From the time of the ancient Anasazi, the Santa Fe area has been a trading center. The Santa Fe Trail is synonymous with the romance of the old west, and from the time of New Mexico statehood in 1912, Santa Fe has been a multicultural art center and shoppers’ paradise.
SantaFeDowntown.org
Santa Fe is a top US art center, with museums, shopping, year-round outdoor activities, top-flight restaurants, spas, and world famous cultural events. It’s not just your grandparents’ Santa Fe, it’s walkable, historic, charming, and exciting. A high desert destination of distinction and fun.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE
IT’S NO MYSTERY that Santa Fe offers a wide variety of cultural events every week. The pages of this magazine and our website are filled with activities that serve to stimulate your mind, your ears, your nose, your palate, and your eyes. This particular weekend of April 9 has lots of musical performances for any and all tastes. As I said, what really strikes me is the variety. Many of our Santa Fe regulars are out in force, so you can enjoy the talents of reliably great local musicians and artists. The Santa Fe Symphony is performing a wonderful concert featuring the work of Brahms and Sibelius that I’m particularly excited about. It’s truly outstanding that Santa Fe presents so much classical music to go with all its jazz, blues, country, and rock. When you look at the calendar in this issue of NOW, you’ll notice that the umbrella of Santa Fe’s cultural scene has gotten a little bigger. Argentine Tango Milonga comes to town, which allows us to stretch our cultural appreciation. What I especially noted was that Shakespeare is back, thanks to performances of Macbeth at the Santa Fe Playhouse. One thing that’s certain is that while Santa Fe may be far away from the cultural centers usually found in big cities, it doesn’t take a back seat to anyone when it comes to offering a weekend filled with cultural activities that come from many sources. Our job is to enjoy it.

On April 11, local choreographers and members of the Pedro Alejandro Dance and Dancers (PADD) company will perform Chancy Dancing, an original production presented by Ground Series, at the Railyard Performance Center. Modern dance, dance theater, and improvisational systems recently choreographed by Micaela Gardner, Adam McKinney, Echo Gustafson, and Emmaly Wiederholt will be presented in the first half of the performance. PADD takes the stage for the second half, when director Pedro Alejandro debuts Aleatory Remains, in which dancers must perform according to pre-prepared instructions that are drawn from a satchel in front of the audience. “Aleatory Remains is a choreographic examination of how ‘chance procedures’ challenge traditional notions of ownership and commercialization of dances as art objects and commodities,” Alejandro says. “The challenge for the dancers of making art in the moment allows for a shared, cocreated experience of dancemaking and dance-spectating.” Chancy Dancing producer Sarah Ashkin hopes the production will inspire similar ones in Santa Fe. “Chancy Dancing is just the start for platforms like Ground Series and other curators in town to honor our local progressive dance makers, as well as host visiting companies from around the country like Pedro Alejandro Dance and Dancers,” she says. “The common question for this group is: How can professional dancers become more integrated into the vibrant art scene that makes Santa Fe so special?” —Whitney Spivey Ground Series presents Chancy Dancing, April 11, 8 pm, $10, Railyard Performance Center, 1611 Paseo de Peralta PADD dancers (seen here in a past performance) will appear in Chancy Dancing on April 11.

Southwest Culinary Boot Camp If you’re going to splurge on a cooking class in Santa Fe, why not go all out with the Santa Fe School of Cooking’s Southwest Culinary Boot Camp? The intensive, three-day program covers everything from food history to cooking techniques and culminates in a final exam that involves designing and preparing a meal. The 12 participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to meet with some of the area’s top chefs and dine at Executive Chef Andrew Cooper’s table in the kitchen of Terra restaurant. “We often have moms and daughters [and] sons and dads attend; it’s a great way to spend some quality time with one another and have some fun in the kitchen,” says SFSC founder Susan Curtis. “You don’t have to have a lot of cooking experience to attend—just a curiosity [about] the cuisine of New Mexico and the Southwest and a thirst to hone your culinary skills and learn new ones while experiencing the camaraderie of like-minded food enthusiasts.”—WS Southwest Culinary Boot Camp, April 13–15, $1,325, Santa Fe School of Cooking, 125 N Guadalupe, santafeschoolofcooking.com April 9, 2015 NOW 3

Nuestra Música
NUESTRA MÚSICA, the only annual concert featuring the Hispano folk music of New Mexico, is celebrating its quinceañera at The Lensic on April 10. Though this important birthday marks a coming of age for the 15-year-old event, the music itself has been alive and well in New Mexico for hundreds of years. “The notion has always been to present the older traditional music of an indigenous culture, and after 20 generations, Hispano culture in New Mexico has certainly become indigenous,” says aural historian Jack Loeffler, who will be honored at this year’s concert for his dedication to preserving the state’s musical heritage. Loeffler—who’s produced numerous documentary films and 149 La Música de los Viejitos programs for public radio in addition to authoring several books—has been recording Hispanic folk music for 40 years. “I think the old music is still alive and less endangered than it was 25 years ago,” he notes, crediting Cipriano Vigil (1994 recipient of the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts), Frank McCulloch (2001 recipient
an evening of songs celebrating New Mexico’s musical heritage by Ash le y M. Big ge rs
of the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts), Roberto Mondragon (2012 recipient of the New Mexico Hispano Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award), and ethnomusicologist Brenda Romero with helping to preserve the music. All these New Mexico musical legends will play at this year’s concert, as will younger culture bearers such as David F. Garcia, a star student of Vigil’s and an emerging ethnomusicologist. “Many of the songs relate stories from earlier times and reflect the reality of cultural sustainability in an arid environment,” Loeffler says. “Our main purpose is to portray a beautiful tradition that links culture to this New Mexico homeland in a way that conveys the persistence and richness of continuity in this time of accelerated change.”
Until 2004, guitarist Cipriano Vigil (above) was a professor at Northern New Mexico College, where he also earned a doctorate in ethnomusicology.

foothills fun
outdoor adventure along the Dale Ball Trail System
16
santafeanNOW.com
If you’re visiting Santa Fe from lower elevations, be sure to rest often and stay hydrated—at more than 7,000 feet above sea level, the Dale Ball Trails offer challenging conditions for even seasoned athletes.
MANNY MAES
EXTENDING FROM ATALAYA Mountain to within a few miles of the Santa Fe National Forest’s Winsor Trail, the Dale Ball Trail System is a go-to place for many hikers, bikers, and runners seeking a memorable (and close-tohome) outdoor experience. The trails are particularly popular in the spring, as the open expanse of land is bathed in warm, snow-melting sunlight. The 23-mile network of winding trails looping around homes in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains was the brainchild of retired New Mexico businessman and Santa Fe Conservation Trust cofounder Dale Ball. Now 90 and living in Albuquerque, Ball had a vision of establishing a network of trails close to the heart of Santa Fe that was low enough in elevation to be used all year long. With easements secured through Santa Fe city and county land, money from a generous anonymous donor and the McCune Charitable Foundation, and hard work from hundreds of volunteers, the non-motorized-vehicle-only trail system became part of the local landscape in 2005. The system’s three interconnected parts—northern, central, and southern—link to other trails in the area, including the Dorothy Stewart (Santa Fe City) and Atalaya Mountain (Santa Fe National Forest) trails to the south. In 2012, about three miles of freshly cut trails were added to connect the northern tip of the Dale Ball system to the Winsor Trail in the national forest via La Piedra Trail. Much of the switchbacking Dale Ball system offers sweeping city views as well as panoramas of the Jemez, Sandia, and, at the highest points, Sangre de Cristo Mountains. There are 44 trail junctions, many with full signage, to help guide travelers along their way. The heavily used northern section, accessed from the Sierra del Norte trailhead on the west side of Hyde Park Road, comprises a series of short, fairly level circuits that wind through piñon and juniper trees. The central section, which is accessed just two miles from the Plaza off Upper Canyon Road at the Cerro Gordo trailhead, has longer stretches of trail between junctions and some challenging terrain that passes through arroyos and climbs up moderate
peaks. Ponderosa pines are found along the southern trails, which are accessed from the Dorothy Stewart trailhead near St. John’s College. This section includes steep climbs and is considered the most difficult part of the trail system. “Hard-core runners and hikers who want a more challenging climbing experience [prefer] the south trails, but you don’t find many mountain bikers there because it’s just too steep,” says Tim Rogers, trails program manager for the Santa Fe Conservation Trust, which works in conjunction with city and county personnel to maintain the trails. Mountain bikes and dogs on leash are welcome throughout the system, except on the Nature Conservancy Preserve Trail, which is near the Santa Fe River and designated for hikers only. “I walk on the Dale Ball Trails for the exercise,” says Santa Fean Margaret Alexander, who, as a member of the Trails Alliance of Santa Fe, has helped to maintain the Dale Ball system. “The terrain is always beautiful, much more lovely than the inside of a gym or any indoor space, and that aesthetic experience is important to me.”

Jared & The Mill the indie-folk-rockers bring their love of performing to their latest album and the Santa Fe stage
COLE KIBURZ/KACHINA COLLECTIVE
Jared & The Mill’s current tour includes a recent performance at SxSW in Austin, Texas.
THE SIX FRIENDS who make up Jared & The Mill are enduring the trials of being in the middle of a two-month, 30-city tour: When they were contacted for this article, their van was broken down in Atlanta, but they promised they’d make it to Santa Fe Sol for their April 15 show. The exhilarating and exhausting experience of playing back-to-back tours during the past three years is also the theme of the band’s second album, The Life We Chose, which releases April 14. “It takes a lot out of us every time we go on the road and face new challenges,” says lead singer Jared Kolesar. “We lose relationships and friends, we miss weddings and new family members being born. [The album is] about learning to live with the life we chose as musicians.” That said, the group isn’t complaining. They’re thoroughly enjoying earning their chops in the music business, especially because they’re doing it alongside their best buddies. The bearded twenty-somethings
grew up together in Phoenix, and they’ve only become closer during their time on the road. This unique bond feeds the band’s collaborative music-making process, says Kolesar, who writes the majority of the group’s songs. “I lay down the raw materials, the melody and words, and tell [the other band members] the feel I want the song to have,” Kolesar says. “Then I run [the song] through the mill. It’s a great system and so much fun creating together.” Banjo/mandolin player Michael Carter and lead guitarist Larry Gast III also contribute lyrics; accordion/keys player Gabe HallRodrigues, bassist Chuck Morris III, and drummer Josh Morin provide further input. Since they started jamming together in 2011, Jared & The Mill have played everywhere from sidewalks and bars to sold-out arenas, where they’ve shared the stage with The Killers, Cake, and Barry Gibb. “Being on the road gives me the opportunity to miss home, and that’s important,” Kolesar adds. “It allows you to really search yourself and become who you’re going to be.” Jared & The Mill, April 15, 7:30 pm, $12, Santa Fe Sol, 37 Fire Pl, solofsantafe.com, jaredandthemill.com April 9, 2015 NOW 17
Barrio Brinery As Santa Fe’s artisan food scene heats up—with a gourmet cheese shop, oil and vinegar boutiques, and specialty spice stores fueling the burgeoning market—it’s not surprising that a pickle emporium recently got in on the action. Barrio Brinery is the dream child of former Santa Fe Opera bartender Patrick Block, who now uses his mixology skills on simpler concoctions and to a more acerbic and briny effect. In a small and tidy pantry just west of St. Francis Drive, Block salts and seasons a variety of cucumbers and other vegetables with tart and tasty results. His quartet of house-made pickles (hot and spicy, half-sour, dill, and garlic), along with his fiery escabeche and kicky sauerkraut, will tickle the palate of anyone who appreciates all things fermented. Watch for his pungent products to appear on the plates and menus of local restaurants this spring, but in the meantime stop by the brinery and taste them for yourself. One man’s sour is another man’s sweet!—John Vollertsen Barrio Brinery, 1413-B W Alameda, barriobrinery.com

Andiamo!
DOUGLAS MERRIAM
Since 1995, Andiamo! has satisfied Santa Fe residents’ hunger for Mediterranean Italian food with classic dishes such as the seafood linguine seen here. “We start by cooking the mussels and clams in a bit of oil and garlic,” says Blanca Lopez, who works in the kitchen with chef Esteban Parra. “Then we add the sauce and the tilapia and shrimp and cover the pot for just a few minutes.” The seafood and the wide linguine noodles absorb some of the traditional sauce, which includes tomato paste, cream, white wine, and chile flakes; a saffron aioli is sparingly mixed with the entrée just before plating. Part of the permanent dinner menu, the decadent dish is topped with a sprinkle of bread crumbs and scallions.—Cristina Olds Andiamo!, 322 Garfield, andiamosantafe.com

Lorraine Gala Lewis
STUDIO Clay artist Lorraine Gala Lewis works out of her home studio in Albuquerque. Her pieces can be seen in downtown Santa Fe at True West.
Lewis’s pottery instructors included Otellie Loloma (Hopi), Manuelita Lovato (Santo Domingo), and Ralph Pardington. She was mentored by the renowned late Hopi potter Nathan Begaye.
replicating ancient works
A graduate of the Institute of American Indian Arts and the College of Santa Fe, Lorraine Gala Lewis (Laguna/Taos/Hopi) has been working with clay for 35 years. It wasn’t until 2008, however, that she met Western artist Bill Freeman, who inspired her to research and replicate pre-Columbian art forms from around the world. “The stories of our early paintings, petroglyphs, and rock carvings caused me to want to preserve the pottery culture that existed hundreds of years ago,” Lewis says. “With these authentic replications, I try to capture the aesthetic beauty and individuality of each piece and remain as close as possible to the original works.” —Whitney Spivey facebook.com/truewestsf, 505-982-0055 Lewis builds clay that she hand paints using an acrylic blend, to which she adds natural pigments and stains. Pieces are kiln fired.

White rarely paints with brushes, preferring instead to use palette knives and masonry tools that create texture in his abstract works. In 2014, Upon Reflection, a book showcasing and discussing White’s oil-oncustom-built-wood-panel paintings, was published.
Both necessity and invention have led to the evolution of artist Mark White’s sprawling 4,000-square-foot studio, where each room is dedicated to a different stage of making his well-known kinetic sculptures. The drive to continue exploring his creative process— as well as the success he’s had with his art—has propelled not only the growth of White’s studio but also his progression from a part-time to a full-time artist and the opening of his eponymous Canyon Road gallery, Mark White Fine Art, in 2009. —Ashley M.

Holly Wood
“I like the expressiveness of the line I get with brushwork,” says Wood, who compares her style to Japanese ink paintings.
inside the studio of one of the local “queens of cool” Santa Fe–based artist Holly Wood, who describes her creations as “painterly cartoonsurrealism with a little political commentary thrown in,” is building a new body of work to answer the current demand for her paintings. Some of her pieces were recently featured in an exhibition at the Harwood Museum in Taos called ¡Orale! The Kings and Queens of Cool, an overview of the post-pop or lowbrow movement. —Cristina Olds holly-wood.artistwebsites.com
Wood often creates a black-and-white base drawing that she later projects onto a canvas and paints with colorful acrylic gouache, as seen in Resort (here and above). “Resort is my prophetic view of Miami,” Wood says with a laugh.

#RevUpSantaFe Summer in Santa Fe means the Plaza area is often loud and crowded. But now, thanks to an initiative by local Sotheby’s realtors K. C. Martin and Jill Benjamin Blankenship, you can experience a quieter side of the city. Martin and Blankenship are leading #RevUpSantaFe, a weekly walk that starts at 9 am at the bandstand and meanders approximately two miles around downtown. “The goal is to take community members and visitors through different walking journeys in which they get to know or become reacquainted with downtown Santa Fe, their neighbors, and old friends while also making new friends and getting some exercise,” Martin says. “It’s fun, free, and a great way to get your Sunday morning off to a positive start while still having time for the rest of your other Sunday activities.” All ages and fitness levels are welcome. —Whitney Spivey K.

from the archives Cerrillos Road, 1964 In the 1930s, the automobile replaced the railroad as the most popular way to reach Santa Fe, and growth along Cerrillos Road exploded. Service stations and motels shot up, and in the 1960s the road was widened to four lanes. You can take Cerrillos Road south into its namesake town, a former mining village named by the Spanish, who found treasure in its “little hills.”—Whitney Spivey To see more images from the Palace of the Governors photo archives, visit pogphotoarchives.tumblr.com.

Game of Thrones Santa Fe premiere
STEPHEN LANG
On Saturday, March 28, Santa Fean George R. R. Martin, author of the best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series, welcomed guests—who sipped throughout the night on specialty beers and White Walker cocktails—to the City Different for the premiere of season five of the HBO show Game of Thrones, which is based on Martin’s novels. The glamour-filled evening kicked off with a La Boca–catered reception at Wheelhouse Art, followed by a screening of the first episode of season five at the Jean Cocteau Cinema, which Martin owns. An after party across the street from the Cocteau drew Hollywood stars currently in town filming the movie The Ridiculous Six, including Luke Wilson, Jorge Garcia, and Taylor Lautner.—Amy Hegarty

Jono Manson at El Mesón
For nearly 40 years, singer/songwriter Jono Manson has been performing on stages large and small. His songs have been heard on movie and television soundtracks, including the CW Network’s Hart of Dixie in 2014. One local fan who attended Manson’s January show at El Mesón described him and his bandmates as “lifelong musicians who jam well and perform well together. The show was the epitome of what local, live music is about: good, solid performances with everyone on stage listening to each other and doing their part, with some storytelling in between the songs.” Manson, the recipient of the 2014 Norman Petty Producer of the Year Award from the New Mexico Music Awards, is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new album he plans to produce in his own Santa Fe recording studio.—Cristina Olds April 9, 2015 NOW 29
