Cheryl Arena bringing the blues to Theodores’

L

IMOUSINE DRIVERS often have plenty of downtime while waiting for clients, and former limo chauffeur Cheryl Arena put that time to good use by practicing the harmonica.

Arena spent four years at that job and in the process turned herself into one of the best blues harp players in the Boston scene. She brings her talents as a player, singer and songwriter to the Theodores’ stage tomorrow.

Arena was steeped in music from the start: Some of her earliest childhood memories were listening and singing along with her mother’s Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday records. But along with developing her vocal talents, Arena also wanted play an instrument. So at age 8 her grandmother set her up with accordion lessons, which then later led to her learning guitar and bass guitar, and eventually the one instrument she fell in love with: the harmonica.

Beyoncé. (JOEL C. RYAN / INVISION)

//

Beyoncé flexes both her musicianship and her cultural leverage with “The Lion King: The Gift,” her companion album to the state-of-the-art remake of “The Lion King.” It’s her latest lesson in commandeering mass-market expectations, as she bends “The Lion King” to her own agenda of African-diaspora unity, selfworth, parental responsibility and righteous ambition.

Beyoncé was an obvious choice to be cast in an anointed blockbuster: the 25th-anniversary update of “The Lion King,” the 1994 animated Disney parable set in Africa. Its story of a young lion fleeing and then reclaiming his birthright had already generated a 1997 Broadway adaptation – still running – and movie sequels.

Beyoncé has a voice role in the new version as the brave, conscientious lioness Nala; she

Max Martin’s Swedish songwriting stable; it’s also on “The Gift.”

But “The Gift” (Parkwood/ Columbia) goes much further.

With Beyoncé as executive producer and a songwriter and performer on most of its tracks, it’s essentially an alternative soundtrack album, tied to the plot of “The Lion King” (and interspersed with dialogue snippets) but decidedly more Afrocentric and more attuned to women’s strengths and experiences.

On “The Gift,” the movie’s plot points are springboards for songs like “Keys to the Kingdom,” “Scar” and “Already.”

5 things to know about Lyle Lovett Singer, actor to play show at Look Park tomorrow

T

By Chris Dondoros

Special to The Republican

he gold records. The film and television appearances. The hair. Chances are you know Lyle Lovett for one reason or another.

With Lovett’s stop at Look Park’s Pines Theater tomorrow quickly approaching, here are five facts to know about the singer, actor and consummate storyteller.

1. Technically speaking,

his career as an actor predates his career in music.

Lovett started to make waves as a songwriter in the early 1980s, winning the Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk competition in 1982. But long before his eponymous debut album would blur the lines between singer-songwriter, folk and country – and even before his 1984 demo tape and appearances singing backup for Nanci Griffith – Lovett had a small film role to his credit, appearing in 1983 made-for-television film “Bill: On His Own.” His first role was the appropriately named “Singer at Beach.”

A decade later, Lovett would return to acting in a greater capacity, securing memorable roles in television shows such as “Mad About You” and films such as “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and “The Opposite of Sex.”

IF YOU GO Event: An Evening with Lyle Lovett and his Large Band When: Tomorrow, 7 p.m.

Doors open at 5 p.m Where: Pines Theater at Look Park in Northampton Tickets: Start at $49.50; available at dspshows. com/event/1836697evening-lyle-lovett-hisnorthampton/.

University, where he graduated in 1980 with dual degrees in Journalism and German.

Lovett’s ties to Texas A&M University would also serve as a catalyst for his music career, too, oftentimes playing solo acoustic sets at bars close to the campus in the early 1980s.

5. He lost material in the

now-infamous 2008 Universal fire.

Details around 2008’s Universal Studios fire have come to light in recent weeks, revealing that countless Lyle Lovett performs onstage during George Strait’s Hand in Hand Texas benefit concert on artists – from Eric Clapton, Sept. 12, 2017 in San Antonio, Texas.

NORTH ADAMS

LOUD Weekend planned at MASS MoCA Bang on a Can marathon concert has expanded into 3-day festival

By Clifton Noble Jr.

Special to The Republican

In 1987, composers David Lang, Julia Wolfe and

Michael Gordon imagined a new kind of concert experience to feature little-known music that defied categorization. That new concept – a marathon concert of experimental and new music in an art gallery – became Bang on a Can. This year, the traditional Bang on a Can marathon

concert has exploded into a three-day festival of music that knows no boundaries, taking place tomorrow through Sunday at MASS MoCA in North Adams, called LOUD Weekend.

“There is so much music that we want to present that one concert isn’t enough anymore, even if it is super

venues throughout MASS MoCA from tomorrow, 4 p.m. to midnight; Saturday, noon to 1 a.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Among the myriad events are performances by the Sun Ra Arkestra, Dither, Horse Lords, Pamela Z, music by Brian Eno, Hans Abraham-

celebration of their luxurious life, transforms a sample from Malian singer and songwriter Oumou Sangaré.

Some of the album’s guest performers have racked up tens of millions of streams worldwide without extensive recognition – yet – in the U.S. Prominent among them is a Nigerian contingent that draws on the crisp, computerized rhythms that are known internationally as Afrobeats (and are clearly related to reggaeton’s ubiquitous dembow rhythm via West African-Caribbean roots and internet cross-pollination).

The album includes Nigerian stars Burna Boy (who gets a song of his own, “Ja Ara E,” that suavely warns, “Watch out for them hyenas”) and Mr Eazi

(who shares “Don’t Jealous Me” with Tekno, Lord Afrixana and Yemi Alade and “Keys to the Kingdom” with Tiwa Savage, all fellow Nigerians). Wizkid, the Nigerian songwriter who collaborated with Drake on the worldwide hit “One Dance,” duets with Beyoncé to praise the beauty of a “Brown Skin Girl”; the track also has the voice of Beyoncé’s and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

Each song on “The Gift” is a coalition, almost always a trans-Atlantic one. And the African elements are at the core of the music; they’re not souvenirs or accessories. Unlike the movie that occasioned it, “The Lion King: The Gift” is no remake or reiteration, no faraway fable. It tells a story of its own.

Haywood said that the band’s residency at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas not only has allowed “Lady A,” as they’re known to fans, to connect with the audience. It has also allowed them to fine-tune their current live show exactly to their liking.

“What we were doing at the Palms, it allowed us the right to take 30 minutes to grab an acoustic guitar and a piano and find some special moments.

VIDEO GAME REVIEW

‘Three Houses’ is fun - if you have the time

By Christopher Byrd

The Washington Post

“Lament your weakness,” says my wyvern-rider after lancing a knight to death. His words capture a great deal of my feelings toward both “Fire Emblem: The Three Houses” and the Fire Emblem series in general.

I am indifferent to the fantasy/anime tropes the games revels in, but I am easily roped in by their turn-based gameplay.

Imagine a “Sword & Sorcery” virtual board game where the pieces evolve over time and develop and destroy relationships among themselves. Then imagine that the tiled boards on which they confront their opponents change over battles requiring different approaches to various scenarios. If ever there was a series that I like despite myself, it’s this one.

In the “Three Houses,” players take on the role of Byleth – or whatever name a player may wish to substitute – a young mercenary who works alongside his father, Jeralt. (The game also allows you to select the hero’s gender at the start.)

On the eve of departing on an assignment, two young men and a young woman turn up at their door requesting help. The strangers tell them that their camp was attacked by bandits who are now pursuing them.

Jeralt agrees to assist and appears to recognize the uniforms that the young people are wearing, but before he can confirm his suspicions his attention is

N THE WORLD OF dining out, midsummer can be a time for good deals. In great restaurant cities like Boston and New York City, July and August are the height of the summer restaurant week season.

One of the industry’s most popular promotional strategies, the restaurant week concept was born in 1992, the brain child of Tim Zagat of Zagat Surveys fame and the late Joe Baum, the legendary New York City restaurant magnate. The two developed the idea to capture business from the Democratic National Convention, which was being held in New York City that August. That first Restaurant Week, however, appealed to local residents as well as those visiting the Big Apple to practice politics, and the week became an annual tradition as well as a promotional strategy subsequently replicated around the world.

Restaurant weeks are typically scheduled to build business during slow times of the year. In major metropolitan areas this often means the summer months, while restaurant communities like those on Cape Cod plan them for “off-season.”

Perhaps the largest of restaurant week promotions is California Restaurant Month, an every-January extravaganza organized by Visit California, the state’s destination marketing nonprofit. Specific regions, such as Napa Valley, piggyback on the statewide promotion and establish separate weeks of their own within California Restaurant Month.

The idea has spread to Europe as well, where cities like London and Amsterdam have developed their own variations on the restaurant week theme.

Here in the Northeast, two major restaurant week events are part of the late summer calendar.

This summer’s New York Restaurant Week is current-

Crepes Tea House brings Eastern European dining to West Springfield

T

HEY HAD ME AT crepes and tea. But Crepes Tea House in West Springfield is so much more. For nearly a decade the cafe has offered diners a vast array of traditional Eastern European foods made from generations-old recipes and served up by friendly staff in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

We had grappled with which meal to eat at the Tea House given that the extensive, colorful online menus offered up enticing options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When we arrived at dinnertime we were thrilled to find that everything on the menu is available all day long.

The tea menu alone outlines over 100 options, with varieties categorized by type of tea: Black, White, Green, Red, Oolong and Herbal. My guest added just a smidge of honey to his piping hot cup of Cinnamon Spice Chai and thoroughly enjoyed the spicy-sweet flavor profile. My strong black Rose Congou Tea needed nothing to enhance the natural floral sweetness of the rose petals.

All teas are available served hot by the cup or pot with prices beginning at $2.55. Loose tea can also be purchased to

take home with prices ranging from $20.70 per pound for Gunpowder Green Tea to $151.80 for the prized Phoenix Mountain Oolong tea.

At our request the server adeptly directed us toward the most popular of the specialties of the house as we set out to experience the menu beyond crepes and tea. She assisted us in choosing several small dishes along with a large dish to share, and of course a crepe!

Chiburekki lists alongside Waffles and Oatmeal (all $5.45) in the breakfast area of the menu, but it is a traditional deep-fried turnover that can be enjoyed anytime. We ordered ours with Beef and enjoyed the thin, crisply-fried crust stuffed with a similarly thin slice of beef that was well-seasoned and oniony.

We dipped it in the cool sour cream dill sauce that accompanies many of the menu items but also found it perfectly satisfying on its own.

Other breakfast items of note include latke-like Potato, Zucchini, Squash and Beet Pancakes (6 for $10.95), as well as savory Stuffed Pancakes in Beef, Chicken, or Tuna (6 for $13.15). Listed as a Stuffed Potato Ball ($4.35 each), the pan-fried, mashed potato pancake we ordered

came with our filling choice of veggies on the side rather than inside as the name implied, but we could not fault either the buttery fried potato purée or the side of mixed, sautéed vegetables. And the creamy mushroom sauce that accompanied it was divinely rich and earthly.

The Tea House features no less than six soups on any given day, and we were steered toward the Mercimek Vegetable Soup. The kitchen split our small soup ($7.20) into two bowls each larger than a standard cup of soup.

We appreciated the attention to detail in the slices of

freshly baked rye bread and the parsley sprinkled atop the soup. We found that a squeeze of the hefty wedge of lemon that came with the dish truly served to brighten the puréed, chickpea-based soup.

Two kinds of dumplings are handmade at the cafe: Pierogi-like Vareniki and the Russian specialty Pelmeni.

Vareniki are available stuffed with savory fillings such as Farm Cheese, Potato, Cabbage, Cabbage & Bacon, and Salmon & Mashed Potato; or sweet fillings in the form of Cherry or Farm Cheese (all dumplings are $13.15).

Pelmeni Dumplings are

offered with either Beef or Chicken, and when we failed to swiftly decide we were graciously offered a combination of both. We opted for the optional Mushrooms and Onions atop our Pelmeni, and ate every last one of the hand-formed, potsticker-like packets along with every last bite of the buttery mushroom and onion saute.

Crepes come in three categories – breakfast, savory, and sweet – and are primarily of the design your own sort with no less than sixty filling options leading to innumerable combinations. Savory crepes start with a base of proteins from Chicken Breast, Pork or Beef ($7.65 for a small, $10.40 for a large) to Salmon, White Fish or Shrimp ($9.30 for a small, SEE CREPES, PAGE E16

‘Lost’ wine column features outstanding Italian red wine under $10

Cheers! ...

The best laid plans often involve ditching a well-thoughtout plan altogether and playing everything by ear. At least, that’s what I have heard.

I know my wife certainly feels this way. The fewer things we plan, the happier she often seems.

But I’m not wired that way.

Don’t get me wrong. When it comes to wine, for example, I love being surprised by something unexpected. But I often plan which wines I will review for this column weeks ahead of time, so I’m not always flying by the seat of my pants and reviewing whatever happens to cross my desk that day.

Actually, that’s not completely true. I may be deliberate when it comes to wine, but I’m all for dropping everything for certain things.

Blizzard’s on it’s way? Let’s pack up the truck and head to Stowe or Bromley or another ski mountain I love for fresh powder.

And I’ll never forget the

first time I went to Barcelona. I was a junior in college, studying abroad in England for the year. I went to Barce-

lona near the end of my break in between semesters. I was only supposed to stay 2 or 3 days. I ended up staying for at least a week in this spellbinding Spanish city, missing the whole first week of classes my final semester.

That’s why I’m all in favor (in theory) of going off the rails once in a while, to try something unexpected and be amazed by what you’ve discovered.

That’s sort of how I felt when someone at Provisions in Northampton recently recommended a wine. I went into the store specifically to help pick out wines for a friend’s party. I wasn’t there on an expedition in search of new wines to taste. Those trips to the liquor store can often be methodical, deliberate. “I wrote about wines from that region two weeks ago,” I

Ken Ross Wine Press

might think to myself. “Can’t write about wines from there either.” Been there, done that.

And when the store clerk asked me if I needed any help finding any wine, I confidently said I was all set. Then, as I was about to leave the store, the same employee at Provisions really recommended a wine that he said they couldn’t keep on the shelves, that customers loved and kept coming back for more.

At that point, I knew I would be foolish to not try the wine. A few days later, when I opened the wine, I understood what all the fuss was SEE WINE, PAGE E19

LEANING OUT THE attic, going through an old desk drawer — it’s amazing what we find sometimes when we finally get around to going through these forgotten places from time to time.

Handwritten letters (remember those?) from old friends we haven’t thought about in years.

Old, fading photographs from vacations taken long ago.

Tickets stubs from concerts or movies that seem like distant, forgotten dreams.

The same sort of thing happened to me when I went through a bunch of old emails.

I’m terrible when it comes to emails. I’m one of those people that has a hard time throwing things away, whether they’re real or electronic.

You should see my study at home. And my inbox is no different. I have nearly 19,000 emails squirreled away in there. And that’s just in my personal email account.

So it should come as no surprise that I came across this wine column in the draft section of my personal email account. I started writing this particular wine column several years ago, then forgot about it. (Wonder why.) Then I started reading through it this week and thought, this isn’t half bad.

Let me add that I recommended this week’s wine - 2014 Luccarelli Puglia Primitivo - in a previous wine column in June 2016. But that wine column is nothing like the one I found below.

And while the 2014 vintage for the Luccarelli Puglia Primitivo probably isn’t available for sale anymore in most stores, I highly recommend searching for a more recent vintage of this outstanding red wine, which normally sells for around $10 a bottle.

Art of Brewing on display at Norman Rockwell Museum

N

ORMAN ROCKwell wasn’t known for his beer art, instead being renowned for his folksy depictions of simple American life and scenarios.

However, the legendary artists dipped his brush into the beer barrel at least twice, as far as we know.

The first is an advertisement for Schmidt’s Beer in the 1930s, where the beer itself is only subtly included: A case of the beer sits next to an outdoor table where a group of men are playing cards and drinking brews.

The second illustration is one that was seemingly never used either in a formal work or as an advertisement. Simply titled “Man with Sandwich and Glass of Beer,” the work displays exactly what is described in the title. The “man” also has a vague similarity to Rockwell himself, although it’s certainly not on the level of his self-portraits.

Beer note Pabst Blue Ribbon, one of the nation’s oldest breweries, has joined the java age with its latest offering, hard coffee. The company creates the caffeinated concoction by brewing a malt beverage, neutralizing the flavor then mixing it with a blend of coffee, sugar, milk and vanilla.

It’s not available in Massachusetts yet, and since I like my beer to taste like beer and my coffee to taste like coffee, I’m OK with that. I mean, I wish PBR well with its venture, but some things are sacred in my world.

about.

The wine is the 2014 Luccarelli Puglia Primitivo.

And while you might not have heard of Primitivo before, you have probably had wine made with these grapes. That’s because we call the Primitivo grape in this country Zinfandel, one of the most misunderstood and overlooked grapes in the world.

This full-bodied, fruit-forward red wine is not something I would cellar for months or years. Like a Beaujolais, this wine should be enjoyed right away. Some people might think that makes this wine less important than age-worthy wines.

Nothing could be further than the truth in my mind.

Sure, there’s definitely something to be said savoring older, more complex wine that evolve slowly over hours or even years at glacial speed.

But so many parts of our lives are so predictable, so rigid.

So try something completely different this week. And I’m not just talking about wine.

Put on a different radio station on in your car.

Read a book you never read before.

Eat something completely new.

Because as I think back on that magical week in Barcelona more than twenty years ago, I’m not thinking about the classes I missed. Because more than two decades later, I can’t even remember what classes they were. But I’ll never forget Barcelona and just playing every day by ear.

And thankfully, I found someone along the way who feels that way and pushes me do the same. That’s why I’m so glad I married her, four years ago this month. (Make that seven years and two months now and counting.)

Cheers!

AUGUST EVENTS Berkshire Museum 39 South St, PittsďŹ eld, MA 01201 413-443-7171 berkshiremuseum.org WordXWord: Poets Creating Conversation News in America Monday, July 29, 7 pm Free and open to the community.

[Mis]information is raining down 24/7. Poets help us sort it out or – perhaps – just make matters worse. We’re deďŹ nitely not fact checking this.

By sharing personal stories, observations, moments of inspiration, and hope, we look to create a broad poetic tapestry with a goal that the resulting “conversationâ€? between creative voices will make us stronger and help us ďŹ nd a way forward.
