First Friday band likes pop, rock, ‘unexpected elements’

By 1 Comment

When Greg Bell plays a show with his band, Blind Karma, he goes for impact.

“My first job is to do something that will astound my band mates to break that ice on stage,” he says. “Then we can address the audience as a unit.”

From Bell’s description of the band’s performances, it is clear it set out to entertain, no matter the cost.

“I don’t mind looking foolish if that opens the door to get the audience involved,” he says. “Generally, if I see someone shoe gazing, I will do something so ridiculous they can’t shoe-gaze anymore.”

Audiences can expect this outgoing presentation when Blind Karma performs at the Aug. 5 First Friday @ 5 summer concert at the RiverScape MetroPark pavilion .

Formed in 2008, Blind Karma is a trio of Daytonians who bring crowds to its feet with a variety of cover songs from as early as the 1960s. Bell says the band likes to play rock and pop music, but also tries to include unexpected elements in their concerts.

Although the band has original material, they are currently only playing covers. They pull their material from a variety of decades as to find something that appeals to everyone in the audience.

“I’m always hoping for that little extra something to remind the audience how special that song, that time period was,” Bell says.

Off the long list of songs on Blind Karma’s setlist, Bell declines to list a favorite to play live (“That’s like asking me to choose amongst my children!”) but admits “Time” by Pink Floyd is especially meaningful to him.

“It’s one of the most beautiful, moving songs,” he says. “I want to do it justice and play it with conviction. It has the potential to be an emotionally charged song.”

As far as venues go, Bell looks forward to playing in Dayton for a variety of reasons: playing downtown at RiverScape MetroPark, working with sound engineer Monika Shroyer and participating in a community event, such as First Friday.

Bell recognizes Dayton as a grounded place to perform — each venue has unique strong points and the and want to create the best experience possible for the audience.

“There is a direct connection here in town of people wanting to do the best we can with what they’ve got,” he says.

You can catch Blind Karma when they play the August 5 First Friday @ 5 concert from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at RiverScape MetroPark Pavilion, 111 E. Monument Ave. The concession will be open and beer will be sold from 5-7 p.m. The concerts will wrap up in plenty of time to head to the galleries and other arts venues taking part in the First Friday art hop.

Ever since Jesse Remnant and the Trainwrecks released their first album, The Human Cannonball (Squid’s Eye), I can’t get enough of their tunes.  Since then, the band has renamed itself Human Cannonball and has been working on a new album, Let’s Be Friends.  This week’s video is for a song from that album called “Overtime.” Enjoy!

Why Music Matters

By 2 Comments

Picture of CDs

Music is Life

Hello friends. My name is Art Jipson and I am a new music columnist here at DMM.

Recently someone asked me why I spend so much time thinking about, listening to, preparing a radio show, and writing and blogging about music. It is a reasonable question. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. J is well… a doctor. I teach at a university and the expectations are that I will publish, teach, and do service for the university and the broader community. This means that there are always too few hours in the day. Now, this is not a cry session – look how super busy this fellow is every day, oh no – we all are busy. We all have numerous expectations placed on us through family, community, work, and more. So, the question arises again: Why should any of us spend so much time with music everyday?

This is a far harder question for me to answer then I would have originally thought. But in the end a simple thought comes to mind. Music can change the world – it can change people, groups of people, and movements of people. And this is meant in not some silly, way too easy sense of “let’s go out and change the world with a festival about world peace.” Although for the record, we support world peace, it does sound like a nice idea.

Close your eyes for a second and think about your favorite song or favorite tune. Feel free to hum it while you read on…

Music can change you. The feel, the rhythm, clever lyrics, or the overall gestalt of a great song – all of this can transform the listener from one feeling or aspect to another. Music can mobilize for social change. The music of the 1960s had transformative properties and did mobilize the anti-war effort, peace movement, and, of course, the civil rights movement. Even if the protesters in the end may have become stockbrokers, music can encapsulate the alienation, isolation or happiness and joy that a person is feeling. Or take them there. Bob Dylan is one obvious example of this. Amazing song writer and the limitations of his voice only increase the urgency and impact of his words.

Music can transport you. New vistas, new territory, new ideas, and new perspectives are all possible as a result of music.  The power of art is that it can help you explore and be changed through the exploration.  Music can show us combination of sound and ideas that we may never have expected.  Creative ideas, mash-ups, mixing, new textures, scratching, electronica, a powerful vocal, all have fantastic efforts to address new combination of sound, clips, and music. Who could have guessed that Robert Plant would make one of the best albums of his career with Alison Krauss?

Music is always available and new discoveries abound. There are so many great musicians, bands, projects that new music is a constant of new social media.  But let’s be honest for a moment, new music is a constant of the old media as well.  Go to a show, go to a new musician showcase, go walk down the street where bands play on a Friday night – and wherever you live – you know where that street is located and there will be players singing old and new songs.  One of my favorite new discoveries, Dayton’s own The Rebel Set, was a band that we recently discovered.  And I remember thinking: “Where have you been my whole life?” And the answer is right here for you to discover. Turn off your television, forget the big pre-formatted radio stations (you know what I mean) and discover the music that is just off the usual path.

Music matters. Still not sure what I mean? Try an experiment: Spend a day without listening to music. How do you feel? Then spend a day listening to music. How do you feel now? There are numerous studies that demonstrate how your affective life – your emotional landscape – can be directly shaped by the music that you experience. And my guess is that most of us listen to music far more than we realize. Music would be conspicuous by its absence.

This is why music matters for me. Perhaps you have some other thoughts, please let me know – I look forward to the dialogue about music. And while you are considering these ideas, listen to some new music today – especially some of the amazing music being made right here in the Miami Valley.  I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

Exploring the History & Culture of Cityfolk

By Leave a Comment

Photo by Andy Snow provided by Cityfolk

You gotta love the music and the food and the drinks and the art available to enjoy over the course of the Fourth of July weekend at Cityfolk Festival – it’s a great party. But the weekend is something more. It’s a snapshot of our community; diverse cultural groups throughout the region all celebrated for their uniqueness while being featured in one unified festival. As a volunteer supporting Cityfolk through the You Make the Music Happen campaign, I’ve had the opportunity to meet the new Executive Director of Cityfolk. Kathleen Alter is a woman with a lot of energy, drive and passion to keep the Cityfolk Festival alive in Dayton and bring greater awareness and participation to the many, many, many other programs Cityfolk offers throughout the year.

So, as Juliet and the DMM music crew provide great features on the music of the Cityfolk Festival, now seems to be a good time to learn a little more about the history and culture of Cityfolk and the Fest. So, I asked Kathleen some questions about the history of the organization, her perception of the Festival and what it takes to make it successful.

Q: Which came first for Cityfolk: festival or organization?

The organization came first and was incorporated in 1981. The organization will celebrate it’s 30th season in the 2011/2012 season.  The first festival was in 1996 and came to Cityfolk as part of the National Folk Festival. It took place on Courthouse Square.

Q: How did the organization of Cityfolk get its start?

In 1980, five Dayton residents created a series featuring an Irish music concert, Greek dance workshop, Appalachian square dance, African drumming and dance workshop, and the creation of a mural in a neighborhood park. The grassroots effort attempted to bring together the cauldron of cultures that call Dayton home to showcase diversity in the arts. The combination worked, and the organizers realized that the success of the first year pointed to an important need existing in the community–the need for the arts and creative expression of all of Dayton’s ethnic and cultural groups to be displayed in a professional manner. (Adapted from Cityfolk History document)

Q: How did Cityfolk come to host the festival?

Traditionally the National Folk Festival came to a city, stayed for 3 years and moved to another location. When it left in 1998, Cityfok decided to keep producing a festival due to the great reception it received here. So 1999 was the first year the Cityfolk produced a festival. In 2003 the festival moved to its current location at Riverscape.

Q: How is Cityfolk different than any other local concert promoter?

Cityfolk’s mission is to bring the best in ethnic arts to Dayton. That doesn’t always mean the top names are brought in. Many promoters look at what artists will sell tickets and if they aren’t a big name won’t bother with them. Cityfolk has a reputation for recognizing top talent. Many of our artists are award winners for their talent (many of these awards are important but rather obscure in the main stream) Therefore, the artist may not be a big name but if they have a big talent we look to promote them.

Q: What is the goal for the Festival?

Cityfolk believes that a festival is so much more then drinking a beer and listening to a band. Festivals add to the quality of life and provide a sense of community for a city.

  1. We hope that people will come down and have fun, but also realize what a great community Dayton is.
  2. We hope that people will broaden their sense of music. We feature Celtic, bluegrass, jazz and world music at our festival. We hope that someone will realize they love a new genre of music that they were previously not aware of or thought they wouldn’t like.
  3. We hope that the festival will expose new people to Cityfolk and make them aware of all the other events we do during the year.
  4. We hope that the festival is a financial success with the suggested donation campaign.

Q: What’s the biggest challenge with the festival?

Two challenges:

  1. Paying for it. The festival costs approximately $350,000 to produce. Funding at the local, state and federal level has fallen significantly in the last few years so it gets harder to find funding each year. We are always looking for new, alternative sources of funding. The income from the festival not only pays for the festival but for events the rest of the year. This is the reason we are doing the suggested donation this year. We certainly do not want to start charging for the festival as that might alienate too many people who truly can’t afford to attend so we are hoping that a suggested donation will appeal to those who can afford to help.
  2. Advertising it on a very small budget. We are always looking for ways to spread the news about the festival to the outlying towns like Kettering, Centerville, Vandalia, etc.

Q: Cityfolk is often associated with the festival – what do you want people to know about the organization outside of the festival?

This is probably my biggest frustration. People know us through the festival or concerts or education, but very few people know about everything we do. We have such a range of activities and collaborate with so many organizations that if people know everything it would blow them away.

(Writer’s Note: Look for one all-inclusive Cityfolk brochure and a more active advertising campaign to learn about all that Cityfolk does – and check out their Web site.)

Now a little more about the woman at the helm of Cityfolk…

Q: What drew you to apply for the job at Cityfolk?

I saw that the organization had a festival and my background is producing festivals, and I love festivals. I also really loved the education program that Cityfolk did as I feel education is a big part of the arts. I really loved that the organization was a community organization and worked to bring in arts that the community wanted to see. My first interview with them was a phone interview with Jerry Brunswick (president) and Matt Dunn (president-elect) and I got a really warm feeling from then and sensed that the board was very open-minded to changes that might need to be made in order to keep the organization thriving. It seemed like the right job from the moment I read the job description.

Q: What are you most looking forward to at the Festival?

Good weather and people who realize the value of the festival and want to help support it.

Q: What would make this year’s festival a success in your mind?

Success can be on a lot of levels. Certainly I would like the festival to be a financial success, which means bringing in enough money to cover festival costs and have enough left over to help fund the events through the year.  I also hope that new people discover the festival and the music that we present and find one more thing about Dayton that they like. I hope that many people choose to make that a meeting point for their friends and have a really great time.

Q: What do you see for the future of Cityfolk?

The organization is in the process of deciding what the future of the organization is. I would like to see the festival and education programs continue to expand in content and geography. I would like to see more membership. I would like to see the concerts offer even more genres of world music and possible branch out to different venues out of downtown in order to reach more people.

Q: What’s your favorite Dayton spot you’ve discovered?

I love the Wine Gallery and 5th Street in the Oregon District. I love Taquiera Mixteca. I love Hills & Dales park (and can’t wait to discover the rest of the Five Rivers Metroparks). I love Oakwood and Dorothy Lane Market. Sorry, too hard to pick just one.

Q: Anything else we should know about you?

I have lived all over the world growing up and most of the time I choose to live in larger cities so I had some second thoughts about moving a city the size of Dayton. Since I have been here I have been overwhelmed with the kindness and warmth that people have shown me. I don’t think I have ever lived in a city where people would go out of their way to say welcome and ask if I needed anything. It has truly warmed my heart and made me love Dayton in a very short time. Not to mention, that there is always something to do in this city.

Hunt, a Dayton native, will be performing at the festival for the first time in five or six years. There’s one thing she’s most looking forward to about being in her hometown again.

Local rocker returns to play First Friday show

By Leave a Comment

Although she has performed live shows in cities such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Alicia Grodecki says her favorite city to play is her hometown – Dayton.

Lucky for her, with two upcoming shows – First Friday @ 5 on June 3 and a slot at Canal Street Tavern June 18 – her band, Vanity Theft, will get to perform in the city she says is a great place for music.

This week, I talked to Grodecki about Vanity Theft’s new album, touring and the unbelievable experience she had in the recording studio.

“People call us a more badass version of The Killers, except girls,” she says of the band’s sound. “[When asked to describe it] I usually tell people to go listen to it.”

“Get What You Came For,” the latest from Vanity Theft, is a hybrid of dance and pop, with a little electronic feel and attitude. The songs cover a variety of topics ranging from relationships to growing up to just having a good time.

Earlier this year, the band piled in a van and played shows across the United States and Canada, promoting the new album.

“There are an infinite number of ‘best’ things about touring,” says Grodecki. “We see so many people and travel. The bottom line is we get to do what we love every night.”

She does admit being on the road has its downside. “It’s hard being away from home. You miss your family. Our longest van ride was 48 hours straight, but it’s always worth it when you get there.”

Vanity Theft will continue to tour during the summer, including a spot at the Summerfest music celebration in Milwaukee. Grodecki just found out the girls will be opening for Taking Back Sunday, one of their favorite bands.

“I freaked out,” she says. “It’s crazy.”

Playing alongside Taking Back Sunday is not Vanity Theft’s only brush with fame. Elton John was in the studio below them while they recorded their most recent album. The girls were not able to meet him because of his high level of security. But, Grodecki says, he cracked the door and they were permitted to sit outside the studio and listen to him sing.

Even after traveling the country, Grodecki says there is nothing like playing in Dayton. She notes the strong sense of community the city exudes. “It feels good to come home and show everybody what we’ve been doing.”

Kick-N-Flava Play DAI’s Just Jazz

Williams on bass guitar, Brian Smiley on drums and percussionist David Matthews.
