A quick lil’ orientation, before the more formal table of contents...

NEWS FEATURES: A new one today, PLUS, please take note of the SEPARATE EDITION that catalogues all the News Features that the Guide has published for the past six months, through June 23rd. That’s apart from the (literally) thousands of events write-ups that appeared in each edition, with all those news features, when they were originally published.

FESTIVALS: it’s multiple-choice that we demystify for a happily brisk set of choices this weekend – and beyond.

CONCERTS and other arts events: there’s so much, in abundant profusion, for you to find something good any night you want to venture forth – including, well, TONIGHT. And of course, since there’s more this weekend than any one person could possibly do (unless they’ve perfected cloning), we must promise to publish all that soon for you, nice and clean, but not muddled-in now.

Fri-Sun, Jun 26-28,
FESTIVAL,
in San Diego Co (Vista):
Annual “SAN DIEGO SCOTTISH HIGHLAND GAMES & GATHERING OF THE CLANS” at Brengle Terrace Park, 1200 Vale Terrace Dr, Vista 92084.
+
This is a big event. The main festival is Saturday & Sunday, with an opening event Friday evening. There are plenty of entertainers, Scottish-style “Heavy Athletics” competitions, celebrations and gatherings of the clans, Highland Dancing, Piping & Drumming (that’s bagpiping), Sheepdog Trials, and plenty more. It all (or a lot of it, anyway) evokes ancient feuds, misty moors, Highland spirits, the wail of bagpipes, the sweet sound of fiddles, and the magic of Scottish legends.
+
A FRIDAY EVENT HAS BEEN ADDED, with a special STORYTELLING SHOW to kick off the annual San Diego Highland Games, at 7 pm on the Beer Garden Stage at Brengle Terrace Park.
+
Each year, there’s plenty of music, beyond the featured four groups of entertainers on two stages. This year, Irish / Celtic harp master AEDAN MacDONNELL is playing both days, and judging the harp competition on Sunday. Here are the four featured acts...
+
On the Beer Garden Stage...
THE WICKED TINKERS, a longtime festival favorite, return. The Tinkers’ Aaron Shaw is an expert piper – each morning before the Tinkers play, Aaron acts as a judge for the piping competition. Aaron is joined by Keith Jones on snare and other percussion, CJ Henderson on didgeridoo and horn, and Tiki King on the big drums.
+
STAND EASY joins the Tinkers on this stage. This is their first time at this festival. Led by John McLean Allen, the group fuses traditional Celtic tunes and highland pipes with modern rock styles.
+
On the Main Stage...
HIGHLAND WAY has been a popular attraction at these games for many years, and this year they’re moving to the main stage on the athletic field. Lead singer and guitarist Brian Caldwell, a native of Glasgow, is joined by Paul Castellanos. Paul plays fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, and almost anything else with strings. They’re joined by Jim Soldi on bass, Sharon Whyte on accordion, Bob Sale on drums, and Glen Fisher on bass. Together they put a modern spin on traditional Celtic music.
+
THE BROWNE SISTERS AND GEORGE CAVANAUGH round-out the lineup on the main stage. Sisters Diane, Pamela, and Laura have been singing together since they were little, and their three-part harmony can carry you away. Their cousin George adds his rich vocals and masterful guitar to make an outstanding quartet. A truly fine act.
+
It turns out that Brian Caldwell (HIGHLAND WAY) and George Cvanaugh (BROWNE SISTERS) have been good friends for a long time, so expect some musical intermingling at some point during the weekend.
+
There’s so much to do at the Games, but be sure to reserve some time to sit and listen to the featured musicians.
+
Notes on two of the bands...
+
WICKED TINKERS – “Cask Strength Tribal Celtic Music!” Pioneers of the growing Tribal Celtic movement, the Tinkers have been playing haunting, heart-pounding bagpipes and irresistible tribal drums as a professional touring band since 1995. With the addition, several years back, of the mesmerizing drone of the Australian didgeridoo and Bronze Age Irish horn, the magic was complete. Sit back and be transported to an earlier time in Scotland and Ireland, when battle cries filled the air and strange, unheard-of creatures roamed the night. Or better yet, get on your feet and let your body move to ancient rhythms and forgotten sounds.
+
HIGHLAND WAY plays everything from high-energy festivals to those big Performing Arts Theaters from Scotland to Nova Scotia, and Ireland to California. These seasoned studio session musicians bring the same polished energy to stages around the world. With their huge repertoire they know how to tailor their performance to the audience. A native Scot with his Glasgow accent, Brian Caldwell is well known for his wonderful ability to charm any crowd while his energetic and driving rhythm guitar blends flawlessly with the rest of the band. Joining Brian are Paul Graham Castellanos - on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, Sharon Whyte - on accordion and keyboards, Bob Sale - on percussion and drums, Glen Fisher - on bass, and master of guitars Jim Soldi. Highlighting Celtic music from Scotland and Ireland, with originals and the occasional popular cover.

A “SHOW-of-the-WEEK” pick...

Thu, Jun 25, in Newhall (Santa Clarita):
Time tba MISS DEVON & THE OUTLAW with special guests KRISTYN HARRIS and BROOK WALLACE, play a festival-headliner-worthy western music evening for the “SCVTV PRESENTS THE OUTWEST CONCERT SERIES” at a venue in Newhall.
+
The full lineup in these bands and support groups is known to western music fans, with DEVON DAWSON, JESSIE DEL ROBERTSON, KRISTYN HARRIS (on bass), and BROOK WALLACE (on fiddle).
+
Western swing is the official music of Texas, and these four award-winning, high-energy Western music performers from Texas have thrown in together to kick up some serious dust around the old corral. As a result, what Miss Devon & the Outlaw, Kristyn Harris, and Texas champion fiddle player Brook Wallace do is more fun than "puttin' socks on a rooster."
+
MISS DEVON & THE OUTLAW, the duo of Devon Dawson and Jessie Robertson, was formed in 2007. Since then they have won many awards. Devon is a top entertainer in western music, known for her "vintage sock-rhythm guitar style, and warm 'swingtime cowgirl' vocals which bring to mind legendary B-western ladies of the silver screen. Jessie has a"fine tenor to baritone vocals" reminiscent of Tommy Duncan, lead singer with Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. He also plays a little saxophone and may drift off into a dozen alias personalities... better keep an eye on the rascal.
+
KRISTYN HARRIS made a lot of new fans during her second appearance at the 2015 Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival AND her OutWest Concert Series April Performance. She started playing music at age 14, and last fall, became the youngest performer to win the WMA “Female Performer of the Year.” Kristyn is "noted for her powerful vocals, solid rhythm guitar style, songwriting, yodeling, and captivating stage presence." She is joined by award-winning fiddle champ BROOK WALLACE.
+
These concerts are filmed and aired by SCVTV, the community's public television media center.

A “SHOW-of-the-WEEK” pick...

Thu, Jun 25, in Altadena:
8 pm THE SALTY SUITES plus DAVID STARR play a strong double-bill at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena.
+
“THE SALTY SUITES played their first show together in a high security prison for the criminally insane. They enjoy spending time with their cats, drinking whiskey and taking long walks on the beach. Their music is heavily influenced by small woodland creatures and traveling encyclopedia salesmen. Lyrically their inspiration derives from fortune cookies and grumpy cat memes. They’ve been working on their storytelling, and would have you believe they are a functionally dysfunctional band of hooligans. THEY LIE A LOT,” says venue impresario Bob Stane, who is crazy about them (as are we).
+
DAVID STARR is an Americana singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist living in Cedaredge, Colorado. His music has roots in Arkansas blues, country rock and classic rock. Influences range from The Band to Jackson Browne to Eagles to Eric Clapton and Todd Rundgren. He has played bars, high school and college gigs, weddings and club and concert stages since the age of 14. His Fayetteville, Arkansas hometown roots put him in close proximity to The Cate Brothers, Levon Helm and other great artists.
+
Starr played drums and sang lead vocals with numerous local bands in the northwest Arkansas before picking up the guitar and fronting both there and in Aspen, Colorado in the early ’80s. It was during his time in Aspen that he was able to share the stage with the likes of the Nitty Gritty Dirty Band, Dan Fogelberg, Kenny Edwards and others. He played in local Roaring Fork Valley groups as drummer, guitarist and vocalist, including the David Starr Band. Starr owns and operates a retail music store called Starr's Guitars in Cedaredge, Colorado where he makes his home. He gigged with the David Starr Band until the fall of 2013 when he decided to devote more time to his solo efforts.
+
The DSB opened for Travis Tritt, Survivor, The Guess Who and Clint Black in recent years, in addition to playing dates all over the western slope of Colorado and in Starr's native Arkansas. In addition to keeping up a gigging schedule, Starr also promotes concerts in the small town of Cedaredge hosting such artists as John McEuen, Karla Bonoff, Michael Johnson, Dana Cooper and others. He also coordinates music for the Applefest every fall. And he was also fortunate to work with John Oates on as lead guitarist on a couple of shows in Colorado and Arkansas. He travels for gigs from his home base on the south face of Colorado's Grand Mesa to performances in Texas, California, Arkansas and Canada. He performs here on the heels of two UK HotDisc Top 40 chart successes with Way Past Ready (#6) and Alive Again (#13). He has four solo CD's and one with The David Starr Band.

A “SHOW-of-the-WEEK” pick...

Fri, Jun 26, in Altadena:
8 pm MISS DEVON & the OUTLAW plus KRISTYN HARRIS with BROOK WALLACE, bring top award-winning Western music to the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena.
+
Western swing is the official music of Texas, and these four award-winning, high energy western music performers from Texas, have thrown in together to kick up some serious dust around the old corral. As a result, what Miss Devon & the Outlaw, Kristyn Harris, and Texas champion fiddle player Brook Wallace do is more fun than puttin' socks on a rooster.
+
MISS DEVON & THE OUTLAW are Devon Dawson and Jessie Robertson who formed their musical duo in 2007. Since then they have won many awards. Devon is a top entertainer in western music, known for her "vintage sock-rhythm guitar style, and warm 'swingtime cowgirl' vocals which bring to mind legendary B-western ladies of the silver screen. Jessie has a"fine tenor to baritone vocals" reminiscent of Tommy Duncan, lead singer with Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. He also plays a little saxophone and may drift off into a dozen alias personalities… better keep an eye on the rascal.
+
Their awards and honors together and individually are astonishing:
Western Music Association: 2014, 2013 Duo/Group of the Year; 2013 Trio/Group Harmony Award with Kristyn Harris; 2009, 2012, 2014 Duo/Group Harmony Award; Academy of Western Artists 2009 Female Performer of the Year (Devon); National Cowboy Hall of Fame: 2013 Wrangler Award for New Horizons; GRAMMY Award: Woody's Roundup, Riders in the Sky, based on Toy Story 2; Miss Devon received a Grammy certificate for singing two songs on the award-winning album as JESSIE, the Yodelin' Cowgirl.
+
Western Music Association: 2014 Female Performer of the Year, Youth Harmony Duo of the Year with Olivia Hobbs, 2013 Western Swing Album of the Year, 2012 Crescendo Award for Rising Star, Academy of Western Artists: 2013 Female Performer of the Year, Cowtown Society of Western Music: 2015 Rising Star of the Year Inductee.
+
KRISTYN HARRIS started playing music at age 14 and last fall, became the youngest performer to win the WMA Female Vocalist of the Year. Kristyn is "noted for her powerful vocals, solid rhythm guitar style, songwriting, yodeling, and captivating stage presence." She is joined by award-winning fiddle champ Brook Wallace.
+
BROOK WALLACE, award-winning fiddle champ, joins Kristyn on stage. Growing up as the eldest of 10 kids in a large family near Fort Worth, Texas, she holds the distinction of being the youngest person ever to win all three nationally-ranked junior old-time fiddling championships, held in the same year , and that was when she was barely 9 years old. This was not a false start or beginner’s luck, for Brook is a fiddlin’ phenom, a high octane performer who keeps a busy performance schedule, playing for top bands in just about every style her fiddle can imagine. Audiences quickly discover that she is downright irrepressible when digging into some western swing or letting loose on some fine old gypsy jazz tune. Lock ‘n load, git ‘er done - the girl can play.
+
Bob Stane says, “This is a rare opportunity to catch two acts in one for the same price. We are confident you'll enjoy this evening of wonderful Western music by four talented Texans.”
+
Tix. $20.

+
General tix sale begins Thu, June 25, at noon.
+
Based on the acclaimed memoir “One Train Later” by guitarist Andy Summers, “Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police” follows Summers' journey from his early days in the psychedelic '60s music scene when he played with THE ANIMALS to chance encounters with drummer STEWART COPELAND and bassist STING, which led to the formation of the Grammy-winning trio THE POLICE.
+
During the band's rise and its dissolution at the height of their popularity in the mid-’80s, Summers captured history with his candid photographs. Using rare archival footage and insights from the guitarist's side of the stage, “Can't Stand Losing You” brings together past and almost-present as the band members reunite, two decades later, for a global reunion tour in 2007. Following the film screening, Summers will participate in a panel discussion, moderated by Scott Goldman, Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation.

Tix, $20, available three ways: in person at the Museum Box Office; online at www.grammymuseum.org or at 213-765-6803. Tix are non-refundable and non-transferable.
