FOOD amp DRINK BREWMASTER
Ommegang Brewery amp Liefmanrsquos Brewery Rosetta - Fruit AleBY STEVE LONSWAY
This monthsrsquo feature beer is a beer we recently started offering in the Stone Arch Tap Room It is our first imported beer which is a bit outside our box Itrsquos called Rosetta a fruit ale that was aged on cher-ries By style definition it is a traditional Belgian Kriek beer Brewed in Belgium by Liefmanrsquos Brewery for their sister brewery Ommegang located in Cooperstown New York More about the breweries after we take a good look at the beer itself
The label on this libation is very clean and basic An image of three cherries pop out in the center of the label which is topped by the familiar Ommegang logo With the use of green and the red from the cherries it almost has a Christmas feel to it although it has nothing to do with the holiday
What we really like about the content of the label is that they display the recom-mended serving temperature as well as the ideal glass from which to enjoy it When tasting this brew our team followed their recommendation in using a stemmed glass with a narrow mouth and wide body which holds most of the aromatics in until the very end
It pours a bit fizzy from the higher carbonation level but isnrsquot so much so that it overflows the glass The off-white head drops quickly to a thin layer that lasted for the whole experience The appearance is inviting as the dark chestnut amber fluid flows The nose is primarily sweet and sour cherry with some earthy malt tones sneak-ing in behind A Belgian yeast note can be detected followed up by a slight caramel scent The effervescent sourness hits your palate first with a cherry sweet finish that soon follows
The Stone Arch Brew Team varied in the pungency of the cherries Some said it was a bit overpowering where others felt that is was a nice compliment What was universal is the opinion that the sweettart aspect was very well balanced and quite
pleasing Although the alcohol by volume is only 56 a slight alcohol note can be noticed as the sweetness fades away Often fruit beers are too fruit forward with the beer flavor just an afterthought That is not the case with this one beer flavors still shine through the cherry layers The finish is uncharacteristic for a Kriek in being a bit sweet The sourness is predominately in the nose and initial taste and tends to lead the way for the sweetness to finish off very clean and drinkable nonetheless
When the brew team was asked for good pairings for this beer we all jumped on the famous Stone Cellar Biergarten salad as a perfect fit Most salads and lighter fare would also do well with the Rosetta especially with softer cheeses infused Ice cream cheesecakes and cherry chip cookies were also suggested as good pairings but let it be noted itrsquos a good stand-alone beer as well
Now letrsquos get into the nuts and bolts of the breweries involved Liefmanrsquos Brewery made this Kriek style beer specifically for its sister brewery Ommegang The name Rosetta is in honor of the first women Bel-gian BrewmasterhellipMadame Rosa Merckx who was a former Brewmaster with Liefmanrsquos Brewery What these skilled brewers did to make this beer was to add a perfect blend of a new Flemish Brown Ale to a Flemish Brown Ale that is ldquooldrdquo (oud bruin) and aged on cherries for at least three years The resulting complexity can only be achieved by this very patient approach Rosetta is available in 112 ounce brown bottles and can be purchased throughout Ommegangrsquos distribution ter-ritory of 44 states Wisconsin being one of them
Ommegang got their start in 1997 when two folks who owned Vanberg amp Dewulf Beer Import Company teamed up with three family owned Belgian breweries that they developed strong relationships with through the years Vanberg amp Dewulf are self-proclaimed Belgian beer experts and built their business motto on import-
ing the very rich and unique beers Belgium has to offer They combined their efforts by building a beautiful brewery based on a traditional Belgian Farmhouse The land they chose for their venture was a 136-acre property that was once a hop farm and is located in the Susquehanna River Valley four miles south of Cooperstown New York
The all-too-familiar consolidation phase hit Belgium strong and the three partnered Belgian breweries were absorbed by larger corporations This prompted the Vanberg amp Dewulf people to sell their shares of Ommegang in 2003 to the Belgian brewer Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat is best known for brewing Duvel Golden Ale which is a world-renowned Belgian beer Ommegang has grown rapidly since their inception and
in 2005 added the necessary equipment to increase their annual capacity by 40 With so much property and a beautiful building many events are hosted from lsquobeer-cationsrsquo to bike races to beer festivals Ommegang Brewery should be a destina-tion on all beer lovers bucket lists
FINAL WORD Easy drinking effer-vescence with a complex sweet and tart cherry flavor profile Totally worth it

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FOOD amp DRINK BREWMASTER
Ommegang Brewery amp Liefmanrsquos Brewery Rosetta - Fruit AleBY STEVE LONSWAY
This monthsrsquo feature beer is a beer we recently started offering in the Stone Arch Tap Room It is our first imported beer which is a bit outside our box Itrsquos called Rosetta a fruit ale that was aged on cher-ries By style definition it is a traditional Belgian Kriek beer Brewed in Belgium by Liefmanrsquos Brewery for their sister brewery Ommegang located in Cooperstown New York More about the breweries after we take a good look at the beer itself
The label on this libation is very clean and basic An image of three cherries pop out in the center of the label which is topped by the familiar Ommegang logo With the use of green and the red from the cherries it almost has a Christmas feel to it although it has nothing to do with the holiday
What we really like about the content of the label is that they display the recom-mended serving temperature as well as the ideal glass from which to enjoy it When tasting this brew our team followed their recommendation in using a stemmed glass with a narrow mouth and wide body which holds most of the aromatics in until the very end
It pours a bit fizzy from the higher carbonation level but isnrsquot so much so that it overflows the glass The off-white head drops quickly to a thin layer that lasted for the whole experience The appearance is inviting as the dark chestnut amber fluid flows The nose is primarily sweet and sour cherry with some earthy malt tones sneak-ing in behind A Belgian yeast note can be detected followed up by a slight caramel scent The effervescent sourness hits your palate first with a cherry sweet finish that soon follows
The Stone Arch Brew Team varied in the pungency of the cherries Some said it was a bit overpowering where others felt that is was a nice compliment What was universal is the opinion that the sweettart aspect was very well balanced and quite
pleasing Although the alcohol by volume is only 56 a slight alcohol note can be noticed as the sweetness fades away Often fruit beers are too fruit forward with the beer flavor just an afterthought That is not the case with this one beer flavors still shine through the cherry layers The finish is uncharacteristic for a Kriek in being a bit sweet The sourness is predominately in the nose and initial taste and tends to lead the way for the sweetness to finish off very clean and drinkable nonetheless
When the brew team was asked for good pairings for this beer we all jumped on the famous Stone Cellar Biergarten salad as a perfect fit Most salads and lighter fare would also do well with the Rosetta especially with softer cheeses infused Ice cream cheesecakes and cherry chip cookies were also suggested as good pairings but let it be noted itrsquos a good stand-alone beer as well
Now letrsquos get into the nuts and bolts of the breweries involved Liefmanrsquos Brewery made this Kriek style beer specifically for its sister brewery Ommegang The name Rosetta is in honor of the first women Bel-gian BrewmasterhellipMadame Rosa Merckx who was a former Brewmaster with Liefmanrsquos Brewery What these skilled brewers did to make this beer was to add a perfect blend of a new Flemish Brown Ale to a Flemish Brown Ale that is ldquooldrdquo (oud bruin) and aged on cherries for at least three years The resulting complexity can only be achieved by this very patient approach Rosetta is available in 112 ounce brown bottles and can be purchased throughout Ommegangrsquos distribution ter-ritory of 44 states Wisconsin being one of them
Ommegang got their start in 1997 when two folks who owned Vanberg amp Dewulf Beer Import Company teamed up with three family owned Belgian breweries that they developed strong relationships with through the years Vanberg amp Dewulf are self-proclaimed Belgian beer experts and built their business motto on import-
ing the very rich and unique beers Belgium has to offer They combined their efforts by building a beautiful brewery based on a traditional Belgian Farmhouse The land they chose for their venture was a 136-acre property that was once a hop farm and is located in the Susquehanna River Valley four miles south of Cooperstown New York
The all-too-familiar consolidation phase hit Belgium strong and the three partnered Belgian breweries were absorbed by larger corporations This prompted the Vanberg amp Dewulf people to sell their shares of Ommegang in 2003 to the Belgian brewer Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat is best known for brewing Duvel Golden Ale which is a world-renowned Belgian beer Ommegang has grown rapidly since their inception and
in 2005 added the necessary equipment to increase their annual capacity by 40 With so much property and a beautiful building many events are hosted from lsquobeer-cationsrsquo to bike races to beer festivals Ommegang Brewery should be a destina-tion on all beer lovers bucket lists
FINAL WORD Easy drinking effer-vescence with a complex sweet and tart cherry flavor profile Totally worth it

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FOOD amp DRINK BREWMASTER
Ommegang Brewery amp Liefmanrsquos Brewery Rosetta - Fruit AleBY STEVE LONSWAY
This monthsrsquo feature beer is a beer we recently started offering in the Stone Arch Tap Room It is our first imported beer which is a bit outside our box Itrsquos called Rosetta a fruit ale that was aged on cher-ries By style definition it is a traditional Belgian Kriek beer Brewed in Belgium by Liefmanrsquos Brewery for their sister brewery Ommegang located in Cooperstown New York More about the breweries after we take a good look at the beer itself
The label on this libation is very clean and basic An image of three cherries pop out in the center of the label which is topped by the familiar Ommegang logo With the use of green and the red from the cherries it almost has a Christmas feel to it although it has nothing to do with the holiday
What we really like about the content of the label is that they display the recom-mended serving temperature as well as the ideal glass from which to enjoy it When tasting this brew our team followed their recommendation in using a stemmed glass with a narrow mouth and wide body which holds most of the aromatics in until the very end
It pours a bit fizzy from the higher carbonation level but isnrsquot so much so that it overflows the glass The off-white head drops quickly to a thin layer that lasted for the whole experience The appearance is inviting as the dark chestnut amber fluid flows The nose is primarily sweet and sour cherry with some earthy malt tones sneak-ing in behind A Belgian yeast note can be detected followed up by a slight caramel scent The effervescent sourness hits your palate first with a cherry sweet finish that soon follows
The Stone Arch Brew Team varied in the pungency of the cherries Some said it was a bit overpowering where others felt that is was a nice compliment What was universal is the opinion that the sweettart aspect was very well balanced and quite
pleasing Although the alcohol by volume is only 56 a slight alcohol note can be noticed as the sweetness fades away Often fruit beers are too fruit forward with the beer flavor just an afterthought That is not the case with this one beer flavors still shine through the cherry layers The finish is uncharacteristic for a Kriek in being a bit sweet The sourness is predominately in the nose and initial taste and tends to lead the way for the sweetness to finish off very clean and drinkable nonetheless
When the brew team was asked for good pairings for this beer we all jumped on the famous Stone Cellar Biergarten salad as a perfect fit Most salads and lighter fare would also do well with the Rosetta especially with softer cheeses infused Ice cream cheesecakes and cherry chip cookies were also suggested as good pairings but let it be noted itrsquos a good stand-alone beer as well
Now letrsquos get into the nuts and bolts of the breweries involved Liefmanrsquos Brewery made this Kriek style beer specifically for its sister brewery Ommegang The name Rosetta is in honor of the first women Bel-gian BrewmasterhellipMadame Rosa Merckx who was a former Brewmaster with Liefmanrsquos Brewery What these skilled brewers did to make this beer was to add a perfect blend of a new Flemish Brown Ale to a Flemish Brown Ale that is ldquooldrdquo (oud bruin) and aged on cherries for at least three years The resulting complexity can only be achieved by this very patient approach Rosetta is available in 112 ounce brown bottles and can be purchased throughout Ommegangrsquos distribution ter-ritory of 44 states Wisconsin being one of them
Ommegang got their start in 1997 when two folks who owned Vanberg amp Dewulf Beer Import Company teamed up with three family owned Belgian breweries that they developed strong relationships with through the years Vanberg amp Dewulf are self-proclaimed Belgian beer experts and built their business motto on import-
ing the very rich and unique beers Belgium has to offer They combined their efforts by building a beautiful brewery based on a traditional Belgian Farmhouse The land they chose for their venture was a 136-acre property that was once a hop farm and is located in the Susquehanna River Valley four miles south of Cooperstown New York
The all-too-familiar consolidation phase hit Belgium strong and the three partnered Belgian breweries were absorbed by larger corporations This prompted the Vanberg amp Dewulf people to sell their shares of Ommegang in 2003 to the Belgian brewer Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat is best known for brewing Duvel Golden Ale which is a world-renowned Belgian beer Ommegang has grown rapidly since their inception and
in 2005 added the necessary equipment to increase their annual capacity by 40 With so much property and a beautiful building many events are hosted from lsquobeer-cationsrsquo to bike races to beer festivals Ommegang Brewery should be a destina-tion on all beer lovers bucket lists
FINAL WORD Easy drinking effer-vescence with a complex sweet and tart cherry flavor profile Totally worth it

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FOOD amp DRINK BREWMASTER
Ommegang Brewery amp Liefmanrsquos Brewery Rosetta - Fruit AleBY STEVE LONSWAY
This monthsrsquo feature beer is a beer we recently started offering in the Stone Arch Tap Room It is our first imported beer which is a bit outside our box Itrsquos called Rosetta a fruit ale that was aged on cher-ries By style definition it is a traditional Belgian Kriek beer Brewed in Belgium by Liefmanrsquos Brewery for their sister brewery Ommegang located in Cooperstown New York More about the breweries after we take a good look at the beer itself
The label on this libation is very clean and basic An image of three cherries pop out in the center of the label which is topped by the familiar Ommegang logo With the use of green and the red from the cherries it almost has a Christmas feel to it although it has nothing to do with the holiday
What we really like about the content of the label is that they display the recom-mended serving temperature as well as the ideal glass from which to enjoy it When tasting this brew our team followed their recommendation in using a stemmed glass with a narrow mouth and wide body which holds most of the aromatics in until the very end
It pours a bit fizzy from the higher carbonation level but isnrsquot so much so that it overflows the glass The off-white head drops quickly to a thin layer that lasted for the whole experience The appearance is inviting as the dark chestnut amber fluid flows The nose is primarily sweet and sour cherry with some earthy malt tones sneak-ing in behind A Belgian yeast note can be detected followed up by a slight caramel scent The effervescent sourness hits your palate first with a cherry sweet finish that soon follows
The Stone Arch Brew Team varied in the pungency of the cherries Some said it was a bit overpowering where others felt that is was a nice compliment What was universal is the opinion that the sweettart aspect was very well balanced and quite
pleasing Although the alcohol by volume is only 56 a slight alcohol note can be noticed as the sweetness fades away Often fruit beers are too fruit forward with the beer flavor just an afterthought That is not the case with this one beer flavors still shine through the cherry layers The finish is uncharacteristic for a Kriek in being a bit sweet The sourness is predominately in the nose and initial taste and tends to lead the way for the sweetness to finish off very clean and drinkable nonetheless
When the brew team was asked for good pairings for this beer we all jumped on the famous Stone Cellar Biergarten salad as a perfect fit Most salads and lighter fare would also do well with the Rosetta especially with softer cheeses infused Ice cream cheesecakes and cherry chip cookies were also suggested as good pairings but let it be noted itrsquos a good stand-alone beer as well
Now letrsquos get into the nuts and bolts of the breweries involved Liefmanrsquos Brewery made this Kriek style beer specifically for its sister brewery Ommegang The name Rosetta is in honor of the first women Bel-gian BrewmasterhellipMadame Rosa Merckx who was a former Brewmaster with Liefmanrsquos Brewery What these skilled brewers did to make this beer was to add a perfect blend of a new Flemish Brown Ale to a Flemish Brown Ale that is ldquooldrdquo (oud bruin) and aged on cherries for at least three years The resulting complexity can only be achieved by this very patient approach Rosetta is available in 112 ounce brown bottles and can be purchased throughout Ommegangrsquos distribution ter-ritory of 44 states Wisconsin being one of them
Ommegang got their start in 1997 when two folks who owned Vanberg amp Dewulf Beer Import Company teamed up with three family owned Belgian breweries that they developed strong relationships with through the years Vanberg amp Dewulf are self-proclaimed Belgian beer experts and built their business motto on import-
ing the very rich and unique beers Belgium has to offer They combined their efforts by building a beautiful brewery based on a traditional Belgian Farmhouse The land they chose for their venture was a 136-acre property that was once a hop farm and is located in the Susquehanna River Valley four miles south of Cooperstown New York
The all-too-familiar consolidation phase hit Belgium strong and the three partnered Belgian breweries were absorbed by larger corporations This prompted the Vanberg amp Dewulf people to sell their shares of Ommegang in 2003 to the Belgian brewer Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat is best known for brewing Duvel Golden Ale which is a world-renowned Belgian beer Ommegang has grown rapidly since their inception and
in 2005 added the necessary equipment to increase their annual capacity by 40 With so much property and a beautiful building many events are hosted from lsquobeer-cationsrsquo to bike races to beer festivals Ommegang Brewery should be a destina-tion on all beer lovers bucket lists
FINAL WORD Easy drinking effer-vescence with a complex sweet and tart cherry flavor profile Totally worth it

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FOOD amp DRINK BREWMASTER
Ommegang Brewery amp Liefmanrsquos Brewery Rosetta - Fruit AleBY STEVE LONSWAY
This monthsrsquo feature beer is a beer we recently started offering in the Stone Arch Tap Room It is our first imported beer which is a bit outside our box Itrsquos called Rosetta a fruit ale that was aged on cher-ries By style definition it is a traditional Belgian Kriek beer Brewed in Belgium by Liefmanrsquos Brewery for their sister brewery Ommegang located in Cooperstown New York More about the breweries after we take a good look at the beer itself
The label on this libation is very clean and basic An image of three cherries pop out in the center of the label which is topped by the familiar Ommegang logo With the use of green and the red from the cherries it almost has a Christmas feel to it although it has nothing to do with the holiday
What we really like about the content of the label is that they display the recom-mended serving temperature as well as the ideal glass from which to enjoy it When tasting this brew our team followed their recommendation in using a stemmed glass with a narrow mouth and wide body which holds most of the aromatics in until the very end
It pours a bit fizzy from the higher carbonation level but isnrsquot so much so that it overflows the glass The off-white head drops quickly to a thin layer that lasted for the whole experience The appearance is inviting as the dark chestnut amber fluid flows The nose is primarily sweet and sour cherry with some earthy malt tones sneak-ing in behind A Belgian yeast note can be detected followed up by a slight caramel scent The effervescent sourness hits your palate first with a cherry sweet finish that soon follows
The Stone Arch Brew Team varied in the pungency of the cherries Some said it was a bit overpowering where others felt that is was a nice compliment What was universal is the opinion that the sweettart aspect was very well balanced and quite
pleasing Although the alcohol by volume is only 56 a slight alcohol note can be noticed as the sweetness fades away Often fruit beers are too fruit forward with the beer flavor just an afterthought That is not the case with this one beer flavors still shine through the cherry layers The finish is uncharacteristic for a Kriek in being a bit sweet The sourness is predominately in the nose and initial taste and tends to lead the way for the sweetness to finish off very clean and drinkable nonetheless
When the brew team was asked for good pairings for this beer we all jumped on the famous Stone Cellar Biergarten salad as a perfect fit Most salads and lighter fare would also do well with the Rosetta especially with softer cheeses infused Ice cream cheesecakes and cherry chip cookies were also suggested as good pairings but let it be noted itrsquos a good stand-alone beer as well
Now letrsquos get into the nuts and bolts of the breweries involved Liefmanrsquos Brewery made this Kriek style beer specifically for its sister brewery Ommegang The name Rosetta is in honor of the first women Bel-gian BrewmasterhellipMadame Rosa Merckx who was a former Brewmaster with Liefmanrsquos Brewery What these skilled brewers did to make this beer was to add a perfect blend of a new Flemish Brown Ale to a Flemish Brown Ale that is ldquooldrdquo (oud bruin) and aged on cherries for at least three years The resulting complexity can only be achieved by this very patient approach Rosetta is available in 112 ounce brown bottles and can be purchased throughout Ommegangrsquos distribution ter-ritory of 44 states Wisconsin being one of them
Ommegang got their start in 1997 when two folks who owned Vanberg amp Dewulf Beer Import Company teamed up with three family owned Belgian breweries that they developed strong relationships with through the years Vanberg amp Dewulf are self-proclaimed Belgian beer experts and built their business motto on import-
ing the very rich and unique beers Belgium has to offer They combined their efforts by building a beautiful brewery based on a traditional Belgian Farmhouse The land they chose for their venture was a 136-acre property that was once a hop farm and is located in the Susquehanna River Valley four miles south of Cooperstown New York
The all-too-familiar consolidation phase hit Belgium strong and the three partnered Belgian breweries were absorbed by larger corporations This prompted the Vanberg amp Dewulf people to sell their shares of Ommegang in 2003 to the Belgian brewer Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat is best known for brewing Duvel Golden Ale which is a world-renowned Belgian beer Ommegang has grown rapidly since their inception and
in 2005 added the necessary equipment to increase their annual capacity by 40 With so much property and a beautiful building many events are hosted from lsquobeer-cationsrsquo to bike races to beer festivals Ommegang Brewery should be a destina-tion on all beer lovers bucket lists
FINAL WORD Easy drinking effer-vescence with a complex sweet and tart cherry flavor profile Totally worth it

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo
The show is at the Lettie Jensen Com-munity Center in Amherst Wisconsin

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FOOD amp DRINK BREWMASTER
Ommegang Brewery amp Liefmanrsquos Brewery Rosetta - Fruit AleBY STEVE LONSWAY
This monthsrsquo feature beer is a beer we recently started offering in the Stone Arch Tap Room It is our first imported beer which is a bit outside our box Itrsquos called Rosetta a fruit ale that was aged on cher-ries By style definition it is a traditional Belgian Kriek beer Brewed in Belgium by Liefmanrsquos Brewery for their sister brewery Ommegang located in Cooperstown New York More about the breweries after we take a good look at the beer itself
The label on this libation is very clean and basic An image of three cherries pop out in the center of the label which is topped by the familiar Ommegang logo With the use of green and the red from the cherries it almost has a Christmas feel to it although it has nothing to do with the holiday
What we really like about the content of the label is that they display the recom-mended serving temperature as well as the ideal glass from which to enjoy it When tasting this brew our team followed their recommendation in using a stemmed glass with a narrow mouth and wide body which holds most of the aromatics in until the very end
It pours a bit fizzy from the higher carbonation level but isnrsquot so much so that it overflows the glass The off-white head drops quickly to a thin layer that lasted for the whole experience The appearance is inviting as the dark chestnut amber fluid flows The nose is primarily sweet and sour cherry with some earthy malt tones sneak-ing in behind A Belgian yeast note can be detected followed up by a slight caramel scent The effervescent sourness hits your palate first with a cherry sweet finish that soon follows
The Stone Arch Brew Team varied in the pungency of the cherries Some said it was a bit overpowering where others felt that is was a nice compliment What was universal is the opinion that the sweettart aspect was very well balanced and quite
pleasing Although the alcohol by volume is only 56 a slight alcohol note can be noticed as the sweetness fades away Often fruit beers are too fruit forward with the beer flavor just an afterthought That is not the case with this one beer flavors still shine through the cherry layers The finish is uncharacteristic for a Kriek in being a bit sweet The sourness is predominately in the nose and initial taste and tends to lead the way for the sweetness to finish off very clean and drinkable nonetheless
When the brew team was asked for good pairings for this beer we all jumped on the famous Stone Cellar Biergarten salad as a perfect fit Most salads and lighter fare would also do well with the Rosetta especially with softer cheeses infused Ice cream cheesecakes and cherry chip cookies were also suggested as good pairings but let it be noted itrsquos a good stand-alone beer as well
Now letrsquos get into the nuts and bolts of the breweries involved Liefmanrsquos Brewery made this Kriek style beer specifically for its sister brewery Ommegang The name Rosetta is in honor of the first women Bel-gian BrewmasterhellipMadame Rosa Merckx who was a former Brewmaster with Liefmanrsquos Brewery What these skilled brewers did to make this beer was to add a perfect blend of a new Flemish Brown Ale to a Flemish Brown Ale that is ldquooldrdquo (oud bruin) and aged on cherries for at least three years The resulting complexity can only be achieved by this very patient approach Rosetta is available in 112 ounce brown bottles and can be purchased throughout Ommegangrsquos distribution ter-ritory of 44 states Wisconsin being one of them
Ommegang got their start in 1997 when two folks who owned Vanberg amp Dewulf Beer Import Company teamed up with three family owned Belgian breweries that they developed strong relationships with through the years Vanberg amp Dewulf are self-proclaimed Belgian beer experts and built their business motto on import-
ing the very rich and unique beers Belgium has to offer They combined their efforts by building a beautiful brewery based on a traditional Belgian Farmhouse The land they chose for their venture was a 136-acre property that was once a hop farm and is located in the Susquehanna River Valley four miles south of Cooperstown New York
The all-too-familiar consolidation phase hit Belgium strong and the three partnered Belgian breweries were absorbed by larger corporations This prompted the Vanberg amp Dewulf people to sell their shares of Ommegang in 2003 to the Belgian brewer Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat is best known for brewing Duvel Golden Ale which is a world-renowned Belgian beer Ommegang has grown rapidly since their inception and
in 2005 added the necessary equipment to increase their annual capacity by 40 With so much property and a beautiful building many events are hosted from lsquobeer-cationsrsquo to bike races to beer festivals Ommegang Brewery should be a destina-tion on all beer lovers bucket lists
FINAL WORD Easy drinking effer-vescence with a complex sweet and tart cherry flavor profile Totally worth it

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house
Dave Steffen is called to the WAMI Hall

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo
The show is at the Lettie Jensen Com-munity Center in Amherst Wisconsin

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

FINE ARTS PIERRE HENRI MATISSE
The Fox Citiesrsquo recently unveiled ldquocreative vortexrdquo known as The Draw has opened its doors to the artwork of 88 year old French born artist Pierre H Matisse grandson of Modern Master Henri Matisse one of the most iconic and influ-ential artists of the 20th century Matissersquos 2016 ldquoFreedom amp Love Tourrdquo begins in Appleton Wisconsin with its kick-off exhibit through April 22 at the Feather amp Bone Gallery at The Draw nestled on Appletonrsquos Fox River
The community art experience includes hands-on art projects for kids live music guest speakers and more A mixed media assortment of Matissersquos original works will include boldly hued oil paintings cut-outs and lithographs The exhibit is free to the public Donations will be accepted at the door for which net proceeds will go to supporting arts education in the Appleton Area School District
Matissersquos paintings are unmistakably inspired by his home country and famous lineage His works are immersed in bold color sensually vibrant French imagery and joie de vivre The majority of Pierrersquos works are oil paintings executed with a pal-ette knife in a heavy impasto technique He also has mastered the cut-out technique in many ways a homage to his grandfather
ldquoI use my art to express my appreciation of freedom and loverdquo says Matisse ldquoThe Fox Cities is not a large venue but it is a quality venue Over the past few months it became apparent to me that the commu-nity wishes to offer more opportunities for those interested in art to learn that there is an artist in all of us creativity is in our spiritual DNA By applying imagination and energy we create This is the first step toward critical thinking and is why the sessions being held for the children are extremely important to me I am delighted that my work will be shown in such a qual-ity diverse and positive environmentrdquo
ldquoI encourage visitors to pay particular attention to my Circle of Love a linocut print It depicts the mother and infant child in loving embrace This child is the miraculous manifestation of the love of its parents - truly a circle of love where the soul begins to be nurturedrdquo
ldquoThe work of art is created by hand carving on a lino plate preparing the paper with the correct level of moisture Then applying ink to the plate being hand pulled by me as the artist to register the print
The substrate I have chosen for the lino-cut prints is 400lb rough cut cold press deckled edge Arches paper The history of Arches starts in 1492 just as Columbus was discovering the New World Arches completed the amalgamation of the paper-making facilities around the village of Arches South of Epinal in Francerdquo
ldquoPerhaps the Paper Valley is a distant relative of this town in France where this paper company thrives to this very dayrdquo
Jean Detjen Artist Representative for the exhibit saw a perfect fit in bringing Matissersquos art to Appleton
ldquoThe growing Fox Cities art scene is incredibly vibrantrdquo Detjen said ldquoand our creative community spirit has a very embracing nature Pierrersquos art is all about celebrating freedom and love despite lifersquos challenges and inevitable tragedies Creat-ing art can help process what we sense in the world so we can make sense of it This is a wonderful and important thing to teach our childrenrdquo
Exhibit partners agreeldquoItrsquos an honor to have someone who
cares so much about art education music and who is so vibrant at his agerdquo said John Adams Curator and Manager of The Draw who also oversees the on-site Feather amp Bone main gallery with friend and business partner Cory Chisel ldquoWe are excited to show his work and continue his message of love and happinessrdquo
Creative outlets and influences helped form Matissersquos own innovation and vision as an artist One of the paintings to be dis-played actually rotates 360 degrees on the wall by means of an invention engineered by the artist himself In each corner his signature is visible so that the viewer may display it any way he likes and it will look correct

ARTIST BIOWho is Pierre Matisse The answer
seems to be as complex as his life With a most extraordinary view of the world Pierre has brought his journey into focus using art to express his varied experiences Itrsquos no surprise that his work reflects pas-sion beauty joy love and freedom One is drawn to Pierrersquos work because of its inten-sity power and depth of color however on closer inspection the drama of the scene plays out until it feels as though you are part of the picture
As with most projects first there needs to be an idea In this particular instance Pierre H Matisse The Idea Man is also an integral part of the story
Pierre was born to artist parents in Paris on February 1st 1928 His father Jean Matisse was a sculptor his mother Louise Milhau was a painter sculptor and ceramist He grew up immersed in the world of art being the grandson of Henri Matisse Pierrersquos childhood involved the artistic life of Paris and the French Riviera The Matisse family often moved ldquoentouragerdquo from one location to another in France and Spain during his early years He had the opportunity to meet and spend time among some of the most famous artists of this century Pablo Picasso Georges Braque Aristide Maillol Jean Effel Salvador Dali Pierre Bonnard Marcel Duchamp Henri Matisse Fernand Leger Maurice De Vlaminck and Auguste Lumiegravere
As a teenager he was involved in a world that dealt with cruelty intrigue horror and the destruction of war Both Pierre and his father Jean Matisse were heavily involved in French underground activities Before the war ended his grand-mother and aunt had been imprisoned for their subversive activities Both Pierre and his father were on the run from the Nazis for their efforts in aiding the British spies and saboteurs Occasionally they engaged in their own sabotage efforts Some of these stories are amazing
At the age of sixteen on D-Day during the invasion Pierre found himself in Normandy forty miles from the land-ing beaches Once liberated he served as translator between the British and French authorities He then volunteered serving in co-operation with the British military transport to repatriate the French civilian refugees displaced by the Normandy battle
When the war ended he worked in the restoration of the art and historical monu-ments damaged by the war in France At nineteen he volunteered for a French commando paratrooper outfit engaged in North Africa Half of his group was sent to Indochina Pierre fought in Algeria Even-tually earning a PhD in antique furniture restoration and authentification after his return from duty
He is quite an adventurer both a sailor and a pilot He dreaded the memory of war and in the early 50rsquos struck out to
Canada with his family He was a settler in the wilderness of the Canadian frontier Now as a citizen of the United States Pierre is international in his thinking with ties to France and Canada He has a variety of societies in his ancestry French some traceable back to Charlemagne German and Spanish in fact some of his ancestors were Mediterranean pirates
Pierre is a man who has not lost the sense of wonder of life inquisitive full of energy and open to every possibility sure in his knowledge of himself truly his own self
As an artist Pierre has always pursued his work in a generous manner Giving an entire series of Florida landscapes to the Deland Museum which have become a part of their permanent collection These paint-ings were executed in the 70rsquos to record for future generations an ecology on the St Johnrsquos River that is quickly disappearing He has also given or created commissioned pieces to help many other organizations such as Project Hope The American Red Cross Variety Clubs International The National Epilepsy Foundation Music Educators National Conference and Fame UNICEF Orphans foundation The Sun-rise Childrenrsquos Hospital of Las Vegas The Arnold Palmer Childrenrsquos Hospital The Denver Childrenrsquos Hospital Make-A-Wish Foundation A Community of Angels The United Nationrsquos Womenrsquos Guild Code Amber Organization The Boggy Creek Gang The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang and many others
After twenty years as a cartographic manager for a government agency Pierre to put it in his own words ldquoretired from conventional workrdquo
For a character like him idleness is an anathema so now Pierre is using his cre-ative talent and boundless energy painting writing teaching and refining an art form known as cuts outs and translating differ-ent mediums into new avant-garde mixed media Today the dream and plans for this new artistic exploration and using his art to help others has become the driving force in Pierrersquos life Above all Pierre believes in freedomas do all artistsFor more information contactJean DetjenArtist Representative for Pierre H Matissejeandetjensbcglobalnet 9205746841

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo
The show is at the Lettie Jensen Com-munity Center in Amherst Wisconsin

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out

JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Growing up in Plymouth Wisconsin in 1951 there wasnrsquot a lot a 6 year old could do to occupy his time When Dave Steffen and his family moved to the Crystal Lake area he says he was a loner who liked to run away from school at recess
ldquoI was pretty much out of the main streamrdquo Dave said ldquoI was shy and when I got off the bus I was pretty much by myself and there wasnrsquot really anyone around I had a basketball hoop so I was pretty good at hoops but music was what I liked and the guitar is what I lovedrdquo
Dave had older sisters who were into Dick Clarkrsquos American Bandstand
ldquoIt was there that I was first introduced to the likes of Chuck Berryrdquo Dave said ldquoThe Ventures Everly Brothers Pretty much any group or performer that played guitars I was into I liked the Rock and Roll side of things So for me my lsquoguitar lifersquo began at age sixrdquo
Like many youngsters Dave got a toy guitar for Christmas and his parents were very supportive of his musical passion But he didnrsquot get his first real guitar lesson until he was ten
ldquoMy folks rented it from a guy by the name of Joe Champeau from whom I took lessonsrdquo Dave said ldquoHe lived about 20 miles from the Sheboygan area I canrsquot remember what type of guitar it was and I think my folks paid like $2 or $3 for the rental My first lesson I flat out stunk (laugh) In fact my parents told me I didnrsquot have lsquoitrsquo But after that first lesson I went back home and basically practiced my guitar until my fingers bled I was ticked off I was not a natural But I came back after the first week and I blew everybody away At ten years old I was totally deter-minedrdquo
Playing the guitar may seem easy for those who watch Dave Steffen play but itrsquos hard And even Dave didnrsquot realize how hard
ldquoTo this day when I teach students the first timerdquo he said ldquoI recognize all over again how hard it is Itrsquos not like a piano where you can play a single clear note
You have to work at it your fingers get cal-loused muscles have to do things they have never done before It looks easy on TVrdquo
Daversquos bullheaded determination led to his first performance
ldquoMy instructors were so impressed with my enthusiasm and quick progressrdquo Dave said ldquothey put me in the lsquostudio recitalrsquo after just three weeks I was one of the last kids to perform there were like fifty students It was in a hall and I played lsquoBlue Tail Flyrsquo I screwed up the first measures so I started over again I was nervous it was my first time on stage But I was already headlining (laugh) And the studio was using me as an example of what can happen when you work hardrdquo
All these many years later Daversquos hard work and countless gigs have resulted in his being inducted into the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) hall of fame
ldquoI was shocked when I got the newsrdquo Dave said ldquoI was never even mentioned for and of the WAMIrsquos prior to this (laugh) But this is an honor and Irsquom really happy and humbled by thisrdquo
Daversquos never been big on accoladesldquoIrsquom just not a guy who likes folks
making a fussrdquo he said ldquothese big events Irsquom still mostly a loner and not into big celebrations Irsquom just happy to still be playing my guitar working and doing what I loverdquo
Daversquos the first to say he wasnrsquot a natu-ral but he had learned some music from his dad who had his own big band
ldquoThe Roy Steffen Bandrdquo Dave said ldquoa twelve-piece band that played all the Glenn Miller-like standards They toured all over the Milwaukee and southern Wisconsin area I remember my dad telling me about when they came to Cedar Lake to play a wedding and found out they had to play polkas and they didnrsquot know any polkas (laugh) they ended up having to pull out some sheet music in a hurryrdquo
Dave continued to take lessons once a week He would spend a lot of time listen-ing to ldquoguitar stuffrdquo picking it up by ear And that led into Daversquos first gig at age 14 with his group ldquoThe Wanderersrdquo
ldquoIt was during Road America at the Pit
and Paddockrdquo Dave said ldquoback in 1965 We had to have our parents there since we were all under age We played some Beatles Hermanrsquos Hermits Irsquoll never forget that night because I had an lsquoawakeninglsquo We were playing when all of a sudden out of nowhere there was a chick who came out of the crowd climbed up on our piano and started dancing and taking off her clothes And thatrsquos when I realized I was going to keep practicing guitar because this business is for mersquo (laugh)rdquo
In 1968 Dave put together another band called Love Society They took the song ldquoDo You Wanna Dancerdquo by Bobby Freeman and gave it more of their own sound and entered a Battle of the Bands where agent Al Posniak from Target Pro-ductions heard it and wanted to record them
ldquoIt actually became a hit locallyrdquo Dave said ldquoand we had a bidding war between three or four companies who wanted to sign us We eventually signed with Scepter Records which at the time had a singer by the name of Dionne Warwick signed to the label The song made Top 10 across the country we landed a manager got a Grey-hound bus and we were off We toured Did a live show on WLS radio in Chicago did a show for TV called ldquoUpbeatrdquo which was out of Clevelandrdquo
They were on a roll Then came the realization that they needed another hit
ldquoWe tried doing a follow uprdquo Dave said ldquobut we were kids We were getting into heavier music Against our managerrsquos will we did a song called Tobacco Road a psychedelic version of it which to this day I still think sounds cool but it wasnrsquot a good business move We ended up getting a contract with RCA at the time located at 1 Wacker Drive in Chicago and we recorded an album there We had one hit ldquoBang on Your Own Drumrdquo which was getting airplay but no sales due in part to a ship-ping or trucking strike or something There were no records to be found in the storesrdquo
It was in 1974 when Sun Blind Lion was formed out of the Love Society and with it came that harder edge sound They recorded an album at Sound 80 Studios in
Minneapolis Bob Dylan had just recorded lsquoBlood on the Tracksrsquo there two weeks prior
ldquoIt was at Sound 80 where lsquoJamaican Holidayrsquo was recorded in just a few daysrdquo Dave said ldquoit was a regional hit in 1976 We were doing a lot of midwest touring Scott Rivard was the engineer and he also was the engineer for Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion Record compa-nies were coming to see us and we almost got signed But they had a different idea of what they wanted us to be Spandex pants and all thatthey were looking for a lsquofor-mularsquo That was not our style We decided we couldnrsquot be something we werenrsquotrdquo
Sun Blind Lion kept gigging until about 1979
ldquoAnd then in rsquo80 I decided it was time to follow my guitar playing and blues rock rootsrdquo Dave said ldquoAnd we started the Dave Steffen Band Back then you made lsquocassettesrsquo instead of vinyl albums In rsquo81 we recorded in Sheboygan In rsquo82 we did another studio album in Waupun at Madison Street Studio Nick Kazulka the engineer there did a fantastic job He had an old sound board that Jimmy Hendrix has once used it sounded killer And it wasnrsquot just the board but also Kuzulkarsquos engineering on that album was brilliantrdquo
Then California calledldquoI had this friend Don Burhop who
lived in San Franciscordquo Dave said ldquoand he was doing the lighting for Jefferson Star-ship Santana Grateful Dead bands like that He told me lsquoDave you gotta come out herersquo He invited us to come out We were playing a few gigs in some smaller bars at the time here until in January of 85rsquo we finally thought wersquod give California a try for a while We loaded up the Chevy van and headed for the coast That lsquofew month triprsquo turned into 10 yearsrdquo
The band got by on very littleldquoIt was not easyrdquo Dave said ldquo for quite
a while we lived off a sack of potatoes (laugh) I mean there are only so many ways you can make a sack of potatoes into something appetizingrdquo
They lived at Burhoprsquos house

ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo
The show is at the Lettie Jensen Com-munity Center in Amherst Wisconsin

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT DAVE STEFFEN
ldquoHe took us in And that cassette album we recorded in Waupunit opened a few doors and we ended up opening for The Tubes Santana Robin Trower We entered a Battle of Bands took 2nd place we got to be known but it took time and it was not easyrdquo
True to his Wisconsin roots Dave always returned in the summer months
ldquoThat blue Chevy van went more than 600000 milesrdquo Dave said ldquoit never rusted thanks to the California weather so we just kept dropping in a new engines and trannyrsquos when we needed tordquo (laugh) We met a lot of great folks in California hang-ing out in Marin County like Huey Lewis and the News Carlos Santana guys from the Dead It was exciting thrilling but we never really got the lsquobig dealrsquo we always wantedrdquo
Dave moved back to Wisconsin in 1995 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer
ldquoI came back to take care of herrdquo Dave said ldquoitrsquos what you dordquo
Dave misses California and its vibrant music scene but as he says ldquothe times were
changing out there and wersquove been able to carry on what we love here in Wisconsinrdquo
Playing the blues guitar is what he knows
ldquoIrsquom not getting wealthyrdquo Dave said ldquoI have a buddy of mine that does some yard work and Irsquoll occasionally help him out I call it lsquoraking for the richrsquo (laugh) to give my muscles a work out But music is my love And Irsquom making a living playingrdquo
Dave will be the first to tell you he couldnrsquot do what hersquos done without a core group of performers and friends
ldquoCraig Neuser has been with me since we did our Hawaii gigrdquo Dave said ldquoHe was 19 at the time so itrsquos been 20 years I was teaching Craigrsquos brother at the time and I was doing an acoustic set Craig came out and played with me and he played pretty good and the dude could sing which was a bonus Didnrsquot take much to convince him to come along to Hawaii We also have Spencer Panosh who was Craigrsquos good friend from Whitelaw Wisconsin and I really liked his drumming and I loved how he and Craig worked together so well He joined Reverend Raven for awhile but came back 10 years ago Spencer is very
talented and a natural drummer So when you match that up with the voice that Craig has you get something special They are reliable with no baggage these guys are straight forward guysrdquo
Dave also co-fronts another version of the Dave Steffen Band called The String Benders a quartet including two acoustic guitars drums and a bass
ldquoRuss Reiser sings and plays acousticrdquo Dave said ldquohe started the Benders as a part time band I joined him along with Ron
Kalista on drums and Craig Neuser on stand-up fiddlerdquo
So into the WAMI Hall of Fame goes Dave Steffen
ldquoIrsquom humbledrdquo Dave said ldquoThey told me it has a lot to do with my body of work but I think part of it is because Irsquom still lsquohanging aroundrsquo (laugh) hang in long enoughhey somebody will recognize you (laugh)rdquo

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo
The show is at the Lettie Jensen Com-munity Center in Amherst Wisconsin

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo
The show is at the Lettie Jensen Com-munity Center in Amherst Wisconsin

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT WILLY PORTER amp CARMEN NICKERSON
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Willy Porter is an extraordinary song-smith in the folk bluesy vein whose lyrics weave tales you follow as if on a pleasant walk Native to Milwaukee he thinks himself a lsquomusical carnyrsquo singing his soul-ful collection on stages around the world pausing between tunes long enough to tell stories and improvise ditties He and Carmen Nickerson have collaborated over the last several years beginning with their ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasolinerdquo CD and fol-lowed by ldquoIowa Skyrdquo In March they were featured on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Kiellor Theirs is a harmoni-ous blend
ldquoThis past December we released lsquoHuman Kindnessrsquordquo Porter said ldquohere and in the UK on my Weasel Records imprint And right now Carmen and I are about finish a new record an album of lsquoco-writesrsquo and it will debut in October of rsquo16rdquo
Carmen Nickerson grew up in rural Iowa
ldquoShersquos a fantastic singer and songwriterrdquo Porter said ldquowho had been playing in various projects including a jazz-standards duet with a wonderful Russian pianist in Milwaukee as well as having her own quartet She can sing anythingrdquo
At the urging of Porterrsquos former bass player Willy and Carmen finally con-nected musically
ldquoHe said our voices would be perfect togetherrdquo Porter said ldquoI listened to her music and lo and behold it did work and she is great I have sort of a unique voice in some ways but our blend has been great and wersquove become good friends and good writing partnersrdquo
Willyrsquos interest in music began earlyldquoMy folks were fairly musicalrdquo Porter
said ldquoMy dad played jazz piano as a hobby but was a pretty good player There was always a lot of music in the house growing up And a lot of encouragement to play music I started out on the viola and then in 3rd or 4th grade I discovered
the guitar and I never really thought about anything else since I really wanted to be a classical musician but I realized rather quickly when my friends who were really really good were going to camps for classi-cal music how difficult it is All I wanted to do was play songsrdquo
Willy majored in psychology and busi-ness administration at UW Eau Claire
ldquoI went up there because I fell in love with the campusrdquo Porter said ldquoI loved the geography of the area but more than that they have a great theater department I didnrsquot participate in it but there was a lot going on and the music school was great and I thought this is a great place to get a good liberal arts education I was com-pelled by the universityrsquos activities commis-sion and through that got involved with the great Cabin Coffee House and their open mike nights Thatrsquos when I thought I should really try to work on my own material It was a great environment to be creativerdquo
Melodies and riffs come to Porter before the lyrics
ldquoI tend to trust the guitar so Irsquoll go to the guitar firstrdquo he said ldquoI do a lot of writ-ing by just rolling tape Irsquoll just record as I go meanderings mumblings then go back later in the day and see if therersquos anything there For me the main objective is to trust whatever is within me and just let it out A lot of times itrsquos just dreck and I donrsquot want to deal with it or itrsquos not very musi-cal But sometimes Irsquoll find these threads and theyrsquore sometimes worth working on Songs come from everywhere from seeing how other people are dealing with the stresses and structures of their lives as well as how you tackle you own things I tend to be more interested in the observational point of viewrdquo
Porterrsquos current CD ldquoHuman Kind-nessrdquo was made over the course of three years
ldquoThe songs from the lsquoCheeseburgerrsquo album were pulled from that project because they were so differentrdquo Porter said ldquoCheeseburgers amp Gasoline felt like it was
a project unto itself and for the Human Kindness record I decided to write a few more tunes that were more band-oriented and the result was the two projects over that span of timerdquo
The album Porter is currently working on due in the fall he says is quite a bit different
ldquoItrsquos Carmenrsquos and my combined lsquovoicersquo which is different than mine on my own certainlyrdquo Porter said ldquoA lot of the songs are relationship based Wersquore both old enough to have a pretty solid perspective on the ebb and flow of relationships So therersquos some dialogue pieces there are some tunes about lsquothings working outrsquoor not Its emotional landscape is rich because of Carmenrsquos perspective I think itrsquos a broader view than some of my writing which can be a little more constrained lsquotopicallyrsquo In
that regard it will be an interesting albumrdquoExpect a cross section of music on April
30thldquoSongs from my catalog as well as many
of the co-writes from the new recordrdquo Porter said ldquoPlus wersquoll perform brand new songs that arenrsquot on the record Itrsquos been a prolific time (laugh) Itrsquos a fun show when Carmen and I get together with some interesting balance to it musicallyrdquo
The show is at the Lettie Jensen Com-munity Center in Amherst Wisconsin

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo
John Brandel is currently selling his book out of the trunk of his car

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT DE-FERMENTED MIND
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In college John Brandel majored in microbiology so maybe thatrsquos where his interest in all things fermented was borne Maybe
More likely it began in the early 80rsquos when he and his four best buddies began visiting craft breweries which at the time were something very few even knew existed
Hersquos written and self-published a chron-icle of his worldwide travels and tastings of all things fermented including beer cider sahti winepretty much any ldquoliquid whose chemicals are broken down by bacteria yeasts or other microorganisms typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat or whose sugars are converted to ethyl alcoholrdquo
ldquoThe book isnrsquot exclusively a com-pilation of drunken tales of me and my friendsrdquo Brandel said ldquothose are included (laugh) but itrsquos also about geography and history of the towns we visited the brewer-ies a review of beers we drank although this also is not a hyper-critical breakdown of any one beer and why it was better than another Itrsquos not lsquoThis place had the best IPA I ever tastedrsquo Itrsquos more lsquoThe beer was really good yoursquove got to one day visit Pembine Wisconsin and see the brewery theyrsquove wedged into about 30-square feet of building and there was a cute waitress there that nightrsquordquo
History is woven throughout as Bran-del has visited 18 countries sampling and writing writing and sampling
ldquoBelieve it or not therersquos a brewery not far from where the Spandau Prison was in western Berlinrdquo Brandel said ldquowhere Rudolph Hess was imprisonedrdquo
This book is the first of what may end up being a series
ldquoAfter a visit with a teacher of mine from high school Mr Cooperrdquo Brandel said ldquowho has self-published a book of his own on 8-man football he suggested to me that what I have is more than an interest-ing hobby and that maybe I should lsquopick up on itrsquo So every night Irsquod start writing about a town or a beer and suddenly I had chapter after chapter Irsquove managed to get 350 breweries that I visited into De-Fermented Mind it was originally 694 breweries but my editor said I needed to rein it inrdquo
His second book will be about the bal-ance of the 694 breweries and Brandelrsquos
third will be about 300-plus breweries that took him beyond the 1000 mark
This fascination began while working for 3M and living in Dallas Texas Bran-del joined a beer tasting group called the Bavarian Stein Club
ldquoJust a bunch of us like-minded people would get together every Saturdayrdquo Bran-del said ldquoand we were from all over the country One friend from Maine had been tracking his beers and taking notes and he asked me what my lsquolife-listrsquo of breweries looked like Hell if I knew I was already a couple hundred breweries in when I decided I wanted to visit breweries in every state I traveled a lot for work so I started plotting trips with my frequent flier miles Any one weekend Irsquod hop on a plane for example to sayHartford Connecticut and hit 15 breweries Jot some notes and cross that state off the list The next trip was to Kiln Mississippi Brett Favrersquos hometown which isnrsquot far from New Orleansso why not do both Suddenly I was obsessed with going to new placesrdquo
Soon Brandelrsquos wanderlust turned international
ldquoThere were some beer festivals in Canadardquo he said ldquoI found one in Saskatch-ewan and Winnipeg and from there I found one in Halifax so I went there I started clicking off the different provinces and thought lsquoWell I have to get up to the Yukonrsquo So thatrsquos where I wentrdquo
One day Brandel read a story about sahti and how itrsquos made with Juniper berries
ldquoI was off to Finlandrdquo Brandel said ldquofor more research (laugh) And my family background is Belgian German and Polish so I started doing some genealogy visiting those countries and visited brew-eries Everywhere I go I make it a point to seek out breweries And they keep popping up There are something like 4000 craft beer producers in the United States so to have reached more than a thousand on my own Irsquom barely skimming the surface For me itrsquos the experience of going to these places not judging one beer over another rather to find these entrepreneurial people who maybe gave up on corporate America to follow their dream and brew beerrdquo
Many of the trips Brandel set out on his own but a good many were also shared with his mother Virginia
ldquoAfter my father Arnie passed away in 1985rdquo Brandel said ldquomy mom who
was more a cocktail drinker who liked her Old Fashionedrsquos was suddenly alone and as a way to get her out of the house Irsquod sometimes take her along And suddenly she started getting into the craft beers and she loved being out with new people and the next thing I knew she was becoming a fanatic about it and started jotting her lsquolife-listrsquo and taking her notes like what was on the food menu or who she talked to this or that particular night and her anecdotal stories became part of the book A month before she passed away we had gone to a couple breweries together in Illi-nois We counted and she had gone with me to fourteen different states and 230 breweries before she passedrdquo
Johnrsquos circle of friends with whom he gathers for many fermented sojourns are Jim Davies Pat McBride Nick Bell and Larry Cohen
ldquoIrsquove known these guys since child-hoodrdquo Brandel said ldquoand us getting together because all our lives have taken us on different geographic paths usually hap-
pens over the Thanksgiving holiday Wersquove been all over together Nick got married in Italy so off we went We arenrsquot all always able to make it wersquove been doing this for 34 years and with marriages kids and curve balls life throws sometimes itrsquos only a couple of the lsquogangrsquo that get togetherrdquo
A De Fermented Mind is part travel-ogue part historical cultural stream of consciousness a memoir of stories from the beer soaked road sort of a Hunter S Thompson meets Norm and Cliff at Cheers
ldquoEach chapter is a lsquotourrsquo of breweriesrdquo Brandel said ldquobut they segue into trips to museums historical sites strip joints (not with my mom) therersquos foolishness laugh-ter maybe yoursquoll learn something Itrsquos not so much about the beer as it is about the people Irsquove met and the life experiences Irsquove enjoyed along the wayrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass

LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT THE EVOLUTION OF ROB ANTHONY
BY JILLIAN DAWSON
If you happen to follow Rob Anthony on social media you have likely seen a handful of old lsquothrowbackrsquo photos ripe with quintessential 80rsquos hair bleached out down his back with a clean-shaven face
ldquoI started playing electric guitar in the 80rsquosrdquo Anthony said ldquoa far cry from where I am now I learned to play guitar from popular metal bands of the day from likes of Metallica Slayer Iron Maiden and the list goes onrdquo
Itrsquos hard to imagine the bearded Anthony a musician best known for his solo acoustic shows and recent tour experi-ence with the BoDeans started his career in a metal band at age seventeen Four years passed before Anthony picked up an acoustic guitar and branched out into songwriting
ldquoIt wasnrsquot until I matured a bitrdquo he said ldquothat I heard what people were saying in songs and how they spoke to me instead
of just the musicality of the guitar parts When I started playing acoustic guitar I started writing Americana almost country-alternative acoustic songs which ultimately led to my first solo album release and it opened a whole new world for merdquo
Since then he has released six albums each with a slightly different sound than the next
Anthony did not initially set out with the intention of creating another album though encouragement from fellow musi-cian friends gave him the nudge he needed to record his newest material The result is his latest release ldquoWhere We Arerdquo
ldquoI canrsquot speak highly enough about the guys in the bandrdquo Anthony said ldquoThe cool thing about recording is you always want to be challenged while being true to what yoursquore doing and saying We experi-mented with a lot of ideas for the songs and I trusted the guys to push me in the direction that it ended up going tordquo
One listen through the album and you
can hear his sound is still ever-evolvingldquoI had this vision of it being a very
roots-rock albumrdquo he said ldquobut it just wasnrsquot turning out that way In the end it was good because it challenged me to get past something that wasnrsquot there and ulti-mately itrsquos the album Irsquom most proud ofrdquo
How does Anthony describe what his latest effort has become
ldquoI think Irsquod have to say itrsquos an acoustic driven adult-contemporary meets Ameri-cana album with a sprinkle of Caribbean flairitrsquos definitely open to interpretationrdquo
The album was recorded at Marc Goldersquos Rock Garden Studio in Appleton where Anthony will be showcasing his newest songs for a storytellers-style live recording with a full band The studio seats about ninety people with the audience sur-rounding the band for an intimate musical experience you canrsquot find in a bar or theater
The best part ldquoEverybody in the room is there for
the musicrdquo Golde said ldquoTherersquos a different
connection and energy between the musi-cians the audience is hanging on every word and noterdquo
Performing his music live has always been an important facet to Anthonyrsquos career
ldquoSongwriting has always been my most honest way to connect with others and express myselfrdquo Anthony said ldquoshed my shell so to speakrdquo
Of the upcoming Rock Garden show he adds ldquoIt gives a nice look at what wersquove worked so hard on in between touring and performing over the past couple years As a band with the songs I wrote wersquoll reflect back to what the songs truly meant at the time they were recorded Itrsquos a spiritual moment when energies connect on a musical level and I want others to feel that experience when showcasing the talent everyone brought to the table because theyrsquore really good the songs are really good and the stories are really goodrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
Being funny is serious business for satiristcomediansocial criticplaywrightauthoractor Lewis Black He not only strives to make people laugh but is also extremely passionate about expressing his opinions about subject matter that others might find too controversial The Grammy Award winning Black takes on politics religion current events and many other topics with ease His outspoken nature reminds one of the styles of such comedic greats as Lenny Bruce and George Carlin He has been referred to as lsquothe king of the rantrsquo
Blackrsquos television series Lewis Blackrsquos The Root of All Evil ran for 18 episodes on Comedy Central until 2009 and his popular Back in Black with Lewis Black segments on The Daily Show continue today He was cast in the role of Anger in the Academy Award winning 2015 Pixar film Inside Out Black played Ezra Merkin on the acclaimed ABC miniseries Madoff in 2016 a role he is very proud of He has appeared in feature films and has done specials for HBO and he has also authored three best-selling books and written more than 40 plays
Lewis Black recently phoned me from Colorado during a massive snowstorm before a sold out show there
Jane Spietz Were you funny as a kidLewis Black I was surrounded by
funny people so that really helped me So I developed a sense of humor I picked it up from my friends I gravitated toward people who were funny
JS How did you make the switch from playwright to standup comedian
LB It wasnrsquot difficult Irsquod been writing and writing and writing and I was really beating my head against a brick wall I was tired of it In the meantime I was doing standup on the side Then we started running a small theater in the basement of a restaurant in Manhattan which had a bar in it We did theater out of there and I started introducing all of the plays We started doing one night of standup in there As I got more and more comfortable I started to develop what one would call an act That was what people seem to gravitate toward It was like all of a sudden I could make a living By the time yoursquore 40 and
yoursquore broke you kind of go lsquooh maybe I should do thisrsquo
JS Is it uncomfortable for you to let loose in front of your parents
LB No never My language doesnrsquot bother them I learned most of it from them
JS Who are some of your major come-dic influences
LB Richard Pryor Kurt Vonnegut George Carlin Lenny Bruce Paul Krass-ner Bob Newhart Bill Hicks Lily Tomlin Shelley Berman Those are pretty major There are others
JS You have described yourself as shy I find that hard to believe
LB No itrsquos true Itrsquos easier on stage I have no fear on stage Irsquom not shy if I know people but yeah Irsquom a little withdrawn
JS Are there any topics that are taboo in your routine
LB Nothing I mean I have used the word abortion to show that I canrsquot do comedy about it Thatrsquos the only topic
JS What is your favorite subject to take on
LB Stupidity Stupidity in high places stupidity in low places Stupidity in gen-eral
JS Yoursquove also talked a lot about health insurance companies in your act
LB Theyrsquore unbelievable What coun-try decides going to improve their health care system and then invites part of the problem to sit down and help them solve the problem Itrsquos senseless There always is this thing and itrsquos not just Bernie Sandersrsquo idea ndash itrsquos a basic idea Somehow therersquos this thought that business is more important than people The problem with capitalism is whether you like it or not we are living in a time when money has become more important than people And I donrsquot care what people think about that sentence by the way Irsquom tired of it Enoughrsquos enough People are really important We have to figure this out Everybody kind of wants the same thing What wersquore doing is really madness
JS Speaking of Bernie Sanders you have said that you are a Bernie supporter and a socialist
LB Everybody sees it as like lsquowell you know hersquos not going to winrsquo I think the win is having a socialist run From the time I was a kid I thought that this made more
sense I worked for Republicans to run and I worked for Democrats to run and I didnrsquot really enjoy their company There were no socialists in the neighborhood so I thought well this is good Therersquos nobody around to bother me Now yoursquove got a candidate Thatrsquos extraordinary Thatrsquos really remarkable People donrsquot realize how remarkable that is There hasnrsquot been one in my lifetime There may have been one other but this is a major candidate You take small steps I donrsquot know how people donrsquot realize that Thatrsquos the price America lives at the speed of light and we move like snails Bernie has made a huge impact
JS What do you make of the 2016 election overall Certainly therersquos a lot of fodder there among the current crop of candidates
LB I think itrsquos appalling The media has been reckless and the media has been kind of as stupid as they were during the Iraq war Trump knows how to play the media while the fact is that the media also lets Trump play them Hersquos the only
candidate who phones who calls in You donrsquot allow that They give him more time they give him more space because he says lsquostuffrsquo They certainly donrsquot know how to ask him a question They allow him to rattle on And they donrsquot put the kind of pressure on him in terms of their question-ing They just kind of let him go Itrsquos all so tiring CNN brings on this person she is a political analyst who works for the Trump campaign Well thatrsquos not a politi-cal analyst Thatrsquos someone who works for the Trump campaign A political analyst who works for Ted Cruz Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ndash theyrsquore not Irsquom tired of listening to them And you donrsquot need six of them telling you what you just saw and what it all means And theyrsquove run this thing down our throats And this isnrsquot the way it should be Itrsquos been a year that this is been going on A year Therersquos got to be an adult who finally goes lsquoEnough is enough Nobody should be doing thisrsquo Therersquos no other country on earth that subjects them to this kind of thing And meanwhile all

of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT CONCERT WATCH
of them including Bernie are discussing things that shouldrsquove been done 15 years ago 10 years ago five years ago yesterday Itrsquos ludicrous I donrsquot need to listen to a bunch of people tell me what we should be doing when we havenrsquot done it I donrsquot need a president of the future I need a president who is willing to deal with the day before yesterday Because thatrsquos when the house of cards tumbled and nobody seems to want to pick them up
JS Yoursquove been the voting rights ambassador for the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) since 2013
LB They asked me if I would be the ambassador for voting rights I said I would do it as long as I didnrsquot have to support everything they did (Laughs) As much as I respect what they do a lot of what they do is a waste of time and energy A lot of other stuff they do I believe in but I really believe in voting rights and so I said sure I spent my youth watching people finally get their voting rights and then to watch these idiots trying to take it away is beyond belief Itrsquos nonsense Itrsquos hard enough to get people to vote Now yoursquore going to make it a pain in the ass No other country subjects their people to this kind of crap Democracy my ass
JS Irsquod like to travel back to the year 2000 and hear about your adventures on lsquoThe Naked Teen Voyeur Busrsquo
LB That was great I was doing a radio show in New York called the Opie and Anthony Show I was advertising stuff like gigs that I was doing around town for that weekend and they said that they had this naked voyeur bus Theyrsquod been going around the country in the bus with a couple of women who were topless This was their way to show their support for the First Amendment which was really psychotic (Laughs) The show had said they would take six eighteen and nineteen year old teenage girls on the bus with these other girls They said to me and Jim Norton another comic lsquoWould you two rather be on the bus or would you rather be in the studiorsquo Well Irsquom going to go on the bus It was extraordinary We drove to New York Nobody was freaked out And then three blocks from where we needed to get back to the studio we were stopped by the New York City police The reason was because it was really important to Rudy Giuliani who was the mayor at the time that we clean up New York and this was really wrong This was the route that Bill Clinton would be coming down three hours later We
were held in jail It was horrifying I said that this would be the last time I would ever come back there We were in a hor-rible place called the Tombs of New York Twenty-four hours later we got out and the judge said lsquoLewis what are you doing here Really seriously This is supposed to be a casersquo Giuliani was out of his mind
JS Tell us about your character in Inside Out
LB I played Anger and I was appar-ently the first one that was cast I was used in the pitch that lsquoLewis Black will be play-ing Angerrsquo That was an honor I was very pleased to have been picked for that role
JS Are you that angry in real life
LB No Irsquod be deadJS You will be bringing your The
Emperorrsquos New Clothes The Naked Truth Tour to the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee for two nights on May 13 and 14 What can your audiences look forward to
LB After every show I do a QampA with the audience It goes out live all across the Internet around the world You can watch it on your phone If you go to lewisblackcom itrsquoll explain it to you Or if you go to my Facebook page itrsquoll tell you how to see it I do a half hour QampA People ask ques-tions from the audience people send ques-tions from the web people send in rants I read the ones I think are really funny but
also some that arenrsquot funny All the stuff that I do isnrsquot funny when Irsquom doing it The whole thing is a work in progress Itrsquos kind of a primitive TV show Since Irsquom not going to get a TV show itrsquos the only one Irsquove got After we do it the next week people who havenrsquot seen it can watch if they didnrsquot see it live Irsquom looking forward to it

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
In addition to the latest and greatest on fabulous music artists and venues the myriad of beneficial services The Inquisi-tion provides includes preparation for one-upmanship
Savvy Inquisitors know that one-upmanship is a vital skill for water coolers break rooms family gatherings and any-where pitchers of beer are served
Historical examples of one-upmanship include phrases like ldquoI saw Robin Williams when he was still in an improv group at Off The Wall in Resedardquo and ldquoI saw lsquoGreasersquo when it was still an experimental theater project at The Kingston Mines in Chicagordquo
Preparation is the key so you may want to start practicing phrases like
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton when he was a guest soloist with The Jazz Orgyrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play with Kyle Megna and The Monsoonsrdquo or
ldquoI saw Ross Catterton play solo at Mile Of Music before his CD came outrdquo or
ldquoOh yeah well Ross Cattertonrsquos mother taught my brother-in-law how to flyrdquo
The Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards Show ndash the WAMIrsquos ndash is coming to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on Sunday April 16th Catterton is nomi-nated in the ldquoBest ReedsBrass Playerrdquo cat-egory for his work as a saxophonist and is also nominated along with his bandmates in Kyle Megna and The Monsoons in the ldquoArtist of The Yearrdquo category
ldquoI was completely humbled to be put in a category with so many phenomenal musicians itrsquos such an honorrdquo Catterton said ldquoIrsquove never sought out awards in my career because my focus has always been on creating the best listening experience for the audience So for me the way I look at it is this nomination is more so a physical affirmation of my original intention of creating a musical atmosphere of pleasure and enjoyment for the audience and fans Whether I win or not isnrsquot the issue to me but rather itrsquos about the contentment I feel knowing that my goal of bringing musical happiness into this world has been achievedrdquo
The nominations are well-earned but The Inquisition theorizes that they are but another step in a rapidly ascending career
arc that seems almost limitlessTom Washatka has a Producer of The
Year WAMI as well as being one of the statersquos finest saxophone players composers arrangers and recording engineers
ldquoI met Ross at Lawrence University the first year he got thererdquo Washatka said ldquohe was a student of mine I remember he had such a great energy I had a sense early on he was going to make a living making music He just needed to find his voice which I think he has Wersquore going to be hearing a lot from Ross Cattertonrdquo
Michael Underwood has been honored with a number of WAMIrsquos ndash he won Drummer of The Year in 2013 (hersquos been nominated five times and is nominated again this year) as well as winning as a member of The Jazz Orgy (twice) Greg Waters and The Broad Street Boogie and Andyrsquos Automatics He is also nominated this year as a member of Kyle Megna and The Monsoons as well as WiFEe and The HUZzband He recognized Catteronrsquos talent immediately
ldquoI met Ross back in 2004 in Green Bay where we had a regular Jazz Orgy gigrdquo he recalls ldquoHe was underage and tried to sneak in and they kicked him out When they finally let him in to jam he was smokinrsquo from the moment he started He has always been a great playerrdquo
Catterton released his first all-original solo album ldquoLove of The Unionrdquo in January He recorded with Marc Golde WAMI-nominated as Studio Engineer of The Year at his Rock Garden Studio in Appleton nominated for Studio of The Year
ldquoThe album went through several permutations but my end decision was to create an album that by myself - an aural slice of what Irsquom capable of as an artist musically creatively lyrically and from a production standpoint as well - that I can recreate liverdquo he said ldquoI wanted to make sure that the audience hears on the album what they can hear live Irsquom really happy with the end result Marc Golde did a fan-tastic job recording it and my friends Jon Wheelock and Mike Underwood who I ini-tially recorded with for a full studio album were very instrumental in producing my sound once I made the decision to record it solo Itrsquos really satisfying as an artist to have an aural representation of yourself that
embodies your artistic intentionsrdquoWhen he performs live Catterton uses
looping technology that enables him to play saxophone guitar bass percussion and sing simultaneously
ldquoThe album sounds great Itrsquos awe-somerdquo Underwood said ldquoI feel like it definitely showcases his talent in a lot of different areas how versatile he isrdquo
An Appleton native whose teachers and mentors include Washatka John Harmon Steve Jordheim Mike Hale and the late Fred Sturm Catterton has moved to Nash-ville to continue his career where he hopes ldquoto become an established respected and self-sustaining musician in this new cityrdquo but he will be back to perform at Mile of Music this summer
ldquoI do plan on playing at MOM again this year - the response I received last year was astoundingrdquo he said ldquoI have been using the album as a sort of business card since my relocation to Nashville and have been very pleased with its reception Since I moved in January Irsquove been on two tours
and have been back up to Wisconsin twice so I really havenrsquot done that much canvass-ing but the spring is looking very promis-ing Irsquoll be updating my website wwwrosscattertoncom with more dates as I book themrdquo
In addition to his wide range of superb musical skills Catterton is charismatic and has the chops to be a stand-up comic if he so desired He is committed to putting all of his gifts into play
ldquoThis is quite lofty but (my career goal is) to be someone who shifts the course of music someone that impacts it in a way that whatever follows can be traced - obvi-ously with some scholarly discussion - back to my influencerdquo he said ldquoThis album has given me a focal point from which to pursue and gauge future trials and successes Irsquoll continue to create explore improve and refine the music that Irsquom so glad my friends family and fans have come to enjoyrdquo

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one

ENTERTAINMENT POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
If Eric Ambelrsquos name does not ring a bell consider that since 1981 he has toured and made records with the likes of Joan Jett and Steve Earle Yes Amble has been a Blackheart and a Duke He has been a member of the Del-Lords and the Yayhoos (with Georgia Sat-ellite Dan Baird) His mentors as a producer include Ritchie Cordell Lou Whitney and Jim Dickinson and he has produced albums for The Bottle Rockets Mojo Nixon Marshall Crenshaw and Nils Lofrgren
Technically a Batavia Illinois ex-patriate Amble spent his summers in Fontana Wiscon-sin on the shores of Lake Geneva For six years (until rising rents shut them down) Ambel co-owned the Lakeside Lounge perhaps NYCrsquos most-music bar featuring live music
For the last fifteen years Ambel has co-owned and operated Cowboy Technical Services a recording studio in Brooklyn As a player himself his perspective offers advan-tages
ldquoAt my place I have a lot of instruments and ampsrdquo Ambel said ldquoI might only use that electric sitar a couple times a year but when
David Hidalgo walked into my place thatrsquos the first thing he grabbed Whatever it takes to be inspiredrdquo
Somewhere along the way Ambel found time to record his fourth solo album ldquoLake-siderdquo
A few years ago ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus recorded an album with Eric at the board and when the time was right Mathus returned the favor
ldquoI had been thinking about having Jimbo produce me since I produced his lsquoWhite Buf-falorsquo recordrdquo Ambel said ldquoI needed Jimbo in NYC for some session work and it seemed like a good time to do some recording for me That was itrdquo
With help from Phil Cimino on drums and Keith Christopher on bass Mathus pitched in where needed with Amble handling most guitar and bass duties
ldquoHere Comes My Loverdquo ramps things up to a nice start With a laid back groove and slow rolling drums add Ambelrsquos relaxed vocals and this platter could be bouncing off a satel-lite in Shreveport circa 1964 ldquoHey Mr DJrdquo and its sardonic viewpoint might very well be the result of working with Bottle Rockets
Brian Henneman The punchy low end guitar riffage of ldquoHave Mercyrdquo nails a timeless rock sound while ldquoLetrsquos Play With Firerdquo has a Telecaster twang
The ten song album really is an album The vinyl version is a limited signed and num-bered LP that includes a download card with links to both CD quality and Hi-Res 19224 bit digital versions of the album
The vibe of the album reflects an intuitive from-the-gut approach ldquoMassive Confusionrdquo nods to the long shadow of the Ramones clocking in at 156 and ldquoMoneyrdquo is a power trash take on the BarretStrong standard
ldquoMy last solo record 2005rsquos lsquoKnuckle-headrsquo was a collection of songs from differ-ent sources and sessionsrdquo Ambel said ldquoAs I thought about making a new record I knew I wanted to have a producer rather than do it myself and I wanted to record quickly in a batch of one or two sessionsrdquo
Ambelrsquos experience behind the board translates well to the other side of the glass
ldquoTherersquos always something new in the studio Irsquom fortunate to work very often producing lots of great artists Therersquos no one way to workrdquo he said ldquoYou have to have a
good plan but keep your mind open for the unexpectedrdquo
There were times when he acknowledged his name was going on the front of the record and Mathusrsquo was going on the back
ldquoI was happy to have Jimbo let me know when he thought that take was lsquothe onersquo or to have him suggest a part or an instrument It was great to have a conversation with another person instead of myselfrdquo
They made some inspired choices Ambelrsquos cover of Gillian Welchrsquos ldquoMiss
Ohiordquo builds and morphs into a massive guitar solo one that eventually quotes from ldquoHey Joerdquo Not bad for a guy who once claimed he couldnrsquot play Hendrix The stri-dent drumming of ldquoDonrsquot Make Me Break You Downrdquo offers up a claustrophobic compressed groove complimented by guitar tone not far removed from that of Neil Young This is the sound of a tremolo-throbbing amplifier on the verge of blowing up
Yet ldquoBuyback Bluesrdquo is the albumrsquos center-piece a towering minor key tune that sounds like Albert King in an unhappy mood Like those old Slim Harpo records yoursquod swear you can hear the weather on this one
