+
* Sun, Aug 11, in San Pedro:

+
Venue has complimentary coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and "Alvas" bottled water. You are invited to bring your own food & drinks (there are take-out possibilities nearby.)
+
“Pedal steel orchestra” isn't exactly a phrase you’ve hear very often. Yet, multi-Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer recognized the limitless potential of harnessing the evocative nature of multiple pedal steels to enhance the score of the recently released film, “Man of Steel.” For the project, Mr. Zimmer brought together some of the pedal-steel-world’s finest players at Warner Bros. Eastwood Scoring Stage for a series of recordings that make his latest film score absolutely unique.
+
In celebration of the release of the new Superman movie, the album and the live show, “Men of Steel Guitar,” features the musicians who appeared on the “Man of Steel” score as well as a few talented guests.
+
But this is not a performance of the score. Instead, it is a showcase of the genre-bending nature of the pedal steel as performed by some of the instrument’s most noted players.
+
Taking the stage for this performance are:
♪ JayDee Maness
♪ Marty Rifkin
♪ Skip Edwards
♪ Doug Livingston
♪ Bob “Boo” Bernstein
♪ Chas Smith
♪ Rick Schmidt
♪ John McClung
♪ Peter Freiberger
+
Over the last 40 years, these musicians have recorded and/or appeared with a virtual “who’s who” of popular artists, including Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakam, Ray Charles, Glenn Frey, Etta James, Steven Stills, Jose Feliciano, Chuck Berry, Diana Ross, Joe Walsh, George Strait, Freddy Fender, Juanes, Jenni Rivera, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Diamond, Jewel, Glen Campbell, Riders of the Purple Sage, and many others.
+
The “Men of Steel Guitar” show features each of the steel guitarists doing a solo set, as well as a group performance. The repertoire will span a wide range of musical genres including blues, jazz, country, Latin, and classical.
+
It should be obvious that this is a rare opportunity to see and hear this talented group of accomplished players all in one place.
+

On this date in history:

• One year ago, NASA's Mars Curiosity, the largest and most sophisticated robotic rover ever sent to the surface of another world, completed its "eight minutes of terror" atmospheric plunge and landing on the Red Planet. Nominally a two-year mission, it has already achieved its prime goal and determined that yes, Mars did, indeed, once have lakes and oceans of liquid water, and conditions that would have favored the development of life.

• On this date in 1945, the crew of the B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped a single bomb, code named "Little Boy." It was the first atomic bomb used in warfare, and it instantly turned people on the ground and the city of Hiroshima into a fireball hotter than the sun. Altogether, 140,000 people would die from the detonation -- the nuclear chain-reaction-- of that one bomb. It would take a second atomic bomb, dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, to finally compel the Japanese Empire to surrender and bring an end to World War II, the deadliest, most horrific six years in human history. Have we learned anything in the sixty-eight years since?

+
They'll tell you that throughout history, music has been an important form of communication. Early bards traveled from place to place, singing the news of the times, and keeping tales of heroism and adventure alive. In U.S. history, songs sung on the plantations would let African slaves know when and how to run for freedom. In more modern times, songs have been used to raise social consciousness to the issues of the day. "We Shall Overcome" became the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Pete Seeger's "Where Have all the Flowers Gone" and Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" were sung by a generation in reaction to an unpopular war. Woody Guthrie's "This Land is your Land" was a response to the fencing-off of the West (and more).
+
The intent was not "political" in the sense of one party or the other, but a deeper yearning for justice and "right" in a world gone astray. This is the tradition followed by Ranchers For Peace, father-daughter duo Charles and Ray Duncan, from Cambria.
+
Everywhere they have played, including a recent concert in Bakersfield, they have garnered rave reviews for their songs and their entwined vocal and instrumental harmonies that use melodica, harmonica and guitar. Despite their name, they are not involved in the livestock business. In their words, their kind of ranching is done "where worldly concerns combine with empathy and, on a good day, become audible."
+
The "peace" they are "for" is not something that can be directly invoked, they say, but is a by-product that only arises in the presence of other favorable conditions and qualities, such as justice. "Our mission," say these Ranchers For Peace, "is to advocate for such conditions, and to join our noise with the long tradition of folksingers, bards, and troubadours who have done the same." They sing of the great issues facing us today, of immigration, racial tensions, pollution and the excesses of the corporate culture. But their overall message is simply that "it's cool to care."
+
Charles, a former TV writer, grew up in the 1960s when "music was part of the conversation" about civil rights, the Vietnam War and other social issues of the day.
+
Seventeen-year-old Ray doesn't think it's cool to be detached -- too "chill," in her words -- and she welcomes a chance to demonstrate that a little catharsis is good for the soul, and good for society. "We think and we feel, and often both at the same time. And plenty of people seem to be inclined to join us for the ride," she says.
+
The concert begins at 7; doors at 6:30 pm.
+
Tix, $20, coffee and goodies included.

+
West My Friend's full-length album “Place” brought them multiple award nominations, including "Roots Album of the Year" and "Song of the Year" at the Vancouver Island Music Awards.
+
Described as everything from indie-roots to chamber-folk, indie-roots quartet, this is an acoustic blend of instruments and four-part vocal harmonies to challenge the conventions of popular music and create a musical balancing act of daring, engaging and innovative music.
+
Their songs are born through a collaborative process that aims for well-crafted and clever lyrics, acrobatic mandolin riffs, solid bass lines, and richly textured accordion tones. Their goal is to blend and contrast these elements as every member incorporates individual training in the songsmithing backdrop. They strive for detail, intricacy, and counterpoint balanced with moments of tasteful simplicity.
+
"A sonically adventurous approach to music identifies West My Friend as a key part of a growing musical revolution. A movement of the new generation of grass-roots folk music taking place in Victoria, Vancouver and across British Columbia, WEST MY FRIEND is a driving force pioneering 'A Musical Wildfire In The Snow.'" -- Bob Stane.

+
Join Theatre Americana for a boot kicking, rip roaring country western show at The Coffee Gallery Backstage
+
It promises to be an evening of Western Music, home grown, to benefit western dogs who need homes and some TLC. Venue impresario Bib Stane says, "A nifty opportunity to meet other dog lovers, have a bull riding Saturday Night On The Town (no you may not shoot out the lights but you may switch off the electric candles). Be social, be doggie friendly and enhance your K9 karma." Bob adds, "it is better to give to a dog, than receive as a dog.  I think that relates to those delicious canned dinners. Identify with those who are doomed to have hair in all those places and never have opposable thumbs. If you can't attend, reach down and scratch your pooch at the base of its tail. Oh, s-o-o-o good. Do it again. More, don’t stop. Oh, yes, yes, yes."

(And we thought Bob was a cat person.)

Sun, Aug 11, in San Pedro:
2 & 6 pm SUPERMAN'S MEN OF STEEL (GUITAR), a "pedal steel orchestra," plays two shows at Alva's Showroom, 1417 W 8th St, San Pedro 90732; 800-403-3447 for reservations.
+
Venue has complimentary coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and "Alvas" bottled water. You are invited to bring your own food & drinks (there are take-out possibilities nearby.)
+
“Pedal steel orchestra” isn't exactly a phrase you’ve hear very often. Yet, multi-Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer recognized the limitless potential of harnessing the evocative nature of multiple pedal steels to enhance the score of the recently released film, “Man of Steel.” For the project, Mr. Zimmer brought together some of the pedal-steel-world’s finest players at Warner Bros. Eastwood Scoring Stage for a series of recordings that make his latest film score absolutely unique.
+
In celebration of the release of the new Superman movie, the album and the live show, “Men of Steel Guitar,” features the musicians who appeared on the “Man of Steel” score as well as a few talented guests.
+
But this is not a performance of the score. Instead, it is a showcase of the genre-bending nature of the pedal steel as performed by some of the instrument’s most noted players.
+
Taking the stage for this performance are:
♪ JayDee Maness
♪ Marty Rifkin
♪ Skip Edwards
♪ Doug Livingston
♪ Bob “Boo” Bernstein
♪ Chas Smith
♪ Rick Schmidt
♪ John McClung
♪ Peter Freiberger
+
Over the last 40 years, these musicians have recorded and/or appeared with a virtual “who’s who” of popular artists, including Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakam, Ray Charles, Glenn Frey, Etta James, Steven Stills, Jose Feliciano, Chuck Berry, Diana Ross, Joe Walsh, George Strait, Freddy Fender, Juanes, Jenni Rivera, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Diamond, Jewel, Glen Campbell, Riders of the Purple Sage, and many others.
+
The “Men of Steel Guitar” show features each of the steel guitarists doing a solo set, as well as a group performance. The repertoire will span a wide range of musical genres including blues, jazz, country, Latin, and classical.
+
It should be obvious that this is a rare opportunity to see and hear this talented group of accomplished players all in one place.

Sun, Aug 11, in Altadena:
3 & 7 pm  "JIM CURRY'S TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF JOHN DENVER," a solid favorite at the venue, returns to The Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena; Reservations (by phone, only, 10 am-10 pm) 626-798-6236.
+
Husband and wife team Jim and Anne Curry deliver the multi-platinum hits of the great John Denver in a fun-filled performance of singing and stories. Jim plays the guitar and sings John's songs in a crystal clear tenor that has made him a favorite with Alaska cruise ship audiences.
+
Anne, his wife and musical partner, plays guitar and mandolin and sings harmony in all the right places.
+
You'll be invited to sing along, share in the memories, learn new songs and howl at the moon (literally).
+
Tribute artist Jim Curry, who's voice was heard in the CBS-TV movie "Take Me Home: The John Denver Story," has performed Denver's music in sold-out shows throughout the country and has emerged as today's top performer of Denver's vast legacy of multi-platinum hits. Jim's uncanny ability to mirror John's voice and clean-cut look takes you back to the time when "Rocky Mountain High" "Sunshine" "Calypso" and "Annie's Song" topped the charts, and his popular music had the heartfelt message of caring for the earth and caring for each other. Denver's message is worth repeating: "Be kind to the Earth and to each other."
+
Don't worry, you already know the words to the songs. Two shows.

Sun, Aug 18, in Santa Monica:
8 pm  I SEE HAWKS IN L.A. play their CD RELEASE show, plus the DAVE GLEASON TRIO is the co-bill, at McCabe's, 3101 Pico Bl, Santa Monica; www.mccabes.com
+
I SEE HAWKS IN L.A.'s 7th CD, "Mystery Drug," officially drops on August 20. So this CD release show gives those in attendance a two-day jump to buy it at the show.
+
The following is a compilation of comments on pre-release copies of the album, from lots of material released to the media. (We are not interested in plagiarizing from others' comments, and we do include our own here; but we freely use from all we agree with from what was given us by the Hawks. We choose this move for expediency, because it should give our readers an earlier opportunity to decide if they want to make reservations for the show. If you wait for our review of the new record, that would be awhile.)
+
The new album, on Western Seeds Records (in the US) comes on the heels of the Hawks' latest successful tour of continental Europe and the UK, and the album's overseas release on Blue Rose Records.
+
I See Hawks In L.A. can be, and had been, variously described as part acoustic nu-folk, part psychedelic country acoustic-and-electric rockers, and as all-Americana. This latest album represents a gathering of their longtime musical tribe with stellar guest contributions from some of California’s finest roots country musicians. The album has already been acclaimed by critics, one ststing it "breathes with a new life that will both refresh and challenge long time fans."
+
Hawks listeners will be struck by the chances taken in this latest phase of the band's journey — mixing the serious country cred of the band's members, who have played with Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris, John Denver, Hazel and Alice, "and in every honky-tonk from Mississippi to Malibu" — with wild lyricism and surreal story telling. 
+
Audra Schroeder of the Austin Chronicle calls the Hawks, "Americana, traversing the landscape of the Golden State like Didion on horseback. It's a divine fusion of humor and twang that's definitely high, but not that lonesome."
+
This album, "Mystery Drug," burrows deeper down the white rabbit hole. Layered with the electric swagger and sweetness of 1950's rock n roll, songs like "If You Remind Me," "Yesterday's Coffee," and even public service announcement "Stop Driving Like an A**hole," carry the innocent melodies of a different time. Indeed, the whole of "Mystery Drug" carries a lightness in sharp relief to the dark contemplations of last year's all-acoustic "New Kind of Lonely." 
+
Are the Hawks more optimistic these days?  Maybe, or maybe it's just the opposite and they have let go of all the false expectations of genre, or for that matter, career.  There's a freedom here. A weightlessness. Floating on soft beds of reverb and pedal steel, a gentle and rowdy warmth surrounds the entire work, particularly on dreamlike "The River Knows," the final song of the record and perhaps its strongest and most hopeful statement.
+
"Mystery Drug" cuts a wide swath of post-Gram Parsons California country music: a sardonic / tragic cowpunk essay on commerce-as-love, titled "My Local Merchants"; a haunted accordion theme on a desert marriage ritual, in "One Drop Of Human Blood"; and folk rockers on the vanishing of spirits and aquifers of the American West, in "Sky Island," and "Oklahoma's Going Dry".
+
Musical guests include pedal steelers Rick Shea (Dave Alvin, Wanda Jackson) and Pete Grant (Grateful Dead, The Dillards, Rodney Crowell).  There's honky-tonk and slide guitar, a Celtic 6/8 on "Death and Ancestry," three memorable love ballads, the signature Hawks' harmonies, and lots of cosmic acousticism. All that combines to make "Mystery Drug" a complex and varied voyage, full of wit and surprises.
+
I See Hawks In L.A. were founded in 1999 by Minnesotan turned Echo Park dweller Rob Waller and Cal natives Paul and Anthony Lacques. The band has been declared “the city’s premier roots band” by the Los Angeles Times andthe their music “trance-inducing, the stories transfixing, the vibe completely Californian,” by No Depression.
+
Hawks records have always mixed traditional bar room musings with tales rooted in geography, as in their treatments of the mating dances of whales, the life of Senator Byrd from West Virginia, a Humboldt pot grower’s flight to Tibet, boom-and-bust in guitarist Lacques’s Mojave desert homeland, wandering hippie caravans, and the imminent collapse of suburban Houston.  In 2002, the Hawks were decidedly ahead of the curve in condemning the Bush administration’s drums of war.
+
Despite this out-on-a-limb perch, I See Hawks In L.A. have been embraced by legends of contemporary country, requested as an opener by Lucinda Williams and Chris Hillman (who plays on ‘06’s album, "California Country," hitting the Americana Charts, #2 on XM radio’s alt country, and with three #1’s on the "Freeform American Roots Chart."  They’ve toured the U.S. many times, and just completed their fourth return to continental Europe and the UK, May 22-July 8.
+
You might catch the Hawks at outdoor "Hempfest" and "Belladrum Fest" in Scotland, at Joe’s Pub in NYC, Old Town School Of Folk Music in Chicago, House Of Blues and McCabes in L.A., or on the main stage at the Folk Alliance in Memphis.  From acoustic folk to raging big stage country rock psychedelia, the Hawks choose it all.
