She wouldnt change a thing

Singer-songwriter and folk
music grande dame Janis
Ian to headline The Center
for the Arts
By Matthew Whitley
art of Saturday Night Lives 40th anniversary celebration included rerunning the debut
episode from 1975. Their first musical guest was
the legendary Janis Ian, performing her smash
single, At Seventeen. It was then, and remains
still, a profound revelation of a song that even today moves listeners to tears, earning Ian her first
Grammy.
Born in 1951, Ian entered the music world at the
age of 13; writing the classic song, Societys
Child, about a forbidden racial romance. Her
1975 album, Between the Lines, which featured
the single, At Seventeen, would sell millions
and have Rolling Stone magazine call it one of the
best albums of the 70s and one of 40 albums every baby boomer must own.
Over the next several decades, Ian has continued
to write and perform, and her music has been
covered by singers like Nina Simone, Cher, Bette
Midler and Roberta Flack. In addition to her music
career, she is also a columnist for the Advocate
magazine, a science fiction author, and creator of
the Pearl Foundation, which in honor of her own
mother provides scholarships to older citizens
looking to finish their education.
In 2013, Ian was again awarded a Grammy, this
time for Best Spoken Word Album for her autobiography, Societys Child. Ian will bring her folk
and pop music to The Center for the Arts in Grass
Valley on April 24, performing with fellow singer-songwriter Tom Paxton.
You grew up in a Jewish family in New York
City, in a culture with a rich history of music.
How do you think that helped inform your musical taste and writing?
I think that culturally, being raised on stories of
the Maccabees and the book A Treasury of Jewish
Folklore probably inuenced me morally and ethically but not my musical taste.
Your very first single, Societys Child, addressed inter-racial romance. Why did you feel
compelled to write the song at such an early age
and were you surprised by the violent outrage
including the burning of an Atlanta radio station?

Its been pretty much an amazing opportunity to
be able to serve this music properly, Rossi said.
Being a good performer is putting out a sense of
gratuity to your band mates and more importantly to your audience. The music becomes my own
experience. Its amazing and uplifting. To basically
present and spread the music of Pink Floyd, its a
dream come true.
Did they tell you the name of the

game boys?
Rossi and Lawrence are joined by singer and bass
player Vincent Gates, guitarist Curt Mitchell, singer Lisa McCuiston and, occasionally, saxophone
player Joel Edwards. McCuiston was recruited to
sing Great Gig in the Sky and stuck around because she can also play guitar and bass.
Lucky for us Lisa is an incredible singer, Gates
said. She was a real good find and a real good fit
for this group.
Rossi is also aware of the nuances that go with

replicating a legend.
Nick Mason is about a feel, the way he plays the
drums, Rossi said. His drumming is relatively
simple, but what makes it different and beautiful
at the same time is its simplicity.
Adding to the authenticity of their homage is the
fact that they try to stick to the same gear that was
available when Pink Floyd were recording these
songs.
A lot of the gear that we use is vintage because
of the sound, Lawrence said. I use an original
Fender Rhodes piano to emulate the sound on the
records. Its not always effectively done pushing a
button on any keyboard. You have to finesse it.

Jack Gallagher
CANT PRETEND
THAT GROWING OLD
NEVER HURTS
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 17 and

Saturday, April 18
WHERE: State Theatre, 985 Lincoln Way in Auburn
COMEDY FOR AND FROM THE

Sacramento comedian Jack
Gallagher will be making
folks laugh at the State Theatre on April 17 and 18.
The show is titled Cant Pretend that Growing Older Never Hurts, and
Gallagher found out rst hand about the pain of aging when his head
met a windshield last Labor Day.
I am an avid cyclist, he said. I was riding and got hit by a car. I had a
serious concussion that I am still suffering the after effects of six months
later. Doctors say at my age, if you get everything back, it could take up
to a year.
So, add realize your physical limitations to the list of things you get to
look forward to.
I do this bit in my act of how Ive dropped something on the oor and
I take time to consider whether its worth bending over to pick up, he
said. I used to do stairs two or three at a time and now its do I really
need to go upstairs?
Not part of his act is the oft-considered, do I really need to go on the
road? After a decade and a half of 35 weeks a year on the road, hes
really tired of traveling.
When you y into Chicago for the rst time its real exciting, he said.
You go to a ballgame, visit the museum, make new friends. By the 15th
time its saw my friends, been to a ballgame, seen the museums. Once
my boys were born I wanted to stay home. My young son was diagnosed
with autism and I wanted to be there for that.
Even his corporate gigs take three days to do 45 minutes of material.
Thats why he looks forward to this appearance in Auburn, a short drive
from his Sacramento home, where he has lived since 1987.
SCREEN SHOTS
Jack Gallagher nds getting older

quite funny
Hes done movies (with Bobcat Goldthwait and Clint Eastwood theres
some range), had a short-lived TV sitcom (Bringing Up Jack), had a recurring role on Curb Your Enthusiasm (Larry David was great to work with,
very generous), opened for everyone from Paul Anka to Warren Zevon,
and even auditioned for the role of Frasier on Cheers. But the highlight
of his career, by far, was his rst appearance on the Tonight Show with
Johnny Carson.
As a comic, growing up when I grew up, getting on Carson was the

pinnacle, the mountaintop, Gallagher said. I did ve auditions before
they accepted me; and I did well when I was on. You left that stage as
a Tonight Show comic. That was a huge bump to your career. You went

E EVERYMAN
His best advice for the young aspiring comedian the one that wants that hotel room is
to get on stage. Dont worry about an agent or
a tour, just get yourself on stage.
IT HAS TO KILL
I write stuff all of the time and think its funny,
he said. But unless you are up in front of an audience and get their stamp of approval, its not.
Start with five minutes. Get on stage and make
sure it works. Every time you do it. If 30 seconds
arent working, replace them. It has to kill every
time. Then you work on 10 minutes, then 20,
then 45 minutes, then an hour.
Author Malcolm Gladwell once said it takes
about 10,000 hours to truly master something
and Gallagher buys into that theory. But for comedians its more than just time, you also need
a diverse audience.
Do your act in front of people who have no interest in your comedy, he said. Do it front of
people who dont want to laugh. Make it work.
Gallagher has written five critically-acclaimed
one-man shows that are more theatrical productions than stand up comedy. They include serious stuff and moments of sadness, which,
unless he bombs, will not be a part of his Auburn
show.
He has also logged a few hours as a host on the
PBS shows Money Moves; Kids, Cash and Common Sense; and Money Track. Did two-and-ahalf years as a math teacher in Massachusetts
make him a financial expert or is there something else we dont know about?
I have a checking account, he said. They
wanted me to be the everyman, to lighten the
mood of money. My job on the show was to ask
questions. Dont throw that term around, explain what it means. They figured that if Jack
understands it, well understand it. Im relatable.
Not too smart, not too dumb.
Its the same way he sees his comedy.
Comedy as everyman, he said. Comedy we
all can relate to. Its an hour of material that
ranges from getting old to having older kids
to stupid people doing stupid things. Its just
funny.

QUEST ONE OF FIRST THEATERS IN
U.S. TO PRODUCE POPULAR PLAY
By Paul Cambra
nyone familiar with the movie Calendar

Girls is well aware of the nudity involved,
especially those actresses who signed on to play
the title roles. Tasteful and discreet as it is, they
are naked nonetheless.
But wife swapping?
I play Chris Harper, said Rene Spratling. My
husband plays John, the fellow with cancer, who
is married to Annie Clarke. Lois Ewing plays Annie. Her husband, Scott Ewing, plays Rod, my
husband in the play. So I guess we swapped husbands for the show.
OK, husband swapping, now that makes sense.
After all, this is a woman-centric production, with
a half dozen lovely ladies baring it all for a good
cause. And besides, the guys had their shot a
few years ago.

FRESH SOUND BLOWS IN

FROM THE NORTH
Canadian folk rock, singer-songwriter Tyler Gilbert said
his solo gig at Gingers in Roseville makes for stripped
down versions of his songs. The performances on this
tour are down to the root of the songs, he said. In
singer-songwriter fashion, one can clearly hear the lyrics
and the stories.

ust a little bit south of Saskatoon. Good

song by Sonny James. Great place if youre
talking about Regina, population 200,000, give
or take a Saskatchewan or two.
But it suits Tyler Gilbert just fine. The Calgary
born singer-songwriter splits his time between
that burgeoning metropolis and his brothers
digs in Great Falls, Montana (a little bit further
south, like 500 miles).
Regina has a lot of musicians and a very strong
underground scene, Gilbert said. Theres a
lot of support.
Like most musicians, hes spent some time on
the road, touring the better part of his native
Canada and sizable chinks of the U.S. Midwest and Eastern seaboard. But hes about to
embark on his first tour of the western United
States, and you can bet hes looking forward to
at least one thing.
Nice weather, he said. And Ive always
found the West to be more inviting in the overall feel you get from people; more generous
and welcoming. Im expecting to run into good
people along the way.
Gilbert, 26, released his fourth album, OK Murphy, in 2013. The title is a nod to Murphys Law,
which has won rounds in the past but seems
to be taking a backseat lately on his road trips.
It comes with experience, he said Most
things you see arent going to surprise you anymore. Getting to know people, making connections with venue owners, making friends
it gets easier, especially when youve been to a
place before.
While the road is less rocky, his music is leaning
more so. While he admits his folk is already a
little edgier than the traditional sort, hes delib-

erately heading into a more electric-driven rock direction. But he never

wants to erase his musical diversity. Hes even had decent radio play on
Canadian country music stations. His sundry assortment of styles is no
surprise once he enlightens you to his musical inuences.
I look at it as a triangle, he said. I know its a weird way to look at it,
but up at top are the singers. There is a wide range some you might
not expect but my favorites are Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.
In one bottom corner are the guitarists, Zakk Wylde and Dimebag Daryl.
In the other corner are the songwriters. Neil Young, Bob Dylan, John
Fogerty. I am a big fan of 70s-era music. I really think music peaked at
that point. So many great artists, so many great songs.
Even more inuential upon his songwriting was his father, who he described as older than one would expect.

He was a very smart man, owned multiple degrees, Gilbert said. He

and his brother would question everything, every tradition and routine,
and they always encouraged me to do what I wanted. Theyd say do
what you want and do it now.
So he is. Hes channeling his natural affinity to people-watching into
insightful, character-driven songs. His subjects favor underdogs and
the little guy, like the worn out cowboy looking for his place or the
petty thief from Nevada with the law on her tail. Or the two guys with
the broken down van in Niagara Falls. Wait, thats not a song, that really
happened.

We were scheduled to play in St. Catharines so we decide to take a

drive to Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side, he said. As soon as we
got into town the old van just broke down. We opened the hood and
started checking things out but being musicians we werent the most
mechanically inclined. We took the car into the shop and they knew we
were from Saskatchewan, so as we walked around the town that day,
whenever we went back to the shop it was here comes those Saskatchewan boys again.
That was back when Murphys Law was jockeying for a spot in the band.
For the From the North 2015 Tour, Gilbert is going it alone.
Ill be doing this tour solo, he said. Youll hear more of the words and
the story. Sometimes they can be just as powerful as those songs with a
full band behind them.

EATING THROUGH ROSEVILLE
www.ltcarter47.wordpress.com
NOTED CHEF VISITS ROSEVILLE

as Blaze Pizza launches
CULINARY PERSONALITY FROM
L.A. IS HIGHLY INVOLVED IN
NEW EATERY
By Scott Thomas Anderson
rad Kent is a man who can barely contain his

love for crafting artful, sizzle-savoring mozzarella
pies. The executive chef from Los Angeles was in
Roseville recently, working hands-on with the kitchen crew of the new Blaze Pizza; and as Kent sat down
to discuss what makes Blaze stand out, his brimming
enthusiasm for high-grade ingredients, dough-pulling techniques and the science of red tomato sauce
were almost uncontainable.
Kent has been called the head chef who cares
and when it comes to what Americas pizza fanatics think of the Blaze philosophy, to say he cares is
a massive understatement.
Kent worked in catering during his college years
before heading off to the Culinary Institute of
America in New York. He swung the knives at fine
dining and then earned a second degree in food
science, soon grabbing a job with the Department of Defense to develop rations for soldiers.
22
NTeRTAiNeR
These days he remembers being one of the only

people working in the Armys food program who
actually strapped on a full 60-pound compliment
of rangers gear and went marching with a platoon
through a sweltering Louisiana summer day to see
how much his food packs weighed on a servicemans back. That extreme commitment spilled over
when he eventually went back to cooking for the
masses with his own restaurant, Olio Pizzeria &
Caf in Los Angeles.
When I decided I was going to specialize in pizza, I literally bought every published book on pizza
that Amazon had, he remembered with a laugh.
It took me three years to read all of them; but it
gave me a really good view of how diverse pizza-cooking is in different parts of the world.
When Kent opened Olio, it didnt take long for his
novel approach to extreme quality with ingredients, and his an almost religious intensity to cooking dough, to get Zagats to name Olio one of the
best pizzerias in the nation.
Still maintaining a restaurant on L.A.s West 3rd
Street and another in its Grand Central Market, the
tireless Kent also agreed to be the executive chef
for the emerging chain, Blaze Pizza, which opened
a location at 10325 Fairway Drive in Roseville in

mid-December. This week, Kent sat down with
the Entertainer to discuss what Roseville foodies should know about Blaze. He started with his
own personal search for the freshest conceivable
ingredients a chain can carry, which includes peerless California olive oil, our grown and milled in
California, non-factory processed chicken and turkey, olives from Greece rather than China, cheeses aged within driving distance of the dairies their
milk comes from, and a host of meat options from
certified, cruelty-free sources.
Good recipes and good ingredients are a big
part of it, Kent said. But so is having employees
who have real passion for pizza. When a customer comes in who is a self-proclaimed pizza freak,
theres no way to fool them on the quality, just like
theres no way to fool them about whether the people working inside the kitchen care.
Another point of emphasis with Kent is making sure
the dough at Blaze is properly managed, so it becomes a golden-baked art canvas for his piercing
ruby tomato sauce spreads. Kent has the dough for
Blaze mixed in the Parisian style. He maintains that
our that is masterfully fermented will transform
3/23/15 12:20 PM
into pizza dough with a slightly sour taste, while being crisp on the outside
and tender on the inside.
The dough has to be properly curated, Kent explained. If you get a pizza
and the dough is white and devoid of color, than that dough has been abused
The dough is at least 30 percent of a pizza, so you have to really focus on
that, because its the foundation.
Beyond the direction that Kent is pushing for Blaze, its corporate office has
tried to make the pizza company stand out by going the extra mile on environmental friendliness. This includes using pizza boxes that are biodegradable
and drink lids that are compostable. Blaze is also currently trying to develop
straws for its drinks that will break down into the soil.
Jeff Mueller, the manager of Rosevilles Blaze, testified that early response to
his companys character has been extremely encouraging.
Its just been exciting to see all of the enthusiasm from new customers coming in here, Mueller said. I would say we have a fun, family friendly atmosphere, and the employees have a lot of energy too so the enthusiasm has
been on both sides of the counter.
From Kents perspective, Rosevilles Blaze has a number of employees with a
lot of cooking potential. He is hoping they enjoy the same journey of discovery that hes experienced over the years.

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