IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES

Fresh Spotlight on Art & Culture

he City of Bend has become a hotbed for incredible works of art. Bend embraces the truly fabulous roundabout art, the fresh new mural at the Les Schwab Amphitheater and the sweet culture of the Tin Pan Alley Art Collection in and around the Oxford Hotel. Through the Tower Theatre, Les Schwab Amphitheater and numerous festivals and concerts in Bend’s parks, the city is a draw for residents and visitors alike, as they take in world-class entertainment while surrounded by the majestic high desert landscape. Now Bend has an opportunity to prosper from our cultural capital with a proposal by the Tourism, Arts and Public Safety Initiative who have asked the Bend City Council to place a measure on the November 2013 ballot that would ask voters to increase Bend’s Transient Room Tax (TRT) rate by 2 percent, a change from the current rate of 9 to a new rate of 11 percent.

festivals and distinctive museum and visual exhibitions can be funded that will draw tourists to Bend as well as preserve and highlight our cultural capital. Just imagine the possibilities that the local art scene could do with this creative prospect.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. - Andy Warhol (1928-87 American artist, a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art)

To be true the lodging industry is not in complete agreement about this visitor tax increase. However many lodging operators embrace the proposal to help bring more tourists to Bend. Opponents suggest that it could hurt their business keeping tourists away because of the tax increase or that there has not been enough public input on the proposal. These statements are misleading as people don’t base their trips on the local tax (Bend’s current TRT rate is lower than many similar cities) and there have been numerous meetings and ample time to discuss and revise the proposal. It’s time now to let the voters of Bend decide on the issue.

The majority of the funds raised will go to promoting tourism in Bend, especially during the winter months. A portion will go to public safety (approximately $250,000 annually) for Bend’s police and fire departments to mitigate the city’s public safety funding shortfall.

The initiative is a tremendous opportunity to set the stage for our cultural treasures while improving the local economy.

The unique part of the proposal is particularly exciting to the local arts community whereby about $200,000+ raised from this initiative will create a Cultural Trust Fund that will enhance Bend’s economy by establishing a long-term source of public funding for the arts. Cultural tourism projects such as film, art and music

I encourage you to add your name to the list of supporters by emailing doug@visitbend.com.

Another public hearing will be held on the transit room tax increase proposal on July 10, 7pm at Bend City Hall. Please try to attend.

Literary Word

On The Road From Burns Stories from Central Oregon by Ted Haynes

by Marcee Hillman, A&E Feature Writer

ed Haynes’ collection of 16 Central Oregon short stories immerses the reader into a world of history, intrigue and the fantastic where he introduces rich, complex characters and allows you to become a voyeur into the fabric of their thoughts and lives. The styles of the stories, taking place across two centuries with a wide span of genres, are a great combination. Each tale stands alone and leaves the reader wondering what would happen to the characters if the plot continued, yet Haynes’ writing keeps them looking forward to the adventures of the next. It is impossible to discuss each story in the collection, and though it was difficult to decide which one would make the cut, a few favorites are Kubali and the Vampire Cowboys, written in Sci-Fi - early Kurt Vonnegut style, a story of young Trombolianians “none of them over 900

years old – out to see the galaxy before turning to careers and families.” Looking for new and different experiences, they settled east of the Cascades and become cattle ranchers. It was intriguing and humorous reading about these characters that had “a love of mojitos and potato chips.” On The Mountain created a “What would I do?” question after reading the dialogue between two mountain climbers who face a dilemma when the third climber falls to his death. Fatal Errors tells how a man’s silence about an attempted murder he witnessed comes back to haunt him, and one of the shortest but most intriguing, On the Road from Burns, is a story of one man on a moonlit highway who wins a reprieve from two criminals, leaving you shocked, yet yearning for more. Haynes said he came up with the idea for On The Road From Burns from spending every summer in Central

Oregon, becoming interested in the history of the area. “I wanted to demonstrate that Central Oregon features a wide range of opportunities for fiction,” Haynes said. “I think the region offers a rich environment for writers and we need more of them.” Ted Haynes studied fiction writing at Darmouth College, UC Berkeley and Stanford University. Haynes first visited Central Oregon in 1975 and he and his wife now spend every summer on the Little Deschutes River. www.tedhaynes.com. Haynes’ book is now available wherever books are sold, including Sunriver Books and Music, The Des Chutes Historical Museum, Paulina Springs in Redmond and Sisters, Barnes & Noble and on- Ted Haynes line retailers.

What the Dogs Taught Me

ure, we can train our hunting dogs, but can they train us? Based on a decade of hunting with over two hundred dogs on his television shows, What the Dogs Taught Me: Observations and Suggestions That Will Make You a Better Hunter, Shooter and Dog Owner by Scott Linden will shave two years off the learning curve, empowering newcomers to better enjoy bird hunting and dog training. Linden’s book is now available wherever books are sold, including big-box, independent and online retailers. If you hunt for pheasants, grouse, quail and other upland birds, forming a partnership with your dog can be a daunting challenge. With lessons on dogs’ desires, skills and abilities to learn, care and feeding, health and safety, preparation and shooting,What the Dogs Taught Me is the ultimate guide to maximizing happiness and minimizing frustration whether out on the hunt or relaxing in the backyard. Even better, Linden’s lovable, often hilarious tone makes taking advice on training, strategizing and partnership enjoyable to human and canine alike.

Full of information found nowhere else, it can be described as a “201-level” handbook for bird hunters and dog owners. Linden describes it as a season-full of hunting with your expert best friend, who is generous with his own experiences, offering shooting tips, dog training insights, bird behavior, hunting strategies and shortcuts, tips and tactics. Also included is the most comprehensive glossary of hunting-dog and hunting terms, and an extensive “Ultimate Upland Checklist” for trip planning. Don’t be a student at the school of hunting hard knocks— What the Dogs Taught Me advances an upland hunter’s skills quickly, creatively and without any of the angst of more difficult methods. Scott Linden is known as one of the foremost media interpreters of outdoor pursuits. He is the creator and host of Wingshooting USA television series, as well as two nationally-syndicated radio shows that bear his name. He lives with his wife and two hunting dogs in Bend. www.scottlindenoutdoors.com. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | July 2013 5

For Many Authors Getting Published is Just the Beginning Local Author Suzanne Burns Promotes Latest Poetry Collection

or many writers, getting a book published seems like the end prize after months or even years of hard work. What many aspiring writers don’t realize is that getting published is just the beginning. Most small, independent presses rely on the author to promote their book. In some cases authors must meet a pre-order quota to even see the collection go to press. For The Portland Poems to go into production, writer Suzanne Burns needed to reach the pre-order goal of 55 sold copies in June. For Bendite and regional favorite author, this is not her first rodeo. The Portland Poems, is her

entral Oregon Writers Guild announces its 2013 Annual Literary Harvest Writing Contest. The contest is open to residents of Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook Counties and to all Guild members. Categories include nonfiction, essay, short fiction, poetry and memoir. The entry fee is $10 for Guild members and $15 for non-members. Deadline for entries is September 2. Entries must be submitted by mail. The top ten contest winners will read their stories at the 2013 Literary Harvest on Friday, October 11 and their

13th published book. This collection began with a poem inspired by a friend who survived a suicide attempt in Portland. That poem won the Manhattanville College Inkwell prize, judged by Matthew Dickman, and the rest of the collection formed around the idea of lost souls gathering in a city trying to feel in some way “whole” again. The poems celebrate the every day people of Portland and the reader is left wondering if urban life and country life is really as divided as we think. Burns says, “This collection is different because I feel like I stray away from my poetic pyrotechnics and focus on human situations more than setting or place.” Her next projects include a young adult novel and a memoir of diary entries about an obsession with sugar, tentatively titled Sweet and Vicious. flpbookstore@aol.com.

Literary Harvest Contest Open for Submissions stories will be published in the Literary Harvest Chapbook. The top three winners will receive cash awards: first prize $75, second prize $50 and third prize $25. Founded in 2002, Central Oregon Writers Guild’s mission is to support, encourage and assist local writers through meetings, critique groups, annual events and workshops. Their goal is to advance growth and success for individual writers of all genres and skill levels. The Guild is a not-for-profit organization, where volunteers coordinate the group’s activities. Meetings are free and open to the public. Contest guidelines, rules and entry details can be found on the Guild website, www.CentralOregonWritersGuild.com. Questions should be directed to the Contest Manager at COWGContest@gmail.com.

Secrets from Cheyenne by Dana Burnett

iguring out where you really belong can be a tough job for anyone these days. But when 17 year old champion cowgirl Jessie Smarts arrives at the Happy Trails ranch to work for the summer, it doesn’t feel like the kind of place where she’ll end up having the adventure of her life. “Secrets from Cheyenne is a coming of age youth adventure, a horse story and a love story all rolled into one,” says Redmond-based writer Dana Burnett. “You don’t have to believe in magic or making greater connections but it helps. “Secrets from Cheyenne is what I call a realistic fantasy, which makes it different from a fairytale,” she explains. “The fact that it’s also a rough and tumble, all-out adventure is again a tribute to the books I so loved growing up.” Burnett has over 35 years in working as a freelance journalist, and she started working with horses and reading horse/youth adventure stories at an early age. Her book went thru many evolutions of style and content, and what emerged were three main characters: Jessie, the champion cowgirl/philosopher;

Jake Doyle, a charismatic young cowboy with some rough edges; and Cheyenne, the wild mare who helps bring Jessie closer to her true self in a series of powerful and spiritual encounters. “When Jessie sees Cheyenne running free, she recognizes a kindred spirit. When she finds that Cheyenne has a tough history it makes her more determined to help save the horse from a dismal fate,” Burnett observes. “What Jessie discovers in the process of saving Cheyenne is that she is changing herself by stepping outside of what she used to see as her personal limits.” Jessie is asking big questions about her life so it’s important for her to get answers. Some of these answers are, The Secrets from Cheyenne. Though Burnett’s book is recommended for mature teens and older, the themes woven into the plot line will make the story entertaining for a wide range of readers.

by LEILA SMITH-DAINES EAT (Bend Experimental Art Theater) is presenting A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, adapted by Steve Dooner and directed by David DaCosta. Last summer DaCosta brought to life the musical, HONK! (also produced by BEAT). This summer, he is taking on the challenge of teaching Shakespeare’s vernacular to young actors with ages ranging from 10 to 16. One might think that William Shakespeare was under the same sort of influence when writing A Midsummer Night’s Dream as Lewis Carroll was when writing Alice in Wonderland. The adventures in both literary works are not necessarily based on everyday life with a beginning, middle and an end, but in delightful, pure fantasy scenarios animated with unique characters and plenty of comedy. DaCosta will be using a condensed version of the original script written by a 2nd Street Theater classically trained actor, a www.beattickets.org professor of literature at the www.beatonline.org / 541-419-5558 University of Massachusetts July 18 -20, July 25-27, 7pm and a scholar of ShakeJuly 20-21, 27-28, 2pm

speare’s works. This comedy was easily abridged without losing any of its flavor. The setting of the adaptation takes place in 1950, with no change to the language. The first week of rehearsal was very academic: to study the words of Shakespeare and give the actors a more full understanding of what they are saying, thus perform a more believable and enjoyable characterization while on stage. David’s experience includes directing this version of the show with children in Massachusetts and acting in it while touring the east coast with a company of adults.

CTC to move into a five-eight year lease, followed by the inevitability of searching out another location. This idea was unacceptable to many CTC members. With no other proposals forthcoming, the general membership was informed of the financial crisis and new volunteer help poured in. While three board members resigned, four new people stepped up to the plate to serve. And they are recruiting more. “We now have six board members, but we can have up to 15,” Keith Clinton, current vice chair says. “The difficulties have reenergized CTC and Bend’s theatre-loving community.” For now, Clinton says the company will go “back to the future,” meaning a return to an all-volunteer staff to assure the prosperity of the community theatre in years to come. CTC is emulating other community theatres’ successful volunteer management model along with others to keep CTC growing in a positive direction. The summer theatre highlights at CTC will include Bend Theater for Young People classes and performances from July 1-26 and in August enjoy ‘Sneak Peeks,’ or snippets of the seasons’ upcoming productions with comedies and mysteries at the core of the selection.

by CATHY POLLOCK, A&E Feature Writer ecent financial distress for Cascades Theatrical Company (CTC) has led to unexpected regeneration for the 35-year old Bend community theatre. Originally called Community Theater of the Cascades, CTC began in 1978 with an all-volunteer staff and no home for their productions. The company moved around town, performing at the Kenwood School, Rosie Bareis and others. In the early ‘80s, the troupe moved into an old auto garage, now called the Greenwood Playhouse, located at 148 NW Greenwood, finally paying off the mortgage on the building last year. Today, CTC is at a crossroads, forced to rethink their business model in order to survive. Over the years, the company brought on three paid staff memberstheatre manager, light and sound tech and box office manager. Many factors contributed to the current financial struggles of CTC, including the economy tanking in 2007 and its lasting effects. In the past, the CTC board turned to its members (now over 200 strong) for help, and was able to regain their footing. This year, faced with hardship once again, the board hesitated to repeat the plea, and instead quietly discussed what to do with the prospect of diminishing funds. The idea of selling the theatre was discussed which would have generated immediate income, but force The Cast of Oliver, a CTC production

end Storytelling Circle announces a performance of a fabulous storyteller from New Mexico, Joe Hayes. His concert of stories will be preceded by musical numbers from members of the Bend Ukelele group. Hayes is coming from Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is one of America’s premier storytellers, a nationally recognized teller of tales from the Hispanic, Native American and Anglo cultures. His bilingual Spanish-English tellings have earned him a distinctive place among America’s storytellers. Hayes’s tales are a combination of the traditional lore of the American Southwest and his own imagination. The traditional part is based on things people have told him and on what he has learned from reading the work of folklorists and anthropologists. Hayes own contribution is based on his in-

and Shere Khan the Tiger. Some parts sing solo but most songs and dances will be performed as a group. The SSCT is also looking for a production manager to keep everything moving smoothly and can always use help creating the set or making costumes. Auditions will begin at 1pm on July 29 and close at 3pm. All actors will be asked to read lines. Those wishing a solo singing role will be asked to sing a solo song acapella or with taped accompaniment. Theatre warm up games will introduce the session to bring out your inner jungle animal. For an auditioning script please visit sunriverstars.org or email the director at dramama@comcast.net.

Art in the High Desert

Truly Original-Made for You

by Renee Patrick, Cascade A&E Editor

ringing truly original fine art and craft to Central Oregon is Art in the High Desert’s (AHD) vision, and for the sixth year, the banks of the Deschutes River in the Old Mill District will be transformed into an art collector’s dream. Ranking in at an impressive 14th best fine arts show in the nation by Greg Lawler’s Fine Art Fair Sourcebook, the locally-produced non-profit festival experienced the impact of its success in a record number of artist applications for the 2013 show. “We knew right away that, even though our standards are very high, this pool of artists was going to make the jury process extremely difficult,” said Show Director Carla Fox. “The overall quality of the work is simply astounding.” Applications poured in from 28 states and British Columbia, and in a two-day marathon session, this year’s four jurors had the daunting task of selecting just over 100 visual artists from the talented pool. Each spring the AHD jurors review applications, looking specifically for artwork that goes beyond the expected, the usual, showing excellence in craftsmanship. The process is completely anonymous as each artist is assigned an ID number which is shown along with six images the artists submit, and a brief artist statement. 2013’s jury consisted of Yoshi Aoki, a mixed media sculptor from Seaside, Oregon; Dawn Emerson, a local artist and instructor in pastels and mixed media; Delene Montoya, a Bend furniture maker and designer; and Brian O’Neill, a graphic designer, ceramicist and instructor from Bellingham, Washington. Scoring 14 different media categories, (2-D mixed media, metal work, painting, 3-D mixed media, photography, sculpture, ceramics, print making, digital art, drawing, wearables, fiber non-wearables, glass, wood and jewelry) the highest scoring applications are then invited to the festival. “We curate the show and create what we feel is a wellbalanced collection of media,” said AHD Organizer Dave Fox. As it turns out 2013 will be a banner year for Central Oregon artists, as nine have been juried in, more than ever before. The festival is one of the few shows in the country that offers the artists detailed feedback from the jury room, and the service has been popular among past artists. The 100+ artists invited this year come from 21 states and British Columbia. From Florida and Massachusetts to Kansas and Texas, many of the artists are nationally acclaimed, and with 64 new artists, festival attendees will have a wide array of new art to peruse.

A Sampling of Artists Furniture maker Greg Klassen from Lynden, Washington recently participated in the Smithsonian Craft Show in Washington, D.C., “A great story in itself,” said AHD Board Member Cameron Kaseberg. “But the story took a huge turn when Martha Stewart requested a live interview with Greg on the show floor.” Furniture by Greg Klassen

Artist Amy Flynn from Raleigh, North Carolina creates sturdy, one-of-a-kind sculptures, never to be duplicated. They’re called Fobots, each is numbered and, just like the Tin Man, they each have their own heart inside. Robert Anders from Baker City, Oregon makes original, one-off bowls and vessels in solid bronze, and was recently juried into the prestigious National Western Design Conference in Jackson Hole with pictures in a recent issue of American Craft magazine. Louise Valentine and Brian Provencher from Gibsons, BC Canada, create unique fabric designs for scarves when they pinch, fold, gather, knot, tie or pleat the fabric tightly before it is ever immersed in different dye baths. Artwork from each artist will be available for preview at www.artinthehighdesert.com in August prior to the show, and the festival’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ artinthehighdesert) provides a unique way to view and interact with many of the artists who will be appearing over the three-day weekend. The art will be for sale during the event at a range of prices with a goal of making the experience accessible to everyone. In its third year, the popular artist home

He has spent countless hours observing and painting the landscape, striving to capture the character of the land. Jack’s work focuses on the light moods of waterways and landscapes of the Northwest. In the field, he sketches, photographs, paints, absorbs the emotions and the play of light in the natural scene. Back in the studio, he pulls together all this visual information and creates scenes that are both calming and tranquil. McKinley combines color schemes of a wistful nature that evoke the poetry and mood of a landscape. He paints ethereal scenes with soft colors: violets, hazy blues and shimmering greens. His impressionistic views of Northwest landscapes include the mountains and rivers of the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, where Richard grew up. The haunting beauty of the region is the subject matter of much of his work. Nature of Words 224 NW Oregon Ave., 541-647-2233, www.thenatureofwords.org.

t their studio in Tumalo, artists Randy and Holly Smithey embrace a wide variety of mediums and techniques in their artwork. Conceived as a space to both create and experience art, their studio in a converted pole barn blends the spirit of workshop and gallery. Outside, the field gallery provides a space for contemplation of both nature and art. “Through paths cut in the field the viewer is able to connect and have a conversation with the sculptures and the beautiful natural environment of Central Oregon,” Holly says. Randy adds, “When Untitled by Randy Smithey I create a new larger sculpture, I’m thinking of how the piece will respond to the natural environment and how in turn the environment will react to the artwork.” Randy fabricates his sculptures with metals, including steel, bronze, stainless steel and corten steel. “I don’t try to copy or mimic nature, I strive to compliment it.” Along with sculpture, Randy makes abstract paintings that evoke natural processes. The paintings resist easy interpretation but reward the viewer with layered meaning. Randy explains, “I enjoy mixing the more physical activities in making sculpture with a more introspective approach with painting. Although, to be honest my painting techniques get pretty physical too.” Holly’s approach to her work emphasizes texture. Her background in landscape design and thought process techniques gives her designs in metal and mixed media a unique take on the landscape of Central Oregon. She uses patinas and dyes on a variety of surfaces. “I like to explore techniques that allow an element of spontaneity and chance into my work. I can then manipulate the effects to achieve a specific result,” Holly says. Holly and Randy also collaborate on sculptural works, and have done so since they met back in 2002. “It’s always a journey with collaborative work but one that is very rewarding,” Holly says. “We allow each other to express ideas and then design around those ideas while tweaking until the piece is just right. Assemblage works great this way and we have a lot of fun with the ‘what if ’s’ that come from playing with shapes and spatial balances.” With all these different mediums being explored and used in creating their work, Randy and Holly have decided to share their experience and are starting workshops at their studio in late summer which will include metals and mixed media. Their studio combines working spaces on the lower floor

heard three things right off the bat when Blue Pine Kitchen and Bar opened on Century in Bend where the Players Bar & Grill used to be. Started and manned by a group of restaurant folks, it’s a real foodie’s joint serving intriguing small plates. It’s open late. Not just late for Bend. Really late. Midnight is their early closing time. On Friday and Saturday, they’re open until 2am. You can get frogs legs there. I’ve never been a monster frogs legs fan. I’d much rather eat snails. As wrong as those options actually sound when you think about either for too long, the fact that a new eatery in town actually offers frogs legs makes me happy. For that matter, so does the fact that it’s open so late, even though I’m usually not. And restaurant people? As a former waitress and bartender, that’s a huge plus. So I arrived at Blue Pine with enthusiastic anticipation. I realized even before I entered gastropub, as Blue Pine calls itself, that it’s still a work in progress. Vintage window panes are stacked along the walkway. An outdoor seating area lined with newly-planted pots still looks more like a reclaimed parking lot than a patio. But I immediately responded to the atmosphere both in terms of quirky décor and friendly service. With six of us at the table, my dining companions and I could order with abandon, and that’s exactly what we proceeded to do. The Burger - House ground brisket, chuck and tenderloin with cheddar The kale salad mixed with baby arugula and tossed with warm grilled onions cheese, bacon jam and pickled salad took me by surprise. For starters, the kale was tender (thanks to a light steam) and the sweet onions provided a lovely foil to the greens’ bitter notes. was gone. My only beef with the beef was that I wanted more.

Kid Rock A New Kinda Bargain

www.CascadeAE.com| July 2013

ccording to RollingStone magazine there’s no shortage of big names hitting the road this year, from Lady Gaga to the Who to Taylor Swift. And of course the Rolling Stones who early in May kicked off their 50th anniversary trek in Los Angeles. The Rolling Stones’ 50th anniversary eliminates the spectacle element that has framed their tours for the last 30-odd years. Their focus seems to be musical and celebratory, a spirited romp through one of the greatest songbooks of the rock ‘n roll era against the simplest of backdrops -- a massive screen obstructed at times and, for the first third of the show, the upper lip of the Stones’ tongue logo. At their first concert, The Stones launched into Get Off of My Cloud when they hit the stage -- the UCLA marching band ostensibly opened the show with a rendition of I Can’t Get No Satisfaction on the arena floor aisles - performing as a sextet with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ron Wood, Chuck Leavell and Daryl Jones. In that configuration, the Chuck Berry roots of their material were front and center, a reconnection for the band with their grittier musical selves. This year will see Jagger and Richards joining Watts as septuagenarians and their powerful opening night show proves they need not apologize for attempting to recapture their youth. With ticket prices as high as $600, the crowd upfront hails from well-to-do neighborhoods and is likely funneling each performance through memory’s gauze. For Jagger and the guys, there must be some sense of triumph or discovery in performing Emotional Rescue for the first time ever on a tour. When the tag of “greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world” was bestowed on the Stones, it owed to swagger, songs and personality. Today, they maintain it through the repertoire, Jagger’s kinetic energy, Richards’ charisma and Watts’ impeccable drumming. Filmed testimonials from Iggy Pop, Perry Farrell, Johnny Depp, uber-fans and other celebrities are shown at the beginning of the concert talking about the band’s impact and memories. By various RollingStone writers From rollingstone.com

id Rock is breaking all the rules with the announcement of his U.S. Summer tour by offering tickets in all sections (reserved seats and lawn) at an affordable $20 price point, using paperless tickets where possible, and lowering prices on everything from parking to beer to merchandise for every show in every city. The rock star said it was his decision to take a pay cut and that he made the tickets more affordable to benefit those struggling during the tough economic period. Kid Rock is a country singersongwriter and rapper with five Grammy Award nominations. His debut album, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, was released by Jive Records in 1990. Since the release of Devil Without a Cause, Kid Rock has become one of the biggest rock/pop/ country artist of our time. He has sold 22 million albums to date in the United States. Kid Rock has toured with Ice Cube, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Blink 182, Metallica, Creed, Sevendust, Korn, System of a Down, Buckcherry, Fuel, Aerosmith, Run D.M.C., Peter Frampton and many other artists. Top songs: All Summer Long, American Badass, Lonely Road of Faith and Picture. Kid Rock is touring in support of his 10th album, Rebel Soul, and performed a special set on the outdoor stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC. Kid Rock’s $20 Best Night Ever tour, which will stop at 29 U.S. locations, will also star Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band, with Kool & The Gang, ZZ Top and Uncle Kracker making special appearances on select dates, according to the musician’s website, www.kidrock.com. Tickets to the shows, which kick off in Bristow, Virginia at Jiffy Lube Live on June 28, and end in Tampa, Florida at the Live Nation Amphitheatre on September 15, are available at Livenation.com.

Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Tour

Ever So Android

orming in the year 2012, Drew Murray and Hope Simpson came together to create the increasingly popular duo that is Ever So Android. This pumping, energetic Seattle partnership has been described as a blending of the Black Keys and the famous Deadmau5. If such a mix interests readers, then they will be happy to know that Ever So Android now has a short four track album which is available online. The tracks on this album consist of #inferno, 40 seconds, Oblivion and The Gathering. Each of these songs brings a constant, driving energy to listeners that will undoubtedly please those looking to bring a pulsating energy to their day. Pressing guitar rhythms help to push the songs along while hypnotic vocals dance within each track and entrance anyone lucky enough to get within earshot. Moreover, constant synthesizer lines jump into the mix, creating an audible contrast between the electronic and the organic which only serves to emphasize other elements within the song. In other words, the Deadmau5 half of this band helps to accent the Black Keys portion of the duo and the result is nothing short of mesmerizing. But, unlike many other bands, the Ever So Android experience is a dish best served live. To really appreciate the talent held by this band, attending a live show is the best course of action. Head bobbers as well as fans of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be especially pleased as Murray digs into his guitar and plays along with synthesizers while Simpson showcases moves on stage reminiscent of Karen O. Yet, perhaps more impressive than the overall sound is the manner in which it is created. Murray creates the loops for each live performance on the spot, using foot pedals to capture any rhythm he wishes to repeat again as opposed to just pressing play on a laptop. All in all, the band is hauntingly entertaining to watch live but if readers can’t catch the duo in person then Ever So Android’s new album will have to do. http://eversoandroid.bandcamp.com.

23-year old Central Oregon tradition and community art gathering, Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival, begins Friday, July 12 at 5pm and continues Saturday, July 13 from 11am - 11pm and Sunday, July 14 from 11am - 5pm. The festival is a celebration of the arrival of summer located in historic downtown Bend. It’s three admission-free days of adventure as attendees meander through the streets of downtown Bend exploring booths, dancing to live music, enjoying libations and sampling treats. The festival includes more than 125 artisans/crafters this year from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, California, Texas and British Columbia. Mediums represented include painting, jewelry, photography, ceramics, glass, fiber, metal, wood, collage, sculpture and new this year, botanical art. The Bend Summer Festival will also host the Tillandsia Terrariums art workshop with Sarah VanAmburg on July 14 at 1pm at Sarah’s booth on the corner of Minnesota Avenue and Wall Street. This workshop is available to the first 30 people who register with Sarah at sarahvanamburg@gmail.com and is appropriate for all ages. Children will love creating their own terrarium, and the Tillandsia air plant is very easy to care for. Cost for this workshop is $15 per person.

he Best of Jury Award this year goes to photographer Dan Elster, a self-taught photographer who pursued his dream of a career in wildlife photography eight years ago after quitting his job in Chicago and hitting the road with his wife. Today, they have a family and are settled in Phoenix, Oregon. His subjects Bend Great Horned Owl by Dan Elster are 100 percent wild (no captive or “staged” shots) and that is a significant point of distinction for him. Capturing behavior and the inclusion of the habitat defines his style. Bend Great Horned Owl sets him apart as a stunning observer of wildlife as well as a skilled technical artist whose composition takes your breath away. Elster is the recipient of the $500 Best of Jury cash award. www.elsterphotography.com

his year’s Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival fine art comes from soulful local painter John Hillmer who is influenced from his travels all over the world, and his life here in Bend, where he still resides part of the year. C3 Events started collaborating with John Hillmer 20 years ago to artistically brand its celebration of community through its events. The image contains ceramics, an upright acoustic bass, a horn, foliage, the sun representing Summer, the moon representing Central Oregon beautiful skies, a fish which metaphorically showcases the outdoor lifestyle in Bend and modern, brilliant colors. Hillmer ’s award-winning art and design work gets around. His large acrylic stage murals have made appearances with artists such as Ray Charles, Keb Mo, and Maya Angelou. His posters and designs have been used to promote more than 50 music, literary and community events across North America. He earned his masters degree in International Education while working as both teacher and publications director at the American School Foundation of Guadalajara. His artwork reflects his own experiences living, traveling and teaching in Mexico and in his own colorful observations about life’s vast interconnections.

Music Notes

What it Takes to be a Successful Musician

www.CascadeAE.com| July 2013

uring the first few weeks of June, I spent time putting together the new student binders for our summer classes. Along with the necessities of musical scholarship – a sharp new pencil, sheets of new music, instructions on how to hold and play an instrument – I placed a very important document at the front of each folder, titled, “What it Takes to be a Successful Musician.” At Cascade School of Music, the skills required to become a great musician are not perfect pitch, quick fingers or a natural affinity for math. Instead, the tenets of music-making for our students comprise the basic platform for all education – effort, patience and respect. While these principles might seem intuitive, they are particularly important values to instill in our newest musicians. Learning to play music is one of the greatest endeavors that we, as humans, can pursue. It is a beautiful combination of art, skill and performance. Still, successful musicianship requires concerted effort, dedicated time and a lot of patience. The most gifted musicians will tell you that becoming a musician is not easy. However, as long as our students are willing to follow our three basic principles, the process of learning to play an instrument can be great fun. For children, summertime in particular is an ideal time to take up an instrument. It is the season where the competing priorities of busy childhoods are slightly lessened. Some of the greatest obstacles to music education are the initial stages of learning an instrument and developing a consistent practice. The freedom of summer allows for time to learn basic musical foundations and to integrate practice into a daily routine. In the coming weeks I look forward to handing our new and returning students their music binders. Learning the value of effort, patience and respect has never sounded better than it does here! by Jeannemarie Halleck, development director of the Cascade School of Music. The Music Beat is A monthly column that appears in Cascade A&E covering a wide array of musical topics for musicians and music lovers young and old.

Guitar Legend Albert Lee Musical Mentor to Everly Brothers, Emmy Lou Harris & Eric Clapton

amed the “Best Albert Lee Country Guitarist” for five consecutive years by Guitar Player magazine, Albert Lee brings his blend of country and rock ‘n’ roll to Bend’s Tower Theatre Tuesday, July 9 at 8pm. Born and raised in England, Lee moved to Los Angeles in 1974, playing guitar for Emmy Lou Harris’ Hot Band and touring the world with Eric Clapton. More recently, Albert toured with former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. In 2009, Albert received a Grammy for his work on Brad Paisley’s Cluster Pluck. “This is a rare opportunity to see one of the world’s greatest guitarists up close and personal,” said Ray Solley, executive director of the Tower Theatre Foundation. “Albert takes the Telecaster guitar to new levels of musical mastery. No wonder they created a special guitar for him and named it ‘Music Man.’” $19 / $24, Reserved seating, Plus $1 Historic Theatre Preservation Fee. 541-317-0700 or www.towertheatre.org.

Oregon’s Army Band Performs Free Concert July 16 at Tower

The Notables Swing Band brings back the “golden oldies” from the Big Band era when swing ruled the dance floors. Many of their band members (17 total) remember those full sounds and infectious rhythms and in 2010 the band was formed to recreate this great music. Lori Fletcher’s love of the classic eras of the ‘30s through the ‘60s, jazz, blues and R&B, inspired her to create Deco Moon Jazz where she fronts the band as their Girl Singer. Deco Moon focuses on the swingin’ standards, down and dirty Delta blues and classic Motown of years gone by. Jenny Conlee has been playing music in Oregon for over 20 years, first with Calobo (a roots rock band in the 90’s), then to The Decemberists, and currently Black Prairie. She began playing accordion about 15 years ago and fell in love with the sounds of French Musette music. In the accordion program there will be traditional French and Italian songs as well as original compositions in the Musette style. Ruckus is a popular group from Bend. Each Ruckus member brings their own blend of entertainment experience to the group of five. Creating a unique musical collage, unlike any other, was intentional. Audiences are thrilled when they hear the sound of a song they forgot how much they loved. All this great entertainment along with 65 juried artist booths, a food court, an art activity center for kids, demos and more, can be found throughout the long weekend in the Village at Sunriver. www.sunriverartfaire.com, 877-269-2580.

he 4th annual Sunriver Art Faire, set for August 9-11, announces the best entertainment lineup yet. Returning again this year are popular entertainers including CinderBlue, Lindy Gravelle, Summit Express Jazz Band, Quincy Street and, after missing last year’s event, The River Pigs. New this year are Bill Keale, Burnin’ Moonlight, Tom & Heather Duo, Annie Bany, The Notables, Deco Moon Jazz, Jenny Conlee and Ruckus. Keale was born on Oahu and raised near the shores of Kailua Bay. He has achieved both the Best of Central Oregon Singer/Songwriter and Best Local Musician Awards. He has appeared on the Oregon Art Beat program as a featured artist. Bill’s talent is undeniable, his voice unmistakable and his presence healing. One thing is absolutely certain about the acoustic trio Burnin’ Moonlight their love of music and snappy stage banter is infectious and engaging. With diverse musical backgrounds, they shift smoothly between spirited traditional bluegrass, rootsy folk, a little country, swing and downright lowdown blues. Tom and Heather Duo, from the five piece band Out of the Blue, is performing as a duo all over Central Oregon. Heather’s husky voice can be heard singing songs from Bonnie Raitt and Aretha Franklin to Joe Cocker or the Rolling Stones. The sounds of Tom’s acoustic guitar playing beautiful songs such as Blackbird or rocking the audience with upbeat dance songs will make you wiggle right off your chair. Annie Bany has always been a performer, and her love for music runs deep. Her motivation for storytelling comes Bill Keale from the tall tales of the theatrical stage. She dreamed of being an actress on Broadway until she stumbled upon her love for songwriting after receiving her first guitar. She has morphed from an imaginative child to a passionate and creative young woman who has written or co-written every song on her debut album, Barefoot & Young.

New Perspective For July by Eileen Lock

tart the month a little slower, taking time during the first few days to rest and catch up. By the 5th you realize how important this has been. An upswing on the 7th is followed by the New Moon on the 8th and you will be ready for a fresh start. Communications are very important on the 9th so speak up and let the world know what you want to do next. A change of energy on the 13th invites you to focus on home and family and remind yourself that nurturing is an important part of life. Opportunities are plentiful on the 17th and a decision may be necessary by the 19th. Be willing to take action on the 20th and be sure to only do what feels right. The Full Moon on the 22nd could bring unexpected changes and you may feel like the rules have changed. Give yourself a few days to find your new groove. Let go of your worries on the 26th and invite yourself to let go of the past in order to move forward. Keep an open heart from the 28th to the 30th and you will have a better chance of seeing the opportunities that are available. It will be necessary to turn a corner and not look back on the 31st when you realize the changes that need to be made. Have faith in your journey and trust that you are doing the right thing. www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com.
