Sonnie Brown will interview Kate Power & Steve Einhorn on The Minstrel Song Show on KCBX, Saturday, June 7, between 2 and 4PM

Kate Power & Steve Einhorn are two musicians who have defined folk music in Portland, Oregon over the past 30 years. A rare combination, their music promotes community and romance simultaneously. Unique and original, the songs of Power & Einhorn personify harmony and musicial communion.

"There has been a lot of press about us over the years. Between decades of serving up folk music at Artichoke Music, winning a Grand Prize at Kerrville for a song from a lost boy, community activism like setting the Guinness World Record with the world's largest guitar band singing "This Land is Your Land" to allay hunger in Portland, playing A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor when he came to Oregon with his road show, letters from Pete Seeger letting us know how much he loves our music and getting to share letters and friendship with the real hero of our lives or giving an unknown Zimbabwean boy a great guitar to play after he built his first one out of an oil can, raw wood and stripped bicycle brake cables; there have been a lot of stories to tell. Here are just a few kernals on the ear of corn but this section gives a few bites of the tasty stories from the adventures of Artichoke Folk." About Kate & Steve - News & Media (Jan 16, 2007)

Pete Seeger wrote: " I finally got to listen to your CD 'pearls' . It's wonderful!"

"Hearing Kate & Steve sing is like having two friends in your backyard when it's grown too dark to see but not to lisen and they're singing songs you've loved for years. Then they sing some songs you've never heard and you know you'll want to hear them too, for years to come." Tom Paxton

The concert, a benefit for the Jazz Choir and Combo's program, will be held at 7 pm, Friday June 6, in Dos Pueblos’ brand-new Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for students and seniors, and preferred seating for $25. Tickets can be purchased online www.dpjazz.org or at the DPHS business office, 968-2541 ext. 228.

“Arctic Expedition,” (16 minutes) is an entertaining, family-friendly film, capturing spectacular images of polar bears, walrus, humpback whales, and waterfalls flowing from the polar ice cap, but it addresses the serious issue of global warming caused by human dependence on burning carbon fuels that is melting the sea ice and threatening the survival of the polar bears.

The film “Desperate Measures” ( 22 minutes), is based on a trip the students took to South Africa in the summer of 2006. Their film, which is much less suited to a family audience, explores the several solutions of how to deal with elephant over-population in Kruger National Park from culling, to translocation, to birth control for female elephants and vasectomies for males. It includes interviews with conservationists in South Africa and the U.S., including Rich Block, the Director of the Santa Barbara Zoo and local resident, the actor John Cleese.

The Museum provides free popcorn and cookies, wine, water and soft drinks. The films are underwritten by a grant from the Valley Foundation. For more information: 688-1082 or consult the Museum’s website, www.wildlingmuseum.org

The concert is on Saturday June 7th at 8 PM and Sunday June 8th at 3 PM at First United Methodist Church, Garden and Anapamu Streets.

BLIND WILLIES
Sonnie Brown will interview Blind Willies on The Minstrel Song Show on KCBX. 9O.1FM, Saturday, June 7, between 2 and 4PM

"If the Devil went down to San Francisco where Blind Willies are located and challenged Annie to a fiddlin' contest it would be no contest because you cannot fiddle like this without divine intervention. Blind Willies prove once again that traditionally styled folk music can sound aggressively modern." jill no jack Heart of the Night podcast 1/31/08 indieheart.com Blind Willies is Annie Staninec, multi-genre fiddler, and Alexei Wajchman, guitarist/singer/songwriter. They met and began playing together at San Francisco School of the Arts.

Annie has been playing bluegrass/old time fiddle for more than a decade. She's also a consummate gypsy jazz violinist. In 2006, she toured with David Grisman and the Gypsy Caravan. The highlight of those performances was a full orchestra playing David Grisman's “Gypsy Medley” from his soundtrack recording for the film, King of the Gypsies. As the featured fiddler, Annie electrified audiences in solos that honored the late Stéphane Grappelli who originally recorded the piece with David. She has also played with Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, Stephane Wrembel, and Crooked Still. Annie was Djangofest Northwest's 2006 recipient of the Dudley Hill Award for exceptional young artist. In 2008 she was named Fiddler of the Year at the inaugural Northern California Bluegrass Awards.

Alexei grew up in San Francisco's Mission District. After learning to play clarinet and sax, he taught himself to play guitar and began writing songs at 15. He was awarded the Blue Bear Celebrity Scholarship to study guitar and voice in 2002 and 2003, and he was a 2003 California Arts Scholar in sax. His early influences included Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Velvet Underground, Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Hank Williams, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors. His music is a soulful mix of folk, country, rock, and blues, and his lyrics are an intimate exploration of America's psycho/social landscapes.

The Spring Band Concert will feature saxophone Professor Robert Caron in Roger Boutry’s “Divertimento for Saxophone and Orchestra.” Associate Director of Bands Christopher Woodruff will conduct the Wind Ensemble in Eric Whitacre’s “Godzilla Eats Las Vegas.”

Student conductor Amanda Yoshimizu will conduct the final movement of Frank Ticheli’s Symphony No. 2, titled “Apollo Unleashed,” and the Cal Poly Saxophone Quartet No. 1 will be featured in Bob Mintzer’s “Rhythm of the Americas.”

The concert will conclude with the final movement of Michael Daugherty’s “Metropolis Symphony” titled “Red Cape Tango,” which was inspired by the comic strip Superman. “The work has musical moments that are ‘faster than a speeding bullet’ and ‘can leap tall buildings in a single bound,’” said Cal Poly Music Professor and Director of Bands William Johnson.

The concert is sponsored by Cal Poly’s Music Department, College of Liberal Arts, and Instructionally Related Activities program.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Olan Horne was one of six survivors of clergy sexual abuse who met privately with Pope Benedict XVI on his recent trip to the United States in April. For him it was an inspired encounter. On June 20 and 21 he will be in Santa Barbara to discuss this event in his talk, “Benedict XVI and the Crisis of Clergy Abuse: The Question of Change in the Catholic Church.” Mr. Horne will address the impact this meeting will have on future dialogue with the Church leadership and the practice of restorative work as a tool for justice and healing. A founding member of Boston’s victim support group, The Survivors of Joseph Birmingham, Mr. Horne was an instrumental force in the 2003 settlement process between victims and the Archdiocese of Boston. Benedict XVI’s meeting with Mr. Horne and the other survivors was an event that stirred emotions and provoked responses ranging from anger and cynicism to excitement and optimism. For Mr. Horne, who would often say, ‘I’m from Missouri--show me,’ his encounter with the Pope left him with restored hope. “There's a great new bell that has been rung, as far as I'm concerned,” he said. “And I'm hearing something that I have never heard.” Olan Horne’s talks are jointly sponsored by SafeNet, the Survivors Alliance and Franciscan Exchange Network, and the Franciscan Office of Pastoral Outreach. SafeNet is a volunteer group of clergy abuse survivors of the Franciscan Province of St. Barbara focusing on restorative and reconciliation issues. The Franciscan Office of Pastoral Outreach advocates for and assists clergy abuse survivors, family members, and affected communities. The event is also co-sponsored by the UC Santa Barbara Law and Society Program, the UC Santa Barbara Women’s Center, and the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center. Both talks are free to the public.
