REDEMPTION BRASS by Gabriella Pleasant

What speaks to me most about this band is how they mirror their values in every step (or note) of their music. Photo property of Redemption Brass.

When thinking of the best location to search for the raw talent needed for a successful band, only some would think of Murrieta Valley High School. But that’s exactly how it began for Redemption Brass. All five members met in band class under the instruction of the passionate Mr. Anderson. Through his excellent work ethic and introspective approach, the individuals were able to express themselves more fully; a crucial first step to any successful artist. Banyon Bachman (who plays the Tenor Sax) states that Mr. Anderson was “someone that can get into your head, see what you’re thinking, and [then] get it out of you.” But being in such a positive environment was only the first step. The most important element, what really sets Redemption Brass apart, is the intricate assembly of the members. Every member, with the exception of Brandon Sparks “Sparky” (who rocks out on the drum set), play a brass instrument. This creates a unique platform as every member must use their own wind, their own dexterity, and funnel it into the manifestation of their musical selves. By keeping to the instrumentals, even instrumentals of the same category, they create a unique sound that appeals to the untrained ears. Instinctively, many listeners would dismiss an all brass band, because the general assumption is that using instruments within the same category will create the same, or similar, sounds. But Redemption Brass works to overcome that ideal. They not only want to spread their passion, but show their individuality by banding together against the stigma of the ‘band geek’ and ‘trumpet player’. They harness the full range that each instrument offers in order to dispel the notion that in order to rock, you must have an electric guitar, or in order to play jazz, you must focus on the saxophone. Redemption Brass wants to appeal to those of the younger generation who would see them and decide to go for the instrument they want, no matter what the stigma on that instrument is. To be able to use any instrument to better express your identity, instead of being forced into the identity of the instrument, is the foundational drive of the band. While that motivation is incredible, it was not the original force that drove these young men together. Back in August of last year, trumpet player Alex Tostado approached long time friends baritone sax player John Skinner and the aforementioned Banyon Bachman to join: him, trombone player Josh Griffin,

and drum expert Brandon “Sparky” Sparks for the Mr. Nighhawk pageant hosted by their school. They began to rehearse together last summer, along with a few additional members, but the pressures of school and the doubt of their peers transformed the band into what it is today. John Skinner and Banyon Bachman summarized those times: “We had a lot of people doubt us, people we grew up with” (Skinner). “It hurt, hearing our friends, people that we’ve been friends with for years in school, say that we’re never going to be anything” (Bachman). But the current band made it through by open communication. Bachman stated that “We’re free to talk about things. Do things need to change?” That open communication is vital to the structure of the band, which relies heavily on the wills of the individuals working for the betterment of the group. Since that talent show, they have been scooped up for private parties, Chain Reaction, the Shamrock Irish Pub, Franklin’s Cove, and many more venues. In fact, they were entered into Q103.3’s iHeart Radio contest and are eager to play at the upcoming County Fair. Every member expressed enthusiasm at even the notion of playing on stage and have all found a passion that drives them. But it’s not all fun for the band. They are very organized and even though the members have pressing obligations in their own lives, they must show up for practice and keep pushing themselves to realize their dreams. Which is where the band mentality comes in handy. When one member falls behind the rest will work to bring him back up with them; because their music depends upon, and reveals, their teamwork. But even though they must work together at every step, each member is still able to retain their individuality and often come to events with differing expectations. Brandon “Sparky” Sparks was very apprehensive about playing on stage and said that he “was not knowing what to expect, when you see all the people. But there was a positive feedback.” Josh Griffin remembered their first time playing at the Shamrock Irish Pub as one gig that stood out to him. The “reaction from the crowd [was] more than I could have hoped for. We’ve been building off that ever since.” But the Shamrock was not the only catalyst for the band. Banyon Bachman said that at their gig at Chain Reaction, he could “feel the music.” John Skinner remembered the Chain Reaction as well, but it was the proving wrong and

rising above those that assured them that they’d fail that meant the most to him. It was keeping focused and fueling the band with his own inspiration that kept him working hard every time they meet up to see how far they can go. Alex Tostado said that their very first gig, at the private party, was the most memorable for him. That “first party had a classic rock band and everyone in their was a die hard rock fan. Rock was king. But once we started playing we had a great reception. And we were playing songs by Adele!” What speaks to me most about this band is how they mirror their values in every step (or note) of their music. First, the baseline is set up, typically by Skinner. Then the rest of the band will sit together and listen to the music, feeling it out before testing their own sound. When all of them have mixed together and they have reached that impetus of new music, they write out the music, then determine a name. Each member must determine how he hears the music and then how he can best express himself through it. And they all support each other. No song is complete without total cooperation and no member would want to be left out of that incredible creative process. In the case of the song Mr. Smith on their album “Here to Stay,” it was dedicated to their new band instructor and displays all of the excitement and uncertainty that they felt at the time with facing the changes of life and not knowing if it will work out well for you. It pairs with the song “Song for Neal” which is the farewell to their old instructor, and also a farewell to a great inspiration in their lives. Redemption Brass is truly the manifestation of five young men’s ambitions. They eagerly set up a Facebook page and can be reached very quickly there and will post all of their future gigs on that page under Redemption Brass Band at Facebook. They also have a YouTube channel, titled Redemption Brass. Check them out and you’ll hear the singular talents wonderfully molded together into the pulse of a common dream.

Liberty Kitchen and the Pioneering Bartender by Steve Steinberg

Josh has been in the restaurant business consistently since he was fifteen years old. He started as a busser and dish washer. Photo by Steve Steinberg.

In the understatement of the year, bartender Josh Krueger says, “I just pour drinks.” One look at Liberty Kitchen’s bar menu and it is quickly evident that there is more going on here. Open for less than a year, Liberty Kitchen has not only brought Southern comfort food to Old Town Temecula, they have brought a new brand of music to it’s new stage, a comfortable family atmosphere and, oh yeah, a new bartender. What makes Josh different from most bartenders? He has fresh new drink recipes that use local ingredients whenever possible. Local organic lemons and olives from the Temecula Olive Oil company. His garnishes range from the traditional (citrus wheels and wedges) to the unexpected (candied jalapeños and candied & peppered bacon). He also knows how to make the classics. Order a Manhattan and not only does he have a fine selection of bourbon and rye whiskey, but he automatically uses a full flavored Italian vermouth that would be a premium at any other bar. “It’s a small thing that really makes the drink stand out, and it is a better drinking experience for the customer.” Josh has been in the restaurant business consistently since he was fifteen years old. He started as a busser and dish washer. He then was a bar back (a bartender’s assistant who stocks the with alcohol, glassware, garnishes, ice, or whatever the bartender needs to keep making drinks) for many years. Josh then moved from Texas to San Francisco to goo to art school. In 2005 he got his first job bartending in San Francisco, having never been to bartending school or other formal training. Besides being a bar back for many years, he also attends lectures, watches you tube videos and reading books on bartending to get ideas for his drink recipes.

Walk by on a Friday or Saturday night and when you hear the music you will know it is different. Order up the shrimp and grits if you are hungry, or the beignets if you want dessert, and you will know it’s different. Go to the bar and Josh will just pour you the best drink you have had in a while and you will know it is different. Different in a great way.

A Fresh Approach to MUSIC LESSONS

Guitar • Piano • Vocal • Drums Bass • Uke • Banjo • Violin

Last year Josh moved from San Francisco to Murrieta due to the lower cost of living and to be closer to family. Initially he worked in the San Diego area until he found Liberty Kitchen. He knew it was different right away. “It was homey, Southern, and family oriented,” he says, “everyone knows everyone.” He was also drawn by Liberty Kitchen’s vision of “pioneering” food and cocktails. “The owners, Christina and David (Conway) are awesome. They want to bring food and drinks to Temecula that are new and different.” This allowed for Josh’s creativity to run wild creating fresh drinks inspired by the food that was being served. In May of this year Liberty Kitchen took their pioneering spirit for food and drink and transferred it to “pioneering” music. Borrowing on their experiences and contacts in the Los Angeles area restaurant and music scene, they are seeking to bring in not only new talent to town, they are bringing a specific musical style to town. Call it Americana, roots music, country rock, or progressive bluegrass. It does not matter. For the opening of the new music stage Liberty Kitchen featured Willie Watson formerly of Old Crow Medicine Show. His powerful voice and acoustic guitar mastery filled the restaurant with Americana music and blues-worthy lyrics. It was a great opening night for those who attended the standing room only show. Josh says the music has been a great addition. “It is bringing in more people and exposing them to Liberty and they come back.” One downside of the music for Josh is that while he appreciates guitar oriented music, he prefers electronic music. His preference in drinks? Rye whiskey and Cynar (an artichoke based liqueur from Italy) with a twist of lemon. He says the most popular drink on the menu is the Peach Smash (a blend of peach infused bourbon and house-made lemonade). And on nights when there is live music the biggest seller is Shiner Bock (an American-style dark lager brewed in Texas).

BAILY’S OLD TOWN It’s a fact that Old Town has become one of the premiere spots for dining and entertainment in the Inland Valley. Just by walking down the strip on a summer night you’ll find no shortage of bars to frequent, shops to peruse, and street performances ranging from singers to artists to western cowboy shooters. Old Town is easily known for its selection of excellent restaurants, and perhaps one of the most well-known ones resides in a building that would appear at first glance to belong in a Cajun-Victorian style township. While many often assume that the structure must be a remnant of Old Town from the time of cowboys and stagecoaches, “Baily’s” is actually quite new; built in 2004, the restaurant and performance venue has often caught eyes with its unique look and open-air seating area. “I wanted customers to feel like I was inviting them into my home, for them to feel comfortable,” said Kim Baily – co-owner and wife of Chris Baily – as I sat with her and her son Nolan Baily on the first floor. “I may turn this into my own home,” joked Nolan, when talking about how warm the restaurant makes people feel. And “Baily’s” does indeed feel welcoming. With two indoor seating areas varying between a more casual dining experience below and “dresses and ties” atmosphere above, a balcony, and the aforementioned outdoor area where passersby can

view the entertainment for the night, the restaurant does its best to beckon people in and truly give them an experience tailored to whatever mood they want as they eat. Or drink. Or dance! The “Baily’s” many of us know and love may have started in Old Town back in 2002 with the beginnings of construction, but the restaurant’s roots date back as far as 1992. Bolstered by the success of “Baily Vineyard & Winery” when it opened in 1986, Phil and Carol Baily, and their two sons Christopher and Patrick, established “Baily Wine Country Café” in the Temecula Town Center. Eventually, ownership of the restaurant moved to Chris and his wife Kim. A reputation for fine food and high-quality service garnered many patrons and returning customers, which would prove to be the key to opening in Old Town in later years. Back in 1999, Temecula experienced a time of impressive infrastructural growth and an influx of new eateries. Old Town Temecula had just been redeveloped and needed “solid anchors” for visitors. Wanting to own the property instead of renting, Chris and Kim went to the banks for a loan. “The bank said ‘we’ll give you the loan but you need to raise $1,000,000 capital,’ and we said ‘oh my goodness!’…I had little kids! Driving three kids to three different

schools at three different times and… we have to do this and get an LLC,” Kim recounted. Even with loans, a million dollars is a monumental task, especially for a family. And this is where the Baily community came together to make a dream a reality: customers stepped forward to become investors in the new location. “We talked to customers at the existing restaurant and said ‘we’d like to raise this money to do this incredible project’…so we had these customers and friends, who believed in us, and they invested.” To this day, the Baily family continues to have their longtime customers visit their location in Old Town, and Nolan said that there are “yearly investor meetings” to bring everyone back together again. “Baily’s” is so highly regarded now that both locals and out-of-town patrons come to eat or enjoy the entertainment, and bands from all over constantly vie for an opportunity to play at the location. It’s as much over the quality of the venue as it is the publicity; anyone who visits Old Town during “Hot Summer Nights” (Old Town’s signature summer series of events and attractions) or the New Year’s Eve block party can attest to how lively things can get. More often than not, seeing all the excitement from the street makes folk want to get in on the action. The building was made with entertainment in mind, with multiple stage lights, cables and

spots for soundboards to be plugged into, and the parking lot has a private space for off-loading band equipment without having to fight others for parking spots. The back part of the restaurant gate can even swing open so the entire truck can pull right in to the stage area, making set-up a breeze. A large bulk of Kim’s workload consists of receiving hundreds of emails each day about different performers or bands that wish to play there. The screening process is rigorous, and Kim insists on listening to the group to see if it is a match for the restaurant. Some of the bands we’ve covered previously in Echo & Buzz have played there, including The Cougrzz. On top of that, when the lights dim and the DJ shows up at night, “Baily’s” transforms into a full-on nightclub, with multiple bar counters ready to start the party off right. And there’s even a Latin salsa night! As Temecula continues to evolve as the population becomes larger and more varied, it’s a safe bet that “Baily’s” will be one of the most renowned restaurants for people to frequent, both for food and music.

THE MOMENT with George Galvez by Steve Steinberg

In high school he had moderate success in bands playing the Los Angeles rock club scene. Photo by John Crumbacher.

How to Avoid Lounge Singer Purgatory “I play every show like it is my last night on earth,” says George Galvez, explaining why he thinks he has been a local favorite for over eleven years. You might know him as “The Voice of the Valley,” but more likely you know him as Little George and have seen him playing all around town. And more than likely, if you run into the Little George Band playing at a local venue, his voice and his band will draw you in and soon you will be rocking out. Galvez has that affect on people because of his “last night on earth” mantra. He sings as if there is no tomorrow and his band is always ready to go down with him.

Black Sabbath (with Ronnie James Dio on vocals for the first time), Molly Hatchet, the Babys, Cheap Trick and Journey. The influence of this show is evident by Galvez’s enthusiasm as he remembers the vocals of Steve Perry (Journey) and Robin Zander (Cheap Trick), and by the fact that Galvez fronts a Dio cover band called Dio Nation. Galvez adds to his influences names like Bono and Freddy Mercury. “Then there is Carly Simon. I love her. And Annie Lennox. I would love to do a duet with her. Siouxie Sioux, Melissa Estheridge. I just love powerhouse singers.”

Galvez says he was born an entertainer, citing his father’s obsession with “The King” as the catalyst for his performing tendencies. “I grew up in a house full of Elvis,” he recalls of his early years in Fullerton. The first of four children, Galvez remembers performing in talent shows as early as age five, “I was in every talent show and performing came really easy for me.” It was not long before singing was not enough and the guitar came into his life. “I started playing at age 12, but I soon switched to bass because my friend was better at guitar than me,” Galvez explains. This change brought new opportunities. “Once I started playing bass I found that everyone wanted to play with me because it is hard to find a bass player.”

In high school he had moderate success in bands playing the Los Angeles rock club scene. After this he met and married his wife and they had two boys. As he puts it, “(starting a family) puts everything on hold for awhile.” Galvez went to work to support his family. He worked for a music distribution company that supplied records to retailers. This led him to Mexico where he set up the company’s operations there, “what was supposed to be a three month job turned into four years!” His family eventually joined him there.

With his new found musical popularity Galvez and his friends formed a band called “Octave” while in Junior High School. His first taste of what it would be like to be a rock and roll singer was when the band performed in front of the entire school in an outdoor amphitheater on campus. “It had a concert feel. The atmosphere of the roar of the crowd back at me was amazing,” remembers Galvez. “We were terrible. We did songs like Running with the Devil (Van Halen), Lights Out (UFO), Cat Scratch Fever (Ted Nugent, but just the roar and adulation all hit me.” From that point on he was hooked. The “Voice of the Valley” has had no formal vocal training or coaching. “All through high school I was in choir,” he says. Singing is natural to him and he has always been the singer in his bands. He recalls “sing offs” with others wanting to be the lead vocalist in his bands. He always won. “A doctor once told me I have an audiographic memory and the tones and sounds I hear are embedded in my brain,” says Galvez. This has led him to be able to sing like the artists he admires.

They returned to the States and settled in the Temecula Valley in 1999. Galvez continued to work in sales and marketing. In 2000, one of his colleagues said to him, “‘I got a feeling you would be much happier in some bar playing your guitar and singing your songs’. I couldn’t even fathom that I could make a living doing this. Nor did I know how to do it.” But he knew his colleague was right and so he started looking for opportunities. “I had been doing karaoke to keep my voice up and I won a lot of contests, but I was ready to go back to playing in bands.” In 2004, Galvez met bass player Tony Cavazzo, who had success in the 1980s with his band, Hurricane, and had a stint in Quiet Riot. “I wanted to be a guitarist again. I have never been a great lead player but I have always been a good rhythm player. So when Tony came on board I got that chance.” Galvez continues, “Tony has been to the top of the mountain and back, and he became a mentor to me. He helped me apply my marketing and sales background to help out the band. He’s always pushing me to work on my chords because, I will tell you this, I cheat on my chords.” Further, Galvez credits Cavazo for the band’s longevity, “He’s been with me from the beginning, and he guides me in how this works to be successful and be around for over eleven years.”

Galvez is equally praiseful of the other musicians he has worked with in the Valley. “I’ve always been amazed at the skills of all the musicians I have played with. I have been fortunate.” He is especially complimentary of his current line up including Cavazo, Aaron Marsolino, Mike Rizzuto, and Chris Boehme. Galvez learned a long time ago that it works best for him if he is in charge. “Playing in a band, booking shows, keeping the band together, and networking are all different things. When you are the leader of a band you do everything. I wear lots of different hats. It really helped me to develop the people skills and learn how to read people and what they need or want.” The importance of learning what people want was a skill he knew he needed to develop even in his first show in the area. “Our first local gig was at the Sports Stop in Canyon Lake,” he recalls. “What was amazing to me was to see young women in their twenties requesting Brown Eyed Girl and The Joker because their parents listened to these songs. Those songs are iconic. I learned that it is not about us, it is about them. You gotta play what they want to hear. You may not want to play Brown Eyed Girl but if that’s what they want then let’s make it our own and rock it out a little. I want us to have ‘umph’ because I see so many bands out there that are bored like they are in lounge singer purgatory.” Today, Galvez is clear on his purpose and grateful for where his musical journey has led him. “It is my job to remind us of the days when life was fun,” he says, “I want to remind us of a time when you could ride in the back of a pickup truck. That Southern California rock feel is what I grew up with and what I embraced, and what I want to remind us of.” Galvez knows that few get this opportunity. “I am very grateful I get to do this. I play 4-5 gigs a week sometimes less, sometimes more. I am making a living. I am blessed with the players around me to be able to do what I do. There’s nothing else in the world I would rather do and I will do it until the day I die. Based on his performances, it is a safe bet that he will not end up in lounge singer purgatory.

PONOPALOOZA by Jeff Miller

Ponopalooza is a gathering of musicians that come together annually the Saturday before Father’s Day to play music and connect from all over Southern California. It all started back in 2009 with an idea by Brent Walsh, drummer and founding member of Fermented Youth. Brent had a deep passion for music and wanted to bring people together in a back yard setting with no egos. The idea was simple; everyone can bring their families, share food and enjoy everyone’s company, and of course…play some Rock and Roll. Brent Walsh passed away from Melanoma cancer in January of 2012 and Ponopalooza has continued by his request and in his honor. Hosted by Fermented Youth the annual event is held at drummer Pono Barretto’s house in Orange County hence the name Ponopalooza. Each year the event has grown and some of the best musicians in SoCal come from San Diego, Temecula/Murrieta, L.A., High Desert, Inland Empire and Orange County to be a part of it. Song lists are created a few months in advance from suggestions and musicians sign up to play their parts. Many pick songs that are not your typical selections and challenging each player to do something different and keep it fresh. The jam is no rehearsals and come ready to play, and with over 75 people in attendance and half of them musicians, music lovers get about 5 hours of rare entertainment. The event has gained a wide popularity and always features a young upcoming band. This year Gearheart rocked the event by playing some covers including Strutter by Kiss and songs from their 2nd album Dreamin’.

This year we even brought in a mobile recording studio to capture the jam live and preserve the experience. The cool thing about Ponopalooza is the way it has evolved and grown by musicians meeting other musicians and being able to spend time talking and sharing stories. The setting provides an opportunity that is not often found due to gig schedules and performance environment typically surrounding most musicians. Ponopalooza 2016 was a huge success and we look forward to continuing the tradition in Brent’s honor and passing on to the next generation keeping Rock and Roll alive and kicking.

Kathy Crabbe Exhibit Press Release: Kathy Crabbe Exhibits Art at Riverside Art Museum Kathy Crabbe is exhibiting 52 original paintings and stories from her Lefty Oracle Deck at Riverside Art Museum, 3425 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside, California from August 4 – 7, 2016 opening Thursday, August 4, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m., during Arts Walk. I went on a 52-week artistic journey, with 147 other people, this past year. It was a program through the Riverside Art Museum called “The 52 Project” and it was designed to help us be more creative through setting goals, discovering our story, capturing ideas in a journal and learning about the “business” of art. This summer we will be sharing the results of this amazing experience with 33 mini 4-day exhibits and a Group Show. I spent my 52 week creative exploration painting and writing daily. I realized that my Lefty Series had to be the focus of this exhibit. The Leftys are drawn with my non-dominant left hand, and they really changed me. They helped me slow down and trust myself as I learned how to listen for the lines to lead me. I start by drawing the head, and from there a character is born often with a totally made up name. I created a Lefty Oracle deck and started giving intuitive soul readings which have touched many lives. Planning this exhibit has pushed me to finish telling each of the Leftys’ stories and to self-publish a 52-card Lefty Oracle deck along with a guidebook of journal prompts, affirmations and games that I will share during my exhibit. I grew up in Canada and moved to Temecula in 2000. I have been a professional artist since 1992. My art has been exhibited at the San Diego Women’s History Museum, Orange County Museum of Art and Sawdust Art Festival. I have been published by We’Moon Datebook and have mentored and taught at Mt. San Jacinto College, Inspire San Diego Studio, Wise Woman University and HGTV. I am a founding member of the Temecula Artist’s Circle, Temecula Writer’s Cafe and Riverside Art Museum Printmaker’s Network.
