TUCSON MODERISM WEEK
october
Fri 30 – Sat 8 Tucson Modernism Week 2016, presented by the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation takes place Friday, September 30th through Saturday, October 8th. The celebration will feature a series of programs, film, lectures and events highlighting Tucson’s Mid-century Modern design and architecture throughout the city, along with the very popular Vintage Trailer show. The Fabulous Modernist Cocktail Party has become one of Tucson’s premier intimate events for people who relish the first-hand experience of hanging out in ultrahip surroundings while sipping cocktails and listening to music. Sharing an appreciation of the Mid-Century era with others is not to be missed. Slip on those stilettos and break out the sharkskin suit. Shop for Mid-Century treasures at the Mid-Century Modern Expo Marketplace and peruse the exhibit Thunderbird: The Silver Work of Frank Patania during the opening weekend. Visit the popular Vintage Trailer Show. Take the tour bus to Nogales to visit the modernist architectural treasures on the border.
Mid-Century Modern Expo Marketplace - Firday, September 30th | opening gala | 7:00PM- 9:30PM, Satuday, October 1st | 9:00AM - 4:00PM, Sunday, October 2nd | 9:00AM - 3:00PM photo by Bill Sears
The Home Tour takes place on Sunday, October 2nd, with a spectacular selection of five homes designed by Tucson’s most celebrated architects of the Mid-Century era. Art Brown and Tom Gist homes are prominent in this year’s tour. Afterward, head to the Loft Theatre to see Mid-Century humorist, Charles Phoenix presenting his Retro Space Age Slide Show. The Space Race Fashion, Architecture and Music Closing Reception will be at the fabulous Flandrau Science Center, featuring a fashion show of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronaut’s wives-era apparel. Tucson’s Modernism captured the exuberance of the post WWII era, and is defined by clean, simple lines and a casual informality. In the Southern Arizona desert the movement has come to be defined as Sonoran Modern with the use of regional materials, adaptation to the desert climate and an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living.

Based on the 1923 book of the same name by renowned best selling early 20th century Tucson author Harold Bell Wright, the film was shot entirely on location in the Tucson basin, Oracle and in the Canada del Oro in spring of 1924. The film originally premiered at the Historic Rialto Theater in the fall of 1924. Saturday, October 22, 9:00pm Red Room - The U.S. premiere of narrative feature Beast.

october Tucson Film & Music Festival fri 7 - sun 9 TFMF celebrates filmmaking and music at an annual, multi-day event in Tucso, showcasing music-related films with a special nod to films and filmmakers that have a connection to Arizona or the desert southwest. Celebrating its 12th anniversary, the Tucson Film & Music Festival (TFMF) has screened over 285 films since its inception in 2005. Highlights inlcude: Friday October 7, the opening night film is the Southwest premiere of We’ve Forgotten More Than We Even Knew, the story of a man and a woman wandering through a post-apocalyptic landscape searching for home encounter a mysterious stranger who jeopardizes their future. This sci-fi drama stars Aaron Stanford (X-Men, The Hills Have Eyes), Louisa Krause (The Phenom, Martha Marcy May Marlene) and screen legend Doug Jones (Pan’s Labyrinthe, Hell Boy II). A Q&A with director Thomas Woodrow and producer Michelle Cameron will follow the screening. Saturday October 8, the festival presents its Centerpiece film, the World premiere of Dead Bullet. Filmed in both Arizona and Nevada, this modern desert noir action film is about a gambler’s illegal deal to cash out stolen casino chips to ruthless criminals which quickly ensues into an outbreak of violence, causing the deaths of many people, including those he cares about most. Following the film, there will be a Q&A with producer Joshua Nitschke and lead actor John T. Woods. The closing night film is an Arizona premiere of an incredible music documentary, Gary Numan: Android In La La Land. This intimate biopic about the electronic artist Gary Numan explores love and second chances for Numan as he moves his family to Los Angeles while recording and touring his newest album, Splinter. With exclusive access to the Numan family as they unpack in California, the story unfolds at home, in the studio and on the road, revealing the many contradictions and misconceptions of a man who is forever pushing the boundaries of musical innovation. More details, including venue information, please visit tucsonfilmfest.com

Open Studio Tour x 4! Tucson’s Fall Open Studio Tour is in for a big change this year. The tour will be refocused geographically and divided over four weekends in October and November, incorporating grassroots tours like Art Trails and Heart of Tucson Art. Having the tour organized by area over multiple weekends is expected to allow the public more opportunities to participate and make navigation easier. The Fall Open Studio Tour in Southern Arizona is one of the largest, self-guided tours of artist studios and creative work spaces in the region. The mission is to support and promote local artists who work and exhibit in Southern Arizona. Visitors are invited into the artists’ studios free of charge, to engage directly with their work and learn more about their artistic process. This year, the tour is supported with grant monies from The Arts Foundation and presented by
Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance. For more information, including maps and a listing of participating artists, please see the next several pages of Zócalo and visit OpenStudioTours.com Open Studio Tour Weekends: Weekend Weekend Weekend Weekend

2016 All Souls Procession Featured Artist by Lisa Jo Roden

Each year, the All Souls Procession selects a single artist to capture the essence of the event visually for use in promotion. This year’s partnership is with Tucson artist and teacher, Danny Martin (also this month’s Zócalo Magazine cover artist.) Danny considers drawing to be his language and his best foot forward as a human being. You might find Danny around town sipping bottomless mugs of coffee while sketching characters who wear sugar skull faces and rest somewhere between dead and alive. The presence of these “cowgals and dudes” in his sketchbook’s repertoire made him a sure choice to represent the sacred procession. Danny’s high contrast black and white style and the success of his first title, the Tucson Neon Sign Coloring Book has led him to produce a 2nd coloring book, Cowgals and Dudes, a 60-page perfect bound book, set to be released in October with Wood & Pulp ($15, Woodandpulp.com). Inside you’ll find Danny’s take on the media history of westerns through the vacant eyes of these theatrical and eerie figure drawings influenced by 30s-60s pulps and the stylings of comic book innovators, Jaime Hernandez and Jack Kirby. Danny’s role as the featured artist of the Procession is an essential one, as he is designing what will be printed on the shirts, posters, calendars and other merchandise that are sold to keep the procession in motion. It’s not a sponsored event, individuals have been maintaining the momentum of this for a quarter of a century. That also means the organizers, Nadia Hagen and Paul Weir, can maintain creative control and keep it organic, authentic and absolutely free. Their organization, Many Mouths One Stomach, is a truly local institution putting their efforts towards dedication to human healing. This year’s artwork, a veiled cowgal with a sculpted pompadour, is the centerpiece for Danny’s design, “I studied old greek and roman sculptures from antiquity when drawing her hair, it’s a mix between that and going for that 80s hair metal look,” says Danny. “The idea of a powerful female as the grim reaper and using elements of theatricality and ambiguity to make you question if she is wearing costuming or if she is a real character from that time period. It removes the subject multiple steps from reality so you wonder who she is, alive or dead, human or immortal.” Visit Danny (Danny Martin Art) online on Facebook and Instagram.

Liam Pace catches air at Premises Indoor BMX/Skate Park, 330 S. Toole Ave
Indoor Rec
Downtown Warehouse District Turning into an Indoor Sports Mecca by Craig Baker When Rocks and Ropes opened on South Toole Avenue in 1992, they were one of the first dedicated indoor climbing gyms in the nation. They were also essentially the only business in the neighborhood (now called Millville) that had found a renewed purpose, outside of large-scale storage, in the partiallyabandoned warehouse district they called home. In fact, before they moved in the 1990s, their building had served for a number of years as Tucson Frozen Storage and, until the addition of several neighboring organizations over the last couple of years, Rocks and Ropes manager Luke Bertelsen says that there were still elements of the storage facility strewn about the enormous warehouse in areas not maintained by the climbing facility. Rocks and Ropes reigned as the sole public attraction in the area until about 2007, when Barrio Brewing Company relocated their beer-making operations from Gentle Ben’s on University to their current spot at 800 E. 16th Street. Four years later, in the spring of 2011, Premises Indoor BMX/Skate Park moved into the vacant space on the Rocks and Ropes building’s north end and, two years after that, Get Air Trampoline Park opened to the south. Just down the street to the west, Maracana Indoor Sports Arena opened in 2010 and, finally, in June of this year, Autobahn Indoor Raceway opened its 9th facility in the nation just a block north of Rocks and Ropes at 300 S. Toole Avenue, marking a definite shift
in the area from warehouse district toward something of an indoor-activities Mecca for Tucsonans. “We’ve been the one constant, I guess, through all of the different iterations (of this neighborhood),” Bertelsen says, “First, we were here but this was kind of a shady part of town…and then gradually we’ve had these businesses come in that are kind of indoor recreational facilities that have stuck around, and that’s been neat to see.” Where it was once in question, the attraction to the area for business owners has become crystal clear in recent years. Jesse Blum is an Industrial Real Estate Broker for CBRE Inc. (the largest real estate company in the world) and he manages the account for the property owner who holds the title on many of the buildings in that region. Blum says that, not only is the warehouse property competitively priced when compared to the rest of Tucson’s real estate market for similar spaces, but its real appeal is its proximity to both downtown and the University of Arizona. This, he says, is what drew in the first entertainmentbased occupants years ago and, since the downtown redevelopment project was finished in 2013, he says it’s likely that this trend will continue. “What’s become the draw there for business owners is that, over time, they’ve created this synergistic quality of tenants who focus on entertainment and leisure

>>> activities,” Blum says. He says that the property owner has seen this transition favorably and that they intend to continue to “brand (the area) as an activities hub” and will “continue to look for those types of users” moving forward. Joel Lipp, who manages the recently opened Autobahn Indoor Speedway in Tucson, says that in addition to the newly-rejuvenated downtown and proximity to UA, Autobahn’s Corporate Office was equally enthused by the addition of the Caterpillar Headquarters here, which effectively bolstered an already-solid bank of potential corporate partnerships from entities like Raytheon and nearby Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. “They were looking for old warehouses similar to (the current location),” Lipp says, “and the neat thing they found here was kind of an entertainment corridor that all happened to be in this vicinity.” In the case of Premises BMX/Skate Park, the relocation to a burgeoning district was really secondary to their need for space. But Ramp Builder and Manager, Arnold Tellez, says that the growth of that district has had a positive effect on their traffic. Tellez explains that he and owner Ian Abbott “wanted to be in the central/downtown area,” but when they relocated from the Leunen Sofa Factory at Speedway and Main in 2011, many of the streets downtown were still under construction, which made the new location that much harder to access. Now, he says, “it’s getting to the point where parents will go to the race track or go rock climbing and bring their kids here—or they’ll come here and take their kids to Get Air.” He says that Premises and the nearby trampoline park even partnered up over the summer to offer a summer camp with multilocational appeal, and that he’d like to see a pass come into existence which allows access to each of the indoor recreation centers in the area. CBRE Inc.’s First Vice President and Commercial Real Estate Broker, Buzz Isaacson, has been working in real estate downtown for the last thirtyfive years. He says it’s easy to see what makes this area (referred to as the Cushing Business Center by those in commercial real estate circles) attractive to both indoor recreational business owners and consumers of those services, alike. “I think it’s very simple,” he says. “It all relates to our downtown being reactivated…It used to be that there was a debate: is downtown going to be anything; is downtown cool; do you feel comfortable going downtown?” But, he says, thanks to the recent construction and business efforts, plus the strength of the art scene and popularity of events like Second Saturdays and Dia de los Muertos, “All of that is behind us now.” “There have been real reasons for people to go downtown,” Isaacson says, “so the community’s comfortable with it, they understand it, and they love to explore it…Downtown’s not a dead zone anymore. It’s not a place where people feel uncomfortable going, and it’s got a cool factor to it that’s understood, not just in this community, but I hear that from people all over the country.” As a result of that “cool factor,” Isaacson expects that the trend toward indoor entertainment will likely continue in the area. “The only thing that will hold it back,” he explains, “is that there’s just not a ton of inventory there.” Despite limits on availability, the development of the area as a downtown entertainment district is good news for local entrepreneurs, and for those seeking thrills in the comfort of an air-conditioned sports facility. n

Few women artists of the late 1920s and 1930s have achieved the near cult-like acclaim and adoration that Mexican painter Frida Kahlo has, since her passing in 1954. Embraced by the surrealists, folk artists and modern art movement alike Kahlo presented unflinchingly honest portraits that blended her dreams and real life in a fashion never seen before or afterwards. Part of the allure for many fans of Kahlo was the window into her private life, that her art opened. A large part of that world were the personal gardens she kept in her home, La Casa Azul (The Blue House). Starting this month, Tucsonans will have a unique opportunity to view a special exhibition at the Tucson Botanical Gardens entitled Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden Life that recreates these gardens. The show originated at the New York Botanical Garden and was a blockbuster that is now only traveling to one other location—Tucson. The show in New York took four years to create as it focused on Kahlo’s unique relationship with nature in her artwork, specifically Mexico’s diverse plant life and her interaction in the garden. The Tucson Botanical Garden staff worked for two years to secure this unprecedented road version of the NYC shows which features most of the exhibition that wowed audiences in New York. Given the differences between the two exhibition spaces, (in NYC and Tucson) some changes had to be made to the show, which actually opened up an opportunity for collaboration between the Gardens and Etherton Gallery, who had just the right element to add—portraits of Frida by acclaimed photographer Nickolas Muray. Muray, who created some of the most iconic photographs of Frida, actually helped a generation of art lovers appreciate the artist in conjunction with her own striking self-portraits. The images from the Muray archive, that are on display in the Botanical Garden’s Porter Hall gallery, depict the artist as only another artist could, and since Muray also engaged in a ten-year love affair with Kahlo, he also had unprecedented access to her. Muray, a Hungarianborn American photographer and Olympic fencer, became one of the most sought-after portrait photographers of his era starting in the 1920s. His tenyear affair with Frida lasted mostly from 1931-1939, a formative period for both artists. Following their final breakup in 1941, Muray’s pioneering work in color photography for commercial clients was also a hallmark of his career alongside the striking images of Frida. The 15 portraits of Kahlo in the show are a mixture of color and black and white contemporary limited-edition images, which cover a large period of time. Muray in fact photographed Kahlo more than any other photographer, so his work is considered to be unmatched in its depth and breadth and for capturing this amazingly strong, complicated and at times tortured artist. Outside of the Porter Hall gallery the Art, Garden Life show replicates not only specific elements of La Casa Azul, but elements of the house interior to better depict the interaction between the indoor and outdoor spaces. While the Tucson version of the Art, Garden, Life show does not feature some of the actual artifacts from the house or actual artworks, the experience is remarkably immersive in that one can almost imagine walking through the garden while Frida paints in one corner. This added dimension to the art experience is a welcome addition to the traditional art on walls model, and hopefully will lead to other similar experiences with artists whose working environments so informed their finished works. n Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life and portraits of Frida Kahlo by Nickolas Muray is on display at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way through May 31, 2017. Visit TucsonBotanical.org for tickets and hours of operation.

2406 E HAWTHORNE OPEN HOUSE
Saturday, October 29 11:00 am to 2:00 pm A unique opportunity in Sam Hughes. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1936 streamline moderne home is brimming with character: • Corner windows • Original oak floors • Courtyard design • Fireplace • Festive exterior paint • Large swimming pool • Large .47 acre lot Priced at $777,000.
In 1948, Mildred Fish offered her courtyard patio to young Ted DeGrazia, who sought a location to “paint large.” This piece, his largest remaining mural, was completed after the time he spent in Mexico City with Orozco and Rivera. It exemplifies his interest in the working class experience in Mexico: the hard work, the marketplace, the culture, and the sadness. This early work captures a snapshot of his evolving depiction of the human form, working toward the style for which he is so well known.

Restoring a Piece of Tucson’s Art History A Patio Mural by Ted DeGrazia By Diane C. Taylor
S
uffering from severe arthritis, Robert Fish, with his wife Mildred, moved from New York City to Tucson and a house at 2406 E. Hawthorne, in Tucson’s Sam Hughes neighborhood. The year was 1940. While Robert worked as a columnist for one of the local newspapers, Mildred pursued her interest in modern art. She got involved with local modern art aficionados, where she met a young painter named Ettore DeGrazia, known as Ted, according to her grandson, Don Arnosti. DeGrazia was born in 1909 in Morenci, then Arizona Territory, the son of Italian immigrants. By 1941 he was becoming known for his art, and in 1942 he went to Mexico City, where he worked as an apprentice to Diego Rivera, a foremost muralist, and José Clemente Orozco. In 1944 he was back in Tucson, where he lived until his death in 1982. He has been described as “the world’s most reproduced artist”. At some point after his return from Mexico -- records seem to have been lost -- Mildred Fish offered her patio to DeGrazia, who was looking for a space to paint a mural. The Fish family sold the house in the mid1950s. Fast forward to 2016. After the death of the long-time owner, the family hired Sharlette (Charlie) Burton, a freelance fine art conservator and painter, to repair the mural in preparation for the sale of the house. Trained in England, Burton has been working on the repairs since April. She is also the conservator for the DeGrazia Foundation, which gives her a unique familiarity with his work. “Parts are missing,” she said. “Some photos of the mural appeared in the March 1949 Arizona Highways.” No records have been found as to how long it took for DeGrazia to paint the mural. He came back to sign it “circa 1948”. Mildred and Robert’s daughter Constance -- Don Arnosti’s mother -- was away at college when the mural was painted; she remembers it, but different from the way it looks today, Arnosti said. The original painting was done in oil. The wall was never preserved, Burton explained. She wasn’t even sure if it had ever been properly prepared. What she found, when she was called in, was chipped and flaking paint and missing parts. Many of the lower portions were missing or very faint due to the elements and the upper parts were flaking due to the ramada’s leaking. Burton is spending a lot of time re-adhering flakes of paint where possible, sometimes putting new gesso on the wall. The wall is quite porous, so she’s working to fix it so the paint will adhere. The repairs are a challenge, though, since paint, gesso and filler dry out really fast in the heat. It’s been over 100 a lot in the last month or so, she pointed out. For the future, she can’t seal the wall too much, because it would trap moisture, causing other problems. Looking at old photos, it’s clear that the mural was once larger. Part of the patio walls have been painted over, and, looking at old photos, what appeared to be an Arizona room with windows is now a covered patio. Also, the portion on the east wall is very different from the rest of the mural, Burton pointed out. “DeGrazia

never used names, and this has several names: Rob, Juanita, Conita, Pescad….” And the topic of the mural? Burton explained that it was completed after the time DeGrazia spent in Mexico City with Orozco and Diego Rivera, two of Mexico’s most famous muralists. “It exemplifies his interest in the workingclass experience in Mexico: the hard work, the marketplace, the culture and the sadness,” she said. “This early work captures a snapshot of his evolving depiction of the human form, working toward the style for which he’s so well known.” “I think the wall well represents many aspects that Ted liked to paint,” she continued. “He did so many paintings with either cocks or cock fights. His brother used to have cock fights at their Tucson house, but not at the studio. And having possibly religious people is very typical.” Burton found that characters going to market or carrying baskets with flowers are also very typical. However, the big lilies are a flower she hasn’t seen as often in DeGrazia’s work. She finds his other murals aren’t usually so crowded with figures or so full of color. “The images just crowd the wall. Usually I have seen simpler shapes on wall murals and much less.” Asked about the value of the mural, she said it’s hard to appraise, since it can’t be removed. This is the only known mural of this type by DeGrazia. And for the future? The current owners have been in touch with Demion Clinco of the Tucson Historic Preservation Foundation. The foundation has presented a preservation plan to the owners, but nothing has been agreed to yet. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, built in 1936, is itself an excellent example of “streamline moderne,” Clinco added. In the meantime, Burton’s working about three days a week, continuing to fill in the blanks. She’s documenting every day’s work, to show the progress and to help with future maintenance. “It’s like a puzzle,” she explained. “I’m trying to go by pictures, using the knowledge I’ve gained from work I’ve done restoring other pieces of his. I find an outline, underpaint, the original paint, and work from there.” She expects to be done in October or November. n 50 ZOCALOMAGAZINE.com | October 2016

Todas las cosas tienen su tiempo… Eclesiastés
To everything there is a time… Ecclesiastes
Ciertos días, durante ciertos minutos. cuando la cuerda suelta de las doce da su primer latigazo, pienso en mis vecinos.
Some days, some minutes, when the loose curve of twelve o’clock cracks its first whip, I think about my neighbors.
Pienso: ésa es mi cuota de humanidad, mi alma y su cifra más cercana, mi bíblico número de la carne, mi arcilla creada con su arcilla.
I think: this is my share of humanity, my soul and its nearest digit, my biblical number of flesh, my clay created with their clay.
Y no digo: he aquí una cosa nueva, otra madera, otra leña, otro hueso roído entre lo bueno y lo malo, otra astilla raspada por el juicio;
And I don’t say: here is something new, some other timber, someone else’s firewood, some other bone gnawed down between good and bad, some other splinter sanded down by justice;
sino que miro debajo del sol y pienso de nuevo: sí, mi suerte es la suya, el mismo árbol caído, la rama trunca, la misma hacha, el mismo cinto hundido en el pelaje de una pura bestia.
instead I see under the sun and again I think: yes, my fate is theirs, the same fallen tree, chopped limb, same ax, same collar biting into the pelt of a pure beast.
Y me digo: entre mis vecinos y yo, entre su casa y la mía, cielo tras inútil cielo, no hay tiempo aún de amor, pero hay tiempo a veces de odio. Y así van pasando esos días, aunque yo no quiera, y así también se van perdiendo.
And I tell myself: between my neighbors and me, between their house and mine, sky after useless sky, there is not yet a time for love, but there is a time, now and then, for hate. And so the days pass against my will, and so they are wasted forever.

Crystal Radio Ghost In You, self released By Carl Hanni
work from Diaz and group drumming), sets the mood. Jon Villa adds some spooky mariachi trumpet and Marco Rosano adds baritone sax to the stately “Spirit Room” (and to several other tracks), which also has some great guitar and vocals from Sullivan. Rosano’s sax and Naim Amor’s strings add heft to the fabulous “All But a Dream,” the most up tempo track on the record. All of the tracks offer another angle of entry into the band’s netherworld. Diaz’s understated keyboard work is key through out, as is Sullivan’s guitar playing, some of his most distinctive to date. You’ll find several Crystal Radio videos online, as well as info about the custom made Crystal Theremin that D.M.D. made for Poe from a vintage crystal radio (circa 1900), which she occasionally plays on the record and live. It’s reapportion and transformation from one sort of musical device into another is a perfect manifestation of the transmutation Crystal Radio aspire to, sending messages from the past to the present via unseen waves, bridging the living to the dead. n

Like Jerome, the AZ mining town that inspired it, Crystal Radio mines a deep vein of rich ore and lore on their debut CD, Ghost In You. The first of two completed records (the second, Cleopatra Hill, has a release date tba), Ghost In You spins complex webs of channeled spirits, ghostly stories and high desert mysticism through its seven original songs. Part project, part band, part state of mind, Crystal Radio is the latest incarnation of Tucson locals Daniel Martin Diaz and Amelia Poe (aka Paula Catherine Valencia), with a big help from the ever-evolving Gabriel Sullivan, who signed on as both producer and guitar player. Well traveled drummer Winston Watson (currently playing with Sullivan in XIXA) is on drums, while Giant Sand bass player Thøger Lund provides the bottom end. Several other locals add to the mix on various tracks, as well as mixing and matching for live shows. A couple of tracks were recorded in Denmark with members of Desoto Caucus and the European version of Giant Sand, where the record was also mixed by Nikolaj Heyman; the rest were recorded at Ghost Town Studio in Jerome, and at Sullivan’s studio in Tucson. Locals already know Valencia and Diaz from their previous band, Blind Devine, and Diaz of course is an internationally renowned graphic artist, painter, album cover artist and builder of the Crystal Radio Clever Fox Tremolo Guitar Pedal and the Crystal Theremin. But Poe is front and center in Crystal Radio, singing in her deeply expressive, smoky voice, writing all of the lyrics, and projecting shifting new and old west imagery, channeling spirits, talking with the dead, blurring the lines between dreamscapes and waking hallucinations. This is tricky stuff to pull off; a step to the right or left, and it could easily collapse under the weight of it’s own pretensions. Fortunately, Crystal Radio find the sweet spot and wrap themselves in it like one of Lord Byron’s cloaks, and have produced an album rich in atmospherics and texture, a western Gothic song cycle that unfolds in a dream-like series of stories and vignettes. The band has crafted the perfect backdrop for Poe’s channeling, a hypnotic, down tempo sonic space built out of Sullivan and Diaz’s tremolo drenched guitars, sparse keyboards, minimal horns, occasional strings and a subtle rhythm section. The funeral-march paced “Ghost In You” (led by some mournful keyboard

What's Live
tunes Z
End of an Era by Jim LIpson
This month's column begins with the sad news that one of Tucson's most venerable venues, the Boondocks Lounge, that place on North First Avenue with the supersized concrete wine bottle in front, is no more, having closed its doors to live music for the last time on Monday, September 26. Never has a place so proudly worn the moniker dive as did this place where the sound could be challenging and the lighting dark, but where the vibe was pure family and the blues never felt so good. While summers are often challenging for club owners in the live music scene, the recent Facebook announcement from co-owner Cathy Warner announcing the closing of the bar, took everyone by surprise. Warner and husband and partner Bill Shew however, had long been fighting the good fight in trying to avoid the inevitable for some time. As we go to press Warner says the owners of the building and property have given her no indication as to what they will or won’t do with the building or business. “This business is not for the faint of heart,” she said in a phone interview several hours after the news had gone public. “And we are certainly not that!” But she went on to talk about the struggles with the slow summer season, monies still owed for mechanical licensing agreements (ASCAP, BMI) and the recent death of the property's landlord, all conspiring to make it clear that business as usual was no longer an option. “We've put our blood sweat and tears into this place,” said Warner, “and we care so much for everyone—the musicians, our customers and especially our employees. Ultimately they were the ones who told us we needed to take care of ourselves.” This kind of loyalty is generally not the norm in the live music biz. For more than 20 years at the Boondocks, however, as well as several years in the 1980s when they owned and brought live music to the Chicago Bar, Warner and Shew and have been an uncommon friend to all– musicians especially, treating them with a professionalism and respect so often lacking in the chaotic local music scene. Warner and Shew were also generous to a fault, offering up their establishment as a place for countless benefits on behalf of individuals and organizations, often throwing in a percentage of food and drink sales as a part of the take. For regular nights they were also happy to share 100 per cent of the cover charge with the performers when it exceeded their guarantee. As for Warner (and Shew), "We're not going anywhere so you can expect to see us out and about. Mostly though, we're excited to have more time with our granddaughter who is truly the apple of our eye!" Follow up comments on social media were mixed with fond remembrances and appreciations but also a terse admonition or two that places like the Boondocks need to be supported if they are to thrive. And by not just showing
up, but also generating business through sales of alcohol, soft drinks and food which ultimately is the lifeblood of a club. With all that in mind, here are some opportunities to get out and support live music... The Head and the Heart – Fox Theatre, Thursday, October 6 – Across the land there are perhaps a thousand or so really great bands no one has ever heard of. Once in a great while even though they haven't got the big name recognition (yet), one of them will buck the odds and start to make it on its own. This band, originally from Seattle, with a debut release on the Sub Pop label, represents a refreshing brand of new pop music with its tunefulness, energy, musicianship, and a likability factor that does not require one to be ultra-hip to enjoy. While its live videos show a band best captured in a club-like setting, its nice when an up and coming group like this can enjoy a classy place like the Fox. Howe Gelb's 60th Birthday Yip – Rialto Theatre, Saturday, October 22. Love him or hate him, there is no denying Howe Gelb is a true Tucson original. Possibly more revered in Europe than in his own home town, Gelb brings a show that will include this month's version of Giant Sand (deemed Giant Sand Plus) along John Doe and Exene Cervenka. Doe and Cervenka of the seminal LA punk band X, have also been caught doing stripped down acoustic arrangements of some of their work with the Knitters (their countrified outfit that also included Dave Alvin). Hard to say exactly what might go down at the show except to say fans of any of these folks will not be disappointed. Ronstadt Generations – Flycatcher, Saturday, October 15 – Word on the street has it they may be auditioning for a hot shot LA producer. Expect a full compliment of Ronstadts along with drummer Aaron Emery, recently transplanted to LA, who will be back in town for this gig. Neil Young, Thursday, October 6, Ava Ampitheatre Jackson Brown – Friday, October 7, Fox Theatre While neither of these icons need to be supported financially or shown the big love, they continue to be at the top of their game as creative artists and performers. Don't be filled with regrets should the opportunity to see them in these kinds of places no longer be available. Heather Hardy Band – Tursday/Friday, November 3/4 – OK, so technically this is not until November but if you don't pick up this rag at the beginning of the month you're liable to miss this so mark your calendar now. These dates will be extra special as Hardy will be recording her newest CD, Live in Tucson. Don't be the one who screams something wildly inappropriate at just the wrong time, but do be part of the energy that makes her shows so special. n October 2016 | ZOCALOMAGAZINE.com 57
