The Fishstock concert series at Camp David Party Barn in Door County begins its 21st season in July. The series brings acclaimed folk and bluegrass musicians from around the country to perform in the 100-year old dairy barn. This year's lineup includes returning favorites like Eric Lewis, Chris Irwin, and Karen Mal, as well as some new acts like jazz artist Janet Planet and the acoustic swing duo Mal-O-Dua. The concerts have been running since the 1990s and help introduce genres like bluegrass to Door County audiences in an unconventional rural setting. The all-volunteer organizers struggle to compete with other free local concerts but hope advance online ticket sales will help the series survive into the future.

Dr. Steve Ellmann is the jack-of-all liason. He’s been in bands since he was eleven, played trumpet for the Norfolk Symphony while attending the Virginia School of Music, he’s toured Europe with an 18-piece big band. “I’ve been involved with music my entire life,” Dr. Ellmann said “it makes my soul feel better.” Years ago, Dr. Ellmann, who at the time was managing a bar in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, would hire his father’s Dixie- land Jazz band to play over the Memorial and Labor Day holidays. “And we jammed the place,” Ellmann said. “Until I decided to find and hire six Dixieland musicians to come and play at the bar, six nights a week. I immediately needed a place for them to stay. So I found an old farm house with eight bedrooms, six for the band members and two for my bartenders. One of the bartenders was my brother, David.” Steve eventually pursued his PhD, while his brother ‘bought the farm.’ “He turned the house and some of the out-buildings into a summer residence for kids that worked for the county,” Ellmann said. “Over time, local folk groups and musicians would do impromtu shows in the barn for whatever they could make by passing the hat.” Then one year David threw a Labor Day weekend party. “It was for all the kids that had worked up there all summer,” Ellmann said “not just at his place, but throughout the county. For 5-bucks a head there were all the brats and corn on the cob you could eat, and all the beer you could drink, and music until everybody fell down (laugh).” It eventually became slightly more Fishstock Fills the Barn Sunday nights at Camp David Party Barn All shows start at 7 pm 3127 County Road F, Fish Creek, WI 54212 fishstockmusic.com Continue on Page 8

And I’ve been doing the sound since the inception, and producing the shows at what’s known as ‘Camp David.’ David booked the bands and organized things. It’s a family affair. My mother, until she passed away last November, used to bring flowers for all the concerts and decorate the stage. My sister Carol has now taken over flower duty.” In July, the Fishstock Concert Series at Camp David Party Barn will begin its 21st season of bringing acclaimed musi- cians to the most unconventional of stages. Established favorites like Memphis picking extraordinaire Eric Lewis and songwriter Chris Irwin return, joined by the likes of jazz virtuoso Janet Planet and the acoustic swing of Mal-O-Dua. “I’m really excited about this lineup, with favorites returning and some new blood invigorating the stage,” Ellmann said. “We’re maintaining the vibe and aesthetic of the place that people love, that makes it so special, but with some new sounds to attract new audiences and some new technical advancements to make it easier for people to attend.” The Fishstock Concert Series gave bluegrass and folk music a Door County platform two decades ago, introducing acts from around the country to Door County audiences in a barn where the setting sun squeezes through cracks in the barnwood. Musicians like Lewis, Tommy Burroughs, Jimmy Davis, and Karen Mal have since become staples of the penin- sula’s music scene with a genre rarely heard before the venue with a funny name opened its doors to them. “We do a regular season,” Ellmann said “musicians come from all over the country to play and sing... it’s a unique singer/songwriter venue.” None of the people who work at Camp David get paid. “We don’t have any big money behind us,” Ellmann said “we either make it at the door, or it comes out of my pocket. We’re competing for the audiences who go to other local free concerts that are funded by the room tax dollars. We’re trying real hard to make it survive.” Fishstock is even becoming higher tech by now selling tickets in advance online for the first time. Follow the signs down the gravel drive- way off County Road F and Maple Grove Road just east of Fish Creek. Park in the field where you’re welcome to tailgate. You’ll find seating in the barn for 150, and more room outside under a newly built over-hang roof, over the slab in the barn- yard where they will video-project the show going on inside on the side of the barn. They offer free Collectivo Coffee, and soda, and tea. “Or you can bring a bottle of wine,” Ellmann said “maybe a cigar, hangout and enjoy the music.” To learn more about Fishstock, see the 2016 concert schedule, and buy tickets, visit fishstockmusic.com or find it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/fishstock- music.

BY GEORGE HALAS It is often said that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. On Saturday, June 11th and Sunday, June 12th, there is an opportunity to make it a two-fer as The 8th Annual Oshkosh Irish Fest returns to The Leach Amphitheater. The festival has grown in popularity and has been voted “Best Local Festival” five times in the Reader’s Choice Poll con- ducted by The Oshkosh Northwestern. “You don’t have to be Irish to have fun. Everyone is welcome,” said Matt Miller, founder and president of Irish Fest. “It’s a great opportunity to try ethnic foods, learn about the culture – we have vendors who sell everything from Irish jewelry to kilts - and listen to some wonderful festive music.” Oshkosh Irish Fest is a family-friendly event that benefits local charities, to date, over $140,000 has been raised. It features Irish entertainment and activities for the entire family including Irish and Celtic music, Irish dance groups, demonstrations on Irish sports and a variety of cultural information displays. “We highlight the impact the Irish have had on northeast Wisconsin,” Miller said. “After German, Irish is the second- largest ancestry in the area.” In addition to two days of fun, the festival contributes to the greater good. “We are most proud of the number of volunteers involved, the amount of money raised for local charities and what we are giving back to the city,” Miller said. “Restaurants, shops, hotels and pubs all benefit.” For the wee ones, there is Little Lepre- chaun Land with inflatables for the kids. The ever-popular band Gaelic Storm – you may recall them from the movie, “Titantic” - will headline, and are joined during the two days by many other of the “best Irish and Celtic,” live bands and dancers including Leahy’s Luck, Ken- nedy’s Kitchen, Ian Gould, and more. The World Champion Trinity Irish Dancers will perform on Saturday before they leave for their tour in Belgium and the Netherlands. “The Trinity Irish Dancers have won multiple world championships,” Miller said. “They are comparable to the Broad- way show, River Dance.” Local Oshkosh celebrities will partici- pate in curroch races on the river. “A curroch is an ancient Celtic wooden boat,” Miller said. The festival kicks off with a 5K Run/ Walk that starts and ends at The Leach. “It’s a timed run, but it’s also just a fun run as well,” Miller said. All participants in the 5K Run/Walk – it costs $20 to pre-register and $25 the day of – get a free T-shirt and free admis- sion to the festival. “If you pre-register at any RunAway Shoe Store, you will also get a free bever- age of your choice,” Miller added. One of the unique features of the fes- tival is provided by The Irish Wolfhound Club. “All Irish-breed dogs are invited to the festival,” Miller said. “The Irish wolf- hounds are on display and are there to pet and play with. They’re pretty impressive. They’re like horses.” All of the events proceeds go to charity, but Miller notes that “if you pre-register, you can save some money.” To pre-register for tickets go to any RunAway Shoe Store or get tickets online at: oshkoshirishfest.com Returns to the Leach ENTERTAINMENT // OSHKOSH IRISH FEST 10  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016

12  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // APPLETON CELEBRATES SUMMER Appleton CelebratesSummer BY GEORGE HALAS Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Appleton Downtown Inc. (ADI) is inviting everyone to enjoy the summer with the return of two free summer music series. The 11th annual Heid Music Summer Concert series, and the 5th annual Lunchtime Live! series. “Every year, we try to make each series the best we can,” said ADI Marketing Director Anne Wiegman. “The lineups are a mix of returning favorites with some of the best up-and-coming bands. ADI is very proud to offer as many free events as pos- sible every year and we are committed to doing that in the future. We want to make arts and music accessible to everyone.” The Heid Music Summer Concerts Series features many of Wisconsin’s best bands every Thursday evening through September 1st. Houdini Plaza will be the place for music three Thursdays each month; the series moves to Jones Park along the riverfront for Vic Ferrari Sym- phony on The Rocks on June 23rd, 2016 WAMI Cover Artist of The Year Boogie and The Yo-Yo’s on July 28th and perennial favorite Boxkar on August 25th. “Last year was the first time we were able to offer Vic Ferrari Symphony on The Rocks for free and it was very popular, so we are very happy to do it again this year,” Wiegman said. “Without selling tickets, it’s hard to say how many people were there, but it was wall-to-wall concertgoers.” Like last year, the band will include The HD Horns – Ken Skitch on trombone, Jack Naus on trumpet and Chris Felts playing all kinds of sax and flutes, but “the set list will be 30% different than last year,” said Mike Bailey, Vic Ferrari vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. “We now have 50 to 60 different arrangements. It’s a luxury for us that we can play that many new songs.” Based on last year’s record crowd – “we heard many numbers,” Bailey said – the sound system will be beefed up to ensure that everyone is treated to the full Sym- phony on The Rocks experience. “We’ve got to play for the people who are 10 feet in front of us and the people who are 500 feet away,” he emphasized. “We want to connect with everybody. The cool thing about last year was that every- one congregated in one place for one night. Not all the people were there to see the band; some were there to see their friends and be part of a great crowd. I like that – it’s kinda cool.” RPM opens the series at Houdini Plaza on June 2nd, The Jimmys will be there June 9th and, in response to requests for some country, Grand Union plays on June 16th, and Unity the Band on the 30th. In July, Houdini will host Ask Your Mother on July 7th, The Love Monkeys on July 14th, and The Cool Waters Band on July 21st. Mistrial hits Houdini on August 11th, Road Trip will be featured on August 18th and WAMI People’s Choice Award winner Spicy Tie Band wraps the series up on September 1st. On August 4th, the Heid Music series will partner with Mile of Music to show- case at Houdini Plaza some of the artists and bands coming to Appleton from four countries and 26 states. Lunchtime Live offers more than just great music. “The lunch time series has grown in popularity but is still an underutilized resource,” Wiegman noted. “It’s a great opportunity to get away from the office to do some brainstorming or just take a nice break by yourself.” Wiegman also pointed out that ven- dors will be on site selling food for both the lunch and evening series, “or you can grab some take-out from one of the many nearby restaurants.” The Lunchtime Live concerts take place in Houdini Plaza on Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ADI has assembled a star-studded lineup featuring a number of fast-rising artists with newly released CD’s of original music. Tom Winch gets the party started on June 2nd, followed by a Street Music Week Feature Artist, Red Verses on June 9th, Vic Ferrari guitarist and vocalist Russ Reiser on the 16th, John Lambert on the 23rd and Dr. Dobbe on June 30th. Street Music Week is  June 6-10, and during this annual fundraiser, musi- cians play outside storefronts from noon until 1pm and donate all tips to Feeding America.  Every $1 donation provides three meals for those in need. July gets hot with Tim Dorsey on July 7th and Patchouli on the 14th. The Erin and Jeff Duo (Krebs and Johnston) will perform songs off their new CD on July 21st and Blake Welhouse plays on the 28th. Peridot brings its original music and new EP to Houdini on August 4th, Miss Molly will bring “Snow” on the 11th, Eddie Biebel plays on the 18th, multiple WAMI-nominee Kyle Megna performs his original music on the 25th and Timber- Moon Bluegrass closes the season out on September 1st. In addition to Heid Music, both series receive support from BMO Harris Bank, Mill Creek, General Beer, WI Distribu- tors, Habash, Habash and Rottier S.C., IPS Testing, Fox Cities Signs & Lighting, Tundraland, AZCO Inc., Atrium Health & Senior Living, West Corporation, and Festival Foods. ADI is a non-profit advocacy source for businesses and merchants in Downtown Appleton and Wiegman points out that “Downtown Appleton has eighteen live music venues to enjoy year-round, but many of the venues move their music to the outdoors during summer for even greater enjoyment!” For more information on ADI summer events, go to appletondowntown.org with Two Free Music Series

Located in Custer, Wisconsin, seven miles east of Stevens Point, nestled in the heart of central Wisconsin, surrounded by rolling hills, lakes, trout streams, and beautiful woodlands. Custer has been the home of The Energy Fair since 2002. The Fair features over 250 workshops and over 200 exhibitors, with live music, inspiring keynotes, and activities for the whole family. Hosted by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association in Central Wisconsin, The Energy Fair is the longest- running event of its kind in the nation. Allison Lindquist is the events coordi- nator of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association. “As always we have a great line up of keynote speakers,” Lindquist said “includ- ing Nomi Prins a political-financial expert, journalist and author. Prins is widely sought-after for her unique perspective on politics, finance, and the economy. She’ll be speaking on how regulations can help push policies forward to benefit the public, and speaking to energy and campaign finance and energy policies specifically.” John Farrell is also scheduled as a keynote speaker. Farrell is Director of Democratic Energy at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. “In recent years there has been a lot of excitement over renewable energy,” Lindquist said “with the cost of solar coming down, and battery technology improving. John will talk on distributing energy on a local level and becoming more energy-independent.” And Sandrine Mubenga, who is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of SMIN Power Group which has offices in the DRC and in the USA and specializes in providing affordable electricity to com- munities using renewable energies (par- ticularly solar including hydroelectricity, fuel cell, biomass, wind, etc). Currently, Sandrine is the  Electrical Engineering Manager at the University of Toledo. “Sandrine recently traveled abroad,” Lindquist said “having taught those who did not have access to harnessing solar energy, the means to do so.” Just some of the workshops available include Advanced Fuel Vehicles Using Electric and Natural Gas with Chris Schneider of Honda Motorwerks where you’ll learn how electric and natural gas vehicles can merge alternatives into the most advanced fuel vehicles: Hydrogen powered, Fuel Cell Vehicles. Get an introduction into cordwood construction with Richard and Becky Flatau who built their mortgage-free cordwood home thirty-seven years ago in northern Wisconsin. Since then, as direc- tors of Cordwood Construction Resources, LLC, they have written books, taught workshops and pioneered the use of best practices with cordwood construction, a home building technique that uses natural materials and encourages planet-friendly choices. Outstanding visual examples of best practice homes/cottages/cabins will reveal the latest successful builds. And there are workshops for all ages. David Stokes, through the use of short songs, riddles, sign-language, live animals, biofacts (animal artifacts), puppets, and humor, will examine our Animal Adapta- tions. David is a Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education Teacher of the Year and an ‘Aldo Leopold’ award winner.

He sings and engages audiences of all ages in nature study. Using live creatures and animal artifacts, songs, and short stories, David gets down with his audiences, and makes learning fun. “In all we have around 280 workshops planned,” Lindquist said. “New this year are the vehicles provid- ing clean transportation, examples of the improve- ments being made and the recent technology advances, like electric bikes! Plus there will be a couple Teslas on the grounds.” Christina Nichols, Senior Executive Technical Advisor for the SunShot Initiative, will speak about Solar Ready Vets. “The Solar Ready Vets program con- nects our nation’s skilled veterans to the solar energy industry,” Lindquist said “preparing them for careers as solar pho- tovoltaic (PV) system installers, inspectors, sales reps, and other solar-related occupa- tions. Solar Ready Vets is enabled by the U.S. Department of Defense’s SkillBridge initiative, which allows exiting military personnel to pursue civilian job training, employment skills training, apprentice- ships, and internships up to six months prior to their separation.” There will be plenty to see, do and learn at this year’s fair. “A couple years ago we built a wood- fired pizza oven during the fair,” Lindquist said “we’ll be talking about the process of how-to build one of your own, and we’ll also be baking sour dough pizzas in the one we built. Plus, Saturday night there will be a band playing. They’re called Phox, and are an up-and-coming group out of Baraboo.” There is a pre-fair guide available online and in print.

16  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // GREEN LAKE FESTIVAL OF MUSIC BY MICHAEL CASPER In 1979, the choral director and voice teacher at Ripon College, David Morris, had a dream of creating a music festi- val. He and community members from Green Lake, Ripon and the Fox Valley got together and made it a reality. By the summer of 1982 Morris had invited the renowned choral conductor, Sir David Willcocks, to lead a weeklong choral workshop during the festival. “That was an important part in the early days of the festival,” Laura Deming, executive director of the Green Lake Festi- val of Music said. “The vision and mission of the founders was always to provide high quality classical music to an area that didn’t have its own professional music group like say, the Milwaukee Symphony. Thirty- seven years ago the kinds of concerts we perform now, were rare. These concerts and performances take place right here in this gorgeous resort town of Green Lake, as well as events held at Ripon College, and in Oshkosh.” There are four segments to the Festival of Music. “One is the concert series,” Deming said “which usually starts the season fea- turing young artists. On June 10th the Trio Lago Verde, which translated means ‘Green Lake Trio,’ who are comprised of musicians who met at the chamber music camp last year, will perform. They are 13 and 14 years old.” The second segment is the Chamber Music Camp. “It’s a very intensive two-week experi- ence for kids from all over the world,” Deming said “in the past we’ve had young musicians from Syria, Mexico, Canada... this truly is an international camp.” Auditions are held, and the kids are selected by the Festival’s artistic director Tom Rosen- berg who himself is an accomplished cellist from St. Paul, Min- nesota. Rosenberg is also artistic director of the prestigious Fischoff Chamber Music Com- petition. “Tom knows a lot of people in ‘world’ of chamber music,” Deming said “and draws the highest level of stu- dents to come here. He himself went through a very highly regarded chamber music program when he was a student, and now some of his colleagues come to Green lake and serve as faculty members.” The third branch of the Festival is the Choral Institute. “Singers from all around the country and world,” Deming said “performing the great choral works with the chamber orchestra after four days of workshops, and rehearsals.” The Festival’s fourth segment is a series of free concerts performed at local public libraries. “It’s all underwritten by a wonderful donor, Thomas Caestecker,” Deming said “a fifth generation Green Lake resident, the son of a professional violinist. The Caestecker family has been very gener- ous having helped fund the building of the Green Lake Public Library. The Caestecker’s have an art gallery within Ripon College with their name on it, and every year Thomas brings the Milwaukee Symphony to Ripon College. He too had a dream. And his was to bring free con- certs to families, and kids. So we do six library concerts in Green Lake, Princeton, Berlin, Fond du Lac, Ripon and Oshkosh. He underwrites three of the concerts, and we also get a generous contribution from Oberreich Foundation in Fond du Lac. And in Oshkosh, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation helps sponsor the library concert, so we have really wonder- ful support for the free family concerts, but Tom Caestecker started it all with his funding.” One important performance of the many on the summer schedule is on Wednesday, July 13th. “The Fauré Requiem,” Deming said “with a mass choir of singers from area choruses such as New Voices in Appleton with Dr. Philip Swan, Oshkosh Chamber Singers with Herb Berendsen, South Shore Chorale with Cory Schneider in Fond du Lac, Ripon Choral Union with Dr. John Hughes, and others from Beaver Dam, Madison, Milwaukee, and beyond.  Dr. Stephen Alltop of the famed Chicago Apollo Chorus will conduct the chorus and chamber orchestra in composer John Rutter’s arrangement.  If people would like to sing, they can sign up at the Festival website greenlakefestival.org or call the office at 920-748-9398.” It’s a free concert at First Congrega- tional Church in Oshkosh at 7:30 p.m.  “It’s in memory of conductor Sir David Willcocks and organist John Scott,” Deming said  “Sir David led the Green Lake Festival of Music Choral Institute for 20 years, from1982 - 2002, and John Scott was organ soloist and choral accompanist during the Choral Institute’s early years.” Laura Deming, who is also professional cellist with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, will be in the orchestra. The list of June Master Classes also lead to some brilliant performances. “They are very interesting,” Deming said “because basically they become private lessons in front of live audiences. There’s a student who volunteers to play whatever he or she is working on, and then the ‘master’ or the teacher gives them a lesson on the piece. It’s a wonderful way for the students to learn as it can be more difficult when you’re on the ‘hot seat’ as opposed to just watching. You can learn so much from seeing another person demonstrate, and it’s very exciting when the teacher has something that immediately improves a performance.” There are violin, viola, cello, and piano master classes. “And the Calidore String Quartet gives a master class on string quartets,” she said. Also coming in July is Christopher Taylor, an international concert pianist who happens to teach at UW Madison. “We’re very lucky to have him close by,” Deming said “and we look forward to his performing a senior’s matinee concert that will include a lunch at the Heidel House, and then an evening concert at the Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake.” The list of entertainment over the summer also includes the Boston Barn Concert....yes, a concert in a barn, V3NTO (correct spelling) a brass trio who are young, talented players unique in their interaction with the audience, and a Caba- ret night at the Thrasher that features a mix of opera arias and show tunes with Stephen Alltop accompanying on piano. “And we also have a German a cappella group coming back,” Deming said “called Calmus who were here in 2011. Oh my gosh, I’ve never heard such singing! Calmus is comprised of four men and one woman, and they are simply fun.” Even if you attended only half of what’s scheduled for the Green Lake Festival of Music, you’re guaranteed not just fun, but entertainment, inspiration, and maybe even some edification.

18  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // CONCERT WATCH Jimmy Webb BY JANE SPIETZ Acclaimed songwriter, composer, and singer Jimmy Webb’s successful career has spanned over four decades. His best known works include platinum-selling classics like “Up, Up and Away,” “Galves- ton,” “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “The Worst that Could Happen,” “All I Know,” and “MacArthur Park.” He received the Grammy Award for Song of the Year (“Up, Up and Away”) in 1997. Webb is the only artist to ever receive Grammy awards for music, orchestration, and lyrics. His songs have been performed or recorded by numerous artists, including Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, Elvis Pres- ley, Art Garfunkel, Judy Collins, and Frank Sinatra. These days Webb is touring extensively and will be putting out a new album in the near future. He just finished his memoir, titled “The Cake in the Rain” after the lyrics from his hit “MacArthur Park.” The book is to be released in 2017. He states that he is as busy now as when he was 19. I recently reached Jimmy at his home on Long Island. JANE SPIETZ: How much of an influence was the church atmosphere where your father served as pastor on your early songwriting? JIMMY WEBB: I don’t think you can overestimate it really. My mother decided I was going to be church pianist when I was six years old. That’s where music came into my life in a very forceful way. We had a contract. I would play the piano half an hour a day and she wouldn’t hit me with a stick. So, with that kind of a regimen behind me, by the time I was 12 years old, I was church pianist. I used to go out with my father on evangelical missions in the summertime and tent revivals and open air revivals. He would show me off because I could play pretty good for a kid. I really got my first taste of show business with my dad. I made the connection with the offer- ing plate. I’m not trying to be disrespectful but there is an element of religion that is definitely show business. It has some of the same dynamics. You are performing in front of crowds. You have to do well. If you do well, then you’re rewarded. JS: What was it like to meet Glen Campbell for the first time? JW: It was a little bit strange. I heard my first Glen Campbell record when I was 14, which was “Turn Around.” My fond- est wish, and I used to pray about it, was to be allowed to write a song that’s good enough and let me one of these days, if you can work it in Lord, let me meet Glen Campbell. By the time I was 18, we had a hit on the radio called “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” Somebody came up with this idea for us to do a commercial for General Motors. I wrote a jingle, kind of a song. Glen agreed to the terms of his contract. All I wanted was their offer of three free Corvettes in row. We met in the studio the day of that recording session. He looked me over. I had recently been to the Mon- terey Pop Festival. My hair was down to my armpits. I was like a complete hippie. He was coiffed, and he wore tight jeans. He was a boy toy. I walked up in front of him, stuck out my hand, and said “Hi Mr. Campbell, I’m Jimmy Webb.” For a while he pretended that I wasn’t there. Finally he looked up at me and said, “when you gonna to get a haircut?” (Laughs) JS: As late as 2012, you and Glen were doing concerts together. JW: In 2012, we played a concert hall in Indianapolis. We also played the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nash- ville that year. In 2013, he recorded his last Jimmy Webb song which was a song called “Wish You Were Here” (“Postcard from Paris”). That was on an album that was produced by someone else. That was a song that we had wanted to do for the best part of 20 years, we’d wanted to cut it. Seemed like something would always come up and get in the way. Finally he was able to do it. Glen did a beautiful job. It’s kinda sad that there has to be a last time, but at least it was the last song that we did together. That makes me happy. We went out the same way we came in. JS: One of your most famous composi- tions, “Galveston,” was a huge hit for Glen Campbell. What is your interpretation of the meaning behind the song? JW: The song was written during the Vietnamese conflict. It’s about a soldier who is thinking about home, cleaning his weapon, going about the mundane activi- ties that soldiers engage in most of the time and dreaming of this woman that he loves. He is profoundly wishing and hoping that he is able to get back to her in one piece. It’s just a universal message. A lot of people who have done their military service in Vietnam know exactly what the song means. A fellow came up to me and said, “I want to thank you for writing that song. That helped me get through a traumatic time in my life.” It happens all the time. It’s always touching; it’s always a little bit heartbreaking. I put everything I could into that song because I was so opposed to the war. I thought it was ridiculous war, WHAT: Jimmy Webb WHERE: Thrasher Opera House, Green Lake WI WHEN: 7:30 PM Saturday, June 11, 2016 COST: $29 INFO: www.jimmywebb.com thrasheroperahouse.com ©2014-Bob-Barry Continue on Page 20

And you have that awesome black wall in Washington with all those names on it. To me, it’s always been one of the saddest things in life. I didn’t go. I was deferred because of medical issues. But I could’ve easily ended up there. It could’ve been me. So when one of those guys comes up and says something like that, it’s really hard to choke back the tears. Because here’s the person who lived that experience and held onto something that I created that seems rather unsubstantial. The song is three minutes long, it’s got a few words, a few notes. In many, many ways it’s sort of a triviality, but these songs meant so much to these guys. It makes me feel a lot better about what I do for a living. To have some redeeming social value. JS: You and Richard Harris had a won- derful partnership in the creation of the huge hit “MacArthur Park.” What was it like to work with Richard? JW: The first time I met him he was directing an antiwar pageant. There were a bunch of Hollywood movie stars there like Edward G. Robinson, Walter Pigeon, Bob Mitchum, Jean Simmons, so many, including Mia Farrow and some of the younger kids. They are doing readings, poetry, and little scenes. They were all taken from literature dealing with war and the unpleasantness of war, the tragedy of war. I was sent over there to provide back- ing music. Richard was the director. He was just this mad Irishman re-creating the origin of mankind and swinging around on ropes from platform to platform like Tarzan. After the gig, he would say (using a Richard Harris voice), “Ah, Jimmy Webb, tonight we need to go out and have some black velvets.” I had no idea what a black velvet was. We go out in and an hour later I was lying on the floor seeing the galaxy spinning. A black velvet is half Guinness and half champagne. It just clobbers you and puts you away for the night. One night out I said, “Richard, we should make a record.” And he said, “Ah, Jimmy Webb, you’re right! We should make a record!” I got a telegram from him a few weeks later from London saying, “Dear Jimmy Webb - come to London to make a record. Richard.” That was it. He sent tickets, I got on the 707, took the polar flight to London. The next thing I knew we are making a record and other things. We toured Ireland. We set out to have a drink in every county in Ireland. I think we made seven counties before that fell apart of its own immensity. We became the best pals you could ever imagine. For many years we were very close. We made two excellent records together and then he began to branch out on his own. In my catalog of unforgettable characters, Richard is very close to the top! When he left us, he left this gigantic, vacant void. JS: Jimmy, you will be performing at the historic Thrasher opera house in Green Lake, Wisconsin on Saturday, June 11. JW: It will be an evening of entertain- ment. It’s for everybody. It’s for all colors, all religions, all ages. It’s a fun show. It’s basically about fun. It’s anecdotal - I tell a lot of stories. Most of them are very funny, I like to think. I guarantee an hour and a half of hits. And it’s the background behind those hits. It’s how those songs came to be and how they influenced certain artists that I’ve worked with. It’s meant to entertain. I remember the Thrasher very well. It’s a beautiful little jewel. I’m very excited about coming back. Continued form Page 18

22  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // WATERFEST 31 BY JANE SPIETZ Summer is almost here and so is Water- fest! Recently I connected with Waterfest president Mike Dempsey to get the scoop on the 31st season of the popular Oshkosh summer concert series. JANE SPIETZ: Mike, the musical lineup for Waterfest 31 is incredible! How did you manage to bring in so many top acts this year? MIKE DEMPSEY: This is the summer to MAKE AMERICA ROCK AGAIN!, isn’t it? Our sponsors and donors challenged us to deliver a game-changing line up that continues to distinguish Waterfest as ‘Wis- consin’s Best Community Concert Series.’ So we beefed up the headliner budget, but not at the expense of introducing some new artists to the area and providing local and regional musicians the opportunity to be featured as well. JS: You start off with Styx! MD: And slide guitar virtuoso Sonny Landreth on June 16th. Teachers are FREE on opening night with School ID! On June 23rd, we rock to 38 Special and former Cowboy Mouth founder Paul San- chez and his all Star New Orleans Rolling Road Show. For July 14th, we reloaded big with progressive rockers Kansas with their special guest Henry Gross. On July 23rd, George Thorogood and The Destroyers roll into the Leach Amphitheater on their Badder Than Ever Tour. Sounds a little Spinal Tapish as a tour title, but Waterfest fans are lapping up that booking based upon the early feedback. JS: Then on August 4th, you start a five consecutive week run. MD: On August 11th, we have Rock Roll Hall of Famer Eric Burdon and The Animals, which retooled at full throttle. His tour is getting rave reviews during his Australian leg of the world tour. August 18th is a 5 way package starting at 5PM featuring The Wallflowers & Blues Traveler headlining. G. Love and Special Sauce, as well as Howie Day, are on the bill too! The Sept 1st finale’ features Toto with some of the best musicians ever to enter a recording studio. We have a few more to announce. Check out waterfest.org for updates and details. JS: Waterfest is known for its “nug- gets.” Which “nuggets” should we be on the lookout for this summer? MD: Sonny Landreth on opening night is a mind blower if you are a guitar or blues fan. The Tin Men return from New Orleans to open June 23rd at 5:30 PM, dishing out Bourbon Street high and low rent ear candy. Henry Gross is tucked in to open July 14th. You might remember his #1 ‘70s hit about Carl Wilson’s dog “Shannon” stuck in your head. He was also a founding member of Sha Na Na, having played Woodstock while in college. Then we have both the R&B Cadets and The Suitcase Junket back-to-back on July 23rd. The Cadets are a reformed Milwaukee super group doing a handful of fest dates this summer and they gave us a date! We also picked off one of The Mile of Music crowd-pleasers in The Suitcase Junket on his way to Canada August 4th. Amasa Hines is another 2016 Mile of Music group offered to be dropping in on Waterfest as a rising star quintet. The Davis Rogan Band makes his way north from The Big Easy or some road house romp. Davis was the featured character in the HBO series TREME. We have Boston rocker Sarah Borges and The Broken Singles opening the dance floor at 5PM on Aug 18th. Her new release, “A Tendency To Riot” lets the cat out of the bag, so get there for Sarah’s set. Then on September 1st, we have rising star blues sensation Matthew Curry and The Fury. Think Jonny Lang meets Stevie Ray Vaughan. JS: Talk about the pricing and admis- sion policy for 2016. MD: With the beefed up roster we thought we should reward the Waterfest Warriors who attend 5 or more times a season. So we have a General Admission Season pass that gets you in for less than $12 a night on sale now for $100. Better yet we have a Reserved Patio Access VIP Season Pass that gets you up front and per- sonal for less than $17 a night now on sale for $150. The Season Passes allow you to come and go at any time all night. We will also have a FAST LANE for Season Pass holders for getting in. The single night VIP Admission are also heavily discounted at $30 most nights for shows that would cost $50-200 or more for that kind of access. General Admission is tiered, rewarding early birds. On some nights admission is as low as $10 if you are in line by 6PM! Veterans are free all season. Kids under 12 are as well when they bring a parent. Don’t forget teachers are free opening night with school ID! JS: What will be included with the expanded VIP option? MD: The Reserved Area Patio Access will be there waiting for you. There will be less crowd press and you can wiggle up front or kick back in some space within 100 feet, effectively a 20 row distance, of center stage. There is a dedicated cash bar with wine and craft beers and porta pot- ties when you need them. While we do not allow chairs in the reserved area, some fans bring them and set up on the grass to chill. They come and go as they please. Those in the VIP area also can take pride in helping to keep General Admission to Waterfest affordable and as inclusive to the community as possible. JS: Where can VIP and General Admis- sion Season passes be purchased? MD: Call the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce at 920-303-2265 x22 or drop in at the Chamber. Bank First in Oshkosh, Appleton, and Green Bay also have them. We do suggest getting them in advance. However, will-call at the Leach Amphitheater is also sell- ing them on opening night June 16 and again on June 23 starting at 4:30PM. JS: As of today, the Waterfest Facebook page has grown to 6430 members! It remains a very valuable communication tool for fans. It’s always interesting and informative to view all of the shares and comments. MD: Yes, the fans are feisty and engaged as well. They really let us have it when we disappoint or fail to communi- cate on such matters as acts, admission prices, food and beverage offerings, and so on. We listen, and it is important to our keeping True North compass heading. The Facebook numbers have almost doubled in the last 24 months. This makes for new audiences and a lively vibe to go with the warriors. FYI, we also are on Twitter and our web is getting heavy attraction as well. Links to both Facebook and Twitter are on our waterfest.org page. Hop on! JS: The Leach Amphitheater is a fantastic setting in which to experience Waterfest. MD: The surface parking, park and river walk sparkle. The facility is in great shape and as a venue is best-in-class. No better place to enjoy music outside on a warm Wisconsin summer evening with all your friends, for the price of a movie ticket. JS: What else do concert goers need to know about Waterfest 31? MD: You can come and go as you please. Keep rain gear and extra layers in your car! The Season Pass discounts are unreal. Grab the deal! Come early, pay less, get more! Tailgate in the park! The River- side Park lots are fee based and usually have space if you are coming in late. Thank the folks at the gates and concessions. They are all volunteers making your night out pos- sible. It takes 120 volunteer each night to please you. Tip generously! This is the year to MAKE AMERICA ROCK AGAIN! Spread the word! And last but not least... be nice or leave. We are all out having a great time! Waterfest 31 in Oshkosh!

24  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION BY GEORGE HALAS Inquisitors want to know…and need to know….summer is happening in Neenah. Neenah StreetBall 3 on 3 turns 25 this year and Future Neenah, the non- profit that organizes the annual event, has planned some special activities to celebrate the occasion. The 25th Annual StreetBall 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament will be held on June 11th in the streets of Downtown Neenah. Approximately 1,200 players and over 10,000 spectators participate in this premier 3 on 3 tournament. Pamela Barnes, Event Coordinator for Future Neenah said, “StreetBall turning 25 is an amazing achievement. When I speak to players and fans they tell me how much playing or attending StreetBall is part of their summer tradition. It’s like a family reunion for a lot of these players.” Barnes indicated the hours of StreetBall will be extended to allow for additional celebration activities to commemorate 25 years of bringing competitive basketball to the streets of Neenah. “We’ll be celebrating StreetBall 25 by extending the fun into the evening with Neenah’s first ever StreetDance,” Barnes said. “Everyone is invited to a free concert by the popular Milwaukee-based band The Love Monkeys, and dance in the streets. The concert will take place in the 200 block of West Wisconsin Avenue from 5-9 p.m. Fox Valley Food Truck Association will be sponsoring a Food Truck Rally to add to the festive atmosphere. FoodTruck Rally sales begin at 5 p.m. and run through the concert. To cap off the 25th annual celebration, players and concert goers will be able to remain outside and purchase a specially brewed StreetBall 25 Lager created by Lion’s Tail Brewing Co. as they enjoy the concert. “We especially wanted to give our adult basketball players a chance to relax and reminiscence about their day of basketball triumphs,” Barnes said “by providing an opportunity for them to listen to great music by The Love Monkeys and enjoy a celebratory toast.” Additional StreetBall 25 activities include an Activity Court with contests open to all in attendance, the Bergstrom Shot for a Car Contest, FNB Fox Valley’s Bungee Slam-Dunk inflatables and activi- ties provided by The Building for Kids. *************************************** Neenah also offers two ways to enjoy great music outdoors and free-of-charge in beautiful and scenic Shattuck Park. The Out To Lunch Concert Series presented by Richard and Amy Jo Aylward happens on Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1p.m. and not only features some of the best local music, but food from different Neenah restaurants. Among those scheduled to appear include: Eddie Biebel, Kris Crow, Kyle Megna, Erin Krebs, Makena Hartlin, The Donnie Pick Trio, Phil Norby, The Oshkosh Rhythm Institute, The Michael Handler Project and Randy Peterson. The Evening Concert Series presented by Appleton International Airport takes place on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. Performers include: Wheelhouse, Boogie & The Yo-Yo’s, Mascot Theory, FBI and The Untouchable Horns, The Michael Handler Project and Ted Oliver Dueling Pianos. There’s plenty of free parking available, but also some places that no Inquisitor should park lest they be ticketed, so, for that valuable information and much more including featured restaurants and spon- sors, go to FutureNeenah.com and click on the “Concerts” tab. *************************************** Erin Krebs is releasing her highly- anticipated and long-awaited original music CD, “Love Always Wins,” at a CD Release Show and Party at Cena on Col- lege Ave in Appleton on Friday, June 3rd, from 9 to 11 p.m. For the event, she will add some of the Fox Valley’s best players including drummer Michael Underwood, bassist Justin Zopel and keyboards player Mark Martin-Kriha, “and some musical surprises” to Jeff Johnston’s always stellar guitar work and her distinctive vocals. *************************************** After months touring the Midwest, performing and appearing at many prominent venues, regional radio stations, television programs, and publications, the Kansas City-based Attic Light traveled to Nashville to record The EXILE EP with producer Dohse and the band will be spending the summer touring in sup- port of the record includ- ing a date in Green Bay at Kegger’s on June 16th. ************************** ************* 91.1 The Avenue is to be commended for the May 24th River Roots show at The Meyer Theater in Green Bay.  In addition to local roots and an affinity for superb songwriting, the three performing bands, headliner Dead Horses with Peridot as well as Kyle Megna and The Monsoons, extended the roots metaphor by showcas- ing their growth. All three kicked it up a notch over the past year. Among the changes Sarah Vos of Dead Horses talked about in last month’s SCENE, the addition of drums/percussion to the live shows give the band a lot of new options and areas of exploration both musically and energy- wise. Adding Ross Catterton’s soprano sax for the encore was not just inspired but opened the throttle to escape velocity. Peridot is more than just The Hillary Reynolds Band v.2; Reynolds and Trevor Jarvis have grown as songwriters and have more of a synergistic balance in the creation of the band’s sound and in their vocal harmonies. Kyle Megna’s growth has been both creative and numeri- cal. The addition of drummer Mike Underwood and key- boardist Noah Harmon to The Monsoons expanded Megna’s musical options while adding Catterton on saxophones and Kurt Shipe playing trumpet brings dimensions and energy that comple- mented without changing the essence and foundation of a very good live band. The Monsoons are like an NFL team that had four number one picks in a single draft who are all playing very well together with the veterans. Even cooler, all these bands are growing to get better.

26  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE BY BLAINE SCHULTZC In 1979 music was changing. In the Fox Valley, fans of underground music had few choices where to find the goods. WAPL featured a few hours of new music each week. Music that was not released on corporate-run major labels.  Record stores like The Mad Hat- teur in Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac, or Pipe Dreams in Appleton may get you a taste.  A gay bar might host a “New Wave Night.”  But mostly it was word of mouth from friends who traveled to big cities. Your best bet was two music magazines. These satellites were a pair of monthly publications. CREEM Magazine was based in Michigan and did a great job of covering much of the interesting music Rolling Stone had given up on. With a legendary stable of writers who were both witty (smart ass) and knowledgeable (smart), CREEM set a standard that many underground fanzines later aimed for.   A partial list of contributors includes Nick Tosches, Lester Bangs, R. Meltzer, Jaan Uhelszki, Susan Whitall, John Mendelsohn, Gregg Turner, Billy Altman, Robert Christgau, Ed Ward, Bill Hold- ship, John Kordosh and a bunch of others who were not slouches.  Trouser Press was based in NYC and had something of a British edge.  Led by the fearless Ira Robbins, along with Dave Schulps, a huge part of the magazine’s legacy was the Record Guides they published along with the monthly issues. These were invaluable sources of information.  But these magazines also offered another portal. The classified ads located in the back pages led to mail order lists of unknown LP’s, 45s and bootleg record- ings.  For budding record hounds, ground zero was shops like Bleeker Bob’s and Metro Music.  And a name that popped up often was the label Ork Records. According to guitarist Richard Lloyd, Atlantic Records’ Ahmet Ertegun said of Television, “I can’t sign this band. This is not earth music.”  If you can dig that, Ork Records: New York, New York (Numero Group) is a compilation just for you. The tentacles of this collection grow like a levia- than (Academic reference #1), with con- nections that are influencing music today. By 1975 The Velvet Underground and the New York Dolls had left their marks on a fecund and vibrant music scene that grew out of a Bowery bar called CBCG’s. A movie buff, Terry Ork had connections to this new music and began releasing records on his label as well as associated labels Shake, Fun, Lust/Unlust, Ice Water and Car, with the help of Charles Ball and Jon Tiven. Arguably the record this whole story is based upon is Ork’s release of Television’s groundbreaking  7-inch “Little Johnny Jewel, Parts 1 & 2,” an atmospheric blend of a riff and then a modal levitation. Ork would also be involved with the release of tracks by The Neon Boys (embryonic Tele- vision) and Richard Hell and the Voidoids (Television’s bassist gone solo).  Years before Patti Smith guitarist/ rock journalist Lenny Kaye compiled the ultimate punk collection Nuggets, he recorded his own garage record under the name Link Cromwell which is included here, and as an archival nod that holds its own.  Even Lester Bangs jumped the chasm form writer to artist with a chaotic blast that featured Voidoid Robert Quine. British journalist Mick Farren covered the Rolling Stones as well as a tune he co-wrote with Hawkwind’s Lemmy Kilmister. As evidence to the depth of talent, New York Dolls drummer Jerry Nolan’s band The Idols crank out a pair of cuts that could have been Dolls/Heartbreakers tracks. Likewise, Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome pulls a similar trick, and steps out on two cuts that could have passed for Dead Boys tunes. Lloyd, on vacation from Television reworks a pair of  Stones gems, “Connection,” and “Get Off My Cloud.” How deep was that well, you ask? Consider The Marbles...historically a footnote, their “Red Lights and Fire and Smoke” is about as close to a perfect 45 as you will find anywhere, any time, nailing a proto-power pop hook with a moody B-side. In 1977, a good decade before Alex Chilton became a Power Pop deity via Big Star, very few people realized (or even cared) he had already destroyed that albatross by recording “Bangkok,” a genius slice of demented rockabilly reduction, as well as the shambolic EP “The Singer Not the Song,” (Thanks Earwaves!). The evidence is here. The title cut of Chilton’s EP was to be included on a proposed Rolling Stones tribute album called “Sun Blotted From the Sky,” whose incomplete track list sug- gests it would have not only been the first, but the best in what would become a glut- ted and watered down cottage industry in the era of Alternative Rock.  Suspects included Television’s Richard Lloyd (“Connection/Get Off My Cloud”) and Mick Farren (“Play with Fire”). The Feelies would eventually release “Paint It Black,” on A&M Records in 1990. (Chilton once told me he was going to record “Like a Rolling Stone,” for the compilation, a comment that now seems to have been for his amusement.) Prix, a band based around Tiven, Tommy Hoehn and Big Star’s Chris Bell contribute a handful of tracks that sound like nothing less than outtakes from Big Before the Beginning -- Ork Records: New York, New York (Numero Group) Continue on Page 28

28  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE 922-4696 Call Ahead Use Our Pick-up Window 99 W. Pioneer Road•Fond du Lac HAPPY HOUR EVERYDAY 3-7pm Sporting Good Food SERVING BREAKFAST SATURDAY & SUNDAY from 11am-1pm Star’s Radio City.  (A full album of material was last to be released by HoZac Records.) By the early Eighties it had become pos- sible to track down some of these records.  I spent many hours digging through crates in record stores in Madison, Eau Claire, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.    Hearing this compilation pointed me to Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past  (Aca- demic reference #2).  Long gone places and events rushed back. The right song at the right time still works magic. The marketing of New Wave music and the success of MTV was in part shepherded by this music. Ork would remain an obscure point of reference, but the Feelies would later become something of a college radio favorite...here they contribute an early version of “Fe Ce la.” Perhaps the key to this whole collection is Chris Stamey,  a North Carolina native who was a huge Big Star and Television fan who came to NYC to play bass with Alex Chilton and also collaborated with Richard Lloyd. Stamey put out his own band, the dB’s records as well as one by The H-Bombs (which included future dB Peter Holsapple and Let’s Active’s Mitch Easter – both bud- dies from the Tarheel State.)    Stamey’s brilliant kitchen-sink produc- tion on his “If and When,” “I Thought You Wanted to Know,” and “Summer Sun,” are equaled by his witty lyrics. He still produces and releases fine records.  Stamey would also release “I Am the Cosmos,” Big Star founder Chris Bell’s final record before his tragic death in 1978. Arguably, the godfather of punk was Terry Ork, a gay, heroin-using, Jean Luc Godard-worshipping cinephile. Something of a B-level Andy Warhol, he swiped the term “New Wave,” from Godard and slapped it on the bands playing CBGB’s in the 1970s. The rest, as they say, is a shadowy his- tory...until now. Numero Group’s compilation Ork Records: New York, New York tells the story of ground zero for the Bowery scene in the cultural vacuum between hippiedom and punk. Continued from Page 26

30  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // IN BLOOM BY JILLIAN DAWSON From the outside, Riverview Gardens is probably most often associated as a beautiful venue for wedding receptions or one of the many vendors selling colorful produce in downtown Appleton’s Farmer’s Market. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find a resourceful team that has a green thumb for helping the community. Riverview Gardens began when they purchased the building in 2011. It sits atop 25 acres of organic farmland with a preserved park open to the public as well as community center that, partnered with Stone Cellar, hosts weddings and events. “It’s a pretty young organization overall. We’ve done a lot over the last four years,” notes Jane VanAuken, Director of Brand Management and Sales. In addition to the farmland, there is an apiary for the bees, 20 hoop houses and a 7500 square foot greenhouse over the former pool which allows the growth of bulk items that were not able to be done on the farm. One of the most notable s e r - v i c e s offered a t R i v - e r v i e w Gardens are opportunities for those in a transitional phase of their lives. “Most of the people in our groups are veterans,” says VanAuken. The Riverview Gardens staff works alongside those from the men and women’s COTS, the Ryan House and Harbor House teaching them job skills. “We aren’t teaching anyone to be a farmer or a baker. These are basic skills like how to get to work on time, work with your peers and how to take supervision. All the things that we take for granted, things they haven’t had before or lost over a period of time and need a refresher.” Each person is part of a 90 day training program with an evaluation at the 30, 60 and 90 day mark. After completion of the program, they assist them with resumes and employment, working with over 80 local employers for job placement. Last year they hoped to assist 150 people and reached nearly 260. “The need is definitely there,” says VanAuken. .” Jobs include maintenance around the grounds, setting up and tearing down for events and seeding, washing and p a c k i n g vegetables for Commu- nity Supported A g r i c u l t u r e (CSA). Their newest endeavor is the Riverview Gardens store, located at 513 W. College Avenue in downtown Appleton. The store features fresh produce from the gardens including honey and baked goods made from their own ingredients. Additionally, they feature baked goods from Happy Bellies bakery, which offers gluten free options, coffee from Acoca Coffee and wifi. A ‘Pay-It-Forward’ board allows people to purchase an extra cup of coffee or bakery that can be redeemed by someone in need. Keeping on par with the Garden location, the store is run by volunteers and those learning job skills. “This gives us another outlet to do some more outsourcing with people with a great location close to public transpor- tation.” While R i ver vie w G a r d e n s h a s a n emphasis on assisting veter- ans, Van Auken notes, “We want this to be a comfortable and safe place for people to come. Everyone is welcome.” The store houses several floors and leas- ing opportunities for other programs. The Fox Valley Humane Association plans to do Pets for Vets on the lower level, which partners rehabilitated dogs with veterans to fit their needs. Fox Valley Tech is also bringing outreach and basic adult educa- tion to the College Avenue store and an organization out of Minneapolis that assists autistic individuals has a pending lease as well. Additionally, a dedicated group of volunteers work on bicycles for Riverview Gardens. “Not having transportation is a major barrier for people. They can work for 15 hours and earn a bike.” Each bike comes with a helmet, lock, light and free repairs for life. Riverview Gardens will no longer have a stand at the Appleton Farmer’s Market and will instead sell their produce out of the store on College Avenue. Produce will be available in store throughout the week with the bulk of their items for sale on Satur- day. Fea- t u r e d w i l l b e e v e r y - t h i n g from Farm- er’s Market staples such as tomatoes and cucumbers to more unique fare such as living lettuce, dragon beans and eggplant.

If it has strings he can make it sing, and in this amazing final show, he brings an array of friends to the stage to sing you into fall. 2016 FISHSTOCK Music Series Concert Schedule BY MICHAEL CASPER Door County’s most beloved music venue isn’t a bar, an auditorium, or a clas- sic theater, but a 100-year-old dairy barn nestled among fields in the middle of the peninsula. Dr. Steve Ellmann is the jack-of-all liason. He’s been in bands since he was eleven, played trumpet for the Norfolk Symphony while attending the Virginia School of Music, he’s toured Europe with an 18-piece big band. “I’ve been involved with music my entire life,” Dr. Ellmann said “it makes my soul feel better.” Years ago, Dr. Ellmann, who at the time was managing a bar in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, would hire his father’s Dixie- land Jazz band to play over the Memorial and Labor Day holidays. “And we jammed the place,” Ellmann said. “Until I decided to find and hire six Dixieland musicians to come and play at the bar, six nights a week. I immediately needed a place for them to stay. So I found an old farm house with eight bedrooms, six for the band members and two for my bartenders. One of the bartenders was my brother, David.” Steve eventually pursued his PhD, while his brother ‘bought the farm.’ “He turned the house and some of the out-buildings into a summer residence for kids that worked for the county,” Ellmann said. “Over time, local folk groups and musicians would do impromtu shows in the barn for whatever they could make by passing the hat.” Then one year David threw a Labor Day weekend party. “It was for all the kids that had worked up there all summer,” Ellmann said “not just at his place, but throughout the county. For 5-bucks a head there were all the brats and corn on the cob you could eat, and all the beer you could drink, and music until everybody fell down (laugh).” It eventually became slightly more Fishstock Fills the Barn Sunday nights at Camp David Party Barn All shows start at 7 pm 3127 County Road F, Fish Creek, WI 54212 fishstockmusic.com Continue on Page 8

And I’ve been doing the sound since the inception, and producing the shows at what’s known as ‘Camp David.’ David booked the bands and organized things. It’s a family affair. My mother, until she passed away last November, used to bring flowers for all the concerts and decorate the stage. My sister Carol has now taken over flower duty.” In July, the Fishstock Concert Series at Camp David Party Barn will begin its 21st season of bringing acclaimed musi- cians to the most unconventional of stages. Established favorites like Memphis picking extraordinaire Eric Lewis and songwriter Chris Irwin return, joined by the likes of jazz virtuoso Janet Planet and the acoustic swing of Mal-O-Dua. “I’m really excited about this lineup, with favorites returning and some new blood invigorating the stage,” Ellmann said. “We’re maintaining the vibe and aesthetic of the place that people love, that makes it so special, but with some new sounds to attract new audiences and some new technical advancements to make it easier for people to attend.” The Fishstock Concert Series gave bluegrass and folk music a Door County platform two decades ago, introducing acts from around the country to Door County audiences in a barn where the setting sun squeezes through cracks in the barnwood. Musicians like Lewis, Tommy Burroughs, Jimmy Davis, and Karen Mal have since become staples of the penin- sula’s music scene with a genre rarely heard before the venue with a funny name opened its doors to them. “We do a regular season,” Ellmann said “musicians come from all over the country to play and sing... it’s a unique singer/songwriter venue.” None of the people who work at Camp David get paid. “We don’t have any big money behind us,” Ellmann said “we either make it at the door, or it comes out of my pocket. We’re competing for the audiences who go to other local free concerts that are funded by the room tax dollars. We’re trying real hard to make it survive.” Fishstock is even becoming higher tech by now selling tickets in advance online for the first time. Follow the signs down the gravel drive- way off County Road F and Maple Grove Road just east of Fish Creek. Park in the field where you’re welcome to tailgate. You’ll find seating in the barn for 150, and more room outside under a newly built over-hang roof, over the slab in the barn- yard where they will video-project the show going on inside on the side of the barn. They offer free Collectivo Coffee, and soda, and tea. “Or you can bring a bottle of wine,” Ellmann said “maybe a cigar, hangout and enjoy the music.” To learn more about Fishstock, see the 2016 concert schedule, and buy tickets, visit fishstockmusic.com or find it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/fishstock- music.

    BY GEORGE HALAS Itis often said that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. On Saturday, June 11th and Sunday, June 12th, there is an opportunity to make it a two-fer as The 8th Annual Oshkosh Irish Fest returns to The Leach Amphitheater. The festival has grown in popularity and has been voted “Best Local Festival” five times in the Reader’s Choice Poll con- ducted by The Oshkosh Northwestern. “You don’t have to be Irish to have fun. Everyone is welcome,” said Matt Miller, founder and president of Irish Fest. “It’s a great opportunity to try ethnic foods, learn about the culture – we have vendors who sell everything from Irish jewelry to kilts - and listen to some wonderful festive music.” Oshkosh Irish Fest is a family-friendly event that benefits local charities, to date, over $140,000 has been raised. It features Irish entertainment and activities for the entire family including Irish and Celtic music, Irish dance groups, demonstrations on Irish sports and a variety of cultural information displays. “We highlight the impact the Irish have had on northeast Wisconsin,” Miller said. “After German, Irish is the second- largest ancestry in the area.” In addition to two days of fun, the festival contributes to the greater good. “We are most proud of the number of volunteers involved, the amount of money raised for local charities and what we are giving back to the city,” Miller said. “Restaurants, shops, hotels and pubs all benefit.” For the wee ones, there is Little Lepre- chaun Land with inflatables for the kids. The ever-popular band Gaelic Storm – you may recall them from the movie, “Titantic” - will headline, and are joined during the two days by many other of the “best Irish and Celtic,” live bands and dancers including Leahy’s Luck, Ken- nedy’s Kitchen, Ian Gould, and more. The World Champion Trinity Irish Dancers will perform on Saturday before they leave for their tour in Belgium and the Netherlands. “The Trinity Irish Dancers have won multiple world championships,” Miller said. “They are comparable to the Broad- way show, River Dance.” Local Oshkosh celebrities will partici- pate in curroch races on the river. “A curroch is an ancient Celtic wooden boat,” Miller said. The festival kicks off with a 5K Run/ Walk that starts and ends at The Leach. “It’s a timed run, but it’s also just a fun run as well,” Miller said. All participants in the 5K Run/Walk – it costs $20 to pre-register and $25 the day of – get a free T-shirt and free admis- sion to the festival. “If you pre-register at any RunAway Shoe Store, you will also get a free bever- age of your choice,” Miller added. One of the unique features of the fes- tival is provided by The Irish Wolfhound Club. “All Irish-breed dogs are invited to the festival,” Miller said. “The Irish wolf- hounds are on display and are there to pet and play with. They’re pretty impressive. They’re like horses.” All of the events proceeds go to charity, but Miller notes that “if you pre-register, you can save some money.” To pre-register for tickets go to any RunAway Shoe Store or get tickets online at: oshkoshirishfest.com Returns to the Leach ENTERTAINMENT // OSHKOSH IRISH FEST 10  |  SceneNewspaper.com  | June 2016

The 11th annual Heid Music Summer Concert series, and the 5th annual Lunchtime Live! series. “Every year, we try to make each series the best we can,” said ADI Marketing Director Anne Wiegman. “The lineups are a mix of returning favorites with some of the best up-and-coming bands. ADI is very proud to offer as many free events as pos- sible every year and we are committed to doing that in the future. We want to make arts and music accessible to everyone.” The Heid Music Summer Concerts Series features many of Wisconsin’s best bands every Thursday evening through September 1st. Houdini Plaza will be the place for music three Thursdays each month; the series moves to Jones Park along the riverfront for Vic Ferrari Sym- phony on The Rocks on June 23rd, 2016 WAMI Cover Artist of The Year Boogie and The Yo-Yo’s on July 28th and perennial favorite Boxkar on August 25th. “Last year was the first time we were able to offer Vic Ferrari Symphony on The Rocks for free and it was very popular, so we are very happy to do it again this year,” Wiegman said. “Without selling tickets, it’s hard to say how many people were there, but it was wall-to-wall concertgoers.” Like last year, the band will include The HD Horns – Ken Skitch on trombone, Jack Naus on trumpet and Chris Felts playing all kinds of sax and flutes, but “the set list will be 30% different than last year,” said Mike Bailey, Vic Ferrari vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. “We now have 50 to 60 different arrangements. It’s a luxury for us that we can play that many new songs.” Based on last year’s record crowd – “we heard many numbers,” Bailey said – the sound system will be beefed up to ensure that everyone is treated to the full Sym- phony on The Rocks experience. “We’ve got to play for the people who are 10 feet in front of us and the people who are 500 feet away,” he emphasized. “We want to connect with everybody. The cool thing about last year was that every- one congregated in one place for one night. Not all the people were there to see the band; some were there to see their friends and be part of a great crowd. I like that – it’s kinda cool.” RPM opens the series at Houdini Plaza on June 2nd, The Jimmys will be there June 9th and, in response to requests for some country, Grand Union plays on June 16th, and Unity the Band on the 30th. In July, Houdini will host Ask Your Mother on July 7th, The Love Monkeys on July 14th, and The Cool Waters Band on July 21st. Mistrial hits Houdini on August 11th, Road Trip will be featured on August 18th and WAMI People’s Choice Award winner Spicy Tie Band wraps the series up on September 1st. On August 4th, the Heid Music series will partner with Mile of Music to show- case at Houdini Plaza some of the artists and bands coming to Appleton from four countries and 26 states. Lunchtime Live offers more than just great music. “The lunch time series has grown in popularity but is still an underutilized resource,” Wiegman noted. “It’s a great opportunity to get away from the office to do some brainstorming or just take a nice break by yourself.” Wiegman also pointed out that ven- dors will be on site selling food for both the lunch and evening series, “or you can grab some take-out from one of the many nearby restaurants.” The Lunchtime Live concerts take place in Houdini Plaza on Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ADI has assembled a star-studded lineup featuring a number of fast-rising artists with newly released CD’s of original music. Tom Winch gets the party started on June 2nd, followed by a Street Music Week Feature Artist, Red Verses on June 9th, Vic Ferrari guitarist and vocalist Russ Reiser on the 16th, John Lambert on the 23rd and Dr. Dobbe on June 30th. Street Music Week is  June 6-10, and during this annual fundraiser, musi- cians play outside storefronts from noon until 1pm and donate all tips to Feeding America.  Every $1 donation provides three meals for those in need. July gets hot with Tim Dorsey on July 7th and Patchouli on the 14th. The Erin and Jeff Duo (Krebs and Johnston) will perform songs off their new CD on July 21st and Blake Welhouse plays on the 28th. Peridot brings its original music and new EP to Houdini on August 4th, Miss Molly will bring “Snow” on the 11th, Eddie Biebel plays on the 18th, multiple WAMI-nominee Kyle Megna performs his original music on the 25th and Timber- Moon Bluegrass closes the season out on September 1st. In addition to Heid Music, both series receive support from BMO Harris Bank, Mill Creek, General Beer, WI Distribu- tors, Habash, Habash and Rottier S.C., IPS Testing, Fox Cities Signs & Lighting, Tundraland, AZCO Inc., Atrium Health & Senior Living, West Corporation, and Festival Foods. ADI is a non-profit advocacy source for businesses and merchants in Downtown Appleton and Wiegman points out that “Downtown Appleton has eighteen live music venues to enjoy year-round, but many of the venues move their music to the outdoors during summer for even greater enjoyment!” For more information on ADI summer events, go to appletondowntown.org with Two Free Music Series

Located in Custer, Wisconsin, seven miles east of Stevens Point, nestled in the heart of central Wisconsin, surrounded by rolling hills, lakes, trout streams, and beautiful woodlands. Custer has been the home of The Energy Fair since 2002. The Fair features over 250 workshops and over 200 exhibitors, with live music, inspiring keynotes, and activities for the whole family. Hosted by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association in Central Wisconsin, The Energy Fair is the longest- running event of its kind in the nation. Allison Lindquist is the events coordi- nator of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association. “As always we have a great line up of keynote speakers,” Lindquist said “includ- ing Nomi Prins a political-financial expert, journalist and author. Prins is widely sought-after for her unique perspective on politics, finance, and the economy. She’ll be speaking on how regulations can help push policies forward to benefit the public, and speaking to energy and campaign finance and energy policies specifically.” John Farrell is also scheduled as a keynote speaker. Farrell is Director of Democratic Energy at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. “In recent years there has been a lot of excitement over renewable energy,” Lindquist said “with the cost of solar coming down, and battery technology improving. John will talk on distributing energy on a local level and becoming more energy-independent.” And Sandrine Mubenga, who is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of SMIN Power Group which has offices in the DRC and in the USA and specializes in providing affordable electricity to com- munities using renewable energies (par- ticularly solar including hydroelectricity, fuel cell, biomass, wind, etc). Currently, Sandrine is the  Electrical Engineering Manager at the University of Toledo. “Sandrine recently traveled abroad,” Lindquist said “having taught those who did not have access to harnessing solar energy, the means to do so.” Just some of the workshops available include Advanced Fuel Vehicles Using Electric and Natural Gas with Chris Schneider of Honda Motorwerks where you’ll learn how electric and natural gas vehicles can merge alternatives into the most advanced fuel vehicles: Hydrogen powered, Fuel Cell Vehicles. Get an introduction into cordwood construction with Richard and Becky Flatau who built their mortgage-free cordwood home thirty-seven years ago in northern Wisconsin. Since then, as direc- tors of Cordwood Construction Resources, LLC, they have written books, taught workshops and pioneered the use of best practices with cordwood construction, a home building technique that uses natural materials and encourages planet-friendly choices. Outstanding visual examples of best practice homes/cottages/cabins will reveal the latest successful builds. And there are workshops for all ages. David Stokes, through the use of short songs, riddles, sign-language, live animals, biofacts (animal artifacts), puppets, and humor, will examine our Animal Adapta- tions.

He sings and engages audiences of all ages in nature study. Using live creatures and animal artifacts, songs, and short stories, David gets down with his audiences, and makes learning fun. “In all we have around 280 workshops planned,” Lindquist said. “New this year are the vehicles provid- ing clean transportation, examples of the improve- ments being made and the recent technology advances, like electric bikes! Plus there will be a couple Teslas on the grounds.” Christina Nichols, Senior Executive Technical Advisor for the SunShot Initiative, will speak about Solar Ready Vets. “The Solar Ready Vets program con- nects our nation’s skilled veterans to the solar energy industry,” Lindquist said “preparing them for careers as solar pho- tovoltaic (PV) system installers, inspectors, sales reps, and other solar-related occupa- tions. Solar Ready Vets is enabled by the U.S. Department of Defense’s SkillBridge initiative, which allows exiting military personnel to pursue civilian job training, employment skills training, apprentice- ships, and internships up to six months prior to their separation.” There will be plenty to see, do and learn at this year’s fair. “A couple years ago we built a wood- fired pizza oven during the fair,” Lindquist said “we’ll be talking about the process of how-to build one of your own, and we’ll also be baking sour dough pizzas in the one we built. Plus, Saturday night there will be a band playing. They’re called Phox, and are an up-and-coming group out of Baraboo.” There is a pre-fair guide available online and in print.

    16  |  SceneNewspaper.com | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // GREEN LAKE FESTIVAL OF MUSIC BY MICHAEL CASPER In 1979, the choral director and voice teacher at Ripon College, David Morris, had a dream of creating a music festi- val. He and community members from Green Lake, Ripon and the Fox Valley got together and made it a reality. By the summer of 1982 Morris had invited the renowned choral conductor, Sir David Willcocks, to lead a weeklong choral workshop during the festival. “That was an important part in the early days of the festival,” Laura Deming, executive director of the Green Lake Festi- val of Music said. “The vision and mission of the founders was always to provide high quality classical music to an area that didn’t have its own professional music group like say, the Milwaukee Symphony. Thirty- seven years ago the kinds of concerts we perform now, were rare. These concerts and performances take place right here in this gorgeous resort town of Green Lake, as well as events held at Ripon College, and in Oshkosh.” There are four segments to the Festival of Music. “One is the concert series,” Deming said “which usually starts the season fea- turing young artists. On June 10th the Trio Lago Verde, which translated means ‘Green Lake Trio,’ who are comprised of musicians who met at the chamber music camp last year, will perform. They are 13 and 14 years old.” The second segment is the Chamber Music Camp. “It’s a very intensive two-week experi- ence for kids from all over the world,” Deming said “in the past we’ve had young musicians from Syria, Mexico, Canada... this truly is an international camp.” Auditions are held, and the kids are selected by the Festival’s artistic director Tom Rosen- berg who himself is an accomplished cellist from St. Paul, Min- nesota. Rosenberg is also artistic director of the prestigious Fischoff Chamber Music Com- petition. “Tom knows a lot of people in ‘world’ of chamber music,” Deming said “and draws the highest level of stu- dents to come here. He himself went through a very highly regarded chamber music program when he was a student, and now some of his colleagues come to Green lake and serve as faculty members.” The third branch of the Festival is the Choral Institute. “Singers from all around the country and world,” Deming said “performing the great choral works with the chamber orchestra after four days of workshops, and rehearsals.” The Festival’s fourth segment is a series of free concerts performed at local public libraries. “It’s all underwritten by a wonderful donor, Thomas Caestecker,” Deming said “a fifth generation Green Lake resident, the son of a professional violinist. The Caestecker family has been very gener- ous having helped fund the building of the Green Lake Public Library. The Caestecker’s have an art gallery within Ripon College with their name on it, and every year Thomas brings the Milwaukee Symphony to Ripon College. He too had a dream. And his was to bring free con- certs to families, and kids. So we do six library concerts in Green Lake, Princeton, Berlin, Fond du Lac, Ripon and Oshkosh. He underwrites three of the concerts, and we also get a generous contribution from Oberreich Foundation in Fond du Lac. And in Oshkosh, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation helps sponsor the library concert, so we have really wonder- ful support for the free family concerts, but Tom Caestecker started it all with his funding.” One important performance of the many on the summer schedule is on Wednesday, July 13th. “The Fauré Requiem,” Deming said “with a mass choir of singers from area choruses such as New Voices in Appleton with Dr. Philip Swan, Oshkosh Chamber Singers with Herb Berendsen, South Shore Chorale with Cory Schneider in Fond du Lac, Ripon Choral Union with Dr. John Hughes, and others from Beaver Dam, Madison, Milwaukee, and beyond.  Dr. Stephen Alltop of the famed Chicago Apollo Chorus will conduct the chorus and chamber orchestra in composer John Rutter’s arrangement.  If people would like to sing, they can sign up at the Festival website greenlakefestival.org or call the office at 920-748-9398.” It’s a free concert at First Congrega- tional Church in Oshkosh at 7:30 p.m.  “It’s in memory of conductor Sir David Willcocks and organist John Scott,” Deming said  “Sir David led the Green Lake Festival of Music Choral Institute for 20 years, from1982 - 2002, and John Scott was organ soloist and choral accompanist during the Choral Institute’s early years.” Laura Deming, who is also professional cellist with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, will be in the orchestra. The list of June Master Classes also lead to some brilliant performances. “They are very interesting,” Deming said “because basically they become private lessons in front of live audiences. There’s a student who volunteers to play whatever he or she is working on, and then the ‘master’ or the teacher gives them a lesson on the piece. It’s a wonderful way for the students to learn as it can be more difficult when you’re on the ‘hot seat’ as opposed to just watching. You can learn so much from seeing another person demonstrate, and it’s very exciting when the teacher has something that immediately improves a performance.” There are violin, viola, cello, and piano master classes. “And the Calidore String Quartet gives a master class on string quartets,” she said. Also coming in July is Christopher Taylor, an international concert pianist who happens to teach at UW Madison. “We’re very lucky to have him close by,” Deming said “and we look forward to his performing a senior’s matinee concert that will include a lunch at the Heidel House, and then an evening concert at the Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake.” The list of entertainment over the summer also includes the Boston Barn Concert....yes, a concert in a barn, V3NTO (correct spelling) a brass trio who are young, talented players unique in their interaction with the audience, and a Caba- ret night at the Thrasher that features a mix of opera arias and show tunes with Stephen Alltop accompanying on piano. “And we also have a German a cappella group coming back,” Deming said “called Calmus who were here in 2011. Oh my gosh, I’ve never heard such singing! Calmus is comprised of four men and one woman, and they are simply fun.” Even if you attended only half of what’s scheduled for the Green Lake Festival of Music, you’re guaranteed not just fun, but entertainment, inspiration, and maybe even some edification.

    18  |  SceneNewspaper.com | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // CONCERT WATCH Jimmy Webb BY JANE SPIETZ Acclaimed songwriter, composer, and singer Jimmy Webb’s successful career has spanned over four decades. His best known works include platinum-selling classics like “Up, Up and Away,” “Galves- ton,” “Wichita Lineman,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “The Worst that Could Happen,” “All I Know,” and “MacArthur Park.” He received the Grammy Award for Song of the Year (“Up, Up and Away”) in 1997. Webb is the only artist to ever receive Grammy awards for music, orchestration, and lyrics. His songs have been performed or recorded by numerous artists, including Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, Elvis Pres- ley, Art Garfunkel, Judy Collins, and Frank Sinatra. These days Webb is touring extensively and will be putting out a new album in the near future. He just finished his memoir, titled “The Cake in the Rain” after the lyrics from his hit “MacArthur Park.” The book is to be released in 2017. He states that he is as busy now as when he was 19. I recently reached Jimmy at his home on Long Island. JANE SPIETZ: How much of an influence was the church atmosphere where your father served as pastor on your early songwriting? JIMMY WEBB: I don’t think you can overestimate it really. My mother decided I was going to be church pianist when I was six years old. That’s where music came into my life in a very forceful way. We had a contract. I would play the piano half an hour a day and she wouldn’t hit me with a stick. So, with that kind of a regimen behind me, by the time I was 12 years old, I was church pianist. I used to go out with my father on evangelical missions in the summertime and tent revivals and open air revivals. He would show me off because I could play pretty good for a kid. I really got my first taste of show business with my dad. I made the connection with the offer- ing plate. I’m not trying to be disrespectful but there is an element of religion that is definitely show business. It has some of the same dynamics. You are performing in front of crowds. You have to do well. If you do well, then you’re rewarded. JS: What was it like to meet Glen Campbell for the first time? JW: It was a little bit strange. I heard my first Glen Campbell record when I was 14, which was “Turn Around.” My fond- est wish, and I used to pray about it, was to be allowed to write a song that’s good enough and let me one of these days, if you can work it in Lord, let me meet Glen Campbell. By the time I was 18, we had a hit on the radio called “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” Somebody came up with this idea for us to do a commercial for General Motors. I wrote a jingle, kind of a song. Glen agreed to the terms of his contract. All I wanted was their offer of three free Corvettes in row. We met in the studio the day of that recording session. He looked me over. I had recently been to the Mon- terey Pop Festival. My hair was down to my armpits. I was like a complete hippie. He was coiffed, and he wore tight jeans. He was a boy toy. I walked up in front of him, stuck out my hand, and said “Hi Mr. Campbell, I’m Jimmy Webb.” For a while he pretended that I wasn’t there. Finally he looked up at me and said, “when you gonna to get a haircut?” (Laughs) JS: As late as 2012, you and Glen were doing concerts together. JW: In 2012, we played a concert hall in Indianapolis. We also played the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nash- ville that year. In 2013, he recorded his last Jimmy Webb song which was a song called “Wish You Were Here” (“Postcard from Paris”). That was on an album that was produced by someone else. That was a song that we had wanted to do for the best part of 20 years, we’d wanted to cut it. Seemed like something would always come up and get in the way. Finally he was able to do it. Glen did a beautiful job. It’s kinda sad that there has to be a last time, but at least it was the last song that we did together. That makes me happy. We went out the same way we came in. JS: One of your most famous composi- tions, “Galveston,” was a huge hit for Glen Campbell. What is your interpretation of the meaning behind the song? JW: The song was written during the Vietnamese conflict. It’s about a soldier who is thinking about home, cleaning his weapon, going about the mundane activi- ties that soldiers engage in most of the time and dreaming of this woman that he loves. He is profoundly wishing and hoping that he is able to get back to her in one piece. It’s just a universal message. A lot of people who have done their military service in Vietnam know exactly what the song means. A fellow came up to me and said, “I want to thank you for writing that song. That helped me get through a traumatic time in my life.” It happens all the time. It’s always touching; it’s always a little bit heartbreaking. I put everything I could into that song because I was so opposed to the war. I thought it was ridiculous war, WHAT: Jimmy Webb WHERE: Thrasher Opera House, Green Lake WI WHEN: 7:30 PM Saturday, June 11, 2016 COST: $29 INFO: www.jimmywebb.com thrasheroperahouse.com ©2014-Bob-Barry Continue on Page 20

And you have that awesome black wall in Washington with all those names on it. To me, it’s always been one of the saddest things in life. I didn’t go. I was deferred because of medical issues. But I could’ve easily ended up there. It could’ve been me. So when one of those guys comes up and says something like that, it’s really hard to choke back the tears. Because here’s the person who lived that experience and held onto something that I created that seems rather unsubstantial. The song is three minutes long, it’s got a few words, a few notes. In many, many ways it’s sort of a triviality, but these songs meant so much to these guys. It makes me feel a lot better about what I do for a living. To have some redeeming social value. JS: You and Richard Harris had a won- derful partnership in the creation of the huge hit “MacArthur Park.” What was it like to work with Richard? JW: The first time I met him he was directing an antiwar pageant. There were a bunch of Hollywood movie stars there like Edward G. Robinson, Walter Pigeon, Bob Mitchum, Jean Simmons, so many, including Mia Farrow and some of the younger kids. They are doing readings, poetry, and little scenes. They were all taken from literature dealing with war and the unpleasantness of war, the tragedy of war. I was sent over there to provide back- ing music. Richard was the director. He was just this mad Irishman re-creating the origin of mankind and swinging around on ropes from platform to platform like Tarzan. After the gig, he would say (using a Richard Harris voice), “Ah, Jimmy Webb, tonight we need to go out and have some black velvets.” I had no idea what a black velvet was. We go out in and an hour later I was lying on the floor seeing the galaxy spinning. A black velvet is half Guinness and half champagne. It just clobbers you and puts you away for the night. One night out I said, “Richard, we should make a record.” And he said, “Ah, Jimmy Webb, you’re right! We should make a record!” I got a telegram from him a few weeks later from London saying, “Dear Jimmy Webb - come to London to make a record. Richard.” That was it. He sent tickets, I got on the 707, took the polar flight to London. The next thing I knew we are making a record and other things. We toured Ireland. We set out to have a drink in every county in Ireland. I think we made seven counties before that fell apart of its own immensity. We became the best pals you could ever imagine. For many years we were very close. We made two excellent records together and then he began to branch out on his own. In my catalog of unforgettable characters, Richard is very close to the top! When he left us, he left this gigantic, vacant void. JS: Jimmy, you will be performing at the historic Thrasher opera house in Green Lake, Wisconsin on Saturday, June 11. JW: It will be an evening of entertain- ment. It’s for everybody. It’s for all colors, all religions, all ages. It’s a fun show. It’s basically about fun. It’s anecdotal - I tell a lot of stories. Most of them are very funny, I like to think. I guarantee an hour and a half of hits. And it’s the background behind those hits. It’s how those songs came to be and how they influenced certain artists that I’ve worked with. It’s meant to entertain. I remember the Thrasher very well. It’s a beautiful little jewel. I’m very excited about coming back. Continued form Page 18

    22  |  SceneNewspaper.com | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // WATERFEST 31 BY JANE SPIETZ Summer is almost here and so is Water- fest! Recently I connected with Waterfest president Mike Dempsey to get the scoop on the 31st season of the popular Oshkosh summer concert series. JANE SPIETZ: Mike, the musical lineup for Waterfest 31 is incredible! How did you manage to bring in so many top acts this year? MIKE DEMPSEY: This is the summer to MAKE AMERICA ROCK AGAIN!, isn’t it? Our sponsors and donors challenged us to deliver a game-changing line up that continues to distinguish Waterfest as ‘Wis- consin’s Best Community Concert Series.’ So we beefed up the headliner budget, but not at the expense of introducing some new artists to the area and providing local and regional musicians the opportunity to be featured as well. JS: You start off with Styx! MD: And slide guitar virtuoso Sonny Landreth on June 16th. Teachers are FREE on opening night with School ID! On June 23rd, we rock to 38 Special and former Cowboy Mouth founder Paul San- chez and his all Star New Orleans Rolling Road Show. For July 14th, we reloaded big with progressive rockers Kansas with their special guest Henry Gross. On July 23rd, George Thorogood and The Destroyers roll into the Leach Amphitheater on their Badder Than Ever Tour. Sounds a little Spinal Tapish as a tour title, but Waterfest fans are lapping up that booking based upon the early feedback. JS: Then on August 4th, you start a five consecutive week run. MD: On August 11th, we have Rock Roll Hall of Famer Eric Burdon and The Animals, which retooled at full throttle. His tour is getting rave reviews during his Australian leg of the world tour. August 18th is a 5 way package starting at 5PM featuring The Wallflowers & Blues Traveler headlining. G. Love and Special Sauce, as well as Howie Day, are on the bill too! The Sept 1st finale’ features Toto with some of the best musicians ever to enter a recording studio. We have a few more to announce. Check out waterfest.org for updates and details. JS: Waterfest is known for its “nug- gets.” Which “nuggets” should we be on the lookout for this summer? MD: Sonny Landreth on opening night is a mind blower if you are a guitar or blues fan. The Tin Men return from New Orleans to open June 23rd at 5:30 PM, dishing out Bourbon Street high and low rent ear candy. Henry Gross is tucked in to open July 14th. You might remember his #1 ‘70s hit about Carl Wilson’s dog “Shannon” stuck in your head. He was also a founding member of Sha Na Na, having played Woodstock while in college. Then we have both the R&B Cadets and The Suitcase Junket back-to-back on July 23rd. The Cadets are a reformed Milwaukee super group doing a handful of fest dates this summer and they gave us a date! We also picked off one of The Mile of Music crowd-pleasers in The Suitcase Junket on his way to Canada August 4th. Amasa Hines is another 2016 Mile of Music group offered to be dropping in on Waterfest as a rising star quintet. The Davis Rogan Band makes his way north from The Big Easy or some road house romp. Davis was the featured character in the HBO series TREME. We have Boston rocker Sarah Borges and The Broken Singles opening the dance floor at 5PM on Aug 18th. Her new release, “A Tendency To Riot” lets the cat out of the bag, so get there for Sarah’s set. Then on September 1st, we have rising star blues sensation Matthew Curry and The Fury. Think Jonny Lang meets Stevie Ray Vaughan. JS: Talk about the pricing and admis- sion policy for 2016. MD: With the beefed up roster we thought we should reward the Waterfest Warriors who attend 5 or more times a season. So we have a General Admission Season pass that gets you in for less than $12 a night on sale now for $100. Better yet we have a Reserved Patio Access VIP Season Pass that gets you up front and per- sonal for less than $17 a night now on sale for $150. The Season Passes allow you to come and go at any time all night. We will also have a FAST LANE for Season Pass holders for getting in. The single night VIP Admission are also heavily discounted at $30 most nights for shows that would cost $50-200 or more for that kind of access. General Admission is tiered, rewarding early birds. On some nights admission is as low as $10 if you are in line by 6PM! Veterans are free all season. Kids under 12 are as well when they bring a parent. Don’t forget teachers are free opening night with school ID! JS: What will be included with the expanded VIP option? MD: The Reserved Area Patio Access will be there waiting for you. There will be less crowd press and you can wiggle up front or kick back in some space within 100 feet, effectively a 20 row distance, of center stage. There is a dedicated cash bar with wine and craft beers and porta pot- ties when you need them. While we do not allow chairs in the reserved area, some fans bring them and set up on the grass to chill. They come and go as they please. Those in the VIP area also can take pride in helping to keep General Admission to Waterfest affordable and as inclusive to the community as possible. JS: Where can VIP and General Admis- sion Season passes be purchased? MD: Call the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce at 920-303-2265 x22 or drop in at the Chamber. Bank First in Oshkosh, Appleton, and Green Bay also have them. We do suggest getting them in advance. However, will-call at the Leach Amphitheater is also sell- ing them on opening night June 16 and again on June 23 starting at 4:30PM. JS: As of today, the Waterfest Facebook page has grown to 6430 members! It remains a very valuable communication tool for fans. It’s always interesting and informative to view all of the shares and comments. MD: Yes, the fans are feisty and engaged as well. They really let us have it when we disappoint or fail to communi- cate on such matters as acts, admission prices, food and beverage offerings, and so on. We listen, and it is important to our keeping True North compass heading. The Facebook numbers have almost doubled in the last 24 months. This makes for new audiences and a lively vibe to go with the warriors. FYI, we also are on Twitter and our web is getting heavy attraction as well. Links to both Facebook and Twitter are on our waterfest.org page. Hop on! JS: The Leach Amphitheater is a fantastic setting in which to experience Waterfest. MD: The surface parking, park and river walk sparkle. The facility is in great shape and as a venue is best-in-class. No better place to enjoy music outside on a warm Wisconsin summer evening with all your friends, for the price of a movie ticket. JS: What else do concert goers need to know about Waterfest 31? MD: You can come and go as you please. Keep rain gear and extra layers in your car! The Season Pass discounts are unreal. Grab the deal! Come early, pay less, get more! Tailgate in the park!

    24  |  SceneNewspaper.com | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION BY GEORGE HALAS Inquisitors want to know…and need to know….summer is happening in Neenah. Neenah StreetBall 3 on 3 turns 25 this year and Future Neenah, the non- profit that organizes the annual event, has planned some special activities to celebrate the occasion. The 25th Annual StreetBall 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament will be held on June 11th in the streets of Downtown Neenah. Approximately 1,200 players and over 10,000 spectators participate in this premier 3 on 3 tournament. Pamela Barnes, Event Coordinator for Future Neenah said, “StreetBall turning 25 is an amazing achievement. When I speak to players and fans they tell me how much playing or attending StreetBall is part of their summer tradition. It’s like a family reunion for a lot of these players.” Barnes indicated the hours of StreetBall will be extended to allow for additional celebration activities to commemorate 25 years of bringing competitive basketball to the streets of Neenah. “We’ll be celebrating StreetBall 25 by extending the fun into the evening with Neenah’s first ever StreetDance,” Barnes said. “Everyone is invited to a free concert by the popular Milwaukee-based band The Love Monkeys, and dance in the streets. The concert will take place in the 200 block of West Wisconsin Avenue from 5-9 p.m. Fox Valley Food Truck Association will be sponsoring a Food Truck Rally to add to the festive atmosphere. FoodTruck Rally sales begin at 5 p.m. and run through the concert. To cap off the 25th annual celebration, players and concert goers will be able to remain outside and purchase a specially brewed StreetBall 25 Lager created by Lion’s Tail Brewing Co. as they enjoy the concert. “We especially wanted to give our adult basketball players a chance to relax and reminiscence about their day of basketball triumphs,” Barnes said “by providing an opportunity for them to listen to great music by The Love Monkeys and enjoy a celebratory toast.” Additional StreetBall 25 activities include an Activity Court with contests open to all in attendance, the Bergstrom Shot for a Car Contest, FNB Fox Valley’s Bungee Slam-Dunk inflatables and activi- ties provided by The Building for Kids. *************************************** Neenah also offers two ways to enjoy great music outdoors and free-of-charge in beautiful and scenic Shattuck Park. The Out To Lunch Concert Series presented by Richard and Amy Jo Aylward happens on Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1p.m. and not only features some of the best local music, but food from different Neenah restaurants. Among those scheduled to appear include: Eddie Biebel, Kris Crow, Kyle Megna, Erin Krebs, Makena Hartlin, The Donnie Pick Trio, Phil Norby, The Oshkosh Rhythm Institute, The Michael Handler Project and Randy Peterson. The Evening Concert Series presented by Appleton International Airport takes place on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. Performers include: Wheelhouse, Boogie & The Yo-Yo’s, Mascot Theory, FBI and The Untouchable Horns, The Michael Handler Project and Ted Oliver Dueling Pianos. There’s plenty of free parking available, but also some places that no Inquisitor should park lest they be ticketed, so, for that valuable information and much more including featured restaurants and spon- sors, go to FutureNeenah.com and click on the “Concerts” tab. *************************************** Erin Krebs is releasing her highly- anticipated and long-awaited original music CD, “Love Always Wins,” at a CD Release Show and Party at Cena on Col- lege Ave in Appleton on Friday, June 3rd, from 9 to 11 p.m. For the event, she will add some of the Fox Valley’s best players including drummer Michael Underwood, bassist Justin Zopel and keyboards player Mark Martin-Kriha, “and some musical surprises” to Jeff Johnston’s always stellar guitar work and her distinctive vocals. *************************************** After months touring the Midwest, performing and appearing at many prominent venues, regional radio stations, television programs, and publications, the Kansas City-based Attic Light traveled to Nashville to record The EXILE EP with producer Dohse and the band will be spending the summer touring in sup- port of the record includ- ing a date in Green Bay at Kegger’s on June 16th. ************************** ************* 91.1 The Avenue is to be commended for the May 24th River Roots show at The Meyer Theater in Green Bay.  In addition to local roots and an affinity for superb songwriting, the three performing bands, headliner Dead Horses with Peridot as well as Kyle Megna and The Monsoons, extended the roots metaphor by showcas- ing their growth. All three kicked it up a notch over the past year. Among the changes Sarah Vos of Dead Horses talked about in last month’s SCENE, the addition of drums/percussion to the live shows give the band a lot of new options and areas of exploration both musically and energy- wise. Adding Ross Catterton’s soprano sax for the encore was not just inspired but opened the throttle to escape velocity. Peridot is more than just The Hillary Reynolds Band v.2; Reynolds and Trevor Jarvis have grown as songwriters and have more of a synergistic balance in the creation of the band’s sound and in their vocal harmonies. Kyle Megna’s growth has been both creative and numeri- cal. The addition of drummer Mike Underwood and key- boardist Noah Harmon to The Monsoons expanded Megna’s musical options while adding Catterton on saxophones and Kurt Shipe playing trumpet brings dimensions and energy that comple- mented without changing the essence and foundation of a very good live band. The Monsoons are like an NFL team that had four number one picks in a single draft who are all playing very well together with the veterans. Even cooler, all these bands are growing to get better.

    26  |  SceneNewspaper.com | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE BY BLAINE SCHULTZC In 1979 music was changing. In the Fox Valley, fans of underground music had few choices where to find the goods. WAPL featured a few hours of new music each week. Music that was not released on corporate-run major labels.  Record stores like The Mad Hat- teur in Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac, or Pipe Dreams in Appleton may get you a taste.  A gay bar might host a “New Wave Night.”  But mostly it was word of mouth from friends who traveled to big cities. Your best bet was two music magazines. These satellites were a pair of monthly publications. CREEM Magazine was based in Michigan and did a great job of covering much of the interesting music Rolling Stone had given up on. With a legendary stable of writers who were both witty (smart ass) and knowledgeable (smart), CREEM set a standard that many underground fanzines later aimed for.   A partial list of contributors includes Nick Tosches, Lester Bangs, R. Meltzer, Jaan Uhelszki, Susan Whitall, John Mendelsohn, Gregg Turner, Billy Altman, Robert Christgau, Ed Ward, Bill Hold- ship, John Kordosh and a bunch of others who were not slouches.  Trouser Press was based in NYC and had something of a British edge.  Led by the fearless Ira Robbins, along with Dave Schulps, a huge part of the magazine’s legacy was the Record Guides they published along with the monthly issues. These were invaluable sources of information.  But these magazines also offered another portal. The classified ads located in the back pages led to mail order lists of unknown LP’s, 45s and bootleg record- ings.  For budding record hounds, ground zero was shops like Bleeker Bob’s and Metro Music.  And a name that popped up often was the label Ork Records. According to guitarist Richard Lloyd, Atlantic Records’ Ahmet Ertegun said of Television, “I can’t sign this band. This is not earth music.”  If you can dig that, Ork Records: New York, New York (Numero Group) is a compilation just for you. The tentacles of this collection grow like a levia- than (Academic reference #1), with con- nections that are influencing music today. By 1975 The Velvet Underground and the New York Dolls had left their marks on a fecund and vibrant music scene that grew out of a Bowery bar called CBCG’s. A movie buff, Terry Ork had connections to this new music and began releasing records on his label as well as associated labels Shake, Fun, Lust/Unlust, Ice Water and Car, with the help of Charles Ball and Jon Tiven. Arguably the record this whole story is based upon is Ork’s release of Television’s groundbreaking  7-inch “Little Johnny Jewel, Parts 1 & 2,” an atmospheric blend of a riff and then a modal levitation. Ork would also be involved with the release of tracks by The Neon Boys (embryonic Tele- vision) and Richard Hell and the Voidoids (Television’s bassist gone solo).  Years before Patti Smith guitarist/ rock journalist Lenny Kaye compiled the ultimate punk collection Nuggets, he recorded his own garage record under the name Link Cromwell which is included here, and as an archival nod that holds its own.  Even Lester Bangs jumped the chasm form writer to artist with a chaotic blast that featured Voidoid Robert Quine. British journalist Mick Farren covered the Rolling Stones as well as a tune he co-wrote with Hawkwind’s Lemmy Kilmister. As evidence to the depth of talent, New York Dolls drummer Jerry Nolan’s band The Idols crank out a pair of cuts that could have been Dolls/Heartbreakers tracks. Likewise, Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome pulls a similar trick, and steps out on two cuts that could have passed for Dead Boys tunes. Lloyd, on vacation from Television reworks a pair of  Stones gems, “Connection,” and “Get Off My Cloud.” How deep was that well, you ask? Consider The Marbles...historically a footnote, their “Red Lights and Fire and Smoke” is about as close to a perfect 45 as you will find anywhere, any time, nailing a proto-power pop hook with a moody B-side. In 1977, a good decade before Alex Chilton became a Power Pop deity via Big Star, very few people realized (or even cared) he had already destroyed that albatross by recording “Bangkok,” a genius slice of demented rockabilly reduction, as well as the shambolic EP “The Singer Not the Song,” (Thanks Earwaves!). The evidence is here. The title cut of Chilton’s EP was to be included on a proposed Rolling Stones tribute album called “Sun Blotted From the Sky,” whose incomplete track list sug- gests it would have not only been the first, but the best in what would become a glut- ted and watered down cottage industry in the era of Alternative Rock.  Suspects included Television’s Richard Lloyd (“Connection/Get Off My Cloud”) and Mick Farren (“Play with Fire”). The Feelies would eventually release “Paint It Black,” on A&M Records in 1990. (Chilton once told me he was going to record “Like a Rolling Stone,” for the compilation, a comment that now seems to have been for his amusement.) Prix, a band based around Tiven, Tommy Hoehn and Big Star’s Chris Bell contribute a handful of tracks that sound like nothing less than outtakes from Big Before the Beginning -- Ork Records: New York, New York (Numero Group) Continue on Page 28

    28  |  SceneNewspaper.com | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE 922-4696 Call Ahead Use Our Pick-up Window 99 W. Pioneer Road•Fond du Lac HAPPY HOUR EVERYDAY 3-7pm Sporting Good Food SERVING BREAKFAST SATURDAY & SUNDAY from 11am-1pm Star’s Radio City.  (A full album of material was last to be released by HoZac Records.) By the early Eighties it had become pos- sible to track down some of these records.  I spent many hours digging through crates in record stores in Madison, Eau Claire, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.    Hearing this compilation pointed me to Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past  (Aca- demic reference #2).  Long gone places and events rushed back. The right song at the right time still works magic. The marketing of New Wave music and the success of MTV was in part shepherded by this music. Ork would remain an obscure point of reference, but the Feelies would later become something of a college radio favorite...here they contribute an early version of “Fe Ce la.” Perhaps the key to this whole collection is Chris Stamey,  a North Carolina native who was a huge Big Star and Television fan who came to NYC to play bass with Alex Chilton and also collaborated with Richard Lloyd. Stamey put out his own band, the dB’s records as well as one by The H-Bombs (which included future dB Peter Holsapple and Let’s Active’s Mitch Easter – both bud- dies from the Tarheel State.)    Stamey’s brilliant kitchen-sink produc- tion on his “If and When,” “I Thought You Wanted to Know,” and “Summer Sun,” are equaled by his witty lyrics. He still produces and releases fine records.  Stamey would also release “I Am the Cosmos,” Big Star founder Chris Bell’s final record before his tragic death in 1978. Arguably, the godfather of punk was Terry Ork, a gay, heroin-using, Jean Luc Godard-worshipping cinephile. Something of a B-level Andy Warhol, he swiped the term “New Wave,” from Godard and slapped it on the bands playing CBGB’s in the 1970s. The rest, as they say, is a shadowy his- tory...until now. Numero Group’s compilation Ork Records: New York, New York tells the story of ground zero for the Bowery scene in the cultural vacuum between hippiedom and punk. Continued from Page 26

    30  |  SceneNewspaper.com | June 2016 ENTERTAINMENT // IN BLOOM BY JILLIAN DAWSON From the outside, Riverview Gardens is probably most often associated as a beautiful venue for wedding receptions or one of the many vendors selling colorful produce in downtown Appleton’s Farmer’s Market. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find a resourceful team that has a green thumb for helping the community. Riverview Gardens began when they purchased the building in 2011. It sits atop 25 acres of organic farmland with a preserved park open to the public as well as community center that, partnered with Stone Cellar, hosts weddings and events. “It’s a pretty young organization overall. We’ve done a lot over the last four years,” notes Jane VanAuken, Director of Brand Management and Sales. In addition to the farmland, there is an apiary for the bees, 20 hoop houses and a 7500 square foot greenhouse over the former pool which allows the growth of bulk items that were not able to be done on the farm. One of the most notable s e r - v i c e s offered a t R i v - e r v i e w Gardens are opportunities for those in a transitional phase of their lives. “Most of the people in our groups are veterans,” says VanAuken. The Riverview Gardens staff works alongside those from the men and women’s COTS, the Ryan House and Harbor House teaching them job skills. “We aren’t teaching anyone to be a farmer or a baker. These are basic skills like how to get to work on time, work with your peers and how to take supervision. All the things that we take for granted, things they haven’t had before or lost over a period of time and need a refresher.” Each person is part of a 90 day training program with an evaluation at the 30, 60 and 90 day mark. After completion of the program, they assist them with resumes and employment, working with over 80 local employers for job placement. Last year they hoped to assist 150 people and reached nearly 260. “The need is definitely there,” says VanAuken. .” Jobs include maintenance around the grounds, setting up and tearing down for events and seeding, washing and p a c k i n g vegetables for Commu- nity Supported A g r i c u l t u r e (CSA). Their newest endeavor is the Riverview Gardens store, located at 513 W. College Avenue in downtown Appleton. The store features fresh produce from the gardens including honey and baked goods made from their own ingredients. Additionally, they feature baked goods from Happy Bellies bakery, which offers gluten free options, coffee from Acoca Coffee and wifi. A ‘Pay-It-Forward’ board allows people to purchase an extra cup of coffee or bakery that can be redeemed by someone in need. Keeping on par with the Garden location, the store is run by volunteers and those learning job skills. “This gives us another outlet to do some more outsourcing with people with a great location close to public transpor- tation.” While R i ver vie w G a r d e n s h a s a n emphasis on assisting veter- ans, Van Auken notes, “We want this to be a comfortable and safe place for people to come. Everyone is welcome.” The store houses several floors and leas- ing opportunities for other programs. The Fox Valley Humane Association plans to do Pets for Vets on the lower level, which partners rehabilitated dogs with veterans to fit their needs. Fox Valley Tech is also bringing outreach and basic adult educa- tion to the College Avenue store and an organization out of Minneapolis that assists autistic individuals has a pending lease as well. Additionally, a dedicated group of volunteers work on bicycles for Riverview Gardens. “Not having transportation is a major barrier for people. They can work for 15 hours and earn a bike.” Each bike comes with a helmet, lock, light and free repairs for life. Riverview Gardens will no longer have a stand at the Appleton Farmer’s Market and will instead sell their produce out of the store on College Avenue. Produce will be available in store throughout the week with the bulk of their items for sale on Satur- day. Fea- t u r e d w i l l b e e v e r y - t h i n g from Farm- er’s Market staples such as tomatoes and cucumbers to more unique fare such as living lettuce, dragon beans and eggplant.
