LIFE PEEPERS

Emergency workers say gawkers should stay away from Vermont’s flood-ravaged communities. Rubbernecking is for foliage season.

GOALIE ORIENTED

Boston Bruin Tim Thomas brought hockey’s highest honor — the Stanley Cup — to Burlington on Saturday. The Cat came back.

She spoke with potter Jeremy Ayers, who gave her a tour of what used to be his basement workshop. On the night of the flood, he scrambled to save his pottery as water poured in through cracks in the walls and the windows. “It was just like being in a lower room in the Titanic,” he says. Ayers describes evacuating with his family: “We waded out through chest-deep water,” he says. “My wife had the baby on her shoulders — 8-month-old baby — and myself and the neighbor had my 94-year-old grandfather by the armpits. It happened in an hour and a half. Like I said, I just didn’t believe it.” Even more amazing, his grandfather lived across the street during the 1927 flood and was evacuated back then, too.

SO LONG, LOCKHEED The city of Burlington and Lockheed Martin were “unable to develop a mutually beneficial implementation plan.” That’s military speak for “We broke up.”

Sollberger also talked with Jeff Lang of the Alchemist Pub & Brewery, as a crew of volunteers gutted the restaurant’s silt-covered interior. “Right now, all you can do is fix it,” he says, fighting back tears. “You work until you can’t work anymore, and then you sleep for a little bit and start working again.”

For the first time since 1996, the Vermont Lake Monsters are in the playoffs. Way to play.

WANT TO HELP VERMONT FARMERS? Buy local produce, and pay farmers more than they are asking. Many farms, including those in the Intervale, picked emergency crops to save them from floods. Much of that produce needs to be purchased and eaten soon. (An example: the tide of fennel that workers at the Intervale’s Diggers’ Mirth Collective Farm picked before their fields flooded, now on sale at City Market.) The income some farmers get now is likely to be the last they’ll see for the season.

The bank that runs alongside the farm has become a ragged mini-cliff with a 10-foot drop into a now-wider river. It looks ripe for further erosion. Previously, the farm — which is owned by the Vermont Foodbank and leased to Locker and Slomin — had a 50-foot buffer zone between crops and the river. “If we LISTEN IN ON LOCAL FOODIES...

The leafy tops of leeks, carrots and parsnips are pushed on their sides as if a giant stepped on them. “Nobody grows celery, and we have the most gorgeous celery here,” says Locker, shaking his head as he straddles a row of healthy-looking plants. All of them will get plowed back into the land. It’s an intricate web of losses. Without winter greens, for instance, sales at Kingsbury’s farm market dissipate, too. “We sell more carrots and onions in the farm store when people come in for greens,” says Slomin, as she shapes

is how we stabilize the stream bank so we don’t have more erosion.” Restaurants in Waitsfield the farm usually supplies — the Green Cup, Mint and American Flatbread — were all flooded. The farmhands at Kingsbury had just picked several hundred pounds of tomatoes, some of which the Green Cup’s chef, Jason Gulisano, planned to preserve for the winter. When the Mad River flooded the Green Cup, pushing the building next door into its side, that restaurant closed indefinitely. “We’re canning like crazy,” says Slomin, as a red pot steams on a nearby stove.

Luckily, the farm had several thousand pounds of produce in storage, including carrots. Both Slomin and Locker say they know farmers who had it much worse. It’s a common poststorm refrain from Vermont farmers, including Christa Alexander, who runs Jericho Settlers’ Farm with Mark Fasching. The farmers’ main plots are in Jericho, but they lease a 27acre stretch in Richmond near the Winooski River. Alexander says they harness its “incredible soil” for high-nutrient forage for lambs and pigs, though they grow vegetables there, as well. Alexander didn’t think twice about Irene flooding the Richmond fields, since they hadn’t been inundated since 1927. On Monday morning, however, two of her farmhands called to report that the fields were underwater. “I was in shock. I started to quickly calculate what was there,” she says. Alexander rushed to the farm to try and help save what she could, and found some lambs huddled on a tiny piece of high pasture, some chest deep in water and “not looking great.” Four of them drowned; one was saved by kayak. “Amazingly, most of the pigs had found their way out of their paddocks and to higher ground. I didn’t know pigs could swim,” marvels Alexander, who found a 600-pound boar treading water. Some piglets, though, were not so lucky — 18 died. Jericho Settlers’ also lost 100 bales of hay; after the flood, some of them lay scattered in the fields with their white plastic sides ripped open. The water ruined fall pasture and half of the farm’s winter crop production, about $80,000 worth of veggies such as spinach, mesclun, celeriac, beets, turnips and carrots. While Alexander and others were busy dealing with Irene’s aftermath — the “muck and trash everywhere” — the farm’s other crops went unpicked, though volunteers helped pick some last week. Looking forward, Alexander thinks one of the most powerful ways people can help is to sign up for Jericho Settlers’ winter CSA. “So many other

chains will return to normal soon. “A lot of restaurants said at first, ‘This is it; we can’t do this anymore,’” says Curran. But, as they began to see volunteers, “By Wednesday or Thursday, they said, ‘Maybe we can make this work.’” Farm aid is coming not only from volunteers but from a raft of organizations, including the state’s Department of Agriculture, Food and Markets and the USDA Farm Service Agency. The Vermont Economic Development Fund has allocated $10 million for low-interest loans to Vermont businesses that have felt the effects of Irene, including farms. Rural Vermont is forming “Rapid Farm Response Brigades” around the state to organize volunteers, and Pete’s Greens of Craftsbury has already donated $40,000 to the Vermont Farm Fund Emergency Loan Program. The VFF will rapidly approve (within 14 days) $5000 loans at zero interest for affected farmers. Pete’s Greens owner Pete Johnson says it’s a way to pay forward the help he received after a barn fire last January. “This money has already done a great deal of good [for us]. It’s coming around again and again, and will go around dozens of times,” he says. With the cogs of aid starting to move, farmers are now thinking about their soil health. For organic farmers in particular, maintaining their certification is a concern. Nicole Dehne, the certification administrator at Vermont Organic Farmers, says such farmers do not have to worry that the fresh silt on their land might

annul their organic status. “We don’t consider the land to have an application of a prohibited substance, and it won’t be disqualified in most cases,” says Dehne, except when contamination is fairly obvious, such as when a propane tank has emptied into a field. As for floodwater filled with septic overflows and whatever else, the sheer volume that pushed through is a boon. “We consider [the floodwater] ‘unavoidable residual environmental contaminants,’” says Dehne. Still, farmers can’t help but notice that soil health has been compromised. At Kingsbury Farm, Aaron Locker picks up a fistful of soil in each hand. One is dry and crumbly, filled with silt; the other is moist and dark. “We’ve got to figure out how to turn this [the silt] into this,” says Locker. It’s an alchemy that is likely to entail lots of compost. “We’re going to have to relearn how to grow on our land,” he adds. Across the board, though, the farmers sound resilient and realistic. “That’s what farming is: It’s a big gamble. Every season you roll your dice,” says Jericho Settlers’ Alexander, who thinks land diversification saved her farm from greater disaster. “The bottom line is that I have excellent soils because the river gave them to me. The dangers of [farming on] a floodplain are what happened to us,” says Honigford. After a week of watching his community come together around those in need, he says he’s feeling both exhausted and deeply fulfilled. “The most financially ruinous week of my life has also been the most rewarding week of my life.” m

fanfare, Mi Casita opened in St. Albans. And, in Jeffersonville, El Zorro Mexican Restaurant & Cantina began serving “authentic VerMexican” fare. It looks like we’re finally experiencing a renaissance of Mexican food in northern Vermont. But do the taste buds agree? The Seven Days food team headed to the four newest additions to find out. On the whole, the news is not quite as exciting as we’d hoped. True, most of the new restaurants are pushing authenticity with dishes not previously seen in Vermont. Don Pedro’s spicerubbed rotisserie chicken is a notable success, for example, but many of the other novelties falter in terms of flavor, freshness or Mexican cred. These restaurants are still in their first months of life and may yet meet Vermonters’ high expectations. We hope so.

Tamale brings its aromatic tamales and birria-stuffed wraps to farmers markets from Barre to Winooski. Many Chittenden County locals will travel to Frida’s Taqueria and Grill in Stowe for light, big-flavored food. But when it comes to sitting down in Burlington for a Mexican meal, many diners say they’re unsatisfied, including at Burlington stalwarts Miguel’s on Main and Madera’s Restaurante Mexicano Cantina. This winter, we began to hear rumblings of the arrival of “authentic” Mexican dining. Pierre Mesa, a Colorado transplant, blogged about the West Coast taqueria tour that, he said, would supply him with ideas for his in-theworks restaurant, Don Pedro’s Authentic Mexican Taqueria — now in Winooski.

t’s almost become a mantra for Mexican-food lovers: No matter how many new restaurants in the Burlington area try, they can’t seem to get it exactly right. Many residents have lamented the loss of Tortilla Flat, a den of Tex-Mex comfort eats once located in the building that now houses Bluebird Tavern. (Its nachos are still popular — bevo in Colchester serves a similar dish to eager crowds.) Over in South Burlington, La Carreta, a chain that employed Oaxaca natives making dark, rich moles, closed nearly five years ago. The VFW post in its place still bears its south-of-theborder decorations. If Burlingtonians bemoan the dearth of “authentic” Mexican options, it’s not just because Vermont is on the wrong border. The Mad Taco, with its pig-centric tortas and tacos, is worth the drive to Waitsfield. Johnson’s Hot

169 church Street, Burlington, 540-3095, elgatocantina.com El Gato Cantina’s arrival on Burlington’s lower Church Street was greeted with nervous expectancy. Burlingtonians have long complained that their burg lacks “real” Mexican fare, and El Gato’s owner, Tree Bertram, promised she would deliver the goods: fresh, authentic Mexican food based on the dishes she learned growing up in central California. Diners (and 7 Nights online commenters) have been sharply divided on whether she succeeded. Some comments ooze passion for El Gato’s fare, while others call the praise nothing but hype. After a few visits, we’ve concluded that Bertram’s kitchen can approximate some of the fare you’ll find south of the border. Other dishes, though, seem overcooked, oversauced or somehow discordant. It’s a wild ride, with both highs and lows. Take the warm tortilla chips that come with every meal. On one day, they might be oil laden and flavorless; on another, feather light and perfectly salted. Ditto for the salsa: Though very fresh and laced with mouth-watering lime and cilantro, it can be watery and bland on one visit, and addictively punchy on another. All of the Tex-Mex standard-bearers are on the menu here, burritos, enchiladas and chile rellenos among them. And the creative flourishes are many. You can order chicken or beef (carne asada) tacos, but also ones filled with beef tongue, or with mushrooms and epazote. El Gato’s fish taco ($3.99 each), which comes with grilled or fried tilapia, is smeared with an unctuous, spicy aioli. (The fried option stands up better to the heat.) When I tried it, the ribbons of slow-braised beef inside the barbacoa taco ($2.99) were rich, tender and mouth filling. But the downside to both tacos was thick, tough, overcooked tortillas. Ceviche can be dreamy, but one offering here ($8.99) was a cold mess, with hunks of gray shrimp floating in an unhappy soup of citrus juices and tiny, hard slivers of avocado. Better were the pork tamales: Smothered in a roastedred-pepper-and-tomato sauce, their fatty, sweet mash is fun, if messy, to excavate. I first encountered pozole, a soup made with pork and hominy, on a Oaxaca farm where a local family made a batch each week with buckets of fresh milk and huge slabs from their own pigs. It’s a difficult soup to get right, and El Gato’s

46 main Street, Winooski, 655-7100, donpedrostaqueria.com The lines move with admirable speed at Don Pedro’s Authentic Mexican Taqueria. Just moments after I ordered, my large meal was waiting for me on a pair of cafeteria trays; I’ve waited far longer at McDonald’s. But then, with lines sometimes snaking around the block at this fast-casual restaurant, they’d better move. In Don Pedro’s first weeks of life, coowner Pierre Mesa reported that 550 diners were streaming into his small restaurant each night. Winooski police told him they’d never encountered anything like his crowd-control issues. It’s obvious what attracted the masses: the promise of real, live Mexican food, made fresh each day, at rock-bottom prices. Tacos top out at $3.25 for the traditional fish option. It’s filled with the catch of the day, homemade mango salsa and shredded cabbage, then dressed with mild chipotle crema and stuffed into the diner’s choice of a corn or flour tortilla. On two visits, I found both varieties of tortilla — also made on site — too thick to be pliable. The first one crumbled around my rotisserie al pastor pork taco ($2.95). The next had a better texture, but could still be improved. The larger wrap on my carnitas burrito ($6.25) was softer and more uniform. The tangle of pulled, chilerubbed pork shoulder therein was also more flavorful and moister than the al pastor. Lightly spiced brown rice and tangy black beans added texture to the comforting wrap. The thin green chile sauce, which the busy brigade of cooks initially forgot, was low on flavor. No such problems with the red sauce on the two-enchilada combo ($8.50). It was dark and complex, with a taste of smoky chiles. I asked for one beef and one chicken and received two beef, but enjoyed them nonetheless. Refried beans on the side lacked the fatty punch they require — next time, I’ll stick to black. The white rice was pleasantly spiced but not as tasty as the healthier brown. Perhaps Don Pedro’s wants to trick us into eating more healthily? That theory is contradicted by what the menu calls a “huge bag of fresh cut and fried corn chips.” The description is entirely accurate. The giant pile of chips comes on its own ($2.50) or with an order of mild but creamy guacamole ($4.65), served in a greasy brown paper

bag. It’s a fun gimmick, and the chips are excellent — warm, fresh and salted just heavily enough. The salsa bar, filled with pickled veggies, jalapeños and more of the mango salsa, among several other homemade dips, is a worthwhile stop when you’re riding the chip train. My favorites were the hot sauce, which was actually more like a cilantro-laden, blended-tomato salsa, and the zesty, smooth avocado salsa, which I preferred to the guacamole. The food at Don Pedro’s is clearly all handcrafted, and at times it suffers for its art, with flavors that are less than fully developed. A notable exception was the ear of corn in chile butter ($1.75), which I immediately craved more of upon finishing it. The day after I dined at Don Pedro’s, the cooks began 24-hour production to ensure that both dinner and lunch food stay up to snuff. Once the kinks are worked out, I may be the first in line for a huge bag of chips. — A. L.

Tacos come as hard tortillas by default, but are also available soft. Tacos de la casa ($6.99) were filled with a Native American combination of corn, zucchini and potato, all sautéed together and lightly spiced. The vegetables were sufficiently flavorful that only the seemingly unseasoned pulled chicken on top detracted from the otherwise handsome taco. Taco sides included yellow rice, a small pile of chopped iceberg lettuce and delicious refried beans. The silken mash tasted rich, but also had an unexpected kick of spice. Luckily, those beans came with the enchiladas ($8.50), too. The three taquito-sized corn wraps were filled with tender beef. The red sauce on top didn’t have an easily identifiable taste, but it was pleasant. The tres leches cake ($4.99) had more

Frank Inzunza, an Arizona native of Spanish and Mexican descent, had big plans for Mi Casita when he spoke to Seven Days last month. “It will be the best Mexican restaurant in New England,” he said. “I’m confident of that.” Maybe not yet, though the restaurant gets an A for effort. Until recently, the small but elegant space on Main Street was home to the short-lived Blue Acorn. It has retained the stunning copper bar, but otherwise has been remade into a Mexican fiesta, full of art and knickknacks that suggest to diners they’re not in St. Albans anymore. Mi Casita opened in July, boasting authentic dishes such as pollo mole, barbacoa and birria among its offerings. Said mole ($14.99) was fine, as long as I didn’t think of it as mole. Ideally, I want my mole to taste as dark and earthy as mud and twigs, but this sauce reminded me more of Hershey’s syrup. The chicken leg and thigh it flavored appeared to have been deep-fried into crispness. The sides were odd, too: plain, white rice and a segment of buttered corn. I preferred the more typical TexMex fare I tried at a subsequent lunch. The chefs at Mi Casita aren’t afraid of fire, as is clear from the first bite of the hot salsa. Dark brown and chile laden, it burned my throat for minutes after I swallowed it. I found I liked it best when mixed with the milder, puréed-tomato option.

cuisine combining Vermont ingredients with Mexican inflections. Housed in the former Red Fox Alpine Lodge, just north of Smugglers’ Notch, El Zorro resembles a roadhouse — not necessarily a Mexican roadhouse, but a place where you might expect to have a raucous time. And maybe even crash afterward: Upstairs, the inn’s rooms still await. Others must dig the setting’s allure. On two weekday visits here, the spacious dining room was full, despite the brusque service and uneven food. Granted, El Zorro’s starters are intriguing, and offer at least one reason to return. Deciding between a pulled-pork tostada (starter) and a salmon sandwich (entrée); or a shrimp “empanzeno” (starter) and a bar steak (entrée) is really a no-brainer. The creative smallplates menu is where it’s at. Blue-cornencrusted calamari ($9) is dotted with tiny pepper slivers and feels like eating a cloud of crunch, though it could use more of the gently spicy chipotle crema drizzled around the bottom of the plate. That pulled-pork tostada ($8) is winning, too, a towering tangle of sweet, moist meat topped by a drippy jicama slaw and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. The lime Caesar salad ($6 for a small portion), lightly dressed in a bright, creamy dressing studded with polenta bread crumbs, is a stroke of delicious simplicity. Other dishes are money wasters, however, such as a chicken tortilla soup ($5) whose meat tastes canned. Grilled fish tacos should ideally be filled with mahi mahi; however, the perpetually glum waitress reported that the kitchen had run out of said fish and was unlikely to get it in again — ever. The tilapia that took its place had an alarming funkiness not easily disguised by an avalanche of jalapeños. Even with the fish downgrade, diners pay $16 for two tacos with rice and beans. Ouch. The cloying, chunky salsa tastes as though it hails from a jar, though the tortilla chips are light, warm, crispy and addictive. Disappointing, as well, is the house margarita, which can best be described as saccharine with a petroleum finish. Better (though weaker) is a fruity, spicy watermelon punch. If diners here stick to dishes that veer from true Mexican cuisine, they can construct a decent meal. Unless El Zorro works on its service, though, diners should be prepared to wait for their chips, their food and their check, and generally feel as if they’re imposing whenever they ask for something. Service at the bar was a bit zippier and friendlier on my visits, however. m — C .H .

here can’t be any truth to the “those who can’t do, teach” idiom. Just look at Clare Byrne (pictured) and Heidi Henderson, two modern dancers who twirl, whirl and kick that idea to rest. Sure, they’re professors — at the University of Vermont and Connecticut College, respectively — but each proves she can do quite well at a doublebill showcase of their side projects. Byrne blends movement, text, song and audience interaction in her new solo piece, White Witch. Witch Henderson plays with contradictions in Pine, which contrasts the wild motions of a duet with the quieter journey of a solo dancer. She also explores the chaos of feelings in Imagine us in silver silver, as two dancers decked out in silver ’70s garb feel the beat in David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” There’s audience participation here, too — but no final exam. Phew.

KITKA Saturday, September 10, 7:30 p.m., at the South Congregational Church in St. Johnsbury. $16-22. Info, 748-2600. catamountarts.org/kcpkitka.php

SEPT. 10 | MUSIC

COURTESY OF KINGDOM COUNTY PRODUCTIONS

Since its 1979 beginning, Kitka’s repertoire has been culled from countless trips to Eastern Europe. Not surprisingly, the eight-piece female vocal ensemble’s laments and lullabies, folk songs, and village duets span many languages — from Albanian to Bosnian, Ukrainian to Yiddish. But you needn’t be multilingual to “get” the emotive harmonies and angular rhythms of the San Francisco group. The lusty singing tells of universal human suffering in a way that’s “eerily gorgeous,” as the San Francisco Chronicle writes, and decidedly exotic. Take in the effortless unisons and all-around vocal mastery in St. Johnsbury on Saturday.

‘BULLY! AN ADVENTURE WITH TEDDY ROOSEVELT’

SEPT. 8-11 | THEATER

SEVEN DAYS

Ten years ago, on the same day people around the world collectively held their breaths and watched the World Trade Center towers collapse, Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble artistic director Steven Klimowski began approaching composers to write a piece of music responding to the catastrophe. “I knew this was a historic time,” he remembers. “I asked them basically to put down their feelings in music.” In February 2002, the ensemble debuted a program of these short works — and it revisits them this week in “9/11: A Remembrance in Music.” The riveting retrospective’s 11 compositions — some of which include media sound bites or narration — are arranged sequentially to capture the immediate shock of the tragedy and progress toward coping. They are at times “horrifying,” but ultimately beautiful, says Klimowski.

COURTESY OF STEFAN HARD, THE TIMES ARGUS

Maybe it was his political slogan — the African proverb “Speak softly and carry a big stick” — but the legacy of the 26th president of the United States is that of a tough guy. One who helped form the Rough Riders, shaped a strong foreign policy, declined to run for reelection in favor of going on an African safari and was generally worthy of having his face carved on Mount Rushmore. But underneath Theodore Roosevelt’s hard exterior was possibly a big softie — a political maverick who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating a war’s end and a man who held ideals that are still relevant today. John D. Alexander takes audiences inside the Oval Office and this complex persona in Lost Nation Theater’s one-man show Bully! An Adventure With Teddy Roosevelt.

B Y D A N BOLLE S

illiam Ellis is sitting in his barely furnished office in the McCarthy Arts Building on the St. Michael’s College campus. A guitar lies on top of a case on the floor, across from a bookshelf adorned with a handful of tomes. Boxes are tucked in various corners of the room, most unopened. Outside his secondfloor window, fresh-faced students bustle to and from classes along a quad in the midafternoon September sun. “It’s kind of weird,” he says, turning his gaze from the window. “A lot of these kids were hardly born when Kurt Cobain pulled the plug on himself.” Ellis is the newly minted assistant professor of American music at St. Mike’s. He is describing some of the issues he faces getting his students to comprehend the breadth of what he admits is an increasingly unwieldy subject: the history of American rock and roll. “There is a lot of distance even between now and then for these kids,” he says. “Cobain’s death still feels fresh to me, but it’s obviously not for them. So the challenge is how to make something like that feel relevant to their lives. Hopefully, they are able to better appreciate the music they already like because they can see it in a broader context of where it came from.” Ellis, who moved to Vermont with his wife and daughter from Memphis, Tenn., two weeks ago, says he’s still getting his bearings, but ultimately hopes to expand the music department’s focus on the history of American music. He’ll begin with a course on the history of rock and roll this semester, and a course on the history of jazz in the spring. He’ll also offer courses on music theory and writing on music this year. In future semesters he hopes to include classes on a variety of American music styles, including gospel, blues, soul and hip-hop. Ellis has a PhD in ethnomusicology from the University of Memphis, where he taught a number of similar music history courses. His specialty is Southern American music, an interest

inspired and cultivated by his father, Tony Ellis. The elder Ellis is a well-known banjo and fiddle player who performed with, among others, legendary bluegrass icon Bill Monroe — Monroe is William Ellis’ godfather. “I grew up with banjo and fiddle music in the house from as far back as I can remember,” says Ellis. “It’s always been a part of my life. So it makes sense that when I went off to study in college that I would do something in music, as opposed to, say, chemical engineering.”

I TELL MY KIDS I’M THE ONLY PROFESSOR THEY’LL HAVE

WHO HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD WITH THREE 6 MAFIA. WILLIA M EL LI S , AS S I S TAN T PROFESSO R O F AMER I CAN MU S I C, S MC

Ellis has a master’s degree in classical guitar from the University of Cincinnati, a discipline that he cheekily claims to have “summarily forgotten.” “I discovered acoustic blues at that point,” he says. “And it was like being knocked over the head with a brick. So I did an about-face and went straight into that.” Ellis is an accomplished blues performer. In 2007, his solo album, God’s Tattoos, won the Australian Bluestar award for “Best International CD Release.” He recently shared the stage with comedian-cum-banjo-star Steve Martin on “Late Show with David Letterman.” This summer he played at the U.S. Library of Congress with his father. “I tell people I’ve made hundreds of dollars in the music business,” jokes Ellis. Kidding aside, his extended résumé is impressive. In addition to his performing accolades, Ellis is also a highly regarded music jour-

nalist. He has covered the Grammy Awards and was a music critic for the Memphis daily newspaper, the Commercial Appeal. He also wrote for two Japanese publications while living and teaching in Japan in the early 1990s. In other words, Ellis practices what he teaches. “I tell my kids I’m the only professor they’ll have who has been on the road with Three 6 Mafia,” says Ellis, referring to the Memphis-based hardcore hiphop act. He adds jokingly, “That’s how I get my street cred.” Through both his academic pursuits and performing professionally, Ellis certainly has a broad understanding of the winding course of American music history. In the classroom, he invites his students to dig deep in order to put rock and roll into proper historical context. “You can’t see in front of you until you know what’s behind you,” he suggests. “As my kids will discover, we spend a lot of time on pre-rock-and-roll styles and trends.” He’s not kidding. Ellis says he gets medieval on his students. “We start with minstrel singing and work our way up. … We may even get to Metallica.” Though his courses are history classes, Ellis stresses that his students’ connection to the subject matter should run deeper than merely memorizing dates and names. “Music, as much as anything else, is about a search for identity,” he points out. “So I want [students] to take bigger things away from these classes.” Specifically, Ellis says he hopes to help his kids understand the ongoing dialogue between Anglo American and African American cultures that he says has been shaping American music for centuries. But he also hopes to deepen his pupils’ personal connection to the music they love. “Music is communal. It’s healing. And it’s entertaining, too,” he says. “But there are so many layers to music. It’s one long passage. So, ultimately, I want my kids to walk away with more questions than answers.”

As alluded to earlier, the main event in Burlington this weekend is the South End Art Hop. Frankly, there are more music events happening this year than I have space to run down. But there are two shows in particular I’d recommend highlighting on your Hop itinerary. The first is the annual throwdown at Speaking

Under normal circumstances, I would lead this week’s column with a glowing roundup of all things musically related to the South End Art Hop. After all, I do love me some art hoppin’. It’s my favorite annual Queen City shindig, and a great way for the public to get a taste of our bustling local music scene — oh, and all that arty stuff is nifty, too. But circumstances aren’t exactly normal right now, are they? You probably don’t need a music critic to tell you that the devastation from Tropical Storm Irene has been astonishing. Even if you were fortunate enough to be spared the storm’s wrath, most of us know someone who wasn’t. Collectively, we’re hurting. Bad. Unsurprisingly, the response from the community has been swift. Volunteers from around the state have flocked to the hardest-hit areas to help, and continue to do so. But the reality is that we’re only getting started putting the pieces back together. This is gonna take a while. And it’s going to take all of us to get

there — and that includes you, local music scene. But I’m guessing you’re up to the task. You always are. This Sunday, September 11, the first of what promises to be a floo … er, a lot of Irene benefit shows gets under way at Nectar’s and Club Metronome in Burlington. Details are still coming together, but here’s the gist: two floors, loads of rocking and/or rolling, the general spreading of goodwill, more rocking and, last but not least, a silent auction spearheaded by Taraleigh WeaThers of the Healthy Hippie Magazine. And also, still more rocking. So far, the lineup is monstrous. At present it includes JusTin levinson, the Woedoggies, Zack duPonT, squid ciTy, the gordon sTone Band, the grifT, caTs under The sTars, JaPhy ryder with face one, flaT nose diesel Bus, Workingman’s army, the move iT move iT, afinque and craig miTchell and moTor ciTy. I would not be shocked to see a few more additions in the days to come, possibly right up until showtime. Also, Nectar’s may add a second day of music on Monday, September 12. Stay tuned. Just as a head’s up, Nectar’s may oversell this

Volumes on Pine Street on Friday, September 9, cleverly called Hearing Volumes. This party has become an Art Hop staple in recent years and is among my go-to stops. This year should be no exception. The early show features bluesy Americana duo sPider rouleTTe and newcomers hard scraBBle hounds. Things really get interesting a little later as trip-hop trio coBa sTella highlight a lineup that also includes the Move It Move It, Whale Boy, Pariah BeaT and bodypainting provocateurs the human canvas. There is also a late-night bash this year curated by local housemusic collective mushPosT and featuring a live set from Brooklyn’s machinedrum and Chicago’s chrissy murderBoT. Get yer glowsticks ready. (As an aside, I caught Coba Stella’s CD release party at Nectar’s last week and came away very impressed. Vocalist Julie Winn is dynamic in person and the band does a great job framing her soulful delivery. Definitely an act to watch.) Meanwhile, at alt-venue/ recording studio Signal Kitchen that same night, we have something of a comeback for three of Burlington’s finest, rough francis, villanelles and BloWTorch. The sons of Death have kept a low profile lately as front man BoBBy hackney Jr. and his wife, sara goldsTein, prepared for the birth of their second child, JosePhine hackney. In a related story, the 2029 Seven Daysies award winner for Best New Vermont Band just got its newest member. Congrats, you two. Villanelles have also been

Dave Keller, Where I’m Coming From (TASTEE TONE RECORDS, CD)

DAN BOLLES

Giant Travel Avant Garde, Anagramatic

a sleepy vocal delivery that runs in contrast to the insistent, grimy alt-rock simmering beneath the surface. Hebert is the glue here. At times, Chrisinger’s ungainly, snarling guitar and Brendan Deangelo’s winding bass threaten to careen out of control. But Hebert holds his bandmates in orbit, here and elsewhere on the record. “Hundred Moon” is illustrative of GTAG’s general approach, and in some ways represents Anagramatic in microcosm. The song begins as a prettily sparse acoustic guitar and voice ballad, but soon evolves — or perhaps devolves — into a swarming torrent of distortion and manic percussion as Chrisinger’s sweet croon is ultimately swallowed in the sonic void. “Syndicate” is similarly emblematic. The threeminute instrumental interlude vacillates between calming swells of clean, melodic guitar and ragged, intimidating noise. “Event Collector” is among the most conventionally constructed tunes on the record, and thus is among its most accessible, sounding something like a

Pavement b-side. But even here, the band tempers alt-rock custom with sneaky sonic chicanery. “Ghost Parade” is another straightforward-ish highlight and sets up the record’s final act. “Ornament” follows with casual indie swagger, and eventually yields to the stunning album closer, “Population.” The slowburning, six-minute tune builds from a spare acoustic rumination into a head-spinning indie rock opus that is as rewarding as it is challenging — much like Anagramatic as a whole. Anagramatic by Giant Travel Avant Garde is available at whatdothlife.com.

09.07.11-09.14.11

The musical micro-explosion in sleepy Springfield, Vt., continues with the latest from power trio Giant Travel Avant Garde, Anagramatic.. The album, released by Springfield collective/ label What Doth Life, confirms that something strange and wonderful is indeed a-brewin’ in the Upper Valley. Who knew? GTAG is the brainchild of prolific songwriter Luke Chrisinger, who has reportedly released 100 albums under various musical guises. Here, the guitarist and front man leads his power trio through a lo-fi noise-rock journey that is by turns soothing and frightening, but is ultimately a worthwhile listening experience. The record opens unassumingly on “Hexagram.” Over a skittering drumbeat courtesy of drummer Ryan Hebert, Chrisinger unveils a lazy guitar jangle that belies the unwieldy sonic experiments to come. But rudimentary, three-chord garage rock soon gives way to a swelling maelstrom of feedback, setting the stage for the ambitious sonic shenanigans to come. “Two” is next and follows a similarly deceptive tack. Chrisinger favors

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Since moving to Vermont in 1993, guitarist and vocalist Dave Keller has been regarded as a local blues monster. His impressive catalog of releases over the years has only served to bolster that notion. From his debut 1993 cassette, Deep Down in My Soul, through 2007’s Play for Love, Keller has continually cemented his reputation as one of the state’s finest blues musicians. Now, with the release of a new record of R&B covers, Where I’m Coming From, Keller stakes his claim to be mentioned among the Green Mountains’ great soul voices, as well. That declaration of intent begins with the R&B classic “More Than I Can Stand.” Keller’s crack backing band, the Revelations, set the stage with a bustling run of exultant horns and swaggering guitar. Keller steps to the mic sounding as confident and self-assured as ever, lending Bobby Womack’s tune the requisite pleading immediacy. Here, Keller is every bit the anguished soul crooner. But he displays veteran savvy by reining in vocal acrobatics and overwrought soul affectations in favor of a more measured approach that allows both his vocal and guitar lines room to breathe. Keller stays true to that approach throughout the majority of the record. His treatment of the George JacksonRaymond Moore-penned “If I Ever Got You Back” is nuanced and tasteful, as are his versions of classics such as Earl Wright and Deadric Malone’s funk-soul charmer “Are You Going Where I’m Coming From,” Robert Ward’s sweetly touching “Strictly Reserved For You,”

and Don Davis and J.J. Barnes’ “Baby Please Come Back Home.” As impressive as Keller’s vocal performances usually are, his guitar work is equally remarkable. His woozy call-and-response lead on “Steppin’ Out” is incendiary without becoming distracting. On “Are You Going Where I’m Coming From” he forms an airtight groove with bassist Josh Werner and keyboardist Ethan White that allows the rest of the Revelations to soar in a shimmering wash of horns and backing vocals. And his lines on album closer “If It’s Really Got to Be This Way” are clean, efficient and perfectly understated, making the song a fitting finale to a tremendous effort. Dave Keller was already something of a local institution. But with Where I’m Coming From, he is on his way to being a local legend. Dave Keller celebrates the release of Where I’m Coming From this Friday, September 9, at Positive Pie 2 in Montpelier.

Out and About South End Art Hop Outdoor Sculpture, Burlington

PHOTOS: MARC AWODEY

urlington’s South End Art Hop is celebrating its 19th year in 2011, but the outdoorsculpture component didn’t appear until 2003. Its stated purpose is to “showcase larger sculptures, installations, murals and other public works of art.” There aren’t any new outdoor murals affiliated with the 2011 Hop, but plenty of large sculptures have sprouted along the Pine Street corridor. An interesting development in the category this year: Several of the pieces include multiple components. The trio of pieces making up “Circus Series #7” by Gerald Stoner, installed in front of Lake Champlain Chocolates, seems to defy gravity. Composed of welded, weathered steel, each stands about nine feet tall. Stoner’s compositions gracefully balance geometric shapes, with cut beams perched on thinner forms and designs ground into the rusty surfaces. Each component is capped with a 4-foot-diameter ring. Artists’ titles don’t always illuminate what’s going on in a given piece, but Stoner’s reference to the circus seems apropos for these tall, jumbled abstractions. Francis Carlet’s aggregation of three “Dragon Flys” can be seen in the trees in front of the Burlington Electric Department. These, too, are made of weathered steel, but are more modest in scale; the largest is about five feet tall, the other two closer to four feet. Carlet combined small shapes and items, such as chains, gears and other mechanical detritus, into freestanding, vertical compositions that resemble neither dragons nor flies. Instead, they are lively abstractions that seem frozen mid-frolic. Carlet’s installation is essentially three steel assemblages that interact with one another despite being separated by several yards. A tandem team of “Saw Horse Horses” by Robert Hitzig straddles the train tracks in front of the Maltex Building. The Montpelier artist’s equines are a bit bigger than life size and made of weathered, 2-by-6-inch boards. The horses’ eyes are screws and washers, while their manes are outward-pointing

AN INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT IN THE CATEGORY THIS YEAR:

SEVERAL OF THE PIECES INCLUDE MULTIPLE COMPONENTS. Next door, in front of Farrell Vending, Bruce Hathaway placed five silvery, stainless-steel standing ribbons collectively titled “Jumpin’ Fish.” Each is like a twisting, Dr. Seussian ladder, with the bands in each “Dragon Flys” (detail) by Francis Carlet fish resembling rungs. There are four or five fish per structure, connected nails. Hitzig is best known for his highly nose to tail. Some jump polished, tinted-wood wall pieces that upward, while others cascade downhighlight the medium’s grains. “Saw ward.

blue elements connected back to back, like a wave. They seem about to roll over a 3-foot-tall, dried-out driftwood stump. Though its color is bright, the sculpture has a somber tone. Many outdoor sculptures from previous years have been permanently installed — the Art Hop program, available at locations throughout the South End, indicates what’s what. Each Hop offers an opportunity to regard these works anew. Good art has a pretty long shelf life, after all. When have you ever heard someone complain that Michelangelo’s “David” was too old?

rom his rural studio in East Montpelier, artist Hal Mayforth has issued a veritable army of little people. They’ve populated the print world for more than three decades, and, unless you never read, you’ve probably encountered his distinctive brood of excitable, big-eyed, bulbous-nosed characters. Mayforth’s quirky, brightly colored illustrations have appeared in publications as varied as the Wall Street Journal, the AARP magazine, the New York Times, Outside, Road & Track and a host of computer, science and health magazines. Mayforth’s prolific, one-man art factory also produces whimsical pen-and-ink and watercolor works for calendars, postcards, giclée prints and light-switch covers, as well as larger acrylic paintings. He further satisfies his artistic soul playing guitar in central Vermont blues band the Heckhounds. At this weekend’s South End Art Hop in Burlington, thousands of viewers will be able to see a selection of works by Mayforth, one of Vermont’s best-known comic artists … outside the state. The exhibit marks a return to the Hop, and to home, for this Burlington native. Mayforth will show at the Brickels Gallery in the Soda Plant, sharing quarters with John Brickels’ clever clay sculptures of vintage vehicles and entropic buildings. “I grew up literally around the corner from it,” says Mayforth of the Pine Street venue. His childhood on Locust Street was imprinted with aromas from the Maltex Building, a former cereal factory. Mayforth’s father, now 90, was a car racer and auto importer whose dealership, Carpenter and Mayforth, introduced Vermonters to then-exotic Saabs, Volvos and MGs in the 1960s. Square jawed, with a burly build and short-cropped hair, Mayforth, 60, is driven by both artistic and basic make-a-living impulses — “to keep the wolves at bay,” as he puts it. “If you’re freelancing, you’re always wondering where the next job is coming from,” he says. Perhaps so, but Mayforth is in the echelon of illustrators whose work is so well known that art directors call them. “I’ve been doing it so long, people know me,” he says modestly. “I have a lot of recurring customers.” Mayforth’s cluttered studio, located above his garage with a wonderful view of Plainfield’s Spruce Mountain, is zoned for the different parts of his day, and life: There’s a paint-spattered corner with an easel and jumbled tubes of acrylic paint; a corner desktop with a large computer monitor and work table; a table where he draws his characters and works in

when art directors need illustrations to enliven complex or lengthy articles.

his sketchbook; an array of guitar cases tucked in a corner. At the heart of Mayforth’s art is his sketchbook discipline. He uses a Crow Quill pen to draw for an hour every morning, after first sitting quietly for 20 minutes.

“I find meditation clears my mind and often allows the good stuff to come in,” he says. In the sketchbook he pens a mix of whimsy, topical subjects, “off-kilter” humor, clever captions and characters, which sometimes evolve into semifinished works. At this point Mayforth has hundreds of sketchbooks, each of them providing snapshots of his mind at work. “This is where all my ideas come from,” he explains. “These are my points of departure.” In one recent example, a big-eyed, bearded character wearing a Boston Bruins jersey struggles to hoist the Stanley Cup. It’s goalie Tim Thomas, who recently received a hero’s welcome in Burlington.

The caption reads: “Damn, this thing is heavy.” Because Mayforth’s illustrations are humorous and easily scalable, he’s on speed dial when art directors need illustrations to enliven complex or lengthy articles. “The illustration business is how I make money, how I pay the bills,” Mayforth says. Last week he was playing with ideas to accompany a magazine article on human organs. Not easy. But Mayforth enjoys the challenge of what he calls “problem solving.” His fertile imagination scampers in all sorts of topical and artistic directions. In a comical-but-trenchant poster created after the BP Deep water Horizon well blowout, two herons drip with oil. In the caption, one bird reasons: “On the plus side, my flaky, itchy skin seems to have subsided.” Some of Mayforth’s ideas are silly non sequiturs — such as “Bad Math Man,” in which a red-caped superhero wears a shirt emblazoned with “4 + 2 = 8.” Mayforth’s acrylic paintings generally contain a bright mix of symbolic, almost hieroglyphic features and idiosyncratic lettering. Conceptually, his subjects are “all over the map,” he notes in “the dreaded artist’s statement.” As for his colorful, zany watercolor characters, imagine Leonardo da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man” stoned and warped in a fun-house mirror. Mayforth attended the University of Vermont for two years and then switched to Skidmore College, where an art instructor told him to start keeping a sketchbook. He’s been doing it ever since. Mayforth’s drawing career took off when he landed in the Bay State, just as the use of computers was spawning related technology magazines — all of them looking for art. “When I was in Boston, it was like the perfect storm,” he says. Mayforth later moved to New Hampshire. In 1992, a stroke of luck led him to his current property in East Montpelier, where he has raised three boys with his wife, Ellen. Living the solitary artist’s life, Mayforth says he’s excited to reconnect with his hometown and the Hop, and to display his art to Vermonters. But he explains that it’s not about feeding an artist’s ego. “It just feels good,” Mayforth says. m

movies Apollo 18 ★★

have to admit that when I first saw the trailer for Spanish director Gonzalo López-Gallego’s entry into the foundfootage horror genre, I bought the possibility that his picture might have the right stuff. A top-secret moon mission. A terrifying discovery. Grainy footage of the whole thing shot by the astronauts themselves. What’s not to like? Well, as it turns out, just about everything other than the film’s premise. For one thing, the director and first-time screenwriter Brian Miller take forever to get their story off the ground. The movie clocks in at less than an hour and a half, and the only reason it’s that long is the shameless amount of padding with which its creators front-load it. In this case, the launch isn’t delayed by bad weather or technical glitches but by a succession of superfluous touches: faux-documentary-style interviews with the cleancut crew (Ryan Robbins, Lloyd Owen and Warren Christie); footage of the men being briefed on and preparing for the mission; and faded-color home movies of the astronauts and their families enjoying a beery backyard barbecue. It’s a bad sign when a filmmaker isn’t in a hurry to get to his good stuff.

Some time before the closing credits roll, however, we do lift off. The idea is that it’s 1974, and the Apollo program has officially shut down for budgetary reasons. NASA has unfinished business on the lunar surface, though, so the three men tell their wives they’re going on a routine training exercise and take off for the moon instead. The movie never explains how you launch a Saturn V rocket without anybody noticing. Once Owen and Christie touch down, we learn why the mission has been kept a secret. Well, we learn, at any rate, that the reason has something to do with the Russians. As in much of the movie, what’s actually happening as the guys go about their business is unclear, owing to a combination of confusing dialogue and an overreliance on scratchy, jumpy video designed to re-create the look of the images beamed to TVs during the real Apollo flights. In the course of setting up Cold War antimissile systems or radar scanners or creemee stands — it’s hard to tell and hardly matters — the astronauts learn they are not alone. The moon rocks they collect start shape-shifting into lethally infectious spidery deals. One of the two is attacked and

WASTE OF SPACE López-Gallego’s Englishlanguage debut succeeds in being perhaps the dullest film ever in both the sci-fi and found-footage genres.

begins to show signs of madness, while the other is dismayed to learn the government is thinking of leaving him there to prevent contamination back home. If all this doesn’t sound terribly interesting or scary, that’s because it’s not. The vérité stuff is humdrum, because that’s the nature of work with lots of downtime. Until its close encounter, the crew makes a lot of extremely small talk while cooped up in the capsule. The horror stuff is also consistently unsatisfying, because we barely glimpse the little creatures with all the shaky-cam nonsense going on — not to mention the story’s other nonsensical elements. The movie never explains, for example, how a gaggle of sand-crab-sized critters manages to overturn a large lunar rover. Or where these beas-

ties were during the first 17 Apollo missions. Or who’s shooting the footage when both astronauts are in the frame. Houston, we have a turkey. The cast does a craftsmanlike job, but the meager material keeps it from bringing the characters to believable life. The cinematography is effective enough; the “classified” clips certainly look like ’70s NASA video, but Miller’s script has scant good use for them. As for López-Gallego, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Apollo 18 is his first Englishlanguage film. Maybe his talent was lost in translation. The bottom line: In space, no one can hear you ask for your money back. RICK KISONAK

The Debt ★★★

he Debt has received a slew of positive reviews, but some, on closer inspection, betray a secondary note of disappointment. After a summer when Hollywood brought us a record number of sequels, remakes and films whose heroes and conflicts were enhanced with digital wizardry, it’s hard not to harbor high expectations for a historical thriller starring Helen Mirren and directed by John Madden, of Shakespeare in Love fame. Finally, some weary moviegoers may surmise, a drama with no cowboys, aliens, wizards, robots, talking animals or superheroes, just good acting and a gripping, thought-provoking plot. Well, sort of. The Debt has just enough of those elements to satisfy anyone jonesing for an “adult” thriller on the big screen. But its script doesn’t offer enough twists, turns or quandaries to make it a truly memorable entry in the genre. The first credit on that script goes to Matthew Vaughn, the writer-director of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class, and it shows. After a slow, effective buildup, The Debt goes for a fairly predictable, action-oriented denouement. It doesn’t go overboard on the ass kicking, but it doesn’t give all its thrills real-world weight, either. Mirren plays Rachel Singer, a retired Mossad agent whose greatest achieve-

ment was hunting down a Josef Mengeletype Nazi doctor when she was just 25. Her grown daughter has published a book about the case, drawing Rachel’s two ex-partners, Stephan and David (Tom Wilkinson and Ciáran Hinds), to her launch party. While Rachel publicly accepts the laurels, her tense demeanor suggests that the trio’s 1965 mission didn’t unfold quite as the book tells it. David’s abrupt suicide strengthens that suspicion — and moves the film into flashback mode. The Debt’s best scenes take place in blue-tinged, claustrophobic, Cold Warera East Berlin, where the young Rachel, David and Stephan (Jessica Chastain, Sam Worthington and Marton Csokas, respectively) use cunning to approach their prey (Jesper Christensen) in his postwar guise as a courtly gynecologist. Unluckily for Rachel, she’s the one qualified to get in the stirrups. The cat-and-mouse game becomes twosided when the wily old Nazi uses the young agents’ weaknesses against them. The script strongly hints that Rachel and David lost their parents to the camps, a trauma that left them volatile and vulnerable. But we never learn the details, nor do we come to know the agents beyond our first impressions of them: Stephan is flip and worldly, David distant and damaged, and Rachel eager to prove herself.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Chastain and Worthington play Israeli agents on the trail of a notorious Nazi in Madden’s thriller.

The young actors do their best with the limited material, and despite a distracting lack of resemblance to their older counterparts. (It doesn’t help at all that Hinds looks more like Csokas than like Worthington.) When we return to the present, and Mirrenas-Rachel faces her “debt,” the film should rise to a crescendo, fraught with revelations of the past. Instead, this is where it slopes toward conventional catching-a-bad-guy drama. If this summer of not-great movies leaves us with anything worthwhile, it’s the rising

star of Jessica Chastain. Somehow the previously obscure actress managed to be both affecting and convincing as a free-spirited Texan mother (The Tree of Life); a broadly comic trailer-trash gal made good (The Help); and a sensitive Israeli operative. She’s like the young Julia Roberts with range, and her emotional transparency compensates for The Debt’s lack of depth. Let’s hope she doesn’t end up headlining video-game adaptations.
