As cofounder and leader of the seminal progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival through 18 years during the 1970s and ’80s, Bush may not be the only person responsible for newgrass, the wild bluegrass stepchild that features rock ‘n’ roll grooves and extended virtuosic jams, but since New Grass Revival’s dissolution in 1989, Bush has certainly been one of the most brilliant of newgrass’s many bright lights. [...] he’s still as vital a presence on the acoustic music scene as ever: still making new sounds, still rockin’ out on great songs, and still pushing the bar higher for the legions of his protégés, fans and friends.

6-9:30PM@ Brown’s Island

Friday Cheers - Sam Bush (w/ The Whiskey Rebellion)

Fri May 23 6:00 pm
@ Brown’s Island
Though he admits a certain discomfort with the moniker “King of Newgrass,” Sam Bush has more than earned it. As cofounder and leader of the seminal progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival through 18 years during the 1970s and ’80s, Bush may not be the only person responsible for newgrass, the wild bluegrass stepchild that features rock ‘n’ roll grooves and extended virtuosic jams, but since New Grass Revival’s dissolution in 1989, Bush has certainly been one of the most brilliant of newgrass’s many bright lights. He helped create newgrass music almost 35 years ago, but Laps in Seven is evidence that he’s still as vital a presence on the acoustic music scene as ever: still making new sounds, still rockin’ out on great songs, and still pushing the bar higher for the legions of his protégés, fans and friends.

The candidate also says that backers of the marina project “have left many important fiscal and other questions either unanswered or incompletely answered”. [via email]

“I oppose the proposed Echo Harbour project, and I will not support it” he added.

In a statement, Goldman continued:

“As for those who have proposed what is generally known as the Marina project, I believe they have left many important fiscal and other questions either unanswered or incompletely answered in terms. As I said in developing the basic planks of the fiscal plan that was used, after the others had failed, to modernize the Carpenter Center as the lynchpin of a downtown Arts Center, there are a mandatory set of fiscal and other questions which must be answered in a way that provides full transparency and understanding to citizens of the community.”

“We need to turn the page and move away from the old politics.”

discuss: International Environmental Concerns

Mon May 12 6:30 pm
@ GlobeHopper
Back Porch Conversations at GlobeHopper - Open issue-based dialogue.
You are cordially invited to join us for conversations on the Back Porch, Monday evenings at GlobeHopper coffee house. GlobeHopper, located at 2100 E Main Street, is home to a weekly forum of open issue-based community discussions. Back Porch moderates multi-media discussions based on social topics of social-interest. Gathering begins at 6:30pm, multi-media discussion begins promptly at 7:00pm.

This Monday, May 12 we will be deviating from the original scheduled topic of local foods to talk about recent happenings in the news. Last week’s cyclone in Burma has left one million survivors without foreign aid and we thought we should use this Monday to talk about international environmental concerns such as the cyclone, exploring the role of the international community in addressing these issues .

Join us to talk about the social aspects of environmental issues and disasters. We will examine the concept of environmental injustice: the idea that environmental issues tend to disproportionately impact people of lower socio economic status.
