SUMMARY:Kevin Krauter presented by Winspear\, LUNA music and Tube Factory
DESCRIPTION:Useful Solitude. That’s the phrase Kevin Krauter uses to describe Toss Up\, his upcoming full-length debut on Bayonet Records—both the conditions in which it was created and the prevailing theme of these nine iridescent indie-pop songs. In between tours\, the Indiana musician spent long hours in his basement\, guitars and vintage keyboards his only company\, and tested out ideas\, explored new sonic avenues\, savored new sounds\, and taught himself how to play a few instruments. \n“I would wake up and have a cup of coffee\, then I’d come up with a song or a melody and just sit and play it literally for three or four hours straight. Then I’d try to find new ways to play it\, or do it with different notes or on different instruments. I don’t want to call it meditating\, but it was pretty meditative to sit there by myself and play the same thing over and over and over and over.” The riffs and melodies became mantras\, repeated back to himself until they became the rhythmically intricate\, melodically bold\, and emotionally complex songs on Toss Up. An insightful songwriter with a lyrical style that is both economical and evocative\, Krauter crafts unique soundscapes that scramble a range of influences: ‘60s flower pop\, ‘70s easy listening\, ‘80s New Wave\, ‘90s alt-radio\, ’00s indie rock. \nA gentle melancholy pervades the album\, but it’s far too imaginative to sound morose or mopey. “You’re singing all alone and you’re dancing all alone\,” he sings on “Who Do You Know\,” as the guitars crackle and the synths fizz around him. As Toss Up proceeds\, Krauter fills the songs with more and more people: a lover in the unabashedly sweet “Keep Falling in Love;” a friend in the album-closing title track who becomes an audience of one. Music becomes the bond between Krauter and the world: “Take my hand ‘cause we’re really alone in this world\,” he sings on “Toss Up\,” but adds a poignant promise: “I can carry you home.” \nBest known as one of several guitar players\, songwriters\, and vocalists in the Hoosier indie-rock band Hoops\, Krauter has been making music all by his lonesome for much longer. He grew up in a family heavily involved in local musical theater\, even appearing in three productions of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He played in high school bands\, but didn’t get serious about writing and recording until he enrolled at Ball State in Muncie\, Indiana. His first efforts — recorded in his dorm room — weren’t intended for any kind of audience\, but a friend asked him to record a few tracks for a class project. Eventually those sessions became 2015’s Magnolia EP\, a short collection of gentle\, gauzy songs that reveal his early obsession with one of his first musical heroes\, Vashti Bunyan. \nIt was his first taste of the music business\, and the experience left a huge impression. “I’d never put any music out under my name. I’d never put out a tape before. It all came together quickly.” Krauter began recording and releasing music prolifically\, first with Hoops and then on his own. The ChangesEP\, released in late 2016\, showcases his deft guitar playing\, mixing soul-baring songwriting with bossa nova rhythms and intimately lo-fi production. It was supposed to be a low-key release\, but Changes became a word-of-mouth hit that amassed a small but avid cult behind it. “I didn’t think it was going to make any huge waves for me\, but a lot of people told me they were still listening to it a year or more later. They were living with it\, and I thought that was cool.” \nThose first two EPs were mostly acoustic\, just Krauter\, his guitar\, and occasionally a brushed snare drum or a textural electric guitar. “I was cool with it for a while\, but I wanted to make something that sounded a little more pop.” Recorded at Russian Recording in Bloomington\, Indiana\, Toss Up builds on the sonic worlds of his first releases\, conveying a similar mood with a greater array of instruments and influences. Still\, he worked with what he had around him. “I found this old two-stack organ at Goodwill and set it up on top of an old Yamaha teach-yourself keyboard that my mom had. I was playing those over and over.” \nYou can hear those vintage keyboards merging on “Keep Falling in Love\,” which recalls R&B organist Timmy Thomas and West Coast marina pop artists Ned Doheny while showing off Krauter’s strong falsetto. “Rollerskate” audaciously marries a hypnotic keyboard theme to a loping drumbeat based on a popular ‘90s alt-rock hit. “I had been working on that guitar part and it sounded like another pretty folk song\, so I thought\, What if I put this weird funky beat on top of it? Most of these songs are very groove heavy.” \nThat is the secret tension on Toss Up\, the engine that drives these songs: melody propelled by rhythm\, melancholy fended off by the exuberance of simply creating art. “A lot of the songs are about solitude in a very healthy sense\, about trying to make it something useful and productive. It was good to center myself in that experience. I was able to get to a place where I was not afraid to be really stoked by what I was doing.” Or\, as he declares on “Lonely Boogie”: “I’m all alone and I’m having a good time.” \n–Words by Stephen Deusner \n\nTickets on-sale now: https://ticketf.ly/2HCX5fj \nAll Ages

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT Presents Chuck Mead & His Grassy Knoll Boys
DESCRIPTION:For the past twenty years\, Chuck Mead has been at the forefront of what has come to be known as Americana Music. Raised in Lawrence\, Kansas\, Chuck has been a professional musician since the age of 13 playing in his parents country band and then leading several roots rock outfits in the midwest most notably the Homestead Grays. He landed on Nashville’s Lower Broadway in 1993 where he co-founded the famed ‘90s Alternative Country quintet BR5-49. The band’s seven albums\, three Grammy nominations and the Country Music Association Award for Best Overseas Touring Act of 1997 built an indelible bridge between authentic American Roots music and millions of fans worldwide. Chuck has also co-produced popular tribute albums to Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings\, guest-lectured at Vanderbilt University\, and became a staff writer at one of Nashville’s top song publishers. In 2008\, he was the Musical Director/Supervisor for the Broadway/West End musical Million Dollar Quartet (which broke the record in Chicago for the longest-running musical) and acted in the same capacity for the CMT television show Sun Records producing all the re-recordings of classic rock n roll\, country\, and blues. He has released three solo works starting in 2009 with his acclaimed solo debut album\, Journeyman’s Wager on the Grassy Knoll Records label\, and continues tour clubs\, concert halls and international Rock\, Country and Rockabilly festivals with his band The Grassy Knoll Boys. \nChuck’s acclaimed 2012 release\, Back At The Quonset Hut(Ramseur Records)\, was recorded at Nashville’s legendary Quonset Hut Studio where Patsy Cline\, George Jones\, Merle Haggard Roger Miller\, Loretta Lynn\, Johnny Cash and more cut some of country music’s greatest tracks. Produced by original BR549 producer Mike Janas and with the participation of students from Belmont University’s College of Entertainment and Music Business\, the album of classic covers features surviving members of Music Row’s original ‘A-Team’ studio musicians Bob Moore\, Harold Bradley\, Hargus “Pig” Robbins\, and Buddy Spicher as well as guest appearances by Old Crow Medicine Show\, Elizabeth Cook\, Jamie Johnson and Bobby Bare. \n2014 ushered in Free State Serenade\, on Nashville-based Plowboy Records. Produced by long-time ally and friend Joe Pisapia (KD Lang\, Ben Folds Five) and featuring BR5-49’s Don Herron\, and Old Crow Medicine Show’s Critter Fuqua\, Free State Serenade is Chuck Mead’s love letter to his home state of Kansas. \nChuck is currently working up new material for a 2018 record release and still oversees two Million Dollar Quartet productions and is developing some new theatrical stage shows. \n21+

From these subtleties\, expansive meditative soundscapes are created. Similarly\, the visual component examines elements of found forms\, whether in filmed objects or light itself. This sense of architectural abstraction functions to liberate natural aesthetic beauty from associative identity. \n\nBiographies \nBrian Chase is a drummer and composer living in Brooklyn. His diverse range of work/play includes that with rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs\, the community of the New York improvised/experimental music scene\, and Drums & Drones\, an electro-acoustic project focusing on the application of just intonation to drums and percussion. Performances have taken him across the world\, and he appears on many recordings spanning a broad spectrum of styles. In addition to the drums\, Brian is a regular practitioner of Ashtanga yoga. chasebrian.com and chaikinrecords.com  \nThe poetic quality of Ursula Scherrer’s work reminds one of moving paintings\, drawing the viewer into the images\, leaving them with their own stories. She transforms spaces and landscapes into serene\, abstract portraits of rhythm\, color and light – inner landscapes in the outside world where the images and actions have less to do with what we see then with the feeling they leave behind. Scherrer is a Swiss artist living in New York. Her work and collaboration with composers\, choreographers\, stage directors\, light artists and poets has been shown in festivals\, galleries and museums internationally.

SUMMARY:Taking Israel
DESCRIPTION:Big Car Collaborative will present a screening and discussion of the award winning documentary TAKING ISRAEL. The 55 minute film recounts the experiences of African-American students who went to Israel over a fifteen year period -1988-2002.  The students from Wilberforce University in Ohio spent summers in Israel working at Kibbutz Ramat Menashe\, conducting an English summer fun camp ( Kafiada) in the TelAviv suburb  Holon and taking classes at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.  The students also spent time at the Givat Haviva Center of Peace interacting with Israeli Arabs and Palestinians.  Dr Eric Winston retired Vice President at Wilberforce University and Kelly Brewer a former program participant will lead a discussion after the film.  \n\nThe film’s focus is the cultural interactions between the students and the Israeli’s with whom they came in contact.  I addition to cultural understanding the film allowed the students to observe the educational\, social and political environment of Israel as African Americans.  The program was the outgrowth of a suggestion by Dr Stanley Borenstein\, a former Wilberforce Professor who suggested that the University create the “exchange” program as way for the students to satisfy an academic requirement. \nThe documentary was funded in part by the Efroymson Foundation of Indianapolis and Gofundme. \n\nDr Eric Winston is a retired Vice President at Wilberforce University and Kelly Brewer a former program participant will lead a discussion after the conclusion. \nTaking Israel was produced by Dr. Winston and Directed by Vincent Singleton and has won three awards–Best Documentary at the San Diego Black Film Festival and the Best Documentary and Best Director at the Action on Film Festival\, Monrovia\,CA.

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT's Rhinestone Country Presents Alex Williams
DESCRIPTION:Alex Williams is a part of a neo-traditionalist country music that surfaced in the wake of Jamey Johnson‘s success in the early 2010s. Like Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson\, Williamsuses the outlaw country of the ’70s as a primary text\, finding his own voice within the music of Nashville renegades like Waylon Jennings and Texas mavericks like Jerry Jeff Walker — a skill that’s apparent on his 2017 debut Better Than Myself. \nA native of Pendleton\, Indiana\, Williams grew up listening to ’80s metal\, eventually gravitating toward classic country when he was in his late teens. He enrolled in Nashville’s Belmont University after graduating from high school\, but he soon dropped out of college and began gigging in the Music City\, sometimes drifting back to his home state of Indiana\, sometimes getting down to Texas. Williams wound up leading his own band and their constant gigging brought them to the attention of Julian Raymond\, a producer who also worked A&R at Big Machine Records. He signed Williams separately from the band\, taking him into the studio with a star-studded backing band that included J.T. Corenflos\, Matt Rollings\, and Victor Indrizzo to record his debut album. The resulting Better Than Myself was released in August 2017. (source: allmusic.com- written by Stephen Thomas Erlewine)

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT's Rhinestone Country Presents Mike & The Moonpies
DESCRIPTION:On-stage and on record\, Austin’s Mike and the Moonpies keep the torch of Texas country burning. Whether it’s a hardcore two-step\, freewheeling Western swing\, Doug Sahm‘s Cosmic American Music\, or George Strait‘s sweet\, burnished ballads\, Mike and the Moonpies tap into the traditions of the Lone Star State\, yet their music feels nimble and fresh thanks to their deft interplay and sly touch. \nA nascent version of Mike and the Moonpies premiered in 2008\, with guitarist Catlin Rutherford leading a variety of musicians through a Monday night residency at the Hole in the Wall\, a dive on the University of Texas drag. Toward 2010\, the band solidified around Rutherford\, vocalist Mike Harmeier\, steel guitarist Zach Moulton\, drummer Kyle Ponder\, and bassist Preston Rhone\, with this lineup releasing the independent The Real Country that year. Pianist John Carbone joined in 2011 and the band claimed the East Side venue the White Horse as its new Austin haunt. The following year found the band releasing its second album\, The Hard Way. \nAfter the release of The Hard Way\, Mike and the Moonpiescontinued to tour regularly\, expanding to the rest of Texas. The group’s third album\, 2015’s Mockingbird\, began to earn the group attention outside of Texas. After delivering a double live album called Live at WinStar World Casino & Resort in 2016\, the group returned in early 2018 with its fourth studio album\, Steak Night at the Prairie Rose.

SUMMARY:The Immigrant Yarn Project-KnitNight
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to be part of a nation-wide community art project? \nHundreds of artist / knitter / activists from around the country are collaborating in a single\, magnificent gesture of unity\, solidarity\, and yarn-based creativity in a celebration of our nation’s glorious diversity. Organized nationally by Enactivist\, a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3)\, the project is brought to Indianapolis by Mary Jo Bayliss. There is no cost at all to be part of this project and it is a purely democratic (by the people) and colossal work of public art\, representing a cross section of the American experience. We think it’s time to rise above division and come together to celebrate what we all have in common – citizenry in a nation composed of diverse backgrounds\, families\, politics\, faiths\, identities and ideas. \nCountless small squares and pieces have come into the studio\, and more knitted by immigrants and their descendants arrive everyday. From high schools to retirement centers\, from California to Maine\, we have collected these works of art\, representing a personal or familial story. The pieces are compiled\, sewn together and fashioned into over 100 sculptural columns\, in a single colossal work of yarn-based art. First displayed at Fort Point National Historic Site\, at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in May 2019\, and then in locations throughout the USA\, the Immigrant Yarn Project will provide a testament to the creative spirit of our shared immigrant heritage. It is a celebration of our national gestalt\, where the whole is different and as magnificent as the sum of its parts. \nSee https://enactivist.org/ to learn more about the organization behind this nationwide public art project.
