Dennis Crommett not too old to rock ‘n’ roll

t’s been about a year since I checked in with the talented Dennis Crommett, and lo and behold, I get an email from him announcing a pair of shows he’ll be playing in the coming weeks.

Nightclubs THURSDAY 350 Grill: Boogie Boys. 350 Worthington St., Springfield Anthony’s Gentlemen’s Club: Nude dancing. 500 New Ludlow Road, South Hadley Buccaneer Lounge: DJ with rock and Top 40. 86 Maple St., Agawam Cabot Comedy Club: Cabot Comedy Club: Live Comedy. 66 Cabot Street, Chicopee Center Stage Gentlemen’s Club: Nude dancing. 267 Dwight St., Springfield Christy’s Lounge: DJ. 278 Main St., Indian Orchard Club Castaway: Nude ladies dancing. Routes 5 and 10, Whately Club One Entertainment Complex: Steel N Easy Band Live Country Dancing in the Hills. 60 North Westfield St., Feeding Hills Delaney House: Italian music with Luke Baillargeon. 3 Country Club Road, Holyoke Doc’s Place: Karaoke. 1264 Granby Road, Chicopee Donovan’s Irish Pub: Live entertainment. 1655 Boston Road #C6, Springfield

The somewhat shocking part of the email, however, was the title of it: “Turn 40 with me.”

In my mind, there is no way Mr. Crommett is 40 years old.

First of all, if he’s 40, then I must be around 107, but never mind that. Crommett simply doesn’t look 40.

But no matter. Age is just a number, as they say (albeit a number that keeps getting annoyingly bigger). Anyway, Crommett will be playing two shows in two different formats: First tomorrow, Crommett will bring his full band, Spanish For Hitchhiking, to The O’s Music Bar at 330 Amherst Road in Sunderland.

Dennis writes: “I had some fun times at this easy-going bar in college, and we’re gonna light it up with our friends The Fawns and The Big Why.” That sounds like a great way to start sliding into whatever decade you’re celebrating.

A week later on April 26,

Musician Dennis Crommett is celebrating turning 40 with shows at The O’s Music Bar in Sunderland, and the Parlor Room in Northampton. (CHATTMAN PHOTOGRAPHY)

Crommett will do a solo opening show for his friends Opal Canyon at the band’s album release show at the Parlor Room at 32 Masonic St. in Northampton.

Dennis doesn’t actually turn 40 until April 30, so these two shows are your last chance to see him before old age sets in with “weight gain, hair loss, mom jeans, dad bod,” as he described the aging process.

So go see him while he still has none of those features.

Scouting report Pamela Means will play an intriguing show at Luthier’s Co-op on April 27. Since this year is the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album, Means will play the entire record in order, live, as a solo act. The show starts at 8 p.m. Luthier’s Co-op is at 108 Cottage St. The Dave Fields Band will play Theodores’ in Springfield on Saturday. Fields, the

son of noted composer/arranger/producer Sammy “Forever” Fields, grew up in New York City, always spending time in his father’s recording studio. This exposed him to the best NYC studio musicians of the time and artists such as the likes of Sammy Kahn, Rupert Holmes and Stevie Wonder. As he learned piano and embraced the blues, Fields reputation grew, leading him to record with such notables as Ahmed Ertegen, Aretha Franklin and The Family Stand. He has done shows with Lucky Peterson, Joe Louis Walker and Hubert Sumlin as well as jazz names Dave Valentin, Alex Foster and Delmar Brown, just to name just a few. Theodores’ is at 201 Worthington St. Do you have a cool event coming up at a local club? Send me a note about it at least two weeks in advance to geolenker@ yahoo.com and I’ll try to get it in this space.

Celebrating 50 years of Jethro Tull Martin Barre to bring ‘tour of tours’ to Academy of Music on Saturday

Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre will perform Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Academy of Music in Northampton.

Special to The Republican

hances are you’ve heard a Martin Barre guitar riff before.

That’s because the former Jethro Tull guitarist’s place in rock history was cemented as far back as 1971, when “Aqualung” propelled the band to stardom and established Barre as one of rock’s most creative guitarists.

Barre will bring 50 years of Jethro Tull to the Academy of Music Theatre on Saturday night as part of the “Stand Up America” tour, promising to deliver the “tour of tours” for longtime fans and casual listeners alike.

IF YOU GO Event: Jethro Tull’s Guitarist Martin Barre presents “Stand Up America: Celebrating 50 Years of Tull” When: Saturday, 8 p.m.

Where: Academy of Music Theatre, 274 Main Street, Northampton Tickets: Start at $38.50 More in formation: Academy of Music Theatre box office at 413584-9032 ext.105 or visit aomtheatre.com

In a recent interview sandwiched between rehearsals, Barre’s enthusiasm for the tour – as well as his passion for performing – was on full display.

“We’ve been rehearsing for four days solid – twelve hour days” said Barre. “It’s a full history of Tull’s music; almost a theatrical production. The music is complex. We have a video screen, voiceovers, special lighting. It’ll be very choreographed.”

With a half-century of recorded work at his disposal, Barre said he set the bar high

for himself and his bandmates, which include members of the Martin Barre Band (which most recently released 2018’s “Roads Less Travelled”) and former Jethro Tull bandmates Clive Bunker and Dee Palmer, who appeared on albums spanning the late 1960s to 1980.

In fact, Barre said he wanted to use this tour as an opportunity to bring Jethro Tull’s music to life with greater depth than that of the band’s own heyday – including songs people haven’t heard in a “long, long time.”

“He (Ian Anderson, vocalist and songwriter) didn’t want to go back to the earlier material,” Barre said of his former bandmate, who currently fronts a reformed version of Jethro Tull. “I have my own opinion on what songs are most important in our history.

We’re playing something from ‘Passion Play,’ from ‘Heavy Horses,’ things Tull struggled to play. The harmonies are really intricate. Tull never played them. We had harmonies on a backing tape because we couldn’t do them. Everything is live.”

Barre said that the risks and rewards of bringing Jethro Tull’s oftentimes dense, complex music to life have been one in the same.

“A lot of Tull’s music is very demanding, intricate, complicated to play. It isn’t P.R., this

is me having torn out all the hair I have left after four days of rehearsals,” said Barre with a laugh. “My world centers on music and all the peripheral stuff. What you wear on stage.

How you get on as a band. It’s all cream on the cake. The focus is the core of hard work you have to do to play this

music. I love it. It’s what my life is about, without sounding dramatic. Everything I have goes into it. The rewards are tenfold. When music comes together, it’s a wonderful beast.”

“Stand Up America” will come to Northampton on Saturday night at 8 p.m.

Tickets start at $38.50. For more information, call the Academy of Music Theatre box office at 413-584-9032 ext.105 or visit aomtheatre. com/event/jethro-tull50th-anniversary-tour-performed-by-martin-barreclive-bunker-jonathannoyce-special-guests.

The book is dedicated to young readers and the 41-year-old Krosoczka, who was raised by his grandparents because of his mother’s drug use, said in a National Public Radio interview that he hopes that with such a dedication “young readers who are experiencing a similar track in life, might feel less alone by that, to know that I’m acknowledging that this might be an experience that they’re also having.”

VIDEO GAME REVIEW

‘Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’ may frustrate you

By Christopher Byrd

Special To The Washington Post

From a rooftop, I watch the armor-clad general surrounded by his retinue of soldiers.

They are arranged along the upper-half of a staircase leading to Ashima Castle, the sort of palace you might imagine if you were dreaming of samurais.

Tapping the controller’s right thumbstick, I lock onto a rifleman near the head of the group. With the press of a button, Wolf, my ninja and the game’s protagonist, springs into the air and lands gracefully on top of the soldier. Before his comrades can react, Wolf finishes him off with a swift blow sending a fountain of blood into the air.

I barely pay attention to the spectacle. Since the moment he pounced on the man my eyes have been scanning the rooftops of the nearby buildings looking for a grapple point. Just as the general unsheathes his sword and his men begin to close ranks

110 Grill shows why it’s fastest growing chain in Northeast

O

CCUPYING SPACE in Holyoke Mall, 110 Grill’s first Western Massachusetts location replicates the formula that has made the chain one of the fastest growing in the Northeast.

Contemporary decor is the Grill’s visual stock in trade, while a mix of tables and booths defines the establishment’s seating options. An open kitchen gives customers a glimpse of back-of-the-house goings on; a large bar dominates one end of the restaurant’s layout.

The menu at 110 Grill is defined by what could be loosely termed “contemporary American” cuisine. However, the restaurant distinguishes itself with its high profile approach to food allergies. In addition to promoting a gluten free menu, 110 also takes pains to accommodate as best it can any food allergy a patron might have.

Starter options at 110 Grill include a Spinach Dip Bread Bowl ($12.50) and BBQ Chicken Nachos ($13.50) as well as several pizza-style flatbreads, Crab Rangoon Dip ($14), and Asian Calamari ($14) with sweet chili sauce.

Entree selections include comfort food favorites like a 110 Meatloaf ($17) and Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese ($16.50).

Fish and Chips ($17.50) and Chicken Piccata Gnocchi ($19) are on the agenda, as are inventive-sounding options such as Cuban Swordfish ($24) and Short Rib Risotto ($28).

Rounding out the menu are steakhouse-style selections; Baked Cod ($18) and a 14-ounce Ribeye ($32) are typical of the kitchen’s efforts in that area.

We began our dinner with an order of Bistro Wings ($12.50), a finger food favorite that can be customized with any one of three sauces. Handsomely arranged in a hammered copper pot, the eight wings were fat and meaty, although the garlic-parmesan “finish” we’d opted for seemed decidedly

low key.

A crock of French Onion Soup ($7) proved praiseworthy thanks to its subtle caramelized onion sweetness, a flavor profile unsullied with the excessive salinity that so often afflicts onion soup. Served in the traditional manner – topped with a toasted crouton and melted cheese – the soup was a dish we’d readily recommend.

Our Bourbon-marinated Steak Tips ($25) had a sweet, boozy character, a flavor note that worked well with the grilled beef. The portion wasn’t exactly heroic; we counted only a half-dozen chunks of sirloin, and we commented that a bit more care could have been lavished on fat removal and trim.

(DON TREEGER / THE REPUBLICAN)

Grilled Salmon ($23) was simply prepared and austerely garnished with a single lemon wedge; the option of having it “blackened” Cajun Style was an alternative that the menu suggested.

Entrees at 110 Grill typically include two sides from a list of nine possibilities. The broccoli served with our tips was simply steamed, and the roasted garlic mashed potatoes were creamy-textured and markedly mild. Jasmine rice, a side we enjoyed with our salmon, was freshly cooked and subtly fragrant.

Salad is not part of the entree package at 110 Grill, although the bill of fare does list eight such possibilities.

110 Grill locations are fully licensed, and the chain’s beverage program is ambitious, supporting a wine list of fifty-plus offerings.

For dessert, the Grill suggests the likes of an OREO Brownie Sundae ($8), a Coconut Key Lime Pie ($8), and a S’Mores Flatbread ($8), the last made

by slathering a crust with hazelnut-chocolate spread, garnishing it with marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs, and drizzling the end product with caramel and chocolate sauce.

A Peanut Butter Cascade ($8) was an oversized sundae-style affair built on a brownie and featuring peanut butter ice cream.

The Apple Donut Shortcake ($8) relied on a cinnamon donut for its underpinnings; canned apple pie filling, vanilla ice cream, and caramel sauce completed the construct.

We’d described both desserts as sweet, satisfying, and decidedly oversized.

Supplementing the entree selection at 110 Grill is an assortment of sandwiches and burgers. Several vegetarian options are also available.

Focused on a strategy of graciously accommodating those with food sensitivities as well as the public at large, 110 Grill succeeds at delivering casual with a bit of class.

Affordable kosher wines perfect for Passover, anytime

S

UNSET TOMORROW night signals the start of Passover, the annual Jewish holiday commemorating their liberation from slavery centuries ago.

This year, Passover lasts until April 27.

And like other years, the first night of Passover features a large, traditional feast known as the Seder.

Why am I telling you all this in a weekly wine column?

Because part of the Seder involves drinking wine. And for many Jewish people, that means drinking only kosher wine.

There are all sorts of strict rules about what makes a wine kosher. In general, in order for a wine to be considered kosher, it needs to be made by people who observe the Sabbath. There are lots of other rules governing kosher wine as well, including making sure that all the ingredients are kosher.

Fortunately, most of us don’t have worry about memorizing elaborate religious rules.

Many wine stores have sections set aside where you can easily find kosher wines. And many winemakers produce wines that have been certified kosher and say so on the bottle.

This week, I tired five kosher wines – three reds and two whites. And not to give anything away, but I really enjoyed all five wines, especially two in particular.

Let me add that three of the wines are from Israel, two are from Australia and all but one of them cost less than $15 a bottle. Hope you enjoy.

kosher Chardonnay reviewed this week, this Australian wine’s not quite as dry at the other Chardonnay on the list, but it’s pretty close. Tasting almost like Sauvignon Blanc or Chablis, this wine is saltier and flintier than the other Chardonnay on the list. And for those of you who eat oysters, this wine would pair perfectly with them and other shellfish in my opinion.

before. Based on the three Israeli wines reviewed this week, I am very impressed with the wines being made there. This beautifully made white wine has a fascinating blend of soft, subtle flavors ranging from peach to sea salt, roasted butter and a slight hint of green apple.

Let me add that this wine still tastes great several days after you first open it. I highly recommend it.

Northampton welcomes new craft beer bar, The Majestic

T

HERE ARE PEOPLE who will tell you that the last thing Northampton – or Easthampton for that matter – needs is another craft beer joint.

I’m guessing most of those people don’t read this column.

And that’s a good thing because today I’m happy to George Lenker report that the space formerly Beer Nut occupied by the wonderful craft beer bar known as The And yes, it’s a craft beer bar.

Foundry at 24 Main St., has And based on my first impresbeen brought back to life sion of it last week, it’s going under new ownership and to be (another) really good named The Majestic.

‘Sekiro’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE E8

But for the past few years in managing The Tunnel Bar for the five years (working there a the back of his mind, he has always wanted to open his total of 13 years) and managing The Hideaway Lounge in own craft beer spot. So when Easthampton.

like a foreboding mountain.

In “Sekiro,” deflecting is almost everything. The familiar stamina bar that appears in the upper left corner of the screen in the Souls games has been replaced by a posture bar that fills along the bottom.

Fighting in “Sekiro” is focused around breaking an enemy’s posture by attacking at every opportunity and deflecting their attacks.

Deflection requires tapping the block button just before an enemy lands an attack.

Simply blocking an attack by holding down the block button can result in rapid posture damage, leaving one increasingly vulnerable.

The speed at which you must cycle between attacking and deflecting gives the game a very different tempo from either the Souls games or “Bloodborne.” “Sekiro” feels more demanding to me than Miyazaki’s other games, but perhaps after thirty hours I’ve yet to find my sea legs.

To defeat the game’s stronger enemies you must not only drain their health meter but fill their posture bar, throwing them off balance to land a final deathblow.

This means that a foe with a sliver of life can still present a formidable challenge if you

allow the posture bar to go down. And some enemies, like the notorious early boss Lady Butterfly, quickly regain posture if you let up on the attacking and deflecting to run to safety and chug a health potion. Though the regular enemies one encounters in the game are fairly manageable, “Sekiro’s” mini-bosses and bosses have led me to scour the internet for tips.

Still, knowing that the best way to defeat, say, an elite samurai is to dodge to the left, can only get you so far if you haven’t mastered the split-second timing to do so.

Given how small the attack windows are, I generally doubt that all but the most committed players or those with ace gaming skills will make it to the end.

It’s vexing that a game that requires such skill on the part of players has technical issues. As with FromSoftware’s other games, you don’t have to look hard to spot enemies whose attacks pierce through walls, or notice fluctuations in framerate. To be sure, neither of these issues have sharply dampened my appreciation for “Sekiro,” but I very much hope that a patch will be released to improve the waffling framerate on consoles.

I’m slightly obsessed with “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice,” though I wish I wasn’t. Perfectionism is a cruel master.

S CUSTOMER LIFEstyles and preferences have changed over the past decades, Easter dining has been redefined, with a la carte dinner presentations – roast lamb, turkey, or ham entrees – having declined in popularity. Instead, for restaurants at least, Easter is now about brunch, and this month a number of operations have announced that they have put together late morning spreads as their contribution to Easter celebrations.

The Bistro at Gateway City Arts in Holyoke is planning an Easter Buffet that will be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature a mostly-traditional menu lineup.

Baked French toast, a veggie frittata, baked ham with citrus glaze, and baked cod with beurre blanc will be featured along with sides such as home fries and spring pea risotto.

The buffet is priced at $25 for adults and $12 for children ages 12 and under. Reservations can be made by contacting the Bistro, which is located at 92 Race Street in the city’s Innovation District, at 413650-0786.

La Cucina di Hampden House in Hampden will be offering two brunch options on Easter – a brunch buffet in their Greenhouse event space and a plated menu in the restaurant itself.

The buffet will feature two seatings, one at 11:30 a.m. and a second at 2 p.m. Priced at $23 per person, it will feature a carving station, various breakfast-style options, and several luncheon entrees. A candy buffet will be available for the kids, while adults can enjoy a bloody mary bar.

In the restaurant across the way a brunch menu will be served from 11 a.m. to 4p.m.

Featured selections will include graham cracker-crusted French toast, Belgian waffles, and a smoked salmon, asparagus, and goat cheese omelet. Prime rib will also be available.

Buona Pasqua, Mommy Francis’ Easter Shadone If Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for Italians, then Easter is surely the most joyous. It is yet another excuse for us to feast, be thankful and put into practice the traditions of our ancestors. And nothing is more important to Italians than tradition. Except eating… but really, eating and tradition are one in the same.

Mommy Francis (Joe’s grandmother, pictured above) was from a small town in Southern Italy called Agone. This village has a very special history, it is the home of the centuries-old Pontificia Fonderia Marinelli- the maker of Italy’s church bells. In a country where chapel bells sing the time and note moments of importance throughout the day, their silence between the days of Good Friday and Easter morning is conspicuous, and the return of their song is collectively rejoiced.

Every Easter, Mommy Francis would bake the Shadone - a savory egg pie filled with spring cheese and black pepper, a traditional appetizer for Easter. Once the Shadone has cooled, it is served and enjoyed with a glass of Asti Spumante.

It’s tradition. If you would like to read this and other blog entrys from Frigo Foods, please go to https://www.frigofoods.com/about-frigo-foods/blog/.

The Foundry space became available, he and Peake jumped on it.

It doesn’t differ that much from The Foundry in terms of physical setup. Overall, he kept most of the same design, but added a few more bright colors as well as two TVs and a jukebox.

“We have 16 taps and a growing wine list,” Prosciak said.

He also hired chef Breen Fallon to create a menu that has both basic bar food as well as a few pieces of fancier fare. But because the kitchen is limited in its ability to cook certain foods due to the lack of an exhaust fan and hood that cannot be installed in the

building because of the physical layout, they have worked out a deal with Local Burger next door where you can get burgers and fries from there and eat them at The Majestic while having a beer or wine.

Prosciak said he will also have some sort of live music and has cleared out the far back right corner for groups to play. It’ll mostly be solo, duo or trio acts who play low-key music such as jazz or folk, he said.

As for the TVs, Prosciak said, “We’re definitely not a sports bar, but we also want people who might want to watch a game (to) feel that they are welcome here and not have go somewhere else.”

Making people feel welcome is top priority along with creating a beer list that will be attractive to craft beer aficio-
