Part of Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversa-

ry celebration included rerunning the debutepisode from 1975. Their rst musical guest wasthe legendary Janis Ian, performing her smashsingle, “At Seventeen.” It was then, and remainsstill, a profound revelation of a song that even to-day moves listeners to tears, earning Ian her rstGrammy.

Born in 1951, Ian entered the music world at theage of 13; writing the classic song, “Society’sChild,” about a forbidden racial romance. Her1975 album, Between the Lines, which featuredthe single, “At Seventeen,” would sell millionsand have Rolling Stone magazine call it one of thebest albums of the ’70s and one of 40 albums ev-ery baby boomer must own.

Over the next several decades, Ian has continuedto write and perform, and her music has beencovered by singers like Nina Simone, Cher, BetteMidler and Roberta Flack. In addition to her musiccareer, she is also a columnist for the Advocatemagazine, a science ction author, and creator ofthe Pearl Foundation, which in honor of her ownmother provides scholarships to older citizenslooking to nish their education.

In 2013, Ian was again awarded a Grammy, thistime for Best Spoken Word Album for her auto-biography, Society’s Child. Ian will bring her folkand pop music to The Center for the Arts in Grass

Valley on April 24, performing with fellow sing-er-songwriter Tom Paxton.

You grew up in a Jewish family in New YorkCity, in a culture with a rich history of music.How do you think that helped inform your musical taste and writing?

“I think that culturally, being raised on stories ofthe Maccabees and the book A Treasury of JewishFolklore probably inuenced me morally and eth-ically – but not my musical taste.”

Your very frst single, “Society’s Child,” ad- dressed inter-racial romance. Why did you feelcompelled to write the song at such an early ageand were you surprised by the violent outrageincluding the burning of an Atlanta radio station?

time – most of the population was black. It wasalso the height of the civil rights era. I saw it hap-pening around me, and wrote about it because ofthat. Violence always surprises me.”“At Seventeen” became a worldwide sensa - tion, earning you a Grammy and becoming aclassic in pop music. Did you have any idea thesong would strike such a chord with listeners?

“You always hope to hit the universal. When youdo, it’s humbling and astonishing all at once!”

There was a several year absence from music

in the ’80s and early ’90s. When you nally re- emerged you did so as both an indie artist anda lesbian. Both strike me as taking control of

your music and your identity. But why the gapin recording?

“I’d spent 10 years making an album a year, writ-ing and recording and arranging and sometimesproducing it, then touring behind it for eight to 10months. It was ruining my writing.”

What changed that you decided to come outpublicly?

“I was out publicly most of my life, but I alwaysthought love was the important thing, not gender.So when I fell in love with – and married – a man, alot of people forgot what had gone before.”

How has being out changed your career if it all?

“I’m not sure. I don’t mean to be coy or snide, but

I wouldn’t know, would I?”You were on the rst episode of Saturday NightLive. What do you recall from that week?

“Sadly, I wasn’t there all week – I was only therefor the last day. I was on a heavy touring schedule,and if memory serves, NBC loaned me their planeto make sure I got to the studio in time for onerehearsal. I do remember the Muppets, and AndyKaufman was very sweet. And George Carlin was

amazing.”How has your writing changed and evolvedover the years?

“Wow. That’s a huge question. It’s tighter. Moreconsistent. Less about my fabulous self and moreabout this fabulous world. Hope that’s a decentanswer!”

How does writing science ction differ from

writing music?“It’s prose. There’s no music to work with. Com-pletely different rhythm.”

You’ll be in Grass Valley next month for a showat The Center For the Arts. What can your fans

look forward to when you perform live? Raretracks? New songs?

“I’ll be there with Tom Paxton, and we spendabout 90 percent of the show on stage together.We sing on each others’ songs, we play on eachothers’ songs, we have a great time. I do ‘At Sev-enteen’ of course, and he does ‘Ramblin’ Boy.’There are a few new songs as well. His new album,Redemption Road, features me on the title track,so we’ll be doing that. And I have a ‘for sale onlyat live shows’ album, Strictly Solo, that features asong called ‘I’m Still Standing.’ We end with thateach night.”

What’s playing on Janis Ian’s iPod?

“I don’t have a lot of time to listen these days.And I don’t own an iPod any more. Tom, on theother hand, is a rabid listener.”

How has being an artist informed your life? Anything you would change or do differently?

“Well, if I changed anything I wouldn’t be where

I wound up, so no, I wouldn’t change anything.”What advice would you give to aspiring musicians?

“You’ll learn more from failure than you’ll learnfrom success. Be prepared to fail. Enjoy it.”

THE GREAT GIG IN THE STATE

So you thought you might like to go to the

show. To feel the warm thrill of confusion,that space cadet glow.

The Floyd is happy to oblige.

“We are very meticulous; we play exactly whatthe players do,” said Rob Lawrence, keyboardist

and founder of the Carson City-based Pink Floydtribute band. “It’s like any other kind of imper-sonation. I don’t play like myself. We are tryingto bring back the theatrical experience of what itwas like to see Pink Floyd. For us, it’s a serious,serious hobby.”

Lawrence, 61, bought his rst Pink Floyd album in

1973, the unequivocal classic, “The Dark Side ofthe Moon.”

“In those days it was common to put on DarkSide, smoke a joint and space out,” he said.

And even if you weren’t of the age to “space

out,” you could still appreciate the progressive,psychedelic, sonically-experimental music of theEnglish band.

“I was in the fth grade, maybe even fourth,” saidDean Rossi, 48. “It was very formative stuff forme. I was a kid with head phones and a bean bagchair who found a wonderful new way to escape

reality.”There’s no escaping the fact that Pink Floyd is asiconic as rock bands go, with a dedicated, pas-sionate fan base that spans generations. Rossi,who plays drums for The Floyd, is well aware ofhis responsibility.

‘THE FLOYD’ PAYS TRIBUTE

TO EPIC ROCK BAND

By Paul Cambra

From left, Rob Lawrence on keyboards, Curt Mitchell on guitar, Vincent Gates on bass, Dean Rossi on drums and Lisa McCuiston singing. “We don’tplay with a clip track,” Lawrence said. “The show is highly mechanized but everything is on the y. It is live right in front of you.”


11/28

E 11

“It’s been pretty much an amazing opportunity tobe able to serve this music properly,” Rossi said.“Being a good performer is putting out a sense ofgratuity to your band mates and more important-ly to your audience. The music becomes my ownexperience. It’s amazing and uplifting. To basicallypresent and spread the music of Pink Floyd, it’s adream come true.”

‘Did they tell you the name of thegame boys?’

Rossi and Lawrence are joined by singer and bassplayer Vincent Gates, guitarist Curt Mitchell, sing-er Lisa McCuiston and, occasionally, saxophoneplayer Joel Edwards. McCuiston was recruited tosing “Great Gig in the Sky” and stuck around be-cause she can also play guitar and bass.

“Lucky for us Lisa is an incredible singer,” Gatessaid. “She was a real good nd and a real good tfor this group.”

Good because Gates, 44, likes to strap on a gui-tar now and then and resurrect some of the Da-vid Gilmour riffs he honed as a 12-year-old. Andon most Pink Floyd songs, there is no shortageof guitar parts, something that works well in thestudio but can present quite a challenge in liveperformances.

“Any given song, if you listen closely, you hear veor six guitars at one time, all played by the sameperson,” Gates said. “It’s a challenge to take theplayers you have and pick the parts that are mostimportant. Sometimes we ip op in between onepart and another to get it all in. We use soundeffects but we don’t play tracks. We’d rather be alive rock band than be a Vegas show.”

‘You bought a guitar to punish your Mom’

Manning the lion’s share of guitar duties is CurtMitchell. He even sings the lead on “Young Lust.”

“That’s the song where we cut him loose,” Gatessaid. “He plays guitar as good as the great mas-ters of fast shredding guitar and it’s been a chal-lenge for him to slow down and play Gilmour.Gilmour had a touch and a feel; that’s his claim tofame. He was never a fast player but an incrediblysoulful one. Curt is certainly soulful but he’s usedto playing 1,000 notes a minute.”

Rossi is also aware of the nuances that go withreplicating a legend.

“Nick Mason is about a feel, the way he plays thedrums,” Rossi said. “His drumming is relativelysimple, but what makes it different and beautifulat the same time is its simplicity.”

Adding to the authenticity of their homage is thefact that they try to stick to the same gear that wasavailable when Pink Floyd were recording thesesongs.

“A lot of the gear that we use is vintage becauseof the sound,” Lawrence said. “I use an originalFender Rhodes piano to emulate the sound on therecords. It’s not always effectively done pushing abutton on any keyboard. You have to nesse it.”

Come on you raver, you seer of visions’

No Pink Floyd show, tribute or otherwise, wouldbe complete without the visuals, and The Floyddoes not disappoint. Drummer Rossi has a back-ground in technology so he does double dutywhen it comes to show time.

“I am that guy in the band,” he said. “I have aband of musicians I play with and a band of tech-nicians I direct. We carry three or four, dependingon the type of venue. A laserist, a lighting direc-tor, a sound man and occasionally a projectionistand/or a stage manager.”

Three of those will be coming to Auburn, withRossi handling the projectionist role, as he oftendoes, from behind the drum kit.

“On our website, we put our tech crew on thesame level as the musicians,” he said. “We areproud of that. They do so much work. They arethe rst ones in and the last ones out. They don’tget the adulation like the guys on stage.”

Not that these guys are in it for the adulation.

“It’s almost like we’ve become Pink Floyd schol-ars,” Lawrence said. “It’s been a beautiful experi-ence to concentrate on it, to get inside the headof the players who organized the music. You areconstantly in the learning and improvement pro-cess. But it’s annoying to anyone who doesn’tknow what your passion is.”

For long you live and high you y, but only if youride the tide.

W hen Jack Gallagher decided to name his live act, he chose aline from a Pete Townsend song. And since his comedy showdoes not contain the element of pathos that his one-manplays do, it’s not called “Hope I Die before I Get Old.”“I’m 62 so I’m going through all of that stuff you go through — unlessyou’re Shirley MacLaine,” Gallagher said. “It’s about getting older, hav-ing older kids, going to the doctor more, being more aware of what youcan and can’t do.”

The show is titled “Can’t Pretend that Growing Older Never Hurts,” andGallagher found out rst hand about the pain of aging when his headmet a windshield last Labor Day.

“I am an avid cyclist,” he said. “I was riding and got hit by a car. I had a

serious concussion that I am still suffering the after effects of six monthslater. Doctors say at my age, if you get everything back, it could take upto a year.”

So, add “realize your physical limitations” to the list of things you get tolook forward to.

“I do this bit in my act of how I’ve dropped something on the oor andI take time to consider whether it’s worth bending over to pick up,” hesaid. “I used to do stairs two or three at a time and now it’s ‘do I reallyneed to go upstairs?’”

Not part of his act is the oft-considered, “do I really need to go on theroad?” After a decade and a half of 35 weeks a year on the road, he’sreally tired of traveling.

“When you y into Chicago for the rst time it’s real exciting,” he said.“You go to a ballgame, visit the museum, make new friends. By the 15thtime it’s ‘saw my friends, been to a ballgame, seen the museums.’ Oncemy boys were born I wanted to stay home. My young son was diagnosedwith autism and I wanted to be there for that.”

Even his corporate gigs take three days to do 45 minutes of material.

That’s why he looks forward to this appearance in Auburn, a short drivefrom his Sacramento home, where he has lived since 1987.

SCREEN SHOTS

He’s done movies (with Bobcat Goldthwait and Clint Eastwood — there’ssome range), had a short-lived TV sitcom (Bringing Up Jack), had a recur-ring role on Curb Your Enthusiasm (“Larry David was great to work with,very generous”), opened for everyone from Paul Anka to Warren Zevon,and even auditioned for the role of Frasier on Cheers. But the highlightof his career, by far, was his rst appearance on the Tonight Show withJohnny Carson.

“As a comic, growing up when I grew up, getting on Carson was thepinnacle, the mountaintop,” Gallagher said. “I did ve auditions beforethey accepted me; and I did well when I was on. You left that stage asa Tonight Show comic. That was a huge bump to your career. You wentfrom middle act to headliner. For a headliner it bumped up your moneyor you got a better room.”

Every club apparently had an apartment where they’d put up their come-dians for the week. The opening act, the middle act and the headliner allroomed together.

“You’d have one or two new roommates every week,” he said. “I livedwith some nuts but I also met one of my best friends. After the TonightShow, I got a hotel.”

His best advice for the young aspiring comedi-an — the one that wants that hotel room — isto get on stage. Don’t worry about an agent ora tour, just get yourself on stage.

‘IT HAS TO KILL’

“I write stuff all of the time and think it’s funny,”he said. “But unless you are up in front of an au-dience and get their stamp of approval, it’s not.Start with ve minutes. Get on stage and makesure it works. Every time you do it. If 30 secondsaren’t working, replace them. It has to kill everytime. Then you work on 10 minutes, then 20,then 45 minutes, then an hour.”

Author Malcolm Gladwell once said it takesabout 10,000 hours to truly master somethingand Gallagher buys into that theory. But for co-medians it’s more than just time, you also needa diverse audience.

“Do your act in front of people who have no in-terest in your comedy,” he said. “Do it front ofpeople who don’t want to laugh. Make it work.”

Gallagher has written ve critically-acclaimedone-man shows that are more theatrical produc-tions than stand up comedy. They include “se-rious stuff” and “moments of sadness,” which,unless he bombs, will not be a part of his Auburnshow.

He has also logged a few hours as a host on thePBS shows Money Moves; Kids, Cash and Com-mon Sense; and Money Track. Did two-and-a-half years as a math teacher in Massachusettsmake him a nancial expert or is there some-thing else we don’t know about?

“I have a checking account,” he said. “Theywanted me to be the everyman, to lighten themood of money. My job on the show was to askquestions. ‘Don’t throw that term around, ex-plain what it means.’ They gured that if Jackunderstands it, we’ll understand it. I’m relatable.Not too smart, not too dumb.”

It’s the same way he sees his comedy.

“Comedy as everyman,” he said. “Comedy weall can relate to. It’s an hour of material thatranges from getting old to having older kidsto stupid people doing stupid things. It’s justfunny.”

A nyone familiar with the movie “CalendarGirls” is well aware of the nudity involved,especially those actresses who signed on to playthe title roles. Tasteful and discreet as it is, theyare naked nonetheless.

But wife swapping?

“I play Chris Harper,” said Rene Spratling. “Myhusband plays John, the fellow with cancer, whois married to Annie Clarke. Lois Ewing plays An-nie. Her husband, Scott Ewing, plays Rod, myhusband in the play. So I guess we swapped hus-bands for the show.”

OK, husband swapping, now that makes sense.After all, this is a woman-centric production, witha half dozen lovely ladies baring it all for a goodcause. And besides, the guys had their shot afew years ago.

“We did ‘Full Monty’ in 2011,” said producerScott Ewing. “This was a natural follow up to it.”

Scott Ewing is artistic director at Quest Theater-works. His wife Lois is managing producer. Hesaid the theater is always looking for plays thatgo beyond entertainment, plays that move peo-ple.

“The play is far more poignant than the movie,”he said. “It really takes it from a uffy piece to aquite moving piece of theater.”

It also served as an opportunity to raise somemoney for Hospice of the Foothills. An actual12-month calendar was produced and proceedsbene t the Nevada County nonpro t.

CROSSING THE POND, COUNTY LINES

Calendar Girls is one of the hottest plays in GreatBritain right now, and Quest Theaterworks is oneof the rst theaters in the U.S. to be awarded therights to it.

“I was all over the publisher in Great Britain,”Scott Ewing said. “When Samuel French pub-lished it in the U.S. they reached out and askedif we thought it was a good idea and I said ‘Yes,give it to me now!’”

They have become somewhat of a touring com-pany, with 25 performances over eight-plusweeks in Truckee, Auburn and Grass Valley.

“Doing a play that really hasn’t been done inthis country, that part was exciting,” Lois Ewingsaid. “But a tour is always a tricky thing. It reallyrequires a time commitment, more so than Com-munity Theater actors are used to.”

And unless they’re doing a revival of “Hair,” theytypically get to keep their clothes on. But withsome precisely placed props, they’ve managedto pull off the most dif cult scene in the play.

“We had a great time with it,” Spratling said.“Alicia Ivy was our photographer and she madeus all feel at ease.”

Judy Blake directs a cast of 15 and the run startsApril 10 at the Truckee Community Arts Center.It can be cold in Truckee this time of year, butthe “Calendar Girls” are going full monty on this,goosebumps and all.

FRESH SOUND BLOWS INFROM THE NORTH

J ust a little bit south of Saskatoon. Goodsong by Sonny James. Great place if you’retalking about Regina, population 200,000, giveor take a Saskatchewan or two.

But it suits Tyler Gilbert just ne. The Calgaryborn singer-songwriter splits his time betweenthat burgeoning metropolis and his brother’sdigs in Great Falls, Montana (a little bit further

south, like 500 miles).“Regina has a lot of musicians and a very strongunderground scene,” Gilbert said. “There’s alot of support.”

Like most musicians, he’s spent some time onthe road, touring the better part of his nativeCanada and sizable chinks of the U.S. Mid-west and Eastern seaboard. But he’s about to

embark on his rst tour of the western UnitedStates, and you can bet he’s looking forward toat least one thing.

“Nice weather,” he said. “And I’ve alwaysfound the West to be more inviting in the over-all feel you get from people; more generousand welcoming. I’m expecting to run into goodpeople along the way.”

Gilbert, 26, released his fourth album, OK Mur-phy, in 2013. The title is a nod to Murphy’s Law,which has won rounds in the past but seemsto be taking a backseat lately on his road trips.

“It comes with experience,” he said “Mostthings you see aren’t going to surprise you any-more. Getting to know people, making con-nections with venue owners, making friends …it gets easier, especially when you’ve been to aplace before.”

While the road is less rocky, his music is leaningmore so. While he admits his folk is already alittle edgier than the traditional sort, he’s delib-

Tyler Gilbert makes hisWest Coast debut inRoseville

Canadian folk rock, singer-songwriter Tyler Gilbert saidhis solo gig at Ginger’s in Roseville makes for strippeddown versions of his songs. “The performances on thistour are down to the root of the songs,” he said. “Insinger-songwriter fashion, one can clearly hear the lyricsand the stories.” By Paul Cambra

erately heading into a more electric-driven rock direction. But he neverwants to erase his musical diversity. He’s even had decent radio play onCanadian country music stations. His sundry assortment of styles is nosurprise once he enlightens you to his musical inuences.

“I look at it as a triangle,” he said. “I know it’s a weird way to look at it,but up at top are the singers. There is a wide range — some you mightnot expect — but my favorites are Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.In one bottom corner are the guitarists, Zakk Wylde and Dimebag Daryl.In the other corner are the songwriters. Neil Young, Bob Dylan, JohnFogerty. I am a big fan of ’70s-era music. I really think music peaked atthat point. So many great artists, so many great songs.”

Even more inuential upon his songwriting was his father, who he de-scribed as “older than one would expect.”

“He was a very smart man, owned multiple degrees,” Gilbert said. “Heand his brother would question everything, every tradition and routine,and they always encouraged me to do what I wanted. They’d say ‘do

what you want and do it now.’”So he is. He’s channeling his natural af nity to people-watching intoinsightful, character-driven songs. His subjects favor “underdogs andthe little guy,” like the worn out cowboy looking for his place or thepetty thief from Nevada with the law on her tail. Or the two guys withthe broken down van in Niagara Falls. Wait, that’s not a song, that reallyhappened.

“We were scheduled to play in St. Catharines so we decide to take adrive to Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side,” he said. “As soon as wegot into town the old van just broke down. We opened the hood andstarted checking things out but being musicians we weren’t the mostmechanically inclined. We took the car into the shop and they knew wewere from Saskatchewan, so as we walked around the town that day,whenever we went back to the shop it was ‘here comes those Saskatch-ewan boys again.’”

That was back when Murphy’s Law was jockeying for a spot in the band.For the “From the North 2015 Tour,” Gilbert is going it alone.

“I’ll be doing this tour solo,” he said. “You’ll hear more of the words andthe story. Sometimes they can be just as powerful as those songs with afull band behind them.”

B rad Kent is a man who can barely contain hislove for crafting artful, sizzle-savoring mozzarellapies. The executive chef from Los Angeles was inRoseville recently, working hands-on with the kitch-

en crew of the new Blaze Pizza; and as Kent sat downto discuss what makes Blaze stand out, his brimmingenthusiasm for high-grade ingredients, dough-pull-ing techniques and the science of red tomato saucewere almost uncontainable.

Kent has been called the head chef who cares —and when it comes to what America’s “pizza fanat-ics” think of the Blaze philosophy, to say he cares isa massive understatement.

Kent worked in catering during his college yearsbefore heading off to the Culinary Institute ofAmerica in New York. He swung the knives at nedining and then earned a second degree in foodscience, soon grabbing a job with the Depart-ment of Defense to develop rations for soldiers.

These days he remembers being one of the onlypeople working in the Army’s food program whoactually strapped on a full 60-pound complimentof ranger’s gear and went marching with a platoonthrough a sweltering Louisiana summer day to seehow much his food packs weighed on a service-man’s back. That extreme commitment spilled overwhen he eventually went back to cooking for themasses with his own restaurant, Olio Pizzeria &Café in Los Angeles.

“When I decided I was going to specialize in piz-za, I literally bought every published book on pizzathat Amazon had,” he remembered with a laugh.“It took me three years to read all of them; but itgave me a really good view of how diverse piz-za-cooking is in different parts of the world.”

When Kent opened Olio, it didn’t take long for hisnovel approach to extreme quality with ingredi-ents, and his an almost religious intensity to cook-ing dough, to get Zagat’s to name Olio one of thebest pizzerias in the nation.Still maintaining a restaurant on L.A.’s West 3rdStreet and another in its Grand Central Market, thetireless Kent also agreed to be the executive cheffor the emerging chain, Blaze Pizza, which opened

a location at 10325 Fairway Drive in Roseville inmid-December. This week, Kent sat down withthe Entertainer to discuss what Roseville food-ies should know about Blaze. He started with hisown personal search for the freshest conceivableingredients a chain can carry, which includes peer-less California olive oil, our grown and milled inCalifornia, non-factory processed chicken and tur-key, olives from Greece rather than China, chees-es aged within driving distance of the dairies theirmilk comes from, and a host of meat options fromcerti ed, cruelty-free sources.

“Good recipes and good ingredients are a bigpart of it,” Kent said. “But so is having employeeswho have real passion for pizza. When a custom-er comes in who is a self-proclaimed ‘pizza freak,’there’s no way to fool them on the quality, just likethere’s no way to fool them about whether the peo-ple working inside the kitchen care.”

Another point of emphasis with Kent is making surethe dough at Blaze is properly managed, so it be-comes a golden-baked art canvas for his piercingruby tomato sauce spreads. Kent has the dough forBlaze mixed in the Parisian style. He maintains thatour that is masterfully fermented will transform

into pizza dough with a slightly sour taste, while being crisp on the outsideand tender on the inside.

“The dough has to be properly curated,” Kent explained. “If you get a pizzaand the dough is white and devoid of color, than that dough has been abused… The dough is at least 30 percent of a pizza, so you have to really focus onthat, because it’s the foundation.”

Beyond the direction that Kent is pushing for Blaze, its corporate of ce hastried to make the pizza company stand out by going the extra mile on environ -mental friendliness. This includes using pizza boxes that are biodegradable

and drink lids that are compostable. Blaze is also currently trying to developstraws for its drinks that will break down into the soil.

Jeff Mueller, the manager of Roseville’s Blaze, testi ed that early response tohis company’s character has been extremely encouraging.

“It’s just been exciting to see all of the enthusiasm from new customers com-ing in here,” Mueller said. “I would say we have a fun, family friendly atmo-sphere, and the employees have a lot of energy too — so the enthusiasm hasbeen on both sides of the counter.”

From Kent’s perspective, Roseville’s Blaze has a number of employees with alot of cooking potential. He is hoping they enjoy the same journey of discov -ery that he’s experienced over the years.

“There is nothing more rewarding to a chef than seeing a plate come back tothe kitchen empty,” Kent recalled with a smile. “Knowing a customer enjoyedwhat you put out to them is absolutely the best feeling.”
