or most of her career, local artist Monique Davis has been centered at the intersection of art and social justice.

The Washington, D.C., native attended Howard University, where she received a bachelor’s degree in business and public administration in December 1986. She became a Certified Public Accountant in 1989. From that year to 1996, she worked for National Cooperative Bank.

Melvin had family in Jackson, so while dating, the couple would often travel to Jackson. After he retired early from his position as an installation technician for Verizon Wireless, the couple decided to move here in 2007. They opened Lumpkins BBQ that year, and Davis helped with marketing and running the restaurant until it closed in 2011. She then worked at Catholic Charities as the director of parish-based ministries from July 2013 to December 2014 and as the senior program manager at Parents for Public Schools Jackson from January 2015 to March 2016.

“(After I left PPS), I wanted to do something that was a little more fun and spoke to art and something that I’m a little more passionate about,” Davis says.

She applied for a job opening at the Mississippi Museum of Art and became the membership director in April 2016. In December 2017, she became the director of visitor and member rela-

Monique Davis tions, and the director of participation. When the museum began the Center for Art & Public Exchange in late 2017, she started working with the organization.

When CAPE Managing Director Julian Rankin told museum Director Betsy Bradley that he wanted to take a position as the executive director of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs, Bradley recommended Davis to take his place. She will start in her new position on Oct. 15.

In her time at CAPE, she says she has seen more conversations around those issues happening.

“I think conversations are happening that wouldn’t have happened otherwise,” she says. “Diverse groups are getting together and starting to talk about issues that if the space wasn’t created, probably wouldn’t have happened.”

For example, civil-rights veteran Hollis Watkins sang a song he wrote after Medgar Evers’ assassination in front of Evers’ portrait in the “Picturing Mississippi” gallery.

“Then people talked about how that impacted them and the things that they learned that they probably wouldn’t have been receptive to necessarily had they not been in an environment surrounded by art and with other people who are experiencing the same thing at the same time,” she says.

am not a “bucket list” person, nor do I plan on becoming one.

I have no dreams of skydiving or hitting a homerun in Wrigley Field or meeting The Rock, though if we happen to be hanging out at the same place, that would be kind of cool.

However, if I cared to make a bucket list, then Oct. 1 would have checked off one item for me. I got to lead my first workshop, “Making the Most of Music Media,” thanks to BlueSky Studio and owner Casey Combest, who offered to host the event.

For the past two years, I have gone to workshops and lectures at the DIY Musician Conference, which music-distribution service CD Baby held at the Omni Hotel in Nashville both years. But at this past conference, I had an interaction that made me realize that there was information that I

really wanted to share.

A Birmingham, Ala., pop artist who I befriended was telling me that she could not decide between two panels taking place at the same time—one focused on how to build a music community in your hometown and another about how to reach out to local media.

“Well,” I told her, “I’m local media. I might be able to give you a few pointers on that, at least.”

During one of the session breaks, we sat in a conference room, and I started laying out some of the big “dos” and “don’ts” of approaching a media outlet to get coverage.

For instance, please don’t message me on Facebook and say, “I’m playing tomorrow night; could you interview me and write a story today?” (In all seriousness, that’s not a particularly important one, but gosh, is it something I wish would stop happening.)

At the time, I did not feel like I had wisdom to share. I felt like a friend had

asked me for advice, and I was just trying to help out. The thing that shifted my view of the situation is when I noticed that, by the end of our conversation, she had a page and a half of notes from what I had told her.

In the back of my head, I had known for some time that I wanted to hold a workshop on connecting with music media.

Jackson has so much amazing original music, some of which you’ll read about in the annual “Artists to Watch” in this issue (see pp. 14-16). But for some reason, we cannot seem to get the national attention on our arts scene that I think it deserves.

I may not be able to make that happen alone, but I can try to help my peers understand what radio and TV stations, blogs and newspapers like the Jackson Free Press are actually looking for, so that when they venture outside of our city, they’ll have some tools to help spread the word.

My desire to try to uplift other artists never made its way onto a formal bucket list, but walking out of the hotel conference room, I remember thinking, “Dang. I guess I would really like to lead a workshop.”

Still, with that clear goal, seeds of doubt started sprouting up pretty instantly in the days after the conference. That tinge of imposter syndrome never seems to go away, but I truly believe that can be a sign that you are on the cusp of doing something important, even if, as in my case, it is only important to a few people.

After more than four years in my journalism career, I still have thoughts like, “Well, maybe I don’t know enough, yet,” or “I cover music for a local paper, not Spin or Rolling Stone—what does anyone care what I know?” I’m a little ashamed to admit that I was worrying no one would show up even as I parked my car at the studio.

Breaking the ‘Bucket List’

JFP Music Editor Micah Smith partnered with Blue Sky Studios in Jackson for a workshop on how artists should connect with local media on Oct. 1.

And yet on that Monday evening, a handful of singers, songwriters and musicians from all types of music and cities across the state gathered in the mixing suite at Blue Sky and were ready to learn from my experiences.

In the first few minutes, I was also reminded that the imposter syndrome I felt as a newbie speaker hammers everyone who is passionately pursuing something.

Two of the artists I chatted with after the workshop were singer-songwriters from Oxford who had won BlueSky’s ticket giveaway and made the drive for the event.

Although they both play music in the same city, run in the same circles and attend the same school, they came into the workshop with very different doubts and concerns.

For one of the artists, it was the fact that he had nearly completed his bachelor’s degree at the University of Mississippi and felt unsure of the next step. He had been playing music throughout his education,

but now that it was nearly over, he was looking for a way to turn it into his career.

“I’m a little worried that I won’t know how to do this,” he told us.

For the second ticket winner, the problem came when we started discussing the idea of finding a story as an artist. “I grew up in the suburbs outside of St. Louis, Missouri,” he said. “I don’t think I have one.”

And yet, despite the problems that both men brought up, they also sort of presented the answers for themselves.

For the first, there’s the fact that he is already playing shows around town and occasionally around the state, and he cares enough to put a conscious effort into his music career. Put simply, often, you just need to do more of what works and less of what doesn’t. For the second, it is just a matter of taking the time to develop his story and use it to further express what he was already saying with his music.

We aren’t always going to get the “Wizard of Oz” moment. At some points in our lives, it takes an outside force to get us to act, and what’s awesome is that we can be that outside force for someone else.

Some people view the fact that Jackson isn’t some behemoth metropolis as a negative, but it can actually be a wonderful thing. I can’t tell you how many artists and creatives of all kinds have told me how great it is to be in a city where, when you put in the work and try to accomplish something, you can actually see the fruits of that work.

As I said, I still don’t plan on creating a bucket list. Bucket lists are made up of things you want to do eventually. Instead, I’m getting started on a list of things that I want to make happen right now, right here in Jackson.

Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba’s second budget went into effect on Oct. 1, 2018. He is pictured here at a press conference about the budget on Aug. 31, 2018.

Jackson’s Budget Marks Progress, Setbacks

J

ackson’s Chief Administrative Officer Robert Blaine stepped up to a podium at the base of the steps outside City Hall carrying “antique technology.” He held up one of the first generations of the iPhone from 2011 and an early portable Macintosh Apple laptop—the Powerbook Duo that came out in the 1990s. Then he presented a manila folder, much like the one the City of Jackson uses to transport hiring documents called “PER3s” from department to department because the City has no technological way to pass the information otherwise.

“In 2018 this is the state of technology in the City of Jackson,” Blaine said as he shook the folder in his right hand.

“This is what we call a workflow in the City of Jackson. In the 21st century, it is inexcusable to carry on the people’s business this way.”

On the windy afternoon at the end of August, a welcome breeze ripped the City of Jackson’s crest from the podium as Blaine spoke about the impact the City’s technological deficit has on the budgeting process. He said the budget team had to build the $330-million budget by hand

without easily accessible historical data because everything is stored on paper.

Blaine has long advocated for an enterprise resource planning system that would synchronize the City’s data so that city officials can make better decisions.

At its Sept. 25 meeting, the council voted to accept a $3.5-million ERP system from Tyler Technologies, Inc. Despite having to make decisions

and devastating setbacks. For the first time, the City implemented a $300,000 advertising budget to “tell its own story.”

Those funds could also go toward billboards, TV and radio ads, sponsored social media posts, and new hires to help with marketing the City to be a desirable place to live. Some council members pointed out the overlap with Visit Jackson. Mayor Lumumba said this would be

We have seen tremendous success with very little resources... without some of the comparative data that are impossible to compute without an ERP, the council approved the budget, which is down nearly 10 percent overall from last year’s, with a vote of 4-3. Ward 6 Councilman Aaron Banks, Ward 4 Councilman De’Keither Stamps and Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes all voted against the budget at the Sept. 12 meeting. The other members approved.

The fiscal-year 19 budget that went into effect Oct. 1 reflects both progress

a “starting point, and the goal is to work with Visit Jackson,” although he said he agrees there is more to be desired in the relationship with city’s tourism arm.

The City added $8.5 million to its fund balance, and the City is operating in a $7.3-million surplus compared to a $6-million deficit when Lumumba took the reins. City workers are no longer on furlough and will receive a 2-percent costof-living increase across the board.The budget contained no millage increase.

“We have seen tremendous success with very little resources to accomplish it,” Mayor Lumumba said in August.

However, there are other devastated departments that do not fit that bill of success. The fate of the Jackson Zoo still hangs in the balance, as the City continues to fund it at $990,000 this fiscal year. On Sept. 27, the council voted to move $350,000 from the Department of Human and Cultural Services to pay the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration for the misused zoo bond money that led to former zoo director Beth Poff’s resignation this spring.

The public works department, rocked by the Siemens water-billing crisis, needed two loans from the City’s general fund to stay afloat. The City’s failure to collect water revenue affected its bond rating with Moody’s Investors Service sending its rating down to Ba2 from Baa3 in September, citing negative outlook.

“There is no way to put it other than that we’re hanging on by our fingertips,” Public Works Director Bob Miller told the Jackson City Council in August. more BUDGET, p 8

‘Focus on the Cash’

The public works department is bleeding. Despite the City’s efforts to give citizens payment plans to recoup the $10 million to $20 million the City failed to bring in last year because of billing errors, average monthly collections have fallen 42 percent in the last fiscal year.

The landfill and sanitation fund also did not generate enough revenue to cover expenses, with a 13-percent drop in revenue in the last fiscal year. This has implicated the water and sewer capital improvement fund, which heads into this fiscal year at a 61-percent loss (or $16 million).

“This in many cases overwhelms all of the other challenges put together,” Miller said before the council during a budget hearing in August.

On Sept. 27, the city council approved an interfund loan of up to $5.3 million to the water and sewer enterprise fund to cover a debt-service payment for revenue bonds. It also approved a loan of up to $2.5-million loan to the sanitation enterprise fund because it had been operating in a deficit, and the City could not close out the account before the end of the fiscal year in the negative. Both loans came from the general fund.

Despite efforts to get corrected bills out to customers, these new bills did not immediately translate into cash. Miller said in August that the water and sewer fund should collect $7 million monthly, but as of August brought in around $3 million to $4 million per month— some months worse, some better.

“The issues that we have with our billing system is a self-inflicted wound, and we’ve got to heal it—and we’ll heal it in this coming year.” Miller said. “I have focused on billing, and my staff has said, ‘Billing does not equal cash— focus on the cash.’”

To speed things along, the City will soon begin shutting off water to nonpaying customers. Miller said he made a mistake by allowing extended repayment plans. The City has not yet announced a date that water shutoffs would begin, but they could begin as soon as this month.

In the meantime, he wants Jacksonians who need to pay bills to reach out.

“If we don’t hear from the customer, we’re only left to understand that that

“It seems opponents of Judge Kavanaugh are engaged in character assassination to destroy the reputation of a devoted public servant, and a loving husband and father.”

customer has left and no longer desires water service, and that results in a turnoff,” Miller said in September.

What the Numbers Say

The Department of Planning and Development, however, is somewhat of a success story.

“If I were giving out awards for departments, not that I don’t love all of the departments, but you are deserving of an MVP,” the mayor told the planning department’s leadership during a budget hearing in August.

Lumumba said he would feel guilty

for not honoring any of the department’s requests because more planning funds would serve as an investment that will pay for itself. The planning department implemented a long-range planning team that has begun to tackle the 9 acres of land in front of the Jackson Convention Complex downtown among other visible initiatives citywide.

The department will benefit from a 9-percent budget increase or $3 million.

The thinly strapped police department is currently 96 officers short and budgeted for 418 officers, with a recruit class underway. The department is

down $2.8 million this fiscal year—an 8-percent decrease. Chief James Davis told the city council they cut sergeant and top-heavy positions from the budget because the department is not expecting to have promotions in the next fiscal year. The department also expects to spend less on automobiles, given the new addition of 46 cars to the fleet to the tune of $1.3 million.

The council mustered $500,000 for performance-based raises for first responders, at Ward 1 Councilman Ashby Foote’s request to find more money to incentivize police and fire.

The mayor’s office budget increases by $560,117 or 52 percent, including $40,000 for the mayor’s youth initiatives that have not been funded outright in years. The mayor’s office also doubled its budget for travel expenses and air travel, taking the funds from $8,821 to $18,821 for travel expenses and $5,134 to $10,143 for air travel. Blaine said that all travel budgets had to be revised because none were sufficient to accommodate the mayor’s schedule or department directors or who accompany him on his travels.

The budget also makes room for other city employees in finance, treasury, and purchasing to travel and attend professional-development trainings.

The 2-percent cost-of-living increase is a step toward giving city employees better wages because many can find better wages at Walmart. Some council members tried to make the de facto raises more

about the incumbent. “He’s never here.”

I had. We’ve got to get away from corporate money influencing our lawmakers, because that’s why they no longer feel the need to be accessible or accountable to the people.

Gene Taylor, a “conservativelite” Democrat, held this seat until 2011. Why aren’t you using the traditional strategy for Democrats in the state?

t’s been a busy day for congressional candidate Jeramey Anderson. Earlier, he met with the family of Vernon Dahmer, the Forrest County civil-rights leader who died in 1966 after the Ku Klux Klan firebombed his home. Now, sitting at the local Shrimp Basket just across from the University of Southern Mississippi on Sept. 21, the 26-year-old state representative marvels at a supporter’s Facebook comment.

“He commented, ‘I couldn’t be there but I’m excited about this guy,’” his press secretary, Melissa Garriga, reads aloud while gesturing at the comment on her phone as if she’s rediscovered the Dodo Bird. The comment shouldn’t be extraordinary; Anderson is on day six of his seven-day, 14-county, 19-city “People’s Tour” of the 4th Congressional District in southern Mississippi, and he has met excited voters along the way. But this show of support is different.

“Look at it,” Garriga says, navigating to the commenter’s profile. “There’s a proChris McDaniel profile picture, and they like (Texas Sen.) Ted Cruz.”

“It’s weird,” Anderson says, with a mixture of bemusement and appreciation.

“I am so far—like super far—in policy from Chris McDaniel,” he says of the U.S. Senate candidate.

McDaniel, 47, is a white, conservative Republican state senator and, in a separate race, U.S. Senate candidate whose harsh rhetoric on immigrants and women combined with his cutthroat policy on social programs makes him controversial even among state GOP voters.

Anderson supports expanding Medicaid in Mississippi; McDaniel last month suggested the state’s black residents have been “begging for federal government scraps” for 100 years. Anderson considers the state flag that bears the Confederate symbol retrogressive; preserving the state flag is a central tenet of McDaniel’s brand.

“Super far” apart puts it mildly.

Anderson, who as a state legislator holds multiple town halls a year in his legislative district, believes that his willingness to avail himself to voters in contrast with incumbent Republican Congressman Steven Palazzo’s lack of accountability is why some Republicans he’s met, including Garriga’s mother, support him. “It’s not like he pops 10 in every now and then,” Anderson says

cause to me that’s the most regressive tax around, and I’ve tried to phase it out over seven years. On education, I supported moving our school board from appointed to elected, and that actually passed. Everybody has to be accountable to somebody.

Do you think young voters will turn out in larger numbers?

I do. I think the momentum and the energy is there, but we’ve got to make sure that we do our part to make sure that they’re not just registering to vote, but actually casting ballots on Election Day. That’s where our generation falls short. We have protests, and we’ll talk about issues and talk about change, but we fail to maximize on election day.

Have you tried to reach out to Palazzo about the possibility of a debate?

Yep. We’ve offered a debate in a press conference. One organization sent us requests for a debate later in October. We’ve accepted, he hasn’t. I don’t think he will.

How did you get into politics?

stood on these issues, so there should be no confusion. My principles and my policies are what they are, and in my opinion, they are more beneficial to Mississippians than Republican policies. When you vote for Jeramey Anderson, you’re voting for a Democrat. That doesn’t mean that I’m not willing to reach across the aisle and admit when I’m wrong on some issues. If the other side has a better policy for our community, our state, I’m gonna do it.

Where do you stand on campaignfinance reform?

We’ve got a couple large contributors, but for the most part, we run on small-dollar donations. And I tell everybody, when we get $10 contributions from USM students over here, those are the ones I pick up the phone and say, “Hey, look, I appreciate you giving.” Because in college, $10 was all

people are being suppressed economically because Republican lawmakers are providing more economic benefits to the upper 1 percent of Americans.

What have you learned since you’ve been in the Legislature?

We still have a very big divide in this state. Our generation is slightly removed from that because it’s not in our face. But we just went to the Dahmer residence here in Hattiesburg, and not often do you get to hear and be face-to-face with folks who went through bombings in their own communities. We’ve come a long way in Mississippi, and it’s a great state, but we get the bad end of the stick because we’ve got some bad people in leadership. And I think we can do better.

One of the biggest things I’ve pushed is a phasing out of the grocery sales tax, be-

My grandfather was very integral to our community. He was an educator and a coach, and everybody wanted him to run for office, but he never would. He was like, “I don’t need a title. I can do service without running for anything.” While I agree, I always wanted to be president—even in elementary school. And a lot of kids have those aspirations. They want to be doctors.

They want to be lawyers. They want to be president.

I ran to give my generation hope.

When we talk to USM, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, I tell them, if you don’t like something in your community, change it.

Run for office. And nobody at any of those three campuses could tell me “why not?”

They can’t answer that question.

Do you still want to be president?

I do still want to be president. I’ve got a long way to go, though.

n the wake of multiple sexual-assault allegations, why is there such a rush to get Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court?

The answer may be a case pending on its October docket: Gamble v. United States.

Judiciary Committee member Sen. Orrin Hatch even filed a brief in support of Gamble, a convicted felon in Alabama who did time for second-degree robbery.

But the case pending before the Supreme Court is not about the robbery.

The present case began in 2015 after the police pulled Gamble over, searched his car and found marijuana, weight scales and a handgun. The State of Alabama charged him for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was convicted, receiving a one-year prison sentence. The U.S. then charged him for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, for discharging a firearm into a vehicle and for possession of marijuana. Gamble filed a motion to dismiss the federal charges based on the protections of the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment: “[N]or shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.”

The amendments prohibit retrial after an acquittal for the same offense; retrial after a conviction for the same offense; retrial after certain mistrials; and multiple punishments for the same offense.

Gamble claimed that the clause barred federal prosecution against him for a crime of which the state court had already convicted him. The federal court denied his motion to dismiss. It relied on almost 200 years of U.S. Supreme Court precedent dating back to the early 19th century, in which the SCOTUS has repeatedly denied claims like Gamble’s double-jeopardy claim. Afterward, he entered a guilty plea to the federal charges, reserving his right to appeal the issue of double jeopardy. The federal court sentenced him to four years in prison, three years’ supervised release and $100 fine. He appealed, and that is the current case before the Supreme Court.

Every Supreme Court since the 1800s has accepted that double jeopardy does not preclude prosecution in federal court for violation of federal crimes when that same person has been or is being prosecuted in state court for violation of state crimes, even if those crimes arise out of the same conduct. This is known as the “dual sovereignty” doctrine—federal and state governments are sovereign, and both have an interest in upholding their own laws.

Gamble is complaining about the

Double Jeopardy Clause itself; it is the doctrine within its interpretation—the dual sovereignty that allowed both Alabama and the United States courts to simultaneously prosecute him because of one traffic stop.

Hatch filed his brief in Supreme Court on behalf of Gamble two weeks ago on Sept.

11, 2018. In it, he argues that Congress has passed too many federal criminal laws since 1980, and that they often overlap with state

and others who have entered guilty pleas to conduct that arose out of the president’s campaign and administration. However, because of the dual sovereignty doctrine, a pardon would not stop state prosecutions.

Without it, a presidential pardon could conceivably stop a state court prosecution.

Although pardon power is not mentioned in the Gamble case, legal scholars do consider that expanding that power would

The Senate Judiciary Committee wanted a quick vote for nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Is it because of a long-standing precedent that he could overturn?

laws. Thus, he wants the dual sovereignty doctrine overruled. If a state prosecutes a person, the federal government should not be able to do the same, and vice versa.

Howard University Law School also filed an amicus brief about the Gamble case. Howard took no position about overruling dual sovereignty except to say that if the court does overrule the doctrine, an exception should be carved out for civil-rights cases. Howard points out that state courts acquit many civil-rights murders, but federal court later convicts them.

The president and members of his business, family and campaign team are under investigation by both special counsel and the attorney general of New York. The counsel is looking into possible violations of federal laws, while the New York AG is looking for violations under state law.

The president has talked publicly and reportedly in private about how he might use his pardon power to pardon himself, members of his business, family, and campaign team and administration. His lawyer has admitted that they have discussed the possibility of a presidential pardon with lawyers for Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort

be the next step if the court overrules dual sovereignty. This president could seek to expand that power and soon.

When the president was campaigning, he published a list of candidates he would consider for appointment to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh’s name was not on the list. After it came out, he began writing quite a few dissenting opinions on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in which he made clear his willingness to overrule longstanding precedents in a way that increase the president’s power. He has said that presidents should be immune from prosecution for criminal activity and civil liability.

Kavanaugh has made it clear that he would be willing to overturn cases dealing with the unlawful behavior of President Nixon.

In fact, his writings read like a wish list of answers to every legal peril the president currently finds himself in. What is clear is that after these writings, the president added Kavanaugh’s name to the list of Supreme Court possibilities.

Artists To Watch

J

ackson officially earned the nickname of the “City with Soul” back during Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr.’s administration, and it’s fitting.

If you pick up any issue of the Jackson Free Press, you are bound to find more soulful music than you could shake a drumstick at. For one, you can always expect to read interesting, in-depth interviews and stories about local and touring artists from a variety of genres.

Keep flipping through, and you will end up in the events section, where we highlight a few of the big concerts coming up in the next two weeks. Then, of course, we have the weekly music listings, which can almost never hold absolutely all the entertainment offerings taking place in the Jackson metro area.

Even with all that, we can barely scratch the surface of the capital city’s creative

output. Thankfully, we have the annual JFP Music Issue to put an extra spotlight on just a few of the local acts that help make our music scene the thriving source of original sound that we know it to be. “Artists to Watch” certainly does not list every Jackson artist who is currently killing the game, but we hope you will find a few new names to check out.

And no, the “City with Soul” is not just about soul music. In the next few pages, you will find stories about a diverse collection of musicians with unique stories. This year’s “Artists to Watch” include a classical cellist with a passion for improvised music, a New Orleans-gospel-singer-turned-Jackson songstress, a 20-year R&B-hip-hop veteran, and a Clinton deathcore crew playing heavy music in a town with fewer outlets for heavy music.

Without further ado, take a look, and then, get listening.

as Hollywood Luck is only a portion of what he writes. Music consumes most of his time, he says, whether it’s as an artist or as a producer for others, so he is always creating.

In the case of “A Different World,” he recorded most of the music about two years ago, and it is just one of several albums he has waiting in the wings.

“Doing music for so long, I get a tendency of holding projects,” he says. “Some people say I put out too much music, and that gets in my head so I stop putting out (new material), when I make a lot of music. I got out of my head and just put it out myself, but I was holding it, waiting for the perfect moment. Sometimes, you realize there isn’t a perfect moment.”

While most of his live shows are at local venues these days, Butler says he has performed in nearly every place in Mississippi. He also continues to visit and spread the word about his music in major markets around the country, although he typically doesn’t schedule shows in those areas.

“You know, those markets have got to request you,” he says. “You can also

uitarist Sean Borlin was at his day job at GNC in Clinton when friend and former co-worker Joseph Creel walked in, phone in hand, one day in 2016. Creel, a metal vocalist, pulled up a Craigslist ad that local drummer Michael Day had posted.

“It was like, ‘Looking to start death metal/deathcore project,’ and he showed it to me,” Borlin says. “I was interested, and he said, ‘Do you want to do this?’ I’m like, ‘Well, yeah. Let’s hit him up.’”

A few days later, the trio met to test the waters, and after Day proved his skills on drums, Borlin invited some fellow musicians to join the new project, which eventually became Clinton-based deathcore band VØID. The group gelled instantly, Borlin says.

“We just vibed together really (well), and our first time with all of us meeting up, we wrote a song. And it actually got produced and written. It’s out,” he says with a laugh.

That song, “The Descent,” appeared on VØID’s debut EP, 2017’s “Lifeform,” which the musicians recorded with Eric Woolard at Warlord Studios in Jackson.

They released a follow-up single entitled “Wasteland” in May 2018.

The band is currently recording its sophomore album at Warlord Studios in Jackson.

Clayton Brown, returned to Warlord Studios to record a full-length.

While deathcore lyrics often feature graphic violence, expletives and other mature elements, Creel steered away from that, due in part to his current job as a biology teacher. However, that ended up opening the door for different subject matter, Borlin

says. Taking inspiration from fellow metal act Rings of Saturn, VØID’s lyrics moved into the realm of science fiction, telling stories of alien races conquering Earth.

Between recording projects, VØID has toured regionally, building its fan base on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in neighboring states, such as Tennessee,

Now, like I said, I’ll go to other places to promote my music, but just to have a show out of town, there’s not a lot of that going on right now.”

For a larger audience to pay attention to Jackson hip-hop, Butler says he feels it will take more local artists performing around the country while also using those opportunities to promote their peers back home.

“It’s definitely going to take more of an outside presence but also an outside unity,” he says. “Once we do decide to leave (to perform in other cities), we’re so divided. If you go out of town, someone asks you about home, and the only thing you talk about is yourself, that doesn’t make anyone want to do business with you, I don’t think.

“If someone only had negative things to say about everyone in their hometown, I wouldn’t want to work with them. We’ve got to uplift each other when we’re moving around—not just (praise) ourselves.”

“We have only been able to get shows in Jackson whenever big bands are coming through, tour-wise,” he says. “We played a show in Jackson this past summer, but that was the first one in like six months. There aren’t really any metal venues in Jackson anymore that people go out to.”

Luckily, the band has been able to connect with other acts on the road, and Borlin says they try to use social-media promotions and other methods to reach a larger audience.

The group plans to make an even greater push for the upcoming fulllength, with the first of two music videos and singles scheduled for release this winter. The band will announce the album release date and open it for preorder with the first track.

Although it isn’t something they expect to accomplish anytime soon, Borlin says that he and Creel are considering opening a venue of their own to provide more a space for the local metal scene to thrive.

eunta Butler’s latest album may be titled “A Different World,” but the Jackson native says it’s not too far removed from his past releases as R&B-hip-hop artist and producer Hollywood Luck—and that’s a good thing.

“It’s basically me doing what I do: making music,” he says. “I don’t really think it’s totally different. It’s kind of, concept wise, like the love of Dwayne and Whitley from (classic sitcom) ‘A Different World.’ The concept sort of describes me and music, like I have the same love for music that Dwayne had for Whitley.

That’s kind of the difference of it all, but it’s mainly just music.”

Butler, 34, has been making music for about 20 years and is nothing if not prolific, constantly creating new music when not working on his clothing brand, Luckjewelryus.

In 2018 alone, he released singles “Groove With You,” “Stunt on You,” “Hitalick,” “Bestie,” “Million 1” and “Feeling Myself” featuring K Camp, in addition to “A Different World.” He also put out two collaborative projects with fellow Jackson artists: “Hopeless Ramantic,” an EP with rapper Coke Bumaye, and a rap and R&B project titled “61X” with Rashad Street.

Jonté Mayon

by Micah Smith COURTESY JONTÉ MAYON

onté Mayon is a relative newcomer to the Jackson R&B and soul scene, but she has been performing longer than many of her peers—just a little further south.

Born and raised in New Orleans, she grew up in a family full of gospel singers, and even as a child, she planned on pursuing a music career.

“At that time, I had fixed in my mind that I was going to be the next Mahalia Jackson or maybe Shirley Caesar,” Mayon says. “I wasn’t thinking any other music but gospel music. But that’s what I wanted to do from a very early age. Yeah, I don’t remember ever wanting to do anything else.”

Her success wasn’t instant, though—a reality she faced quickly after entering her first marriage at age 19. Immediately after getting married, Mayon says she began to see how difficult paying bills, getting groceries and all the other facets of daily life would be as an aspiring musician.

“The only job that I knew I could get right away, I knew a lot of singers who had come out of the church and crossed over (into secular music) and knew them from my childhood,” Mayon says. “So when I was getting older, I basically (reached out) to a couple of them.”

One of those people, Anthony

R&B and soul artist Jonté Mayon moved to Jackson in 2016 following years performing in New Orleans.

Bailey, was preparing to tour as a background singer for Diana Ross and needed a fill-in at the now-closed Red Room in

New Orleans. While Mayon had never performed secular music, she grew up on legendary acts such as Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and Curtis Mayfield.

“That was my only reference when I was going to do the first show,” she says.

“All I knew was that I needed to, somehow, make some money quickly, and to my surprise, that first time, I did really well.”

That booking opened the door to a three-month residency, and over time, she was able to build a career for herself as a professional singer based in New Orleans.

It was in March 2016 that she first became interested in the Jackson music scene. She wrapped up a five-month stint singing on a cruise ship and returned to New Orleans for a residency at B.B. King’s Blues Club, where two Jackson musicians had joined the band.

“When I heard them, I was just like, ‘Oh my goodness, these people are aliens and monsters. They’re not real. It doesn’t make sense for music to sound like this,’” Mayon says with a laugh.

Through them, she booked her first

Jackson show at Center Stage of Mississippi, which then gave her more opportunities in Jackson. During that time, she was going through a divorce and wanted a fresh start for her and her children, and she was also getting fewer gigs in New Orleans.

“I said, ‘Well, I’ve got some gigs in Jackson, and I want a new outlook on life.’ So I packed it up and moved here, and yay me!” she says.

These days, Jackson audiences can catch Mayon live at spots such as Johnny T’s Bistro & Blues, Lounge 114 and M-Bar Sports Grill, where she will be performing on Oct. 14. She is also in the process of working with songwritersproducers Ste Lewis and Brion Johnson on a full-length album of original music, something not all that common in the local R&B and soul scene.

“You know, I look at the music that has actually inspired me as an artist, and I realize that—and it seems impossible—but that music, at some point, was new music,” she says. “… Here we are, 30 and 40 years later and sometimes more, still listening to that same music. I want to do what I can as an artist to bring that kind of music back. I want music that has staying power.”

History

Bringing the River Back to Life

by Richard Coupe

got as far as Memphis, where we could see marks from when the model was adjusted to account for rerouting the Wolf River .

After the devastating flood in 1927, and others in the 1930s, the Corps desperately sought a way to understand the Mississippi River. Major Eugene Reybold had the idea of building a large-scale model of the Mississippi River so engineers and researchers could observe the effects of weather and proposed control measures over time. In 1943, the Corps approved his idea.

Construction began soon afterward, with 3,000 German and Italian prisoners of war from a nearby internment camp doing much of the initial grunt work as they waited out the end of World War II. The model covers some 200 acres and took two decades to build, though the Corps could use parts of it through construction.

After they completed the model in 1966, the Corps used it to run tests to look at issues such as reservoir effectiveness and flood protection. However, with the high cost of operation and the rise of computer modeling, they began to use the model less and less over the years. The last test was in 1973, when the Corps tested opening the Morganza Spillway in Louisiana. In 1993, the City of Jackson took control of the model. After the Mississippi Department of Archives and History designated it as a

he pencil tore through my sweatsoaked notebook page as I tried to keep up with Sarah McEwen, a local engineer and the president of the Friends of the Mississippi River Basin Model, as she glided across the surface of the model, ticking off the three goals of the Friends: to preserve, restore and enhance the model, and to do local outreach for it.

The model, a National Civil Engineering Landmark, is in bad shape; however, compared to the last time I wrote about it for the Jackson Free Press, it has improved, thanks to the Friends organization. Back then, Chinese tallow trees and poison ivy completely hid it from view, and it was so buried in old vegetation that it was impossible to find yourself on the model.

This time, McEwen led me straight to Baton Rouge, and we walked upstream like Gulliver in Lilliput. We strode over easily recognizable features of the lower Mississippi River such as the gates to the Morganza floodway, the old river-control structure, Natchez. Lake Bruin, Vicksburg, the Yazoo River Basin and the Steele Bayou control structure that prevents back-water flooding from the Mississippi River. This is where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers planned to install some of the world’s largest pumps to move water from the Yazoo Basin over the levee into the Mississippi—that is until

The 200-acre Mississippi River Basin Model covers the entire 15,000 miles of the river and documents 41 percent of the United States. It is the largest small-scale model in the world.

too high, and it became overgrown.

Alabama native McEwen was born in 1991, well after most of the POWs would have died of old age. She graduated from Mississippi State University in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. She currently works at local engineering company Aecom. She says that the idea came for restoring the MRBM while she was working for Waggoner Engineering in Jackson.

“They encouraged us to find ways to become connected to the community, and someone suggested we visit the MRBM,” McEwen says.

After learning about the model, seeing it and realizing its potential, McEwen and others, including a group from the local chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, formed an nonprofit in summer 2016 to begin the long process of making the model into something useful.

So far, the Friends have created an integrated mapping extension for Google maps that locates you on the model. They have also held two major events: a tour and restoration event April 2017 and a “movie in the model” event May 2018.

They regularly hold monthly clean-up days, and Friends speak on the model at professional and historical societies.

McEwen sees the model as a teaching tool for future STEM students.

“This, to me, is a way that kids in the

future can get immediate access to engineering concepts and principles,” McEwen says.

“I just want to provide something for the kids, specifically of Jackson, that will help them and be an advantage, and just expose them to some things that they might not otherwise know about.”

Some City of Jackson officials also see the potential.

“This is the only one of its kind in the world, and in Jackson we need to be displaying the things that we have that can bring educational opportunities, which can bring tourism, right here where you can learn by walking from all the way from Louisiana to Mississippi,” Ward 4 Councilman De’Keither Stamps said.

Ison B. Harris Jr., the director of parks and recreation for the City of Jackson, calls the model “a hidden gem,” and has been providing support for the Friends and has been involved in the planning from the beginning.

“I think that this is a wonderful idea to bring education and history to life,” Harris said.

“Every bit of the model is hand sculpted, some individual (touching) every square inch of the model,” Wayne O’Neil, a former project engineer for the Corps, said.

“I’d love to see it come back to at least where people could understand what happened.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Libran astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson offers this observation: “When you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. (But) the most successful people in life recognize that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.” I think Tyson’s simple wisdom is exactly what you need to hear right now, Libra. You’re primed for a breakthrough in your ability to create your own fate.

Japanese entrepreneur Hiroki Terai has created a business that offers crying therapy. His clients watch short videos specially formulated to make them weep. A professional helper is on hand to gently wipe their tears away and provide comforting words. “Tears have relaxing and healing effects,” says an Okinawan musician who works as one of the helpers. Hiroki Terai adds, “It has been said that one drop of tear has the effect of relieving stress for a week.” I wish there were a service like this near where you live, Scorpio.

The next two weeks will be a perfect time to relieve pent-up worry and sadness and anxiety through cathartic rituals like crying. What other strategies might work for you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Fling out friendly feelers! Sling out interesting invitations!

Figure out how to get noticed for all the right reasons!

Make yourself so interesting that no one can resist your proposals! Use your spunky riddle-solving powers to help ease your tribe’s anxieties. Risk looking odd if that will make you smarter! Plunk yourself down in pivotal places where vitality is welling up! Send out telepathic beams that say, “I’m ready for sweet adventure. I’m ready for invigorating transformation!”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

“Someone spoke to me last night, told me the truth,” writes poet Doeianne Laux. “I knew I should make myself get up, write it down, but it was late, and I was exhausted from working. Now I remember only the flavor.” I offer these thoughts, Capricorn, in the hope that they’ll help you avoid Laux’s mistake. I’m quite sure that crucial insights and revelations will be coming your way, and I want you to do whatever’s necessary to completely capture them so you can study and meditate on them at length.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

As a young man, Aquarian poet Louis Dudek struck up a correspondence with renowned poet Ezra Pound, who was 32 years older. Dudek “admired him immensely,” and “loved him for the joy and the luminosity” of his poetry, but also resented him “for being so magnificent.” With a mix of mischief and adulation, Dudek wrote a poem to his hero. It included these lines: “For Christ’s sake, you didn’t invent sunlight. There was sun dazzle before you. But you talk as if you made light or discovered it.” I hope his frisky tone might inspire you to try something similar with your own idols. It would be healthy to be more playful and lighthearted about anything or anyone you take too seriously or give enormous power to.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

In his book “Till We Have Faces,” C. S. Lewis writes, “Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.” In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I suggest you seek out dark holy places that evoke wonder and reverence, even awe. Hopefully, you will be inspired thereby to bring new beauty into your life. You’ll be purged of trivial concerns and become receptive to a fresh promise from your future life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

“Electra” is an action-packed story written by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. It features epic characters taking drastic action in response to extreme events. In contrast to that text is Marcel Proust’s novel “In Search of Lost Time,” which draws from the sensitive author’s experiences growing up, coming of age and falling in love, all the while in quest for meaning and beauty. Author Virginia Woolfe

compared the two works, writing, “In six pages of Proust we can find more complicated and varied emotions than in the whole of the Electra.” In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you specialize in the Proustian mode rather than the Sophoclean. Your feelings in the next five weeks could be as rich and interesting and educational as they have been in a long time. Honor them!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Researchers in Maryland have created a new building material with a strength-to-weight ratio that’s eight times better than steel. It’s an effective insulator, and in some forms can be bent and folded. Best of all, it’s biodegradable and costeffective. The stuff is called nanowood, and is derived from lightweight, fast-growing trees like balsa. I propose that we make it your main metaphor for the foreseeable future.

Why? Because I think you’re primed to locate or create your own version of a flexible, durable, robust building block.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

The U.S. Secretary of Defense paid an official visit to Indonesia early this year. The government arranged for him to observe soldiers as they demonstrated how tough and welltrained they were. Some of the troops shimmied through broken glass, demolished bricks with their heads, walked through fire and bit heads off snakes. I hope you won’t try stunts like that in the coming weeks, Gemini. It will be a favorable time for you show off your skills and make strong impressions. You’ll be wise to impress important people with how creative and resourceful you are. But there’s no need to try too hard or resort to exaggeration.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

i confess that i have a fuzzy self-image. With odd regularity, i don’t seem to know exactly what or who i am. For example, i sometimes think i’m so nice and polite that i need to toughen up. But on other occasions i feel my views are so outrageous and controversial that i should tone myself down. Which is true? Often, i even neglect to capitalize the word “i.” You have probably experienced some of this fuzziness, my fellow Cancerian. But you’re now in a favorable phase to cultivate a more definitive self-image. Here’s a helpful tip: We Cancerians have a natural talent for inspiring people to love us. This ability will come in especially handy as we work on making an enduring upgrade from i to I. Our allies’ support and feedback will fuel our inner efforts to clarify our identity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

“I am a little afraid of love, it makes me rather stupid.” So said author Simone de Beauvoir in a letter she wrote to her lover, Nelson Algren. I’m happy to let you know, Leo, that during the next 12 months, love is likely to have the opposite effect on you. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it will tend to make you smarter and more perceptive. To the degree that you expand your capacity for love, you will become more resilient and a better decision-maker. As you get the chance to express love with utmost skill and artistry, you will awaken dormant potentials and boost your personal power.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Your theme in the coming weeks is the art of attending to details. But wait! I said “the art.” That means attending to details with panache, not with overly meticulous fussing. For inspiration, meditate on St. Francis Xavier’s advice, “Be great in little things.” And let’s take his thought a step further with a quote from author Richard Shivers: “Be great in little things, and you will be given opportunity to do big things.”

Novelist Tom Robbins provides us with one more nuance: “When we accept small wonders, we qualify ourselves to imagine great wonders.”

When 8 this year’s finalist for Best Barista Ben Ford isn’t making coffee at Deep South Pops or playing music, he’s out and about in Jackson. Here are his top nine favorite places in the metro area.

Ben Ford

1 Deep South Pops (1800 N. State St., 601-3982174; 4500 Interstate 55 N., Suite 173, 601-398-0623; deepsouthpops.com)

Aside from being my parttime workplace, this place has become a second home to myself and many in our area. It has great products and people, and is a good workspace.

2 Thai Tasty (5050 Parkway Drive, Suite 7, 601-540-2534)

October 3 - 16, 2018 • jfp.ms

This is hands-down one of the best Thai spots in Jackson and a frequent date spot for me and my wife.

34

3 The Country Squire (1855 Lakeland Drive, Suite B10, 601-362-2233, thecountrysquireonline.com) This spot features handblended tobaccos and good company. It’s a great place to work from as well.

4 Good Citizen (310 Jefferson St., 601-7085067, shopgoodcitizen.co)

Located in downtown Clinton, Good Citizen allows you to get handmade gifts from local and global craftspeople.

5 Noble Barber (1065 Highland Colony Pkwy., Suite F, Ridgeland, 601-8566665, noblebarber.com)

7 The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen (1200 N. State St., Suite 100, 601-398-4562, themanshipjackson.com)

6 Mississippi Civil Rights Museum (222 North St., Suite 2205, 601-576-6800, mscivilrightsmuseum.com)

8 Fondren (fondren.org)

Noble Barber is one of the few men-focused barber shops in Jackson. Lanis Noble and his crew are great and provide a great haircutting experience.

This museum, along with the Museum of Mississippi History, tell the story of much of Jackson’s history.

This one kinda speaks for itself. I believe local Jacksonians have probably not had a bad experience here, and the food is great..

This spot is basically a hub for many Jackson small businesses and fun entertainment. Many things you might need are within walking distance here.

9

9 Blue Sky Studios (blueskysstudio.org, 601-460-0448)

Blue Sky Studios is a vibe-y music studio located in the Lefleur’s Bluff area that kind-of flies under the Jackson radar.

It’s very useful for both you musicians out there and also for those who enjoy live music experiences. Owner Casey Combest often hosts house shows in his space that can easily rival the usual “big venue” shows
