PROJECT EDITOR’S statement

I

Labor of love

wasn’t sure what I was getting into when Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller assigned me this special issue covering the American Red Cross summer benefit CD. It began with the tongue-in-cheek question, “Are you a lover or a fighter?” I’ve never been a fighter, so I answered “lover.” “Great, you are in charge of the Red Cross CD issue,” he said (Staff Writer Amanda Tindall received the “fighter” assignment with last week’s Military Yearbook issue).

When it came time for a briefing, Miller made me aware of a few key details of the project. The CD had not yet been completed but preparations began in January. At least 20 stories would need to be written. Then, he told me about the cause — the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio. For those of you who don’t know Miller, he’s very passionate about his causes. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit nervous about the project.

Looking back, working on this issue was a collection of pleasant surprises.

My first revelation: I never knew the breadth of the Red Cross’ mission. I believed the Red Cross was just an annual blood drive.

I have learned during the past few weeks Sanya Ali that the Red Cross is a far-reaching organization that has touched lives affected by many different disasters. Be it a personal health struggle or a natural disaster, the Red Cross has been there to provide support and assistance. I had the pleasure of talking to Tim Yenrick, CEO of the Northwest Ohio branch, and Amanda Aldrich, their communications specialist.

Yenrick was so pleased with the results of last year’s project, which raised more than $10,000, that he was more than ready to jump on board this year.

Aldrich filled in the gaps in my knowledge of our local Red Cross. I also spoke with Bo McComas, a volunteer with the Red Cross who informed me about the projects the Red Cross has been involved in during the past year alone. McComas serves in both the Disaster Relief and Service to the Armed Forces wings of the organization, so he sees a wide range of cases in which the Red Cross has made an impact.

I also heard a powerful story from a Red Cross beneficiary.

Tina Zeiter lost her home in a fire last year around the time she was planning to host her daughter’s wedding. Thankfully, the Red Cross stepped in.

They fed, clothed and housed Zeiter and her family and helped them rebuild.

They’ve now been in their new house for three months. That is the kind of story people need to hear.

The second happy surprise: The musicians we worked with for this project are total gems. When I heard the CD for the first time, the sheer talent of these men and women struck me. Nearly every song on the CD is an original; there’s only one cover. Put together, the tracks truly epitomize a real Toledo summer, whether they are explicitly about the Glass City or not.

The fact that Miller, the musicians and the project’s sponsors are willing to give up time and resources for these causes gives me so much hope for journalism. This type of selflessness proves that newspapers are not just corporate entities. They are groups of caring people who want to give more than just a story to help address important issues.

Red, White & You, Too!

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

July 6, 2014

PHILANTHROPY

By Sanya Ali

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer sali@toledofreepress.com

What do you get when you mix a newspaper, a group of talented artists and a deserving cause?

You get Toledo Free Press’ second annual summer CD, “Red, White & You, Too!,” which released July 3 at Frisch’s Big Boy and Ralphie’s restaurants across Northwest Ohio.

As editor in chief, Michael S. Miller has established two major philanthropic musical projects: a holiday CD for Make-A-Wish Foundation and the summer CD, which benefits the Disaster Relief Fund and Service to Armed Forces wings of the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio.

“On a professional level, because the community has responded so strongly to Toledo Free Press and its mission, we have an obligation to use our format to give back to the community,” Miller said.

Miller had a personal experience with the Red Cross in July 1985, when the apartment building he and his family lived in caught fire.

“It was the American Red Cross and the United Way that sheltered and clothed and shoed and blanketed and got my little family back on its feet. I’ve never forgotten how quick those organizations were to respond,” Miller said.

The first summer CD came out in 2013 and raised more than $10,000.

Miller said he hopes the amount raised this year is even greater and the CD’s impact is felt across Northwest Ohio.

“I want [listeners] to be excited by how much local talent there is,” Miller said. “I want them to hear these songs and say, ‘What a band. What a vocalist. What a great song.’”

What’s new?

Since last year’s CD launched, CEO Tim Yenrick said the Red Cross has used the funds throughout its disaster services unit.

“The dollars raised from the CD were very important to us this year,” Yenrick said. “Obviously with the intensity of our winter this year, we saw a marked increase in disaster services. We responded to home fires and weather-related incidents.”

Yenrick said he believes the CD is a fun way to bring attention to the organization.

“I think it’s a very unique way to raise dollars and also to get our mission message across in the community,” Yenrick said. “[Our mission is]

to alleviate human suffering during disasters and individual crises.”

Yenrick was a fan of last year’s CD project; his favorite tracks were Chrys Peterson’s “(Sittin’ On The) Dock Of The Bay” and the Put-inBay trilogy of songs. He said he has even higher hopes for this year.

“I’m pretty excited about all the original songs,” Yenrick said. “[Miller] does such a great job of working with the artists and I’m sure it’s going to be an outstanding CD.” Yenrick extended his personal thanks to Miller, ToYENRICK ledo Free Press Publisher Tom Pounds, the artists, media sponsor Newsradio 1370 WSPD and Frisch’s Big Boy and Ralphie’s restaurants for their support during the project.

“I know Miller has worked very hard and the local artists are just great in working with us on the project,” he said.

Yenrick said he wants the public to know that the Red Cross is steadfast in its dedication to Northwest Ohio.

“We are here, ready to respond, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and we appreciate financial support,” he said. “We also appreciate our volunteers who provide 95 percent of our service in the community.

We’re always here ready to respond to a natural disaster and to work with our military families and to provide health and safety training throughout the community.”

Amanda Aldrich, communications specialist for the area Red Cross, said she regards altruism highly.

“It’s genuine selflessness and heartfelt compassion,” Aldrich said.

“It’s looking outside yourself and offering what you have — talents, time, money — to make things better for someone else. It can be big or it can be small, but everything you do can make a difference.”

A Red Cross success story

On Sept. 7, Tina Zeiter was preparing to celebrate her daughter’s wedding. The event was set for the following week at Zeiter’s house. Family gathered and worked tirelessly to prepare the space for a memorable day.

No one could have foreseen what happened at 12:30 a.m. Sept. 8.

Zeiter awoke to her grandson’s cries and found the house enveloped in smoke. Her first thought: Find grandchildren Chase, 9, and Savanna, 4.

“Before I realized it, I had swallowed a big gulp of heavy, black smoke,” Zeiter said. “I didn’t think to cover my mouth at the time, only to get the kids out of the room. I grabbed the kids; Chase was still on the bed and was helping me look for Savanna on the lower bed. He could see her only because she had put light-up bracelets on her bear’s wrist and she had the bear beside her, still asleep.”

Zeiter’s family made it outside, but the emotional toll the incident took was massive.

“It’s almost as if you go numb,” Zeiter said. “Even today, I can still feel the emotions go through me. It’s almost unexplainable; it’s like you are falling and can’t stop and no one is there to catch you. You just go through the movements, answer the questions, but you are in a daze. To have the weight of responsibility on your shoulders alone for the safety of your own children and grandchildren, as well as the loss of your house is unimaginable.”

Zeiter said from the moment she stepped out of the house, Red Cross of Northwest Ohio was ready to help.

“The Red Cross helped by arranging a place for us to stay for the first two nights and providing us with a debit card to be used to purchase food and clothing,” Zeiter said.

“We only had the pajamas on our backs when we left the house. I had grabbed a jacket in my bedroom as I raced out, but that was it. We didn’t even have shoes to wear.”

What really stood out to Zeiter was the emotional support she gained from the organization.

“It was when I finally sat down in the truck and listened to the volunteers that I finally began to cry,” Zeiter said. “It was like I needed to be strong in front of my family, but my family wasn’t in the truck.

The Red Cross team was very comforting. I felt as if I didn’t have to bear all the weight, that someone else was going to take charge now and tell me what to do.”

Since early this year, Zeiter and her family have been living in their newly renovated home, courtesy of contractor Cousino Harris. n RED CROSS CONTINUES ON 6

Red, White & You, Too!

n RED CROSS CONTINUED FROM 4 “When I wake up in the morning or when I go home at night, I am struck by the sense of appreciation I have for the people who have touched my life and have been there for me, whether it be the Red Cross as a support, the contractor rebuilding my home, the insurance representative, [or]friends and family that have been there to support me and my family. I am truly thankful for their role in my life,” Zeiter said.

The proceeds from this year’s CD will help guarantee that, in the event of such tragedy, the Red Cross can again step in and spare a family some of the pain.

“People should know that those working for the Red Cross are clearly very special people,” Zeiter said.

“Most of us may never cross paths with the Red Cross, but those of us who will, the Red Cross is as much of a financial support, providing food, clothing and shelter, as they are an emotional support.”

A volunteer’s perspective

Bo McComas has been a volunteer with the Red Cross for years.

“When I retired, a friend of mine said I might want to consider the Red Cross because I absolutely love helping people,” McComas said. “I decided to advance and I’m a volunteer supervisor now. I just love it.”

McComas assists in the local Disaster

July 6, 2014

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

Action Team, which deals with fires and other similar incidents. He also flies around the country to assist in repairs following tornadoes and hurricanes.

“I’m also a Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) worker,” McComas said.

“When there is a death or an illness in the family of the servicemember, the Red Cross will give the notification to the McCOMAS servicemember.

I follow up and make sure the servicemember was able to make it home.”

The past year has seen much activity for McComas.

“I have responded to three natural disasters and I have reached four house fires,” McComas said. “I’m in the middle of five SAF cases as we speak, doing follow-ups for the military.”

McComas said people should become aware that the Red Cross does projects with the intention of letting victims recover at their own pace.

“We offer shelter, food and clothing,” McComas said. “We actually give them a credit card. That makes them independent and allows them to do their own recovery.”

This year’s CD donations will ensure volunteers like McComas have the means to assist in future disasters.

Artists take control

“Red, White & You, Too!” is different from previous Toledo Free Press charity projects because almost every track is an original both written and performed by the artist.

“I’ve always relied on cover songs because they’re well-known and it’s an easier sell,” Miller said. “When music began to come in for this year’s summer project, the originals were so outstanding and they were so professionally recorded and produced, I lost that fear.”

The selection process was extensive, as Miller had to sort through the nearly 40 submissions to find the songs that really spoke to the theme of the project.

“My methodology is to play them in the car, everywhere I go, which means in the middle of January’s deep freeze I’m playing these summer tracks,” Miller said. “Only through repeated exposure can you figure out how they fit together and how they work off each other.”

Miller said he has worked with a few of the artists on previous projects, but many new voices grace this year’s summer disc.

“It’s easy to get comfortable and rely on some of the same artists,” Miller said. “I know they would answer the call. For the health of the project and for my personal interest in the project, working with new artists is an important step. It’s important to challenge yourself and not get complacent or too comfortable.”

While summer CD staples Kyle White and Pat Dailey (who Miller said is the definition of summer music) did make this year’s tracklist, Miller said he made an effort to include newcomers whose contributions really stood out.

“Having new groups like Thirsty Houligans, Zak Ward or Birds of Chicago contribute really did freshen up the project for me personally and I hope that is communicated to the listeners as well,” he said.

Mighty contribution

Matt Feher, professionally known as Mighty Wyte, has been donating studio time to Miller’s CD projects for several years.

Though he said his role is much greater on the Christmas CDs, the Red Cross project also benefits from a good deal of his input.

“I basically assist with final engineering, assembly, trimming any ‘dead’ space at the front or back of any song, making sure all artist and song information is correctly entered and ‘CD Text’ is enforced,” Feher said. “I burn the final ‘Red Book’ and give it to Miller for final inspection before it’s sent out and pressed.”

Feher first got involved with these projects a few years back because Miller is a close friend. Giving back to his community is something he strongly endorses.

“I can help a lot of people and

some great causes,” Feher said. “It’s one of those things where I can turn grains of sand into pearls.”

Giving to charities like Red Cross, Feher said, benefits everyone in the long run.

“People say ‘Treat others as you wish to be treated,’ but rarely practice it,” he said. “So to help someone or some charitable organization out just makes good karmic sense.”

Feher also commends Miller’s dedication to his charity projects.

“Miller takes on a great deal of the workload when it comes to all of these projects,” he said. “He’s entirely too humble about how much work he puts into these things and how much time and effort goes into these CDs. “He’s an amazing guy and he’s insanely busy,” Feher said. “So to get a few hours a year to just work with him on a project is pretty fun.”

Feher said he is proud of this year’s project and that the team who worked on it was dedicated to creating an amazing CD. “Me, the other engineers who work on the audio and the people who contribute music work very hard to create a quality catalog of music,” Feher said. “We’re not selling hackjob recordings of poorly arranged material.

Red, White & You, Too!

A Toledo tradition since 2005

By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Chris Boggs is amazed at how quiet her house is without her husband Eddie, who died in January after an eight-month battle with cancer.

She’s thankful for all the songs he recorded during his decades of making music so she — and others who loved him — can still hear his voice.

“We cry every time we listen to his songs, but I do every day,” Chris wrote in an email to Toledo Free Press.

Boggs, 68, a folk musician and retired teacher and counselor, loved music but made serving others his life’s work.

“His kindness, his positive spin on life, his whole being was about love and being thankful for what he could do for others,” Chris said. “He was a simple man. He loved life and he lived to lighten people’s loads. And his avenue was music and kindness. He took time to listen to people, and sang as a way to make them smile.”

Boggs was always involved with charity projects. For years, he hosted an annual holiday variety show that raised more than $250,000. He contributed a song, “That First Snowfall,” to Toledo Free Press’ Make-A-Wish benefit CD in 2012 and “Another Putin-Bay Summer” to last year’s American Red Cross benefit CD. This summer’s Red Cross benefit CD, “Red, White & You, Too!” is dedicated to Boggs and contains one of his signature songs, “Uptown Boogie Down Saturday Night.”

“Eddie believed in these projects when no one else understood what we were trying to accomplish, and he connected me with a score of local musicians,” said Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller, who produces the Toledo Free Press charity CDs. “No one has been as gracious and patient as Eddie and I can’t imagine these CDs without his voice.”

“When we were contacted this year for an upbeat song, ‘Uptown Boogie Down Saturday Night’ immediately came to mind,” Chris said.

“Come Monday morning, I’m up at dawn, ’cause I’m a working man,” the song goes. “In less than an hour, I’m out of the shower and headed down to the plant / And all week long, I give it my best, but come Friday evening I give it a rest / I leave my worries all behind ’cause there’s one thing on my mind / And that’s an uptown boogie down Saturday night.”

“He wrote and recorded it around 1992-93 specifically for the people of Toledo — the hardworking individuals who give their time Monday through Friday at a job and enjoy their weekends, specifically Saturday night, with the people they love,” Chris said. “He wanted to capture the simple joys in life. We always called it his hokey song, but it has a catchy tune and over the years became a favorite original of his with the people that came to see him.”

Those who worked with Boggs at Sylvania Schools also remember his impact.

“He did so much to make this little corner of the globe a better place,” retired teacher Al Thompson said. O

Zak Ward contributes ‘Beautiful’ track to Red Cross CD

By Sanya Ali

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer sali@toledofreepress.com

The music of Zak Ward has reached new heights in the past year, even gaining international interest.

“We put out a CD in late March called ‘This Wonderful Playground’ and we’ve also had two music videos, one of which was produced in England,” Ward said. “It’s been a crazy, crazy surreal experience and an honor. That type of thing didn’t happen 10-15 years ago. It’s all because of social media and developing relationships online.”

Ward is a major proponent of altruism and, to show his charitable nature, he contributed his song “Beautiful” to this year’s “Red, White & You, Too!” benefit CD.

“I’m really appreciative of Toledo Free Press and the Red Cross for accepting this donation of music from all of us musicians and allowing local artists to be featured,” Ward said. “It’s an honor to be a part of it for that specific reason. It’s also awareness of what kind of art is happening in the Toledo, Northwest Ohio area.”

Ward’s lyrics are drawn from a combination of sources.

“Inspiration comes from just being a fan of music and life in general,” he said.

“Beautiful” is a song that Ward hopes is open to interpretation but the overall message is one familiar to listeners.

“Generally speaking, it’s kind of like a love song as it relates to appreciating beauty,” he said.

For this song, Ward collaborated

with fellow musician Bob Stevens, who also has a track on the CD. Ward said he thinks musicians should always give back to their communities.

“Musicians are in a very lucky position as it relates to helping with charities because it’s really effortless

for us to donate art for someone to raise money for a cause.

“Anytime that I have an opportunity to help raise funds for our society, our city, certainly I’m compelled to do so,” Ward said. “Raising money for any type of charity or-

ganization [offers] huge fulfillment because I have something I can actually contribute.”

In the upcoming year, Ward said he and the group plan to assemble a visual concert series, as well as complete another album and music video. O

Cindy Slee ‘Happy As A Jaybird’ with her growing musical career

By Amanda Tindall

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer atindall@toledofreepress.com

After going through nursing school and practicing for 15 years, Cindy Slee was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

The autoimmune disease took what had been her life, her whole career, and made it completely impossible to maintain.

But Slee said music had been a part of her life no matter what she was doing, so when nursing was no

longer an option, she was able to return to that love. The switch led her to write “Happy As A Jaybird,” which she donated to the American Red Cross “Red, White & You, Too!” CD. Even before nursing school, Slee said she fell in love with the guitar.

By her late teens, she was performing in groups. In nursing school, she met Theresa Konwinski and the two wrote and played music together.

After nursing school, Konwinski moved, but they continued to write songs via email. When Konwinski moved back to the Toledo area, she

Red, White & You, Too!

A Toledo tradition since 2005

suggested the two get back together.

The band they formed was called Stat Band, because they were both nurses, Slee said.

“Happy As A Jaybird” was conceived when Slee heard her mother say that exact phrase.

“Any songwriter will tell you that it’s so great when a song just falls into place,” Slee said.

“I was out West, visiting my parents in Las Vegas, and I keep a guitar there. My mom said something about being ‘happy as a jaybird,’ and I said, ‘You know, that’d make a great line.’ So probably by the time I left there, I had written the lyrics.”

Slee said her inspiration, what drives her to play music, is that no matter what mood you might be in music has the ability to take you to a different place.

“She has demonstrated a lot of courage over the years,” Konwinski said. “She’s had some really dark days. When she first got [diagnosed], it progressed so quickly that we were afraid she’d never get out of the wheel chair. She’s so determined and not self-pitying. And her fearlessness is what gave her the ability to do music on her own. That’s not easy to just get your guitar and yourself and play in front of people.” O

Art imitates life for Stevens’ ‘Party On The Beach’ Toledo Free Press Staff Writer atindall@toledofreepress.com

As Bob Stevens sat on a log on the beach with his guitar, he looked down at the mass of broken shells under his feet.

As he did, the lyrics of his song, “Party On The Beach,” part of this year’s “Red, White & You, Too!” American Red Cross benefit CD just came to him, he said.

“I looked down, and it was all shells. The song just happened in that moment,” Stevens said. “That’s what I try to do — write outdoors, if I can.”

Stevens taught himself to play guitar through trial and error, he said, and had his first show when he was 14 years old.

Since then, he has performed and taught guitar lessons, to as many as 50 students at a time. As he became more advanced, he learned music theory from more experienced musicians.

Stevens said even from a young age, music was a part of his life.

“My dad played guitar when I was growing up, and a lot of his friends were in really good bluegrass bands,” he said.

“As a little kid, I remember sitting around and listening to these guys play.”

Stevens has played with bands in various cities, spending three years in Phoenix with an upscale cover band, and in Nashville, Tennessee, where he worked at Gibson.

“I like regular pop songs, which is weird because that’s a whole different side of me than the guitar player,” Stevens said. “I play a lot of different styles, a little bit of everything, instrumentals, but as far as songwriting the lyrics, I like just simple pop songs. They’re catchy.”

With his new album, Stevens decided to put everything together on his own — lyrics, instrumentals and vocals.

“This record was just to see if I could do it all myself,” Stevens said. “Music is such a universal language. Last fall, I had the chance to go to Italy and meet some family I’d never met from over there. I was in this little village, and there were these two guys with acoustic guitars. They were playing all the things that we play here, but singing them in English. I got up and played a few songs with the guys. It’s a universal language no matter where you are.” O

Red, White & You, Too! 11

By Sanya Ali

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer sali@toledofreepress.com

Carmen Miller has been signed with TMG and she is going at the music world with guns blazing.

“It’s been a whirlwind of a year,” Miller said.

Not so much of a whirlwind that Miller forgot about one of her favorite summer projects. Miller’s song, “I Want it All,” is one of the 21 featured on this year’s “Red, White & You, Too!” CD, benefiting the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio.

“I love the cause,” Miller said. “Red Cross has always been doing such great work in the community. I was involved last year and it is always such a fun thing to do. The ‘Red, White & You’ CD is one of the highlights of the year for me.”

Her track for this project stems from her love of ’80s music, with a few personal twists.

“This was my ode to ’80s hair metal with a touch of 30 Seconds to Mars to boot,” Miller said. “This is one of my favorite songs. It’s fun, summer music.”

The song, Miller said, encourages listeners to experience each moment of life as fully as possible.

“It’s actually about not limiting yourself to what people think and being committed to having the best of life that life has to offer,” Miller said. “With me, everything that I sing has a bit of a Christian bend so I just wanna make sure it comes across that the Bible says in Christ you can do all things so I want it all.”

Besides getting signed, the last year has seen Miller collaborating with two groups, Aaftermath and Vertigo.

“Aaftermath is one of my favorite things to do right now because it’s so outside of the box from what people think,” Miller said. “A lot of people look at me and they see gospel, as far as when you hear Christian artists and whatever, but I am a big metal girl. I’m a big ol’ rock star.”

Miller hopes the Red Cross CD sells out this year.

“Everything happens for a reason if you go through adversity or something like that,” Miller said. “The last 10 years have been kind of difficult but, you know what? I’m here, I’m standing and I want it all!” O

Carmen Miller ‘wants it all’ for Red Cross project

Concert to celebrate ‘Red, White & You, Too!’ Eight of the artists who donated their original tracks to this year’s “Red, White & You, Too!” CD, benefiting the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio, will gather July 29 for a summer concert to promote the project.

Carmen Miller, one of the featured artists, volunteered her time to organize the concert, which will take place at Hollywood Casino Toledo.

Miller also had a hand in last year’s concert.

“Dealing with a lot of different musicians is a very cool thing,” Miller said. “It’s fun, stressful, amazing, weird — all at the same time.”

Miller said she appreciates being able to hear her fellow artists from the album live, as it gives her a good perspective on the different types of music Toledo has to offer.

“I’m a musician myself and I’m an absolute fan of these people,” she said.

The goal of the concert, according to Miller, is getting the bands some publicity and drawing

attention to a good cause.

She said she hopes to show “the camaraderie of local musicians and for people to come out and hear lots of bands that they’ve never heard before.”

Miller also said she wants to have a great time, introduce the album with a bang and support the cause.

“Bands here in Toledo are very philanthropic. It’s the way that we support our city,” she said.

The tentative lineup for the concert, which begins around 7 p.m., is Zak Ward and Bob Stevens, Fish Fisher, The Bradberries, Carmen Miller with Aaftermath, Shutterfish, Nathan Roberts & The New Birds, Cindy Slee and Distant Cousinz as the finale.

Musical styles range from folksy to rock to electric influence, with each artist playing two or three songs.

Admission to the concert is free but audience members must be 21 years of age or older to attend, per casino policy. O — Sanya Ali n

12. Red, White & You, Too!

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer jfinney@toledofreepress.com

After months of lingering low temperatures, summertime in Toledo has “been a long time comin’,” and The Bradberries are celebrating the new season with its “Generic Summer Song.”

This track for “Red, White, & You, Too!” is designed to sound like a standard country song, complete with guitar strummin’, Southern accents and a beer belly that “ain’t never gonna get full.”

“We obviously wanted to do a summer song and Scott had an idea for a country song,” band member Brad Bury said. “The majority of country songs have to do with drinking beer, pickup trucks and girls in bikinis … so let’s do a song based on that.”

The three-man band recorded all the music for “Generic Summer Song” on the first take without having to redo anything before adding vocals to it.

“It pretty much just took an hour.

We could’ve spent more time on it.

But, as our bass player says, we’re not making gold records,” Bury said, laughing. “We know maybe a handful of country cover songs so playing ‘Generic Summer Song’ is definitely something different. We usually just play dance music.”

Bradberries writes ‘Generic’ country anthem for CD

By Jordan Finney

“

The majority of country songs have to do with drinking beer, pickup trucks and girls in bikinis … so let’s do a song based on that.”

— Brad Bury

The trio includes Bury on drums, Scott Ballard on fiddle and guitar and Tom Kemper on bass. All three are veteran vocalists who have known each other and played in bands together for more than 20 years.

“We play as much as we can but we really don’t practice together,” Bury said. “We’re all seasoned musicians so we often learn songs on our own then play them out the first time when we’re at a gig together. It works because we’re all just on the same page.”

About a year and a half ago, the three friends decided to form a band. Today, they perform nearly every weekend.

“We’re pretty much a cover band that plays other people’s music when we play out,” Bury said. “Our No. 1 priority as a band is to have fun. If we do that, and people enjoy our music, then we’re happy.” O

Birds of Chicago gives ‘a little bit of good’ to Red Cross

By Sanya Ali Toledo Free Press Staff Writer sali@toledofreepress.com

JT Nero and Allison Russell of Birds of Chicago celebrated the birth of their first child in December. After touring with her parents for more than six months, baby Ida Maeve has seen 38 states and counting.

“That’s been quite a ride, as it is for any parent,” Nero said. “We’re first-time parents and we’re trying to figure it out.”

Nero said the 6-month-old is so accustomed to life in a van that rest stops become a struggle for her.

“Luckily, she does not yet know that there’s anything but a touring life,” Nero said. “I suppose one of her friends will explain that to her at some point.”

Amid endless tours, Birds of Chicago has found time to donate their track, “All the City Girls,” to this year’s “Red, White & You, Too!” CD, benefiting the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio.

“With a project like the Red Cross, it’s a kind of win-win for everybody,” Nero said. “It’s nice for artists to donate their music and perhaps get their music out there to people who otherwise wouldn’t hear it.”

Larry Meyer, the group’s legal consultant and publicist in Toledo, informed them about the intended project. The duo no longer live here, so Meyer makes sure they are in the loop.

“The Red Cross is an amazing organization and it’s good to work with

charities where you actually see the work that’s done,” Nero said.

Their song for this year’s CD is an ode to summer activities following a frigid winter season.

“The song is a summertime in the city kind of song,” Nero said. “It was a long and brutal winter for all us Midwesterners, so this is a song about how to have fun in the summertime.”

The next step for Birds of Chicago includes more tours and an upcoming album release.

hope to have a new album recorded and out before the new year,” Nero said. “So we’re about halfway through recording it now and, in a perfect world, we’d have it out by October.”

Nero said projects like the Red Cross CD help prove that musicians can reach outside of themselves to give to a cause.

“The pursuit of music can be a very self-involved and narcissistic venture by nature, so anytime you get to do something to give back it feels good,” Nero said. “We hope it raises a bit of awareness. A little bit of good is a good thing.” O

Nathan Roberts & The New Birds going ‘In Stereo’ for Red Cross CD TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Toledoans Nathan, Joel and Daniel Trzcinski credit a Jack White sighting in Nashville, Tennessee, as the impetus for finally settling on a name for their band.

The brothers were in Nashville , Tennessee, playing a show when they saw a flier advertising The Old Birds.

“I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if we were The New Birds?’” Nathan said.

“When he said that, we were all quiet,” Joel said. “It was the first time we were all quiet and not immediately [saying], ‘No, no, no.’”

A minute later, they saw the musician White walking to his car.

“At that point, we thought, ‘It was meant to be,’” Joel said. “Seeing Jack White after you say anything, you might want to hang on to that.”

“It was a good omen,” Nathan agreed.

Nathan, a singer-songwriter and guitarist, recorded a solo album in 2011 as Nathan Roberts, adapting his middle name for his stage name. The following year, needing a full band for shows, he invited older brother Joel on drums and younger brother Daniel on keyboard and guitar to join, forming Nathan Roberts & The New Birds.

The group’s song, “In Stereo,” is featured on the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio benefit CD, “Red, White & You, Too!” The track originally appeared on the band’s 2013 selftitled debut album, which rose to No. 78 on the CMJ charts, which registers college and noncommecial airplay.

“For me the song is about unplugging from your surroundings, like when you put on a good vinyl and you’re going out of your way to listen to music,” Nathan said. “Not like when you have headphones on and you’re working, but when you’re completely diving into an artform and letting yourself go.”

“In Stereo” was fairly easy to write, Nathan said.

“I had this melody in my head and I sat down with the guitar,” he said.

“The guitar part going into the verse, I recorded on my phone. The next morning, I had to be somewhere early and the idea was still in my head. As I was driving, lyrics came to me.”

The brothers were happy to be part of the Red Cross fundraiser.

“Anytime we are approached about something that benefits someone else, it’s a no-brainer to me to help out,” Joel said. “We’re always willing to be part of something like that.” O

that asking for one kind of defeated the purpose of writing a love song. It just seemed so forced.”

Wayton began writing the song anyway, but the two soon broke up.

When they separated, she took his Pomeranian with her.

“She was pretty ruthless about the dog and tried to use him as leverage,” Wayton said. “The hope was that she would eventually hear this, be flattered, and then realize the song was about the dog. It’s like my last ditch effort to get my dog back.”

On the “Red, White & You, Too!” CD, the song is performed by Wayton’s band Tropic Bombs. Wayton began Tropic Bombs with Jon Ham-

mond, who helped Wayton in the songwriting process.

Wayton began his musical career by playing drums before he picked up singing, and he played in multiple bands before Tropic Bombs came together.

“It’d been a couple of years since we had played together, and we just got together to jam,” Wayton said. “We didn’t think we’d form a band. It was actually an accident.”

While playing one day, the group switched from playing rock to reggae, but Hammond forgot to put a pedal down. The sound that came about was still reggae, but with a twist, Wayton said.

“At first it was kind of a joke,” Wayton said. “We laughed about it.

But then we realized that it was a really cool sound.”

Now the band performs live and produces all their recordings. Hammond is no longer part of Tropic Bombs, but the remaining members took on several other musicians, including Steve Dwyer on drums, Nick Archer on bass and Justin Crumley and Ben Snyder on guitar.

“I don’t think we can be judged by just one song,” Wayton said. “We’re really a live band. We always want to play in Toledo and have people come and have a good time. We do everything ourselves. Our goal is to bring people together to have a fun time in Toledo. We’re really about Toledo.” O

July 6, 2014

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Mike “Fish” Fisher’s folk music has been called “mountain music from the Rust Belt,” a description he embraces.

“I do a lot of traveling and writing down South. That’s where my weird sound comes from that doesn’t really belong up here,” Fisher said.

He spends most of the spring and summer playing music in Toledo. In the fall and winter he heads south where he plays shows and occasionally escapes into the woods to hike.

“It’s hard to be out in the mountains and the woods and not get inspired,” he said.

Fisher wrote “You’re a Stunner” in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

“It’s basically a collection of cheap pickup lines I’ve embedded in my head and I just put them in the right order and made them rhyme,” Fisher said. “I was riding into Asheville, North Carolina, for dinner and thought of it on the ride there and then I jotted it down on whatever napkin or placemat was there. Then I tweaked the wordplay for the next couple weeks.”

He said he wrote the song with his wife Christina in mind.

“They are all things that at one time or another I said to my wife,” Fisher said. “I’m always trying to come up with the next clever thing to impress her.”

The lighthearted song is part of Fisher’s notso-lighthearted second album, “Gunpowder &

Gasoline,” which came out in May. “I knew I had some very deep songs coming on the album and some challenging things and I just kind of wanted to write one that’s fun to hear and fun to play,” he said.

Fisher recorded the song with producer E.J. Wells in Waterville.

“We’ve worked together so long he can read my mind,” Fisher said. “I told him I wanted a down-home flavor for the pop-oriented song.

We added banjo under the track. That added some roots and let the melody be the pop part.”

Fisher planned to submit the song to last year’s American Red Cross benefit CD, but the recording wasn’t done in time. After the album came out, Fisher gave a copy to Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller, who asked him about using “You’re a Stunner” on this year’s CD. “That confirmed it for me,” Fisher said. “It kind of picked itself.”

Many who are familiar with Fisher’s folk performances wouldn’t guess he’s also part of a heavy metal band, Societys Ugly Son, which performs all original songs and has released five albums.

Fisher said he’s happy to lend his talents to a cause like the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio.

“Usually musicians can give back more by what we’re creating than what we own,” Fisher said. “I don’t have much to give but I can give you access to things I wrote.” O

‘Lucky Day’

One soldier’s special moment inspires Distant Cousinz song on CD. chasing a video game, Myles decided to attach the money to a handwritten note thanking Lt. Col. Frank Dailey, who happened to be eating at the jfinney@toledofreepress.com Maumee restaurant, for his military service.

Dailey and Myles had never met. However, oledo musician Scott Fish of Distant Cousinz said he remembers the first time he met the the then-8-year-old wanted to “pay it forward” Gold Star kid who inspired hundreds of people because Dailey reminded Myles of his father, Army Sgt. Gary “Andy” Eckert, who was killed in to donate thousands of dollars to charity.

Myles Eckert, 9, of Waterville was sitting on Iraq when Myles was 5 weeks old.

“When I first heard the Eckerts’ story on a Fish’s lap at a Cracker Barrel when he found out that Fish wrote “Lucky Day,” which appears on “Red, CBS News clip, I wiped away a few tears and got super inspired to write the whole lyrics out. It White & You, Too!” “You were the one who wrote ‘Lucky Day’? You took me probably five minutes,” Fish said. “After know, you changed some of the words to my note,” the first verse, I got to the bridge and thought ‘What am I going to do with the chorus?’ The Myles said with an incredulous look.

Myles later told Toledo Free Press, “‘Lucky Day’ chorus is Myles’ note … edited a little bit.”

“Dear Soldier / My dad was a soldier, too / He’s in is the best.”

Earlier this year, Myles found a $20 bill in the heaven now / Well, I’m right here with you / I found 3661 Devers_Collision_TFP95_Layout 1 8/30/12 1:28 PM Page 1 parking lot of a Cracker Barrel. Instead of pur- this 20 in the parking lot / when we got here / We pay

T

it forward in my family / And it’s your lucky day …”

Myles’ mother, Tiffany Eckert heard “Lucky Day” via social media and contacted Fish.

“We really forged a relationship in the last few months,” she said. “He’s just a really good guy all around and very talented. I’m blessed to know him and I look forward to our future endeavors.”

Fish decided to share the song’s copyright with the Eckert family. Tiffany and Fish plan to do “some altruistic things together” with future proceeds, from the tune, which will be donated to Tiffany’s new nonprofit organization Lucky Day. “I want to translate the feeling that I had when I first wrote the song to others so it might inspire them to look at their life and ask ‘What can I do for someone?’” Fish said. “I want people to hear the song and say ‘Wow, I’m going to do a random act of kindness.’ ‘Lucky Day’ is all about following Myles’ example and paying it forward.” O

Creative Eckert name inspires a second Distant Cousinz track

When you think of freedom, baby names don’t often come to mind. But for Army Sgt. Gary “Andy” Eckert and wife Tiffany of Waterville, freedom was a dominating thought when their first child was born 10 years ago. n ECKERT CONTINUES ON 18

18 Star The baby girl was born during Andy’s first overseas tour. Andy, who was killed in Iraq less than two years later, and Tiffany agreed over the phone to name her Marlee Freedom Eckert.

“They wanted her to always remember that Andy was off fighting for her freedom and for people he’d never met. Because freedom’s never free,” said Scott Fish, lead vocalist for Distant Cousinz.

Fish met the Eckert family after he wrote a song about Marlee’s brother, Myles.

When Tiffany told him the TIFFANY ECKERT story of Marlee’s name, Fish decided to write a military-inspired song in tribute to Andy’s service.

“Daddy’s with you every day, in your heart and in your soul / He fought for Marlee’s Freedom and for people he’d never met / He sought to free them … from a cycle of endless debt / He laid his life down / We should never forget …”

“I usually come up with the title first. Once I have that, the song just flows out of me. ‘Marlee’s Freedom’ was a whisper in my ear,” Fish said.

Fish wrote the majority of the song while sitting on a forklift at work. He would jam out for hours, repeating the lyrics to himself so he wouldn’t forget them.

“I’ll admit that I even called my voicemail on lunch and sang the chorus to myself. I just didn’t want to lose it,” Fish said, laughing. “It was there.

We’d have a different song and maybe it’d be good but not as good as this one.”

Tiffany told Toledo Free Press that the song used to make Marlee cry, but now her daughter loves it.

The 32-year-old widow also said she is as “happy as a pig in mud” for “Marlee’s Freedom” to be part of the “Red, White & You, Too!” charity CD, because the American Red Cross is an organization that “has done so much” for her family. O

By Jordan Finney

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer jfinney@toledofreepress.com

A self-described nerd behind the scenes, Rob Storm opened up about his “longing to be accepted” with a sentimental ballad titled “Take Me Back Toledo,” featured on this year’s “Red, White, & You, Too!” CD. The son of two guitarists, Toledo-born Storm left the city at age 10 and did not return for more than 30 years. He was living in Dallas when he traveled to Toledo for a two-week trip that has turned into the past 14 years.

“This song became a personal, sentimental thing to me, where I’m yelling out to my mother, Patte Boyd, to move back home. She passed away about a year and a half ago,” Storm said. “It’s kinda evolved into something where if anyone wants to go back home then they should.

If you’re lost out in the world like I was feeling, not so crazy about living in South Texas, then go back home.”

Storm, who prefers to write original songs, usually performs contemporary acoustic rock and electric blues, though he characterizes “Take Me Back Toledo” as “folk pop.” He said he hopes the tune will serve as inspiration to rally the city “in whatever way that may manifest itself.”

“Take Me Back Toledo” became a huge hit at the Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tennessee, the city where Storm’s song also debuted on famed radio host and drummer Billy Block’s playlist.

“Hauntingly captivating, mystically spellbinding, a whirlwind of motion … the melodic storm from within. It is easy to lose yourself in the music of Rob Storm no matter what type of music you’re into,” said “The Billy Block Show” in a written statement in July 2013.

During the past year, Storm has been recording and writing “reclusively,” though he said he plans to begin playing in public more frequently.

“I don’t want to push the song in people’s faces. It will naturally take off if people like it. You can’t force music on anybody, just like you can’t force any specific place on anybody,” Storm said. “I’ve turned my whole life around in Toledo, so I really believe in this town. I always had great memories of it. When I was here, I felt like a somebody, like I could be heard.” O

n ATHANAS CONTINUED FROM 20 With “Skipaway,” Athanas somehow makes lyrics like “It don’t matter how the river runs when your life’s been torn apart” sound upbeat and catchy. The tune contains river imagery such as jumping fish, hollow logs and skipping stones.

Athanas wrote “Skipaway” on the porch of his dad’s house in Perrysburg,

Items rIght oFF the grIll! Baby Back ribs, grilled Boneless skinless Chicken Breast, tall grass hamburgers, Natural Casing hot Dogs

overlooking the Maumee River.

“It was like that old metaphor, the river drew me in,” Athanas said.

“I never had an intention of writing.

I was just sitting on the porch with a guitar, farting around, and it just kind of came out of me.”

Afterward, he put it aside, where it sat for years until he got divorced.

“As it is with most of my tunes,

there is a muse at work. I wrote it with the woman who was to become my wife in mind, and it made sense because she ended up dumping me,” Athanas said. “I went through a really hard divorce and one of the ways I helped to purge myself of it is I recorded an album and that song just sort of made sense to put on with all the mopey, woe-is-me songs

that were piling up.”

That solo album, “We Are Our Own Parade,” was released in 2005.

Athanas also released a primarily acoustic 2011 album, “Worn Out Libertines,” with The Coosters.

He is currently frontman for The Homewreckers.

Besides music, Athanas said he enjoys drawing and writing. His weekly cartoon, “Wrath O’ Ath’,” is published regularly in Toledo Free Press. A book of his “doodles” and “pomes” was published as “Random Commands, A Well-Hung Man & Other Claptrap” by University of Toledo Press in December.
