VOLUME 4, NUMBER 44 • NOVEMBER 2, 2017
This week, we sing our love song
to coffee. It’s our lifeblood, the reason
507 continues to come out week after
week. We’re not ashamed to admit it:
we’re coffee addicts, and that’s the way
we like it. But even if you’re not, area
coffee shops have drinks to delight your
tastebuds. Turn to page 12 to check it out
for yourself.
It’s the annual raising of the dead
at the Day of the Dead Poets Slam on
Saturday at the Rochester Art Center, but
if you’re more of a movie buff than poetry
fiend, Roca has you covered with their
annual film fest.
If none of that is enticing, page 16 kicks
off our weekly events calendar. Hosting
an event? Add it for free at events.
postbulletin.com. We’d love to share it!

‘til the whistle blows
G E T I N V O LV E D61 1 . 2 . 1 7 O F F I C I A L L O V E
Without officials, any game is just recess, according to
Kristopher Loving, founder and president of Official Love.
He’s not wrong. Refs keep the game safe and fair. They
give back to the game they love, to the youth in their
community. Loving’s organization encourages those ages
16 to 24 to get involved with youth sports officiating by defraying
the upfront costs. Official Love provides uniforms, mentorships,
travel vouchers, and helps pay for camp registrations.
It’s a multi-faceted approach to something Loving feels is a life-
changing activity.
“I felt I’ve improved as a husband, as a father, as an employee, as
a neighbor, just as a person,” Loving says. “And I didn’t even realize
it. One day I was like, ‘Man, I feel like I’ve got better in all these
areas.’ What was the difference? I looked at it, it was all the habits
and the things I learned through officiating.”
Right now, Official Love works with some youth basketball
leagues, but they’ve helped connect refs to games in soccer,
lacrosse, football, basketball, and softball. Next year, they’ll work
with the Rochester Youth Football Association and the Girls
Lacrosse Association.
Still on the fence about
getting off the bench? Here
are four areas officiating
can change in your life.
1. Professional advancement and community engagement
“It’s been fun to open
people’s eyes and their minds
to there’s more to it than
just something to do on the
weekend or just a few extra
bucks,” Loving says. “There’s so
much more you can get from
it. It translates to any industry,
or any classroom. You’re always
going to encounter a boss or
a coworker or a customer or
a classmate, teacher, that you
don’t get along with or may
have a negative attitude. If you
can deal with it on the court,
then you can deal with it at
work, at school, at home. ”
2. Study habits To be an official, you have
to know the rules. Knowing
the mechanics, philosophies,
positioning, and more about
the sport you’re judging
is crucial, so Official Love
members study a lot of written
material and watch films.
3. TeamworkDepending on the sport,
more team effort may be there,
but you learn how to work with
people you don’t know toward
the same goal.
4. Health and wellness Officials don’t often realize
they are athletes themselves.
“We’ve got to take care of
ourselves before the game,
during, after, preseason,
postseason, eat right, good
sleep, stretching, etc,” says
Loving.
On Nov. 7 and 9, OMC sports medicine is hosting one hour
open house sessions for any official or prospective official. They
work with all kinds of athletes to create customized training. Now
they’re interested in customized training for officials.
“Even if you never officiate again, what you learn in these
sessions you could take with you and use anywhere,” says Loving.
The sessions are free, but RSVPs are encouraged. All ages are
welcome; anyone under 18 needs to have a parent’s signature.
If you’re looking to show support but aren’t ready to actually
officiating, keep your eyes peeled for their coupon books. Through
November 11, they’ve partnered with Herberger’s to sell coupon
books for $5. One hundred percent of the proceeds from book sales
go to the organization.
To engage with this organization, head over to their website,
official-love.org, or Facebook page, facebook.com/OfficialLoveOrg.

Memphis Soul and R&B come
together to crerate one legend-
heavy live experience. Based
on the film and record of the
same name, Take Me To The
River brings together generations of
legendary Memphis performers for a
night of transcendent music-making.
Their collaboration is a callback to the
heydays of Stax and Hi Records, which
set aside generational, gender, and racial
divides to make some of the most brilliant
music of all time. With so much historic
action on one stage, it’ll be hard to keep
track of what to be impressed by more.
Here, we’ve compiled a small cheat sheet
for each performer. Cut it out, fold it up,
and impress your seatmates with your
knowledge.

Going from karaoke to the chorus
Rochester Male Chorus
If you’re ready to move beyond belting out Taylor Swift’s latest love lament
in your shower, opportunities abound in Med City for serious singers.
So limber up your vocal chords and consider auditioning for one of these
worthy groups.
Rochester’s Choral Arts Ensemble gave me my first taste of Med City’s
thriving choral scene by sharing the stage with Garrison Keillor when he
brought the Prairie Home Companion to Rochester in November of 2014.
The Ensemble performs classical pieces, including Bach and Beethoven, and
showcases a cappella singing. Rehearsals are weekly August through May in
preparation for four or five main shows per year. The Ensemble is composed of
over forty singers with about equal numbers of male and female voices.
Rochester Male Chorus is a member of the Associated Male Choruses
of America. Their motto is: Good Singing, Good Fellowship, Public Service.
Rochester Male Chorus performs two main concerts per year, plus others for
local charitable organizations, and they join in the Associated Male Choruses’
Big Sing in April. They rehearse Monday evenings from September through
May. My friend Preston Hollister is one of the thirty or so members. Preston
is a joyful and natural performer who has been on stage at Goonie’s and sings
while he works at Costco! Preston confesses that he cannot read music, but
that is no drawback for Chorus membership. You just need to love singing.
My old friend Waldemar Gies recently joined the Rochester Symphony Chorale. My wife has always said Waldemar has a “sexy voice” so she was
happy to have him putting it to good use. Waldemar says he joined the Chorale
for the complexity of their music – a portion of which arises from singing in
Latin, German, Italian, French and English. Waldemar also enjoys rubbing
shoulders with music professionals – he says it keeps him on his toes. He’s
been singing for many years, starting with Der Amadeus Chor in Bavaria while
he was attending seminary in Germany. Waldemar considers voice and breath
as an instrument and music as part of his worship. The Rochester Symphony
Chorale has more than 80 members and about twice as many women as men.
These three are hardly the only organizations making art with voice. The
Rochester Civic Theatre Company and the Rochester Repertory Theatre, as
well as other local theatre groups, regularly stage musicals, hold auditions, and
share their love of song with us all.

High schoolers take the stage
H I G H S C H O O L T H E AT E R O N S TA G E 91 1 . 2 . 1 7
Area high schools are ripe with on-stage talent. Fall
theater season is in full swing, and we’ve rounded
up some of the shows you can find this week and
next.
First up is “In the Heights,” the musical
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote before “Hamilton,” will be
presented Nov. 16-19 by Mayo High School.The play is about the Hispanic-American Washington
Heights neighborhood of New York City, and follows the
daily events of the community. The play won four Tony
Awards, including Best Musical, and was nominated for
the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Miranda wrote the
music and lyrics, with book by Quiara Alegría Hudes.
Performances are 7 p.m. Nov. 16, 17 and 18, and 1:30
p.m. Nov. 19 in the Mayo auditorium. Tickets are $10,
$11 and $12, available at showtix4u.com.
Century High School will present the comedy “You Can’t Take it With You” Nov. 9-11, with a free senior
citizens matinee on Nov. 8.
The play, written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman,
follows the antics of a large,
crazy family living in New
York City. Things start to go
awry when Alice becomes
engaged to Tony, the son of
her boss, and he brings his
parents to dinner on the wrong
night. “You Can’t Take it With
You” won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize
for Drama.
Performances are 7 p.m. Nov. 9-11,
with the free senior citizen matinee at noon
on Nov. 8. Tickets are $5 in advance, available
from cast members, or $6 at the door.
Finally, the musical “Footloose” will be presented
Nov. 10-12 by Lake City Lincoln High School. The play
is about Ren McCormack, a Chicago teen who loves to
dance. When he and his mother move to a small town,
Ren finds himself in conflict with a conservative preacher
who wants to outlaw dancing.
Performances are 7 p.m. Nov. 10 and 11, and 2 p.m.
Nov. 12. Advance tickets are $$7 for adults, $5 for grades
K-6 and senior citizens. Tickets at the door are $8 and $6.

These walking dead aren’t zombies—
they’re poets. Though Sylvia Plath
and Gil Scott-Heron are dead,
their poetry give them eternal life.
Experience part of that life at the
Day of the Dead Poets Slam.
The event combines elements of
the traditional Dia de los Muertos
celebration with a live poetry-reading
competition.
“Combining a Mexican cultural
tradition with a recent literary
phenomenon is something that is
unique to the Day of the Dead Poets
Slam as far as I know,” says event
founder, director, and emcee Danny
Solis.
At the slam, costumed poets might
arrive in makeup while wielding props
to compete as the dead poet they
represent. The event’s carnival-like
atmosphere encourages rowdy crowd
participation, including cheers for
incredible performances and hisses for
the judges’ unfavorable scores.
The key to delivering another poet’s
work, says Solis, is “losing the self …
(and) opening yourself up to the spirit of
the poem, serving that singular piece of
vision and passion, and then giving it all
away to the audience.”
Now in its fourth year, the slam, which
takes place Nov. 4 at the Rochester Art
Center (RAC), is at the epicenter of
three compelling cultural happenings:
a youth poetry reading entitled “I
remember…”, a VIP (Very Important
Pachanga) Dance and Poetry Party, and
a Free Family Day featuring Dia de los
Muertos crafts at the RAC.
The competition, complete
with cash prizes, will take place
amidst decorated sugar skulls, altars
commissioned from local artists, and the
intense rhythms of Mexica Yololt and
Mexica Yololtzin, Aztec dancing groups.
With all the moving parts, the event
requires a lot of help. “I am a tiny part
of a really wonderful and talented
whole,” says Solis, “and that includes all
the production crew, visual artists, and
poets.” He also singles out McKay Bram,
the event’s grant writer, as being integral
to the process.
This year, eight poets were left
standing after the auditions. Solis, one
of three judges, describes the process as
“fraught with tension and the fickleness
of a five-minute sample of a performer’s
work.” Max Brumberg-Kraus (performing
as Antonin Artaud), Madeline Karita
Fleming (Amiri Baraka), Susan Cossette
(Sylvia Plath), Torres Hodges (Gil
Scott-Heron), Parvathi Balachandran
(Langston Hughes), Jennifer Jesseph
(Maxine Kumin), Ginger Fride (Frank
O’Hara), and Khadija Siddiqui (Parveen
Shakir) have all passed a trial by fire to
compete at the deadly slam.
In addition to poetry, local artists will
execute their own takes on traditional
Day of the Dead altars. “This year [the]
selection of artists…features several firsts
in terms of [the] artist’s identity and
collaborations” says Solis, pointing to the
event’s first husband-husband artistic
team of Jeff Jurewicz and Miguel Pareja
Cajiao, the first mother-daughter artistic
team of Karla Giguere and Genevieve
Giguere, and the first non-binary
transgender artist, Amarama Vercnocke.
This “dead” event’s lively atmosphere
makes it the perfect platform for art-
centered fun, and Solis promises the slam
will bring us closer together: “All the arts
make us more human. Poetry, dance,
music, [and] visual arts serve to make
us more understanding of each other, to
bridge the daunting voids between us.”

The (beer) haze craze
Barrel Theory 248 7th St. E, St. Paul
Make the trek to Barrel Theory in St. Paul, and you’ll be
greeted with mostly East-coast styles, some sours, and
maybe a stout or porter. But really, you’re there for the
juicy hops (though everything on the tap list is top-notch).
My favorite is Chazz Michael Michaels, featuring succulent
grapefruit and herbal pine flavors. Double Dry Hopped Rain Drops is just as good, with
aroma and flavors of black currant, cattiness (from the Citra hops), and grapefruit pith.
As for a third choice, well, everything. Buy a sample size of everything.
The East-coast IPA, Northeast IPA, New England IPA.
All these names are used to describe a juicy, hazy, fruity IPA-style brew. I prefer
the term East-coast IPA, so that’s what we’ll stick with. But just what is it?
Detractors call it an abomination, something brewed by those with lesser skill,
or perhaps even by cheaters who put flour into their beer to give it that cloudy
appearance.
In truth, it’s a tough beer to do right. When brewed correctly, it has a juicy aroma
and flavor (thanks to hops and the yeast strain used) with a hazy appearance (because
of excessive dry-hopping and certain high-protein grains), but also a silky, velvety
mouthfeel due to the grain bill and even water chemistry.
Though these beers have been around for longer than most realize, Rochester
has seen a bit of an East-coast IPA awakening of late. We have Forager Brewing Co.
knocking them out of the park and keeping them on the tap list, along with Grand
Rounds producing one of the very best ever brewed in the city (Beer J).
It’s safe to say that everyday Rochesterites are getting into the haze craze. While the
Great American Beer Festival may not recognize the beer style yet, these are the places
you should be quaffing this juicy treat at. Since this style doesn’t make it to stores
often, you may have to travel for a taste of some of these. But it is
totally worth it.
Disgruntled Brewing 735 2nd St. NE, Perham
Stupid Good is one of the first hazy
IPAs to really be noticed as a great
interpretation of the style in the state.
You get grapefruit, some mango,
some lemon, and just a soft bitter
backbone. While still the foundation
of Disgruntled’s hazy oeuvre, pretty
much every hazy beer brewed way up
north (this place is a trek), is a home
run. Reaper, a juicy melon, lemon, and
grapefruit uppercut, is my favorite along
with Rabid Dog, a mango-heavy treat.
Luckily, you can find crowlers of these
beers in select Twin Cities locations.
Forager 1005 6th St. NW, Rochester
At one point, head brewer Austin
Jevne decided to make east-coast
IPAs because, well, it was one of the
things his brewing team liked to drink.
And it’s been a winning move. You’ll
always find a hazy IPA on tap here,
and Forger is considered a top-three
maker of the style in the state. If on
tap, I highly recommend Regal Hops
(the latest batches really nailed what
Citra hops are all about), Decent, a more
approachable orange juice bomb with
some underlying bitterness to bring it
full-circle, and Chucklebox Hops. Named
for a prominent beer geek in Minnesota,
‘box employs a combo of orange juice
and lemon zest.

Barrel Theory
Warm drinks and tasty treats
by KAYLEY GAMM
If you are like me, coffee and
tea are everyday staples;
necessities to survive the
daily grind. Local coffee shops
in Rochester are few and far
between, but the coffee shops
we do have certainly make a
name for themselves. Along
with piping hot mugs of liquid
gold, these shops often serve
pastries and other food items for
a delicious treat. I talked with the
owners and managers of three
independent coffee shops to find
out what their signature drinks
are and which yummy treat would
pair well with them.
OLD ABE COFFEE COMPANY832 7th St. NW, Rochester
You may know Old Abe from his coffee cart that he has
downtown and at the farmer’s market on Saturdays, but he
opened up a brick and mortar shop a few months ago. Abe
Sauer will still be providing coffee from his cart while the
weather starts cooling down, but we now will be able to get
his delicious drinks all year round.
While we typically think of coffee and pastries as the
perfect pairing, Sauer had some other ideas. He pairs
his food with savory vegan dishes featuring Herbivorous
Butcher meats.
A favorite of his as the weather turns chilly is the
Norwegian Irish Coffee. It’s like traditional Irish coffee,
made with brown sugar and whipped cream, but without
the whiskey. “The brown sugar gives it a real toasty flavor,”
he says. A great choice for the morning, Sauer says the
drink pairs particularily well with his bagel and vegan cream
cheese, which is sprinkled with dill and freshly chopped
green onions. Oh, and if y

FIDDLEHEAD COFFEE CO.1005 6th St. NW, Rochester
Fiddlehead Coffee Co. opened a little more than
a month ago and has been gaining a loyal following.
Co-owner Patrick Phelan says that they are getting a
relatively steady stream of clients coming in. One thing to
be said about Phelan is that he is passionate: passionate
about his drinks, their flavors, and those who taste them.
All ingredients used in the beverages are locally sourced
and carefully thought-out.
The first drink Phelan fawned over is the Thai Latte,
made with sweetened condensed cream, coconut cream,
honey, and a hint of cayenne. This drink warms you up
from the inside out. It is creamy and slightly sweet, but
the cayenne gives it just the right kick that has a warming
effect in the back of the throat and chest. This was made
with Forager’s new Thai-inspired menu, so it pairs really
well with the light and bright flavors of their Pad Thai.
The second isn’t a caffinated beverage, but definitely
worth noting. The Drinking Chocolate is a must-try. It
is made from a carefully curated blend of three different
chocolates, Himalayan sea salt, and a vanilla gastrique,
which is use as a sweetener. Topped with a w
vanilla panna, this drink is “fit for an empero

CAFE STEAM315 S Broadway, Rochester
Cafe Steam has been a downtown coffee shop staple
since 2015. They focus on community building, and are
ardent supporters of local art and music. You are sure to
find familiar faces anytime you stop by, as many patrons
post up for meetings, work, or general conversation.
There is honestly not a bad thing on the menu.
General manager Will Forsman is passionate about all
things coffee. He says his kryptonite at the moment
is their Ethiopia Homacho Waeno Light Roast. He
described the coffee as having a chocolate-y, lemon zest
flavor that stands alone well, but is extra magical when
paired with the soft and crunchy almond biscotti. He
recommends dipping the biscotti in the coffee for the
best results. The other customer favorite is the Flat
White. He recommends pairing it with the double
fudge brownie (both pictured at left). The Flat White
provides a rich creaminess that pairs well with the
brownie, which “people return to our shop every day
for,” Forsman says. All pastry items are made locally by
Top Tier Delights.
Café Steam also serves up kombucha from Bootlegger
Brewing. They are currently serving an apple
cinnamon kombucha, which Will recommends pairing
with a pumpkin cream cheese muffin. After all, nothing
says fall like apple, pumpkin, and cinnamon.

IN THE GAME
For those of us afraid of heights, rock
climbing isn’t always an enjoyable
pastime. This weekend, however,
you can break out of the mold and
be inspired by a series of four short
films featuring climbers who take on new
heights and face bigger challenges than
just the rock face.
For the third year in a row, Roca
Climbing & Fitness is hosting the Reel
Rock Film Tour. “Reel Rock collects new
climbing and adventure films from the
year and cuts and edits them into a two-
part film,” says Sierra Koethe, manager
at Roca. The past two years has seen
attendance climb upwards of 100. “People
love it,” says Koethe.
What can you expect from this year’s
film?
There are four parts, featuring a wide
range of feats. There’s “Above the Sea,” a
tale of solo climbing without ropes above
the sea. “Safety Third” tells the story of
one climber unhindered by the fear of
falling. The aptly-named “Stumped” is the
story of climber Maureen Beck, a woman
born without the bottom of her lower left
arm. “I don’t want to be known as just a
one-armed climber,” she says. “I just want
to be a good climber.”
And then there’s “Break on Through,”
which Koethe is most excited for. She
says it’s “a story of the struggles and
final achievement of a professional rock
climber Margo Hayes, 19 years old, on the
hardest route ever climbed by a female.”

You don’t have to be a climber to enjoy the Reel
Rock film. However, knowing a bit about rock
climbing difficulty may be helpful.
America uses the Yosemite Decimal System to
rate difficulty of trails and climbs. All rock climbs
begin with a number 5, meaning it’s a class 5, a
vertical, technical rock climb. (A class 1 would be a
walk around Silver Lake, notes Koethe).
There is a secondary number that details just
how difficult the climb is. A 5.8 is considered a
moderate route, whereas a 5.12 is expert. “In
the first film (“Break on Through”), Margo Hayes
become the first female to climb the grade of
5.15,” says Koethe.

507 MAGAZINE | EVENTS.POSTBULLETIN.COM | 11.2.17 | 1 5
Thank You For Your Service (R, 109 min.) H H H H H Along with a number of memorable supporting players, Miles Teller is heartbreakingly effective as a U.S. sergeant returning from his third deployment to Iraq with his limbs intact but a fragile mind and psyche. This is a movie about the horrors of war and the extremely difficult and sometimes insurmountable challenges faced by the young soldiers after the fighting has ended and they’re back home.
Geostorm (PG-13, 109 min.) A system built to protect the earth from natural disasters has gone haywire and is attacking the world it was meant to save. It’s a race against time to uncover the threat before a worldwide geostorm destroys everything and everyone.
The Foreigner (R, 114 min.) When his daughter is killed in an act of political terrorism, a humble London businessman with a buried past goes in search of justice. A game of cat and mouse begins with a government official, whose own past may hold a clue to the identity of the killers.
Blade Runner 2049 (R, 163 min.) H H H H H The tight control of Ryan Gosling makes him the perfect choice to play a replicant cop that just might be human. This vibrant, gorgeous, and occasionally incomprehensible hallucinatory epic stands with the likes of “The Godfather Part II” as a sequel worthy of the original classic.
It (R, 135 min.) H H H H H This R-rated interpretation of Stephen King’s masterful 1986 novel is a bold, intense, beautifully paced, wickedly hilarious, seriously scary, and gorgeously terrifying period-piece work that instantly takes its place among the most impressively twisted horror movies of our time.
Only the Brave (PG-13, 133 min.) H H H H This profile of firefighters who risked their lives to battle monstrous blazes in the Southwest plays like a classic military story about soldiers from various walks of life who bond as brothers. They’re a plausible and likable bunch, thanks to a slow build of their back stories, not to mention the outstanding cast headed by Josh Brolin and Jeff Bridges.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (R, 142 min.) H H H H One Academy Award winner after another play cartoonish cardboard characters spouting ridiculous and often painfully unfunny dialogue. If you liked the original “Kingsman,” the best way to preserve that memory is to stay away from this bigger, louder sequel.
Lego Ninjago Movie (PG, 101 min.) Shunned for being the son of an evil warlord, one teenager seeks to defeat his father with the help of his fellow ninjas.
The Mountain Between Us (PG-13, 109 min.) H H H H When it’s just a tedious and corny survival story, “The Mountain Between Us” is at least bearable, thanks mainly to the all-in performances from Kate Winslet and Idris Elba as strangers trying to remain alive in an unforgiving, icy wilderness. They butt heads and make up so many times you almost start rooting for the elements to win out, just so these two would shut up.
American Made (R, 115 min.) H H H H Tom Cruise gives one of his most energized and charming performances in years as a real-life CIA operative who laundered millions in ill-gotten cash and flew guns and cocaine. Sure, we get some big action, but the most memorable scenes involve Cruise in a room with a handful of other characters, usually neck-deep in an untenable situation.
A Bad Moms Christmas (R, 101 min.)
Thor: Ragnarok (PG-13, 130 min.)

by ANNE HALLIWELL
You may know her from folk trifecta
The Wailin’ Jennys or from her
collaborations with Mark Knopfler,
but Ruth Moody is more than
capable of commanding a stage on
her own.
Her concert at the Chatfield Center for
the Arts (featuring guest Knopfler) will
be the second stop on her tour for “These
Wilder Things,” her second solo album
with Red Wing Records.
During the final week of tour prep,
507 caught up with the vocalist and
multi-instrumentalist to talk about
new motherhood (and touring with an
11-month-old), new records, and why
singing with Heather Masse and Nicky
Mehta from the Jennys is like “putting on
your favorite pajamas.”
How are you feeling about the new
tour?
Excited! It’s my first time back on the
road with my own band since I had a baby,
so it’s gonna be a whole new adventure.
He’ll be on the road with me and I’m sure
it will be completely different. But it’s
exciting.
What’s your favorite part of touring?
I love performing. There’s nothing quite
like being able to play music for people
who have chosen to show up and listen
to it. That’s just an amazing gift and I just
love that conversation. … There are things
that are challenging about it, there’s a lot
of logistics - especially with a baby, it’s
not easy to travel. And it can be physically
challenging on the body. But then when
you get up on stage and you know that
you’re meant to be there, and that people
are receptive and ready to hear the music
and be a part of that, that’s what makes it
all worthwhile.
What’s it like to tour as a new mom?
I had all sorts of plans before I had a
baby. And then I realized that many of
the things you plan don’t come to fruition
once you’re a mother. That’s been a
really huge change in my life … The best
thing about it is that it teaches you to be
present and to surrender to the moment
in a way few other things can … Your life
is basically about this little being that
needs you, whereas before I spent all of
my time and energy on music, and on
touring. Now there’s this other outlet,
this other thing that takes my energy and
focus, but it’s also a source for inspiration
and it’s a teacher and it’s just really
changed everything for me.
Has motherhood affected your
songwriting process?
I actually haven’t had a lot of time to
write since my son was born. … I did
write a lot when I was pregnant, so I have
an album’s worth of songs from that time
that are maybe not inspired so much from
motherhood, but inspired by whatever
creative force was happening when I had
this little being growing inside. So I’m
really excited to get those recorded and
get those out. And then now that he’s
starting to sleep at night for more than
two hours at a time, and we’re starting to
get to the point where he doesn’t need me
every two hours, I’m starting to fit in time
to play and time to write. I’m starting to
find balance now, which is exciting. And I
think anything as monumental as having
a baby can just open up different parts
of you and get you outside yourself and
just get you looking at things
from different angles, so I
anticipate that there will be
some interesting things that
come out onto paper as soon
as I get the chance.
The new album by your
other band, The Wailin’
Jennys, came out on Oct.
27. It’s your first in six
years. How did it happen?
We got to the point where
we really wanted to record,
especially for our fans, who
have been so patient. So we
decided to go for it. My son
was only two months old, and Nicky and
Heather could only be away from their
boys for a week. So we had five days in the
studio to make a record. Which is insane,
given that in the past, we’ve had 40 days
… So this time, we just decided, ‘Okay,
we have five days, let’s just do something
pared-down and just essentially the way
we perform live’ … and that sort of took
the pressure off, a little bit. As did the
decision to record covers, because it sort
of helped us have a little bit more fun
with it.
How does it feel to go back to the
Wailin’ Jennys after releasing solo
albums?
They’re really special women, really
great singers. It sort of feels like putting
on your favorite pajamas, in a way …
Singing with Heather and Nicky is a very
comfortable and natural and easy thing.
It’s always exciting to do new things, and I
think that having a balance in that way is
really important, because one can inform
the other and keep things fresh. If all of
us just did the Jennys 12 months a year,
I think we’d probably burn out on it, just
like you burn out on anything if you do it
too much.
