5 great things to do this week

#1

Climate DoC

#2

String trio

Scranton native Rebecca Marshall Ferris (Miller’s Tale) brings her latest film to the 570 on Wednesday, April 29, when the The Lackawanna College Environmental Education Center (LCEEC) in Covington Township screens Can’t Stop the Water. The short documentary follows a band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw Indians forced to evacaute the shrinking Isle de Jean Charles in the Louisana bayou where they’ve lived off the land for more than 170 years. Environmental problems that have overwhelmed the island include coastal erosion, lack of soil renewal, oil company and government canals, as well as a sea level rise from climate change. A meet-and-greet with the filmmaker takes place at 7 p.m., followed by the film at 7:30 p.m. and a panel discussion at 8 p.m. with Ferris, North Pocono CARE president Bonnie Smith and Lackawanna College environmental policy professor Lawrence Pugliese. Admission is free and advance registration is suggested. Refreshments will be served. Call (570) 842-1506 or visit cottagefilms.com for more information. — ag

Named after a Tennessee river for its “dynamic and powerful” attributes, string music trio Harpeth Rising fuses folk with contemporary bluegrass, rock and classical music.

Based in Nashville, Hapeth Rising features (from left) Rebecca Reed-Lunn on banjo, violinist Jordana Greenberg and Maria Di Meglio on cello. The musicians joined forces after Greenberg and Reed-Lunn spent a summer jamming at campsites and bluegrass festivals across the country and decided the adventure didn’t have to end. Currently performing in support of their fifth release, Shifted, the band will play a Harmony Presents showcase in the Boiler Room at the Hawley Silk Mill on Saturday, April 25, at 8 p.m. Their original songs “layer rich instrumental arrangements with four part haromies and lyrics that depict wanderlust, eternal curiosity, class struggle and extraordinary love,” according to an annoucement for the concert. Tickets are $16 in advance or $20 at the door. Snacks, coffee, wine and beer will sold by neighboring Cocoon Coffee House prior to the performance and during intermission. Call (570) 588-8077 or visit harmonypresents.com for more information. — ag

SOUNDS

FANCIFUL TALES

THE DECEMBERISTS — What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World THE GOOD: Portland, Oregon’s favorite sons (and daughter) return with their seventh folkcolored indie collection.

THE BAD: World will not go down as one of the band’s more memorable sets. The album satisfies, but if ranked, probably ends up somewhere in the middle of the group’s catalog.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Frontman and main songwriter Colin Meloy leads his crew through tunes both bouncy (“Philomena”) and reserved (“12/17/12”). Pretty melodies and diverse arrangements aren’t in short supply. That expected mix of modern pop/rock with just the right amount of “old world charm” is certainly intact.

However, the sinister humor and colorful set pieces of former efforts are one again slightly lacking. “Better Not Wake the Baby” comes close to those wicked yarns from past records like “A Cautionary Song” and “The Rake’s Song.” But even that cut is more of a mood piece than a twisted bedtime story.

BUY IT?: Still … sure. But here’s hoping the next one is more captivating.

TWO GALLANTS — We Are Undone THE GOOD: San Francisco duo Two Gallants give us a downtrodden fifth.

THE BAD: Undone is good, but not as engaging as past efforts.

BUY IT?: Adam Stephens (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Tyson Vogel (drums, guitar) often get lumped into the “folk-rock” category.

Probably because, despite the fact that their songs are often drenched in guitar noise and pounding drum beats, there is a certain intimacy to them all. The guys could unplug, get real close and quiet and the compositions would be equally powerful.

Undone finds the pair unhappy with their surroundings. Whether it’s feeling alienated by

24 A p r i l 2 3 , 2 0 1 5

the economic urban upswing of their hometown, cherished relationships gone sour, or the state of the world at large, Stephens’ raspy voice is constantly brooding about one thing or another.

Still, the record is not a complete downer. The boys still know a great melody can always be uplifting and Undone is not without its soaring appealing tunes.

BUY IT?: Why not?

VETIVER — Complete Strangers THE GOOD: California-based folk-rock outfit Vetiver (singer/songwriter Andy Cabic and a rotating list of back-up musicians) gives us a rhythmic (believe it or not) sixth.

THE BAD: Strangers kind of “floats”; its individual parts drifting in and out of your focused attention. This is a “mood” record, not a collection of incredibly memorable songs.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Opening cut “Stranger Still” sets up the album’s atmosphere. It’s an extended and slow-building track where the tune itself forms hazily over a pronounced yet gentle beat. A lot of the songs on Strangers put that same juxtaposition to very good use.

We get a natural sounding, tranquil and largely acoustic foreground set over an ever-soslightly pulsating backdrop. Tracks like “Current Carry” and the ambitious, slightly orchestral “Edgar” blur the lines between a lush green forest during the day and animated city late at night. “Loose Ends” is just about the only song that breaks the mood with a big burst of catchy jangle pop.

Celebrate roCk 107’s birthday bash with lou Gramm, the VoiCe of foreiGner

W

e aren’t playing “Head Games.” Lou Gramm, the former lead singer of the Billboard-topping band Foreigner, is coming to the 570 to rock Rock 107’s 35th Birthday Bash.

Lou Gramm was the voice of Foreigner, so it seems fitting that he tours under that title now. In the current lineup, Gramm’s brother Ben joins in on drums, Andy Knoll tickles the ivories, AD Zimmer plucks the bass and Michael Staertow handles the guitar. According to Gramm, “it’s a real tight band.”

Born Louis Andrew Grammatico in Rochester, New York, he idolized the Beatles and knew that music was his calling. He must have chosen wisely, because Gramm’s was the voice that fronted all of Foreigner’s biggest hits, like “Juke Box Hero,” “Feels Like the First Time” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You.” Gramm was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2013, but don’t ask him to choose a favorite song. “Songs are like your kids, so it’s tough to say which is your favorite,” he told electric city and diamond city.

these ideas yet, but it’s exciting enough just to do it.

Are there any “wow” moments you can remember? People you’ve met or moments that just stand out to you?

Well, I remember one time in the early ’80s, when Foreigner played Munich. We came off the stage after our last song and we were going to go back on for an encore. We walked into our dressing room and Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were there. They asked if they could come up and jam with us. They came on stage with us and we did a little version of “Whole Lotta Love,” “Stairway to Heaven” “Hot Blooded” and we had a ball. That was a great, great moment.

Your life changed when Foreigner exploded in 1977. Do you remember that feeling?

Oh, totally. I was playing in a band that had a recording contract with Capitol Records — it was called Black Sheep. We had two albums out, but we were opening for KISS and our equipment truck slid off the New York State Thruway and crashed with all of our equipment, so basically, that was the end of the band. I was on public assistance and I lou Gramm, the voice of foreigner, will headline rock 107’s 35th birthday bash this thursday, april 23, at the woodlands inn and resort, route 315, wilkes-barre happened to get a call from Mick Jones (guitarist and founder of Foreigner) who had a Black Sheep Would you get together and play again? we decided to play one of the songs we had just album and was wondering if I was interested in I don’t know if we will or not, but you know, like recorded for our second album — a song no one auditioning for his new band — yet unnamed. had ever heard before. We played “Hot Blooded.” It I said, our friendship is good again and we’ve kind of loosely agreed to do some writing together, so brought the house down.

What moment said, “We made it?” that’s kind of nice. I look forward to that. If there’s After our first album, we were almost done a possibility that we do a few shows together, then Is there still any bad blood between you and recording the second album and we were asked great. And if we don’t, I’m OK with that too.

Mick Jones? to play something called “Cal Jam II.” It was in No. About a year-and-a-half, two years ago, we front of 500,000 people in California and we were You two will just kick things around to see were inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame the first band to go on. We played every song where it goes? together and we performed together for the first from our first album. We walked off the stage and Yeah, I think it will be for a solo album of his or time in over a decade.

We mended fences and people wanted us to play one more. They were mine or maybe something we do together, just as we’re friends again — which is good. cheering and standing and shouting. We looked at a project, you know?

There is no definite home for each other — we didn’t have one more song! So,

What are your plans for the future?

I tour mostly in the summertime and have some fun, play some fun shows and in the winter when there’s not a lot of open-air concerts, we kind of woodshed and write some songs. Then, in the springtime, we go back out again. We don’t go out on bus tours where we’re out for six or eight months at a time. We play weekends and it’s kind of nice because then you can spend time with your family and keep yourself grounded and look forward to rocking the house every Friday and Saturday. It’s a balanced life. Because you can burn out on the road. Believe me, I’ve been there.

You mentioned future plans for the band.

What are they?

I have hobbies. I like to drive American muscle cars. I have a few of my own and I go to car shows.

My youngest kids are in high school and they’re both athletes so I see them play on their teams.

One [of my oldest sons] is a chef and he’s on the verge of getting his own restaurant, so that’s kind of exciting. There’s a lot in my life that’s going on and, although I love music, I don’t want to miss any of it.

ThE CounTdown To

#ThEBrEakdown a ClosEr look aT aCTs Coming To CaBinET’s susquEhanna BrEakdown musiC FEsTival Pennsylvania Bluegrass outfit, Cabinet, in conjunction with Live Nation, will host its third annual music festival, The Susquehanna Breakdown, on May 9, at The Pavilion at Montage Mountain. The family-friendly gathering will feature a variety of musical acts (local, regional and national), craft and food vending and much more. Here is a closer look at one of the many performing acts playing at #TheBreakdown.

Bill Evans’ soulgrass Band members: Bill Evans (saxes/keyboards/vocals), Murali Coryell (guitar, vocals), Mitch Stein (guitar, vocals), Dave Anderson (bass) and Joel Rosenblatt (drums).

Genre: Jam/ funk / soul / blues / jazz Year started: 2005 Releases: Soulgrass ( which snagged a Grammy nomination), The Other Side of Something, Dragonfly, Live in Moscow and many more.

Hometown: Clarendon Hills, Illinois

Website: billevanssax.com Influences: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Umphreys McGee, Dave Matthews, Bruce Hornsby, Jimi Hendrix For folks that aren’t familiar with your music, how would you describe your sound?

We are a combination of soul, Americana, jam and funk blended in with some jazz inflections and some serious jazz/rock solo shreddology (the study of shredding at the highest level).

What can audiences expect to see at a live show?

Some serious grooves, improv, vocals and jams — and Soulgrass style-songs we recently recorded with Warren Haynes and Gregg Allman.

What are you looking forward to most about your Susquehanna Breakdown performance?

Looking forward to playing some of the new music we played on our recent tour of Russia. We just got back last week from a 10-city tour there and the band will kick some serious ass — to put it bluntly.

Any special plans for your set?

Murali Coryell with sing his brand of soul/ funk and we will rock the place. There are some great soloists in this band. These guys can play anything.

What are your plans for the rest of 2015 (new album, tour, hot dog eating contest)?

I’m finishing a new CD right now — I’m almost done. The singers on the CD include Warren Haynes, Anders Osborne, JJ Grey and Gregg Allman for starters. Not bad! Plus the rhythm section is Marco Benevento and Joe Russo. I hope to play more with Phil Lesh and Friends as well.

If you had the opportunity to work with any artist, alive or dead, who would it be?

To be honest, I’ve played with almost all the folks I’ve ever wanted to play with. No kidding.

I’m very lucky. Maybe Jimi Hendrix, to name someone.

The Susquehanna Breakdown Festival takes place Saturday, May 9, at the Pavilion at Montage Mountain. Guests can arrive Friday, May 8, at 5 p.m. to camp on Montage Mountain and attend a performance by Cabinet and others that evening.

Advance tickets are $25 for general admission, $60 for VIP and $15 for camping (plus applicable fees). Tickets are available at the Pavilion at Montage Mountain box office, Ticketmaster outlets, over the phone at (800) 745-3000 and online at ticketmaster.com and susquehannabreakdown. com.

(The Washington Times) • Drone operators won’t need a pilot’s license, according to draft rules for commercial drones announced by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Instead, the agency proposed that drones weighing less than 55 pounds that are well maintained and checked before flight can be flown by operators who’ve passed a basic aeronautical test. The drones would have to stay below 500 feet, fly only in daylight and not over people, and remain in view of their operators at all times. Amazon said the last requirement would prevent it starting its drone-delivery service.

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

OPENING THIS WEEK

Age of Adaline Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman In this PG-13-fantasy romance, a young woman (Lively) rendered ageless by an accident and forced to live a solitary life meets a man (Huisman) who might be worth losing her immortality for. The Plus: The material. Some time travel romances have a knack for becoming, well, timeless (Somewhere in Time, Midnight in Paris). Here, Lee Toland Krieger (Celeste & Jesse Forever) directs an original story that features actors Lively (Savages), Huisman (HBO’s Game of Thrones), Amanda Crew (The Identical), Harrison Ford (42) and Ellen Burstyn (Interstellar). The Minus: The odds. Somewhere in Time only became a cult hit after years in the home video market. The Time Traveler’s Wife and About Time never found much of an audience, meaning this sub-genre has about as much a chance at working at the box office as a broken clock does at telling the right time.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 Kevin James, Raini Rodriguez ½ — Mall Rots Blart-ing out any trace of entertainment value, this unwanted, unnecessary and undesirable comedy cop-out mauls any laughs thanks to recycled material so juvenile that the Disney Channel would reject it for airtime. In this PG-rated comedy, mall cop Paul Blart (James) heads to Las Vegas for a security guard expo with his teenage daughter (Rodriguez), only to discover a heist that he’s intent on foiling. Loud, broad and god-awful, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 plays out like a bad kid’s movie mistakenly marketed to adults. An incompetent, he pratfalls about while facing basic challenges. An annoyance, he embarrasses his daughter while being overbearing. An unfortunate, he stumbles into victory purely by accident. An irritant, he gets rendered unlikable by putting him — and audiences — through the same sad paces as in the last goround … which was pure garbage. The script renders him so incompetent, annoying, unfortunate and irritating that moviegoers end up hating this ne’er-do-well not sympathizing with his unfunny failure. A forced second helping of a cold dish that few people enjoyed to begin with, this sequel re-heats and adds more of the Z-grade shtick that made 2009’s Paul Blart: Mall Cop so utterly painful to watch. A poor man’s Chris Farley, Kevin James fills the fat funny man vacancy in Adam Sandler’s stable of stars. A frequent Sand-man collaborator, this former star of CBS’s King of Queens realized this lovable lunk role again (I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry) and again (The Zookeeper). In fact, with Grown Ups, which was filled with just about ONLY ex-SNL castmates (Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Chris Nealon), he took on a role that would’ve been Farley’s for the taking had he lived (unlike James, Farley was an SNL cast member from the same period as the aforementioned). The difference? Farley killed both slapstick and cerebral comic patter. James nails only the former ... and barely. Relegated to PG-rated buffoonish clowning that’s not entertaining to neither children NOR adults, his Paul Blart: Mall Cop is an unfunny failure as both a character and as a comedy.

The Water Diviner Russell Crowe, Jai Courtney In this R-rated drama, an Australian man (Crowe) travels to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli to try and locate his three missing sons. The Plus: The players. An Oscar winner himself for his starring turn in A Beautiful Mind, Crowe makes his directorial debut with this, an adaptation of the novel

by Andrew Anastasios and Meaghan-Wilson Anastasios. Here, he directs himself (Noah), Courtney (Divergent), Isabal Lucas (Red Dawn) and Olga Kurylenko (The November Man). The Minus: The odds. Sometimes actors strike gold when making their directorial debut (Zach Braff, Garden State; Ben Affleck, Gone Baby Gone; Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Don Jon). Sometimes, they strike fool’s gold (Ryan Gosling, Lost River). Either way, a highminded hard-hitting drama dropping on the eve of popcorn blockbuster season won’t hold a lot of water.

Furious 7 Vin Diesel, Paul Walker HH1/2 — Hokey and the Bandit Souping up the action and thrills to a ludicrous degree while gumming up the machinery with melodrama, this sequel might not be the best or worst of the series but it definitely wins the prize for biggest and most explosive. In this PG-13-rated 6th sequel in the gearhead action series, new big bad Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) seeks revenge against Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and his gang (Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster) for the death of his brother with government agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) caught in the middle. To its credit, some of the most pulse-pounding stunts ever imagined get realized in this high octane actioner. It also features some of the dumbest exposition ever crammed into a screenplay — even for a muscle-bound street racing series that called its first sequel 2 Fast 2 Furious. Too often, Furious 7 tries downshifting into soap opera when it should be injecting Nitrous and speeding toward a fast and furious finish. Whenever the action stops and we get bogged down in, say, Letty’s amnesia, this flick really grinds its gears. Their curtain-closing send-off to Walker, who tragically died during production, proves nothing short of classy.

SMALL SCREENS

It Follows Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist HHHH — Teenage Graceland Intelligent, entertaining and effectively scary, It Follows might ape some classic ’80s thrillers, but it’s a masterstroke of modern horror cinema all of its own. In this R-rated horror flick, a young woman (Monroe) gets followed by an unknown supernatural force after getting involved in a sexual encounter. Sure, we’ve seen virginal teens stalked by homicidal maniacs but never by the stigma of losing one’s virginity.

The material works on many levels but stops short of becoming too meta because it is — at its jackrabbit paced heart — a brilliantly staged straight-ahead horror flick. It makes you think but not too much because you’re having the Bejesus scared out of you. With long takes and synthesized music that would feel at home on USA’s Up All Night 30 years ago, It Follows waxes nostalgic but somehow feels timeless.

The rotating faces of the unknown terror makes for a monster for the ages. Judgement and comeuppance comes from any direction in an unrecognizable changing form? With an ace cast filled with fresh faced actors devoid of big names and marquee faces, John Robert Mitchell’s lean atmospheric thriller nails the genre with every terrifying beat.

Get Hard Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart HH — Limp Biscuits Missing a great opportunity to take a provocatively Hard look at class and race under a satiric microscope, Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart’s team-up takes a softball approach to both that neither completely wastes their talents nor presents an out-and-out laugh-riot. In this R-rated comedy, San Quentin-bound millionaire James King (Ferrell) gets nailed for fraud, so he turns to pretend-ex-con Darnell Lewis (Hart) to prep him to go behind bars. Even at 30 years and counting, Trading Places accomplishes this fish-out-of-water brand of comedy much better. Most of the bits and exchanges in Get Hard prove too broad to offer pointed commentary on a Recession-embattled society where inequality remains part of the daily discussion. Post-Bernie Madoff and post-Ferguson America is ripe for the riffing, but Get Hard mostly goes for low blows rather than smart upper cuts, reducing ethnic groups and tax brackets to mere caricatures. With better material, this twosome could’ve been funnier but — with a juvenile title like Get Hard — you were wrong to expect anything else than gross-out humor and knockabout pratfalls.

DVD The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) Tommy Lee Jones, Barry Pepper HHHH — All the Pretty Hosesense With Russell Crowe making his directorial debut with The Water Diviner, Small Screens takes a look back at an actor’s A-Level directorial debut 10 years ago. In this R-rated modern western, Ranch hand Pete Perkins (Jones) looks to fulfill the promise to his recently deceased best friend by burying him in his hometown in Mexico with the help of the careless man who shot him (Pepper). Two years before No Country for Old Men gave filmgoers an instant 21st century classic, one of that film’s stars nailed the same serio-comic tone and stripped bare violence in a similar tale of the American West.

An offbeat and odd morality tale that burns in your memory, Tommy Lee Jones’ film nonetheless bleeds with all of the bullets and brawn masculinity exhibited in such Sam Peckinpah western classics as The Wild Bunch and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. You can hear the pitch black humor and laid-bare honesty of Cormac McCarthy in dialogue that’s exchanged like bullets in a shootout ... but it’s screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga and not the author of No Country for Old Men, All the Pretty Horses and Blood Meridian, who’s dreamt up this world that’s at times stark and raving mad but never completely stark raving mad. Jones’ Pete is a man of scruples, as is the actor’s direction. He tames Arriaga’s rugged dusty landscape and nails a role that’s just as much a scrupulous oddball.

Up Close & personal For the love of the Music Mike Dougherty completely relishes his time spent performing and entertaining crowds with his music. He divides his music into solo and band work, including his original music and cover band music. While his original music appears in his solo work and with one of his bands, Soul Shadows, he also delves into other cover band projects. The Shavertown native recently released an original album — The Rhythm of Our Hearts. He’s also very active in a plethora of cover band projects. Besides Soul Shadows, he has performed shows with the cover band Misty Mountain, performing its annual Led Zeppelin tribute. More recently, he and his good friend, Justin Mazer, formed The Backyard Ale House Funk Band, which played songs for the Backyard Ale House during Scranton’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Meet Mike Dougherty ...

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I’m originally from Shavertown. I attended Lake Lehman High School and am currently living in Kingston. When I was around 13 years old, I was very much into sports. Then one day, my dad brought up some of his old CDs and tapes and I came across the band Led Zeppelin.

I’d never heard of them before. Their music was insanely good. After listening to Led Zeppelin, I knew I had to learn how to play the guitar. I had to have something like that kind of music in my life. Once I saw the passion coming out of these artists, I was hooked and just wanted so much to be a part of that. Today, I dedicate a large part of my time to music, filling in my calendar with gigs and band projects. I can’t go a day without it.

What kind of music do you play?

My current music is a mixture of some older artists — Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder — who were some of my favorite influences from back in the day, as well as today’s artists, such as John Legend and Justin Timberlake. I try to mesh all of those artists together in my music, while also having a soul, chill funk vibe.

What will people hear when they listen to Soul Shadows?

I sing and play acoustic and electric guitar, along with a little bit of bass. Lately, I’ve been trying to learn how to play the keyboard. It’s been a process. It’s a completely different instrument from what I’m used to. But I want to learn it, because some artists, who’ve had a huge influence on me, record on them. So, I’d like to try and start writing music on piano after I have it down. As far as band members, we have a sax player, keyboard player, bass and drums.

Misty Mountain and, recently, the Backyard Ale House Funk Band. Soul Shadows consists of my original works and it’s probably the youngest of the three. We have played at the River Street Jazz Cafe and some events, but we’re still getting started.

Coming up, I’ll be singing with Misty Mountain in a Led Zeppelin tribute this Friday, April 24. Some of my friends and I will get together to do this about every six months. We’ll meet up at the River Street Jazz Cafe and play a night of Led Zeppelin. This is in connection with my past, which we still do in honor of our roots. My friend Justin Mazer and I have had bands together in the past, but still try to do this at least every year. It’s how we started out.

Without the big influence Led Zeppelin’s music had on us, we definitely wouldn’t be playing music today. The Backyard Ale House Funk Band came together not that long ago. The Backyard Ale House was looking for a band, so my friend Justin Mazer and I threw a band together. It was fun! We played during parade day, performing songs from the Family Stone, Jimmy Hendrix and Staple Singers.

Is there anything else you would like to mention about the three bands?

They’ve all come together nicely. Every time I play out with any of them, we just keep getting better and better. We really strive to capture the

essence of the music we are playing. I think we achieve this a lot of the time. We buckle down with practice and put a full effort into everything we do.

You have to in entertainment. Personally, I’d rather be labeled as an entertainer than as a musician, because that’s what I aim to do — entertain. There’s no greater feeling than just seeing people happy because of something you do.

Are there any specific performances or times you’ve had with your music that you find most memorable?

You can’t hear Led Zeppelin play live anymore, so it’s one of the best experiences to be able to play their songs as a cover band, which allows people to hear and enjoy their songs live again. I love when people rush to the stage, get close to the mic with me and sing every word along with me. It’s so awesome! And with my original music, I find it’s a very rewarding experience when someone has never heard a song before, doesn’t know it’s one of my originals and they decide to dance and sing to my song. After a couple of choruses, there is no better feeling than that.

You mentioned you perform solo work.

I do mostly fill my calendar with solo gigs.

That’s easier for me than getting a whole band

You released an album.

It’s called The Rhythm of Our Hearts. I have some solo work on there. But I hired studio musicians to back me up. I have a full band, including a horn player, percussion, bass, drums and backup singers. I do all the guitar work. People will find a fresh sound that they would not expect to hear come out of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. It’s really something new, fresh and local that I would definitely recommend people to check out.

It’s all original works and I don’t know too many other artists here who are releasing a solo album.

It’s also available on iTunes.

Where do you find material for your music?

I like to meet people. That’s where I derive a lot of material for my original music on a daily basis.

I love to walk my dog and just watch the town, gaining both good and bad influences from people and my local area.

Are there any other events or commitments you have regarding your music?

Something I do every week on Thursday is host open mic at the River Street Jazz Cafe. I’ve been doing that for a while and it’s something I’d like to continue for some time. One of my main goals is to encourage younger people to come out and further develop their music there. It’s a comfortable environment where people can pretty much play whatever they want. People do not just play music either. They’re welcome to do poetry or comedy in front of the mic. I’d like to find some artists that would like to possibly play with me in the future.

You can never have too many people performing with you. It’s always nice to get a good group of artists together.

How were you able to get your music career started?

We’ve had a lot of help from both our parents and local bands in the area. As I mentioned earlier, my dad was largely instrumental in my taking up music. When my friends and I were around 16 or 17, local bands saw that we were young and gave us guidance. We definitely wouldn’t be doing what we are today without the support we received from our parents and those local artists.

What gave you the idea to name the band Soul Shadows?

One of the hardest things when you are in a band is naming it. Everyone has their own opinion on what they want the band to be called. Usually, a percentage of the ideas are really bad. But we came up with Soul Shadows while working on a song by Bill Withers named “Soul Shadows.” It was the way we were playing and vibing to the music that we thought this could be our song and who we really are. So, we made it our band name. I don’t know if we will keep it as our permanent name, but you never know. It may be what we’ll stick with.

You have other music projects as well.

I’m in three separate bands — Soul Shadows,

together. The bars are looking for solo artists as well. Actually, most do. Not being a well-established artist in the area, I like to get my name around as a solo artist. But if I’m out playing solo, I’ll also tell people what bands I’m in and ask them to check out some of our shows.

For more information on Mike Dougherty, visit facebook.com/MikeDoughertyLive.

What future plans or goals do you hope to accomplish?

Within the next year, I’d like to release another album, along with being on tour for a while. It’d be nice to tour the United States and play everywhere I can and have a good time on the road with my music. One of my biggest goals is to be nominated for a Grammy. Just being acknowledged for something like that would be phenomenal, having that recognition and knowing what I’m doing is right.

/CULTURE

Tell us about your music.

I do a good deal of solo work where I’ll play anywhere from casinos to local bars. But right now I’m in a band called Soul Shadows. When we first started out, we were strictly a cover band. After some time, we incorporated my original works.

Performing at night, we started playing 50/50 of each, half original and half cover songs, including many songs from artists like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Bill Withers. My original songs consist of the songs that I’ve been working on for the past few years. With last year’s album, many of our songs were soul and R&B — very chill music.

I’d like to bring out more of a funky, party vibe in the next album. And that’s actually what I’m working on with the band right now.

Coal Power

The newly oPened Coal CiTy Tavern foCuses on food, drink, live musiC and more.

Coal City Tavern is the newest addition to the downtown Luzerne dining scene.

The restaurant on Main Street, which opened in March, includes a new bar and restaurant and music venue focusing on quality food and entertainment. Owner Bob Hogan owns the place and managers Kenny Golanoski and Stephanie Hill run the day-to-day operations.

“We want to be known for amazing cuisine,” said Golanoski, who also serves as executive chef.

The Coal City Tavern team has revitalized the building and created an atmosphere that’s welcoming and relaxing, Golanoski said. Hill did most of the decor, giving the place a modern feel with industrial touches. Metal beer signs and posters highlight the walls, as well as a case displaying unique vintage liquor bottles.

Golanoski said his concept for the restaurant was a place where customers could enjoy everything from “bar food to high-end seafood” in a casual setting. He spent much of his career working in Scranton, and is happy to return to working on the West Side, where he grew up.

“I come out here (to the dining room), it’s like a reunion every night,” he said. “I think that concept works in this area.”

Golanoski said he uses fresh, quality ingredients and customers appreciate that. People are more knowledgeable than ever about food, he said.

“Diners these days value food. They understand quality,” he said.

The Coal City Tavern menu features hand-cut steaks, gourmet burgers and pizzas and seafood.

Entrees include cedar roasted salmon, vegetable risotto and soy-ginger marinated tuna. Appetizers include seared sushi-grade tuna, beer crab dip and pretzel fingers — chicken strips breaded in a pretzel-panko breadcrumb served with a choice of dipping sauces.

The bar features 19 beers on tap and 60 bottle selections. Wines come from local business Nawrocki Imports of Plains Township.

Coal City Tavern, once well known as the Voodoo Lounge, features a spacious back room for musical acts. Tom Moran, sous chef and music planner, said he plans to bring in regional and national acts to the venue that fits about 600 people.

Since the venue is separate from the kitchen, patrons can come for the show and drink or dine in the restaurant before or after.

“I think it’ll fit well with the restaurant,” he

Floodwood featuring Al Schnier and Vinnie Amico of Moe will perform the inaugural show on April 24. Box of Rain with David Gans follows on April 25 with a tribute to 1969-1974 Grateful Dead — Gans was a friend of Jerry Garcia. Most shows will take place at 9 p.m., doors opening at 8 p.m.

Moran said he’s excited for future shows. (“I find joy in putting musicians on stage, and watching people enjoy it,” he said.)

Moran, whose worked in and opened several restaurants as a chef, spoke highly of Golanoski’s skill in the kitchen. The two worked together at the former Olive’s Mediterranean Grill in Wilkes-Barre.

“Kenny does a great job. A fabulous job,” he

said, reiterating that they concentrate on fresh ingredients. “People have a bigger freezer at home than we do here.”

Luzerne’s Main Street and surrounding area features many quality businesses, including fellow restaurants like Vaughn St. Bar and Grill and Hops

and Barley’s Bar and Restaurant. Golanoski said he likes that people can walk down the street and find several eateries to visit. He plans to add lunch hours in a few more weeks.

“This is a great location,” he said.

shake it till You Make it I’m new to online dating. I’m a nice, goodlooking guy with a good job, but I have a muscular condition that causes me to shake a lot. I’m not looking to fool anyone, but I don’t want to advertise my condition on my profile because it’s so personal.

My last date was several months ago, and it ended with her saying I was “creepy” because of my disability — a condition I was born with.

— Bummed Apparently, this last woman you dated is so used to wearing her heart on her sleeve that she failed to notice that most of it broke off (and is maybe still lying there with her driver’s-side mirror at the Burger King drive-thru).

The thing is, even women who might be open to dating a guy with a bit of a wiggle are likely to be miffed at having it withheld from them until the first date. They’d probably feel similarly if they were surprised by your actual height, weight, or species.

In other words, the underlying issue is the lack of disclosure, not the lack of sit-still-ness — which doesn’t justify for a second what this woman said to you. (Clearly, her disability — being a compassionless witch — is just less visible than yours.)

However, I’m not going to kumbaya you. Advertising yourself as “tall, dark, and shaky” wouldn’t be ideal. Even revealing it on the phone could lead to some painful date cancellations. But, as for your notion that your condition is “so personal,” a spastic colon is personal; a woman won’t know about yours unless it’s in such an advanced state that it cuts into conversation to correct her grammar. Your tremors, however, become public the moment you walk into a place to meet a woman — which is actually the perfect time to make a crack like, “Is it freezing in here, or do I have a muscular disorder?” Maybe while wearing a T-shirt with “That’s my groove thing I’m shaking.”

How dare I joke about a disability?! Truth be told, I can’t really take credit for this approach. I call it “The Callahan,” after my late quadriplegic cartoonist friend, John Callahan, who buzzed around Portland in a motorized wheelchair, cracking jokes like, “See my new shoes? I hear they’re very comfortable.”

Callahan understood that a person’s disability often becomes a big wall between them and the rest of us because we’re afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing. But through his refusal to, uh, pussychair around the subject, Callahan told people how the disabled want to be treated, which is “just

like everyone else.” And because the rest of us get poked fun of, Callahan did cartoons featuring disabled people. One of these has a posse on horseback in the desert looking down at an empty wheelchair. The posse leader reassures the others, “Don’t worry, he won’t get far on foot” — which became the title of Callahan’s autobiography.

Adopting a more Callahan-esque attitude — using humor — would allow you to set the tone for your condition to be just a fact about you instead of a fact people pity you for. And by offering to answer questions they might have, you can shrink any big scary mysteries down to a more manageable size.

For example: How permanent is your condition? Will it get worse? If we make babies together, what are the chances they’ll be vibrating in their crib?

And, no, I’m not going to tell you what 35 readers will write to tell me after this column comes out — that you should go on a dating site for people with disabilities. What I will tell you is that online dating isn’t an ideal venue for everyone. Plenty of non-disabled people find it brutal.

But there’s good news for you from some research by evolutionary psychologists Kevin Kniffin and David Sloan Wilson. On day one of a six-week archeological dig, they had students give their first impressions of the smarts, likability, and physical attractiveness of their new classmates. On the last day, the students re-rated one another. Well, it seems that physical attractiveness can be heavily influenced by personality and character. For example, a woman whose looks initially rated a measly 3.25 (out of 9) became a hardworking, popular member of the group. By the end of the course, her hotitude in other students’ eyes shot up to a 7.

In other words, if, beyond that shaky exterior, you’re a pretty great guy, you’re probably better off looking for dates in Meetup.com groups and other arenas where you’ll have continuing contact with women. Remember, you only need to charm that one girl — one who is so excited to find a sweet guy who reminds her of a movie star that she doesn’t mind that it happens to be Katharine Hepburn at 70.

provoked controversy. When a few of his paintings appeared at a major exhibition in Chicago, for example, local art students were shocked by what they called its freakishness.

They held a mock trial, convicted Matisse of artistic crimes and burned his painting “Blue Nude” in effigy. I don’t expect that you will face reactions quite as extreme as that in the coming weeks, Capricorn. But it will make sense to express yourself with such forceful creativity and originality that you risk inciting strong responses.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Leonardo da Vinci had skills in many fields, ranging from botany to engineering to cartography, but he is best known as a painter. And yet in his 67 years on the planet, he finished fewer than 40 paintings. He worked at a very gradual pace. The Mona Lisa took him 14 years!

That’s the kind of deliberate approach I’d like to see you experiment with in the coming weeks, Aquarius. Just for a while, see what it’s like to turn down your levels of speed and intensity. Have you heard of the Slow Food Movement? Have you read Carl Honoré’s book In Praise of Slowness? Do you know about Slow Travel, Slow Media and Slow Fashion?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Modern movies don’t scrimp on the use of the f-bomb. Actors in The Wolf of Wall Street spat it out 569 times. The word-that-rhymes-with-cluck was heard 326 times in End of Watch, while Brooklyn’s Finest racked up 270 and This Is the End erupted with an even 200. But this colorful word hasn’t always been so prominent a feature. Before 1967, no actor had ever uttered it on-screen. That year, Marianne Faithfull let it fly in the film I’ll Never Forget What’s’isname. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I invite you to break a taboo that’s maybe not as monumental as Faithfull’s quantum leap, but still fabulously fun and energizing. Be a liberator! End the repression! Release the blocked vitality!
