Results Spamarama XIV

DeliBill — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 07:30:24 +0000

Another fantastic endeavor. Thanks to the Spam Daddies and the nearly twenty entrants. Amy Kercher won Best and Most Unusual with her SPAM Apple Tart. An anonymous SPAM cheese log achieved worst. Honorable mention were the lasagna, southwest casserole, mushroom caps, and SPAMmeled Eggs. On a personal note, my tribute to Julia Child, an aspic SPAM en Gele’e (there was quite a bit left…odd), in being transported home the hundred degree heat caused the gelatin to lose integrity. The application of brakes at the first stoplight had disastrous results to the interior of the car. Anyway, thanks to all! Looking forward to doing it again in 364!

Spamarama XIV

DeliBill — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 20:53:09 +0000

As Flag Day approaches The Deli is once more pleased to announce our semi-annual celebration of that star-spangled potted meat, SPAM. Categories are Best, Worst, and Most Unusual. Offerings must be comprised of 30% original SPAM by weight. The SPAM Daddies will provide dining music and SPAM tributes and haikus shall be proffered. Past winners have been Spew (SPAM stew), SPAMsagna, Spushi, SPAM chili, and chocolate covered SPAM on a stick. Because of the SPAM kim-chee submitted a few years ago we must refuse entry of any fermented SPAM products on both aesthetic and bio-hazard grounds.

The place and hour of worship shall be The Deli, 309 White St, Sunday, June 13th, 5:00 p.m. For further info contact 329-3534 after 3:00 p.m. It’s not just SPAM, it’s an adventure!

Stephanie Briggs: June 22nd

The music industry often forgets that music is art. Stephanie Briggs has not forgotten. In fact, she thoughtlessly aligns her craft with genuine experiences. Ever vibrantly composed, Briggs’ true artistry is found in her intricately layered songs, both lyrically and musically, and her equally intriguing designs. But after touring and promoting for 10 years, loyalty to her craft inspired Briggs to transform the way music is created, performed and distributed. You won’t find her playing five nights a week to empty bars or disengaged patrons. Instead you will find her pouring hours of labor in to maintaining her art as a business, creating new music and orchestrating unique, themed performances for audiences with clout. Unlike most, Briggs refuses to compromise her integrity for wealth or notoriety. She has witnessed industry politics and has chosen instead to take a stand for sincere, elaborately crafted music. Her work ethic, competence and raw talent set her apart in a sea of uninspired so-called competitors. But she is her own worst critic; everything heard and seen has been relentlessly revised and perfected. This consistent dedication and fidelity to originality makes Stephanie Briggs simply worth listening to.

Brave Combo: June 10th

DeliBill — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 15:32:43 +0000

http://www.brave.com

Trying to describe Brave Combo’s music requires a pretty extensive vocabulary – at least when it comes to musical styles. For the past three decades the Denton, Texas based quintet has perfected a world music mix that includes salsa, meringue, rock, cumbia, conjunto, polka, zydeco, classical, cha cha, the blues and more. They are America’s Premier Dance band and a rollicking, rocking, rhythmic global journey — offering what one critic recently wrote, “Even if you come for the party, you’ll leave with something of a musical education.”

Brave Combo’s catalog of recordings range from Japanese pop to Latin American dance tunes, to the orchestral classics to rock and roll at its finest. The band has recorded with the late Tiny Tim, and were the band Talking Head’s David Byrne chose for his wedding reception. From festivals and fairs of all varieties across the globe, rock clubs big and small, colleges, roadhouses, dances, cultural centers (including the annual Midsummer Night’s Swing at Lincoln Center in New York City) Brave Combo has charmed countless listeners and won avid devotees. The band has won two Grammy Awards and been nominated for their work 7 times.

Brave Combo’s vivid music can be heard in the films David Byrne’s True Stories, Clive Barker’s Lord of Illusions, Late Bloomers, Fools Rush In, Envy, The Academy award winning The Personals. They appeared at Oktoberfest in the beloved American burg of Springfield on an episode of “The Simpsons” and in 2008 Brave Combo provided the musical score for PBS’s first ever animated series, “As the Wrench Turns” which resulted in an “Annie” nomination from the International Animated Film Society. Their music has also been featured on ABC’s hit series “Ugly Betty”, and Fox Television’s “Bakersfield P.D.” They have also contributed original music for ESPN and The Big Ten network.

Keyboardist, guitarist, accordionist, and singer Carl Finch founded the band in 1979, releasing their first records on the band’s own Four Dots Records. Alongside Finch for most of Brave Combo’s 30 years has been multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Barnes, who joined in 1983. Barnes is known for his lively and imaginative stage wear, as well as playing an array of reeds and woodwinds, harmonica, pennywhistle, guitars, you name it, sometimes in multiple, simultaneous combinations. Rounding out the current line-up are trumpet player Danny O’Brien, drummer Arjuna Contreras and Little Jack Melody on bass guitar.

Brave Combo continues to tour extensively and is currently working on their next CD release.

The Giving Tree Band: June 8th

If you ask Todd and Eric Fink of The Giving Tree Band how much time they spend making music, your voice will not be heard above the din of their banjo and guitar, respectively. For the Brothers Fink, there is no distinction between playing music and just plain living. No two days are ever the same, as every new moment is their most creative. Their bodies and instruments become a singularity that is just trying to get in tune, stay in tune, and add a little harmony to the grand symphony of life.

When asked to cite influences, they will rarely speak of musical figures. They will proudly recite their genealogy, and celebrate the direct bloodline flowing from Mike Fink, the legendary folk hero known for his exploits on the Mighty Mississippi River. On their mother’s side, the sol smiles down on the path that connects them with Hernando de Soto, the Spanish conquistador who first discovered the aforementioned Mississippi. And so, the Finks grew up with a sacred reverence for nature, one that often collided with a reckless passion for adventure. It is only natural that their musical vision includes a plan to canoe the entire Mississippi River while touring cities along the massive waterway.

Following their lifelong desire for a band, the Finks have extended their brotherhood into an epic collective of like-minded souls, known throughout the world as The Giving Tree Band. Further inspired by extraordinary adventurers who led impressive supporting casts, the GTB has become a modern musical version of such historical outfits as Ben Franklin and The Honest Whigs, Frank and Jesse and The James Gang, and Theodore Roosevelt and The Rough Riders.

Though the story of The Giving Tree Band is still being written, it can already be said that these musical frontiersmen are redefining “virtuosity,” which is traditionally understood as dizzying displays of technical wizardry. But what is missing from this definition is the root word–Virtue. And it is upon this foundation of Virtue that The Giving Tree Band weaves their musical tapestry–by playing every single note with integrity in order to purposefully craft each part, by playing every single part with humility in order to serve the song, by playing every single song with honesty in order to resonate with the listeners at the show, by playing every single show with gratitude in order to appreciate this special privilege in life, and by playing life with a heart full of love in order to realize that it is all music, and it is all beautiful.
