Top 20 Restaurant of the Week:
BOONDOCK’S SEAFOOD CO. JOE SZYNKOWSKI
DETAILS
FOR THE SOUTHERN
I f you’ve noticed major changes to the Boondock’s Seafood Co., menu over the past month, there’s more where that came from. New General Manager John Mocaby – a Goreville native who has traveled the nation on a culinary adventure – is back in the area to raise his family and revitalize the former Houlihan’s establishment. Mocaby developed and implemented an all-new menu with more of a focus on the non-seafood fare. “We’re still 55 percent seafood but you have to have options for people who don’t like seafood or we’ll lose that business,” he said. Mocaby actually started his career with the original launch of Houlihan’s. He then headed south to work within high-profile restaurants, including Emeril Lagasse’s City Walk and Wolfgang Puck’s Downtown Disney. Now, he is bringing his Florida flair to Boondock’s. “We are going with more fresh ingredients, more produce and more

unique fruits and vegetables,” he said. “Our springtime menu will have a lot of fun items.” One of Mocaby’s latest additions – the chicken castellina – has been flying out of the kitchen. The pan-seared chicken breast is tossed in a creamy Parmesan sauce made of pancetta, garlic, artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes and baby cremini mushrooms, and can be enjoyed for $16. A host of other “land” options are available, as are plenty of

seafood entrees. Mocaby is also busy working on an updated drink menu that will contain plenty of diversity across beer and wine options. No matter what you order, you can rest assured that it is fresh. “We make everything here,” Mocaby said. “Our dressings, our soups and our stocks are all done in-house.” Groups of all sizes can be accommodated for business or personal functions, which makes

THREE DOG NIGHT GOING STRONG Classic rock band coming to Paducah Three Dog Night Live in concert; 7:15 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21; The Carson Center, 100 Kentucky Ave., Paducah; tickets are $29 to $79 and can be purchased at www.thecarsoncenter.org or by calling 270-450-4444 ADAM TESTA, THE SOUTHERN
PADUCAH — Last week, Three Dog Night lead vocalist Cory Wells celebrated his 72nd birthday. But, even at this stage in life, he still has the same love and passion for music he did when his career began five decades ago. “I feel blessed,” Wells said Friday, two days after his birthday. “Back when I started this stuff, I never thought I’d still be touring and being so popular at my advanced age.” Wells doesn’t intend
to slow down, either. He maintains a full touring schedule with his Three Dog Night companions with more than 70 dates per year, and he has aspirations to record some solo material and to try his hand at writing tunes, whether for himself or an up-andcoming performer. It’s not as if he needs it to secure his legacy, though. Three Dog Night boasts sales and music chart records that have gone virtually unmatched through the years. The band enjoyed a run of 21 consecutive Top 40 hits — including three No. 1 singles, 11 top 10s, 18 straight top 20s — as well as 7 million-selling singles and 12 straight gold-rated LP records across the board of genres, from pop to rock to country. “People kept saying Three Dog Night was an
overnight, one-hit wonder, but it took six years to get one hit,” Well said. “It’s a 50/50 chance. You flip the coin. It could be a total success; it could be a total failure. It just happened that we landed on the right side.” He credits a lot of that to the style of songs Three Dog Night chose to release. At a time in music history when many musicians were focused on down, depressed music reflecting sociological events of the time, the band opted to remain positive. “All of our music was sort of up, positive songs, and we always tried to keep it that way,” he said, noting that remains the case today both with new material and
when revisiting the classics on stage. “We don’t try to change them. They’re done in the same way we did them back then.” Fans in the area will have a chance to see Wells and the rest of Three Dog Night when the band performs at The Carson Center at 7:15 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21. Tickets are $29 to $79 and can be purchased at www. thecarsoncenter.org or by calling 270-450-4444. Wells said it’s always great to see the variety of people in the audience, ranging from those same fans who have supported the group for decades to the new generation who has discovered their material online. As long as there are

fans who want to hear the music, Three Dog Night will be there to fulfill their wishes. At least for as long as the band members are able to abide. “We passed retirement, and we kept going,” Wells
said. “Once the voice goes, I think it’s time to hang it up. But right now, it hasn’t, and I still enjoy it. I’m still having fun.” adam.testa@thesouthern.com 618-351-5031

‘Robocop’ remake starts with a roar but slips gears Robocop *** Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action including frenetic gun violence throughout, brief strong language, some drug material; starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson
Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman (“The Killing”) is Alex Murphy, a Detroit undercover cop who goes off on a renegade operation against a local crime lord, Antoine Vallon (Patrick Garrow). It turns into a fiasco with Murphy’s partner (Michael CARY DARLIN, K. Williams, “Boardwalk MCT Empire”) getting seriously injured and Vallon seeking Dutch director Paul revenge against Murphy. Verhoeven’s original 1987 It comes in the middle of “Robocop” — in which the night in the form of a man was merged with car bomb that turns the machine to fight lawlesshusband and father into ness — was a savvy slice barely breathing scraps of of science fiction that not human flesh.

That is, until he starts thinking too much for himself. This version of “Robocop,” written by Joshua Zetumer, not only abandons its topicality about government surveillance and war, but also loses its sense of place. Set in Detroit, there’s none of the urban decay or human distress to might serve as a believable backdrop.

Priebe Brothers take the stage for St. Jude
A
dream of Terry “Merle” Priebe has turned into something much bigger. Priebe had played music with his two brothers for a long time, but they had drifted apart and hadn’t shared the stage together in a long COUNTRY time. He SCENE made sure that Vince Hoffard drought ended in 2006, when he organized a reunion concert of The Priebe Brothers at the Steelveville American Legion. “The building couldn’t hold everybody,” said bassist Bob Priebe. “The concert massively exceeded our wildest expectations. We simply
couldn’t believe it.” The concert was even bigger the following two years, then sadly “Merle” Priebe suddenly died before the 2009 show. “We had played at church that morning and another little party that night. After he got home, he went outside to have a cigarette and never came back in. He died of a massive heart attack,” Bob Priebe said. Priebe says there is a dual driving force that keeps powering the annual event. It’s done to honor the memory of Merle and celebrate the life of brother Steve Priebe. Steve was diagnosed with leukemia in 1977. He was treated by a doctor in St. Louis and has made a full recovery. The information for the treatment protocol was provided to the physician by the staff at the St. Jude Children’s

Research Hospital in Memphis. The Priebe Brothers do not perform the popular annual reunion show for profit. All proceeds are donated back to St. Jude. At this point, the donation total is over $153,000. The ninth annual Priebe Brothers Band St. Jude Benefit concert will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday in the Pinckneyville KC Hall. Joining the brothers will be special guests the Eisenhauer Band, We Got It Covered and the Beaucoup Bottom Band. Tickets are $10. Advanced seating can be reserved by calling 618357-6626. Doors open at 4 p.m. There will be a live and silent auction. Food prepared by the Sauced Up Smokers will be available for purchase on site. “There cannot be a better win-win situation,”
Bob Priebe said. “For only 10 bucks, which has been the admission price every year, you get a night of entertainment by four great bands and all the money goes to the kids at St. Jude. It’s an honor just to be part of it but it couldn’t happen without a great team. We are tickled to death to have 42 great volunteers helping to put everything together this year.” Priebe says planning and organizing the show is a duty his family willingly accepts and gladly performs with the help of friends. No accolades are expected. Helping the needy at St. Jude is enough. When the surviving brothers received an invitation to a special recognition ceremony at St. Jude’s on April 7-8, they were overwhelmed. “It came out of the clear blue,” Priebe said. “I can’t
wait to go and see with my own eyes the miracles they are performing. I know it will be a very emotional experience.” Members of the Priebe Brothers Band taking the stage this weekend are: Steve Priebe, steel guitar; Todd Rushing, rhythm guitar and vocals; Miles Priebe, drums; Matt Mathis, lead guitar and lead vocals and Bob Priebe, bass guitar. All five are from Pinckneyville. Former band member Lance Weil, a drummer from Vergennes, will also sit in with the group. Kicking off the show at 6 p.m. will be the Eisenhauer Band from Nashville, Tenn., formerly from Du Quoin. The trio includes mother Rhonda on rhythm guitar, 12-year old Andy on banjo and 13-year old Amelia on fiddle. They are in Music City learning the ropes
of the tricky country music world. We Got It Covered is the brainchild of band leader Keenan Rice of Du Quoin. Amelia Eisenhauer and Bob Priebe are members of the band. Rice has a roster of talented musicians and vocalists that place a heavy emphasis at having tons of fun every time they hit the stage. The playlist ranges from “Folsom Prison Blues” to the “Cupid Shuffle.” Beaucoup Bottom combines bluegrass, country and rock into a hybrid musical blend that is highly entertaining. Hailing from Nashville, Ill., the band is extremely versatile with sisters Amanda and Gloria Bathon cranking out sweet twin fiddles. Vince Hoffard can be reached at 618-658-9095 or vincehoffard@outlook. com.
