Cascade Theatre unveils its 2016-17 lineup;
returning favorites and new acts abound
By Jon Lewis
Sturgill Simpson, an alt-country
musician whose popularity is
skyrocketing, and the legendary Kris
Kristofferson, who sang at Merle
Haggard’s funeral in April, are just two
of the stars featured in the Cascade
Theatre’s just-released 2016-17 season
lineup.
The historic downtown Redding
theater’s upcoming season is filled
with pleasant surprises, more theatrical
offerings, a free kids’ film series, classic
movies like “Casablanca,” returning
favorites like Boz Scaggs and the
Manhattan Short film festival, as well as
comedians and acrobats.
Tickets for Boz Scaggs (July 13
performance) are on sale now; tickets
for the remainder of the Cascade
Theatre Performance Series go on sale
May 31 for “Fan and Marquee Club
Level” members; June 7 for “Friend and
Follower Level” members; and June 17
for the general public. Call 243-8877 or
visit www.cascadetheatre.org.
“This year we’ve really tried to reach
out to the family market,” said Jana
Pulcini-Leard, the Cascade’s general
manager.
One example of that new emphasis
is the Kids’ Summer Movie Club that will
feature the free screening of children’s
movies on every Saturday in July.
The screenings of favorites like
“Finding Nemo” and “Aladdin” will be
paired with games, prizes, costumed
characters and chances to win tickets to
other Cascade family events.
“We were really brainstorming and
looking for new ways to reach out in the
community,” said Pulcini-Leard. “We
listen to our patrons a lot. The feedback
from the community is very important to
us; we do value their opinions.”
A handful of favorites will be
making return visits, including the Dave
Rawlings Machine, ukulele virtuoso Jake
Shimabukuro and Aaron Neville, while
an enticing mix of other artists will be

“One of the new names I’m excited
about is Sturgill Simpson, an up and
coming country star,” Pulcini-Leard
said. “We were so thrilled he was able

to make us part of his tour. After this
he will be doing stadiums. And Kris
Kristofferson is a great choice because
he was really close with Merle, so I’m
sure a lot of people will want to see
that.”
People also are likely to enjoy seeing
the Cascade revisit its movie palace
roots with its Silver Screen Classics
Party. Four Hollywood classics will
be screened during party events tied
to different themes, with live music,
dancing, drink specials and other
surprises.
“Frankenstein” opens the series on
Oct. 30, followed by “It’s a Wonderful
Life” on Dec. 16; “Casablanca” will enjoy
a Valentines-related party on Feb. 12;
and April showers will be honored April
23 with “Singing in the Rain.”
The Cascade Theatre has added
to its live stage theatrical offerings as
well. In addition to the holiday favorite
“A Cascade Christmas” (Nov. 25
through Dec. 4) and the spring musical,
“Tarzan,” (March 31 through April 9),
the theater will host Southern Oregon
University’s production of “Peter and the
Starcatcher” on May 20.

Lydia Pense and Cold Blood
Singin’ the Blues Festival in Anderson
By Derral Campbell
They’ll be shaking down the Blues at
Anderson River Park on June 25 as the
Jefferson State Blues Society holds its
second annual Singin’ the Blues Festival.
In addition to Bay Area music legend
Lydia Pense and Cold Blood (above)
headlining, there also will be a couple of
new names in the blues featured - Lisa
Mann and Crooked Eye Tommy.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 the
day of the show, and are available in
Redding at Herreid Music, The Music
Connection, the Cascade Theatre and
Mike’s Music and Sound. For more
information, call (530) 549-3005.
Lydia Pense and Cold Blood were one
of the hottest 60’s S.F. Bay Area acts,
merging horn-driven excitement with
Lydia’s brassy vocals.
Portland’s Lisa Mann won Blues Music
Awards in Memphis last year as a Sean
Costello Rising Star and for her bass
instrumentation.
Crooked Eye Tommy is the recent
project of brothers Tommy and Paddy
Marsh. Forming in Ventura in 2014, they’re
a staple on the Santa Barbara scene, and
are recipients of blues awards as well,
featuring stinging guitar and captivating
vocals.
Two other local bands round out
the lineup: Odessa and The Blackwell
Brothers.
There’ll be food vendors. Coolers and
lawn chairs are welcome. The gates will
open at noon, and the music is scheduled
from 1 p.m. until 9 p.m. Please, no dogs
are allowed and smoking of any kind is
prohibited.

James McMurtry in Redding and Chico in benefit for KZFR
“Much attention is paid to James
McMurtry’s lyrics and rightfully so: He
creates a novel’s worth of emotion and
experience in four minutes of blisteringly
stark couplets. What gets overlooked,
however, is that he’s an accomplished
rock guitar player…serious stuff,
imparted by a singularly serious band.”
- Washington Post
James McMurtry’s extensive “Back At
It” summer tour kicks off during St. Louis’
Twangfest (June 8) and zigzags across
North America, including a June 15 stop
at Old City Hall in Redding and a June
16 show at End of Normal, 2500 Estes
Road, Chico.
Tickets are $35 each for the Redding
show and are available at www.kzfr.org,
the Music Connection in Redding or at
Old City Hall. Show is at 7:30 p.m. Max
Gomez opens.
Tickets are $25 each for the Chico
show and are available at Chico Paper
Company and at kzfr.org. Both shows are
a benefit for KZFR radio.
“June could be hot in Austin what with
the unexpected acceleration in climate
change,” McMurtry says. “Time to tour,
I say. Back before Napster and Spotify,
we toured to promote record sales. Now
we make records to promote tour dates.”
Clearly, the sea change has only
inspired the singular songwriter. Witness
Complicated Game. McMurtry’s first
album in six years has garnered universal
acclaim.
“At a stage where most veteran
musicians fall into a groove or rut, McMurtry
continues to surprise,” Texas Music
magazine recently noted. “(Complicated
Game) is a collection of narratives as
sharply observed as any from McMurtry,
but with a contemplative depth that comes
with maturity.”
Indeed, McMurtry’s latest collection
spotlights a craftsman in absolutely peak
form as he turns from the political toward
the personal (“These Things I’ve Come to
Know,” “You Got to Me”).
“The lyrical theme is mostly about
relationships,” the longtime Austin resident
says. “It’s also a little about the big old
world verses the poor little farmer or
fisherman.”
Longtime fans know McMurtry’s
vibrant vignettes have turned heads for a
quarter century now.
“James McMurtry is one of my very
few favorite songwriters on earth and
these days he’s working at the top of his
game,” says Grammy award-winning
singer-songwriter and guitarist Jason
Isbell. “He has that rare gift of being able
to make a listener laugh out loud at one
line and choke up at the next. I don’t think
anybody writes better lyrics.”
Evidence: McMurtry’s Just Us Kids
(2008) and Childish Things (2005). The
former earned his highest Billboard 200
chart position in nearly two decades and
notched three Americana Music Award
nominations (including Artist of the Year).
Meanwhile, Childish Things scored
endless critical praise and spent six full
weeks topping the Americana Music
Radio chart in 2005 and 2006. In 2006,
Childish Things won the Americana Music
Association’s Album of the Year and “We
Can’t Make It Here” was named the rapidly
rising organization’s Song of the Year.
McMurtry’s critically lauded first album
Too Long in the Wasteland (1989) was
produced by John Mellencamp and
marked the beginning of a series of
acclaimed projects for Columbia and
Sugar Hill Records.
In 1996, McMurtry received a Grammy
nomination for Long Form Music Video for
Where’d You Hide the Body. Additionally,
It Had to Happen (1997) received the
American Indie Award for Best Americana
Album.

forms with the fifth annual Jazz in the
Canyon scheduled from June 24 to July 4.
Multiple venues will feature many of
the north state’s favorite jazz musicians
and visiting guest artists in a multi-venue,
town-wide explosion of jazz.
Listeners will be treated to everything
from blues to swing to gypsy jazz, smooth
jazz to Latin jazz, some funk, and eclectic
fusions of roots and folk music infused
with jazz.
Some of the featured artists include:
acclaimed pianist Cali O’Doherty and her
band from New York; Latin-infused jazz
duo Sonido Allegre with Charles Guy and
Linda Powers; fingerstyle guitarist Rick
Garrett, the Chuck Epperson Jr. group;
Allison and Victor and the Midnight Band;
and the “way out jazz” of guitar veteran
Mickey Jones, plus many more.

Redding Dance Centre
presents Cinderella
Redding Dance Centre will present
the full ballet production of Cinderella, as
well as the featured medley of jazz, tap,
and modern pieces titled Dance 911, on
June 11 at the Redding Civic Auditorium.
This dance production features over
200 local performers, showcasing talent
of all ages, with original backdrops and
costumes.
“This performance is a unique
experience in the north state where I can
take a school of dancers and give them
a professional experience of a full story
ballet,” said Debi Larsen, director and
owner of the Redding Dance Centre.
Larsen said they selected music and
created original choreography to match
the character and skill level of each
performer.
“And the costumes, sets and music are
all selected to complement each other and
portray the vision of the story,” she said.
“We are trying to convey the spirit of hope
and the idea usually seen in most fairy
tales - that dreams do come true.”
The matinee performance is set for 1
p.m. and the evening performance is at
7 p.m. Tickets are $16 each and can be
purchased at the Redding Dance Centre,
the Redding Civic Auditorium, or online at
www.reddingcivic.com.

The sounds of summer: Outdoor concerts
in the north state are plentiful—and free
By Jon Lewis
Hot Buttered Rum, a
highly regarded string
band, wraps up the
summer fun at the Mt.
Shasta Summer Concert
Series on Aug. 14.
The Sunday concert
series, held at Shastice
Park in Mount Shasta,
are presented by the
Mount Shasta Mountain
Bike Association to
promote its 100 miles
of Trails campaign.
Below, Leaving Austin,
a cutting-edge country
band out of Fresno,
wraps up the Mosquito
Serenade concert series
on Aug. 10.
One of the nicest features of summer
in the north state is the opportunity to
take in some live music in a relaxed
outdoor setting. There’s nothing nicer
than spreading out a blanket or setting
up a lawn chair, slipping those sandals
off and wiggling your toes in the fresh air.
Well, there is ONE thing nicer: the
price of admission, which is free.
From Fall River in the east, Anderson
and Chico to the south, and Shasta Lake
and Mount Shasta to the north, here’s
a quick rundown of the concerts that
lay in store:
Mosquito Serenade
The granddaddy of outdoor concert
series is in its 35th year, courtesy of the
city of Anderson and a host of sponsors.
For the second year in a row, Netsound
proprietor Jon Thompson has been
tasked with programming the series.
Helping him book this year’s acts is
musician Mike Brown of California
Country and the Jefferson State Blues
Society. Thompson originally came on
board eight years ago to beef up the
sound system at Anderson River Park’s
amphitheater.
Top-flight tribute bands again
dominate the lineup and for good reason:
southern Shasta County audiences love
to get up and dance to their favorite
hits. Young up-and-coming local acts
will set the tone each Wednesday at
5:30 p.m., followed by the headliner at
7. Bring blankets and chairs; leave the
glass containers at home. Anderson
Rotary and a taco truck will offer food
and soft drinks.
Tennessee River, an Alabama tribute
band, opens the season June 8.
“Tennessee River was one of our
favorites last year,” Thompson said.
“They are amazing. The whole crowd
came up afterward and asked if they
are coming back. Great vocals and
harmonies.”
Mosquito Serenade makes a bit of
history the next week when it partners
with the Shasta District Fair and moves
the show over to the fairgrounds to
help celebrate the opening night of the
2016 fair.
Admission to the fair is free between
6 and 8 p.m. for those who want to check
out High Valley, a young but up and
coming country band out of Canada, in
the grandstands.
“The city and the fair are working
together, and that’s a good vibe
actually,” Thompson said. “I’m proud of
the Serenade for going in that direction.”
Next up is Journey’s Edge on June
22, a band so popular that it received
generous applause just for its sound
check at Kool April Nites. Their spot-on
covers of Journey hits will certainly
benefit from Netsound’s robust sound

system. June ends with Summer of Love
on June 29.
Returning favorites Cloverdayle are

of 88 and their tribute to piano rock will
perform on July 13; Big Mo and the Full
Moon Band bring the blues on July 20;
and Savannah Blue’s tribute to southern
rock closes out the month on July 27.
The Cheeseballs, a high-energy
dance band from San Francisco, play
the hits on Aug. 3 and Leaving Austin,
a cutting-edge country band out of
Fresno, wraps up the series on Aug. 10.
Sunset River Jam
The free music on Wednesday nights
at Anderson River Park’s amphitheatre
continues with the Anderson Chamber
of Commerce series. Opening acts start
at 5 and the headliners take the stage at
6. A beer booth is available, as well as
food by Mary’s Pizza Shack and Dogs
on a Roll.
Hill Street Band opens things up on
Aug. 17; Redding’s own Cold Sweat
performs on Aug. 24; Liquid Amber
covers some rock hits on Sept. 7; Red
Bluff’s Chad Bushnell brings his country
favorites to the stage on Sept. 14; and
Odessa lays down the blues on Sept.
21.
Friday Night in the Park
Shasta Lake’s outdoor concert
series, presented by the Shasta Lake
Chamber of Commerce, starts June
10 with the Lindsey Thomas Band. All
concerts are held from 6 to 8:30 pm
at Clair Engle Park, located at 1525
Median Ave., just north of Shasta Dam
Boulevard. Food, crafts, and beer and
wine will be available; bring blankets
and chairs.
Odessa brings the blues on June 17;
The Torpedoes rocks out on June 24;
Mojo Child, a Doors tribute band, plays
July 1; former “The Voice” contestant
Summer Schappell & Whiskey Creek
perform on July 8; rhythm & blues by the

dance music on July 22; and One Sol
brings the reggae on July 29.
Returning favorites Superior Olive
brings the classic rock back on Aug. 5;
and alt country specialists The Billies
wrap up the series on Aug. 12.
Mt. Shasta Summer
Concert Series
Shastice Park at 800 Rockfellow
Drive in Mount Shasta is the place to be
on Sunday evenings for this cool series.
All concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. and
they are, of course, free. The concerts

Mountain Bike Association to promote
its 100 Miles of Trails campaign.
The Sundown Poachers, Scott

get the party started on July 10; The
Brothers Comatose perform their folk
rock on July 17; popular Oregon-based

Secret Society Handshake, an
11-piece neo-soul and funk band out
of Dunsmuir, performs on Aug. 7 and
Hot Buttered Rum, a highly regarded
string band, wraps up the summer fun
on Aug. 14.
Fall River Valley Music Series
The beautiful Fall River Valley in the
Intermountain area is the setting for a
fun music series sponsored by the Fall
River Valley Chamber of Commerce.
The music is on Friday nights from 4:30
to 8:30 p.m. and each show will feature
a farmers market, wine by the glass
and craft beer and food by the local
4-H Club. A food drive also will be held,
so bring along a dated, non-perishable
food item.
Heartless & Band kicks things off on
June 17 at the Circle 7 Guest Ranch in
Fall River Mills and the series continues
July 15 in the Gazebo area of the InterMountain Fairgrounds in McArthur with
Allison & Victor; Rainy Nights provides
the tunes on July 22; and the Noizy
Neighbors perform twice on July 29 and
Aug. 5 to close it out.
Market Street Faire
Thursday nights will be hopping
in downtown Redding on the Market
Street Promenade, where the former
downtown Redding Mall used to stand.
Market Street Faire will feature local
and regional acts in intimate settings
throughout the three blocks of the
Promenade.
“There’s basically going to be
music around every corner,” said Viva
Downtown spokeswoman Valerie Ing
Tompkins. Market Street Faire runs
June 2 to July 28 from 5 to 8:30 p.m.
The fair, presented by Viva Downtown,
includes a farmers market, vendors,
organized bike rides and children’s
activities.

Theater group presents ‘Cabaret’
You’re all invited to come to the
cabaret, old friends.
Axiom Repertory Theater in
cooperation with Tams Witmark presents
“Cabaret” for 12 performances, including
three matinees, from June 16 to July 3
at the Anderson Performing Arts Center,
1471 Ferry St., Anderson.
Ken Hill directs this show teaming up
with Roni Grandell for some Fosse-like
choreography. Adam Ferris is musical
director and executive producer is Nancy
Dutton.
“Our new theatre company, Axiom
Repertory Theatre, is launching one of the
most exciting productions written for the
American stage - Cabaret,” Hill said. “We
have gathered some of the most talented
people in the community to make this
show an outstanding theatre spectacle.”
Hill said the show is timeless and really
speaks to current events in today’s world.
“And our cast is amazing and has
embraced to characters in the show fully,”
he added. “It’s going to be amazing to
watch.”
Shows are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on
June 16-18, June 23-25 and June 30-July
2; and 2 p.m. matinees are set for June
19, 26 and July 3.
Winner of the Tony and eight Oscar
Awards for the film, Joe Masteroff’s
book for “Cabaret” was based on John
van Druten’s play I Am a Camera, itself
inspired by Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin
stories.
This landmark musical turns Weimar
Berlin of 1931 into a dark and sexually
charged haven of decadence where its
extraordinary and morally ambiguous
inhabitants are determined to keep up
appearances as the real world - outside

Special “Cabaret” seating is available

Documentary on
Janis Joplin and
Big Brother live,
together for one
night in Red Bluff
Together for one night, the classic
rock documentary “Janis, Little Girl
Blue” and directly after, Big Brother and
The Holding Company live on stage, is
schedule to take place at 6 p.m. June 25
at the State Theatre in Red Bluff. Tickets
are $25 to $30 and are available online at
www.statetheatreredbluff.com or Tehama
Country Visitor Center, Red Bluff.
Musician Cat Power narrates the
documentary on Joplin’s evolution into
a star from letters that she wrote over
the years to her friends, family and
collaborators. Archival footage and
interviews highlight the life and career of
the singer-songwriter, from her musical
rise in the 1960s to her battle with alcohol
and heroin addiction. The film is directed
by Amy Berg.
Big Brother and the Holding Company
are primarily remembered as the group
that gave Joplin her start. There’s no
denying both that Joplin was by far the
one hour prior to each performance.
Remaining tickets will be available at
the door, first come, first served. Tickets
range in price from $10 to $20. More
information is available online at www.
axiomrepertorytheatre.com
Current members of Big Brother and the
Holding Company (above) will perform at
the State Theatre in Red Bluff on June 25
following a showing of the documentary on
Janis Joplin, “Janis, Little Girl Blue.”
band’s most striking asset, and that
Big Brother would never have made a
significant impression if they hadn’t been
fortunate enough to add her to their lineup
shortly after forming.
But Big Brother also occupies a place
in the history of San Francisco psychedelic
rock, as one of the bands that captured the
era’s loosest, most reckless, and indulgent
qualities in its high-energy mutations of
blues and folk-rock.
Today, Big Brother and the Holding
Company is comprised of original
members Dave Getz and Peter Albin,
along with Tom Finch, Tommy Odetto and
Darby Gould.
The Inter-Mountain fairgrounds in
McArthur will turn into a place that will
be fun for the whole family when the
Mountain Jubilee takes place June
24-26.
Hosted by the Inter-Mountain
Heritage Foundation, the weekend will
be packed with activities for kids and
adults. Admission is free for the entire
family.
Activities will include team roping
and barrel racing, a softball tournament,
car and truck show, food relay, blowfish
races, mud run, small animal show,
trike races and an amateur and open
horseshoe tournament.
Barbecues will be available both
nights along with lunch vendors and
a farmers’ market and country crafts
show.
Live music and dancing will top off
each night with the beer garden open
Friday and Saturday.
Camping reservations and more
information is available through the
Inter-Mountain Fair office at (530) 3365695.
