Here's a report from the CBGB Music and Film Festival 2013, so far...
+
The First Annual "CBGB ICON AWARD" was presented to Seymour Stein at the Bowery Hotel Tuesday night, Oct 8. Music industry luminaries from around the world came to NYC to toast Stein, founder of SIRE RECORDS, which was home to many of the artists that exploded out of CBGB’s.
+
There to salute the biggest fan of them all were Alan McGee, Lyor Cohen, Paul Shaffer, Lenny Kaye, Richard Gottehrer, Bebe Buell, Michael Anthony Alago, Matt Pinfield, Tommy Page, Tom Silverman, Danny Fields, John Holmstrom, Monte Melnick among others; as well as fans, friends, and family.
+
Several of Seymour's signature signings sent notes of congratulations including Depeche Mode, Ice T and k.d. lang. Lang’s note read in part:
+
"You are a special talent, and we thank you for loving and living music the way you do. Again, congrats!!!! And thank you for supporting me in my formative years. Love you." -- k.d. lang.
+
Madonna’s speech was read by Seymour's daughter, filmmaker Mandy Stein; excerpted below:
+
"The music world would not be the same without Seymour and his brilliance for discovering and nurturing talent. The man who brought us everyone from the Ramones to the Talking Heads to k.d.. lang to well... ME! For instance.
+
"Seymour believed in me when everyone else was closing the door in my face or writing me off as a one hit wonder. He had faith in me and and our first meeting took place when he was in bed in his underwear so I think we were off to a very good start. But seriously he has a brain like an encyclopedia and he can even tell you the color of the label of any 45 that ever existed!
+
"He has Golden Ears, A Golden Heart, And a beautiful Soul that is unique and rare.
+
"CBGB's is Iconic. Sire Records is Iconic.  Seymour Stein is not only Iconic but a true legend. Congratulations Seymour I wish I was here to hand it to you in person. Thank you for all that you have done for me and the world of Music!!!!! I love you!" -- Madonna.
+
Roger Friedman’s Showbiz 411 wrapped-up Tuesday night’s event, asbd returned for the "CBGB Movie Red Carpet Premiere" later in the evening. The premiere featured the film’s stars Alan Rickman (who played Hilly Kristal), Mickey Sumner (Patti Smith), Ashley Greene (Lisa Kristal), and Stana Katic, who was seen with her real-life counterpart Genya Ravan.

"Wow, what a show!" says Faye Mcd in her review of their show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. She continues, "After almost a full two hours, the band finally called it a night but I and the rest of the crowd would have happily and enthusiastically stayed for two more. I haven't had that much fun and pure joy at a concert in a long, long time. Their lyrics, musicianship, heart and spirit shined bright in every song. They rocked and wailed and then went soft and sweet and sometimes all in the same song. Don't know how you would categorize them... alternative country / folk / rock / bluegrass ...doesn't matter, they are a fantastic live act. The crowd response was wonderful -- singing along with almost every song. The brothers, Scott and Seth and the rest of the band seemed so appreciative of the welcome they were given. They had 2 back-to-back sold out shows in Nashville, so if you see them coming to your town, grab a ticket as fast as you can."

"At Home In the World" by Daniel Pearl will be read by Ross Altman.
+
Ross says, "On what would have been Daniel Pearl's 50th birthday (he was born October 10, 1963) we celebrate 'Harmony for Humanity,' an evening of music from many walks of life and national origins, from America to Egypt. In keeping with the mandate of 'Daniel Pearl World Music Days,' we feature an evening of music that highlights efforts to build bridges across divisions of misunderstanding, to create links on the chain of our common humanity, and to forge a peaceful world.
+
"The tragedy of Daniel Pearl's murder in Pakistan on February 1, 2002 carries that challenge into the 21st Century and makes even more vivid the human spirit that must prevail if we are to avoid the ultimate catastrophe of obliterating what Pearl eloquently described as 'My Favorite Planet,' an album adapted from his stories for the Wall Street Journal that carried him into the heart of darkness.
+
"As a light bringer, he remains a steadfast symbol of hope and courage in the face of evil. Daniel Pearl was a musician as well as a journalist and his violin -- like his pen -- will be remembered as mightier than the sword, for they have outlasted his shortened life.
+
"Join us for an evening of music, poetry and storytelling that welcomes a diverse audience of artists, veteran peace activists and organizers for social change to come together for an evening devoted to the ideal for which Daniel Pearl gave his life -- Harmony for Humanity."

Thu, Oct 10, in Malibu:
8 pm  ROGER McGUINN and MARTY STUART with THE FABULOUS SUPERLATIVES play the “President's Choice Series” at Pepperdine University Center for the Arts, in the Smothers Theatre, Pepperdine University 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu 90265; 310-506-4522.
+
Folk-rock music icon Roger McGuinn teams up with country music singer-songwriter Marty Stuart and his band,the Fabulous Superlatives, to perform such classics as "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Eight Miles High," and "Turn,Turn, Turn."
+
McGuinn and Stuart are an unbeatable combination, but for guitar fans the show offers even more. While it may not be a Byrds reunion,it's a reunion of sorts as McGuinn's signature 12-string Rickenbacker guitar blends again with Stuart's B-Bender guitar.
+
Stuart's well-known B-Bender started life as a 1954 Fender Telecaster and was the main electric "axe" of legendary country-rock pioneer Clarence White of The Byrds. White and multi-instrumentalist Gene Parsons fashioned a steel-guitar-inspired mechanism that raised the B string a whole step when downward pressure was applied on the strap and the string was "bent." White used the guitar almost exclusively until his untimely end in 1973; its distinctive sound is heard blending seamlessly with McGuinn's 12-string on many Byrds recordings.
+
After White's passing,the "Clarence White Tele" sat unused at his home in Kentucky until his widow,Suzy,contacted Stuart. "The guitar really found me," recalls Stuart. "Roland White, Clarence's brother,got me my gig with Lester Flatt,and I was friends with the family. The guitar already had a following of its own by that time -- I was always fascinated by it, lusted after it,and I'd even had a similar bender put in another guitar to try and duplicate the effect.
+
"I've never considered it my guitar,really. It's his,and now it kind of has a life of its own. The spring gets dry and squeaks,so I spray WD-40 on it now and then,but I've never cleaned it. All the dirt inside and behind the strings is the original dirt. We call it 'Clarence.'"
+
For many who hear the name Roger McGuinn, the first thing that comes to mind is that unmistakable Rickenbacker 12-string guitar. McGuinn has been associated with the guitar since his earliest days as a member of The Byrds. McGuinn has played other electric guitars over the years and is also known as an acoustic folk artist of considerable magnitude, but he still remains the undisputed "King of the Rick 12." When he started playing it, McGuinn couldn't have known that the 12-string Rickenbacker would become his signature sound.
+
"We went as a group to see A Hard Day's Night multiple times and were totally taken with The Beatles," says McGuinn. "I liked George Harrison's Rickenbacker 12,but I couldn't find one that looked like his with the pointy cutaways,so I bought the blonde 360 model. I thought it was beautiful, like a golden palomino,and the checkerboard binding reminded me of Gene Autry or Roy Rogers. I loved that guitar and played it eight hours a day. It was later stolen and I discovered that it was auctioned off in England for over $100,000. Given the statute of limitations and the difficulty in dealing with laws in a foreign country, there wasn't much I could do,even though I considered myself the legal and rightful owner."
+
The signature sound continued,however,and a new 12-string took that guitar's place. Now --so many years later -- two men ,two guitars, and a full band are making music together again.

Thu, Oct 10, in Los Angeles:
8 pm  JOHN FOGERTY launches his much-anticipated national concert tour with a concert tonight at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE.
+
EXTENDED FEATURE STORY...
+
Fogerty will be playing, live, his classic Creedence Clearwater Revival albums "Cosmo's Factory" and "Bayou Country" for the first time ever in the U.S., along with some of his other gems.
+
Meanwhile, the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles recently unveiled the exhibit “John Fogerty: Wrote A Song For Everyone.” It is on display through January 2014 and features artifacts from his personal collection, and it is named after his current album, "WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE," hailed by fans and critics alike including a rare 5-star lead review in Rolling Stone.
+
At the opening night of the exhibit, September 26, the pioneering and iconic singer, songwriter and guitarist was the subject of a compelling, in-depth Q&A conducted by GRAMMY Museum executive director Bob Santelli. Fogerty capped it off by performing a few songs, solo, as a surprise for the intimate, sold-out audience gathered in the Museum’s Clive Davis Theater.
+
More on the exhibition at the GRAMMY Museum at www.grammymuseum.org/on-display/special-exhibits/john-fogerty-wrote-a-song-for-everyone
+
You can watch a clip from “An Evening With John Fogerty” at the GRAMMY Museum where FOGERTY talks about getting sued in the landmark case, "Fantasy vs Fogerty," wherein Fantasy Records sued the artist, saying he plagiarized himself. In the clip, hear what it was like in the courtroom; John demonstrates what he had to go through to protect his -- and all other artists’ -- artistic freedom.
+
It's at:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=Gcq9_nu099w&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGcq9_nu099w%26feature%3Dyoutu.be
+
At the GRAMMY Museum just before the exhibit's opening, FOGERTY was interviewed by CNN’s Denise Quan. The reporter noted that the exhibit “unflinchingly chronicles the ups and downs of the singer-songwriter’s tumultuous four-decade career.”
+
The exhibit includes a copy of the infamous recording agreement from the Creedence Clearwater Revival era with Fantasy Records and the unbelievable-but-true lawsuit.
+
JOHN FOGERTY has been making music that continues to speak in a powerful way to generations of music makers and music lovers, and his fall tour will be a joyous celebration of HIS ICONIC SONGBOOK OF HITS.
+
JOHN FOGERTY’s tour dates—which include three nights at the Beacon Theater in NYC (November 12-14)--are here. Click here for what critics are saying about "WROTE A SONG FOR EVERYONE," which marks FOGERTY’s ninth studio solo album since disbanding Creedence Clearwater Revival.
+
People are still talking about FOGERTY’s special performance on September 14 with Mumford & Sons at their “Gentlemen of the Road" show.
+
John Fogerty -- singer, songwriter and guitarist -- is a roots-Americana-rock music legend who has sold over 100 million records, earning 18 Gold Albums and 10 Platinum Albums. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, won the Grammy Award for his album "Blue Moon Swamp" in 1997, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005. He is also a BMI Icon Award Winner.
+
In addition, Fogerty and his #1 phenomenal recording “Centerfield” were honored during the 2010 National Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies -- the first time the National Baseball Hall of Fame has immortalized a musician or song as part of the annual ceremonies. And in some circles, he’s also called the “Father of the Flannel Shirt.”

"Close your eyes and you're back in the 60's," wrote one reviewer at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville. He continues, "The Rascals music was played to perfection. The show with narration of the groups former beginnings caused me to become misty eyed. I couldn't sit still. Unfortunately, they played to a crowd of brain dead octogenarians, who insisted i stay seated for most of the concert. The average age of the audience was most likely 60 + but they acted like they had no memory of their youth. I've been to over 1/2 dozen concerts this summer including; Stones, Aerosmith, War, Foreigner, Sting, Beyonce..The Rascals was my favorite. If you had a radio in the mid-sixties early 70's and cruised on Summer nights you will Love this Show! I'm looking forward to seeing them Again!"
