TAKE A “MUSICAL ROAD TRIP” WITH 18 SHADES & FRIDRICH

Sandpoint, ID - National chart newcomer and local favorite 18 Shades, will be joining Seattle-based Fridrich and Vance Bergeson for a “Musical Road Trip” through “acoustic rock” on Saturday, September 18^th at 7PM at the Panida Theater. Local guitar-maker Bergeson is opening the concert with an earthy set of acoustic folk.  Shifting gears, Fridrich brings their blend of Afro-Cuban rock and harmonica blues to the stage.  18 Shades finishes with a foray into their polished rock blending taut melodies with 4-part harmonies.

Opening the show, Vance Bergeson will perform a set reminiscent of 1970’s folk rockers in a style similar to the raw, beautiful guitars that he builds.

Recently erupting out of the volcanic Seattle scene, Fridrich (recently dubbed “Seattle’s new supergroup”) follows Vance with a sizzling set culled from city streets around the world, incorporating Afro-Cuban, blues, rumba, and jazz influences.  The band members boast combined musical careers of over 200 years and have played with greats such as the Jackson 5, Garth Hudson (The Band) and Gloria Estefan.

Headlining the concert, northern Idaho band 18 Shades is on the fast track to superstardom, recently wrapping an album with the team behind Korn and Katy Perry.  Front-man, Jesse Bennett's intense and melodic vocals top off the band's larger than life style. Cory Howard's hard hitting guitars and infectious bluesy solos blend perfectly with the thunderous boom that is the rhythm section provided by Jason Stoddard on bass and KC Carter on drums.

NW-based Dave’s Killer Bread will be giving away a free loaf of their bread for every ticket sold, from 12PM – 2:30PM in Sandpoint (details at website).

All-ages show.  Tickets: $15 in advance, $20 at the door.  You can purchase tickets on-line at http://www.savorthesound.com/sandpoint or at the following ticket outlets: 7B Board Shop, Mick Duff’s (Sandpoint) and Calypso’s Coffee (Coeur d’Alene).

Victoria Brace

Sculpting with layers of light and shadow…that’s what Victoria Brace does in her oil paintings, which for Katherine Nelson happens in her lush, velvety charcoal drawings.

“I need to be able to improvise at any stage of the process,” explains Brace, a native of Russia who has been exhibiting in the Northwest since 2004. “I tend to work on the entire canvas, so it’s more like layers upon layers of alla prima paintings, where shapes keep shifting and re-adjusting and colors may change dramatically, until I hit the right note.”

For Nelson, the process begins with photographs, especially the architecture of Europe, like Brussels where she’d been living for several years before returning home to her beloved Palouse. Nelson is well-known for her vivid images of Eastern Washington’s wheat fields, which have enough mystery to "let the viewer complete what may be happening," said Nelson. It’s a similar approach to her new work, which she describes as a film noir approach that expresses "something to do with the mystery of the night."

The Elephant Man is based on the life of John Merrick, who lived in London during the latter part of the nineteenth century. A horribly deformed young man, victim of rare skin and bone diseases, he has become the star freak attraction in traveling side shows. Found abandoned and helpless, he is admitted to London's prestigious Whitechapel hospital. Under the care of celebrated young physician Frederick Treves, Merrick is introduced to London society and slowly evolves from an object of pity to an urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati only to be denied his ultimate dream, to become a man like any other. Winner of numerous Tony Awards including Best Play.
