If you like hanging out in beautiful vineyards, mingling with beautiful people and grooving out to that beautiful brand of indie-pop that makes you bob your head merrily and feel pretty darn good about life, you’ll want to attend C. Donatiello Winery’s Live from Middle Ranch Series. This weekend hosts the likes of Sara Bareilles, Ian Ball, Buddy, Holly Conlan and others. Headliner Bareilles is the Eureka native who scored massive popularity with the sassy piano-driven melody of “Love Song.” She falls into that pleasant musical subgenre of fresh-faced female singers who play their own instruments and write their own songs. No rehab histrionics, no auto tuner, no overproduction—just catchy tunes perfect for intimate mix tapes and romantic comedy soundtracks. Hear Bareilles with Ball, the frontman of the Britpop band Gomez, Buddy, an L.A.-based indie pop project, and Conlan, a piano-playing singer-songwriter, on Sunday, Aug. 30, at C. Donatiello Winery. 4035 Westside Road, Healdsburg. 1pm-4pm. Free; buy some wine already. 707.497.3376.Daniel Hirsh

Whip out the fedora, grease back the hair, strap on the leather pumps and tune up the hot-rod, when the KRSH presents the Hot August Rockabilly Roadhouse. For all fans of that singular breed of retro rock and old-timey tunes, the Blasters along with standup bassist Lee Rocker are here to provide some jams worthy of rug-cutting. The Blasters draw influence from such rock ’n’ roll grand masters as Carl Perkins, Big Joe Turner, Howlin’ Wolf and James Brown. Lee Rocker, an original member of the Stray Cats, plays a mean slap bass that can swing from classic Americana to fist-pumping rock. Big Dave, host of KRSH’s weekly Rockabilly Roadhouse broadcast, provides his big persona to host the live performance. Dig it on Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Hopmonk Tavern. 230 Petaluma Ave. Sebastopol. 9pm. $25. 707.829.7300.Daniel Hirsh

Aug. 29: Blues, Brews & BBQ in Napa

-
0

A letter to the editor recently chastened the Bohemian for running a cover story on a local barbecue chef (“Lonestar State of Mind,” Aug. 5). The bereaved reader demanded why we would celebrate the carnivorous tendencies of modern man, asking, “Why do you glorify our ignorance?” It’s a valid question. After all we know about the ethically questionable practices of the American meat industry and the giant carbon footprint caused by consuming animal flesh, it seems like we would all have evolved to vegetarianism by now, if not downright veganism. Yet there is something in the musky aroma of smoke rising from a grill with well-marinated ribs freshly laid down that makes our mammalian hearts melt to a more primal state. It may be wrong, but gosh darn it, those ribs will be delicious at Blues, Brews & BBQ, which features live music, microbrew tasting, the county’s finest winemakers competing in a rib-eating contest and lots of barbecue. Dig in on Saturday, Aug. 29, in downtown Napa. 1–6pm. Free. 707.257. 0322.Daniel Hirsh

Aug. 28-30: Napa Fresh Aire Festival at the Westin Verasa Hotel

Imagine yourself running through a field of daisies, ambient smooth jazz is playing from somewhere and the sun is shining. Your pores—and chakras, too—are freshly exfoliated, and open from a sunrise yoga session. You are one with the universe, Vitamin Water in one hand, a bundle of bio-dynamic snacks in the other. No, this is not a dream. It could be you if you head to the Napa Fresh Aire Festival, a weekend-long event featuring an exposition of spiritual health and eco-conscious products, in-depth yoga seminars, mood music, nature appreciating, chi-aligning and a whole range of enlightened speakers, including everyone from acclaimed New Age health guru Dr. Andrew Weil to the “sexpert” authors of How to Have Magnificent Sex and Your Long Erotic Weekend. Breathe deep, baby. Things are going to get groovy Aug. 28–30 at the Westin Verasa Hotel. 1314 McKinstry St., Napa. $99–$175 with registration. 888.825.5484. www.napafreshairefest.com.Daniel Hirsh 

Aug. 27: Solo Cissokho at Throckmorton Theater

-
0

The kora, a 21-string harp-lute used in traditional West African music, has a strangely international appeal, such as when jazz innovator Herbie Hancock used it in his 1984 album Village Life. From the tiny Senegalese ethnic minority the Mandika people, kora musician Solo Cissokho knows full well the transnational power of his instrument—at least, people in Norway seem to really like it. Based out of Oslo, Cissokho frequently collaborates with Swedish-born fiddle player Ellika Frisell. The unlikely fusion of West African harp with Scandinavian folk has proven both fruitful and sonically rich. Their collaboration on Tretakt Takissaba won a BBC World Music Award in the Boundary Crossing category. Boundary crossing, indeed. Following a performance of an entire kora orchestra, Solo Cissokho performs solo on Thursday, Aug. 27, at 142 Throckmorton Theater. 142 Throckmorton Ave., Mill Valley. 8pm. $15–$18. 415.383.9600.Daniel Hirsch

Late August in Santa Rosa means that it’s back to the books for high school and JC students, triple the traffic on Pacific and Mendocino avenues, and, most importantly, a new season for the SRJC Culinary Cafe and Bakery. One person, at least, is definitely excited. Speaking by phone on the way to her office, cafe manager and instructor Betsy Fischer gushes about the fall opening and the cafe’s upcoming new location across from campus—set to open in 2011—before she explains the importance of education taking place in the real world.”When you’re out there in the work world, it’s not just about cooking,” she says. “There’s a whole other business and service side to it, and we want to give our students experience in those areas so they’re prepared.”

The cafe first opened in January of 2003, and has continued to provide valuable background to budding chefs while piling on appreciative fans of the joint’s low prices and delectable menu.

“When the students are working in the cafe, they’re towards the end of their training,” Fischer says. “During the 16 weeks they spend in the cafe, they become more responsible for coming up with recipes and that sort of thing.”

The cafe and bakery is one place where even regulars can’t order the same thing every week, which Fischer says keeps people coming back for more.

“We have a very large and loyal clientele, but every week the menu changes, so we don’t necessarily have any one mainstay or popular item,” she says. “But people usually order our desserts almost every time, which is rare for most lunch places.”

Rare indeed. One might imagine that a steamed persimmon pudding with lemon rum sauce or a chocolate-orange nut tart would speed the inevitable 3pm post-lunch office slump, but the droolworthy dessert creations are worth the risk.

Fischer mentions that the two new additions to the rotating menu—thin-crust pizza and gourmet sandwiches—are already a hit. As a finishing thought, she says simply, “We don’t cook from books, boxes or cans. It’s all fresh all the time.”

The SRJC Culinary Cafe and Bakery opens for the fall season on Wednesday, Aug. 26, at the corner of Seventh and B streets in Santa Rosa. Wednesday&–Friday, breakfast and lunch only. 707.576.0279.

MAN FROM MONGO: Performance artist Hamlet Mateo promises to provoke.

Saturday morning, chore day, and you’re at the gas station filling up. As you stand dully by the tank watching the numbers whirr by, a woman begins to flit among the pumps, bending and dipping and even—is she crazy?—leaping.

She’s not crazy and neither are you—she’s merely performing a public dance bemoaning our dependence on fossil fuels.

Saturday evening, chores are done, time for a treat. You and your honey are at a restaurant out near the Russian River having one of those lovely long, meandering conversations about nothing that is so strangely satisfying. The couple at a nearby table, however, have begun to raise their voices. Oh. My. Gosh. Did he really say that to her in public? Is she crying? Don’t look, don’t look, it’s rude. OK, look quick and tell me what you see. She slapped him? No way!

No need to show public valor. They’re not having a row—they’re actors performing a play about a couple in a restaurant that just happens to be set in a real restaurant.

Saturday night, driving home through the lush, dark air. The radio is on softly and the passenger looks quietly out the window. What’s that light in that field? That is so strange! Hon, there’s a large . . . reddish, oh maybe it’s pink . . . light just glowing in that field over there. Pull over. This is so strange!

Aliens have not landed. This just is a random sculpture set up to radiate light on a random night in a random field.

You need a nightcap. Sitting in the bar of a Sebastopol restaurant, an aria starts up. Nice of them to play opera, you murmur, before realizing that the man seated at table in front of the fire has stood up and let the full strength of his tenor loose on a postmodern song structure by John Adams. Oh, sure. He’s the famous tenor from Adams’ Nixon in China and he lives out here.

Can we please just go home where there’s TV and it’s safe?

This long day of accidental art is entirely plausible between Aug. 29 and Oct. 3, otherwise known as the time frame for the large, unwieldy and sure-to-be surprising Arts Sonoma ’09 Festival. Born of a James Irvine Foundation grant through the Sonoma County Community Foundation and a desire for a fringe festival of outsider arts, Arts Sonoma encompasses all of those events that were going to happen anyway—rock concerts, fall stage productions and art gallery shows—and adds in a bunch of frankly strange stuff that wasn’t going to happen unless John Moran made it happen.

Moran is a humorous Brit who works for the Arts Council of Sonoma County and has nearly broken himself organizing this massive endeavor with former Studio KAFE owner John Duran. “I hate elitism,” Moran says, settling into a rickety chair in a Santa Rosa coffee shop. “It’s the perception of what the arts are that’s paramount to me. What we’re trying to say is that there’s more to it than you think there is.”

This first incarnation of what aims to be an annual festival relies heavily on the flash mob idea of performances occurring with seeming random precision. Liliana Cattaneo performs the gas station dances (for more, see Green Zone, p14); members of the Pegasus Theater Company act like they’re eating during performances in river-area restaurants; Patrick Scott will place electrified barrels wherever it pleases him; and indeed, Nixon in China tenor John Duykers will perform off-the-cuff opera in West County restaurants with New York composer Miguel Frasconi.

While the flash-mob aesthetic animates many of the surprise performances of the festival, there is much to experience that is plainly dated with a start time and everything. Among the highlights is former WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) flyer Jeanne Sloan, who has written a book about her experience as a pilot and hosts a reading from it with several fellow WASPs in attendance (Sept. 19). Performance artist and filmmaker Hamlet Mateo plans one of his memorable shows at the Hammerfriar Gallery based on sketches and random writings about his own imaginary country of Mongo. Expect face paint and cross-dressing and damned excellent drawings (starting Sept. 4). Meanwhile, Railroad Square’s Toad in the Hole pub finally gets around to celebrating the queen’s coronation, hosting an old-fashioned street party (Oct. 3). And rest assured, there’s more.

“This is just the start,” Moran stresses. “We’re asking people to have a taste of art, like wine—a flight of art. If there’s an audience for it, it will succeed.”

Break the System

A Duke University–educated physician, Len Saputo should have been able to help his wife, a trained nurse, better when she suffered her first life-threatening anaphylactic attack. Or her second. But by her 23rd attack, in a Hong Kong hotel far from their California home, he was not only spooked and worried, but downright abject about his own inability to cure his wife. His colleagues recommended a course of Prednisone, which caused her face to balloon and her ankle to crack with a mere misstep. Something else had to be done.

As it turned out, Saputo’s wife was reacting to the hundreds of allergens that are the regular byproduct of modern life. By sticking to a strict regime of food and environmental restrictions, she has been able to live off the drugs and without suffering anaphylactic attack No. 24. And her husband has been radicalized.

With the country seemingly paralyzed by the buffoonery that passes for the Town Hall healthcare debates, Dr. Saputo has some common sense wisdom for Washington. His newest book is A Return to Healing. He appears at Readers Books on Aug. 27 to offer his own prescription for America’s healthcare woes. First on the list? Get rid of prescriptions, at least those big pharma drugs that treat after-the-fact symptoms instead of before-it-happens modifications.

Co-written with Marin County resident Byron Belitsos, A Return to Healing offers its own five-point plan for changing the country, beginning with mandating an hour’s worth of daily exercise for everyone, young and old, and taxing junk food as severely as we do alcohol and cigarettes. The two seek to expand the role of and the insurance coverage for such complementary and alternative medical practices as Chinese herbology, acupuncture and chiropractics, healing methods embraced in other cultures and pooh-poohed in our HMO-dominated medical system.

They demand an overhaul of the FDA, a government arm so overrun by the needs of the multibillion dollar pharmaceutical industry as to be its puppet. They support single-payer health insurance that covers all citizens and suggest that consumers should always have access to alternative therapies.

With their emphasis on preventative life-style changes—exercise and leafy greens cost the healthcare industry not a single sou—one would think that Saputo and Belitsos’ recommendations would be warmly embraced. One would, of course, be wrong.

Dr. Len Saputo appears on Thursday, Aug. 27, at Readers’ Books. 130 E. Napa St., Sonoma. 7:30pm. Free. 707.939.1779.

One year shy of its 20th anniversary in Rohnert Park, the award-winning Pacific Alliance Stage Company is officially gone, its city funding erased as an emergency cost-cutting measure. PASCO artistic director Hector Correa, who was brought to Sonoma County in the spring of 2004 to coax the company toward heightened professionalism (and bigger box office), has been let go, and for the first time since 1989, Rohnert Park is without a resident theater company. The only Equity house in the county, PASCO’s fate comes as no surprise, given the massive deficits the city has been facing the last year or so. Despite strong loyalty from a tiny army of annual subscribers, the cost of operating a full-fledged contract theater company out of the Spreckels Performing Arts Center finally became too much to absorb.

“It’s no secret that Spreckels’ operating budget was cut by 50 percent this year,” explains Gene Abravaya, Spreckels’ “theater arts specialist,” the person responsible in large part for marketing the center’s numerous musical and theatrical offerings. “With half of our budget gone,” he says, “we had to give something up, and unfortunately it had to be Pacific Alliance.”

According to Abravaya, PASCO’s retirement is a temporary move. “As soon as our budget can support it, PASCO will be back again and up and running,” Abravaya says. “I can’t say if Hector will be coming back with it, because he’s a very talented director and actor, always in demand in the area, so I can’t say if he’ll be available, but that is the hope.”

Surprisingly, the loss has not resulted in an abandonment of Spreckels’ theatrical season. With all of those subscribers still expecting some kind of bang for their promised buck, Abravaya, working with managing director Mary McDougall, has pulled together a season of shows that is as ingeniously crafty as it is artistically daring. Replacing the traditional five-play season is a quartet of shows borrowed from other North Bay companies, all of them arriving with their original casts and directors.

The Santaland Diaries, based on David Sedaris’ hilarious autobiographical essay about the people who play elves every year at Macy’s, played to sold-out houses last December when it was performed in a small Santa Rosa storefront. That production, starring David Yen and directed by Argo Thompson, will be airlifted to Spreckels Nov. 27&–Dec. 13.

In January, there will be a reprise of Patrick Ball’s internationally renowned solo-show O’Carolan’s Farewell to Music, written by Ball and Peter Glazer. Celtic harpist Ball portrays the legendary poet and musician Turlough O’Carolan. The show melds music and storytelling in a tale about the struggle of art to speak the truth even during dark and troubling time. The show runs Jan. 21&–Feb. 7.

The Gin Game, with a brilliant, blistering script by D. L. Coburn, was a surprise success last year at the Novato Theater Company. Featuring real-life married actors Norman A. Hall and Shirley Nilsen Hall as a mismatched pair of dysfunctional retirement-home residents, the show dazzled audiences in February 2008, achieving the rare form of theatrical immortality that comes when, a year later, people are still talking about the production. The Gin Game plays March 18&–April 4.

The season will conclude with a restaging of one of the North Bay’s other most talked-about performances: Steven Abbott in Doug Wright’s I Am My Own Wife. The electrifying solo show originally appeared two years ago at the Sonoma County Repertory Theater, under the direction of Jennifer King, who will be returning to remount the show, with Abbott, at Spreckels, April 29&–May 16.

Such moves seem economically wise, while also making it clear that a PASCO-less Spreckels does not mean a downgrading of theatrical entertainment. “This is certainly all excellent theater,” says Abravaya, “and people should know that. If anyone is concerned about a drop in quality at Spreckels, they should not be concerned.”

In fact, these changes may be exactly what Spreckels needs. Despite the random theatrical success, PASCO’s star has been waning over the last few years. Ironically, by filling its schedule with bold plays and first-rate casts, 2009&–2010 looks to be one of Spreckels’ strongest seasons in years.

Spreckels Performing Arts Center, 5409 Snyder Lane, Rohnert Park. For details, call 707.588.3400.

So I’m having this phone conversation with a quart of oil. I’ll call him Pen Zoil. He says, “Hey, do you love me?” I say, “Of course. I love any engine lubricant that stands between me and the need to replace my transmission.”

Pen Zoil says, “No, that’s not what I mean. I want your complete devotion. If you’re truly American, then you’ll go the extra mile for me and accelerate this love till you feel a driving desire to, well, worship me.”

Ew. What a drip! I press the little red button to end the call, muttering to myself. Worship. Come on. Who’d go that far for a petroleum product?

No sooner had I asked the question when performance artist Liliana Cattaneo answered. “Just about everyone would and does go that far every day, without even thinking about it. All of us as a culture worship oil,” she says. The 30-year-old choreographer is so firmly convinced of this that she has created an original performance to help bring us all out of denial about our true relationship to a resource she believes has peaked. “Because we can’t function as a society without oil,” Cattaneo says, “I figured it was time to dedicate a dance.”

Cattaneo will be among the artists performing as part of the Arts Sonoma ’09 fringe festival this fall, bringing dance, poetry, music and other art forms to unconventional venues and performing to groups of people who may likely be surprised to find themselves exposed to the arts. (For more coverage, see p34.) Cattaneo, for example, will be exhibiting her particular form of political art at Pen Zoil’s favorite love shack and house of worship: the ubiquitous gas station.

“Why not? This piece is about oil,” says the dancing, singing, guitar-playing activist from southern California whose nonprofit dance group spent five months touring the country last year. “We’ve hit our peak oil, and I want to send a message about natural resources and sustainability, about slowing down. I’m extremely passionate about it. What I’m delivering doesn’t have to be pretty. It’s entertaining and has a message.”

A veteran of message-based performance in unconventional places, Cattaneo looks forward to dancing beside fuel pumps for the unsuspecting motorists who will compose her surprised audience. “If I set up my art in front of people’s TVs, then that’s one way that maybe they’d see it. A gas station is the next best thing,” Cattaneo explains. “The target of the fringe arts festival is to bring art to places where people are. I chose gas stations because everyone goes to get gas. If someone just pulls up to the station and fills up their car, they might see part of the performance and get something to think about.”

The message is consciousness. The method is movement and music in and around a larger-than-life trashcan in which Cattaneo meets Pen Zoil in a worshipful tango in front of God and everybody. She’ll be the one with the clothes on and the flashy tattoos. Pen will be himself—oily, clingy and making transparent attempts to upstage her.

Cattaneo’s artistic collaborator, musician Mike Wilson, will be playing the guitar he hand-made, eliciting percussive content on auto- and oil-related instruments created from found objects, and weaving an improvisational soundtrack with an on-the-spot looped recording. It sounds very likely these free performances will be worth the drive to a gas station. Casual attire. Tickets not required.

Cattaneo and Wilson will be appearing for one-hour performances scheduled at 2pm on Sunday afternoons: Aug. 30 in Santa Rosa at Tower Gas, 3825 Santa Rosa Ave. (at the corner of East Todd Road); Sept. 6 in Bennett Valley at the Bennett Valley 76 Automotive, 2799 Yulupa Ave. (corner of Bethards); and Sept. 13 in Sebastopol at Sebastopol Fast Gas, 1080 Gravenstein Hwy. Three additional gas-station performances will be given as part of the series, with dates and locations to be announced. For more information go to www.contactarts.org-shows.
