Monday Music Betwixt Monsoons; plus a WEB show for MUSICIANS; Tix Alerts, & more, Dec 15 2014

.
.
Last night’s “Mighty Met KMET Acoustic Flashback” benefit for Paraquat Kelley was filled with love, nostalgia, top-flight musicianship, and a look at what might have been in radioland had Metromedia not been bought by new owners who assassinated the institution of free-form radio.

Patrick “Paraquat” Kelley still has his wicked sense of humor, and he and his delightful longtime spouse Melody Rogers both have positive outlooks that are humbling to the rest of us. Pat is dealing with Multiple Sclerosis, and the benefit – which drew major stars to the stage – was held to raise needed funds to pay his crushing medical bills.

The evening began about 7:50 pm and ran past midnight. The spirit of “Whoo-ya” reigned supreme once again, after former KMET dj Jeff Gonzer proclaimed the meeting of the “Immoral Minority” open, adding, “You realize, I haven’t said that since Reagan was president?!”

More tales will be shared in upcoming editions.

Monday music awaits. Let’s get started.

The GRAMMY Museum presents “THE TAYLOR SWIFT EXPERIENCE” as their newest special exhibition, opening Dec 13th on her 25th birthday. Includes never-before-seen photographs and home videos, interactive experiences, hand-written lyrics from her top-charting hits, and iconic costumes, to give visitors an in-depth look at seven-time GRAMMY winner Taylor Swift as a singer, musician, songwriter, entrepreneur and style icon. She is the only artist in history to have three million-selling weeks (2010's “Speak Now,” 2012's “RED” and 2014's “1989”). She is a global superstar and the youngest winner in history of the music industry's highest honor, the GRAMMY Award for “Album of the Year.” She is the first artist since the BEATLES (and the only female artist in history) to log six or more weeks at #1 in the U.S. with three consecutive studio albums. Taylor Swift has an album on Rolling Stone's prestigious “The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time (by women)” list, and Time magazine has named her one the of the “100 Most Influential People in the world,” while she is Billboard's youngest-ever “Woman of the Year” and the only artist to have been awarded this honor twice. The Taylor Swift Experience is on display in the GRAMMY Museum's “Special Exhibits Gallery,” where temporary exhibits are showcased on a rotating basis.

This traveling exhibition pairs, for the first time, approximately 150 works by American pho-tographers Paul Caponigro (b. 1932) and Bruce Davidson (b. 1933), enlightened observers of Britain and Ireland in the 1960s and ’70s. For Caponigro, Ireland and Britain became sites of creative energy to which he returned repeatedly. Davidson brought the same gritty street sensibility that had made his Brooklyn Gang series a sensation among photograph collectors. The exhibition examines the artistic, social, and historical forces informing two master pho-tographers as they bring American eyes to enduring landscapes and changing cultural scenes.
+
Runs Nov 8, 2014, through Mar 9, 2015.

Belinda Gail’s latest CD, "Granite Mountain," was awarded the 2014 “Western Album of The Year” by the Western Music Association. A multiple award winning singer-songwriter and performer, Belinda Gail brings an evening of original and classic Western music, a holiday tune or two, and songs from her new CD, "Granite Mountain." Belinda was raised on ranches in Nevada’s Carson Valley and in the California Sierra Nevada foothills near Sequoia National Park. Her rich ranching heritage and love of the West runs deep in her music and evokes the character of the people as well as the beauty, majesty, and deep connection to the land that only those who have lived the ranch life can truly capture. Along with being a gifted singer-songwriter, her singing voice and warm and vibrant personality beautifully capture the “Spirit of the West” and easily wraps itself around her audience. Belinda Gail is one of the most sought-after women performing Western music today, earning the oft-bestowed title, “America’s Western Sweetheart.” Dress up; SCVTV will film, and you may be on TV.

“Red Beard” is set in a public hospital serving the indigent in rural, feudal Japan. The 1965 film asks profound humanist and existential questions relating to social injustice. Is there a way out of the dispiriting cycle in which victims express their pain by hurting others? How can we break cycles of suffering and violence? “Red Beard” is the last black-and-white film by Kurosawa, and the last Kurosawa film starring legendary Japanese actor TOSHIRO MIFUNE.
+
The screening is presented in conjunction with a live stage performance the FOLLOWING NIGHT by LOS ANGELES POVERTY DEPARTMENT (“LAPD”), the renowned theatre troupe made up of homeless and formerly homeless artists, with the theatre company celebrating its own 30th anniversary.

If the phrase "male a cappella group" conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses ... think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase, numerous national TV appearances and proven success with CD releases. They're performing on the heels of the release of Under The Influence, their fourth album release through Atlantic Records. The album features contributions from superstars Jason Mraz, Rob Thomas, Phil Collins, Dolly Parton and more! Straight No Chaser is the real deal, the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense ... and with a sense of humor. On the road, Straight No Chaser has built a reputation as an unforgettable live act.
