What’s in a name?

WHITTINGTON — For Mary Lou Galloway, there’s more to the annual Illinois Art and Wine Festival than the name implies. Sure, with 13 wineries and 50 artists from across the state on hand there’s plenty of two of Illinois’ finest products to go around. But the real appeal of the festival comes from the people who journey across not only the state, but the country, to attend. There’s the woman who stocks up on a year’s worth of wine; the gentleman from Maryland
from uses his vacation days from work to travel to Whittington; and don’t forget the three couples who make the annual trek from Colorado. “We’re seeing a lot of our friends coming back year after year,” Galloway said. Those are just a few of the average 5,000 to 7,000 patrons who visit the festival each year. And while many of the guests have become regular fixtures, so have many of the artists and wineries showcasing their wares to the crowd. Many of the participating artists are fixtures of the festival, and it’s the one place where their fans know they’ll be able to find their work time and time again. But, of course, they have to make room for new ones, as well. “We have artists who people know will be here,” Galloway said. “And every year, we get new artists coming in.” That’s exactly what the organizers had in mind almost a decade and a half ago when they started the event as a way to highlight local merchants and to
Art and win and much more educate the public. Festivalgoers can talk to winemakers and learn some of the tricks of the trade. In addition to the artists and wineries, guests will also find crafters, musicians and more on the grounds of the Southern Illinois Art and Artisans Center. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30. Admission is $10 for wine-drinkers and $2 for other patrons. The Kevin Lucas Orchestra will play from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, followed by Southern Pride from 3 to 6. On Sunday, Dennis Stroughmatt and Creole Stomp will perform from 2 to 6 p.m. “They have a lot of very interesting vendors. They fill the grounds up with crafts, they have live music and there’s wine for the wine drinkers,” said Frank Savka, president of the Franklin County Tourism Bureau. “You can just spend the whole there.” adam.testa@thesouthern.com 618-351-5031

It was founded in memory of Sandra Sanders, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2007.

the 10 major acts appearing on the main stage are still globetrotting at diverse venues and will ultimately converge on the spacious confines from all directions in shiny tour buses, just hours before they are scheduled to perform. There is going to be a lot more music, however, ringing through the air than that produced by the well-choreographed productions cranked out on the main stage. At the opposite end of the huge field hosting all the festivities will be a secondary stage, featuring talent ranging from popular local acts like Cache River and Common Addiction to Nashville acts

Local band Cache River will perform at the Southern Illinois Country Fest on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 5-6. The band, along with other local and regional acts, will join headliners Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley and Trace Adkins.
on the verge of breaking onto the national scene. Performing on the secondary stage on Oct. 5 will be Fertile Soil, Tim Beattie, We Got It Covered and Whiskey Dixon, followed on Oct. 6 by Will Strubberg, Cache River, Brasher Bogue and a repeat performance by We Got It Covered. Taking the secondary stage on Oct. 7 will be the Beaucoup Bottom Boys, Tony Logue Band and Common Addiction. One of the hottest bands in Nashville not signed to a major label, Brasher Bogue, is currently playing the Kenny Chesney “Goin’ Coastal” Tour official preshow parties. At the Hard Rock Café in Nashville, the duo hosts a monthly showcase in the Reverb Room that has featured Daryle Singeletary, Bobby Pinson and many others. Songwriters Andy Brasher and Dustin Bogue decided to combine forces five years ago as a songwriting team and begin their assault on Music City stardom. “Dustin has a knack for creating cool music,” Brasher said. “He’s my favorite person to write songs with and performing
those songs together with the insanely talented band we have is always incredible. We have a blast sharing those songs with our friends.” Brasher Bogue’s musical influences range from Bob Dylan and Hank Williams to Nirvana and Don Williams. Cache River cranks out a high energy brand of rebel rock, but the Johnson County-based band has no aspirations of taking Nashville by storm. “We’re just a bunch of guys that love music and like to get together and have a good time,” said Cache River lead singer Jeff Mears. “This show has got us excited, to say the least. We’ve played in front of big crowds before at Hogrock, which is more about motorcycles than music. Playing for people who are there just to hear music is special, and we are going to work hard to put on a great show.” Mears said Cache River was invited to the festival after getting positive reviews from a recent performance in Steeleville. Common Addiction is a vocal powerhouse, with three outstanding lead vocalists in Drew
Baldridge, John Spicer and Kevin Gamblin. Tremendous versatility is added with female lead vocalist Sheena Flowers. They play predominately in the Centralia/Salem area. A native of Patoka, Baldridge placed sixth in the inaugural Southern Starr singing contest earlier this year and soon afterwards won the overall adult talent contest at the Kentucky Opry. He recently moved to Nashville and is learning the craft of songwriting. Whiskey Dixon is the premier country band in the St. Louis area, playing nearly 150 shows a year. An edgy brand of contemporary country, complimented by a repertoire filled with 80s arena rock and popular classic rock has help the group develop as large fan base. Formed in 2008, the four-piece band has opened for Dierks Bentley and Laura Bell Bundy and earned a cooperate sponsorship from Jagermeister Music. VINCE HOFFARD can be

Gordon-Levitt masters Willis impersonation in ‘Looper’ Looper *** Rated R for strong violence, language, some sexuality/nudity and drug content; starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels and Paul Dano; directed by Rian Johnson; opening Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion BY ROGER MOORE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
Joseph Gordon-Levitt utterly masters the Bruce Willis squint, where the action hero narrows his eyes, furrows his brow and purses his lips. He gives us a little of the Willis smirk, the one Bruce breaks out when he’s about to let-go a whispered threat. Yeah, JGL has that whispered threat thing down, too. Levitt needs to master All Things Willis for
“Looper,” in which he plays a time travel-era assassin who discovers that his latest hit is on himself — the AARPeligible version of himself. Loopers are the fellows who, in the future, stand next to the very spot that some poor hoodlum from the future is shipped back to, already bound and hooded. The looper shoots the guy with a short-range shotgun, still called a blunderbuss. And if the looper is smart, he’s already got the victim lined up to land on a tarp, to make cleanup a snap. Joe is such a looper, a favorite of The Boss (Jeff Daniels), a loner who hoards the silver ingots that future crooks use to pay him (strapped o the victim’s body), who is addicted to the latest drug — administered through eyedrops — and a little too fond of a stripper/ hooker (Piper Perabo).

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in ‘Looper,’ a new science-fiction film from director Rian Johnson. The movie opens Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion.
But a crime boss of the future, nicknamed “The Rain Maker,” is sending aged loopers back through time to be executed by their younger selves. Which they dutifully do, even as they realize they now have only X-number of years left to live. Joe is tipped to the agony of this decision by his nervous pal Seth (Paul
Dano). So when his future self (Willis) shows up, Joe is downright conflicted. “Why don’t you do what old men do — and DIE!” Imagine a young Bruce Willis blurting that out to the grizzled, bald actionhero Bruce Willis we’ve all grown to know and adore. “I remember what you do right after you do it,” Old Joe explains to his
“self-absorbed and stupid” younger self — and us. Botching this job means that Joe Present and Joe Future are on the run from both The Boss’s minions and each other. Each Joe wants to stop the other Joe from “ruining my life.” Emily Blunt shows up as a rural Kansas farmer who figures into the story. Children enter into the plot. And things get a lot more complicated, to say the least — with flashbacks, alternative futures and the like. What would Einstein say Saturday, September 29, 3:00pm-7:00pm to all this? Or Doc Brown Bosco & Whiteford (Traditional Country) and Marty McFly? Movies about time travel Sunday, September 30, 2:00pm-6:00pm always present their Ray Martin imponderables — what sort of future could it be where “disposing of a body is pretty much impossible?” And when starviewvineyards.com we see somebody die in 5100 Winghill Rd, Cobden, IL that future, what sort of On 51 S. go 6.3 miles South of the “Smiley dilemma are those futureFace” then left on Wing Hill Rd for 3.5 mi.

currency makes sense. But ingots are not exactly pocket money, are they? Writer-director Rian Johnson has concocted a tale with elements of “Terminator” and “Back to the Future,” as well as “Jumpers” and “The Omen.” It’s a science fiction film that gives you a lot of plot to chew on and some genuine moral dilemmas — about sacrifice, guilt, heinous crimes to protect the greater good and whatnot. The whole thing bogs down on the farm, and at times, figuring out where this clue or that map came from, why this timejumper loses body parts, one by one, and Old Joe doesn’t — trips it up. But “Looper” is loads of fun. And when that “Die Hard” reboot comes around, all of Hollywood has this as Joseph GordonLevitt’s audition for John McClane. Can he say, “Yippee ki-yi-yay?” Don’t you know it.
