NEWS Pureval Needs Warren County to Win. How’s He Doing?

The fresh-faced Democrat will need to win over more than one third of deep-red Warren County to unseat U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot. Here’s how he’s trying to do it.

eather Rose looks like a typical Mason mom, but she talks like a soothsayer.

“No one’s coming to save us,” says Rose, talking about President Trump and the current political climate. “We have to save ourselves. One day my grandkids are going to look back on this and say, what did you do?”

So, for the first time in her life, Rose is a political campaign volunteer — knocking on doors and phone banking for Aftab Pureval, the rising 36-year-old Democratic Party hopeful battling Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot for Ohio’s 1st Congressional District.

Pureval is betting on voters like Rose this November.

Pureval has been Hamilton County Clerk of Courts since a surprise win against longtime Republican clerk Tracy Winkler in 2016. Now, he’s trying to amplify that upset by unseating Chabot in a district that spans all of Warren County and the western swath of Hamilton County.

Though Chabot has held the seat for more than two decades — minus one losing bid in 2008, when the blue wave around President Barack Obama swept Democrat Steve Driehaus into office — prognosticators see it as vulnerable and also crucial to the Democrats’ bid to regain control of the House.

Winning this election will be difficult.

Local politicos have pegged the race’s

outcome on the turnout in Warren County, which has elected Chabot by 20-point margins in the last three elections. But it is this same bastion of conservatism where Democrats have seen a surge in enthusiasm — enough to trouble local Republicans and turn the race into a toss-up.

“We’re turning out the Democrats in record numbers,” says Bethe Goldenfield, the longtime chair of the Warren County Democratic Party. “I have not seen this kind of energy since 2008, and at the local level I didn’t even see this much energy for (President) Obama.”

Much of this energy stems from, as Pureval calls them, “pissed-off Mason moms” — women like Heather Rose.

Trump’s win in 2016 left her and many other women very dismayed, so they all got together to commiserate. Kvetching turned into brainstorming which turned into political organizing.

“We had no idea what we were doing,” Rose says, whose involvement mostly started at her daughter’s urging. “In one

of our early meetings, we brought in somebody from the Ohio Democratic Party and were like, alright, tell us what to do.

We were really disorganized.”

Goldenfield and other longtime Democrats in Warren County helped prop up this and other grassroots groups that have sprung up in the wake of the last presidential election.

“If there’s anything good that’s come out of 2016, it’s that there are a lot of folks that feel the same way,” Rose says. “Maybe there were a lot of us that were just going along and not causing waves, but at a certain point you can’t just keep quiet and let things go.”

Liberal enthusiasm can only do so much in Warren County, which hasn’t elected a Democrat for four decades. The region is a hotbed of conservatism that loved the Tea Party — almost 66 percent of voters there checked the box for Trump in 2016.

“If you support the issues that are conservative in ideology, then people support you,” says Warren County GOP Chair Jeff Monroe. “It works very simply

here: if you are pro small or limited government and if you are pro-life and if you are pro-gun, Warren County will vote for you.”

Warren County resident Rusty Holman agrees, pointing to tax levies in particular.

“Pick the wildest thing you could ever think of, that people would normally vote for, and you’re going to have a solid block of people in Warren County saying, ‘Not one single dollar of additional taxes will I pay,’ ” says Holman, a self-described fiscal hawk.

This overwhelmingly conservative reality is starting to change, however, as more and more immigrants settle in the southern part of the county. It is already home to one of the region’s largest Muslim communities, and students of color comprise nearly 40 percent of the Mason school district.

The school has been rocked by several racist incidents in the past few years. Even the school board race got ugly. When Noha Eyada, a former physician and Muslim immigrant, ran for an open seat, people threatened her, questioned her citizenship

and derided her on a WLW talk show.

She lost but plans to run again.

“Kids need to find somebody who looks like them, who represents them, who speaks on their behalf, based on their experiences,” she says.

Similar reasons have motivated Eyada to volunteer for Pureval’s campaign.

“There are a lot of immigrants in Warren County, so when people find somebody who is the child of immigrants and came this far, they will support him,” she says.

“That’s not the one and only reason, but I mean, my kids look up to him as their ideal.

It gives you hope.”

For Faiz Sherman, a longtime Procter & Gamble engineer who immigrated from Kenya decades ago, his support of Pureval has less to do with the Democrat being the son of immigrants and more to do with how he has engaged Sherman’s community.

“If you’re reaching out to me and my communities and worried about my issues, I’m going to care about you more,” he says. “(Chabot) didn’t even send a representative; I don’t think he has engaged the Muslim community.”

Chabot’s campaign did not return calls or emails from CityBeat requesting comment for this story.

Immigrants alone will not win Pureval the election. If he wants to win 35 percent of the vote in Warren County — a margin the campaign believes should be enough to win overall — Pureval will have to court conservatives. There are whispers of a “Republicans for Aftab” group forming, but most Republicans voting for Pureval already switched sides in the 2016 election.

For David Niven, a political science professor at the University of Cincinnati, this tracks: the midterms are typically a referendum on the president.

“Trump is the reason why there is a race, the reason why the Dems could field a top-level candidate is because of Trump,” Niven says. “Voters could very well say they aren’t making their decision based off Trump but the fact that they have a decision to make is because of Trump.”

Warren County resident and former Republican Konrad Kircher thinks antiTrump backlash explains only part of the equation.

“There’s a lot about Aftab himself that’s been responsible for a lot of the enthusiasm,” says Kircher, now vice chair for the Warren County Democrats. “Aftab has been everywhere, he’ll go from person to person and make sure that everybody feels like he is listening to them.”

Some Republicans say Chabot hasn’t matched Pureval’s energy in the contest.

“Unfortunately not,” says Ray Warrick, the former chair of the county GOP. “I think some of the officials in the Warren County Republican Party are a little frustrated with Chabot’s efforts.”

Warren County voters already know Chabot — he has represented them since 2013, when his district was redrawn to include the staunchly-Republican county — so his incumbency means he does not have to canvass as hard as Pureval. Still, the Democrat’s campaign is impressing some Republicans.

“He’s been up here a lot, there’s more signage, they’re enthused,” Warrick says.

“Historic numbers would say the numbers just aren’t there for (Pureval) but if there’s a lack of turnout of those grassroots folks, I think that’s what makes this race a toss-up.”

Currently, die-hard conservatives don’t seem to be mobilizing.

“I don’t think Steve Chabot is the kind of guy who gets people fired up,” Niven says. “He is that kind of stock character, this longtime politician who survived in a district that was drawn to keep him safe.

He’s in effect punching the clock in this politics game, and that’s well and good except in a bad political year.”

Alternatively, Warren County GOP Chair Monroe is not worried about Chabot’s chances.

“It’s an easy campaign to run in my mind,” Monroe says. “Stand on who you are; you don’t have to pretend you’re different, just state those values and Warren County is on your side. The Congressman has been serving in the Congress. He simply needs to state what he’s been doing.”

According to Niven, “Ultimately this is a question of how big is the (Democratic Party’s) enthusiasm advantage. If it’s sizable, the 1st District gets a new congressman. If it’s minimal, Steve Chabot gets another two years.”

For Warren County resident Holman, a vote for Chabot is a vote to continue the Republican majority.

“To my way of thinking, probably the best thing (Chabot) can do is support the Trump agenda and vicariously do that,” he says. “Trump carried Warren County, he is quite popular.”

Meanwhile, Rose sees Pureval as the best hope for the district.

“It doesn’t matter what side you’re on, you have to demand more out of your elected leaders,” she says. “You have to. But if Aftab can’t do it, nobody can do it.”

he 2018 FotoFocus Biennial theme of “Open Archive” speaks to the desire to organize and make sense of a growing visual catalog, but artistic director Kevin Moore appreciates some fluidity, too.

“In photography, I always like subjects that are a little bit messy,” he says. “I like a subject that kind of wants to fall apart and won’t behave as a proper art history subject.”

In choosing this year’s theme, he wasn’t concentrating on photographs stashed in boxes, but the free-use images that we access every day on the internet and keep on our smartphones.

“We’ve all become archivists,” he says.

A prompt like “open archive” conveniently opens up infinite questions. Who decides what is worth documenting and preserving? How do artists draw upon the past? Are the memories that we hold in our hearts truer than the pictures we hold in our hands? Can we trust everything we see, particularly in the digital age?

With more than 90 exhibits and events across Greater Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, the fourth FotoFocus Biennial explores photography’s historical and contemporary archives from multiple angles. Though some shows opened weeks ago, programming this weekend officially kicks off a packed month, and some exhibits continue into 2019. The lineup’s biggest names include fi lmmaker/artist/writer Miranda July, late photographers Berenice Abbott and Eugène Atget, and British artist and Turner Prize winner Gillian Wearing, who speaks at the Cincinnati Art Museum Wednesday, Oct. 3.

This is Moore’s third FotoFocus. The New York-based art historian and curator says he appreciates that the biennial’s democratic structure gives organizers freedom to create programming that will attract diverse audiences.

Guest curator C. Jacqueline Wood of the Mini Microcinema is hosting a month of screenings tied to the archive theme.

Some are dedicated to the influence of fi lmmaker July’s Joanie 4 Jackie project, a video chain letter of work by women fi lmmakers from 1995 to 2003. There’s also a series of fi lms that use found footage as a visual source. Another presentation highlights the relationship between still photos and moving images. Other fi lms archive the stories of makers. In Through the Lens of Time, for example, local photographer Ann Segal turns the camera on herself.

At the Contemporary Arts Center, all floors are devoted to FotoFocus for the fi rst time. No Two Alike: Karl Blossfeldt, Francis Bruguière and Thomas Ruff opened Sept. 21 and juxtaposes modernist photographs from the 1920s with abstractions by the contemporary artist Ruff. Moore says the show, arranged by guest curator Ulrike Meyer Stump of Zurich, Switzerland will appeal to those who are studious about photography.

Two more shows open at the center Friday. CAC curator Steven Matijcio has brought in Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari, who collects and protects images from the Arab world and makes new art from them in The Fold — Space, time and the image. Moore, meanwhile, introduces a painter into the lensbased biennial with Memory Banks by Mamma Andersson, a Swedish artist who uses books and photographs as inspiration and subject matter.

And for the rest of October the CAC’s lower level will remain covered with photographs from Raquel André’s A Collection of Lovers. André, a Portuguese-born artist who performed early last month in the CAC’s Black Box series, uses a camera to document one-on-one meetings with strangers (a total of

167 as of August). But in an email she says she also considers her body to be “an archive of experiments bigger and more complex than what my memory can keep.”

That description also could apply to the near-impossibility of seeing everything FotoFocus is offering in more than 80 locations. Besides museums and galleries, installations are also in places like downtown storefronts, libraries, Ruth’s Parkside Café, Washington Park and the Academy of World Languages’ REFUGE/Health Hub in Evanston, where ArtWorks apprentices created an archive about the center’s multicultural families and neighborhood residents.

“We get to do two things at opposite ends of the spectrum,” Moore says. “One is to do really high-quality photography shows that could be shown in New York or San Francisco or anywhere — they’re of that level. And then we get to encourage things like schoolchildren going out in the community and doing photography. I like that it can be that high and that low at the same time. For me, photography is the breadth of all those things. It’s not an either/or thing.”

He chuckles during a phone interview over the ambiguity within the exhibit he has curated at the Taft Museum of Art; Paris to New York: Photographs by Eugène Atget and Berenice Abbott opens to the public Saturday. Were these two, who each became known for taking pictures of a city’s architecture during a period of transformation, art photographers or something else?

The Ohio-born Abbott was just starting out in the mid-1920s when she met the aged Atget in Paris while working as an assistant to Man Ray. Atget’s dreamy images of the old city’s streets, buildings and window mannequins were popular

“ S E V E N T H AV E N U E L O O K I N G S O U T H F R O M 3 5 T H S T R E E T ” | P H O T O : B E R E N I C E A B B O T T, C O U R T E S Y O F M U S E U M O F T H E C I T Y O F N E W Y O R K . G I F T O F T H E M E T R O P O L I TA N M U S E U M O F A R T

with painters, particularly surrealists, but he did not achieve wide recognition before his death in 1927. It was Abbott who brought attention to his work after she purchased his archive and returned to New York, where she printed his negatives and began photographing the city’s streets in his mode before turning her camera up at skyscrapers and establishing her own style.

Moore calls Abbott, who died in 1991, a heroine in “a very interesting human story” about two people recognizing the importance of systematically creating a record of a place and its people.

“It’s OK to think of them as art photographers, and also as something else, as historians — as architectural historians, urban historians or social historians.

They could be all of those things at once,” Moore says. “It’s OK to think of them that way — it’s also more correct to think of them that way. Photography was a tool, they happened to be very good at it, and I’m glad they’re recognized for being art photographers. But I think both of them always felt a little bit uncomfortable with that terminology.”

We see current examples of social scientists and urban historians with cameras in FotoFocus shows like Michael Wilson’s They Knew Not My Name, and I Knew Not Their Faces, at the Main Library. The local photographer known for album covers of Lyle Lovett, Jason Isbell and others set up a portable studio on city sidewalks and humbly asked strangers for the gift of sitting for a portrait.

Before Friday’s official opening of Life: Gillian Wearing, which includes four world-premiere works, the artist agreed to answer CityBeat’s questions via email. The exchange has been edited for space and clarity.

12

CITYBEAT: The video work you’ll be debuting, “Wearing,

Gillian,” employs artificial intelligence software. Where do you see fine art going with AI technology?

GILLIAN WEARING: It is interesting and strange and

connects to my work with masks of other people. I think any technology where you can explore the notion of identity is going to be fascinating, and can be used as a tool for empathy, understanding, etc. The flipside is that technologies can be used recklessly and inappropriately, and we won’t be able to avoid it being in all our lives for better or worse. My work isn’t about the tech aspects, but how I can explore ideas of who we are and use this as a really interesting tool.

CB: Have you found that women more often are wear-

think of me in that equation of what they did or didn’t do for me, and realize their own vulnerabilities, hopes and what were their needs from their parents. It gets complicated, as it should be.

GW: Women have been more historically associated with masks through makeup, clothes, etc. But essentially everyone presents different faces in different circumstances. I think social media has made people realize the power of editing their own lives, but when you look at a lot of this en masse, you can see a lot of similar shapes in people’s online narratives. It becomes like a social mask, it hides some of the harsh realities of life. If we see something that works, we copy it. I would say reality TV is different, as it tries to expose some of those things people try to hide about themselves, and the popularity of watching this is that we do seek truth in others but want to show a better side of ourselves to the world. We have many selves. It’s trying to accept these complex opposites in us which is the hardest part of life.

CB: Which do you trust as a more accurate archive: personal memories or photos?

ing a daily mask they’d like to shed? Is contemporary media, including reality television, affecting how all of us — women and men — present ourselves?

CB: What did you learn when “inhabiting” archival images of your relatives?

GW: It was seeing them as individuals not there for my needs. It’s hard to separate yourself from that. So becoming them before I was born, I was able to not

GW: All memory is selective and biased to how we are feeling, our emotions, our relationship to the object or person we are recalling. Photographs help anchor a certain moment in time, but it is fleeting. I cannot remember moments that happen before or after a photograph is taken, but I can get a sense of location, of what the environment I lived in was like. Without a photograph, people I have met in the past can disappear from my memory.

Life: Gillian Wearing is open for a preview 5-9 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Cincinnati Art Museum (953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams) featuring a conversation with the artist at 7 p.m. Reservations required; $10, free members, students and holders of $25 FotoFocus passport. Life opens to public Oct. 5 and is on view through Dec. 30.

Kids, senior citizens, people of various racial and ethnic backgrounds, a person with a disability — all are treated equally as part of the fabric of Cincinnati. The library is also hosting Panorama of Progress: 170 years of Cincinnati’s Skyline and Photographic Technology, in which contemporary photographers revisit a scene captured in 1848. At Wave Pool, the group show Social Medium is subtitled Photography as a Tool for Community Collaboration, with projects that engage the gallery’s home neighborhood of Camp Washington.

The Mini Microcinema’s Wood is one of the Wave Pool artists. She’s also embracing the independent spirit on a bigger scale at her experimental cinema and by inviting fi lmmaker July to speak Sunday at the Woodward Theater.

This is the first time FotoFocus has added guest curators. Wood says helping produce the Open Archive biennial aligns with her own art practice, “where fi lm and video and lens-based work kind of clashes between the cinema and the white cube of the art world.”

The Mini, which she started in 2015 through a People’s Liberty grant, has always been about helping others find their voice, she says. Though Wood has not yet met July, she’s felt a kinship ever since learning about her project Joanie 4 Jackie in grad school, a collection of video work by women across the U.S. “It was this wonderful distribution system for women fi lmmakers to find a voice and find a way to show their work, in a time when the internet wasn’t

influential yet in that way,” Wood says.

July turned the Joanie 4 Jackie collection of some 300 videos over to the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles in 2017. Speaking by phone from L.A. last month while editing her latest fi lm, July said creating an archive of female-made short fi lms and newsletters was on her mind from the start.

“I had a theory: Whatever is archived is remembered and therefore can be part of history,” she says. The things left out of history are marginalized.

July accepted all videos, and returned a compilation of 10 movies to senders, including their own. “The idea was that I couldn’t judge why any woman had made a movie,” she says. “I thought, ‘Well, what if a woman was making this just to save her life in that particular moment? She was very depressed and she just needed to make something.’ Wouldn’t that expression, even if it wasn’t quote/unquote ‘good,’ be valuable?”

July, whose 2005 debut feature Me and You and Everyone We Know took the Caméra d’Or at Cannes and was a winner at Sundance, considers the Joanie 4 Jackie project her fi lm school.

“I wouldn’t have been able to make that feature if I hadn’t created that context for myself,” she says.

In the world of Joanie 4 Jackie, July didn’t feel obscure or like a minority. More than 20 years after starting the archive, she wishes things would be radically different in the mainstream.

“Young people are always still looking for a way forward,” she says. “They are on their own path, and this is hopefully some clue.”

Artist Wearing is another creative who uses an archive to feel connected to other makers, though in a more transcendental way; she uses elaborate masks and costumes for self-portraits in which she inhabits the personas of artists she considers to be members of her spiritual family.

She’ll debut three such works at the Cincinnati Art Museum in Life: Gillian Wearing, which opens to the public Friday.

of her face. Wearing created the installation with the ad firm Wieden+Kennedy, and Stein calls its use of artificial intelligence technology groundbreaking.

Wearing’s art stays with the viewer, Stein says, and meanings unfold over time. “It’s like a little wedge that she drives into whatever it is you think you know about how you perceive other people and how you understand yourself,” he says.

Photography is the medium of contemporary life, Stein says, even if people don’t always respect it as an art medium because they’re overwhelmed by the images on various screens.

FotoFocus, he says, sorts through the clutter of the open archive and says, “Let’s stop, let’s think about this, because there is something important here.”

The FotoFocus Biennial 2018 begins this weekend. Passports for admission to fee-charging venues during FotoFocus are $25. More info: fotofocusbiennial.org.

“BESIDE ME (ANOTHER SUCCULENT PAINTING)” | PHOTO: JIMMY BAKER

New pictures of Wearing as Albrecht Dürer, Marcel Duchamp (and his female alter ego Rrose Sélavy) and Georgia O’Keeffe are hung with a 2014 work, “Me as an Artist in 1984.” The latter is based on a family photo from a moment when she started to consider the real possibility of an art career.

Nathaniel M. Stein, the museum’s associate curator of photography and organizer of this exhibit, considers Wearing an anthropologist in search of secrets as she explores tensions between public and private life. “She will look at herself with as much scrutiny as she does others,” he says.

Unlike the artist Cindy Sherman, who also photographs herself in various guises, Wearing is not saying, “There is no there there,” according to Stein.

“She’s more interested in what makes you tick,” he says. “How does being you work for you? How do you shape who you are in relationship to the world?”

A fourth new piece, titled “Wearing, Gillian,” is a five-minute video featuring actors speaking about identity as if they were the artist, each wearing a version “WHO IS SLEEPING ON MY PILLOW” | PHOTO: MAMMA ANDERSSON

MUSIC: Erika Wennerstrom Though she moved her critically acclaimed Rock band Heartless Bastards from Cincinnati to Austin, Texas years ago, Erika Wennerstrom has continued to bring her music projects back to the Queen City on a regular basis. That

has included tour dates in support of her fantastic debut solo album, Sweet Unknown, which was released this spring on Partisan Records and showcased a different side of the singer/songwriter’s musical personality. The solo effort is simultaneously rootsier and more expansive and textural than Wennerstrom’s work with the Bastards, reminiscent of the unique ethereality Daniel Lanois helps conjure when working with Americana-oriented artists (a Wennerstrom/Lanois collaboration would be beyond spellbinding). Sweet Unknown has received a wide array of great press since its release, including from Rolling Stone, which called it “a spacious, starlit collection that showcases her wail over sprawling Americana.” Pre- and postrelease, Wennerstrom has performed at area venues from the Woodward Theater to The Lodge to The Listing Loon, and this weekend she returns to play

the Ludlow Garage for the first time, backed by the excellent band she appeared with at the inaugural Bellwether Music Festival back in August. Cincinnati Indie Rock supergroup Static Falls (featuring members of bands like The Sweep, The Tigerlilies, Culture Queer and Ohio Knife) opens Wennerstrom’s latest homecoming gig.

COMEDY: Steve-O As a comedian, activist, TV host and stunt performer, Steve-O (aka Stephen Gilchrist Glover) wears many hats. Indeed, he once wore a jellyfish sombrero for bit on his YouTube channel that has since captured over 25 million views. “I was just such an attention whore by the time I was born,” he says, “I had little recourse other than to pursue a career in show business.” He cites spending his formative years in England as an influence. “When I was 9, I had the freedoms (there) that a 16-year-old would have here. I was cruising all over London on the Tube and the busses; even on my bike I’d go all over the city. I’m really grateful for that.” He was always a prankster as well.

“I’d unscrew salt shakers and consume all the salt. It was pretty impressive, but it didn’t make people like me any better.” 7:30 and 10 p.m. Friday; 7 and 10 p.m. Saturday. $25-$50. Funny Bone Liberty, 7518 Bales St., Liberty Township, liberty.funnybone.com.

‘The Devil We Know’ Spotlights Local Lawyer Rob Bilott waged war against one of world’s largest chemical companies — and won

huge problem in Australia,” Bilott says.

“It’s in New Zealand, in Italy, in Germany.

It’s become an international issue.”

How C8 first entered the bloodstream of millions of Americans is unknown. The chemical can make its way into clouds through smokestack emissions, but it’s likely the exposure also came from fastfood wrappers, pizza boxes, fabric treated to repel stains or water, nonstick cookware and other everyday products.

Since Bilott’s first meeting with Tennant, C8 has been linked to six diseases, including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, preeclampsia and high cholesterol. This year, DuPont settled over 3,550 C8 cases for nearly $671 million, but continued to deny any wrongdoing.

But even a legal settlement of that size doesn’t offer reassurance, as Soechtig points out in her film: DuPont, and other companies, can change the chemical formula slightly and continue producing it. A corporate spinoff of DuPont called Chemours has done just that, with a chemical known as GenX. Internationally, Bilott has been recognized for his fight. He received the 2017 Right Livelihood Award in Sweden for exposing a decades-long history of chemical pollution and setting a precedent for the effective regulation of hazardous substances.

legal discovery process, he asked DuPont for information about the chemical.

After pushback from the company, Bilott began to receive internal records that showed the company had been documenting the chemical’s health effects since the 1950s. Not only was C8 in the West Virginia landfill, it was also being released into the air from manufacturing smokestacks and had been pumped into the Ohio River.

It was in those documents that Soechtig found the name for her film: “DuPont knew about the perils of C8,” she says.

“They knew there were problems and suggested in one memo that they find a replacement. But they concluded any chemical was going to have problems, and C8 was ‘the devil we know.’ ” In March 2001, Bilott sent a 972-page letter to the United States Environmental Protection Agency that detailed the situation, which triggered them to start investigating C8. By then, the chemical had already been in use and had been emitted into the environment for 50 years.

“There was pressure on the EPA to come out with a drinking water guideline, which it did in 2016. And when that guideline came out, it spurred even more testing across the country, including by the Department of Defense,” Bilott says.

“Many sites, including military bases and airports, are contaminated.”

When his story was featured in The New York Times in January 2016, it sparked a response not just across the country, but also throughout the world. C8 is now “a

was the first time I learned that we really rely on chemical-makers to tell us whether or not a product is safe,” she says.

“There are 80,000-plus chemicals out there in our everyday products that we know very little about,” Soechtig says.

“When I started reading about what was going on in Parkersburg, I saw this Davidversus-Goliath story of a farmer and local people taking on one of the largest chemical corporations in the world.”

In The Devil We Know, Soechtig lets the people involved in the case — Bilott and the residents of Parkersburg — tell the story, weaving their narrative through legal depositions, news reports and C8 science. The rough video footage that Tennant shot is in the movie, as well as interviews with local people whose lives have been affected by DuPont for generations.

“Chemical contamination is a tricky topic to make appealing to a mass audience,” Soechtig says. “I was really excited to have that challenge. Historically, my films have been informational with character stories in them. But this film is really a characterdriven story that also has information.

The characters are so strong, and this is a universal story — and again, this is just one chemical. There are thousands we need to be aware of.”

When Bilott took Tennant’s case, few people knew what C8 was. When he found it listed in DuPont’s landfill documents, Bilott researched the chemical in environmental libraries but found nothing. He went straight to the source — through the

O C T. 3 - 9 , 2 0 18

hen Cincinnati lawyer Rob Bilott first received a call from a cattle farmer in Parkersburg, West Virginia, he almost didn’t pay attention.

The farmer, Wilbur Tennant, told him chemical company DuPont had purchased land adjacent to his property to use as a non-hazardous landfill for its local factory, but something wasn’t right: the stream the cows drank from had white foam on its surface, and hundreds of cattle were either sick or dying. It wasn’t the kind of case Bilott, a Cincinnati-based corporate attorney, usually handled.

Lawyers and reporters in Parkersburg, a town dominated by DuPont, didn’t take Tennant seriously. But in his phone conversation with Bilott, Tennant mentioned Bilott’s grandmother, who lived in a nearby West Virginia town. Bilott agreed to meet.

“He brought his videotapes and photographs to Cincinnati,” Bilott says.

“We took a look and we realized something really bad was happening.”

What first appeared as a simple case in 1998 became one of the most significant class-action lawsuits in the history of environmental law. In a legal fight that lasted nearly 20 years, Bilott represented 70,000 citizens whose drinking water had been contaminated with perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, also called C8.

This battle is the crux of Stephanie Soechtig’s latest film, The Devil We Know, which sheds a spotlight on a DuPont chemical so ubiquitous an estimated 99 percent of Americans have it in their blood.

A component of Teflon, C8 and its counterpart PFAS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) were used to make waterproof clothing, stain-resistant rugs, microwave popcorn bags and even dental floss.

Award-winning documentarian Soechtig is no stranger to controversy: her film Fed Up examined links between processed food and obesity, and her directorial debut Tapped explored the bottled water industry and the effect of BPA (Bisphenol A) on human health. “That

Tracy Silverman Brings Electric Violin to the CSO for ‘The Dharma at Big Sur’

BY A N N E A R EN S T EI N

Tracy Silverman’s nonconforming approach to his music is an integral part of his psyche. He rejected a career as a classical violinist, switched to the electric violin and stopped listening to its two biggest exemplars, Stéphane Grappelli and JeanLuc Ponty — turning to Rock and Soul giants Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Aretha Franklin for inspiration.

Silverman will make his Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra debut this weekend performing The Dharma at Big Sur, a work that he says, “never ceases to affect me.”

Although it’s his first performance here, the CSO performed Dharma 10 years ago with composer John Adams on the podium and soloist Leila Josefowicz. But Josefowicz was an acoustic violinist adapting to an electric instrument. Silverman perfected the sound on electric violin for over two decades when Dharma debuted.

When Silverman broke with his classical violin rep he figured his days as concert hall performer were over. But in 2002, Adams heard Silverman playing at an Oakland, California Jazz club. At the time, Adams was writing a concerto for the opening of Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles (designed by Frank Gehry); Silverman’s playing inspired what became Dharma, which premiered in 2003 with Silverman as the soloist, and Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

A ceaseless explorer of sonic innovation and synthesis, Silverman has brought the electric violin into virtually every genre of music; he’s also designed instruments and pioneered techniques that are standard for today’s electric violinists. His lengthy discography features him as soloist, guest artist, composer, arranger or producer.

After 35 years with the electric violin, Silverman understands why the instrument still might be a hard sell.

“I spent a lot of years in Rock bands and it’s easy for people to think this is something flashy,” he says, speaking from his home in Nashville. “But my goal is serious and maybe more boring but that’s what I’m trying to do.”

What Silverman plays is not an acoustic violin with a pickup. He designed his first violin — a six-string solid-body model resembling a mini-Fender Stratocaster in the early ’80s — while working with fellowviolinist Mark Wood, who Silverman calls “a true visionary.” (Wood Violins just celebrated its 25th anniversary.)

Every Silverman instrument is designed for the widest palette of sounds and he provides a vivid rationale in his artist statement: “My demands on the instrument range from Jimi Hendrix’s wailing distortion to Miles Davis’ intimate Jazz, Salif Keita’s emotional Malinese vocal style to Brazilian Samba grooves, Indian classical inflections and ‘just’ (or ‘pure’) intonation.”

Although this statement was written in 2017, it speaks to a commitment spanning three decades that led to Dharma and a return to the concert stage.

Silverman was part of an ensemble led by the minimalist composer Terry Riley when Adams first heard him.

“Tracy’s unique style was a marvel of expressiveness,” he wrote in the liner notes to the 2003 recording of Dharma. “When I listened to Tracy play I was reminded that in almost all cultures other than the European classical one, the real meaning of the music is in between the notes.”

Describing Dharma, Silverman gives a shout-out to Adams’ penchant for taking risks, not only musically, but also on Silverman himself.

“He could have had anyone much more famous to play it and he took a chance on me, a virtual unknown,” Silverman says.

“But he was true to his artistic vision. He wanted a California synthesis of that’s unafraid to blend all these musical elements and doesn’t care about names.”

Dharma was inspired by Adams’ first encounter with the spectacular California coastal landmark and by his friendship with West Coast composers Lou Harrison and the aforementioned Riley. Adams creates a brilliant fusion of Eastern and Western musical forms using the electric violin’s meditations and ecstatic dancing phrases.

Silverman points out that Adams also took a risk with the orchestra, originally writing the piece for ‘just’ tuning, meaning different intervals between the notes differently tuned than in the conventional manner. This proved too difficult for an entire orchestra, so adjustments were made for subsequent performances.

“Synthesizers and two harps will play in ‘just’ tuning, and as much as possible, so will I,” Silverman says. “It gives me the kind of resonance you hear in Indian music.”

The first part entitled “A New Day” begins with a low drone as the violin emerges in the style of the alap, an improvisation that introduces a melody in a raga.

“That opening arc to me is a like a Rumi poem, with incredible strength, power and simplicity,” Silverman says. “And the simplicity makes it more profound.”

The momentum picks up in the second movement, “Sri Moonshine,” with more dance-like, pulsing rhythms. The solo violin passages are like a seagull’s swoops over the ocean and, as the intensity builds, the orchestra builds to an ecstatic crescendo.

The CSO performances will be accompanied by a video created by Adam Larsen.

“His work is breathtakingly beautiful and wonderfully supports this sense of being alone with nature,” Silverman says.

Dharma remains evergreen for Silverman.

“I’ve heard it thousands of times and practiced it tens of thousands of hours and it still affects me,” he says. “The textures of the score are just thrilling” “It’s very personal,” he continues, “There’s this sense of being in touch with your deepest relationship with the universe and how connected we are.”

Silverman has several more performances of Dharma throughout the fall. He’s delighted that the work is now considered standard repertoire and he’s even happier that there are more

musicians who perform it.

“I used to be the only guy doing it and now I’m not!” he says with a laugh. “If I’ve accomplished anything, I hope it’s to open up this area to future generations.

There are so many things it can do that an acoustic violin can’t.”

Sip and Savor at OTR’s LouVino More than 60 wines by the glass and flavorful small plates await you at this Louisville-born wine bar

LouVino 1142 Main St., Overthe-Rhine, louvino. com; Hours: 5-10 p.m.

Tuesday-Thursday; 5-11 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-11 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday.

stress the grave mistake you would be making if you passed up the potato tots.

You get eight fried balls that are crunchy on the outside and the consistency of cheesy mashed potatoes on the inside.

The beef sliders were another favorite of mine. The meat itself was juicy and cooked with just enough pink left in the middle. A generous portion of green peppers, onions and bacon was placed on top of the patty, adding depth of flavor and a touch of something fresh.

The OTR location serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can expect savory classics like eggs benedict ($12.50) as well as inventive options like pancake tacos ($10.50). Classic mimosas are $2 (need I say more?), though there are spin-offs like the beermosa, a rotating craft beer, sparkling wine and orange juice; and the SBL mimosa, which has a strawberry-basil purée, lemonade and lemonade sparkling wine.

LouVino is a place where you can get in and out under $20 or ball out for an extravagant meal of tapas and libations.

And if you’re someone who enjoys that pang of happiness when you see the waiter bring out your food, you’ll love having their small plates and fun wine flights delivered again and again throughout your visit.

pages and we’ll keep the stuff that everybody loves on the classics side. And then every store does their own thing,’ ” he says.

When I visited LouVino, it was a little past dinnertime and my boyfriend and I were seated by the front overlooking the rest of the restaurant. The interior is very industrial chic with luxurious finishes: think exposed brick and velvet upholstery.

Some especially eye-catching details are a purple booth that spans the length of the back wall in a warped C-shape and the swanky gray and white tile at the foot of the bar. There are also two beautifully decorated private dining areas for 14 or 40 people.

We settled in and ordered drinks. I had the Italianate red wine flight ($15) and cheese samples, which came in dainty slivers. As someone who has barely dabbled in wine not made by Yellow Tail (I know, please shame me…), I would say I have a beginner’s palate. It was interesting to try the different beverages and see how the cheese brought out their individual notes. My boyfriend, a dedicated fan of Old Fashioneds, got LouVino’s version of the cocktail and thoroughly enjoyed it.

For food we shared the Brussels sprouts salad ($10) which came in a cilantro lime vinaigrette, the steak and hoe cakes ($14), the beef sliders ($12) and the loaded baked potato tots ($9). While they’re called small plates, you get very generous portions. Two per person would be more than enough to leave you satisfied.

savory or vibrant.

They also have cocktails, mocktails and beer.

If you’re unsure what would pair well with your meal, there are three certified sommeliers on staff to assist you. All of this works toward LouVino’s goal of making wine fun and approachable for patrons, what Chad refers jokingly to as “breaking the pretentious threshold.”

While their wine selection is impressive, their elevated comfort food deserves a spotlight of its own, too. There are two menus: classics and seasonal. The former features dishes that are permanently available while the latter is a rotating menu dictated by the chef.

At the OTR location, these are imagined by executive chef Sarah Rockwell, a Cincinnati native. They source local ingredients as much as possible, frequently visiting spots like the Covington Farmers Market and Findlay Market.

Tavis Rockwell, Sarah’s husband, is LouVino’s culinary director, and he says the classics menu features ideas he always wanted to tackle on small plates. They stayed in demand across all of the LouVino locations.

ake your taste buds on a journey from the marigold-lined pathways of Château Guiraud in France to the Alps-framed Castelfeder winery in northern Italy — all while dining at LouVino in Over-the-Rhine. The concept restaurant opened in late August on Main Street and offers 60 wines by the glass as well as small plates inspired by Southern cuisine.

After seeing an opportunity to introduce more wine into Kentucky’s saturated landscape of beer and bourbon, Chad and Lauren Coulter left their jobs as pharmacists to pursue a paint-and-sip business. Then, in 2014, they decided to move on and join the Louisville restaurant industry by opening LouVino. They have four locations today with a fifth debuting in downtown Indianapolis early next year.

The fermented-grape beverage is a focal point not just on their extensive menu, but also in the OTR location’s decor. Once you walk in, you’re surrounded on either side by floor-to-ceiling partitions made of wine crates. The hostess station is set up with a similar structure behind it. Then at the bar — bookended between bottles of liquor, wine and glassware that twinkles in backlit shelves — are four silver machines. Their task is to preserve wine (using argon) after it’s been opened, allowing patrons to try high-end libations in small portions rather than having to purchase the entire bottle.

“The average lifespan of a red wine is three days, maybe four. In these machines, (it) can last 45 to 60 days,“ says Chad. “It allows you to offer some pretty rare or expensive things without the worry of it going bad.”

You’ll see some familiar names on the wine list, too, as flights are named after Ohio and Kentucky celebrities like Carmen Electra and John Legend. They are served in three 2-ounce pours and can be paired with cheese for an additional $2.

Individual glasses are 6 ounces and range in price from $8 to $29. If, like me, you have limited experience with wine, they make it easy by organizing their selection by type — white, red, rosé etc. — and their characteristics, whether that be bold,

THE DISH

After Success as a Traveling Pop-Up, The Bagelry Opens a Permanent Storefront in OTR

BY AU S T I N G AY L E

O C T. 3 - 9 , 2 0 18

Richard Huff and Erin Davren, two Cincinnatians who met through college in Dayton, studied law and went to medical school, respectively. Shared time was at a premium when Huff, who had picked up his first law job, followed Davren to Louisville for her residency, but Saturdays were set aside for the duo to connect over bagels at that city’s Nancy’s Bagel Grounds.

A bagel or two later, Huff and Davren are now happily married and are opening their brick-and-mortar The Bagelry (formerly known as OTR Bagelry) in their hometown.

“The first batch (Richard made), I remember it being like incredibly good,” Davren says with a laugh. “When I think back on it, I’m sure they were ugly and not nearly the product that (we’ve) got now.

But, he just got better and better. I’d have him make them for friends, brunches, stuff like that, and it just continued to be a part of our weekends.”

Now Huff, with the help of his wife and other family members, is graduating from friends, brunches, farmers markets and a Findlay Market pop-up to open The Bagelry on the corner of Walnut and 14th streets in Over-the-Rhine. The Bagelry is slated to open its doors Friday, Oct. 5.

Huff hopes to combine what he calls “New York-style with Cincinnati passion” when producing his bagels and housemade schmear.

“What distinguishes our bagels from most bagels is the time,” Huff says. “One of the main things that we do is a 36- to 48-hour rise. Anybody in the bagel industry will say that’s very unique… And in bread, I won’t get into too much of the nitty gritty details, but that’s actually where bread’s flavor comes from.”

While time and yeast do most of the heavy lifting, Davren, Huff and Huff’s brother, Kyle Jones, all contributed to the company’s recipes to form a continually evolving menu of eight bagels, ranging from the classics — everything, asiago and plain — to options like chocolate chip, cinnamon raisin and blueberry.

And Huff isn’t cutting any corners when

it comes to making his cream cheese spreads. Though he doesn’t make the cheese himself, the flavors, including roasted vegetable and jalapeño, are products of high-effort processes.

“We actually take a pan of vegetables and roast them to make our roasted vegetable cream cheese,” Huff says. “And that’s by far our best-seller.”

In the beginning, while Huff and Davren were occupied with their day jobs, Huff’s brother Jones, a jewelry artist turned bagel-baking professional, picked up a job at a bagel shop where he lived in Colorado after Huff introduced the idea of The Bagelry. He intended to learn as much as he could about the bagel business, from hand-rolling the dough to running the cash register, before relocating to Cincinnati.

“I learned a ton in those four months,” he says. “I basically worked non-stop.”

Jones has since paired his The team behind The Bagelry knowledge with Huff’s to create a majority of the shop’s current PHOTO: HAILEY BOLLINGER offerings, and the relationship is far from the stereotypical “Richard is not a coffee drinker,” Davren sibling rivalry. In fact, siblings are a focus says. “I am very much, and the other two here: Davren’s sister Colleen Hert also partners are, so Richard didn’t know anycame on board to help with some of the thing when it came to like what is a good, accounting. local coffee. (Urbana Café owner Daniel “Everybody does everything right now,” Noguera) helped him with that and was Jones says. “No one does just one thing, extremely helpful with what equipment and that’s so everyone knows how to do we’d need and will train us on how to use everything from top to bottom.” the equipment.”

In addition to bagels, the shop will offer The emphasis at The Bagelry will be on breakfast and lunch sandwiches, lox and a takeout, but the experience — regardless brown-butter-chocolate-chip cookie that of how short or long it may be — is meant Huff is currently fine-tuning as he starts to to be worthwhile.

MUSIC Vinyl Solution Sticklers for the “air” of analog recording, Americana duo Gillian Welch and David Rawlings now press their own records

guitar for the Dave Rawlings Machine band in the studio and onstage. They recently finished a tour for his Poor David’s Almanack album.

But eventually, Welch felt compelled to get directly involved with the vinyl process, so she started shellacking grooves, so to speak, in Woodland Studio, their home recording base in East Nashville.

“I’m (a) low man on the totem pole, but I’m in the room and helping, making switches,” Welch says. “Typically, there are four of us in there to cut a side the way we do it with the original master tapes, because we don’t make an EQ duplicate master. We are EQ-ing on the fly, which most vinyl mastering textbooks will tell you is impossible, but we wanted to see if we could do it so as to not lose the generation of tape and so we do it.”

“I almost can’t tell you what kind of a profound effect it’s had on David and myself to finally be able to put our music on the record shelf with the records that changed our lives,” she adds. “I feel like we finally arrived and we get to at least be on the playground.”

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings perform 8 p.m. Monday (Oct. 8) at the Taft Theatre. Tickets/more info: tafttheatre.org.

component of what we do. That’s what always just makes me crazy, when I hear a great vinyl copy of say, Astral Weeks or Kind of Blue — it’s the air. You can hear the air moving around the upright bass, you can hear it between Van Morrison’s face and the microphone.”

Welch says she and Rawlings first noticed that void on digital releases when they started listening to vinyl more heavily in the mid-2000s.

“It just hit us in the face, that this detail — this vital component of records — had been erased off the digital version,” Welch says. “And not only is it a bummer and doesn’t sound as good, but as a musician, it makes me angry how they’ve broken the chain of being able to hear how the guys were doing it. Our first two records first came out new on cassette, so we used to tell people who were just nutty about analog, like, go find the cassette. Because the cassette of Hell Among the Yearlings is still the best way to listen to it — till the day we cut the vinyl.”

Sepia-toned rue, hard fate and whiskey regret flood many Welch/Rawlings songs, and their albums — from the folk-art covers to the concepts — spin their integrity in gold and mercury grooves. The duo takes gracious turns in the spotlight as well. In between Welch releases, she plays

|

Welch’s and Rawlings’ inspirations dig oak deep; their raw, aching songs of gospel grace, morphine addiction, barroom girls and nowhere men, knowing Jesus by the mark of the nails and road trips across Appalachia and America echo masters like The Louvin Brothers and Stanley Brothers, the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music, Bob Dylan and The Band — iconic, pioneer spirits, all.

The first song Welch and Rawlings ever played together, while attending Boston’s Berklee College of Music, was The Band’s mournful “Long Black Veil” from Music from Big Pink. (In his later years, The Band’s Levon Helm played occasionally with Welch and Rawlings.)

“We knew enough Bluegrass to realize we had a natural blend,” Welch says of her partnership with Rawlings. “There’s something about it — we always refer to that as the buzz, like the vocals buzz. We had that buzz — I like to think it’s gotten better over the years.”

A fierce integrity spills from Welch’s slow, measured drawl, as she asserts what she wants in recording.

“They just haven’t surpassed analog, even with as many improvements as there are in the digital realm,” she says. “If you’re an acoustic musician, it’s the best way to record. For air especially, which is a vital

ith the bracing resurgence of vinyl records this decade, more indie artists are delving into music’s retro golden age with a DIY ethos.

The digital virus hasn’t quite infected everyone.

Befitting her austere, Folk aesthetic and hardcore passion for analog, Gillian Welch is not only releasing new records these days — she is also actually pressing the vinyl grooves herself.

Welch and her partner David Rawlings released their classic debut, Revival, produced by T Bone Burnett, back in 1996. Their stripped-down, dual acoustic sound and keening voices felt like outsider music when contrasted with the mid-’90s Grunge ruling the airwaves then. Yet only four years later, Welch was taking home a Grammy award for her contributions as songwriter and executive producer for the eight-times-platinum-selling soundtrack of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, the influential Bluegrass/Roots blueprint that spiked the popularity of AltCountry and its myriad Americana variations.

Their last two releases, Soul Journey and Boots No. 1 The Official Revival Bootleg, both archival classics, were released on Welch’s and Rawlings’ own Acony Records. Boots No. 1 was inspired by Bob Dylan’s ongoing Bootleg Series, proof that Faulkner’s adage — “The past isn’t dead.

It’s not even past.” — is accurate yet again.

“They all bring about a new chapter, don’t they?” Welch says of her canon. “Hell Among the Yearlings (1998) brought along the banjo, Revelator (2001) was a whole lot of things.”

She finds her 2003 album Soul Journey to be the most revelatory, though.

“When we were remastering it for vinyl and cutting that last groove, I was really struck by its bravery,” she says of her fourth studio LP. “This might sound funny, but to me, I heard its punkness, its sort of outsiderness and its bravery. It’s amazing we weren’t concerned about making a more commercial record after the success of Revelator. It sounds, if you don’t mind my saying, like we just don’t give a damn.”

Acoustic doesn’t necessarily mean soft and Folk doesn’t have to mean tame.

West Goes South (Again)

Kanye West’s appearance on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live was baffling and controversial, even by the rapper’s own standards. Kicking things off by performing a song dressed as a water bottle (he was Perrier to guest Lil Pump’s Fuji), West returned for a rare third song to close out the show. Though unaired, footage surfaced of West awkwardly ranting at the end of the program to a largely stunnedsilent audience. Among other unclear ramblings, West said he was bullied “backstage” for wearing a MAGA hat and suggested he was running for President in 2020, presumably against the current President, who tweeted that he loved West’s statements. The next day, West took to Twitter to apologize for his erratic appearance. Just kidding — West’s Sunday posts included more MAGA-hat selfies and a call to abolish the slaveryoutlawing 13th amendment.

This is Hardcore?

Brit Pop stars Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) and Bez (Happy Mondays) recently competed on the BBC game show Bargain Hunt, in which contestants shop for antiques to re-sell at auction. The competitor who earns the highest profit is usually the victor, but for the musicthemed edition, Cocker won on multiple levels without meeting that qualification.

After refusing to wear the polo shirt/ fleece pullover outfit contestants usually sport, it was later discovered that Bez’s girlfriend was a primary bidder on his lot, so he was disqualified and the ending of the program had to be re-shot, with Cocker declared the new winner.

For many people, Chris Stapleton’s name might be a new addition to their list of favorite Country artists, but his voice and his résumé tell a different story.

Though relatively new to the spotlight, this ain’t his first rodeo.

In the early 2000’s, the Heavy Metal music scene was awash in a sea of up-and-coming bands that came to be lumped under the “Metalcore” banner. As per usual, a great deal of these bands disappeared just as quickly as they arose but a few were able to distinguish themselves in new, exciting ways and prove they had staying power, with Trivium being chief among them.

Mixing Metalcore mainstays like throatshredding vocals and double-bass driven breakdowns with a healthy dose of oldschool Thrash Metal leads and melodies, Trivium broke through in a big way with its second album, 2005’s Ascendency, and hasn’t looked back. Now on their eighth album (2017’s The Sin and the Sentence) and with almost 20 years of experience behind them, the musicians of Trivium have made a career out of expanding enough on their established sound to never make the same album twice, while also remembering what made their initial hits such monsters.

Much of the band’s success falls upon the shoulders of lead vocalist and guitarist Matt Heafy. Heafy’s vicious snarl-and-roar voice has evolved and his range (in both singing and shouting) has broadened in strength and dynamics. Pairing this with his and guitarist Corey Beaulieu’s tight, serpentine riffage gives Trivium’s output an undeniably sharp twin-axe front end.

Bassist Paolo Gregoletto and drummer Alex Bent (the latest in a long line of skinsmen) round out the picture with precise blasts of lower-register potency.

Trivium is a band that was once defined by its influences. Staples like Metalllica, Pantera and In Flames have all been listed as inspirations for the comparatively young quartet, but Trivium has put in the time, effort and creative output to one day join that list of heavyweights as motivators for the next generation of Heavy Metal prodigies.

Punk bands that follow in the footsteps of ’90s forebearers like Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday, but bring a contemporary melodic edge to the table.

The New York-based trio — guitarist/ vocalist Nick Wold, bassist Marc Nelson and drummer Jacob Lee Wick — has made a tremendous impact in a relatively short time. Just months after Dreamers’ 2014 formation, Alternative Press magazine cited them as one of their 100 Bands You Need to Know.

The group’s journey began when Wold relocated from Seattle to New York after high school to study Jazz saxophone at New York University’s Steinhardt School, along with fellow high school Jazz band pals Chris Bagamery and Andrew McGovern. The trio met New Jersey native David Leondi and formed the Grunge outfit Motive, which got regular video play on MTV’s 120 Minutes with the songs “It’s Illicit” and “What’s So Bad,” but quickly ran its course.

In 2014, Wold and Bagamery crossed paths with Nelson and formed Dreamers.

The band’s first single, “Wolves (You Got Me),” was released that July and found its way into the playlist of Sirius XM’s Alt Nation channel. Dreamers’ self-titled debut EP dropped in November and the AP/100 Bands write-up followed a month later.

Dreamers returned to the West Coast in 2015, relocating to Los Angeles and losing Bagamery in the process; he was replaced

by Jacob Lee Wick. In early 2016, the trio released its sophomore EP, You Are Here, which was quickly followed by a new single, “Sweet Disaster,” and the group’s debut full length, This Album Does Not Exist.

The bulk of the album’s songs were written by Wold prior to their move to Los Angeles. During this period, Dreamers picked up tours with Stone Temple Pilots, Arkells, Atlas Genius and Airborne Toxic Event, among others, and earned a reputation as an engaging live act.

After a long, rigorous touring cycle, Dreamers released the first two EPs in a proposed trilogy this year; the four-song Launch came out in July and the five-song Fly was released earlier this month. With that kind of turnaround, the third EP could theoretically be released before the end of the year, and some of its songs could well be included in the band’s current set list.

For a group of Dreamers, they’ve made a whole lot of reality happen in just four years. (Brian Baker)
