ay the word tradition with even the slight-est trace of enthusiasm and youre likely
to send your show tune-singing friend intochorus mode. Who can resist the infectious openerto Fiddler on the Roof, the musical about thehard-working milkman with five daughters, wholeans on his ancestors and his faith for guidance asthe 20th century begins to rear its ominous head?
I really enjoy the evolution of his character, saidDavid Lynn, who plays Tevye the milkman. The

struggle he has between his faith and his traditionsand the modern world and the impact it has on histown and his family. Its a story of being able to beaccepting of other peoples differences while at the
same time hanging on to your history.Its strictly looking ahead for the Auburn Plac-
er Performing Arts Center (APPAC), whose newlyexpanded State Theatre opened in mid-October.While the renovated venue has already hosted mov-ies, music and a magician, this will be the first majorstage production.
We were kicking ideas around about what to do
to open the State Theatre, director Chris Haradasaid. We wanted a big show to coincide with thegrand opening. Even thought there will be a coupleof shows before us, ours will be the first theatricalperformance. We want to make a splash for PlacerCommunity Theater (PCT).
Fiddler on the Roof was first performed onBroadway 50 years ago. Many of the participantsin this production have been in it before Haradadirected Lynn as Tevye 15 years ago but its alsoattracted a younger crowd. Lines were out the door
at auditions.Weve got this amazing cast, Harada said.
Some have extensive community theater experi-ence; some have never been on stage in front of alive audience before. Its a real interesting cross sec-tion of performers. We have a mother and daughterin the cast and a grandmother and granddaughter.We welcome this kind of situation. Its a wonderful

thing to see a newbie talking to a seasoned veteran. They all gain somethingfrom each other.Auburn City Councilman Mike Holmes is one of those seasoned veterans.
His stage career stretches back to his days at Placer High School and produc-tions like The Heiress and Annie Get Your Gun. This time around, hell don therobes of the village Rabbi.
From what Ive seen so far, this production is going to blow people away,Holmes said. The acoustics in the renovated building are going to be sogood.
With the removal of the center wall, the theaters seating capacity has beenexpanded from 130 seats to 355. Upgrades were made to the proscenium and
stage, with a green room now beneath the stage. There is plenty of room nowto accommodate a cast of, say, 38 actors.The logistics of getting 38 people on and off stage and quietly moving the
set pieces is a challenge in itself, Harada said. But you can tell everybody isworried about making this right. I dont have to push them. I just steer them inthe right direction, dot the is and cross the ts.
According to the director, the company that owns the rights to the musicalis very specific about what can and cant be done to the script. You can changesome little things but you must stay in the tradition theres that word again of what its supposed to be.
Its the only musical Ive come across that has that stipulation, said chore-ographer Patti Baker. We have to adhere to the traditional choreography asmuch as possible. Its not much fun for me.
And only the men dance, as men and women were not allowed to dance withone another in turn-of-the-century Anatevka. But Baker leaned on her past asdance teacher at Roseville High School and recruited her former students and some current ones to take on the dual roles as Russian dancers and theJewish bottle dancers.

course Auburn, home to PTC. But one of the reasons they chose this musicalwas because of its popularity, not just to the audience but to the actors, too.
We wanted to put on a show that would draw people from all over, Haradasaid. We wanted to bring something to Auburn that was very recognizable andwell known. And we are so lucky to be able to do it at this theater. I think we aregoing to set the bar high for every other production that goes on here.
I guess you could say a new tradition has begun.
The overall feeling is that life goes on.In the end, we go on, whether its theway we wanted it to be or otherwise.

Call it the hillbilly mystique. At least thats how Tony Furtado de-scribes the aura that a banjo brings to a bands sound.
Its a very noticeable instrument, he said. To have a banjo that
sticks out, people dig it.Were it not for a simple misunderstanding, the Pleasanton native
might never have discovered the instrument.When I was in the sixth grade, we had an Intro to Music class, he
said. We had to make an orchestral instrument out of household items
and do a report on it. What I didnt hear was the orchestral part, so Imat home with a pie tin making a banjo like the ones I saw when my grand-parents watched Hee Haw.
Move over, Roy Clark. A new picker was about to embark on a five-string foray.
Furtado, 47, began to read up on the instrument and discoveredmusical genres that he had never heard of Appalachian folk, Irish folk,bluegrass, even minstrel.
Theyrepicking; youllbegrinning
Northern California native Tony Furtado wontwo National Banjo Championships while still ateenager. His recording of the Beatles favoriteI Will with Alison Krauss has sold millions ofcopies. The singer-songwriter/slide guitaristsnumerous talents will be on display at the Cali-fornia Banjo Extravaganza in Grass Valley.

California Banjo Extravaganzagathers instruments virtuosos,
band of bluegrass all-starsBy Paul Cambra | Foothills Entertainer

It intrigued me, he said. I fell in love withit and my folks got me a real one at age 12. Iburned through teacher after teacher and prac-ticed six to eight hours a day throughout highschool and college.
His parents said as long as he kept his gradesup he could spend as much time as he wantedplaying the banjo. This seemed to work, eventhough he spent the better part of his math andhistory classes reading music theory books.
I was doing whatever I could to better myselfin my own time, he said. Its not like I couldplay in the high school marching band.
College was at California State University,Hayward. That was where he met bluegrassband leader Laurie Lewis. She was looking for abanjo player but needed one that could go ontour. He quit school and never looked back.
I was so green, fresh out of high school fresh out of the bedroom actually, I spent somany hours a day practicing, he said. ButI learned stage presence and how to accepta compliment from an audience member. Ilearned to enjoy the interaction with the bandmembers on stage and off; how to actually coex-ist with people for a month at a time.
In the process of all this learning he won twoNational Banjo Championships. Now his style isdescribed as a fusion of traditional and pro-gressive elements. Musician David Lindley arenowned multi-instrumentalist once said
Furtados banjo playing scared the crap out of(him).
David, hes such a sweet guy, Furtado said.I played some banjo and bottleneck with him.Over the past 10-15 years I have played a lotmore guitar than banjo Ive been more intosongwriting and singing but the past year Ihave been much more into the banjo, and thatsbeen a lot of fun.
He kept his day jobNot many people know how to have more
fun with a banjo than Steve Martin. The popularcomedian has practically made a second careerout of it, touring with the Steep Canyon Rangersand recognizing excellence in the instrumentthrough his Steve Martin Award for Excellence inBanjo and Bluegrass.
One of those recipients is Mark Johnson,who is credited with revolutionizing the art of
clawhammer banjo, adapting its techniquesand rhythms to the bluegrass genre and in theprocess, coining the term clawgrass.
I didnt set out to create a style, Johnsonsaid. It was never a deliberate thing, just thetitle of an album I made with Tony Rice. It camedown to that or bluehammer.
Johnson, 59, grew up on the Hudson River
Bill Evans has organized the Third Annual California Banjo Extravaganza in Grass Valley. He also wrote the best sell-ing banjo book, Banjo for Dummies.
near West Point in New York, not far from wherePete Seeger sailed Sloop Clearwater. His momhelped him buy his first banjo, and found some-one who could give him lessons eight for $40.
It was the great fiddler Jay Ungar.In 1981 he was introduced to Tony Rice, and
spent a lot of the 80s and 90s on the leftshoulder of Tony Rice when the seasonedguitarist would bring him out to play during thesecond set.
He knew that I had no experience, and if Istarted tensing up he would lean over and talk
to me and tell me jokes, Johnson said.In 2007, Johnson and Emory Lester were up
for Instrumental Album of the Year at the Inter-national Bluegrass Music Association Awards.
Thats where he first ran into Steve Martin.Afterward, he sent a copy of the CD to Martinsagent, with cutout banjos on the envelope toget it past the front desk.
It worked. He got a card from Martin, alongwith an invitation to dinner at his New Yorkhome.

When I got to the house it was NewYork City at Christmas time and therewas the smell of cooking in the kitch-
en, he said. They were lovely people;I saw all of the banjos in the corner.After dinner we sat for four hours; he
had a list of tunes I had recorded andhed say please play this one. I really gotto know this fellow who was really in love
with his banjo.A couple of years later Johnson re-ceived a call from Martin, who was in thestudio recording in clawhammer style, andwanted to send him a copy of the CD. Hegave him his address and a few days latera FedEx truck pulled up with a surprise.
The lady hands me an envelope andsaid Wow, you know Steve Martin?Johnson said. I say, Yeah; we are banjoplayers and a check for $50,000 falls out
and I see the award and I fall to my knees.She thinks I am having a heart attack. Istart jumping up and down I won, Iwon but thats the tactic they use forthe winners; we all have a similar story.
Johnson was the third of five winners
so far, the only one who plays clawham-mer style and the only one with a day
job.I am the director of emer-gency management in Levy
County, Fla., north ofTampa, he said. I trynot to schedule toomuch in the summer,especially August andSeptember, whenwe deal with a lotof hurricanes. Myresponsibility is thesafety of the peoplein Levy County.
The award camewith an appearance
with Martin on the LateShow with David Letter-
man. While in the dressingroom, Martin warned him that
the host keeps the studio very cold,between 48 and 52 degrees. That can wreak
havoc on an acoustic instrument.The green room was a second temperature,
and the studio a third, Johnson said. Myinstrument wouldnt keep in tune. When it cametime to go on, I was in the wings thinking tomyself, Please, Lord, after I am dead and gone,

there is still going to be a YouTube of this out there, and Biff the stagemanager said 30 seconds and Steves out on stage talking to Lettermanand Biff shoves me out on stage and I wave with one hand while Im stilltuning with the other. In the time it took for Steve to get up and walkover and sit down with me I got it in tune and it went off like clockwork.The way I looked at it, its going to be over in four minutes so I am goingto savor it like a great cup of coffee. It was amazing.
And it only got more amazing. The next day they ew to Nashville tobe a part of the Earl Scruggs Tribute at the Grand Ole Opry.
It was only my dream to stand on that stage and perform, he said.Steve was eulogizing and there were 25 of the worlds greatest banjoplayers and I was one of them now. It hit me like a tidal wave. I still getgoosebumps when I think of it. Im a schmoe that has a day job. Some-where along the line I became a famous banjo player.
But he still works for a coastal county, with a tremendous amount ofresponsibility on his shoulders. For him, banjo playing is a release, some-thing he does for solitude. But somehow it touched a lot of people outthere and one of them was Steve Martin.
All I did was give him more tools in his tool kit, Johnson said. Itwas like letting an eagle out of its cage; hes ying free and writing and
recording. I might have had a little bit to do with that.
He wrote the book on banjosBill Evans grew up in Virginia, but he wasnt inuenced by a grandfa -
ther that sat on the front porch picking a banjo. No, he lived in suburbiaand discovered the banjo the same way Tony Furtado did Roy Clarkon Hee Haw. The rst gig he ever had was playing at the opening of aMcDonalds in Virginia Beach in 1972. He made $50.
Thats not bad money for a bluegrass musician today, Evans said.Evans is currently in the process of writing his second book, a fol-
low-up to 2007s Banjo for Dummies, the most popular banjo instruc-tional book in the world.
Tom Franks of FolkWords once said Evans does for the ve-stringbanjo what Van Gogh did for color treats it in a different way and thenshares it with you exploring bluegrass from the tradition to the faredges of alternative.
He attributes a lot of that to his interest in jazz for a number of years.Most musicians want to move beyond so they spend time listening to
and studying other types of music, he said. I adapted the jazz theoryand ngerboard from guitar to banjo. Its affected my own compositions.I went to graduate school at Berkeley and was in the music department
there for ve years; I heard a lot of different types of music.Hes also seen the resurgence of interest in banjo music of late, a lot of
it having to do with alt rock bands and jam bands and acts like Mumfordand Sons. Before that it was instrumentalists like Bla Fleck or NoamPikelny, and the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack brought blue-grass music to mass awareness.
In certain situations, bluegrass and Americana may be permanently ina more prominent place in our awareness, he said.
Evans has had the good fortune to appear on the seminal Americanaradio show, Prairie Home Companion.
Anyone whos seen the movie, there is a recurrent theme of underly-
ing chaos throughout the show, he said. I can conrm that with everyber of my being. As a rst timer it was terrifying, where in the middle ofthe show youd be handed a script with last minute changes. As a profes-sional, its a challenge, but you rise to the occasion. Then you feel a greatsense of triumph. But I could not put out of my mind the fact that therewere four million people listening.
There wont be quite that many people in attendance when the ThirdAnnual California Banjo Extravaganza comes to The Center for the Arts
this month. But it will probably be a full house, and those who do come will betreated to a very special evening.
Tony Furtado makes music outside of the bluegrass realm, Evans said. Hehas an alt rock jam band acoustic audience. His banjo styling is progressive,drawing on jazz, blues, funk and Irish music. Mark Johnson is an innovator in theclawhammer style, a style most associated with Old Time music, but in reality,his technique is very contemporary. I will strike the balance between them, llin the gaps and feature some of the other band members. This is an awesomeband, I cant say enough about the talent we have assembled here.

Theyre still working on ways to save the DeWitt The-ater from being replaced with a parking lot, but evenif a deal is worked out with Costco to save the World
War II-era building, improvements will need to be made to
the 70-year-old structure.But Michael and Kay Coder, who run Music and Moreand use the DeWitt as their home theater, know that theyrenot alone in what seems like a David vs. Goliath battle. No,a veritable cast of characters has stepped up to help savethe theater, and three separate fundraisers are being heldthis month alone to raise money and awareness.
DeWitt Theater gets alittle help from its friends
funwithfundraisersThe DeWitt Theater was built in 1944 by the United States government in 1944 as part of a World War II hospital complex.
Local musicians teamed up for a Broadway/country/Elvis Presley musical revue called On With the Show.

Rehearsals are underway for Mu-sic and Mores next production,
Les Miserable, which runsfrom Nov. 28 to Dec. 7.
On with the ShowFirst up is a collection of local musicians who are going to fill the stage for
two hours with intermittent performances of country music, Broadway tunes andElvis.
While one of us is strumming their acoustic and singing in front of the closedcurtain, they will be setting up for the next act behind it, said Glen Turney, whoalong with Mel Gibson will serve as emcee and ringleader. Our opening bit willgo something like what do you think of the place? and hell say something like,theyre trying to restore it, and well talk about growing up in Auburn and allthe good musicians we know, and while I never had the chance to play here, if Icould, it would go something like this
Also performing will be Ted Farley, Donna Mattson, Jack Smith, CeceliaSwick, Sharon Townsend and Jim Young.
Joe Getty and the Dead FlowersJoe Getty didnt grow up in Auburn but he knows enough about the history
of the DeWitt and the value of community theater to want to help out.
Richard, our lead guitarist, became aware of the theaters situation andasked if the band would like to play, Getty said. I love these old theaters.Everybody in my family has done community and youth theater, so we are happyto help out. I hate that we tear down beautiful old cultural centers because yougo to a theater like that and it has a vibe. You are taking in culture and it has adifferent, richer feel to me.
They will play their original songs built from traditional American music --just a little twisted, louder and nastier, they say. The band started as a record-
ing project, to get some of Gettys songs on album, with a couple of live showsto go with it. Thirty-five shows later, they find themselves working on their thirdalbum. The name comes from the Rolling Stones classic.
Its kind of got that organic, Americana sound to it, Getty said. For somereason that sort of imagery gets attached to the bands who play traditionalAmericana, which covers a lot of different kinds of music. We tend to draw fromdifferent ingredients; were not purists. We like to combine rock with countryand the rest of it.
On Nov. 14 they will be playing a bunch of their songs, along with a couple ofcovers.

70th Anniversary ExtravaganzaAnd to mark the 70th birthday of the building that was constructed by the
federal government in 1944 as part of a World War II hospital complex, Musicand More will throwing a party that honors their past while not giving up on thefuture.
There will be hors doeuvres and wine and desserts and a silent auction; andthen the entertainment begins, said Music and More founder Kay Coder. Itsgoing to be an event that includes a show.
The show will include selections from different plays -- a snippet from almostevery age group, she said. There will also be a sneak preview of Les Misera-bles, the production currently in rehearsals.
Well have past students and past parents and current students and pa-trons, she said. Weve had entire families in some of our productions. It wouldbe fun if they came in the costume of the show they were in. We encouragepeople to come dressed up as their favorite character. You could also dress upin 1940s-era clothes.
There will be scenes, songs and dances from Sleeping Beauty, Wicked, RockyHorror Picture Show, Hairspray, Into the Woods and more.
This theater used to entertain wounded soldiers from the wars in Europeand the Pacific. Lets hope its not a casualty of progress, but a source of artisticinspiration for years to come.

By Paul Cambra | Foothills Entertainer
Its been around a little more than 300 years andwere still fascinated by what can be done withit. Its the piano, and for all of its exposure as a
magnificent medium from Mozart to Maurizio Pollini,how much do you really know about the grandest ofkeyed instruments?
Nows your chance to fill in the blanks, as oneworld-class pianist after another comes through Ne-vada County for American Pianists Association West
Fest Week beginning Wednesday, Nov. 12, andending with InConcert Sierras Third Sunday Concerton Nov. 16.
This is the first time weve done a multi-dayshow, said Musical Director Ken Hardin. InConcertSierra has presented the winner of the AmericanPianists Association (APA) competition every year inour season for the last 10 or 12 years.
Wednesday: Dan TepferFirst up is 2007 APA Jazz Fellowship winner, pia-
nist-composer Dan Tepfer.We are primarily a classical presenter. We dont
typically have the jazz winner, but all of the programsexcept for Sunday will be house concerts, moreintimate events, Hardin said. He is a very, veryaccomplished pianist. He started out in classical,turned to jazz and really blossomed. Hes in demandall over the world.
In fact, right after Wednesdays performance,
Tepfer will catch a redeye out of Sacramento and flyto Portugal as a special guest at the Guimares JazzFestival on Friday. But while hes here, you mighthave a chance to pick his brain.
We encourage the artists to talk to the audi-ence, Hardin said. Its a little bit shorter format,with no intermission, and afterwards we have somenoshes and wine and mingle and talk to the artist.Its proven to be very popular.
Thursday: Everything you ever wanted
to know about a piano and more!
Peter Sumner is the piano technician for Steinway,Stanford University and the Aspen Music Festival.He will be here to discuss the art and science of tun-ing a concert grand piano, how a piano mechanismworks and answer any questions from the audience.
He is a high-powered technician/tuner who iscurrently the curator of pianos at Stanford Univer-sity, Hardin said. He travels up and down theWestern Hemisphere, from Alaska to Colombia.Hell present a little seminar on what he does. Hellexplain the interaction he has with the pianist, whathe can do for a pianist right before a concert andwhat he cant do.
Hardin said it should satisfy a lot of peoples cu-riosity and perhaps enlighten a few. But dont thinkyoure going to go home and tune the old upright.
Its the kind of thing you could subtitle dont trythis at home, he said.

Friday: J.Y. Song and Spencer Myer
On Friday there will be two pianos and fourhands. APA classical fellows J.Y. Song and Spen-
cer Myer will perform Ravels two piano concertoson matching Steinway B pianos in the home of Dr.Aileen James, who runs the pre-concert forums andalso hosts a classical music show on KVMR radio.
Of course I will get them to talk ahead of time,James said. At the Third Sunday Concerts I in-terview the artists and talk about their careers andget them to talk about themselves. Not so muchabout the music they will talk throughout theirperformance but I like the audience to feel l ikethey know them a little better, why they are doing
this, how old they were when they began, get themto divulge what its like to do what theyve done. Idont even have to ask a lot of questions; they justgo with it.
Myer was at one time a student of J.Y. Song. Now,they will be performing as colleagues.
When playing a concerto, its hard to get anorchestra, Hardin said. So there are condensedversions reductions for piano, so one pianistcan play the orchestral part while the other plays thesolo. They will do this with Ravels concertos, trading
off the solo/orchestral parts.Saturday: Everything you ever wantedto know about music competitions
Spencer Myer and J.Y. Song will return and bejoined by APA Artistic Director Joel Harrison andDr. Aileen James. They will lead a discussion on thetrials and triumphs of a musicians preparation andexertion in professional piano competitions.
James is a former APA artistic director (1986-1997)
and enjoyed her role of shepherding contestantsthrough the process. She and Harrison will speakfrom the perspective of the organizer; Meyer andSong will talk about their competition experiencefrom the perspective of the pianist.
I was kind of a mother hen, James said. Itwas fun. I was not only the artistic director but I was
like their manager. What they won was two yearsof management and I was the one booking them. Ilearned to do a lot of things I never thought Id bedoing.
The substantial amount of work they receive overtwo years is in addition to a $50,000 prize.Sunday: Christopher Taylor
To round out the week of piano youll not soonforget, the shows will switch from the intimate houseconcert venues to the still-quite-cozy Seventh DayAdventist Church, where InConcert Sierras Third
Sunday Concerts are held.The sound and experience are so immediate inthis venue, Hardin said. People have said to meover the years that they didnt enjoy or appreciatechamber music until they came to the ones at thechurch.
This month, 2006 APA fellowship winner Chris-topher Kit Taylor will perform Bachs Goldberg
Variations on the two keyboard Steinway.It has two keyboards, like a harpsichord, Hardin
said. One is the regular keyboard, the other sits
just above it and is about an octave higher. Theycan be played independently or coupled together.If you play it coupled it adds to the texture greatly.The main thing is that it allows the pianist to realizeand execute music written for the harpsichord, suchas all of the keyboard music written by Bach.
Hardin saw Taylor play the Goldberg Variations atthe Mondavi Center and was blown away. He set outto get Taylor to Grass Valley for all to hear. Hardin is
finding it easier and easier to get top notch classicalpianists to come play here.
Currently we have become a popular stop onpeoples touring schedules, he said. A lot ofpeople are soliciting us to bring their programshere. We have a fairly limited budget and I have tonegotiate pretty hard. But the classical music worldis really a small world. People who come here, theywant to come back. We take really good care ofthem and of course we live in such a beautiful partof the world.

cartoonycomedytoheartfeltdramaFuddy Meers up next in Theater by the Book series
No, their intention is not to put set designersand costumers out of business. Theyre justtrying to offer a little extra culture to the com-
munity without wearing themselves out.Were a community theater; everyone is a
volunteer, and there is only so much time we candevote, said Peter Mason of Sierra Stages. We dothree to four full productions a year. These readingsare additional projects. Everyone in our communityis really busy with jobs and shows, and its a good
opportunity to do a project with a short-term com-mitment.
Theater by the Book is a series of informal playreadings that are co-presented by Sierra Stages andthe Miners Foundry Cultural Center. This monthwill see the 10th installment, a reading of FuddyMeers, an American play by David Lindsay-Abairethat will be directed by Danny McCammon.

Its one of my favorite plays, McCammon said.Its a great, cartoony comedy that turns into aheartfelt drama. The main character has amnesiaand wakes up every day without any knowledge ofwho she is. This takes place in the space of one dayand the audience goes along for the ride with her.
What is basically a reading for a live audience,the plays tend to be pretty informal. Each readingis a little different, but generally people read froma script, often set up on music stands. Props andsound effects if any are minimal, and typically
used only if something is not really clear.They are pretty bare-bones, Mason said. No
set design, no costumes its part of the appeal.Theyre relatively simple; its a different experiencethan a full-on production.
Sometimes they can be a trial for possibly some-thing bigger. McCammon said he wouldnt mindproducing a full-scale production of Fuddy Meerssomeday, but for now hes satised with the strippeddown version.
Theyre a lot of fun; its a cool vehicle for theaudience to take in a play, he said. Its kind of likeputting a play on its feet without going through the
whole process of props and sets and everythingelse. In a production, you want to get every last nedetail according to your vision. In a reading, you cancut it down so its workable, simplify the blocking,cut out parts that are complicated.
Mason said that the Miners Foundry was instru-mental in helping them get this series off of theground. So far theyve done comedy, drama, anoriginal musical and an original play, and have hadanywhere from three to 12 characters up on stage.He said they have a core audience of about 50
people who attend every reading, sometimes moredepending upon the popularity of the play.
Audiences seem to enjoy them, Mason said.And people look forward to them. I get lots ofcomments.
In addition to the minimal commitment fromthe actors comes an affordable ticket price for theaudience. Refreshments are available for purchase,including a no-host bar as they have no intention ofputting caterers and bartenders out of business.

Somehow, these four guys from the Re-no-Tahoe region have cooked up a soundthat would feel right at home on the bayou.
Sure, there are touches of funk and alt-rock, but theAmericana they invoke is a far cry from westernNevada.
Jelly Bread will be at the Auburn Event Centerthis month, opening for Poor Mans Whiskey, whoseown music is described as a fusion of bluegrass/oldtime, Southern rock and old school jam. We talkedwith Jelly Bread guitarist Dave Berry and asked himabout Tahoes 2012 Band of the Year.
How did Jelly Bread come to be?The drummer and I, Cliff, weve known each othersince we were kids in Sparks, Nev. I was a goodfriend with his older brother, known him since he
was 4 or 5 years old. We each took off on our ownmusical directions, then hooked up about four yearsago and put this band together.
Alt-rock, soul, funk, rock, Americana. Whobrought what influences to the band?Its pretty much all of us. I grew up on Ben Harper.Ive got the kind of soul and Americana influence.
Jelly Bread guitarist has
some stories to tellBy Paul Cambra | Foothills Entertainer
swamp
rockwithsoul
Cliff comes from an R&B and gospel world. Eric hasbeen in jam bands and funk bands. We all bring ourown little flavor to it.
You feature lap steel guitar, a B3 organ and four-
part harmonies. How would you describe yourmusic?Its swamp rock with soul. With the lap steel, youdefinitely get that New Orleans, Southern funkyfeel.
Who does most of your songwriting?I do right now, probably 80 percent, but the longerwere together, the more we are on the road, themore we throw our hats into the pot. Its gettingmore equal.
Any particular covers you guys enjoy playing?We throw in snippets here and there. A little Par-liament-Funkadelic, some Stevie Wonder and BobMarley. Of course we do those our own way.
Where does the storytelling fit in?Thats the way I started in music, that singer-song-writer acoustic stuff. We translate it into our music.We might be funk rock and swampy but it still boilsdown to sitting down with the acoustic guitar and
writing songs about your experiences.
Youve opened for Robert Cray and played someprominent music festivals. Any good stories fromthe road that youd like to share?Life on the road is a story in itself. We go and openfor Robert Cray, play to a sellout crowd and get a
standing ovation, then the next night youre in Mon-tana playing to three people. The road is where you
go to build a thick skin.
How is working in the studio with Tom Gordon?Weve known him for a few years. Weve actuallyhelped him out. He teaches at the University ofNevada, Reno, and weve been his guinea pig band.He lets his students record us and learn things thenwe trade time with him in the studio. Hes an incred-ible engineer.
Your new EP is titled Lessons Learned. What
have you learned since your last album?What it takes to be a touring, working band. Themain ingredient is the sacrifice of our time awayfrom our families and learning how to get along withfour guys living out of Sprinter. Its a pretty comfort-able ride. We finally got rid of our Ford van pullingthe trailer.
