Lynn Drury releases a new album BY HOLLY HOBBS

Faith Prince LYNN DRURY DIDN’T PICK UP A GUITAR

or start writing music until her mid-20s, but when she did, the songs poured out. With Rise of the Fall, her eighth studio album out Sept. 29 via CSB Roxy Music, Drury was at the helm for the first time, doing her own production (along with co-production from Rene Coman, bassist with the New Orleans Latin-rock band The Iguanas) and offering a more intimate emotive collection of songs influenced heavily by her roots. Drury was born in Yazoo City, Mississippi, and grew up on a 500acre farm in Carriere, Mississippi, an hour from New Orleans. She spent her childhood riding horses competitively, participating in 4-H shows, singing with her family in church and listening to stories about an aunt who played guitar. “My first horse show was at age 5,” Drury says. “My dad was very competitive and very serious about it. I grew up immersed in that and being on the farm and in country music. My dad and my mom weren’t musical, really, but they loved music — the old Merle (Haggard) and Willie (Nelson) and Hank (Williams), and, of course, Elvis.” After Hurricane Katrina, Drury made playing music a full-time career. In 2011, she released Sugar on the Floor, recorded with Ivan Neville, Alex McMurray, Tommy Malone and others. Her 2014 album Come to My House was produced by Grammy-winner John Porter. Her love of The Smiths informed a lot of her past songwriting, and Drury honed a sound she dubbed “NOLAmericana,” a marriage of ’80s sounds, old-time country, rhythm and blues and New Orleans groove. But Drury didn’t think the sound of her albums matched her intent. “I think I’m only now beginning to intimate the musical vision that I’ve been trying to get on every album,” she says. “I always felt like it wasn’t really what I had in my head. With (Rise of the Fall), being able to be in charge of

FRI. SEPT. 22 | Faith Prince made her mark on Broadway when she collected multiple awards as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. More recently she starred in Broadway’s Disaster! The Musical and her TV credits include Modern Family and Scream Queens. She sings and is interviewed by accompanying pianist Seth Rudetsky at 8 p.m. at NOCCA.

Mr. Burns: a post-electric play FRI.-SAT. SEPT. 22-OCT. 7 | In a postapocalyptic world, survivors bond by recounting episodes of The Simpsons, such as an episode when Sideshow Bob tried to kill Bart, and the situation gets out of control as lost popular culture becomes a new mythology. At 8 p.m. at Art Klub.

production, I think this is the closest I’ve gotten so far. I always wanted some rawness, just honest, authentic, emotional music. Less polished, more intimate. I think I’m finally starting to get there.” Drury’s synergy with her band helped. Guitarist Chris Adkins, saxophonist Derek Huston, cellist Jack Craft, violinist Sam Craft, Jake Gold on the Hammond B3 organ and a host of others perform on an album that is at once diverse, outspoken, steady and true. The wealth of instruments used in recording was a bonus, allowing Drury and Coman to draw out classical string section climaxes, as in “11:11,” and New Orleans horns and rhythm in “I Need You.” Intricate harmonies mark the title track, “Rise of the Fall,” while the lovely “Water Your Words” is a standout track. “‘Water Your Words’ was the catalyst for getting in the studio in the

first place,” Drury says. “It’s a heavy song, especially with what’s going on with everything racially these days, and everything that’s going on in rural places, and in New Orleans. And musically, it really sounds to me like being back in the country as a child, which is exactly what I was hoping for.”

FRI. SEPT. 22 | The inaugural concert features songs and discussion around mental health in a stripped-down intimate setting addressing the role of music as an expressive outlet and coping tool for mental health issues. Proceeds benefit the New Orleans affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. With Alfred Banks, Mia Borders, Mike Doussan, Kei Slaughter and Kathryn Rose Wood. At 8 p.m. at the Old U.S. Mint.

Alex Cameron SAT. SEPT. 23 | Aussie Alex Cameron has a winking shtick that shouldn’t work: a lounge-singing has-been doing dramatic readings from his loser’s almanac over drum and synth patterns ripped from 1980s clippings. Except the skeletal songs — on 2016’s Jumping the Shark and this month’s Forced Witness (Secretly Canadian) — accidentally rattle. Jack Ladder and Max and the Martians open at 10 p.m. at Circle Bar.

IN A REPORT LAST WEEK FROM THE WEBSITE APARTMENT LIST that surveyed 75 U.S. metro areas, New Orleans ranked near the bottom of the nation’s “Best Metros for Millennials.” According to the analysis, New Orleans was ranked 61st out of 75 possible areas studied based on scores related to its job market, affordability and livability. The city’s worst ranking was its livability score (based on a rental satisfaction survey of factors including weather, crime, parks, nightlife and opportunities to date and make friends), where it ranked 62nd out of 75 areas. The New Orleans job market ranked 60th out of 75 areas. Nevertheless, according to an Urban Land Institute population growth study, the city remains one of the country’s most popular destinations for millennials to move to. — KAT STROMQUIST S O U RC E : A PA RT M E N T LI S T

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down guitarist for U2, is reactivating his “Music Rising” initiative to provide instruments to musicians who lost theirs during the Texas floods from Hurricane Harvey. Music Rising began in 2005 when Evans raised funds to help musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures, and helped reopen Preservation Hall. To date, Music Rising has assisted more than 3,000 musicians.

Daniel A. Craig,

President Donald Trump’s nominee for the No. 2 position at FEMA, withdrew his name from consideration last week after NBC News revealed he was under federal investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. The agencies “found he had falsified government travel and timekeeping records when he served in the Bush administration in 2005,” according to NBC News.

Brian Kilmeade,

co-host of Fox & Friends, during a discussion of the 9/11 attacks and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania, asked U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, “Do you worry 100 years from now someone is going to take that memorial down like they are trying to remake our memorials today?” The comparison between memorializing those lost to terrorism with Confederate monuments was historically inaccurate and grotesquely inappropriate.

Torres’ political PAC to hold mayoral forum Sept. 27

1. CHARBONNET WAY OUT IN FRONT IN FUNDRAISING Campaign finance reports filed last week show mayoral candidate Desiree Charbonnet far outstripping her two main opponents in the race, Michael Bagneris and LaToya Cantrell. Charbonnet has raised $1,223,930 for the race, with more than $350,000 of that since July 7. Bagneris has raised $644,100 since the beginning of the year, with $260,475 of that since July 7, while Cantrell has raised $469,281 since Jan. 1, $140,515 of that since July 7. With less than a month to go before the primary (and less than two weeks before early voting), the cash-on-hand totals show an even broader disparity, with Charbonnet having approximately four times more to spend than her closest opponent. Charbonnet has $491,392 cash on hand, while Cantrell has $125,689 and Bagneris $103,479. Early voting begins Sept. 30 and ends Oct. 7. The primary election is Oct. 14, with any runoff (if necessary) Nov. 18.

2. Quote of the week “I don’t see our leaders supporting the culture you like to flaunt and wave around and use. To be a better ambassador about the subject matter, you need to take a little time out your schedule and study the subject.” — Black Men of Labor co-founder Fred Johnson to eight candidates for New Orleans mayor at a forum discussing the future of music and cultural policy at the Carver Theatre Sept. 11. Moderator Lolis Eric Elie said music and cultural policy is “one of the most important and least discussed aspects” of the campaign. Candidates largely agreed that a lack of affordable housing as well as inequitable event fees and unsustainable payouts for gigs have threatened artists’ and their families’ abilities to live in New Orleans. All candidates agreed to change the fee structures for parades and events for social aid and pleasure clubs and masking groups and

echoed a “music is not a crime” mantra — though each had different ideas for ensuring protections for musicians and workers in a cultural economy and how they’d be represented at City Hall under their respective administrations.

3. Mayoral forum at Xavier Sept. 26

New Orleans mayoral candidates Michael Bagneris, LaToya Cantrell and Desiree Charbonnet will participate in a forum hosted by African American Women of Purpose and Power and Urban League of Louisiana, along with more than 20 faith-based groups, businesses and other organizations, at Xavier University Sept. 26. Former WDSU-TV reporter Camille Whitworth will moderate the forum with a focus on childcare, housing, public safety, environmental justice and climate change, mental health care and economic inclusion. The forum is 6:30 p.m.-8

After deciding not to enter the New Orleans mayoral race, Sidney Torres unveiled his PAC, The Voice of the People, described on its website as “a movement designed to inspire policy innovation and political engagement that will lead to the renewal and consistent rise of New Orleans.” The PAC also released two ads (a 30-second and a 60-minute spot) and hired political consultant Greg Buisson, who represents many candidates in Jefferson Parish. Now the PAC plans a mayoral forum that will air at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27 on WLAE-TV. The forum will be held at Loyola University’s Roussel Hall and attendance is free for Orleans Parish voters. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; register online via Eventbrite.

5. LGBTQ leadership

summit coming to Youth Empowerment Project

New Orleans LGBTQ advocacy group BreakOUT! will host a summit to teach leadership skills and help students build gender and sexuality alliance (GSA) groups at their schools. The group — which aims to end criminalization of LGBTQ and gender nonconforming youth — also will offer space for teachers and school administrators covering transgender-affirming classrooms, legal rights of LGBTQ students, and ending the school-to-prison pipeline for LGBTQ and undocumented students. The seminar runs 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 23-25 at the Youth Empowerment Project (1529 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd.). Call (504) 252-9025 or email info@youthbreakout.org for more information.

6. Lens gets new publisher The Lens, the New Orleans nonprofit newsroom that parted ways with publisher Steve Beatty last month, has a new publisher: Bill Ganon, a sales trainer and self-described “pitch coach” who founded the company Connect2Sell Training, which focuses on “presentation skills” and sales materials. Sources at The Lens, including inside the newsroom, say Ganon’s role will be independent of news operations. Beatty, who became the Lens’ publisher in 2016 after serving

NOLA Tree Project branches out for Harvey relief The NOLA Tree Project, which was founded in 2005 with the mission of replanting the 100,000 trees lost to Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods, is branching out to help communities affected by Hurricane Harvey. The group (formerly Hike For KaTREEna) is organizing volunteer groups to continue the work of cleanup and gutting of houses. To volunteer, visit www.nolatreeproject.org, or drop off gift cards at St. Paul’s Episcopal School (6249 Canal Blvd.), Lakeview Brew (5606 Canal Blvd.) or Coffee Rani on the Northshore (234 Lee Lane, Covington and 3517 Hwy. 190, Mandeville).

8. OPSB sets new policies for immigration agents on campus

The Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) has approved new guidelines that immigrant advocacy groups hope will protect students from law enforcement interaction and intimidation. “School should be a safe place for all children,” OPSB Superintendent Henderson Lewis, Jr. said in a statement Sept. 15. “The Orleans Parish School Board holds this as a basic principle.” The policies provide guidelines for school administration for what to do when law enforcement and immigration agents arrive on a campus. The policies (which apply only to direct-run OPSB schools) clarify that “such investigations should not disrupt the education environment at school sites.” Law enforcement must report to the school’s principal and explain why a student must be interviewed, and whether law enforcement has a warrant seeking student data or access to the student. The school also must make “every reasonable effort” to notify the student’s parents or guardian before an interview takes place. Family advocacy group Our Voice/Nuestra Voz attributed the vote’s success to parent-, teacher- and community-level organizing around the issue. The group demanded OPSB adopt a student protection policy at an OPSB meeting in July. “With this vote they have demonstrated that schools are for education and not an extension of the

criminal justice system,” Nuestra Voz Co-founder Henry Jones said in a statement. “This is a great first step, now it is about implementation. We look forward to working with all the other school boards across the city to pass this policy and to ensure access to education.” The New Orleans City Council also passed a resolution Sept. 14 calling on the U.S. Congress to preserve DACA and grant “dreamers” permanent legal status. The resolution “lets our dreamers know that we support them, we appreciate them, and we admire their bravery,” District B Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell said in a statement.

9. Tennessee Williams Fest lineup released

The Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival returns March 21-25, 2018, highlighted by speaker events, literary seminars and readings, theater performances, panels and other events. Speakers include All Grown Up’s Jami Attenberg, Louisiana Poet Laureate Jack Bedell, Detroit and Airline Highway playwright Lisa D’Amour and writer Walter Isaacson, among others. Concurrent stagings during the fest include Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre’s presentation of Williams’ signature play A Streetcar Named Desire, directed by Maxwell Williams, and Southern Rep will run Williams’ one-act And Tell Sad Stories of the Death of Queens, directed by Ricky Graham. The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans will present One Arm, Moises Kaufman’s adaptation of a Williams short story. Williams’ women characters are the focus of “The Women of Williams,” hosted by D’Amour and featuring women who have portrayed his characters to read his scenes and discuss his work. There also are tribute readings, writing contests, and the simultaneous 15th annual Saints and Sinners Literary Festival, the annual LGBT literary event. Tickets go on sale in January.

10. Doug Benson coming to Cafe Istanbul

Comedian Doug Benson, whose stoner persona flies high in his podcasts “Doug Loves Movies” and “Getting Doug With High,” will perform at Cafe Istanbul Nov. 5. Benson, host of standup specials and his own Comedy Central series The High Court, will perform at — you guessed it — 4:20 p.m. Tickets are on sale now.

COMMENTARY

LAST WEEK’S NEWS THAT THE NEW ORLEANS OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL (OIG) would begin monitor-

ing contractor performance in catch basin cleaning was welcome. The Department of Public Works (DPW), which is responsible for clearing catch basins, clearly needs a watchdog in that role — having failed miserably to clean the basins after the City Council appropriated several million dollars for that purpose last year. While the OIG’s involvement is a good sign, it’s just the first of many steps that need to be taken if New Orleanians are to have faith that their streets won’t flood due to negligence. Residents, of course, can do their part by removing debris that blocks water flow to the basins. In the long run, that will make it easier for the city to remove accumulated

muck inside the basins with vacuum trucks. The problem is that New Orleans has more than 68,000 catch basins, and DPW currently has the resources to clean approximately 3,500 of them a year — which amounts to cleaning each basin once every 19 years or so. Obviously that’s not good enough. Another problem is that the responsibility for overall drainage is split between the DPW and the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board (S&WB), whose troubles don’t need explaining. In addition to catch basin clearing, the DPW also has the task of maintaining more than 8 million linear feet of drainage lines. Larger drainage lines are maintained by the S&WB. A debate is now underway about best practices for the S&WB, which once had City Council members on its

board. While few if any of the mayoral and City Council candidates in the current election have indicated they’d like to see the S&WB privatized (and we agree that’s a bad idea), other ideas include making the S&WB a city department, restoring council members to the board and perhaps adding a state senator and state representative to the panel. The S&WB was created by the state, and New Orleans

P H O T O B Y I N F R O G M AT I O N OF NEW ORLEANS/ C R E AT I V E C O M M O N S

drainage affects people in neighboring parishes as well. One idea stands out to us: Put all drainage responsibility under one agency, and put that agency in City Hall to make it more accountable and transparent. The DPW also is responsible for potholes, sidewalks, streetlights and other infrastruc-

ture, while the S&WB has responsibility for the city’s water system, sewage treatment system and (partially, at least) drainage. If the next mayor and council — along with voters and state lawmakers — agree to put all drainage responsibilities under one city department, it makes sense to put catch basins there as well. Whatever the fate of the troubled S&WB, there must be clear, transparent accountability for what’s getting done — and what’s not. In the short term, the City Council should demand real-time numbers on catch basin cleaning efforts, including addresses. The technology already exists to put that information online and in a smartphone app. Publicizing the current state of catch basin cleaning, and letting neighbors spot-check the work, would be another excellent way to engage citizens in the city’s long-term water management efforts.

Inspire the candidates!

WE’RE NOW LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM EARLY VOTING in the

New Orleans citywide elections, and so far no mayoral candidate has captured voters’ imagination or articulated a message that resonates. In fact, most voters’ reaction to the field of would-be mayors is a collective yawn. That’s scary, because one of those candidates will be New Orleans’ next mayor. Former Jefferson Parish Sheriff-turned-WWL radio host Newell Normand offered an interesting remedy to that situation last week: If the candidates aren’t inspiring voters, maybe voters should inspire the candidates. It’s not just a clever turn of phrase. Two citizen-driven organizations are making moves right now to disseminate candidates’ specific stances on hot-button issues: Forward New Orleans (FNO) and the Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR). Voters should use FNO’s and BGR’s reports, which are available online, to light a fire under candidates at the numerous forums being held around town. One such opportunity will come Sept. 28, when FNO hosts an issues forum at the Jazz Market on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard. The organization has asked me to moderate that forum, and I encourage every New Orleans voter to attend. As one FNO leader put it, “This will be an issues forum, not a candidate forum.” Candidates are encouraged to attend, of course, but the panel will be local political experts discussing FNO’s issue-based platform statement — and candidates’ responses to that platform in terms of committing (or not) to implement FNO’s proposals. The experts include former City Councilman and now WBOK radio host Oliver Thomas,

term-limited At-Large City Councilwoman Stacy Head, Advocate political columnist Stephanie Grace and pollster Ron Faucheux (who ran for mayor in 1982). FNO’s platform is a collection of 35 specific policy recommendations in six major areas of focus. The platform was written by a diverse coalition of more than two dozen community and civic groups. FNO has compiled the responses (in some cases, nonresponses) from all candidates for mayor and City Council. The group is publishing a summary of those results in newspaper ads this week, but much more is available at www.forwardneworleans.com. To some extent, all the leading candidates for mayor embraced FNO’s recommendations, but some had caveats. Go to the website to get more information — and attend the forum on Sept. 28 to dig deeper. Voters should also check out BGR’s “Questions For A New Mayor” report at www.bgr.org. The report is a compilation of candidates’ responses to 18 questions developed by BGR. The topics covered include ways to address police manpower; retooling city employee pensions; fixing and maintaining street and drainage infrastructure and more. BGR also put those questions to City Council candidates, and it will release those answers this week. The BGR questionnaires were sent to candidates before the Aug. 5 flood, so their responses do not address that hot-button issue. At the end of the Sept. 28 FNO forum, however, candidates who attend will be available to discuss their positions with voters face to face. That’ll be a good chance for voters to engage — and perhaps inspire — the candidates.

Hey Blake, For the first time in my life, I wondered recently: What does Tipitina’s mean? What can you tell me? — ADELE

Dear Adele, The question of who or what Tipitina is has perplexed people ever since Professor Longhair, born Henry Roeland Byrd, first wrote and recorded a song by that name in 1953. The international fame of Tipitina’s, the Tchoupitoulas Street music club that opened in 1977 and was named after Longhair’s song, only added to the mystery. The song displays the Caribbean-tinged piano style for which Longhair, whose nickname was “Fess,” also is widely known. Unfortunately for historians and musicologists, his singing style makes most of the lyrics incomprehensible. Just about all we can make out is Longhair calling the name “Loberta,” asking where she’s been and why she has a “belly full of gin.” “Professor Longhair had all these apocryphal stories about where the name ‘Tipitina’ came from,” writer/ artist Bunny Matthews told Gambit in 2008. “One was that his neigh-

Tipitina’s was named for a Professor Longhair song, but accounts vary as to whether Tipitina was a person or a place. P H OTO B Y K A N DAC E P O W E R G R AV E S

borhood pot dealer was Tipitina. She had no feet, just two stumps. And she would hobble out to the car to bring the weed out, tipping over. Her name was Tina, so she was Tippy Tina.” New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival producer Quint Davis, who helped revive Longhair’s career in the 1970s, shared a different story: “Fess told me that ‘Tipitina’ was the name of an African volcano that he found in a book. I don’t know if that’s definitive, but it’s what he told me.” In a 2012 interview with WNYC public radio, pianist and composer Allen Toussaint said, “I’ve heard that it was some island that someone knew about.” Actor/musician Hugh Laurie, who recorded the song on his album Let Them Talk, was clueless. “I don’t know if it’s a place or a drink or a skin complaint. I thought it was better not knowing. It adds to its mystique and power to make me laugh and cry all in one go.” Longhair died in 1980. In 2010, the Library of Congress added the song to the National Recording Registry in recognition of its cultural and historical significance.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY of the opening of a blockbuster exhibit that drew thousands of visitors to the New Orleans Museum of Art, taking the city by storm. The Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibit opened Sept. 18, 1977. NOMA staff and volunteers, led by museum director E. John Bullard and exhibition coordinator Betty McDermott, spent nearly two years preparing for the exhibit, which visited seven U.S. cities. It featured 55 artifacts found inside the tomb of Egyptian boy king Tutankhamun when it was discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter. Among the most spectacular pieces was King Tut’s solid gold death mask. Many will remember that the thoroughfare leading to the museum was painted in vivid blue by artist Emery Clark. Her NOMA Nile installation was designed to resemble the Nile River. A jazz funeral featuring the Olympia Brass Band and trumpet-playing coroner Frank Minyard closed the exhibit Jan. 15, 1978, the same day Super Bowl XII was played at the Superdome. More than 870,000 people visited the exhibit during the four months it was at NOMA. “If Tut had stayed long enough, he might have been the first posthumous King of Carnival,” reporter Jeanie Blake wrote in The Times-Picayune the day after the exhibit left for Los Angeles.

tional art triennial, opens Nov. 18 on the cusp of an auspicious event: the 300th anniversary of the city’s founding. As befits America’s most novel city, Prospect.4 promises to be the city’s most exotic triennial art event in several ways. The title, The Lotus in Spite of the Swamp, sets the tone. Most of us know about swamps, but the lotus flower evokes a whiff of mystery as an ancient Hindu and Buddhist icon of enlightenment. Prospect.4 Artistic Director Trevor Schoonmaker, director of Duke University’s Nasher Museum of Art, calls it “a beautiful bloom flourishing untainted above the murky water,” a fitting symbol for our natural environment as well as the resilience of our city for the way it reminds us that “redemption exists in ruin, and creativity in destruction.” As a showcase of global and local creativity, Prospect.4 will feature work by 73 artists from around the globe presented at 17 venues across the city. Participants range from art stars Yoko Ono and Kara Walker — whose massive, sphinxlike Marvelous Sugar Baby sculpture in an abandoned Brooklyn sugar mill was New York’s mega art magnet of 2014 — to less familiar figures such as Kiluanji Kia Henda, who commandeered empty pedestals once topped by colonial monuments in his native Angola, and Monique Verdin, whose multimedia focus on Louisiana’s unique coastal ecology is inspired by her

Houma Native American tribal heritage. This emphasis on art and artists who, as Schoonmaker says, “engage with the American South and the ‘Global South’” — the emerging cultures of Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean — reflects a choice to emphasize art that “resonates within New Orleans’ unique culture, customs, food, music, architecture, language and spirituality.” Its focus on the Global South also may reflect a realization that those long-overlooked cultures represent the art world’s new frontier as places where innovative ideas and new visionary possibilities are emerging at a time when mainstream American and European art sometimes seem less dynamic than in the past. For New Orleans, the timing is serendipitous for the way it aligns America’s exotic misfit city with those long-overlooked Global South places with which we have so much in common. Like those newly emergent cultures, New Orleans has long remained a place apart, at least until Hurricane Katrina caused it to be suddenly rediscovered by America and much of the rest of the world. In 2008, Prospect.1, the critically acclaimed exposition directed by renowned curator Dan Cameron, was an early product of that epochal transformation. Now, as Prospect.4 ushers in the city’s 300th birthday, we are entering a new phase of an inspiring collaborative adventure in civic and cultural engagement.

Fall food and music PARADIGM GARDENS (1131 S. Ram-

Saint Cecilia serves updated comfort fare near the French Market BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund

WHEN ST. LAWRENCE OPENED ON NORTH PETERS STREET, the restaurant was one of a handful of local eateries that followed the gastropub format, offering quality late-night meals and craft frozen daiquiris in a casual bar setting. On the other end of the French Quarter, Saint Cecilia, which Saint Lawrence’s owners opened this spring on the edge of the French Market, follows a similar concept, although in recent years, the model has become more common. What’s different at Saint Cecilia is that the restaurant is open all day — a smart choice given its location. The long list of appetizers is the restaurant’s sweet spot, where casual bar standbys get creative twists and feel most appropriate to the barlike setting. Cucumbers are pickled so they carry a fresh crunch, and the spears are panko-battered and fried. The accompanying roasted garlic and chili aioli has soft heat that doesn’t overpower the pickles. Deviled eggs are loaded with crispy bits of bacon and fried capers, which add an acidic pop. The eggs are filled to the brim and placed on dollops of lemon aioli, and the dish also has a small mound of crunchy cabbage salad that contrasts well with the other elements. It’s hard to go wrong with a dozen raw oysters on the half shell — which are a big draw here during the restaurant’s daily oyster happy hour — but diners shouldn’t skip the char-grilled versions. They’re served bubbling under melted Parmesan caps with garlic butter and fresh lemon juice. As at Saint Lawrence, comfort fare is king here, and larger dishes include a fried chicken and waffles plate and a poutine po-boy, with fried cheese curds drenched with gravy. Smoky Gouda is folded into a three-cheese Mornay sauce and served with cavatelli pasta

sprinkled with green onions — a decadent take on macaroni and cheese. Appetizers are generously portioned relative to their price (most cost $7 to $12), but lunch and dinner items approach fine-dining prices, with sandwiches ranging from $14 to $17 and some entrees climbing to $23 to $28, which seems high for a casual restaurant of this caliber. The hanger steak ($28) was a disappointment. It had too much char, which rendered the meat and sauce pooled under it bitter. The accompanying mushroom risotto was not without flavor, but it was overcooked. A better bet is Creole shrimp bordelaise pasta ($24), which bursts with gently roasted cherry tomatoes. Plump Gulf shrimp sit atop linguine coated in a silky Champagne, garlic and butter

sauce with herbs and arugula. Served with garlic toast and sharp cheese shavings, the dish has a strong Italian accent. Dining at unconventional hours can be a tricky situation to navigate in the city, especially if one is trying to avoid tourist pitfalls in the Quarter. Saint Cecilia, like its sister restaurant, is helping to mitigate that, and it’s a good option any time of day.

This year, it moves the event to its new home at 1700 Moss St. Oktoberfest kicks off Oct. 6 with a celebrity “bartender” pouring the first beer at 6 p.m. and events run Friday and Saturday Oct. 6-7, 13-14 and 20-21.

More than 10 German wines and 22 types of schnapps round out the drinks selection.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Amber Landry CHEESEMONGER CHEESEMONGER AND BEER ENTHUSIAST

Amber Landry is running a new beer and cheese pairing program at St. James Cheese Company in the Warehouse District (641 Tchoupitoulas St., 504-304-1485; www.stjamescheese.com). From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays, guests can sample a rotating selection of brews and cheeses. Landry spoke with Gambit about the pairings.

What inspired the beer and cheese tastings? LANDRY: I think it’s something that’s catching on, and I think a lot of that has to do with all of the new breweries that have popped up. For (St. James), I wanted to learn more about beer. Just researching them on my own and learning about them has been part of my own growth and personal knowledge. I’ve been with St. James for almost two years. I was formerly a chef, and then I started working in the front of the house. I took over our beer program about three months ago. I try to get a (beer) rep in for the first Friday of the month to explain everything, and then we roll with those pairings for the month and switch it up every month. It’s basically offered a la carte. You’ll get three 4-ounce pours of beer and a three-cheese cheese board (for $15). It comes with accoutrements and typed-up tasting notes, so if you want, you can go home and review it. I think beer (pairing) is easier personally for me. I haven’t done a lot of wine pairings, but I feel like wines are so complex on their own. I feel like beers can be complex, but you know the base notes of what they’re going to taste like. What you normally eat with cheese is bread, and (some of) those ingredients are already in (beer) so it’s a really natural pairing and it makes sense to me.

How do you pick what to pair with what? L: We’ve got one of the beers on draught, and then the other ones in bottle or cans. I’ll usually get samples from the rep and I’ll try them; I’ll try to pick similar flavor profiles. We’ll pick a theme or brewery to work with every month, and then we rotate from there.

(Last month) we had a super funky [cheese] with a washed rind that we paired with an American pale ale, so the bitterness and the citrus notes in that cut that funkiness and worked really well. Right now, we’ve got the Fat Tire Belgian White, which is one of (New Belgium Brewing Company’s) newer releases. It’s super light, and it’s got coriander and citrus notes. We pair that with a Cremont (cheese), which is a goat and cow (milk) blend from Vermont. It’s a double cream so it’s super creamy and fluffy. It tastes like you’re eating a cloud in a really delightful way. We did a black lager beer that was paired with a St. Malachi, which is an American-style Gouda and just won a bunch of awards at the American Cheese Society conference. And then we did a sour beer, the (New Belgium) Tart Lychee, which they don’t make anymore, and we paired that with my favorite blue cheese, Chiriboga, which is a German, super creamy blue cheese — a not-sopungent blue cheese.

3701 IBERVILLE ST•504.488.6582

G: What are the easiest cheeses to pair with beers? L: There are general guidelines. Usually, darker beers have a lot of terroir notes, so any kind of aged Gouda will go well with that. Any kind of fresh, younger cheeses with bloomy rinds will work better with paler beers, lagers, saisons. Anything with a citrus note usually is going to work with a goat cheese, because it reiterates those lemony notes. Blue cheeses are weird because they can kind of go different ways, but usually they work better with a funkier type of beer. Carbonation will help to cut through any kind of thick, creamy cheese. — HELEN FREUND

Madeline Kenney with Julie Odell and New Holland

“I FEEL YOUNG,” Madeline Kenney sings on the opening title track of her first offering, 2016’s Signals EP. Then, for emphasis, once more, this time with gusto: “I feel young!” As melodically assured as • Sept. 25 it is rhythmically adventurous, the buzzing • 9 p.m. Monday four-song beacon is a remarkably strong beginning — both in terms of a record • Gasa Gasa, 4920 Freret St. and a recording career — but by the final (504) 338-3567; track (“Make Like I’m”) she seems to have www.gasagasa.com changed her tune, betraying the simmering uncertainty lurking under the rolling PHOTO BY CARA ROBBINS boil of youth. “Lately I’m thinkin’ of runnin’ / All of the things that are comin’,” she counters thoughtfully, softly at first, then with the same open-throated crescendo as before, finally belting her way into a Sisyphean hook, fully confident in its lack of confidence: “I make like I’m makin’ it / But it feels like I’m fakin’ it.” It’s all prologue to Night Night at the First Landing, out this month on Company Records (run by Toro Y Moi’s Chaz Bear, who serves as producer). The album is a shining constellation that crosses orbits with Jenn Wasner’s twin virtues (Wye Oak/Flock of Dimes), Julianna Barwick’s round-robin loops and, occasionally, elegantly wonky indie rock a la Pavement and Animal Collective. On Signals, she excelled at “talking shit” and “going home with a fat lip.” With this overwhelmingly affirming debut LP, she mostly sticks to encouragements, as on side closers “This Way / You’re Happy” and “Give Up / On Anything,” which layer their titles into heaping self-helpings of gorgeous joy. Beneath the planetarium arrangements and tumbling-guitar connective tissue, Kenney’s lyrical couplets are like found objects peaking out of the retreating tide. “Waitless” opens with a typically measured, awesomely metered and detailed scene, more proof her youth was wasted on no one: “There’s something so good about coming home late and finding you waiting for me / In my apartment I hear all my neighbors they’re f—king or watching TV.” Julie Odell and New Holland open.

A former film scholar Saturday Sept. 23) who calls himself Kogonada may be • Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary the first filmmaker to emerge from the Arts Center, 1618 Oretha internet-based world of “supercuts,” a remix culture in which fans compile and Castle Haley Blvd., mash-up clips from feature films to create (504) 352-1150; something new. www.zeitgeistnola.org Kogonada long has been more than a casual fan or participant in supercut culture. His short pieces are visual essays often made to illuminate the art of filmmakers such as Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Bresson, Richard Linklater and Steven Soderbergh. (Examples of Kogonada’s mesmerizing work are freely available at kogonada.com.) As his reputation grew, Kogonada was commissioned by the British Film Institute and The Criterion Collection and others to create new essays. He abandoned work on a doctoral dissertation on Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu when he realized he would rather create his own films than dissect the master’s feature films. The film industry soon came calling and the result is Columbus, Kogonada’s debut feature. Probably best described as the world’s first architecture drama, Columbus builds on the essence of the director’s visual essays by offering new ways of seeing modern art and its place in the world. Kogonada had never even visited a film set before starting work on Columbus, which should serve as inspiration for any film industry outsider harboring dreams of cinematic glory. The film was shot in Columbus, Indiana, a small town known as a mecca for modernist architecture and public art. In the mid-20th century, a local foundation invited many of the world’s top architects — including I.M. Pei, Richard Meier and Eero Saarinen — to design public structures, resulting in more than 60 world-class examples of the modernist aesthetic. The town provides the setting and directly informs the gradually deepening friendship at the heart of Columbus. Jin (John Cho), an Asian-American who lives in South Korea, travels to Columbus to take care of his father, a renowned architecture scholar who fell seriously ill while in town to deliver a lecture. By chance, Jin meets Casey (Haley Lu Richardson), a young “architecture nerd” hanging around after high school to watch over her recovering-addict mother (Michelle Forbes). In a series of extended conversations, Jin and Casey explore the buildings of Columbus and reveal personal struggles based in family experiences and obligations. Kogonada’s influences are not hard to decipher — many of the filmmakers lauded in his visual essays are present in Columbus. Ozu’s minimalism provides much inspiration, and the film owes a significant debt to Linklater’s Before trilogy of romantic conversation-based films. But Kogonada has made something original and unique. Constructed from a seemingly endless series of beautifully composed and striking images, the film contrasts human drama with sometimes-alienating modernism to generate real emotion and illuminate simple truths. Columbus also marks the first dramatic starring role for Cho (Sulu in the Star Trek reboot films, Harold & Kumar), an actor so obviously deserving of leading-man status that he actually inspired a #starringjohncho social media campaign last year. Fans transposed his image onto posters for familiar blockbusters to spotlight the lack of major roles for Asian-Americans in Hollywood. With Columbus, Kogonada (who was born in South Korea and raised in the Midwest) chips away at one of the film world’s last remaining social barriers — not bad for an artist who only recently emerged from behind a computer screen. — KEN KORMAN

STATEMENT OF SUPPORT FOR INCRE ASED MUNICIPAL INVESTMENT IN QUALITY E ARLY LE ARNING FOR NEW ORLE ANS CHILDREN

The future of New Orleans depends on our city’s investment in our children. Research shows that young children who participate in high-quality early learning programs are four times more likely to graduate from high school and become more productive citizens than their peers who do not participate in such programs. This is because 80% of brain development happens between birth and age three, which provides the foundation for future learning, social and emotional development.

High-quality early care and education prepares students for success, enables families to be productive in the workforce, and supports a thriving local economy. Yet, less than 16% of at-risk New Orleans children birth through age three have access to a publicly-funded child care seat. This is in spite of the fact that most New Orleans parents – 66% of married parents and 67% of single mothers – are working, and need access to affordable high-quality child care, which costs almost as much as tuition for a state college or university. High-quality summer programming supports families in the workforce and can close the reading achievement gap for low-income students by two years between kindergarten and fourth grade. Yet, more than 2,000 New Orleans children, between the ages of 4 and 8, who are living in poverty do not have access to a publicly-funded summer program. We, the undersigned, ask the candidates for Mayor and City Council of New Orleans to commit to increasing our municipal investment in children by: • Committing to make children a priority for the next administration in City Hall by creating a department of children and families within the Mayor’s office; • Creating a dedicated city funding stream to increase the number of New Orleans children, birth through age three, who can access high-quality early care and education; and • Increasing investment in high-quality summer programming that stems summer learning loss for children, birth through age eight, and helps keep them on track for success.

REVIEW THE NEWLY RENOVATED CONTEMPORARY ARTS CENTER

looks more polished than ever, so it may come as a surprise that the lobby gallery currently resembles a vast curiosity cabinet — or maybe the most meticulous estate sale ever. But a T.S. Eliot quote in Aaron Levi Garvey’s curator statement explains everything: “It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.” Although the diverse works in this Ephemera Obscura show demand empathic contemplation, their evocation of the secret life of objects insightfully reflects this city’s pervasively soulful yet oddly elusive aesthetic. In a city where altars — Roman Catholic or Voodoo — long have set the tone, the power of ritual objects is taken for granted as even ordinary things sometimes appear charged with mysterious new meanings. The possible variations are endless, as we see in the MILAGROS collective’s populist altar of plastic crustaceans and tacky action figures, and Lorna Williams’ assorted plumbing and electrical parts reborn as a skeletal human torso, and Artemis Antippas’ bleached chicken bones ritualistically arranged on a cosmic blue-glitter platform. Loren Schwerd’s woven thread tapestry spelling out words from chemical and soil hydrology processes recalls Voodoo’s talismanic use of hair in a late-industrial incantation of sorts. Even more subtle is Manon Bellet’s In Search of a Lost Intimacy, a pair of empty Plexiglas cases that, when opened, release alluringly delicate scents distilled by Swiss perfumers from soil and plant samples taken from endangered local habitats. Carlton Scott Sturgill’s Garden of Delights shabby-chic glass shanty cobbled from old windows looks substantial yet ethereal for the way it suggests a trysting place for lusty invisible spirits. Momma Tried’s Voynitsky Estate dollhouse is astoundingly detailed right down to the tiny Tom Waits LPs in the den. But the most emblematic of all may be Christopher Alan Lawson’s How She Saved Everything (detail pictured) assemblage of doll parts, artificial flowers, filigree, toy soldiers and rosary beads — an outstanding example of the cosmic potential of clutter. — D.

Guys and Dolls

GUYS AND DOLLS IS A CARICATURE of • Sept. 21-24 New York City circa 1931, overrun with shady gamblers, cutesy chorus girls and Irish cops. • 8 p.m. Thu.-Sat.; 2 p.m. Sun. Despite scenes set in alleys, garages, night• Rivertown Theaters for the clubs and the Save-a-Soul mission, Guys and Performing Arts, 325 Minor Dolls is essentially a sweet love story about opposites who attract. St., Kenner, (504) 461-9475; Rivertown Theaters for the Performing www.rivertowntheaters.com Arts excels at producing musicals, and Guys • Tickets $41.50-$45.90 and Dolls is an American musical theater masterwork, which premiered on Broadway (including taxes) in 1950. It features 14 memorable songs by stellar composer Frank Loesser. The original PHOTO BY JOHN BARROIS book for Guys and Dolls, a play based on two short stories, was thrown out because of its awkwardness. Loesser completed the score before the new script was conceived, so the story is driven by his lyrics. Almost everyone is familiar with “Luck Be a Lady,” the gamblers’ plea to hit the jackpot, but “If I Were a Bell,” “I’ll Know,” “I’ve Never Been in Love Before” and “Take Back Your Mink” are equally melodic and are performed well here by a gifted cast. I could watch Benny Southstreet (Preston J. Meche II) and Nicely-Nicely Johnson (Adam Segrave) perform their duet over and over again. The curtain opens on a group of gamblers in search of a secret location for a floating crap game. They challenge a high roller, Sky Masterson (Joseph Morand), to an extraordinary bet. They wager he will be unable to convince a beautiful missionary, Sarah Brown (Emily Borne), to accompany him to dinner in Havana, Cuba. When Masterson visits the mission, he pretends to be a sinner in search of salvation, scoring points for accurately quoting scripture. Because the mission is in danger of closing for lack of penitents, Brown agrees to go out with him if he delivers “one dozen genuine sinners” to her next revival meeting. Masterson takes Brown to a Havana nightclub, plies her with rum milkshakes and sparks begin to fly. Brown is sweet and stubborn; Masterson is tall, dark and handsome. Their romance is assured. Meanwhile, Nathan Detroit (Mike Harkins) keeps Miss Adelaide, his exasperated showgirl fiancee, at bay. She is played by Alison Logan, an exceptional comedian who trained at Second City Conservatory, and exudes all the sexy wiles of Marilyn Monroe with her pouty, baby doll face. There are many reasons to applaud this show. In addition to colorful set designs with a vintage street scene, including a movie house with a neon marquee, newsstand and barber shop, there are wonderful costumes and dancing. Petty criminals dressed in red- and pea-green-striped, wide-lapel suits and fedoras crouch to the floor, mimicking a dice game while Hot Box dancers show off their gams. The Havana scene is particularly exotic with dancers decked like Carmen Miranda. The show is a bit long for modern audiences, and it’s disappointing that there’s no live orchestra, which could allow the singers more freedom. Still, the production is a fine rendition of an American classic. — MARY RICKARD
