The last time Jim Breuer was in Toledo, he was working on a set of material for a new comedy special being filmed shortly after his Glass City appearance. Now, that special is recorded and ready for distribution. So, what’s Breuer working on this time? Another new special, of course.

“The one that’s filmed comes out this spring — it’ll come out on [premium cable channel] Epix and Netflix,” Breuer said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. “So this one I’m working on a whole [new show]. Just started last week and this has got a lot of new material that no one has ever seen before.”

There’s no rest for the seasoned comic. The veteran of “Saturday Night Live,” “Half Baked” and more clearly does not believe in resting on his laurels as he prepares to play the Funny Bone at Fat Fish Blue in Perrysburg on March 8 and 9. He said that developing new material can be a little nerve-racking — but he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“It’s a little spooky at first, but I freaking love it. Last week in San Jose, [Calif.], I did pretty much a whole new hour and got a standing O. I was so freaking excited. Because, you know, I have all the material to fall back on, just in case. When I’m doing all the newer stuff, I’ll give them all the other stuff they still haven’t seen yet.

“And I’m pretty confident, too,” Breuer added. “Nobody’s seen all the stuff that I’ve already put on film that hasn’t been released yet. So I’m al-ready locked and loaded with an hour and a half, two hours of playing material.”

Breuer also has another advantage — a seem-ingly effortless connection to area audiences, exemplified by the tremendous response he’s gotten with each trip through the Glass City.

“For one thing, I consider that area kinda blue-collar, and I relate really well to blue-collar. I grew up like that, my dad grew up in that area,” he said. “So I think that just the blue-collar mentality of how that area grew up, I can relate to it really well.”

In addition to the pressure of developing new material, there’s another facet of Breuer’s new di-rection. While for years the comic played for a largely adult audience with a more mature set of material, in recent years he’s toned down his act into something a little more family-friendly — a shift that is beginning to pay dividends in the makeup of his audiences.

“I’m starting to see multigenerations showing up. And it’s probably the best stand-up I’ve ever had, hands down. In the past, I was really just trying to — I don’t wanna say ‘shock’ ‘em, but really trying to appease the audience. Well, now, I’m appeasing myself and not trying to appease an audience to just be funny in general. Where now, I think I hit every demographic.”

Many audiences are familiar with Breuer from his most famous gigs, though, most sig-nificantly his three-year run as a cast member on NBC institution “Saturday Night Live.” Still, if you ask the man himself, he is much happier being in control of who and what he is onstage every night nowadays.

“‘SNL’ is a different beast. You gotta do char-acters, and you’re trying to appease an audience. You’re in a certain mold, you’re forced to be in a certain mold. Stand-up, I’m a free entity. I get to go far and wide and do what I want. I’m not edited, and I’m not trying to be a character or do a specific type of comedy.”

That joy of freedom extends now to the way his specials are distributed in the age of streaming video. “In the past, we were kinda pigeonholed with Comedy Central and HBO, or [another] cable network. And the big problem with that is, once they air it, you gotta hope they air it enough times for people to see it, and you’re really only looking at a one-month run of certain times.

“So when Netflix came, I thought this was a perfect match, because I don’t fit on Comedy Cen-tral. Their audience is really young boys. Young, like, juvenile-type boys. My audience has broad-ened. So you’ll be able to watch me at any time. You can download me at 10 am, you can watch me in front of your family ... I like that I have that kind of full access now. I like that I don’t have a network going, ‘He’s on at 1 a.m.’ I mean, what kind of par-ents are up at 1 a.m. to watch me, when they’re my target audience?”

He hasn’t forsaken cable entirely, though — Breuer is also working on a pilot for VH1, as well as a complete revamp of his website. But don’t ex-pect the ever-busy Breuer to completely embrace social networking just yet.

“The tweeting’s not gonna get people in the club. It’s nice for publicity or whatever, but my wheelhouse is onstage. When I’m home, I’m home. I’m a father, I’m also a son with an elderly father who lives with me. I don’t have time to try and be funny all the time. There’s a human side to everyone. I really don’t have that energy that I feel like I need to be on 24/7.” O

Five prominent Toledo musicians are the sub-

jects of the new documentary, “Playing Nightly.”Jeff Stewart, Johnny Rodriguez, John Barile,

Bobby May and Kyle White are featured in the film, which will premiere March 5 in Maumee. Toledo natives Jason Hamilton and Mike Malone

produced the film.Hamilton, also a director, started making a film

about a guitar player years ago, but the project’s fi-nancing fell through. However, he still wanted to make a film about professional musicians.

“Sometimes we have a concept or are given a concept of what ‘making it’ is. What we lose some-times is that people are making a living doing what they love and that’s pretty cool,” he said.

Hamilton and Malone, also a videographer, first worked together on 1998’s “The Toledo Conspiracy,” the first 35-mm feature film shot totally in Toledo.

Malone, a member of the band Locoweed, also brought his own experience as a musician to the film.

“It was a labor of love, I’ll tell you, it really was,” he said.

Toledo itself is also an integral character in the film.

“A lot of people, my wife for one and her sis-ters, think that this is a great thing for Toledo because it looks like Toledo is a really boppin’ town,” Malone said.

While the crew was filming a segment on May and Barile at Ye Olde Cock n’ Bull, a Toledo Mud Hens game got rained out.

“So it looks like there’s people walking around in the rain; that’s how happening Toledo is,” Malone said with a laugh.

Stewart, a busy singer/songwriter, added, “That’s how it is now. It’s starting to happen now a little bit. It’s happening in waves.”

“We have the ability to make a living here with our trade. People talk about how there’s so many gigs here. We can do that; we can work as much as we want and be comfortable.”

Barile, who has shared the stage with Jethro Tull and Foreigner, said he hopes the film gets big so people can see the quality of musicians Toledo has to offer.

“There’s awesome, awesome musicians in To-ledo. I’ll put them up against any musicians in the country,” he said.

“[The musicians in the film] are all fantastic musicians and it takes a more or less special type of person to play music seven or eight times a week.”

Rodriguez, a longtime performer on the Glass City music scene who has performed with The Drifters, said with a chuckle, “I felt kind of hum-bled by the fact that I was featured [in the film].”

The musicians also said Hamilton and Malone put them at ease during the interviews and filming.

“They’re such easygoing guys. It was easy to get right into the plan,” said May, who is the in-spiration for Crystal Bowersox’s “Grey Haired Rock Stars.”

White, who has been playing in Toledo for 15 years, said, “I didn’t feel weird or intimidated by it or anything. Just because these guys are so cool

and made me feel really comfortable.”Stewart said everyone came across authenti-

cally in the documentary.“Once you started talking, Jason’s very good

at making it conversational so you really started forgetting about the camera,” he said.

Hamilton said he allowed the musicians to tell the story rather than have a narrator.

“The interesting thing that we do with this is there’s no narration and we try to take the interviewer out of the equation totally … it’s a little different from a standard documentary you might see,” he said.

May chimed in, “And if it’s a huge success, can we do our own voices on the cartoon series?”

The producers plan to use any donations gathered at the Maumee premiere to enter the documentary into film festivals to build acclaim.

“The more we have of that, it will create a cer-tain amount of awareness. With a documentary,

you’re not going to see a lot of theatrical releases, but you can have an avenue for Netflix, iTunes, for those kind of structures,” Hamilton said, adding that he plans to continue to explore the Toledo music scene in future works.

Hamilton said his favorite part of the film is “when you hear people talk about their families and that life and kind of [developing] their orig-inal voices … that’s wildly interesting.”

Barile said his favorite moment of filming was talking about “his greatest performance” — playing guitar for his then 25-minute-old daughter Aria. She is now three and already a musician.

Hamilton said that while filming, he learned how close-knit Toledo musicians are, something the musicians also echoed.

“I thought it was awesome to be included with a group of such inspiring musicians who have been inspiring me musically over the

years,” White said.Hamilton and Malone also noted that the

Toledo community has been supportive of the project. Many bars let them hang posters in their businesses, they said, and about 15 Toledo bars are featured in the film.

Barile credited Toledo with enabling him to perform for a living.

“People have always supported me on both a personal and professional level,” he said, later adding, “I can’t imagine having to wear a tie.”

“Playing Nightly” is 73 minutes long. The film will be shown at 7:15 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. March 5 at the Maumee Indoor Theatre, 601 Conant St., Maumee. A red carpet photogra-pher will be on hand and a donation of $5 is suggested for attending.

May and Barile will play at an after-party at the Village Idiot, 309 Conant St., Maumee.

Toledoans can once again see “The Three Stooges” on the big screen.

Part of the Lyric Photoplay Society’s classic movie series, Moe, Larry and Curly’s shenani-gans will play at the Maumee Indoor Theatre for one day in March.

This is the start of the fifth year for the film series at Maumee Indoor.

Lyric Photoplay Society Chairman Evan J. Chase chose to bring the Stooges back after the response last year.

“Last year we did our first one and we just packed the place,” Chase said. “It was very, very popular. So, we’re getting another assortment of some of the best Stooges to show on the big screen.”

The assortment consists of 1934’s “Three Little Pigskins,” 1935’s “Pardon My Scotch,” 1937’s “Dizzy Doctors” and 1941’s “An Ache In Every Stake.”

The Lyric Photo Society specializes in “presenting classic movies in the best pos-sible projection and on a big theater screen,” Chase said. The Maumee Indoor was perfect, Chase said, because of its state-of-the-art digital projection.

“It’s probably the best in the area, especially when you run classic movies,” Chase said.

Chase chooses all of the films in the series. Chase, a baby boomer, fell in love with classic movies when his aunt and uncle would take him to the Redford Theatre in Detroit, an “ornate” theater with a pipe organ.

“That kind of spurred me on to want to bring that to Toledo,” Chase said. “The old movies just reflect a much better time in society … they’re time capsules; everything about them is fun.”

Chase likes to pick movies that people may not be familiar with, in a “diversified ap-proach” with genres. For a musical, he chose “Funny Face,” starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. “King Kong” will also be showing in April.

“It’s the only ‘King Kong’ that was ever really true to the feel of the story,” Chase said. “The spe-cial effects were so ahead of their time.”

Chase said years ago the series only attracted an older crowd. Nowadays, he said, there are a lot of younger people interested.

“There’s a lot of hard-core classic movie fans out there, and there’s a lot of younger ones too,” Chase said.

So far, 2013 is shaping up to be a productive year for local rockers Halero.

The band will headline the University of To-ledo’s RockeTHON dance marathon on April 20, an event which helps raise funds for Chil-dren’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Additionally, Halero is set to begin recording its debut album in early March, one that’s already more than halfway funded thanks to the band’s recently launched Kickstarter project for the record.

An online fundraising tool for creative proj-ects, Kickstarter was originally a way for fans to preorder Halero’s upcoming album and fund the recording in the process.

However, the band has been pleasantly sur-prised that most of the donations have been high.

“So far only one person has just done $10,” Halero drummer Donovon Thakur said. “Everybody else has thrown that or way more than that at us, and so it’s really cool that we’re getting that kind of support.”

Featuring Thakur, Matt Chlebowski (lead vocals, guitars), Sawyer Frey (guitars, vocals) and Amanda Frey (bass), the members have roots that trace back before the band’s incep-tion. Thakur and Chlebowski grew up as next door neighbors, while Sawyer and Amanda are siblings. All four graduated from An-thony Wayne High School.

When Thakur and Chlebowski decided to form a band, Thakur turned to Sawyer.

“He was one of my guitar students, actually, and I knew that he had a lot of potential,” Thakur said of Sawyer. Thakur studied guitar perfor-mance at Bowling Green State University and is now pursuing graduate studies in music therapy at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.

After Halero’s former drummer moved away, Thakur moved from bass to drums and the band operated as a trio for a couple years. Halero then released its EP “Actually Pretty Good” before determining that adding a bassist would be ideal and bringing Amanda on board about a year ago.

“She’s doing pretty well,” Thakur said of Amanda. “She definitely had a lot of catchup to play, and that was pretty rough for her to get all the catchup. But we really put in a lot of time to give her all the resources that she would need to catch up.”

While Thakur said the band is a little ner-vous about tracking songs for its upcoming

full-length, the band is equally excited about recording at Little Elephant Recording with Rob Courtney and Brian Gross-Bias.

“If you check out Little Elephant Re-cording, they are two busy guys because they are recording almost every Toledo band I’ve ever heard of,” Thakur said.

In addition to providing the most finan-cially efficient studio, Thakur said that the enthusiasm of Courtney and Gross-Bias was also reassuring.

“We’re really excited to work with them,” Thakur said.

Halero has been busy working on new material for the full-length, a process that Thakur said has been a collective effort and gone exceptionally well.

“Our writing process is pretty unique be-cause we write almost entirely in collabora-tion,” Thakur said. “I know a couple of our older songs would be [created when] Matt would bring in an idea, or I know I’ve written one of the songs and Sawyer has written one of the songs, and we come in and then we all kind of write parts to their songs.

“But these new songs have been [created when] someone brings in an idea that’s less than 10 seconds, and then we write the rest of the song all in collaboration together. So I think that’s pretty different than of how a lot of bands write.”

Thakur said he hopes Halero will have its new album out by April, which would coin-cide perfectly with UT’s RockeTHON.

“We’re headlining that, and so that’s going to be for a crowd of over 700 people right after our album gets out,” Thakur said. “That’s the big news for us.” O

oted science fic-tion novelist Orson Scott Card has been

hired by DC Comics to write a Superman story for their upcoming anthology title Adventures of Superman. That sounds like a good move, right? Well, a storm of controversy has whipped up over the announcement, due to Card’s notoriety as an outspoken opponent of gay marriage and a member of an organization that seeks to ban it.

Some fans see the hiring as bizarre, what with the Man of Steel championing the rights of people every-where. Others have pro-claimed that they’ll boycott the project al-together; at least one comic retailer has said he won’t carry Adventures of Superman and may even drop all of DC’s titles. Even production of the film adaptation of Card’s most famous work, “Ender’s Game,” may slow down while the writer weathers the storm.

Ed Katschke, manager of Monarch Cards & Comics, who is openly gay, has a different take on the issue.

“While I completely understand the emotional reaction some gay activists

are having to news of noted author and homophobe Orson Scott Card’s partici-pation in the [title], I also find it rather unnecessary to shed too much light and at-tention upon the situation. Since the work that he has been hired to perform on

Superman is one chapter in an ongoing project that is primarily going to be seen through digital

distribution, I personally think it would be better to just ignore the whole thing and watch as his small contribution to

the Superman legend sinks without a trace. People will find themselves tuning in

merely to see what he has to add to the Superman legend and I guarantee it won’t be much.”

DC’s official response noted that they “steadfastly support freedom of expression,” but also that the “personal views of individuals associated with DC Comics are just that — personal views — and not those of the com-pany itself.” O

If you have visited Twitter lately and follow celebrities like Katy Perry, Rihanna or Jessica Simpson, there is a good chance you saw a pic-ture or two of their nails. But they don’t just have a set of freshly polished hands; their nails are covered in minimasterpieces, or nail art. Any-thing from small designs to intricate portraits of the President, Hollywood’s glam girls now have something else to glam up — their nails.

And of course, trends seen on the red carpet make their way to the Glass City. From teens to mothers of teens it’s a hot trend that everyone is trying.

“Everyone started getting into it when they saw celebs have it,” said Ally Stricker, a nail tech-nician at Soto Loft and Signature Spa.

Stricker has been a nail tech for three years and says nail art has revolutionized the nail business.

“It’s changed a lot. Before it was nail art for long, thick acrylic nails, now more people are liking natural nails and they are realizing nail art is for everyone and every profession.”

Nail artHot trend hits Toledo.

Nail designs on display at Soto Loft and Signature Spa, 580 Craig Drive in Perrysburg. TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAR PHOTO BY JOSEPH HERR

“Virtually ever writer I know would rather be a musician.” — Kurt Vonnegut TOLEDOFREEPRESS.COM / FEB. 27, 2013 n 15

Stricker had a passion for nail art years before it became popular.

“I’ve been doing nail art since I have been little. My mom brought home a striper brush from [Sally Beauty Supply] and I did a crisscross pattern on my toenails and was hooked since.”

Nail art has come a long way since Stricker’s line designs on her toes. Now nail art consists of tiny pictures, shapes and designs. To create the look, small gems, beads and even glitter are used. These minimasterpieces are all individual, as most nail techs, like Stricker, create each de-sign freehand.

Stricker says her clients are not shy with their nail art requests and she will try to accommodate her clients’ wishes.

“I have a girl that is a runner, so every time she has a race we do something to correlate with the race,” Stricker said. “A lot of people go onto Pinterest, find a picture and bring it in to me. Someone wanted a champagne glass for New Year’s.”

Beverly France has been getting her nails done for more than 15 years. She isn’t afraid to put Stricker to work.

“For the holiday season she did snowflakes and I just loved them,” France said. “She put a

diamond in the middle of them. Then in the summertime I did butterflies, for Halloween spider webs and flowers here and there.”

France is so in love with the nail art trend that she brings her granddaughters to see Stricker.

“She is the most talented nail artist out there. I tell her, ‘Ally, go back to school and get a degree in art.’ I wish I had her talent.”

Nail art costs usually start at a couple dol-lars a nail and up. Every salon sets their prices differently and prices are often based on the difficulty of the design. Since this is such a hot trend, there are now do-it-yourself kits and websites available. Revlon has a nail art enamel pen for around $7. You can also buy mini brushes and nail art kits at stores like Sally Beauty Supply and even stores where kids shop like Justice.

“I’ve had someone who came in to have me teach their girls how to do it.” Stricker said. “It’s cool to get the girls into it.”

If you are new at nail art and not sure if it is for you, Stricker says a lot of her clients try a design on one finger. She said the goal is to get people accustomed to new looks and trends.

“The French manicure was in for so long, and acrylic nails. Now the most popular colors are dark,” Stricker said. “Nails now are very posh and fun. That is the trend out there now.” O

On March 1, the Glass City will have plenty to keep their mugs full as the 7th Annual Glass City Beer Fest takes over the Lucas County Rec-reation Center.

This year’s event will showcase 42 breweries and offer 175 different tastes including suds from local breweries such as Maumee Bay Brewing Co., Great Black Swamp Brewing and Sugar Ridge Brewery. Regional favorites such as Great Lakes Brewing Company, Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales and Goose Island will also pour beers from their extensive portfolios. Revenue from the event will help support The Arc Lucas County and the Northwest Ohio Hemophilia Foundation.

Kay Bennett, executive director of the Arc of Lucas County and also one of the festival’s pro-ducers, said the event offers the city a unique op-portunity to try a variety of new beers.

“The festival provides an opportunity for

people to try wonderful craft beers that they wouldn’t ordinarily have the chance to try,” Bennett said. “Craft beers have really taken ahold of the market and have become very popular. Many people are now brewing their own beers so they enjoy the chance to come out and try different styles.”

The event, which previously occurred at the Erie Street Market, will be at the Lucas County Recreation Center in Maumee for the first time.

According to Northwest Ohio Hemophilia Foundation Executive Director Carla Wells, the event’s other producer, the change in venue will allow for more diversification in the styles of beers available.

“Traditionally, the event has grown about 15-20 percent each year,” Wells said. “Last year, we had about 1,500 people so we are hoping to have anywhere up to 2,000. We had outgrown the space at Erie Street Market so moving al-lowed us to invite more brewers to the event.”

The Glass City Beer Fest was the brainchild of Wells and Bennett. The two had been trying to

identify a fundraising event for their respective foundations. After attending several different beer festivals in Michigan, Wells called Bennett and said she had the idea.

“We knew that if our organizations worked together, we could produce a quality event,” Ben-nett said. “We wanted to hold the event during a time of the year when not a whole lot was going on. After [Wells] came back from an event in Michigan we thought it would be a great idea to bring a craft beer event to the city. We got Ander-sons and Joseph’s Beverage Center on board and we were on our way.”

According to Wells, the event can help people narrow down the type of styles they like, making trips to a local store a bit easier amid the growing number of choices.

“We were trying to think of an event that was unique to this area, but didn’t necessarily want to re-create the wheel that was happening in other communities,” Wells said. “It was a nice oppor-tunity to try microbrews that can be somewhat expensive. You can get a six-pack and if you

don’t like it, you could be stuck with five beers that may have cost you $12. We decided to take a chance. That was seven years ago.”

According to Jon Koester, head brewer at Maumee Bay Brewing Co., the event helps put Toledo on the craft beer map.

“Considering that we haven’t had any orga-nized event for craft beer before this, it’s huge,” Koester said. “For those that don’t know much about craft beer, they get the chance to sample many different styles. They are able to find out where to purchase these beers or find out which bars carry them. It represents growth for the en-tire beer community and is a great event for the city of Toledo.”

Tickets for the event, which will run from 7-11 p.m. March 1, can be purchased in advance for $25 at the Andersons Customer Service Desks or $35 at the door. With the price of ad-mission, attendees will get 12 taste tickets good for 3-ounce pours. Additional taste tickets will be available for $1 each or 6 for $5. Parking for the event is free. O

hat makes a good rapper?

I’ve come up with my own

list, but feel free to add your own rules or omit and replace. They are based on my experience in the music busi-ness interviewing artists on all levels and recognizing what helped or hindered each of their careers.

No. 1: Read everything! Read history and follow current events so you know what you’re talking about and what other people are saying about you. Don’t go over the top, but find a way to relate it to your life.

No. 2: Rap all the time — no breaks, ever! Listen to beats and say the first things that come to mind (this will help when freestyling) and reading and learning it makes it easier.

Any rapper worthy of being known by the masses has a history of having done so at some point before they “made it.” Practice makes perfect.

No. 3: Get your flow tight. You may have the rhymes, but now you need to perfect your flow. This can be hard, considering you more than likely have been influenced by your favorite rappers. Should you mirror any of those greats, it can turn off potential fans who may like what you say, but not how you say it.

Listeners are looking for something unique yet familiar; it’s up to you to deter-mine just how new and how familiar you’ll be. For example, rapper Future is undeniably the new T-Pain, but what he’s doing is not necessarily better, but different.

No. 4: Educate yourself on the business. Most people become rappers because they want to make money and create a better life for themselves. Anytime you decide to em-bark on a business venture you should know everything there is to know about the in-dustry and business.

Some artists think along the lines of “I’ll just make good music and hire someone to handle the rest.” Bad idea. This leaves the artist to believe whatever someone who claims to know what they’re talking about tells them.

Study the artists with longevity by reading old articles and following current news about them. It’s a great way to gain insight on strat-egies and patterns you’ll notice they all fol-lowed and repeated.

No. 5: Find your audience. Decide if you are a commercial artist or a grassroots artist. This is very important as it pertains to

rule No. 6. You must know who’s who in whichever category you decide. Many

artists are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to whom to approach and what they can and cannot do to help you.

No. 6: Network. Find professionals in your cat-egory, whether you are commercial (for major TV

and radio) or grassroots (underground or college and satellite radio).

No. 7: Utilize social networks. This is impor-tant for any artist, not just aspiring ones.

Joining networks gives your budding fan

base a place to visit, ob-tain news about you and possibly hear more of your

music. This is crucial in face to face networking, because the professionals

you are talking to can see how serious you are based on how up-to-date you keep your social network with information about your latest endeavors and accomplishments.

No. 8: Put business before pleasure. Many times I have seen this rule broken and the effects can ruin careers.

Artists who showed up sober for inter-views with me or my fellow radio jocks have been the most successful.

Perception is key. Image is everything, and when you meet other professionals you should be professional as well.

These are the people who take your career to the next level through recommendations and referrals for other interviews, shows or label deals.

This is your business, and if you are not serious enough to be present and in the mo-ment, there is no reason for anyone to put their reputation on the line to help you go further.

Remember, look and play the part. Your fans invest in you based on what you project and put out there.

As we continue on ... O

THE VILLAGE PLAYERS THEATRE PROUDLY PRESENTS

Harry Brock is a business tycoon who goes to Washington trying to break into the "special interest" business with an ethically-challenged senator. He realizes that his girlfriend, Billie Dawn, may need a makeover to fit his new inside-the-beltway image.

To ensure that Billie gets properly "culturefied," Brock hires a D.C. journalist to give the seemingly dim-witted blonde a crash course in politics, history, literature,

and of course… true love.
