Prairie Home Companion” and its successor, “Live from Here,” have long been tied to the Midwest. But come September, Chris Thile will be hosting the variety show in New York City instead of St. Paul, Minn. Before that switch, Thile, comedian Tig Notaro, Ben Folds and I’m With Her will stop at Tanglewood on Saturday, June 15, as part of the program’s summer tour. The show will broadcast live from the Koussevitzky Music Shed beginning at 5:45 p.m. In advance of the event, Thile answered five questions by phone. The interview has been edited for length.

1

This edition of “Live from Here” will feature Tig Notaro, Ben Folds and I’m With Her. For you, what makes each of these acts distinctive?

2

After this summer’s touring, you will be settling into the show’s new home at The Town Hall in New York City.

Why the change?

It’s been a pretty steady diet of change for us since I became the host of this show, and the show keeps becoming more and more like itself. I love New York. I live in New York. I think New York is, maybe in certain ways, America’s window to the world and the world’s window to America. I love the Twin Cities, as well, but this is where I live. There’s just so much going on here all the time. I feel like the world journeys through New York, and I’m excited to hear what that does to our radio show.

3

What were your concerns, if any, about making the switch?

Chris Thile will perform “Live From Here” on Saturday, June 15, at Tanglewood.

year, you got bit on the eyelid by a mosquito.

That’s right!

There are myriad concerns attached to any amount of change, as I’m sure you’ve experienced in your own life and any of us experience as we go through our lives, wondering if the decisions that we make are correct.

But I suppose I’m not really worried about it. There’s a sound that I hear in my head, and I’m so fortunate to have the collaborators that I have who also have sounds in their head and as long as we hear those sounds in our head, the show’s going to be OK. Of course, the work of getting those sounds that we hear in our heads onto the airwaves is real and difficult and at times stressful work, but it’s also beloved, and it’s limitless edifying.

I think that these changes will introduce new obstacles, and then also take obstacles away. That sense really curtails any worry that I have surrounding the transition.

4

Back to the summer.

At Tanglewood last

Are bug bites a big problem for musicians during these outdoor performances during the summertime? You don’t really have a free hand for swatting them away.

That’s true. I had not thought about that since it happened. I think it’s a fact of outdoor performance, and you just sort of accept it. There might be wind through the microphone.

There might be — a fire engine might careen by. As we’ve had before outdoors there, you might have a lowing peacock. Just any number of things, all of which are just kind of delightful in their own way. Certainly a mosquito bite is not that delightful except that it made for [a funny opening].

5

What would your ideal 24 hours in the Berkshires involve?

I’ve got to say being at Tan-

glewood is one of my very favorite things, ... [and] just to make sure I’m outside as much as possible. I want to eat a tomato while I’m there.

I want something to be grilled. I want to eat outside.

I want to listen to music outside or make it, and I want to go on a hike. And I want to be up late with some sort of regal snifter of something, like brandy or old whiskey — something old. I want to drink something old while I’m up there, I think is what I’m trying to say. It might be an old wine. It might be an old brandy. And I want that to happen in the neighborhood of hardwood furniture and a leather chair. I don’t have to be on either, but I want to see them while I’m having my old beverage after a day of listening to and/ or making music outside and walking around.

For starters, I think Tig Notaro is one of the most creative comedians in the world. She was on the show my first season as host, and I was agog. I think she’s brilliant. ... [There’s ] a routine she did on late-night once where she was basically just making a chair squeak against the floor — it’s worth a look. ... Ben Folds is a total hero of mine. I’ve been obsessed since I was in college, if not before. I remember when that second Ben Folds Five record [“Whatever and Ever Amen”] came out and putting on that first song, “One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces” ... just sort of, oh, this is a real thing that I’m going to need to deal with now as an aspiring evolving musician. He’s continued to do it. He’s just continuing to do extraordinary work. He was on the show last year. ... As far as I’m With Her, where do I

even start? They’re one of the best bands in the world, and I’m just the luckiest man in the world [because] I feel like I’m good friends with all three [Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’Donovan] of them. But I actually mean that; that’s not hyperbole. I really feel like they’re one of the best bands in the world.

TAKE 5 Chris Thile Q&A

Art that evokes ‘thoughtful experiences’ Mass MoCA exhibit examines women, women of color’s place — or lack thereof — in art history NORTH ADAMS — In Gene-

vieve Gaignard’s portrait, “The 99cent Store,” a young woman, dressed in a pink sweatshirt with black kittens on it, jeans with a rip in one knee and white boots stands on a street corner outside a discount store. Her hair is crimped and frizzy. She stares directly at the viewer, as if she can see them too.

The image is simple, but the young woman’s stare is intense, confident. Who is she? Does she live in that neighborhood? Or is she a tourist taking an ironic photograph? The viewer’s questions are left unanswered, but hopefully, those questions will spark a conversation or internal dialogue on a deeper level.

“My hope is that the work sparks conversations around acceptance of others and breaks the notions of stereotypes in order to embrace the many complexities of identity,” Gaignard said of her work in an email interview with The Berkshire Eagle.

Gaignard, a Los Angelesbased artist, uses photographic self-portraiture, sculpture and installation to explore race, femininity and class.

With “The 99cent Store,” she’s posed herself as a teenager, in an ordinary situation.

“She’s challenging the immediate judgment you make when you see this image.

She requires us to go deeper, to think about the assumptions being made about that person,” said Laura Thompson, curator of Kidspace and director of education at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.

Originally from Orange, Gaignard’s artwork focuses on her biracial identity — her father is African American, her mother is white.

“The inspirations behind my photography, and all my work, stems from the voice of my inner child and the experiences I had growing up biracial in America,” she said.

“As I play back moments from from my past, I’m able to explore through my art a lot of the questions and feelings I had about not fitting in or belonging in a racially divided society.”

Gaignard’s work will be part of the year long exhibition, “Still I Rise” — opening Saturday, June 15, at Kidspace at Mass MoCA — which uses portraiture, specifically of women and women of

color, to explore the topics of female power, social privilege and the representation of women in art history.

“We’re coming off of a four-year project focused on social-emotional learning, with series on empathy, optimism, courage and problem solving. We wanted to look at exhibitions in which that skill set could be applied,” Thompson said. “We also wanted to look at portraiture and it has been a while since we’ve done anything that focused on revisiting art history. We also really wanted to examine race with kids, to be able to have some conversations with them about why certain people were not included in the western art historical cannon.”

African American identity.

“Both Genevieve and Deborah create work based on their personal experiences growing up. They share the same experience of questioning their identity and of how they are being perceived,” Thompson said.

Also included in the show are works by Japanese Canadian artist Tim Okamura and Gustave Blanche III. Blanche, a figurative painter known for his portraits of everyday laborers, ranging from life-size images to pocket-sized paintings, will exhibit a painting of celebrated New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Chase, who recently died at the age of 96, was known as the “Queen of Creole Cuisine” and was famous for hosting many heads of state at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant.

“This show makes good connections to other exhibi-

tions at the museum, such as Cauleen Smith’s ‘We Already Have What We Need’ or ERRE’s ‘Them and Us / Ellos y Nosotros,’ opening in August,” Thompson said.

“In a lot of cases, across the museum, we’re really thinking about identity and contemporary issues at the forefront of politics, discussions, debates and protests that are happening ... We really want to acknowledge that our visitors are coming to us with all sorts of knowledge and we want to capitalize on it and use the art to facilitate discussions that need to be had and are happening. We really want to provide opportunities for these very thoughtful experiences to happen.”

Kleinveld & Julien (Elizabeth Kleinveld and Epaul Julien) reinterpret famous paintings, such as “Washington Crossing the Delaware” or “American Gothic” to include historically underrepresented people.

“A lot of artists included in the show use their art to build an awareness of the fact that these groups have been marginalized and not included in these very white western canons; whether visual or art historical narrative,” Thompson said.

She said collage artist Deborah Roberts uses her art to question what is “considered beautiful and who gets that word placed on them.”

With her collage work, Roberts challenges how race and beauty are portrayed in popular media and how these images have contributed toward the marginalization of

peeling an onion or dancing, you immersed yourself in the task and did your absolute best at it,” he said. “I think this music speaks to that.

There is an authenticity and sincerity that is echoed in that kind of music.”

BY NICOLAS DAVIDOFF The Berkshire Eagle

PITTSFIELD — The strum of banjos and the thumping of dancing feet have lured Americans from North and South to the warmth of a campfire for centuries. This weekend at Hancock Shaker Village, musicians, dancers and listeners alike will play an equal part in honoring this jovial tradition of folk and bluegrass music.

Oldtone Productions will host the Second Annual Northeast Fiddlers’ Convention from Friday, June 14, through Sunday, June 16.

The event’s organizers hope to build on the success of last year’s convention by prolonging the festivities through the entire weekend and making camping available on site this year.

“Sleeping under the stars, surrounded by great music, will really be fantastic,” said Karl Mullen, music curator at Hancock Shaker Village.

John Cohen, a widely recognized musicologist specializing in old-time folk music and a successful musician in his own right, will lead a film screening Friday night.

The Down Hill Strugglers, a Brooklyn-based, old-time string band and mentees to Cohen, will then headline the square dance on Saturday.

There will also be workshops led by the musicians in attendance, as well as band and instrument contests throughout the day before the convention comes to a close with a gospel performance Sunday.

Eli Smith plays the banjo and guitar for The Down Hill Strugglers. He believes that

The Down Hill Strugglers will perform this weekend at the Second Annual Northeast Fiddlers’ Convention at Hancock Shaker Village. old-time folk has as much of a place in today’s world than it did before.

“We live in a very alienating time for so many reasons.

The kind of down home, grassroots music we want to play and hear seems to offer an alternative vision of culture that feels good and right,” Smith said.

Avid guitar player Jim Wright — one of the three founders of Oldtone Productions and the annual Oldtone Roots Music Festival, which is held in Hillsdale, N.Y. — said he is excited to keep this “more Southern style fiddlers’ convention” going. On the strong partnership with Hancock Shaker Village, he said, “it really is a perfect setting for this kind of music.”

The Shakers’ ideals of communal living and sharing will extend to nearly every aspect of this convention. Aside from the workshops, where people with any level of experience can learn from professional musicians and bond over their love of old-time music, participation will be at the core of every event.

“It’s not necessarily a concert, it’s more of a gathering,” Wright said. “People can go up on the stage, they can bring their own instruments, and of course — square dance to their hearts’ content.” Mullen added that “the beautifully built barns

are perfect acoustically for this kind of music.”

Smith said that growing up in Greenwich Village greatly influenced his love for folk.

In the 1960s, the village was host to a folk revival with musicians such as Bob Dylan walking its streets.

“It was the music that spoke to me,” Smith said. “I picked up folk records lying around the house and instantly realized it was the human music I was looking for.

It does what music should do — and it hasn’t been distorted by the extreme pressure of the entertainment industry.”

His bandmate, Jackson Lynch, who plays the fiddle among other instruments, had a similar experience to Smith while he was growing up in the East Village. They connected through Cohen and added Walker Shepherd from Virginia to form their old-time string band.

“Old-time folk isn’t just limited to the South,” Smith said. “It really spans across all of rural America, from Appalachia to the Northeast.”

Folk music has greatly evolved, but its old-time variety still resonates with listeners who want to bask in the nostalgia and the warmth of the community it fosters.

“I like to think of it as old music in the new world,” Smith said. “And I’m very

A ‘rock star’ of the dinosaur world comes to the Berkshires

BY SHARON SMULLEN Eagle correspondent

Each year, paleontologist Jack Horner addresses thousands of fans and scientists in the U.S. and around the world. His TED talk has been seen by millions. Four dinosaurs are even named after him. And on Saturday, he’ll make a stop in the Berkshires.

Horner, who spent 30-plus years as curator of paleontology at Montana State University’s Museum of the Rockies, earning honorary degrees and awards including the MacArthur Fellowship, will speak at the West Stockbridge Old Town Hall, hosted by Shaker Dam Coffeehouse and West Stockbridge Historical Society, at 6:30 p.m., Saturday.

“As soon as the semester’s over, I go on the road lecturing,” said Horner, who currently teaches at Chapman University in Orange, Calif.

Horner has uncovered fossils in many locations, including Mongolia, Patagonia and Romania. Dinosaurs lived for 150 million years on every continent, he said. Each summer he returns to his native Montana — “the best place in the world” — with right-aged rock exposed and an abundance of fossils. He visits digs run by former students who are now professors.

Horner found his first fossil at 5 years old, a dinosaur bone at 8, skeleton at 13. His mother drove him wherever he wanted to go across Montana and into Canada. He later found one of the first dinosaur eggs in the Western Hemisphere near that early bone.

“I definitely feel I was born this way,” he said.

As uncovering a sauropod can take years — his largest measured 80 feet — Horner

prefers finding baby dinosaurs. “Thousands [fit] in a Ziplock bag,” he said.

In the 1950s and ‘60s, paleontologists lost interest in dinosaurs, regarding them as “big cold-blooded reptiles who wandered for billions of years looking for a place to go extinct,” he said.

His University of Montana professor told him to study mammal fossils like everyone else, but Horner said no, he was going to study dinosaurs.

Dyslexic, he failed to graduate, he said.

As he knew a lot about dinosaurs, Princeton University employed him in 1975 to collect and clean bones for professors. In 1978, Horner found a nest of baby dinosaurs, proving dinosaurs cared for their young. He named the species “Maiasaura” meaning “Good Mother Lizard.” His discovery made headlines around the world.

It was a turning point, he said.

“People realized dinosaurs were more like birds, warmblooded, very social animals,” he said.

Some “flat-earthers,” as he calls them, remain unconvinced animals share common ancestry. “People are conservative about change,” he said.

With professorial support, Horner published papers and won National Science Foundation grants — all without a degree. Even at Montana State University, he wasn’t allowed to teach.

After receiving the MacArthur Fellowship, however, “they said I could do whatever I wanted.” He raised millions of dollars for research.

When awarded an honorary University of Montana doctorate in 1986, the professor who hooded him had flunked him seven times as

an undergraduate, he said.

Even his father frowned on his many accomplishments until his favorite magazine, Time, profiled his son in 1990.

“After that he didn’t say anything more,” Horner recalled.

Horner was technical advisor to Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster “Jurassic Park” film series. While the dinosaur dig is modeled after Horner’s own camp, “virtually all the dinosaurs are wrong,” he said. “Meat-eating dinosaurs were feathered and very colorful. In 1993, we knew a lot less than we know now.”

Kim Hubbard, art and coffee curator at Stanmeyer Gallery and Shaker Dam Coffeehouse, invited Horner to the Berkshires and will celebrate the paleontologist’s birthday at a reception following the talk.

Since Hubbard — a former National Geographic, Audubon magazine and Obama White House photo editor — took the job at photographer John Stanmeyer’s coffeehouse and art gallery last spring, she has attracted toptier speakers through her extensive connections.

“It’s a rare opportunity to listen to one of the world’s foremost experts on dinosaurs,” she said. “He is larger than life, an honest-to-goodness rock star.”

She met Horner at a 2011 paleontology conference while working on a National Geographic story. They recently drove thousands of miles through Montana and Canada, visiting his major discovery sites.

“I sat in a dinosaur nest with eggshells everywhere,” she recalled, “it was unbelievable.”

Through July 15, she will exhibit 30 micrograph images of internal bone and teeth

structures photographed through a petrographic microscope, with jewel-toned colors identifying specific densities and tissues.

“They’re like abstract art,” she said, “all taken from Jack’s work.”

Hubbard credits a childhood dinosaur book with inspiring her professional curiosity. Homer finds children are fascinated by dinosaurs, even when scientists lose interest. ”They were really different kinds of animals than anything alive today — gigantic, the largest land animal — and they’re gone,” he said.

“They feed the imagination.”
