[ your words ] ¶ An open letter to the Alexander Vindman campaign [Editor’s note: A coalition of progressives from across Florida shared the following letter they sent to the Alex Vindman campaign, in solidarity with Angie Nixon.] We write as Democratic leaders, volunteers and grassroots activists from across Florida who are deeply troubled by the tone and conduct that have recently surrounded your campaign. Rachel Vindman’s recent social media comments mocking an unnamed Democratic opponent’s clothing and campaign fall far below the standard of respect Florida Democrats expect from anyone associated with a Democratic campaign. Personal attacks have no place in our party. Equally troubling was the response from a staffer for Alex Vindman’s campaign after the St. Johns County event to the prospect of debating State Rep. Angie Nixon saying, “If Angie Nixon wants Alex to debate, she can debate his wife.” That statement reflects a dismissive attitude toward a qualified Democratic candidate who has earned the right to present her vision directly to Florida voters. Candidates seeking to represent Florida in the United States Senate should engage one another directly and respectfully. Whether intentional or not, rhetoric that belittles a Black woman candidate, dismisses her as unworthy of direct engagement, or substitutes ridicule for substantive discussion sends the wrong message to Democratic voters. Florida Democrats deserve a primary focused on ideas, vision and solutions; not personal insults, dismissiveness or contempt toward fellow Democrats. Our party should reject elitism and the notion that a campaign’s success is measured by mocking opponents. Every candidate has the right to make their case to voters, regardless of the size of their organization or budget. Rather than attacking fellow Democrats on social media or avoiding direct engagement with opponents, we encourage the Vindman campaign to spend more time meeting voters in every corner of Florida, listening to their concerns and explaining why Alex Vindman is the best candidate to serve them in the United States Senate. This primary belongs to the people of Florida — not to campaign surrogates, political insiders or social media personalities. Let the candidates debate, answer voters’ questions and earn the trust of Floridians. And let the voters, not insults or intimidation, decide who will be the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. Florida Democrats deserve nothing less!

¶ Life jackets save lives, but only if they are worn Seven people were rescued after their vessel capsized in the Indian River Lagoon in Brevard County in June. Wearing life jackets helped the group stay afloat during 30 minutes in cold water until help arrived, serving as a powerful reminder that preparation on the water can make all the difference. Life jackets save lives. Don’t take the risk. According to USCG boating statistics, 3 out of every 4 boaters who die in a boating accident drowned and, of those deaths, 87% were not wearing a life jacket; many were skilled boaters who could swim. You wouldn’t try to put on a seatbelt during a car crash, and you can’t put on a life jacket in the middle of a boating emergency. Wearing a life jacket on the water is critical, so before you head out, make sure everyone has one that fits properly. If you need to borrow one, find a Sea Tow Foundation Life Jacket Loaner Station near you. It could save a life. — Gail R. Kulp, Executive Director of the Sea Tow Foundation

¶ Kudos to Rep. Frost Kudos to Rep. Maxwell Frost for being the only member of Florida’s congressional delegation to vote for an amendment to eliminate $3.3 billion in aid for Israel from the federal budget, even though the vote failed 104–314. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has stated that he would leave the Democratic Party if it became anti-Israel and did not support Israel’s right to defend itself. But destroying the means of sustaining human life in Gaza is not self-defense. This includes Israel’s devastation of Gaza’s fields, orchards, greenhouses, water infrastructure and homes. After the ceasefire began, Israel destroyed an additional 1,500 buildings in Gaza. Multiple United Nations agencies and humanitarian groups also report that Israel has blocked or severely restricted shelter supplies, including tarps, timber, plywood and sandbags from entering the Gaza Strip. Families are forced to live in permanent tent cities, their makeshift homes infested with rats and parasites. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said, “We are disassembling Gaza and leaving it as piles of rubble … and the world isn’t stopping us.” Being pro-Israel should not mean downplaying or denying the atrocities Israel has committed. Meaningful action, not just words, is long overdue. — Terry Hansen, Orlando

¶ Pay attention and act According to the Red Cross, there are about 130 armed conflicts occurring worldwide right now. That’s roughly double the number from 15 years ago. It feels like nowadays every time we check the news, there’s another tragedy happening. War, hunger and humanitarian crises have become part of the daily headlines. Conflicts are the leading cause of hunger worldwide, which is not only a humanitarian concern but should also be an American concern. Communities are displaced, governments become further destabilized and poverty increases quickly. These crises don’t stay confined within borders, but quickly contribute to global instability that affects us all. While the U.S. is one of the leading first-world countries, we as citizens can’t solve every conflict. But our policies still matter. More than providing minimal aid and resources after conflicts start, we can ensure that U.S. policy does not contribute to humanitarian crises and instability. A prime example is the Block the Bombs Act under consideration in the House of Representatives. This bill would strengthen military oversight of U.S. weapons transfers and help ensure that American involvement isn’t worsening civilian conditions. Rep. Maxwell Frost, who represents part of the Orlando area, co-sponsored the bill, but is the only representative from Florida to do so. It’s easy to feel disconnected from conflicts when we don’t see direct outcomes in our daily lives, but even if conflicts feel far away, U.S. decisions still greatly shape what happens in those regions. That alone means we should be paying attention and acting. — Bianca Filoni, Winter Garden

Orange County expanded its medical debt relief initiative

Orange County commissioners approved additional funding for a first-of-its-kind program in Central Florida to eliminate medical debt for local residents. Since 2024, the county has leveraged $4.5 million in federal dollars received under the American Rescue Plan Act to eliminate more than $637 million in medical debt — one of the leading causes of bankruptcy — for more than 427,000 Orange County residents. Commissioners agreed to allocate an additional $2 million for the debt relief program, bringing the county’s total allocation since 2024 to $6.5 million. The extra $2 million is expected to abolish approximately $200 million in additional medical debt, impacting as many as 100,000 Orange County residents, according to the county. The debt relief program was made possible through a partnership with Undue Medical Debt, a nonprofit organization based in New York that has partnered with more than two dozen local and state governments nationwide.

A former Orlando bar owner was sentenced to federal prison

Florida’s ‘Protection of Children Act’ was upheld by a federal appeals court

Florida Dems pressed DeSantis admin for details about AI contract for SNAP

The former owner of two Orlando nightclubs and his husband were sentenced to at least 10 years each in federal prison after pleading guilty to attempted coercion and enticement of a 15-year-old. Richard Kowalczyk and Eric Patrick have been sentenced to 14 years and 10 years in federal prison, respectively. Each will serve 10 years of supervised release after their sentences. At the time of their arrest, Kowalczyk owned Orlando nightspots Southern Nights, District Dive and Stiffy’s. He swiftly transferred his ownership over amid his indictment and has had no further involvement with the businesses. Patrick, a former middle-school teacher, pleaded guilty in an Orlando courtroom Feb. 9 to attempting to entice a 15-year-old, according to his plea agreement. Patrick and Kowalczyk met the teen on Grindr, a dating app geared toward gay men, where the pair exchanged messages with him. Because both men pleaded guilty to attempted coercion and enticement of a minor, their other charges — for conspiracy and the distribution of child pornography — were dismissed. Those charges could have gotten them life sentences. In court, the men apologized to their own families and to the victim.

the AI plan. SNAP provides nutritional support for low-income seniors, people with disabilities living on fixed incomes, and other needy individuals and families. Although funded by the federal government, SNAP in Florida is administered by DCF’s Office of Economic Self-Sufficiency, which is responsible for determining eligibility.

Florida Sheriffs Association said it’s ‘significantly concerned’ about property tax cut amendment Two months after it was placed on the November ballot, the Florida Sheriffs Association is weighing in on Amendment 3, the proposed property tax cut that, if enacted, could reduce local government funding by billions of dollars in the coming years. “The Florida Sheriffs Association is significantly concerned with Constitutional Amendment 3, which potentially allows Tallahassee to control your local budgets, creates longer law enforcement response times, limits communities’ abilities to provide road repairs and stormwater removal — these are a few things voters deserve to be aware of,” the organization said. Amendment 3 would increase the homestead exemption for property owners by up to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. The research arm of the Florida Legislature estimates it would reduce revenue from property taxes by as much as $12 billion annually. Representatives of local governments argue such significant reduction in revenues could make it challenging to pay for essential services. While the sheriffs’ statement could be considered ambiguous, other major police and firefighter unions in Florida — including the Florida Fire Fighters, Fraternal Order of Police and Florida Fire Chiefs’ Association — have been less shy in their disapproval of the measure and are publicly urging Floridians to vote against it.

A federal appeals court has upheld a Florida law banning anyone under 18 from attending drag shows, a measure put in place with the support of Gov. Ron DeSantis. In an 8–5 opinion, the majority ruled the law was constitutional, while those on the dissenting side criticized the measure as overreach. “The act is a straightforward regulation of obscenity,” wrote Judge Andrew Brasher, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, on behalf of the majority. “Preventing children from attending adult live performances obscene for them is rationally related to Florida’s interest in safeguarding the well-being of minors.” The legislature passed the law (SB 1438) in 2023. The law threatens fines, loss of operating licenses and criminal penalties against any venue that exposes any “child” to “lewd” performances, even if the minor has parental consent. Following passage of the law in 2023, Hamburger Mary’s sued the state alleging the law violated its free speech and was vague, and sought an injunction, which U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell granted. The state, of course, appealed, leading the case down an extensive legal journey of appeals.

Florida Democrats in a letter last week demanded to know how the state plans to use artificial intelligence to lower its error rate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. To help the state lower its error rate and avoid having to contribute as much as $1 billion toward food costs next year under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Florida Legislature appropriated $4 million to the Department of Children and Families in the state fiscal year 2026-27 for AI investment. The budget requires DCF to procure a contract with an AI vendor by Sept. 1 and directs the agency to hire a vendor “capable of providing large-scale analyses of eligibility determinations using machine learning, identifying and correcting erroneous determinations, identifying root causes of erroneous determinations, and recommending operational improvements to avoid future errors.” U.S. Rep Maxwell Frost and the other members of the Florida Democratic congressional delegation sent a letter to Florida DCF Deputy Secretary Kathryn Williams and Gov.

MEET YOUR NEW MAYOR There are four candidates running this year to replace outgoing Mayor Jerry Demings. We spoke to all of them; here’s what they had to say BY MCKENNA S CH UEL ER

range County’s mayoral race this year has been considerably under the radar, considering it has significant implications for the future of a county that nearly 1.4 million people call home. And that’s not to mention major tourist attractions such as Disney World and Universal Studios that drive the county’s multibillion-dollar tourist economy. Four candidates are in the running this year for Orange County mayor, including three Democrats and one Republican, although the position is officially nonpartisan. The mayor serves a four-year term and is limited to two consecutive terms in office. The job currently pays an annual salary of $261,209. Whoever wins the consequential election will succeed outgoing Mayor Jerry Demings, a former police chief and sheriff who is term-limited from running for re-election himself. Demings had previously been campaigning to become Florida’s next governor, but suspended his gubernatorial campaign in June after receiving a prostate cancer diagnosis. The mayor serves on a board of county commissioners that, after this next election cycle, will include eight commissioners, plus the mayor. Currently, there are only six county commissioners, but because the county’s population has grown, the county commission moved to add additional seats. The change received the blessing of Orange County voters at the ballot box in 2024. Orange County today faces pressing issues of unaffordability, a lackluster public transportation system and homelessness. We asked all four candidates for mayor about these issues in phone interviews. Here’s what they had to say.

Chris Messina

“Compassionate conservative” Chris Messina describes himself as a “businessman, not a politician.” As the CEO of a medical marketing technology company, Messina told Orlando Weekly he’s interested in pivoting to the public sector because he believes there’s an opportunity to “apply business fundamentals” to address some of the county’s pressing issues. Namely: affordability, attracting high-paying jobs and bolstering the county’s public transit options. “I know how to reach out to businesses to engage them, and I know the issues that are involved,” he said in an interview. “I feel like we

need a new vision for Orange County and not another recycled politician.” Messina doesn’t have any previous experience in elected office, but he ran for Orange County mayor in 2022, at that time securing 22 percent of the vote to Demings’ 60 percent. The Republican businessman’s vision for Orange County includes establishing a partially subsidized trade-school program, providing a pathway into the trades for any Orange County resident who wants it; redeveloping blighted strip malls into mixed-use and multi-income housing; and attracting space technology companies and high-paying jobs to the county. “I want to see us take a really strong swing and try to bring the first military academy in the South, the Space Force Academy, to Orange County. We should become the national leaders in space tech,” he argued. “We’re perfectly positioned for it.” Messina is supportive of revamping the county’s public transportation system, although he’s skeptical — if open to the idea — of expanding publicly subsidized rail. He sees the county’s Lynx bus system as inefficient, preferring the idea of bringing more microtransit to Orange County and discarding the larger Lynx buses. “We should downsize the Lynx, get rid of most — not all, but most — of the big buses to free up a lot of capital, and invest in the smaller Lynx Access vans and equip them with technology and make it point-to-point. Probably partner with somebody like Uber or Lyft.” He’s a fan of Seminole County’s new microtransit program Scout, an on-demand ride-share service that doesn’t have fixed routes or bus stops. He’s not sold on the idea of investing more in the region’s SunRail system, which currently runs limited hours during the weekdays from Kissimmee up through Orlando and Sanford up to DeLand. On the affordability side, Messina is hoping to attract higher-paying jobs to the area that will give residents more cushion to afford the county’s higher cost of living. He acknowledged that homelessness is a “complex issue,” and said he supports the development of more transitional housing — to help get people off the streets — but wants to ensure county programs also move people from a place of dependency on county resources to self-sufficiency. During a recent debate, hosted by WESH 2 News, Messina attributed the county’s

rising housing costs, in part, to undocumented immigrants, saying: “We have between oneand-a-half to two million people living here in Florida illegally, and data from the Center for Immigration Studies says for every million people in the country, there’s a 1 percent increase in housing costs.” Messina appears to be referring to a working paper recently misinterpreted by President Donald Trump that was cited, not conducted, by the Center for Immigration Studies. The study’s authors estimate that in the average metro area, unauthorized immigration raised house prices by 6.6 percent from early 2021 to early 2024. But as the Washington Post reports, the actual home price growth during that period was 22.4 percent, meaning that immigration wasn’t the only factor at play. Messina told the Weekly that he, himself, is the grandchild of immigrants. He’s married to an immigrant. And, for those concerned about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in Orange County,“If you are here legally and you’re afraid, I will fight. I will fight tooth and nail for you.”

Stephanie Murphy

Stephanie Murphy, a Vietnamese-American immigrant and former U.S. congresswoman who previously worked in national security at the Pentagon, is now eyeballing the open seat for Orange County mayor, after leaving the House of Representatives in 2022. She told the Weekly in a phone call that, since leaving elected office, she’s served on corporate and nonprofit boards, spoken at “industry gatherings” on macroeconomics and geopolitics, and is a paid contributor for the BBC. The Winter Park mom was known in Congress as a moderate Democrat, having previously served as co-chair of the centrist Blue Dogs Coalition, focused on “commonsense, bipartisan solutions that will get our country’s fiscal house in order and ensure a strong national defense.” Murphy told the Weekly she believes Orange County is at “an inflection point” with its rate of growth. “But growth without leadership and a vision for where we want to go as a community isn’t opportunity, it just is additional pressure on working families.” When asked by a Weekly reporter what differentiates her from her opponents, Murphy deflected, stating, “I don’t feel like I’m running against anyone else. I’m running with a vision for this county.” Her vision, she said, includes “meaningfully addressing housing and congestion and jobs” and making Orange County “not just a world-class destination” — referencing the county’s booming tourism sector — but also a “world-class community” for those who live here. Murphy has faced scrutiny over a $100,000 campaign contribution to her political action committee from Walt Disney World. Disney is part of an industry movement that opposes efforts to diversify the allowed uses under state law for the hundreds of millions of dollars the

county receives each year through its tourist development tax — a 6 percent tax levied on hotel and short-term lodging stays. She’s also received six-figure dollar contributions from billionaire Michael Bloomberg — who she personally backed in his campaign for U.S. president in 2020 — former insurance CEO J. Hyatt Brown, and the centrist Center Aisle PAC. Murphy, however, has denied the existence of any pay-to-play operation associated with the contributions. “Those donors aren’t expecting favors,” she argued during WESH 2 News’ recent mayoral debate. “They believe that I can deliver results for this community, and they believe in the vision that I have for this community, just as all of the other supporters of my campaign do.” Murphy didn’t say yes or no when asked whether she would lobby Tallahassee to change TDT rules in state statutes, which currently restrict that money from being used to pay for other pressing issues — such as affordable housing and homelessness. At least 40 percent of TDT revenue must be used to “promote and advertise tourism” before it can potentially be considered as a funding mechanism for “public facilities,” including transportation, drainage and sewers. “I think that our elected state officials have the responsibility to represent the desires of this community and attempt to make that change,” Murphy said, when asked if she’d personally support greater flexibility with the funds. “I believe that within the bounds of the law, I can apply those resources in a way that benefits the greatest number of people.” She’d support, for instance, trying to use some of the TDT revenue to fund an expansion of SunRail to the Orlando International Airport, as well as the proposed Sunshine Corridor project that would also connect the airport to the convention center and theme parks. As for housing and affordability, Murphy similarly wants to attract more high-paying employers — and jobs — to the region. She supports streamlining the permitting process for development to help speed up the construction of additional housing to meet demand. And she wants to come up with a way to incentivize developers to build more workforce housing — housing that’s actually affordable to those who live and work here — in areas that have easy access to existing transportation and infrastructure. “I believe strongly that if you work in this county, you should be able to afford to live in this county,” she said. She does think the county needs to reevaluate its approach to tackling homelessness.“Human services as a budget line item has grown nearly by 200 percent in the last eight years, and yet the point-in-time counts of the number of homeless hasn’t really improved.” All candidates, including Murphy, said they [continued on page 13]

support the creation of more transitional housing, while ensuring wraparound services — career development or job training, mental health support — are part of that. “There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. And so we have to approach this issue with both empathy and with, you know, effective approaches,” Murphy said.

Tiffany Moore Russell

Tiffany Moore Russell is a licensed attorney who grew up in Tangelo Park, a mother of two, and currently serves as Orange County’s clerk of court — the first Black woman elected to hold the position, in 2014. She previously served on the Board of County Commissioners and was the youngest-ever county commissioner, elected to the position in 2006. She described herself to the Weekly as a “pragmatic leader” who is driven by data and strategic and deliberate in making decisions. She believes her experience both as clerk and on the Orange County board gives her a leg up on the skills she could bring to the position of mayor. “I actually have always wanted to run for mayor,” she admitted. “I learned when I was on the county commission that if you truly want to drive a vision for your county, you need to be in the seat of the mayor.” But as the mother of two small children, “it just wasn’t the right time.” Now her kids are older and more independent, and with an open seat, she felt it was the right time to take hold of the opportunity to fulfill her ambition to fulfill unaddressed or neglected needs. “I’ve seen great investment and improvement in certain parts of our county, but I’ve also seen a lot of our older legacy neighborhoods have stayed the same and have not seen growth or advancement,” she said. “And so I come from a perspective of wanting to see change for the entire county and make sure that all of our communities can thrive.” While all candidates mentioned wanting to attract higher-paying jobs and raise wages in the region, Moore Russell said her own experience in raising wages for her office staff, as clerk, differentiates herself from her opponents. “It requires you to have a strategic plan and set goals, and then how to move forward with increasing the starting pay, but also addressing compression.” As clerk, she’s taken her office staff from a minimum wage of $12 an hour to $17.25 an hour — still just a few dollars above the state minimum wage — without straining the budget. “That knowledge and that experience on how to address even providing your own employees a living wage, I bring that experience to this race that no one else has been able to articulate in the numerous debates that we’ve had.” Like several of her opponents, Moore Russell

is supportive of expanding SunRail to night and weekend service, and connecting the rail line to the Orlando International Airport. She believes the county needs to be very intentional about seeking federal and state dollars to do so, but also supports proposing a separate transportation tax — an effort that failed under Mayor Demings. “It may require us to change how we communicate that to voters and actually have a plan [so] that they can see themselves in the proposal.” She’s open to trying to draw money from the county’s TDT funds to fund transportation proposals — as services that indirectly support tourism to the region — but is more focused on doing so under the restrictions on TDT use under state law rather than lobbying Tallahassee to change the law. “My first approach would be to resolve it locally before anything goes to Tallahassee, and I think this because unfortunately I don’t have a lot of faith that we will not lose our local control.” As a self-described “champion of home rule,” she’s concerned that opponents of diversifying TDT uses would seek further preemption at the state level that would tie the hands of local governments. State lawmakers, for instance, have already been persuaded to preempt local heat safety standards for workers, paid sick leave mandates and rent control (and that was after Orange County residents voted in favor of temporarily capping rent hikes in 2022). On the issue of housing, Moore Russell believes it’ll be important to do some “internal cleanup” to streamline permitting for housing development. She’s supportive of exploring inclusive zoning policies, redeveloping blighted or vacant land for infill housing, and collaborating with the private sector to increase the housing supply, particularly for lower-income and middle-income families who find themselves with fewer options in their price range. Tackling homelessness, she believes, will require more collaboration with organizations like the Homeless Services Network and with neighboring governments, like Seminole and Osceola counties. She supports investing in more temporary housing shelters as well as permanent housing solutions, noting that some of the existing shelters in the county — already insufficient to meet demand — also don’t meet the needs of everyone who needs them. Some are gender-specific, or only accept families with children. “We can look for addressing all the different segments of our homeless population.” Moore Russell, in the final moments of our interview, pitched herself to Weekly readers as a leader who would be able to “match vision with reality.” “What they will get in a leader is someone who is very creative and intentional and strategic in how to deliver services. But someone who’s a fighter, someone who is going to defend their interests and protect them as Orange County residents.”

Mayra Uribe

Mayra Uribe is a mother of two, an Orange County native, and a sitting county commissioner representing District 3 who is well acquainted with the county’s issues. She’s served on the Board of County Commissioners since 2018 — a position she ran for in the hopes of better addressing issues in her neighborhood that she felt the government wasn’t responding to sufficiently. What she realized after being elected to the board was that, while she gets a vote and is able to get some things done, her power as a county commissioner to really set the priorities of the county is limited. “I realized that if I really want to make that influence, knowing that the county staff reports to the mayor, the mayor sets the agenda of the county and what moves forward … I was going to have to step up and take on that role to really see that come out,” said Uribe, who’s received the backing of three labor unions representing Orange County’s sheriff’s deputies, firefighters and correctional officers. She doesn’t see herself as a career politician or as someone who is using the mayor’s office as a stepping stone to a higher office. “I will honestly tell you, I’m not looking at anything else,” she stated. “I just really want to make Orange County a better county. I want to make it to where people like my daughter and this new generation have opportunity, have a real transportation system that doesn’t require you to own a car, that gets you a living wage that you can afford to live and establish yourself, and that really is also responsible to the environment,” she said. Unlike Murphy, Uribe is vocally supportive of lobbying the Florida Legislature to reform state law on tourist development tax to allow the county to use some of the hundreds of millions of dollars in TDT revenue generated each year not only on tourism marketing, but also on transportation, affordable housing and infrastructure. She pointed out how the National Home Builders Association opted to move its massive convention from Orlando to Las Vegas through 2039 — drawing away economic impact from the region — with organizers attributing the decision in part to the county’s lackluster transportation system. “I’m proposing we put some funding from tourism into transportation. It’s a win-win,” said Uribe.“Tourism industry wins, the local people win. What is wrong with that?” She’s also interested in speeding up the permitting process for residential developers, after hearing from developers themselves about excessive red tape and long waiting periods for getting construction approved. Still, she also challenges the idea that Orange County is only dealing with a supply issue in the affordability conversation. “People always talk about we’ve got to build more, we’ve got to build more. We actually have inventory. We just have unattainable inventory.”

“And then, why isn’t tourism contributing to this? It’s the employees that work in hospitality who are the most underpaid in this community,” she pointed out. “We can actually leverage $45 million in tourism dollars, bond it, and actually build 2,000 units. And people say you can’t use that money,” she said, referring to the TDT. “OK, why aren’t we fighting for it?” She said she wants to see Orange County officials travel up to Tallahassee for a day to lobby state lawmakers on issues important to the community, as a united front. “Broward does it. Miami-Dade does it. Hillsborough does it,” she pointed out. “We have never gone to Tallahassee to champion for ourselves.” At least not in the eight years she’s been in office. Uribe supports expanding SunRail to nights and weekends, to help make it more useful for people who want to get around the region on weekends or commute to work. She also supports connecting a rail line to the airport. Like Messina, she believes the county needs to reevaluate its Lynx bus system and consider investing in smaller connector buses. She’s supportive of the Sunshine Transit Advancement Resolution (STAR) plan introduced by local activists with the Sunrise Movement, a Gen-Z climate justice organization, to develop rapid transit for eight high-volume transportation corridors such as Orange Blossom Trail, Colonial Drive and International Drive. Uribe is also looking forward to the completion of a comprehensive day center for homeless populations — not a shelter, she asserted — that she calls “Goldenrod Village.” The idea is for it to be a 150-bed facility that will offer wraparound services and help people transition into permanent housing. It’s not expected to be completed until 2028. “Right now, we don’t have anything like that.” Uribe was part of or is at least sympathetic to Stop SoDo Shelter, the opposition group to a proposed homeless shelter at the old work release center on Kaley Street. The proposal was shot down by the county following the opposition, spurring the emergence of a new group, Support Orlando Shelters, that still believes the plan is viable. Uribe recently told the Orlando Sentinel she still opposes the idea, citing concerns of “public safety, neighborhood impact, and ensuring that any facility is appropriately structured and responsibly managed.” She’s a proponent of government accountability and scrutinizing the county’s $8.9 billion budget — in a less adversarial fashion than the state DOGE team — to ensure that the county is being as efficient with its resources as possible. “I know where we spend, I know where we can cut, I know where we can be more efficient, I know where we can be more responsive, and I’m ready to bring those skills that I’ve been learning and preparing for to the table,” she said. “My No. 1 priority is that people start feeling like they are part of this, and that someone’s there to fight for them.” mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

‘RAGE AND LOVE, YOU’RE GONNA FEEL ALL OF IT’

Phantasmagoria go big for new production of punk musical American Idiot at the Dr. Phillips Center BY PAIGE BR IGH T

hantasmagoria is bringing punk rock attitude to the stage with its updated and revived production of Green Day’s American Idiot at the Dr. Phillips Center, running from Thursday-Sunday, Aug. 20-23. American Idiot is a rock opera turned Broadway hit based around punk band Green Day’s 2004 concept album of the same name. The story follows a group of kids growing up in the suburban “Jingletown” as they go through times of war, sex, drugs and, of course, rock & roll. American Idiot the album was a hit for Green Day even before the musical; since its release in 2004, the LP has sold over 23 million copies worldwide, winning the trio a Grammy and a spot on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Michael Myer, director of the original production, reached out to the band about transforming the album into a stage production after the record got its hooks in him. The band were agreeable, and frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and Myer worked together to expand the story and themes of the album into a full theatrical extravaganza. Since its

premiere in 2009, the musical has won two Tony Awards and a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album in 2013 with the original Broadway cast. Phantasmagoria, Orlando’s Victorian horror troupe and well-known theatrical risk-takers, staged American Idiot last year at the Valencia College Theater, selling out every night. “It was a lot of students and a lot of community members, and when we did it, every single night was sold out,” John DiDonna, director of this musical, tells Orlando Weekly. “A couple months later, I was contacted by the cast, because they had kept in touch and they said, ‘We want to do this again. We don’t want to leave this alone. We still have more to do.’” After a meeting hosted at DiDonna’s, it was decided that American Idiot would return to Orlando on a bigger stage, and with bigger ideas. “What’s interesting is that it’s not just a remount; it’s just completely being rediscovered. It’s being rediscovered because they’re older. They’ve lived with this for a year now,” DiDonna says. Some of the changes DiDonna and co. are

making include delving deeper into the stories of some of the more overlooked characters. “Just by the very nature of the show, Will and Heather’s story can disappear a little bit. It’s very heavily focused on Johnny, Jimmy and Whatsername, obviously; that’s our trinity in the center,” DiDonna says. “That’s the one that is always, in any production, you see kind of like the one that sublimates to the others. This one is getting very dominant.” Other changes focus on what DiDonna calls the “three-way love relationship” between Johnny, St. Jimmy and Whatsername. “I remember when we first started doing it, the actor who played Jimmy was asking all these questions. We were talking about how Johnny needs Jimmy. And then I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, but does Jimmy need Johnny? When you’re a drug addict, doesn’t the drug need you too? Because if you’re not interested in the drug, it doesn’t exist.’” This new version of the musical looks at St. Jimmy beneath the armor of his rock star persona and explores his vulnerability. “Rage and love, you’re gonna feel all of it. They

felt awful that when they recorded the album, when it translated to Broadway, it still carried that,” DiDonna says.“Some people are like,‘Man, Green Day sold out, they went to Broadway.’ No, they just carried it to a new audience.” Elaine Cooksley, choreographer of the production, is also reimagining movement in this new American Idiot. “Now we’ve got the new energy, a totally different space, a different set, new elements being brought in. And as John mentioned, new discoveries and things that were like, ‘Oh, but what if we did this to really push that story forward?’ with movement, or ‘How can we help that story along?’” Cooksley says.“What I really focused on for the cast was, ‘I want you to be individuals. I want you to be your character. Here’s the choreography; how does your character fit into that?’” Proximity between audience and performer is another element vital to the production, which is being revamped to fit the larger (and not in a school) performing space that is the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater. “Because we’re not in a school setting, we talked about how we can push further that idea of sex, drugs and rock & roll. We can push that further in a different setting,” Cooksley says. “We’ve got more space too. We’ve got a huge stage to fill, which we didn’t have before.” “What’s the proximity of things like the sexuality, or what’s the proximity when, without revealing too much or spoilers, but that beautiful song when Johnny is shooting up with Whatsername and is 8 inches away from the audience,”DiDonna says.“It’s got to be that intimate and it’s got to be that awful at the same time.” The most important thing to DiDonna with this production, though, is the ensemble. “That’s the other thing that differentiates our American Idiot from a lot of other American Idiots is that they never leave. The ensemble is an integral part of every single scene,”DiDonna says.“They’re not just a chorus. They’re not just background. They’re integral friends who have lived together and grown up. That’s what Phantasmagoria does. That’s the Phantasmagoria style.” Regardless of outside frustrations with jobs, personal lives, or just being exhausted by life in 2026, the cast takes the stage–– and gives it their all from rehearsal to show night. And once the curtain rises, the audience becomes part of the ensemble. “I want to see people bobbing their heads and stomping their feet,” Cooksley says. “Most of all, there is such a message in this show that is so important right now. I just hope that people see that message and feel something when they leave.” arts@orlandoweekly.com

GIVE IT SOME ZAZZ Theatre at St. Luke’s takes on ‘The Prom’ as their summer production, hoping to spread a message of inclusion BY SABR INA H ANS E N

hen thinking of typical church theater, a live nativity or a Christmas concert might come to mind; perhaps a Passion Play, if a church is feeling particularly bold. But a show about a girl being banned from taking her girlfriend to prom might not be the first thing that comes to mind from a stage that shares a pulpit. Through its summer theater ministry, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church is putting on The Prom, bringing vibrant music, heartwarming comedy and a message of inclusion to the local stage. “These summer productions are always a ton of fun, but a ton of work,” says Steve MacKinnon, senior artistic director at St. Luke’s and director of

The Prom, which was written by Chad Beguelin and Bob Martin with music by Matthew Sklar.“Our place as a church is to hopefully show our community who we are, living out our values — to know that they have a place they can always turn to.” For St. Luke’s, those values are acceptance, hospitality, community, discipleship and service.“The stories we tell ultimately are doing the work of the church,” shares MacKinnon. “That’s why we’re really specific about the titles we choose, and so The Prom really reflects who St. Luke’s is. What we believe about doing no harm, loving your neighbor; learning how to treat one another, grow from where we are and learn from one another.” Set against backdrops like Applebee’s and a

monster truck rally, The Prom promises powerful voices and an even more powerful message. When Emma (Rachel Hope Ihasz), an Indiana high school student, says she wants to take her girlfriend, Alyssa (Kendall Falana), to prom, she finds herself ostracized and blamed for the PTA canceling prom. Four Broadway has-beens — Dee Dee Allen (Ame Livingston), Barry Glickman (Darren Escarcha), Angie Dickinson (Grace Flaherty) and Trent Oliver (Matthew Nash-Brown) — and their publicist, Sheldon Saperstein (Josh Ball), take it upon themselves to personally right this wrong. However, their actions come less from the goodness of their hearts and more from how advantageous it will be to their reputations. While

Emma journeys toward accepting that she can do things her own way instead of everybody else’s, the outsiders end up eating not only Hoosier pie, but humble pie as well. From the scenic designs (Joe C. Klug) to the vocal direction (Bradley Roberts), St. Luke’s production of The Prom proves vibrant, pulling the audience in with its energy. MacKinnon’s direction keeps things moving quickly without feeling rushed, and excites the audience for what’s ahead. Although the large ensemble tends to overcrowd the stage, somewhat constraining the enjoyable choreography by Shane Bland and Grace Flaherty, overall this cast is overflowing with talent. In particular, Livingston’s bold performance as diva Dee Dee Allen makes it easy to understand how the character commanded Broadway’s stages, just as Livingston commands this one. Ihasz is another standout; her Emma has a vulnerability that was easy to tap into, and her sweetly alluring voice pairs well with Falana’s during their duets. It’s no secret that The Prom — which had an unprofitable Broadway run in 2018-2019, but became a cult hit on tour and commanded a film adaptation — is a show that centers around sexuality. Some might call into question a church doing this production, but for those familiar with the Methodist church’s history, it’s less of a surprise. A few years ago, theological differences caused some churches to secede from the United Methodist Church and form the Global Methodist Church. According to NPR, one reason for the split was differing stances on same-sex marriage. In 2024, the United Methodist Church lifted restrictions and replaced them with agreements regarding sexuality. Even prior to the national shift, St. Luke’s had established a reputation in Central Florida for active LGBTQ+ inclusion. While this production may invite controversy, it’s not something that the church is trying to shy away from, but rather invite conversation about. MacKinnon says he hopes people ask questions like, “‘Why is a church doing The Prom?’‘Who are they?’‘What do they believe?’‘Why would they do something like this?’” “A lot of times, churches mean well, but sometimes we cause unintentional harm,” MacKinnon continues.“I think for a church community to hear that is so important because you get a lot of people that want to serve and do good, but sometimes, how do you do that? What ways can we learn from each other to actually do impactful good and meaningful stuff and learn from that? It’s not just about making sure everyone’s inclusive. We hope our community is, and we believe our church community definitely is. Our audiences, we hope, have that mindset.” arts@orlandoweekly.com

BY MICH AEL MUR PH Y

et’s cut to the chase: Noods is very good. So good I suggest you stop reading this and boogie on out to MetroWest. Go on — get. A skeptic, I see. Allow me to tempt with a superlative: This baller of a strip-maller serves some of the best Thai food I’ve eaten in town. Still here? OK, I get it; a growing number of Orlando’s next-gen Thai restaurants can be counted among our best and any one of them would be the absolute best if transported to the Orlando of yore. Those who remember Tamagotchi will remember the first wave of Thai to grace our shores — the cuisine enjoyed its maiden heyday in the ’90s, our flannel-shirted lives a-drip in sticky Pad Thai. As one who indulged more than most, I can confidently say the current wave is bigger, better and far more fun to surf. Co-owners Tarny Putt and Fah Ponprapa are riding the crest of Orlando’s Thai renaissance at Noods, their stylish gem of a restaurant in MetroWest. Noods’ tasty sparkle clearly outshines the ho-hum of its suburban setting, drawing savvy diners from across town who know what I now know: This intimate eatery is an exercise in bold and unapologetically

authentic flavor, a feast of spot-on staples and delicious surprises. The first surprise is the menu itself, the opposite of dumbed down — it’s smartened up with the seldom seen. You won’t find pig blood jelly on many local menus, and you won’t find it put to better use than in a bowl of pink-noodled ya ten fo ($20), with its tangy fermented red bean broth. It’s one of many standout noodle dishes, including khao soi ($17), a dish I dub a “barometer bite,” as its quality tells you which way a restaurant’s wind blows. One taste of the crispy chicken and egg noodle swimming in intense coconut curry found me blown away. In Thai kitchens, yum is both verb and noun, the mixing and the mix. At Noods, it’s also an exclamatory adjective. The rice noodle and shrimp tom yum ($20) is yum, yum, yummy — a harmony of salty, sweet, sour and spicy. Although traditional boat noodles are a specialty and starchy squiggles monopolize most of its menu, Noods is more than a noodlepalooza. You can also expect iconic street food like beef jerky studded with cilantro seed ($10) or an oh-so-moreish crispy mussel pancake ($17) dipped in chili sauce. There was beautiful

crisped branzino with green apple ($40); there was equally beautiful lump crab fried rice ($25), and there is the reality that, typing this, I’ll soon run out of words. Too much tasty for too little space, so here’s a cheat sheet: Order chicken and squid kua gai noodles smoky with wok-char ($19), order pad krapow with crispy pork ($20), order cool but fiery papaya salad, and mouthwatering grilled pork skewers, and fishcakes, and coconut ice cream with palm seeds and mango, and … just order, order, order. You can’t go wrong. Quality execution across the menu makes every order a sure thing and repeat visits compulsory. I’ll part with a peek behind the curtain. If I gather enough mouths, a single restaurant visit is often enough to form a critical opinion — especially of those clearly excellent or flawed. Most of the time achieving clarity requires two meals. But there is the rare restaurant I visit several times not because I must, but because I want to. I’ve had three meals at Noods in seven days, and there’ll be a fourth this week for funsies. If you can’t trust my glowing praise, you can surely trust my credit card statement. dining@orlandoweekly.com

TAMARA MODERN INDIAN CUISINE

Lake Mary Indian restaurant sets itself apart from the others with its contemporary dining room,

social media-friendly spaces and a sizable menu of solid contenders, from tandoor-fired lamb chops to tadka-heady dal fry to a Keralan-style moilee curry. The restaurant features a cocktail program with some interesting drinks (like the “Heart of Paan”). Open daily.

SABAI THAI STREET FOOD

A tight and tidy menu of street eats from Phuket to Isan is crafted in this scratch kitchen in SoDo, with tom yum noodle soup (not to be confused with tom yum soup) being the undeniable star. Though, really, everything from the Isan sausage to papaya salad to crab fried rice hits the spot. Mango sticky rice, too. Closed Sunday. (reviewed May 27) 3333 S. Orange Ave., 689-336-3384, sabaithaistreetfood.com, $$$

PRIMO

The signature restaurant at the J.W. Marriott Grande Lakes still plates beautiful and comforting Med-Italian dishes. Chef D.J. Tangalin (Danilo’s Pasta Bar, Chez Les Copains, Asin at Arden) is charged with executing the vision of two-time James Beard Award winner Melissa Kelly and does so with aplomb, whether it’s binchotangrilled lobster cacio e pepe or eye of rib with peppercorn sauce. Don’t pass on the cannoli; it’s arguably the best in the city. Open daily. (reviewed May 20) J.W. Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes, 4040 Central Florida Parkway, 407-3934683, primojw.com, $$$$

FERRATTI’S

Gorgeously presented house-made pastas and Neapolitan pies make this stall inside the faraway Marketplace at Avalon Park a must-visit. The carbonara, finished inside a flambéed wheel of 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, is an absolute must. As is the bruschetta, layered with stracciatella, folds of prosciutto di San Daniele and fresh strawberries. Open daily.

[ film + tv ] in front of the largest audience in history. I guess the verdict is in: Getting fired by Lorne Michaels is even better for your career than taking a 20-year trip to Buc-ee’s for Lupita Nyong’o. (Netflix)

Streaming Friday:

Don’t Say Good Luck — The latest Sandler family vanity project casts Sunny Sandler as a teen who lands a choice role in her school play just as her mother (Melanie Lynskey) is diagnosed with cancer. Boy, and you thought that Mama Rose was an attention grabber! (Netflix) Hellcat — Disorientation reigns for a woman who wakes up injured in the back of a camper trailer, with the voice of the driver telling her she needs to get to a hospital within an hour if she wants to survive. Of course, this is only a nightmare scenario if you’ve never had to take an ambulance on a Florida Blue plan. (Shudder)

A CHILD OF MY OWN (PHOTO COURTESY OF NETFLIX)

COUCHSURFING

Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss this week. BY STEVE S CH N EIDER

Streaming Wednesday:

Conversations With a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes — The fifth and final installment in the series includes newly unearthed phone conversations with the 20th-century icon whose promising early work with the Beach Boys is now overshadowed by his later and regrettable affiliation with Guns n’ Roses. Gosh, how I love these music documentaries. (Netflix) Nando Between Two Worlds: A Sintonia Film — The first feature spun off from the Brazilian teen drama series Sintonia finds one of its main characters at a crossroads: Does he continue living the clean life in Serbia for the sake of his family or return to the underworld of his birthplace, with all the risks and thrills that entails? I don’t want to spoil anything, but there’s probably a reason this flick isn’t called Another Day With My Boring-Ass Family: A Sintonia Film. (Netflix) Reacher — Jack is thrust into the thick of it once again at the outset of Season 4, when a Pentagon staffer kills herself in front of him

on a New York City subway train. I’m sure the show’s fan base thinks that’s just a typical Tuesday on the MTA, but will they still watch now that Alan Ritchson has outed himself as Never Trump? You piss off those people and your career is over, says everybody who had nothing whatsoever to do with making The Odyssey. (Prime Video) Women in Blue — In Season 2 of the 1970s cop drama, the murder of a student activist reopens some painful wounds for Mexico’s first female police force. Listen, they think they have it bad? This country went through Kent State, and all we got out of it was “Ohio.” (Apple TV)

Streaming Thursday:

A Child of My Own — Documentary footage and dramatic recreations paint a complex portrait of Eleonor Alejandra Marín Mendoza, who scandalized Mexico by faking her pregnancy. And that just goes to show you how little it takes to send some people into an uproar: Before Gringos Locos closed, you could have found me on any given Saturday

night and been convinced I was carrying to term. (Netflix) Call My Manager — The Philippines remakes the French sitcom Call My Agent, offering its own take on the concept of talent representatives bedeviled by the jams their celebrity clients get into. Doesn’t sound very hard, because in the Philippines, the biggest problem you’re going to have to deal with is Lea Salonga saying nice things about the Marcoses when she’s a few gin poms in. (HBO Max) MLB Field of Dreams 2026 — A tradition that had lain dormant for four years resumes, with the Minnesota Twins facing the Philadelphia Phillies at the very same ballpark where Field of Dreams was filmed. Special coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. ET, with first pitch at 7:30. Or if you don’t want to waste the hour, you can watch Alan Ritchson perform a dramatic reading of the Epstein files on the same M train where The Warriors was filmed. (Netflix)

Moria — Argentine sex symbol Moria Casán favors us with her very own I’m Not There, casting three different actors to portray her at different stages of her journey down the corridors of cultural power. And if that seems like hyperbole to you, you must have forgotten how controversial it was when she flashed her cooch at the Newport Folk Festival. (Netflix) My Best Friend, His Girlfriend and Me — A couple of Germans find their lifelong friendship tested when one of them lands a girlfriend who can’t stand the other. The website butwhytho.net called the film’s approach to comedy mean and its characters thoroughly unlikeable, saying “There’s no point in a big ugly feud if you don’t like either party.” Suddenly, I’m thinking all those Jill Stein voters might have had a point. (Netflix) Umthetho — A lawyer has to go undercover to infiltrate a prison gang in this South African remake of the Brazilian series Brotherhood. Geez, all of these countries having to riff on each other’s crime dramas makes me think the world is a lot safer place than I had assumed. (Netflix)

Streaming Tuesday:

My Brilliant Career — Twenty-first-century hindsight lends a note of the bittersweet to this series adaptation of the classic Australian novel about a woman who has to pick between getting married and pursuing a career as a writer. So much for “it gets better”; nowadays, the choice is being a tradwife with or without a Substack. (Netflix)

Kelsey Cook: Happy Hour — From the stage of the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, comic Cook addresses such subjects as the pros and cons of dating a literal chad — in this case, her fiancé and podcast co-host, Chad Daniels. In a plot twist only a German could love, Daniels happens to absolutely despise her best friend, one Shane Gillis. (Netflix)

Tires — Will and Shane have to press their noses squarely against the grindstone to save the shop from insolvency in Season 3 — which makes for an interesting contrast with the career of co-creator/co-star Shane Gillis, who just set a world record for doing stand-up

Take a Hike! — A bunch of Korean celebrities get more than they bargained for when they agree to climb some of the country’s most imposing snowy mountains. And just think, they’d still rather do this than compete for a Grammy. (Netflix)

[ local music ] JORDAN FOLEY

with Kyle Kelller, Hannah Stokes, Patrick Hagerman 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14 Will’s Pub 1042 N. Mills Ave. willspub.org $22.21

NASHVILLE SKYLINE

Americana hero Jordan Foley is playing one last show as an Orlando resident before he leaves for Music City U.S.A. BY PAIGE BRIGH T

ordan Foley has been a mainstay of Orlando’s roots-music scene, playing on stages all over town either solo, with his band the Wheelhouse, or in tandem with folks like Terri Binion or Oak Hill Drifters. Now this chapter of Foley’s creative life is coming to a close with a move to Nashville imminent. But before all that, there’s the matter of a goodbye show at (where else?) Will’s Pub this week featuring performances by Foley and The Wheelhouse, a songwriter round and, crucially, tearful goodbyes and community. Foley’s music career started with playing covers at World of Beer in Clermont, then expanding to other World of Beer locations, before meeting scene fulcrum Beth McKee of the Swamp Sistas. “She was doing a songwriter showcase at the Smiling Bison,” Foley tells Orlando Weekly. “I just went from there and I got hungry.” Foley began connecting with other local

artists and scene movers, including Frankie Messina, Mike Dunn and Jessica Pawli. “I just got into the right crowd at the right time, and everybody was so welcoming and treated me like family right off the bat,” Foley remembers. “I’ve opened for some really amazing acts along the way, but a lot of the people that have really inspired me … these folks, you could tell that they’ve been doing it for a bit and they had a really great camaraderie with everybody. I just wanted to be a part of it.” Soon enough he would be very much part of it at venues all over town, including the storied stage at Will’s Pub.“I’ve gone from playing to two people there on a Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. to almost selling it out at my album release show in 2023,” Foley says.“I’m doing the farewell show at Will’s because the venue has just meant so much to me over the years. Will Walker and the team have always taken such good care of me.”

Foley and his wife, Mariah, will be moving to Tennessee for Mariah’s new job opportunity — and for Foley’s career opportunities as well. “There have been many times where I’ve said, ‘Hey, I should probably figure out how to get to the next level,’”Foley says.“And it really just came down to my wife having a really great opportunity to go work at the Caverns and knowing that it’s near Nashville and in that area that I can tour around a little bit easier; it’s really hard to get out of Orlando.” Both Foley and his wife have lived in the area for over 20 years. Mariah has worked in Orlando in the music scene, and will be continuing that as a booker at the Caverns, a music venue inside an actual cave. Foley’s band, The Wheelhouse, and the other half of his duo, Tyler Hood, all live in Orlando, making this an even harder goodbye. “The band’s my family. I don’t look at them as just a band. They’re friends, and they’re family

to me. My guitarist, Tyler Hood, we’ve played as a duo for years and years. He was a groomsman at my wedding. Everybody in the band was at the wedding,” Foley says.“I definitely think we’re going to want to incorporate them and include them in the future to be able to play.” In the midst of all the moving and goodbyes, Foley has been working on his upcoming album, which features several songs inspired by not just the move, but how long the move has been a dream for Foley and Mariah.“My wife and I actually wrote a song together called ‘Forever and a Day,’” Foley says. “One night I was just kind of stuck. I was editing it and revising it, and I felt like it wasn’t getting to where I wanted it to go. Mariah came in, sat down and worked with me on it, which is something we’d never done before.” Immediately, the song became a duet, a meditation on their dreams of moving to the mountains and surrounding themselves with the calm and peace nature brings. “Literally in the first verse, we talk about moving to Tennessee, being in the mountains, because in our relationship, one of the things that we really focus on was that’s where we want to be,” Foley says. “Wandering On,” another song on the new record, is inspired by what-ifs. The song follows what Foley’s life would’ve been had he not met Mariah, imagining Jordan playing dive bars every night until he got tired of doing the thing he loves most: connecting with the community and playing music. “I think when it comes to playing in Orlando, when you build the crowd, when you build the following, you build the group of people who want to come and see you over and over again. When they show up, and then they show up again two weeks later, they show up again to see you over and over again,” Foley says. “That created this sense of confidence and comfort of being able to be like,‘All right, well, these people really like what I’m doing,’ and they’re not just fans. They’re friends.” The move doesn’t mean that Foley will never play an Orlando show again; he’s already planning to play as many shows as he can in the City Beautiful when he goes on his next tour. “I don’t know what to expect when I do these in Nashville or wherever I do them elsewhere. I don’t know what it’s going to look like in the future, but the ones that I’ve done in Central Florida have been the foundation and helped me believe that they’re the way to go,” Foley says. “I think there’s something special about banter and talking with one another.” music@orlandoweekly.com

DOUG SPEARS & THE FLORIDA CRACKER COLLECTIVE (PHOTO BY PAUL GARFINKEL)

Heads up, freaks. TLU will pause next week to make way for the cover-to-cover takeover of our bombshell Best of Orlando issue. Brace yourselves.

LOCAL RELEASES

Trend is irresistible, its pull inexorable. Step outside the algorithmic tractor beam, however, and you realize it’s a hype-machine mirage. But then what? You get back to basics, back to what’s proven to be real. And then there you are, popped from the Huxleyan bubble and back on the ground. Suddenly, you’re seeing in focus again. Then it hits you: Truth is simple but big. The rest is just noise. That arcadian space is where the music of Doug Spears is. And the brand-new album by the Central Florida folkie, his first in over 15 years, is a return there. The 15-song Blacktop Road isn’t a reinvention, it’s a reminder of both Spears and the world he represents. Even as roots music is enjoying mainstream spotlight not seen in generations, Spears’ reemergence draws a sharper line between him and the current hitmakers. It’s a distinction of not just style but essence. The Americana of Blacktop Road comes from a folk tradition near to the roots and has little to do with pop-gentrified commodities like The Lumineers. It’s got the kind of rural heart that comes from actual country people, not the lifestyle caricatures of the Nashville industrial complex. Moreover, the marrow of Spears’ music is even more specific to here and exudes Floridian terroir. In a state defined by tourism and transience, he’s a true native, a fifth-generation Floridian whose roots predate all the fantasy, glamour and bullshit. This is where he’s from, and where he’s coming from as a songwriter. Spears’ style radiates gentlemanly grace and John Denver-esque soul. Although his voice and

Doug Spears’ Blacktop Road isn’t a reinvention, it’s a reminder of both Spears and the world he represents. Even as roots music is enjoying mainstream spotlight, Spears’ reemergence draws a sharper line between him and the current hitmakers material lead, the songs on Blacktop Road are filled out instrumentally and harmonically by longtime collaborators The Florida Cracker Collective. Shawled in a gentle string-band tapestry, Spears sings of life, lore and landscapes with an ever-present sense of native heritage. Among soft acoustic guitars, the finespun sway of mandolins and the crisp pluck of banjos, he waxes lovingly, bringing a present tense to an old-time ethos that seems largely bygone. Although certainly charming, Blacktop Road is more. It’s a classic slice of Florida folk portraiture, the kind of music so close to the place and the people that they’re woven together in the fabric. Unlike commercial country music, these songs are about wisdom, not fashion. It’s the sort of homespun truth that gets eclipsed by life’s loud distractions but rings with revelation when you come back to it. Released on Gatorbone Records, Doug Spears

& the Florida Cracker Collective’s Blacktop Road now streams everywhere. The album is also available as a deluxe CD with a 40-page color booklet of lyrics, stories and photos that bring you inside Spears’ songs and life like never before.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

M a l i g n a n c y, A n a l S t a b wo u n d , Mysteryxmeat, Virulence: This lineup’s only for the sickest metalheads who appreciate technique and brutality in equal measure. New York technical death-metal headliners Malignancy are the rare, eye-popping intersection of grindcore and guitar heroics, while the uproariously named Anal Stabwound are a blinding techdeath machine from Connecticut. Houston gore grind act Mysteryxmeat make berserk mutant sounds that most civilized people will not recognize as music. You may not quite know what’s going on when you listen to them, but you’ll know it’s thoroughly unholy. Finally, Tampa’s Virulence will be a missile of death, black and thrash metal. All told, it’ll be an orgy of intensity. (7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, Conduit, $20) Ronn McFarlane & Andrew McEvoy: The six strings on that guitar are adorable and all, but the lute of the Grammy-nominated Ronn McFarlane can pack dozens of them. And with his decorated chops, he’s about to get medieval on our asses — or at least all Renaissance on our haunches, my liege. With accompanying guitarist Andrew McEvoy, the accomplished duo interpret Renaissance-era string music with contemporary theory and virtuosity. It’ll be a jolt of new blood into old European sounds for Timucua’s International Guitar Festival. (7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, Timucua Arts Foundation, $22.50-$30) music@orlandoweekly.com

The Art of Jon Napoles and GERG

Enigmatic local artist Jon Napoles resurfaces for a rare exhibition, this time in tandem with Orlando tattoo artist and painter GERG. Napoles takes a break from his otherworldly window paintings to revisit an earlier obsession: shooting targets as art. They are, yes, functional bull’seyes, but painted and collaged in a way that would make both Andy Warhol and Williams Burroughs proud. ”I worked laboriously on them so I hope they get shot to hell,” Napoles told us, no doubt with a wry grin. GERG, meanwhile, deals in intricate illustrations that are affecting and whimsical. A solid way to start the weekend. 6 p.m., Lil Indie’s, 1036 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, free. — Matthew Moyer FRIDAY, AUG. 14

Gipsy Kings

For nearly 40 years, international musical stalwarts Gipsy Kings have been taking their sonically adventurous show on the road — introducing audiences to the intersectional joys of rumba, flamenco, folk, rock and sundry hip-centric sounds. The success of the mission speaks for itself in the form of Grammys, millions of records sold, spots on soundtracks like The Big Lebowski and now even a recent eponymous documentary about the band‘s musical journey. And in another way of looking back to look forward, the band are touring behind new album Historia, an autobiographical portrait of the band’s life as musical nomads. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, $72-$120. — MM

Poppy is ready to rock. The artist’s “Constantly Nowhere” tour is coming to Orlando, following the release of her latest album, Empty Hands, earlier this year. The album primarily purveys metalcore and pop metal sounds, although synth-pop and dancefloor moves are scattered throughout the 13-track record. Poppy shifted away from the pop realm into heavier sounds with her third album, I Disagree, in 2020, which fascinatingly brought her even further into the mainstream. (We all want to rock?) So if you’re in the mood for a night of futuristic metal and synthwaves, “Constantly Nowhere” is very much where you need to be. 7 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock. com, $63.45. — Paige Bright SATURDAY, AUG. 15

Repo Man

Though it starts at the very non-rock & roll hour of 11 a.m. on a Saturday (is this even a real time of day?), the rewards are many with this 4K restoration of the cult 1984 classic. Filmmaker and provocateur Alex Cox’s sci-fi as punk capitalist critique still enthralls. The movie follows two repo men (young punk and world-weary mentor) through the seedy underbelly of L.A. as they seek a Chevy Malibu that may or may not be a UFO. Whether it be the performances of Harry Dean Stanton and a very young Emilio Estevez; the volcanic soundtrack featuring prime Black Flag, Circle Jerks and Suicidal Tendencies; or the still-ahead-of-its time visual modernism that suffuses every frame, it’s worth skipping breakfast or brunch for. 11 a.m., Enzian Theater, 1300 S. Orlando Ave., Maitland, enzian.org, $11.50. — MM SUNDAY, AUG. 16

headlining debut with new album Retrouve La Force in tow. And yet Thomas is no stranger to Orlando stages, whether solo or as drummer for popular local group JK and the Contraband. The name of his latest album comes from his own personal journey through displacement and the search for strength through jazz. In 2021, Thomas was forced to relocate to the United States from Haiti and rebuild his life. This journey of starting over in a new country and rebuilding despite instability and doubt informed the mix of modern jazz with Haitian and Caribbean roots on his new album. In line with the themes of his album, “My mission is to use jazz as a bridge between cultures and to share the stories, rhythms and spirit of Haiti with the world,” Thomas explained recently to Orlando Voyager. That mission will be on full display Sunday. 2 & 5 p.m., Judson’s Live, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

America the Beautiful: The Monumental Landscapes of Clyde Butcher

A new exhibit from renowned photographer Clyde Butcher opens at the Polasek Museum this week. America the Beautiful showcases the allure and diversity of the American landscape in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday. From California redwood forests to the wetlands in Florida, the crisp black-and-white photos allow guests to experience the awe-inspiring majesty of America’s natural world; a world that will continue to endure and inspire despite the best attempts of our current administration. The exhibit will also feature a series of programs, including a lecture and book-signing with Butcher — a tireless documentarian of Florida’s natural wonder dating back to the 1990s — on Oct. 8, a family photography day on Nov. 1, and a pop-up exhibit from local photographers that same weekend.
