CLUBBING

Stone Coyotes, Peyton Pinkerton to play Montague

George Lenker

NE OF MY FAVORite bands, the Stone Coyotes, will be back in the area to play the Shea Theatre on Saturday.

But, I’m not here to tell you about them today. I’m pretty

sure everyone knows about the Coyotes and how good they are. Instead, I’m here to make sure you get there early enough to see the opening act, Peyton Pinkerton.

Pinkerton, a former member of Silver Jews, Pernice Brothers and his own seminal indie-rock band New Radiant Storm King, recently released “Ex Tomorrow,” his third solo album on Darla Records.

The record, although a bit sonically heavier than his two previous solo albums, is just as catchy and melodic. The record employs a satisfying blend of compelling riffs and delicious harmonies and create a bed for his lyrics, which are sometimes dark

but always honest and offer a perspective on the world we live in today. The eleven-track effort is solid all the way through, but check out my favorite tracks, the title song and the dreamy, somewhat Lennonesque “White Rhino.”

As usual. Pinkerton’s partner in rhyme and time is drummer/vocalist J.J. O’Connell, one of the area’s most propulsive percussionists.

“Ex Tomorrow “ also features bassist/vocalist Marc Seedorf, who joins the duo for the first time.

The Shea Theatre is located at 71 Avenue A in the Turners Falls section of Montague.

Scouting report • I’m a little early with this note, but since you have to register by Oct. 16, I figured I’d better give a heads-up to those who want to participate. The Toasted Owl in Northampton will once again hold its annual “Toasted Owl Gives a Hoot Halloween Fun Run” to benefit the Dakin Humane Society on Oct. 27.

The event, which starts at the 21 Main St. venue, can be done as either a 5K run or a 2K walk. As usual, there will be a post race party in the lot with

The Stone Coyotes will perform Saturday at Shea Theatre in the Turners Falls section of Montague.

burgers (meat and veggie), hot cider and pumpkin pie. Dogs are welcome (and usually plentiful) and there will be prizes for the participants with the best costumes.

• Nerd Nite Northampton on Oct. 7 will feature one talk on the genetics of trauma and a second presentation on climate change. The cover is $5 and the event starts at 7 p.m. at The Deuce at 50 Conz St. • Jon Carroll, who some of

you may know as the main sideman for Mary Chaplin Carpenter for many years, will play a solo show at Luthier’s Co-op tonight. The venue is at 108 Cottage St. in Easthampton.

Do you have a cool event coming up at a local club? Send me a note about it at least two weeks in advance to geolenker@ yahoo.com and I’ll try to get it in this space.

Peyton Pinkerton, who recently released his third solo album “Ex Tomorrow,” will open for the Stone Coyotes Saturday at Shea Theatre in the Turners Falls section of Montague.

ON THE COVER

Graham Nash wants to repay fans Singer-songwriter talks new music, politics and CSN&Y before Northampton show

E

By Matt Berg

Special to The Republican

nglish singer-songwriter Graham Nash has influenced the music industry in a way that few others have, with a career spanning over 50 years with various different groups, wasting no time on the way while carving his own route through the music industry.

While on tour as a leading member of The Hollies in 1966, Nash met future bandmates David Crosby and Stephen Stills. The trio later formed folk-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash, which featured Neil Young for a period of time.

Together, the group pioneered folk music for decades, recognized by their trademark harmonies and artful lyricism.

As a prolific songwriter for both bands, Nash penned dozens of hits from the 1960s to the ’80s, mainly influenced by his political activism and friendships with fellow musicians. For The Hollies, he wrote “Stop Stop Stop,” “On A Carousel” and “Carrie Anne.” For CSN, he wrote “Our House,” “Teach Your Children” and “Wasted on the Way.” From his friendship with Joni Mitchell to his hatred for nuclear weapons, Nash’s personal touch to his lyrics was always apparent.

He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with CSN in 1997 and again with The Hollies in 2010. For his work in CSN and his solo career, he was twice inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Now 77 years old, Nash continues his musical career, releasing his sixth solo album “This Path Tonight” in 2016. His North American tour began on Sept. 20, and will make a stop at the Academy of Music in Northampton tomorrow.

In a recent interview with The Republican, Nash discussed his songwriting tricks, his most memorable fan experiences, his relationship with David Crosby, and his pick for the 2020 presidential race.

Q. “This Path Tonight” was your

first new music released in 14 years.

What have you been up to?

A.

I was a busy boy in those 14 years. I made my box set of three CDs, I did Stephen Stills’ box set of four CDs, I did David Crosby’s box set of three CDs, I did the demo album, I did the Greatest Hits of Crosby, Stills & Nash.

I was a busy boy.

Q. How is

being solo compared to working with groups?

Do you enjoy it more?

A.

I’m enjoying it more as a matter of fact. I’ve always been a willing member of a band. I like being in a band, but this solo stuff is very interesting.

I get to play songs I’ve never done and I’m in control of the music of the evening. I want my audience to know several things. First of all, I want them to know that I want to be there.

I’m not going to sing fast — I’m going to do it as best I can. If I can repay them for their hard-earned money that they spent to come and see me,

Festival showcases Conway’s community

By CORI URBAN

Special to The Republican

The upcoming Festival of Hills is a “showcase” of the people of Conway and the surrounding area, and it is set to take place on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the town field in the historic community center.

The festival includes the Covered Bridge Classic road race and a kids’ 1.7-mile Fun Run. “Conway is set in a very beautiful area of New England. The Festival of Hills is a showcase of both the people of the town and the surrounding area,” says Susan J. MacDonald, event -co-chairman, treasurer and publicity coordinator. “The festival is a tradition for Conway. It brings current residents together, but it also draws people who have

moved away. We have a great pride in our town, and this is our showcase.”

She adds, “We want to show you how special our town is and how diverse our people are in both their interests and their talent.”

The festival – now in its 57th year – is recognized as a Library of Congress “Local Legacy” in Western Massachusetts. It is an all-volunteer event that raises scholarship money for the town’s high school graduates.

It features exhibits, live music, a craft fair, blacksmithing, weaving, food vendors, local products, a log-splitting contest and skillet toss plus freshly-pressed cider and fried dough with maple cream.

There are many free activities for children and youth.

In addition to the festival on Sunday, there is a full week-

end of activities including art exhibits, a book sale and a turkey dinner.

The fee for the 10K Covered Bridge Classic road race is $20. There will be fun, local prizes in eight divisions.

food and the time to join family, friends, and all those who love the Italian traditions,” said Regina, co-chairman for public relations for the event.

“The Taste of Italy provides an opportunity to celebrate the Italian heritage and to be part of an activity that supports the many services of the church for the parishioners and the community.”

All the proceeds will continue to support the new parish center and activities there; the center is adjacent to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and is the site for parish events like religious education classes, special holiday celebrations and parish club activities.

In addition to the main dishes to be served, the Taste of Italy will feature a stagelength table of homemade desserts. “Pastry is huuuge,” emphasized Linda A. Tammi, co-chairman for public relations. “The biggest problem is trying to choose.”

There are plates of mixed Italian cookies, cake and some special treats usually made only at holidays. Tammi’s favorites are the finger-sized chocolate eclairs and cannoli.

“And that cappucino from La Fiorentina — I just have to have it! It makes the pastries all that much tastier.”

There also will be wine, soft drinks and Italian ice. There will be cash and merchandise raffles, and Italian music.

Tammi said the event is “a great opportunity, of course, (to eat) the homemade Italian dishes, but also for the chance to see everyone in the parish and others from the Italian community.”

Hollies had any songs that we hadn’t recorded, and we did.

We had about 12, so we went down to the hotel where they were staying and played them these songs, and they wanted to do seven of them. We went into the studio with the Everly Brothers and a couple of session musicians. There was Reggie Dwight on piano, Jimmy Page on guitar and John Paul Jones on bass.

I’m very grateful. And if I see them smiling on the way out of a concert, I’ve done my job.

Q. Do you have a favorite or least favorite song to perform live?

A.

I have no least favorite or else I wouldn’t sing them, but I sure do have a lot of songs I need to sing — I’ve written over 250 songs. The set list is very flexible, but we do have a skeleton of what I want to do.

I always want to finish with ‘Teach Your Children’; I think it’s a great vibe to leave people with. I also talk to the audience a lot because if you’re a fan of music but you don’t write music, the art of songwriting is quite mysterious.

People want to know, ‘What were you thinking when you wrote ‘Immigration Man, or ‘Just a Song Before I Go,’ or ‘Wasted on the Way?’ I tell them, and they love it.

“We collaborate with the Downtown Northampton Association, and involve merchants, venue owners and managers, and city officials in our planning,” Griggs explained. “In doing so, the festival has become a community effort that benefits all involved, including the city’s merchants, who saw an uptick in business last year.”

The 2018 festival was a hit, attracting more than 2,000 people from across Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Connecticut to see shows by local, regional and internationally recognized musicians while also enjoying the shops, galleries and restaurants of Northampton.

“Our goal is not only to expand the love of live jazz music to people of all ages and backgrounds, but also to bring tourists and business to the city through a unique event that only Northampton, with its highly walkable, accessible streets and welcoming merchants, could hold,” Griggs said. “With the 2018 opening of MGM Springfield, we are determined to produce unique, cultural and highly accessible events for thousands to enjoy, keeping Northampton a popular destination.”

Since its beginnings in 2011, the goal of Northampton Jazz Festival organizers has been to expand the exposure of people of all generations, ethnicities and orientations to live jazz while also attracting new visitors to Northampton, benefiting both the city’s economy and culture.

“Residents, downtown merchants, city legislators and visitors have expressed a desire to bring live music to downtown Northampton,” said Ruth Griggs, president of the Northampton Jazz Festival. “The festival offers a positive, upbeat, family-friendly and accessible opportunity for the general public to experience the joy of live music performed by everyone from Grammy Award winners like Kurt Elling to local jazz musicians and dynamic rising stars.”

This year’s festival will begin with the Friday Jazz Strut, when guests can stroll to and from eight different breweries, cafes and bars in downtown Northampton, where live jazz musicians will be performing between 5 and 11 p.m. There will be no cover charge for any of the Friday shows, which will be offered at Pulaski Park, Iconica Social Club, Haymarket Café, Northampton Brewery, Platform Sports Bar, Progression Brewery and McLadden’s.

Saturday, the primary day of festivities, includes free performances at Northampton Center for the Arts, CLICK Workspace, the Unitarian

Society of Northampton, The Parlor Room and Pulaski Park between noon and 6:30 p.m.

Musicians include the Native Soul Quartet, solo pianist Emmet Cohen, rising bass player Endea Owens and the Cookout, the Jack Wilkins Trio with Mike Clark and Essiet Essiet, and Ed Fast & Conga Bop. The afternoon of performances builds up to the main stage act, the Kurt Elling Quintet, at the Academy of Music, 274 Main St., at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $27.50 to $47.50, and can be purchased online at aomtheatre.com.

The quintet’s lead, Grammy winner Elling, is a master jazz vocalist who performs timeless standards as well as enthralling originals.

The three days of events culminate with the Sunday Jazz Brunch at the Delaney House, 3 Country Club Road in Holyoke, starting at 11 a.m.

Proceeds from the brunch, which features the Atla and Matt DeChamplain Quintet from noon to 2 p.m., will benefit the Davis Financial Group Jazz Artists in the Schools Program, which exposes Northampton’s John F. Kennedy Middle School jazz student musicians to mentoring by professional jazz artists.

While the goal of promoting jazz music while attracting visitors to Northampton has been steadfast since the festival’s beginnings, a lot has changed since it was first founded in 2011 by John Michaels, Jeff Siegel, Jesse Adams, William Collins and Rick Gifford. The original model, between 2011 and 2015, was to stage the festival behind Thornes Marketplace in a parking lot using a built stage, a beer garden and food trucks and vendors. Two other indoor locations hosted student musicians and more performers set up on the courthouse lawn.

After a hiatus, the Northampton Jazz Festival was revived by new organizers in 2018, but with a new style, with performances hosted by community venues across the

Gypsy Apple Bistro makes visiting Shelburne Falls even more memorable

NE OF NEW ENgland’s most visually appealing locales, Shelburne Falls supports several noteworthy restaurants; among those is Gypsy Apple Bistro.

Doing business out of a Bridge Street storefront, the restaurant’s cozy dining area has a decorative character suggestive of Belle Epoch France; during the warm weather months the restaurant expands its capacity by way of a small walled patio.

Chef-owner Michelangelo Wescott, whose kitchen is not much larger than a walk-in closet, focuses his efforts on a compact list of offerings.

A plant-forward effort is always on the kitchen’s agenda; Swiss Chard Stuffed with Lentils, Rice, and Vegetables ($23) was the vegetarian selection the evening we visited.

A bistro-inspired Rack of Lamb ($30) is typically available, as is a Filet Mignon ($32) finished with a mushroom-red wine pan sauce.

Starter options include the likes of Mushrooms and Brie on Rye Toast ($12), Mussels ($13) steamed in white wine and herbs, and Gnocchi Bolognese ($14) with peas and shaved parmesan.

In addition to appetizers, the kitchen prepares a nightly soup selection.

The evening we visited a Mediterranean Seafood Soup ($8) took its inspiration from bouillabaisse drawing its flavor identity from tomato, tarragon, and saffron. Served in an individual tureen, the seafood soup came with a ramekin of grated Swiss cheese; two crostini dolloped with a high-potency aioli offered a Provencal-style garlic note.

Server Julianna Stevens decants a bottle of wine for guests at Gypsy Apple Bistro. (DON TREEGER / THE REPUBLICAN)

We found that spooning the grated cheese in the soup thickened it a bit, thus making it more substantial.

Though now everyday fare, chicken was once a special occasion treat, and the Pan Roasted Free Range Chicken Breast ($26) at Gypsy Apple suggests

why that was so. The wing-on breast had been pan-roasted to perfection — lightly crisped skin and pleasingly juicy flesh, while a judiciously applied seasoning added harmonious flavor contrast.

of sweet corn served as the understory on which the chicken was presented, while a glossy vinaigrette flavored with tomato dialed up still more flavor. A rainbow assortment of cherry tomatoes and matchstick bits of crisped Tasso ham were arranged to beautify the plate’s landscape.

S AN HOMAGE TO sportswriter Garry Brown’s popular “Hitting to All Fields” column, which has appeared in The Republican for as long as I can recall, I’ve decided to institute an occasional feature for this column called “Cleaning the Tap Lines.”

As beer lovers know, a bar has to keep its tap lines clean to ensure the beer is optimally served. So to serve up smaller nuggets that accumulate on my virtual desk, I will occasionally write a column like this. Like Gary’s wonderful column, it will be composed of quick-hit thoughts, observations and smaller pieces of brew news.

So without further ado, here’s the first edition of it: • Thanks to the brewery’s general manager, Jason Hunter, I was able to sample the new Loophole Brewery’s fest beer.

If this is any indication of what kind of quality we can expect, the brewery will be a welcome and fantastic addition to the local beer scene.

• Speaking of fest beers, lots of great Oktoberfest brews out there right now including classics such as Weihenstephaner Festbier and Ayinger Oktoberfest. Sierra Grille also has the Sierra Nevada/Bitburger Oktoberfest collaboration.

• In other Octoberfest news, The Fort in Springfield will hold its Mighty Oktoberfest event Saturday through Sunday. Fort

Street will be closed for two days of Oktoberfest, which will feature live bands, food, a kid’s day, and a beer garden. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Shriners Hospital for Children of Springfield.

• One of my favorite seasonals, Building 8 Brewing Ladybug – a hoppy red ale with a solid malt presence – is back and tasty as ever. Also, if you get a chance, the most recent addition of The IPA from Building 8 is fantastic.

• Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Dogfish Head Distilling Co. have released two new offerings: Suddenly Comfy, an imperial cream ale that claims to remind you of freshly-baked apple pie, and Alternate Takes: Volume 2, a whiskey finished in Palo Santo Marron Ale Barrels. I’m not a big apple pie fan, but I’d give the brew a shot, and would definitely be up for a few glasses of the whiskey.

• Bear Republic has released the latest brew in its Challenge Series: Challenge Series #10, Myrcene IPA that clocks in at 6.8% alcohol by volume. The Challenge Series lineup is made up of fresh takes on trending ale styles, and each is only brewed once.

And finally ...

• Although I’m all for growth in craft beer, I have to admit that when I see a large building up for sale or rent in Northampton, where I live, I now (kind of) hope that no one puts a brewery in it.

We have four, two downtown and two in Florence (along with Brewmaster Jack, which contract brews elsewhere), and I don’t think we need as many breweries as we have yoga studios.

Plus, other communities are still waiting for their first one.

This hearty wine is definitely a food wine and has more body than most other sauvignon blancs.

After being open for an hour or so, the wine’s flavors mellow out a bit, but not too much. If you’re an adventurous wine drinker who enjoys spicier foods, you’ll love this distinct, delicious sauvignon blanc.

EARCHING FOR something different when it comes to affordable, flavorful white wines?

Head to South America.

Sure, countries like Chile and Argentina are better known for their robust, full-bodied red wines, particularly when it comes to Malbecs from Argentina and Cabernet Sauvignons from Chile.

But you can also find many outstanding, affordable white wines in both countries.

So after writing about California chardonnays worth splurging on last week, I figured now was a great time to highlight more affordable white wines. Some of these wines are chardonnays as well. But a few of them feature other, popular grapes, including sauvignon blanc.

Tasting chardonnays from California and then South America back to back, I was struck by the differences and similarities between the wines from these two regions. In general, most of the white wines from South America were much drier than similarly priced wines from California. Many of the South American wines also had a more pronounced mineral-like quality which I absolutely love.

So if you prefer your white wines on the drier, flintier side and are looking for a bargain, all seven of these wines should have you jumping for joy. Let me add that you can likely expect to read about a few of them on my annual Top 10 Wines Under $10 roundup at the end of the year. They’re that good and worth searching for this fall or anytime of year. Hope you agree.

reading the label wrong. But sure enough, this distinct, dry white wine is made with pedro ximenez grapes, a grape more commonly associated with a sweeter, Spanish dessert wine.
