back in the day, magicians would do traveling shows all throughout small town America ,and this for me is a way to bring that back to the people of Hot Springs,” says Blade. The jam packed weekend of magic also features two other widely known Arkansas magicians, Paul Prater, a mind reader and mystical entertainer, and Little Rock celebrity close-up magician Derrick Rose.

Magic will certainly be spilling out onto the sidewalks, bars, bathhouses, restaurants and more with venues such as Steinhaus Kellar, Superior Bathouse, the Ohio Club, Rolando’s and other establishments offering up their spots to participate with the first ever event of its kind to be held in downtown Hot Springs.

The weekend of magic and wonder will take place in various venues throughout downtown like the Gangster Museum of America, S.T.A.R Gallery, and a special gala will be held at the Central Theatre.

Many of the events and special guest magicians

are being hosted by local businesses and sponsors supporting the event from all around Hot Springs.

Aside from the magicians who will be headlining the event, the final evening of September 22nd will feature many new magicians such as the young John Venus who is also assisting Blade and Berry with the production of the weekends events. Also coming all the way from Lithuania is Rokas Bernatonis, a rising star of magic in Europe known for his modern, off-beat style.

There are five major types of magic: close up, mega stage, mentalism, parlor, and comedy. This weekend will encompass all of those genres which are appropriate for all age groups, young or old. The history of magic reaches back through the ages and has appropriated itself into the mythology of science, technology and modern culture. The phenomena of illusion has captivated human beings for centuries.

Let the Weekend of Wonder suspend your conception of reality, and be amazed at what wonder awaits you right here in Hot Springs September 20th through the 22nd at participating venues throughout Hot Springs.

For further details about sponsors and to get a schedule or buy tickets, check out the event website at www.weekendofwonder.com.

It is certainly not hard to be impressed with the caliber of the illusionists that will be appearing in Hot Springs. Jeff McBride, named “Magician of the Year,” is from Las Vegas and will be featured along with Michael Ammar, a world champion close-up artist. McBride will be doing a one-man show, as well as close-up, street magic. Many featured magicians will be hosting lectures and leading workshops throughout the weekend.

The lineup also includes Dirk Losander, a master of Levitation from Germany. Many of the stars that will be in Hot Springs for the Weekend of Wonder have traveled the globe performing their magic. Certainly another standout during the weekend will be The Serpentine Sorcerer Daryl Sprout who performs with a menagerie of magic reptiles. Sprout also will

HOT SPRINGS HORROR FILM FESTIVAL CINEMATIC FEAR IS COMING TO

THE SPA CITY THIS SEPTEMBER.

HORROR FILM FESTIVAL

Jimmy LeCompt, Tamara Glynn and Bill Volland

Central Theater director Bill Volland (Silk Stalkings) and co-director Tamara Glynn (Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers, Freddy’s Nightmare’s) have been working hard to bring a fun and fright filled weekend to Downtown Hot Springs.

learn a thing or two from the veterans that will be showcasing their work. There will be panels and Q & A sessions featuring directors and cast from the films, making this an interactive, creative experience for those in the business of either making or enjoying horror films.

It is the first time a Hot Springs festival has been dedicated to showcasing this genre of cinema. It will be a groundbreaking event for Hot Springs because it will bring in independent horror films from all over the world. Celebrities from the genre will also make an appearance, and there will also be special effects demos. There will also be plenty of live music, prizes, vendors, and more.

Fans can get an inside look at the genre while rubbing elbows with some of Hollywood’s scariest madmen. Tyler Mane, who portrayed Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s remake of the classic “Halloween,” is definitely the guy everyone is dying to meet. His new film “Compound Fracture” will be premiering. Justin Beahm, the director of the documentary “You Can’t Kill The Boogeyman!” will also be in attendance. If you grew up watching “The Shape” terrorize Haddonfield, Illinois, this is your chance to get all the facts on your favorite killer. Don’t miss your chance to win a walk on role to be killed by Tyler Mane.

The ultimate purpose of the festival is to educate, promote, and motivate aspiring directors and writers through screenings and workshops. There are a variety of styles that range from fantasy to sci-fi to blood curdling terror. I would definitely say that there is a film for every kind of fan. Burgeoning filmmakers can

The horror fest will host celebrities from all over the globe including Eileen Dietz (The Exorcist),

hot springs

Sci-Fi Channel’s Face-Off contestant Eric Fox, David Schmoeller (director of Puppet Master), and Jeff Burr (director of Leatherface:Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 and Pumpkinhead 2) to name only a few. Local talents also will be hosted like Arkansas native Eric England who created Madison County, a new slasher film made right here in the natural state. Hear his success story after a screening one of his newest films, “Contracted”. There will also be special events with stars in attendance including the VIP after party. Autograph signing and other ghoulish merchandise will be available to attendees.

Thrashing Entertainment will host a night of music and terror with the creepiest Jacksonville Rap-Metal hybrid “Fatal Thirteen,” who were recently direct support for Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock.

They will be joined by Fort Smith industrial shock rockers “White Collar Sideshow” for the official after party at Maxine’s on Saturday, September 28th at 8 pm. Other performances are listed at hotspringshorrorfilmfestival.com.

Bill Volland and Tamara Glynn both are committing a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to this festival, and it is not just about chills and thrills. They seem to want more than just an entertainment festival, they want a festival that stimulates creativity and helps the community.

Tamara Glynn, from “Halloween 5,” will host a special screening to raise money for the sCare Foundation, an organization that helps at-risk youths and teens. A zombie blood drive will be held the 28th with special effects ar tists and the American Red Cross. Wanting to get to know the people behind this new festival, I caught up with co-director Bill Volland, and he was more than happy to expound on his and Glynn’s project.

Q

What is your inspiration for doing such an event in Hot Springs, Arkansas?

A

After forming the Hot Springs Arts and Film Institute, a nonprofit organization for filmmakers and artists for promoting and exhibiting their work, it just felt logical to do film festivals because of our collective background in film production.

Q

Is there anything in particular you are most excited about?

A

The films. The mayhem. The surprises.

Q

What can you say about the films being submitted from the new directors?

A

There is everything from gore to the style of Hitchcock and Twilight Zone, and everything between.

Q

Was there anything too extreme entered into consideration?

A

Our submission criteria eliminated anything too extreme, so we didn’t receive anything too crazy. Nothing is X-rated, but you may hear a curse word a few times. But, of course there will be gore, don’t worry about that.

Q A

What films would you say are must-see?

Over 500 films have been submitted; about 40 to 50 are being shown; all of them are a must-see. They are all good because they are all official selections. The best of the best is what is being showcased.

Q A

Is Hot Springs ready for this festival?

I don’t know if anybody is ready for this, but it’s coming. There’s no stopping it. See you then!

The Hot Springs International Horror Film Festival will be held September 26th-29th, 2013 at Central Theater located at 1008 Central Avenue in Historic Downtown Hot Springs, AR. Tickets and passes are available online at hotspringshorrorfilmfestival.com.

Get prepared to be scared when HSIHFF starts off the Halloween season right!

HOT SPRINGS AWAKENING Over the years, many have suggested that there may be more than meets the eye to the history of Hot Springs. Many of the worn and antique buildings are seeing new life. Some have seen many changes and have housed a thoughtless number of unique stories. Many of the buildings are from the 1800s, and these are the ones with interesting stories to tell.

While many of the haunted ones are abandoned and left behind to the ghosts that wander them, some of the older structures are alive with new and exciting things. Bathhouses are now breweries; brothels have become bars. It is hard to say without speculation what stories these places have to tell. For some it is a challenge to determine what is beyond the veil of ordinary belief while for others these places are just ordinary historic buildings with nothing much to say.

In 2010, a police officer gave his account of a haunting in the deser ted spa of the Majestic Hotel to a TV show called “My Ghost Story” on the Biography channel. The Discovery Channel’s “Ghost Lab” team once spent three nights in the Poet’s Loft collecting ‘evidence’ to back up the strange sightings patrons had repor ted. The Malco Theatre is known for the disembodied scream of some unfor tunate

young female. The Arlington Hotel has its own stories of unexplainable events, but shhh… no one is allowed to talk about that. However, just about anyone can tell you that Al Capone frequented the place; he had a tendency to rent out entire floors on occasion, and surely nothing unsettling could have happened during those times. They say that the Hollywood Cemetery is a nice, quiet place. The only problem is that there may be spirits longing to hitch a ride with you when driving by. With all of these things mentioned and some not, it seems that Hot

Springs has caught the attention of some people familiar with these unsettled subjects, and they are coming to investigate this whispering facet of the historic Spa City.

The first weekend in October this year will prove to be a spooky delight for those interested in the ‘other side’ of Hot Springs history. October 4-6 will see Hot Springs, Arkansas host the first ever Haunted Springs Paranormal Fest with speakers on multiple related subjects convening from all over the nation.

well-known mediums from across Arkansas.

The host of the event, Kimberli Ridgeway D. N. H., has nearly two decades of experience in natural health and healing. She has recently made Hot Springs her home after falling in love with the people and scenery. She is also the purveyor of “Ghoul-B-Gone” an allnatural concoction made to spritz away the unwelcome. Co-Host Dan Guthrie of Haunted Enter tainment and author of “A Haunted Life” will be present. Jeff Leeper, of TAPS fame, will lead the hunt on Saturday night. Lead investigator with Ft. Wor th Paranormal, Justin Erik will also speak at the event.

32

Dr. Kimberli has brought together an excellent line-up of researchers, authors, and investigators to speak on the subject of paranormal spiritual activity and healing. All angles and opinions will be covered with this line-up. This event will be filled with vendors, speakers and networking oppor tunities for those interested as well as a real life ‘ghost

hunt’ taking place in historic downtown Hot Springs at the old church on Whittington. The event will also host a silent auction to benefit the Garland County Humane Society!

Kimberli has also recruited Ms. Christy Bradshaw to speak at the event. Christy is an accomplished author of two books and writer/director/producer of her new television series “Environmental Presence”, which she hopes to have aired soon. She would like to raise awareness for chemical exposure and aneurysms as these subjects are very dear to her. In early 2000, she suffered an aneurysm herself and experienced something no one could quite explain. The state of the environment is a common ground for scientists, theologians & spiritual exper ts like Dr. Kimberli, for instance. One does not simply ‘hunt ghosts’ but rather they seek answers to questions that are not readily apparent. Her interest in the paranormal has sought her out, rather than her, it. She also hopes to bring

awareness to the many different foundations celebrities have founded and that encourage self-sustainability.

Hot Springs’ own “Haunted Tours” which offers 90-minute walking tours of historic downtown Hot Springs will attend as well. They are offering a special extended tour in honor of the event for $15.

This festival excursion will certainly shed light on the unanswered questions of Hot Springs’ proposed paranormal activity and it may even reveal more. Perhaps the evening will even grant the Spa City another nickname that portrays its paranormal hot spot status. At any rate, it should be both entertaining and educational for everyone that comes. People will have their choice of going all out into the actual ghost hunting adventure with Leeper, or just settling down at Fat Jacks while the others are scaring each other to death in the old church. There is sure to be enough frightening to go around.

HOT WATER HILLS TURNS THE FAUCET ON FULL BLAST Story by Jim G Miller

The water spigot is the symbol for the annual Hot Water Hills Music and Ar ts Festival. This image makes sense as this is a town known for its delicious spring water and its steamy spas. The festival is also like a spigot that pour s for th some of today’s hottest folk.

The boom of ar t and music in Hot Springs over the last few years has been largely due to the passion and work of Bill Solleder and Shea Childs. These two hip cats have been whipping out their bag full of enter tainment and ideas for the boys and girls of Hot Springs for quite a few years now. Pied pipers of cool,

Hot WATER HILLS

they have ushered some of the best talents in independent music as well as a following of locals committed to volunteering in festivals like Hot Water Hills.

In the beginning, the music for the festival was meant to tap into the South which begs the question: what music is of the South?

The possibilities are endless as blues, jazz, country, americana, bluegrass, rock and other genres have ultimately provided inspiration to modern southern music. The variety provides a flood of options for new acts to par ticipate in the festival each year; one such band being the Jamaican Queens. This experimental trap pop band played at Low Key Ar ts during last year’s Valley of the Vapors Independent Music Festival.

HWH will also see the return of Kentucky Knife Fight, a high energy, smar t, gyspy punk band from St. Louis that has shown much love for Hot Springs during the past two years. Also be sure not to miss the Memphis Dawls, Adam Faucett, Luella and the Sun and many others.

“I just make it a point to keep the programming listenable to everyone while also keeping it innovative,” says Bill Solleder, Low Key Arts Executive Director. “It’s a festival that people can go to whether they are age one or one hundred and one.”

Performing now as an established three year tradition is the Arkansas School of Math Science and Art Folk Music Ensemble cotaught by Brian Chilson and James Katowich.

During their folk music course, the students learn the physics of sound and how to build their own folk instruments. The students also learn the history of folk music as well as its social significance and how to write, record and perform their songs prior to staging a performance at the festival.

“Playing at HWH is a thrill and a privilege. It’s an intense experience, a trial by fire for the students who work hard in all their classes.

They only get about 12-15 practice sessions to learn new songs or maybe even to learn to play an instrument. Our students have responded to the challenges so far, and watching them become band mates is one of the pleasures of teaching the class,” says James Katowich.

This year’s Hot Water Hills features a first ever singer-songwriter showcase featuring Claire Turkal, Amyjo Savannah, Amanda Avery and Ben Robbins who will be sharing songs and telling the stories behind them. Also new this year is the skateboard park demo promoting the building of Hot Springs’ very own skate park. There will also be an artisans market, a retro rummage sale, numerous activity tents, a tie-dye workshop by Giovanna Splawn, a hat making workshop by Howlpop Studios, and the

always popular and environmentally friendly cardboard city building contest.

HWH has not only made it an attempt to provide far reaching music to the folks of Arkansas but it has also pioneered itself as being one of the more environmentally conscientious festivals particularly in this portion of Arkansas. It started when long time volunteer and current Low Key Arts board member Michelle Sestilli approached the Arkansas Beautification Committee about lowering the amount of trash produced by the festival. Not only did they succeed, but they also set an example for other festivals and events by receiving a certificate from the state for providing zero percent waste. That’s a feat for any festival where a fair quantity of food and drink is consumed, and there is going to be plenty more this year with tacos being provided by La Pasadita Taqueria and beer by New Belgium Brewing Company.

There also will be Italian style meat sandwiches compliments of one mad, Greek chef from the kitchen across the street at Maxine’s Live.

Maxine’s will also be providing their space for after parties each night during the festival which takes place October 4th and 5th.

October is one of the best times of the year to be in downtown Hot Springs. Coinciding with the October gallery walk, downtown will be buzzing with art and music. Take the kids or take grandpa; there will be something there for everyone.

3rd annual Hot Water Hills Music & Arts Festival

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4 Gates open at 4PM

5PM

The Arkansas School for Math, Sciences and the Arts

FOLK MUSIC ENSEMBLE

Under the direction of ASMSA teachers, James Katowich and Brian Monson, Junior and Senior students from around the state of Arkansas perform traditional and new folk music. Expect to see a dozen or more students singing and playing guitars, bass, mandolin, banjo and other traditional folk instruments.

6PM AJ GAITHER (Kansas City)

Arkansas native and current Kansas City resident AJ Gaither is a one man band picking, grinning and stomping his way through tunes that are steeped in folk, blues and country. It’s often gritty, dusty and dirty story-telling that goes well with an ice cold one.

Look for Gaither to be playing some of his hand made instruments made of old cigar boxes and scrap lumber, spare bolts and wood screws.

7:30PM THE MEMPHIS DAWLS (Memphis)

Holly Cole, Jana Misener & Krista Wroten began creating music together in high school. Although the surroundings were less than romantic, their sound was powerful even then. The three rejoined after roaming the country for college and other bands.

The girls took some cues from artists like Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt. Folk and classic country provide a foundation while the heavy string laden R&B songs from Otis Redding to Minnie Riperton make up the walls and roof. Including Jonathan McLaren on vibraphone and drums and Nahshon Benford on trumpet and euphonium allowed the band to explore more territory. A typical show can take a listener from a warm morning in the arms of a lover to a cold night alone lost in a desert and, thankfully, back again.

$5 ADMISSION Children under 12 are FREE *Schedule is subject to change.

9:00PM TELEGRAPH CANYON (Dallas)

Fort Worth, Texas based Telegraph Canyon is the brain child of American songwriter Chris Johnson. In 2005 Johnson teamed with Andrew Skates, Chuck Brown, Tamara Cauble, Erik Wolfe and Austin Green to form Telegraph Canyon. Known for dynamic performances and orchestral like arrangements, they are not easily categorized as a folk band or an indie rock band. Songs often lead with soft Violin and finger plucked Banjo or Acoustic Guitar only to end at a U2 level of bombast incorporating dozens of instruments.

10:30PM KENTUCKY KNIFE FIGHT (St Louis)

7:30PM LUELLA AND THE SUN (Nashville)

Build a group around seasoned and versatile players like guitarist Joe McMahan, bassist Adam Bednarik (Cortney Tidwell) and drummer Jon Radford (Charles Walker and The Dynamites) and you’re going to get something interesting. Put singer-songwriter Melissa Mathes’ fiery, gut-wrenching vocals at the center, and you get Luella and the Sun, a prowling panther of a band that lopes along under a canopy of blues and brooding N’awlins R&B, waiting to ambush you with piercing riffs and haunting hooks. Their new single was recorded by McMahan (who has also worked with Paul Burch) and mixed by superstar producer Tchad Blake. Since Burch’s initial Hank Williams-and-Buck Owens-influenced records rode the cutting edge of the renewed interest in traditional country, he has steadily moved to incorporate more early rock ’n’ roll and swampy R&B into his style.

Kentucky Knife Fight’s music evokes images of smoky bars where wood paneling lines the walls, worlds covered in shadow and stained with liquor. The St. Louis five piece punk-blues wrecking crew create songs about desperate people doing desperate things in places they shouldn’t be. If there is a jukebox at the end of the universe you will find Kentucky Knife (Arkansas) “Hands down, one of the greatest, most Fight between The Stooges and Tom Waits. thoughtful lyricists the state has to offer, certainly one of the most respected songsmiths around. Adam Faucett Gates open at Noon | Free admission until 4PM manages to get under your ribs, effortlessly.” says the Arkansas Times. “Faucett proceeds to batter your defenses and pull you into a world thats part folk, part blues, part elemental rock stomp, part unidentifiable cosmic holler.” says the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

10:30PM JAMAICAN QUEENS

Four young and rising Arkansas talents will share the (Detroit) stage at Hot Water Hills for a songwriters showcase.

Ryan Spencer pens songs with provocative lyrical imagery.

Each artist will share stories and songs. Scheduled These are accounts of intense violence and hopelessness to perform are Amyjo Savannah, Amanda Avery, juxtaposed with honest tales of love, a lack thereof, and Ben Robbins and Claire Turkal. the pursuit of a reason to live. Jamaican Queens has a unique way of making the uncomfortable tolerable and the sexually explicit accessible. Whether you are looking (Arkansas) for infectious earworms with which to sing along, or While keeping one foot planted firmly in the roots of MDMA-induced club bangers to provide the soundtrack American music, singer/songwriter Brian Martin is forging for an evening of popper huffing — they have got your a distinct path into its future as well. Interweaving old-time back. This is post-everything pop for people terrified country blues and mountain folk music with southern of reality. Heavily influenced by the southern rap beats soul, funk and gospel, Martin seamlessly creates a style of Three 6 Mafia, Gucci Mane, and Young Jeezy, as well that he simply refers to as “front porch soul.” His burly as the experimentation of Brian Eno and Lee Scratch voice and down home witty tales result in music that is Perry— the outcome is an urgent canvas overlaid with both alluring and enduring for generations young and old. pop hooks that would make David Bowie blush.
