CLUBBING

The Root Cellar offers weekend line-up

T

HE ROOT CELLAR IN Greenfield has two great back-to-back nights of music coming up today and tomorrow.

First, today, The True Jacqueline, Gladshot, ZoKi and Mystics Anonymous play the club. As longtime readers know, I was a big proponent of The True Jacqueline back when they first hit local stages a decade(!) ago. I admit I lost track of the band and I know some members have pursued other projects, but this should be a superb show, as it also features Jeff Steblea’s fantastic Mystics Anonymous.

Then tomorrow, The Root Cellar will have the legendary punk band The Proletariat in the house for a night of raucous chaos that will also feature Moving Targets, Feminine Aggression and Human Ignorance The Proletariat are considered one of the most influential post-punk bands (or leaders of the second wave of punks, depending on your viewpoint) of the early 1980s. Originally inspired by artier punks such as The Buzzcocks, The Jam, Gang of Four, and Wire, The Proletariat mashed up punk with more melodic elements.

Fronted by singer Richard Brown, the Boston-based band used the short, rapid-fire methods of hardcore to express its leftist political lyrics on top of danceable music.

The Root Cellar is located at 10 Fiske Ave.

With top-flight players such as Beau Sasser and Darby Wolfe bringing the Scouting report funk various weeks, it’s a sure • The next item isn’t a bet for lovers of the genre. As a nighttime event, but it’s at a side note: Beau Sasser’s Escape club and worthy of noting: Plan will be playing Bishop’s on Local vocal legend Janet Ryan Saturday, supported by Brother will be holding “Master Vocal Sal.

Madonna welcomes spring with new album

M

ADONNA IS readying a new album for release this spring.

“Madame X” will arrive on June 14.

It is the 14th studio album for the superstar who debuted in 1984 and went on to becoming the best-selling female artist of all time with over 300 million sales worldwide.

The debut single “Medellin,” a collaboration with Columbian star Maluma, was released last week.

The 15-track recording has Madonna singing in Portuguese, Spanish and English, and was influenced by her living in Portugal.

“Lisbon is where my record was born,“ said Madonna in a press release. ”I found my tribe there and a magical world of incredible musicians that reinforced my belief that music across the world is truly all connected and is the soul of the universe.”

Madonna is expected to tour to support the record, but no dates have been announced.

Liner notes • Jason Aldean’s “Ride All Night” tour will play the Xfinity Center in Mansfield

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.

Two years later, the duo retired from live performing and became a studio-only band. The group has sold over 40 million records and is known for hits like “Deacon Blues,” ‘Reelin’ In The Years,” and “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number.”

Fagen and Becker eventually returned to touring together up until Becker’s death in 2017.

Tickets for the show are available through the venue website at mahaiwe.org.

“A Summer Evening with Natalie Merchant” features the former lead singer of 10,000 Maniacs in an acoustic setting with guitarist Erik Della Penna.

“Last July, Erik and I had a very pleasant experience touring the United Kingdom as an acoustic duo,” the singer writes on her website.

“This Summer, we’ve decided to do a tour of New England following the same format as last year, steering clear of big cities and playing unique and intimate venues in small, picturesque towns.”

Comic brings stories, songs to Roar!

Francis Ellis of ‘Barstool Sports’ coming to MGM Springfield for 4 performances

C

By Keith O’Connor

Special to The Republican

omic and “Barstool Sports” personality Francis Ellis will bring laughter to Roar! Comedy Club at MGM Springfield for four shows over three nights beginning today.

Ellis hosts the Sirius XM morning radio show called “Barstool Breakfast,” alongside Willie Colon. He frequently stars in sketches alongside famous athletes and celebrities and as his website states “stealing the spotlight from them with his jawline, on-screen charisma, and shockingly red hair.”

A graduate of Harvard University, he performs most nights in New York, but has brought his comedy around the world to China, Australia, Sweden, British Columbia, as well as across the United states. He often incorporates his satirical keyboard songs in his act.

The comedian, who makes his home in New York, recently spoke with The Republican about his life and comedy.

IF YOU GO Event: Francis Ellis When: Today, 8 p.m.; tomorrow, 7:15 p.m.; Saturday 7:15 p.m.; Saturday, 9:45 p.m.

Where: MGM Springfield’s Roar! Comedy Club at the Armory Cost: $22 For more info: Online at mgmspringfield. mgmresorts.com

Q.

What made you think that you could be funny?

A.

I didn’t know, necessarily.

You can be funny in conversation, but on stage it is a much different thing. It is a lot harder to be funny when people expect you to be. I was always taking risks as a kid ... always You attended Harvard trying to say something to get University, but there is no a reaction from people. As a comedy major there, right? kid in school I would always raise my hand at big gatherI studied government ings and say something funny. with a minor in English. My I cared a lot about making interest was in the Middle East people laugh, it was important because I thought that I might to me. end up in the foreign service or the CIA. I actually did apply How would you deto the CIA but I don’t think scribe your comedy? they liked my application. I answered yes to the question Well, it’s definitely not “Did you ever smoke pot?” So, that fell through and I moved political, it’s more stories from to New York City in 2011 to try my life and themes that I have noticed. Plus lots of music, comedy. (Ellis also attended comedy songs and stuff like Yarmouth High School in that. I’ll have a piano on stage Maine, where he was an allstate lacrosse and soccer play- and my songs are all originals. er and later played lacrosse at You are a blogger and Harvard.)

“This intentional lack of surface decoration is intended to better compliment your meal and not compete visually with your food,” she said.

“I also want to help provide a beautiful and calm backdrop to your dinner table.”

Hilton will be one of the potters featured on the 15th annual Asparagus Valley Pottery Trail Studio Tour, which will take place along the Interstate 91/Connecticut River Valley corridor in Northfield, Pelham, Northampton, Hadley, Greenfield and Shelburne Falls.

She has been part of the pottery trail event for 14 of 15 years, beginning at a house in the woods on the Greenfield/ Bernardston town line.

“The event has grown so much over the past decade, and I continue to be amazed by the crowds of customers and collectors that pack our studios over the weekend for this annual studio tour,” she said. “It’s a chance for me to show my newest work and motivation to have a huge selection of pots for an abundant display.”

It’s also a celebration of spring’s arrival and a chance for people to get out into the Pioneer Valley. “Customers come to see what we’ve been up to the past year, what new things we’re exploring, ask about glazes and custom din-

Comedians like myself can be so much more visible today and build their brand on their own through social media, allowing for you to be seen by so many more without hiring a production team. On the flip side, you can become obsessed with social media and find yourself struggling to live in the real world. You’ve got to find a balance.

some items that are much simpler than what I usually create,” she said. These pieces are part of a line of work that is focusing on making “accessible dinnerware.”

She has been inspired by her father, who, because of his Alzheimer’s disease, has trouble using conventional plates and bowls. “These pieces, which are sort of plate/bowl combos, are meant to make eating easier for folks who may struggle with eating from conventional dinnerware,” she said.

Visitors — who come from near and far — looking for a hands-on experience, should plan to stop at Lucy Fagella

“They can try their hands on the potter’s wheel or just watch one of my students demonstrating.”

She also will have her line of cremation urns for pets and people available. Some of these are one of a kind that are not yet on her website.

nerware and see what inspires them,” Hilton said. “They buy what they love! They might not know it until they see it.”

Collectors of her work often add to their existing collection, keeping with the same glazes they already own. “But people who appreciate pottery know that not everything has to match,” she added.

Studios may be visited in any sequence or combination that suits individual itineraries and interests. Look for yellow “Pottery Trail” signs that point the way to the individual studios from the main roads.

Brochures with a tour map and list of participants are available at each studio and online at asparagusvalley potterytrail.com or apottery trail.com.

The trail is free and includes a “passport” that visitors receive at their first stop. If it’s stamped at seven studios, it’s entered in a drawing to win cups made by the 24 potters. New for the trail’s 15th anniversary: Anyone whose passport is stamped at all nine studios will be eligible for a drawing to win a set of nine dessert plates made by host potters.

The artists encourage visitors to ask them questions about setting up a studio, making a living as a potter and what inspires them.

Many of the potters also have treats for visitors, like seasonal foods. At Tom White’s woodland studio in Northfield, visitors will find food, demonstrations and music by the Fiddlin’ Chiselers. Grammy-winning Steve Katz, a founding member of Blood, Sweat and Tears and husband of potter Alison Palmer, will join the Chiselers as a guest performer this year.

Molly Cantor of Molly Cantor Pottery in Shelburne Falls and her guests Liz Rodriguez and Arthur Halvorsen will have work to look at and purchase as well as have work in progress on hand to educate trailgoers about their diverse and involved techniques.

Hofbrauhaus refurbished, reborn as 1105 Main

O

PERATING OUT OF the structure that was the long-time home of the Hofbrauhaus, 1105 brings a new style – contemporary with an Italian accent – to a location once dominated by Central European tradition.

Joe Stevens, who operates 1105 Main, has transformed an Old World ambiance of polished wood and crisp white linen into a venue with a colorful 21st century vibe. Table and chair seating dominates; the adjacent bar has also been redecorated and refreshed.

The menu at 1105 Main features pastas like Lasagna ($19) made with wild boar and bison; there’s also a Brisket Mac & Cheese ($17).

Chophouse entrees on the docket include a Double-cut Pork Chop ($22), Salmon ($24) with a sweet chili glaze, and a Braised Lamb Shank ($24) that’s partnered with creamy polenta.

The kitchen at 1105 Main is smoker-equipped, so it can turn out St. Louis Pork Ribs ($23).

Listings among the “Snacks & Starters” are simple options such as Fried Chickpeas ($5) and Warm Ciabatta ($3.50) as well as small plates like Shrimp & Tostones ($12).

We started with an eclectic pair of appetizers. A trio of Brisket Tacos ($11) were individually stuffed with shredded smoked brisket, garnished with pickled strips of carrot, summer squash, zucchini, and red onion, and finished with a drizzle of mildly spicy Alabama sauce.

Golf ball-sized Arancini (fried risotto balls – $8) were presented in a puddle of Bolognese, the sauce’s flavor sharpened by the salt-cured meatiness of prosciutto and the savory intervention of parmesan.

Our entree quartet effectively summarized the range of 1105 Main’s repertoire.

At left, a Cubano-Italiano sandwich made with Mojo Pork, Prosciutto, Pickles, Swiss Cheese and Pesto-Dijonaise. Above, an order of house smoked chicken wings. (DON TREEGER / THE REPUBLICAN)

1105 MAIN Address: 1105 Main St., West Springfield Telephone: 413-737-4905 Website: 1105main.net Hours: Tuesday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Saturday 3 to 9 p.m.

Entree prices: $15-$24 Credit cards: American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa Handicapped access: Accessible, but rest rooms not equipped for wheelchair use Reservations: Accepted 1105 Main is an American Eatery featuring American and Italian inspired dishes, smoked meats, increase a guest check by and a rotating beer and wine menu. It is located where the former Hofrbauhaus stood for years around $30 a bottle. at 1105 Main Street. (DON TREEGER / THE REPUBLICAN)

Shrimp Risotto ($20) was conventionally styled, the six standard-sized shrimp neatly arrayed across a pea and sliced mushroom-studded risotto.

Glossed with reduced broth, the shrimp had a subtly musky flavor; a pan-crisped wafer of parmesan garnished the dish.

The restaurant’s Grilled Filet of Beef ($24) was also reassuringly predictable, although a smear of chimichurri, the robustly-flavored South American sauce of oil, garlic, and herbs, was offered as a condiment.

A Brisket Plate ($20) featured both slices of the “flat” cut as well as bite-sized “burnt ends.” The barbecue had been pleasantly infused with smoke,

while the tomato-based sauce with which the meat had been brushed proved to be somewhat understated.

Our fourth choice, Duck Breast ($24), capitalized on that bird’s affinity for fruit flavors. The latter appeared on the plate in the form of a dried fruit chutney as well as in a Port wine sauce.

We did have one quibble with our entree experience.

Cutting up items like the filet and the duck breast before plating them certainly creates a more generous-looking portion, but unless arranged on a truly hot plate, all that handling means the food leaves the kitchen at a less-than-ideal serving temperature. That

temperature deficiency was evident at 1105 Main.

Most entrees are served with appropriate sides, and those we were offered, like the pureed sweet potato and the steamed baby bok choy that came with our duck, were competently executed.

Additional accompaniments, such Baby Spinach sauteed with garlic and Cornbread with served with a chipotle butter (both $3.50) can be ordered so as to further elaborate on the main course experience.

Passing up desserts like White Chocolate & Berry Budino ($6) and Orange Creamsicle Cake ($7), we instead indulged in the intensity of a Chocolate Layer Cake ($7) that featured a chocolate mousse filling and a decadently intense ganache icing.

The restaurant’s Creme Brulee ($7) had a more restrained presence, the custard light textured and the sugar crust shatteringly thin.

Our third selection, Brooklyn Style Cheesecake ($7) was pleasant but not particularly noteworthy.

Its menu and decor calibrated to deliver a 21st century experience, 1105 Main is a restaurant that, on the whole, we’d be willing to visit again.

I won’t take Notre Dame for granted again

T’S EASY TO TAKE loved ones for granted.

We see some of them so often, we sometimes forget what makes them so special. I know I’m guilty of that sometimes when it comes to my wife and certain friends. And I certainly know I can be the same way when it comes to some of the things I love – whether it’s certain familiar wines or places we see all the time.

I got thinking about all this last week soon after the devastating fire ripped through Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

I’m in Paris now as I write this week’s wine column.

And I will confess that I sometimes used to take this beautiful, grand building for granted.

I’ve been very lucky when to comes to visiting Paris.

I’ve been here many times, particularly in the last few years. I’ve come here mainly because of my love of wine.

Instead of going to Florida or some other vacation destination, I’ve used practically every spare vacation day I have to make one pilgrimage after another to France to visit wineries throughout the country.

amazed the building is still standing.

Seeing Notre Dame and being in Paris, I’m also reminded of the resiliency of Parisians.

Make fun of them all you like but I find them to be some of the nicest, kindest people in the world. Just make sure you make an effort to speak a few words in French to them.

Parisians also know how to bounce back from adversity.

The first time I saw this was in January 2015, when my wife and I were in Paris a few days after terrorists killed several people. I will also always remember how nice and kind Parisians were when I visited France in November 2001.

Shortly after 9/11, every Parisian I encountered was kind and thoughtful and made me feel right at home. This time is different. The fire at Notre Dame appears to be an accident. No one was killed or died in the blaze. But it’s still devastating. It still hurts. And the city is still grieving what was lost. But they also appreciate what they still have. And I do too.

One of my favorite memories from this past weekend was sitting along the Seine, drinking a glass of wine and looking out across the water just before sunset. I wasn’t the only one who decided to have a picnic along the river that night. It was a little more crowded than usual.

Then again, it was a holiday weekend. And it was unseasonably warm. From where I was sitting, I couldn’t actually see Notre Dame. But she was close by, just beyond the buildings I was looking at as the sun set in the distance.

And even though I couldn’t see Notre Dame, I was still thinking about her and her timeless beauty.

Odds are, I wasn’t the only one thinking the same thing as well.

Cheers!

Sous vide as a restaurant technique first appeared in France during the 1970s, eventually becoming a cornerstone of modernist cuisine, that collection of techniques and recipes that are founded on a scientific understanding of the chemistry and physics of food.

Chefs and food enthusiasts with an interest in sous vide and what it can do in a variety of applications have a resource in “Sous Vide,” a semi-annual journal dedicated to the technique.

Each issue of Sous Vide includes recipes that use the technique not only for the preparation of meat and fish but for desserts, custards, and frozen confections as well.

Book notes, reviews of modernist cuisine restaurants, and articles on the science of sous vide are also part of every issue.

The magazine’s website, sousvidemagazine.com, contains information on how to subscribe, as well as offering additional content on the technique of sous vide itself.

The magazine can also often be found on the newsstand racks of big box booksellers.

McDonald’s Corp. makes is newsworthy. April 2019 has brought two significant changes to the company’s U.S. menu strategy, both of which seemed aimed at simplifying back-of-the-house operations.

Earlier this month, McDonald’s announced it was reducing the number of items that would be available as part of its late-night menu. Starting April 30, that roster would be limited to eight popular food categories.

The after-hours list will include the Big Mac and the Quarter Pounder, fries and related sides, Happy Meals, McCafe beverages, Chicken McNuggets, and a small assortment of dessert items.

More complicated sandwiches and salads will no longer be available after midnight.

The second change involves the phase out of its premium burger line, “Signature Crafted Recipes,” which was introduced in 2017. Those options involved included 100% fresh (not frozen) beef, premium rolls, and garnishes like mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and bacon. At the time there was considerable speculation that the brand was moving towards a more “customizable” burger experience.

The current menu revamp will shift the 100% fresh beef burgers into the chain’s Quarter Pounder line, which will also have two garnish options – one with bacon and a second “deluxe” with lettuce, onions, cheese, and sliced tomato.

Information on McDonald’s menu items can be found at the chain’s website, mcdonalds.com.

the creativity of local and regional beer culture, and the heritage of some of Europe’s great breweries and beer styles. Übeer Fest is truly all killer, no filler.”

In addition to the Western Mass. breweries which will be on hand, local importer Shelton Brothers will bring a selection of some of the global brews that the company has been known for. These include legendary lambic brewers from Belgium, and French saison maker Brasserie Thiriez, which was recently dubbed “the most influential brewery you probably never heard of ” by Beervana. “Übeer Fest offers guests the opportunity to taste incredible beer not easily found outside of a few select stores and pubs,” Lattanzi said. “There is simply no other beer festival in the region with this depth and quality.”

I don’t know if Lattanzi is totally right about that last statement (I would argue that there are several that are just as good), but I am sure Übeer Fest is one of the best beer gatherings in the state.

Anchor teamed up with San Franpsycho, a community-based clothing and lifestyle brand, for the brew. Coming in at 6.3% alcohol by volume, the beer is described as having a “strong tropical fruit flavor and aromatics with a slightly sweet finish.” To amplify the fruit taste, peach and apricot purees were added in secondary fermentation.

Sounds like something to look for this summer.

Whether it’s a concert in a small hall, a gathering of a few friends for beers, or a cozy diner, I tend to get more out of smaller, more contained events.
