Someone to Stay - AU

Previous chapters

Chapter 5

There was a short line of people standing outside Duke’s, waiting for their turn to go in. Claire, arms crossed, went up to the security guard holding a clipboard.

“Are you on the list?” he barked.

“Um, Claire Beauchamp?”

“Oh.” His gruff demeanor changed instantly. “Says ‘ere you’re VIP.” He pulled a lanyard with blue tags dangling that read DUKE’S. “Go on in. Ask for Duncan at the bar.”

“Thanks.” Claire slipped the pass over her head and walked into the pulsing, smoky darkness.

Everyone inside looked like they’d stepped out of Rolling Stone or something, Claire thought. She was glad for once she’d listened to Geillis’s advice and dressed up a little for the occasion; she was wearing makeup on her normally pale face and wild curls, a short blue dress with heels – and the black biker jacket Mary her co-worker had lent her to match a certain red-haired singer.

She walked up to the bar. The only bartender on duty could only be Duncan. As she approached, he noticed the VIP pass and immediately gave her a glass of champagne, directing her backstage. “To the green room, love!” he shouted over the din.

Claire was still unsure about this. And this, exactly, was whatever she wanted it to be. Wasn’t that what he had said? For now, he was a friend. And friends could see other friends and support each other at events like this. As much as she – and Rupert – would have liked Geillis to be there, a seven hour drive from Edinburgh and a hectic work schedule was not feasible.

Down a darkened hallway hidden behind a black curtain by the bar, Claire reached a door marked for performers. Boisterous laughter could be heard on the other side, and Claire wondered which was Jamie’s. For courage, she downed the champagne all at once, bubbles fizzing in her mouth. Thinking perhaps they wouldn’t hear her knocking, she decided to turn the knob and walk in.

A group of faces turned to stare, but she only had eyes for one. Towering over most, Jamie’s gaze found hers and a blinding smile widened on his face. Pushing through the crowd sitting on chairs and sofas, he met her at the door.

“You’re here!” Jamie leaned in and pecked her on the cheek. Claire was enveloped in the warmth of his scent – spice, citrus, and honey all at once. Resisting the urge to wrap her arms around him, she merely smiled and squeezed his shoulder.

“How are you, Jamie? Nervous?”

“A wee bit.” He grinned. “The day I dinna get the cramp in my wame, I’ll ken ‘tis time to retire.”

“Makes sense,” Claire laughed.

“Here, let me introduce ye.” Jamie took her hand (with only a minor jolt) and pushed past the throng. Composed of band members and a few random girls, the rest were close friends of Hugh Munro’s, who enjoyed the perks of knowing the owner.

Claire was greeted cheerfully by Willie, Ian, and Rupert, who pulled her into a bone-crushing hug. She solemnly promised him to bring Geillis next time, regardless of work schedules. All the while introductions were made, Jamie did not let go of her hand. And neither did she.

Lastly, they approached a taciturn man who stood off by himself behind the chairs. He nursed a beer, and only raised an eyebrow as Jamie advanced closer, Claire in tow.

“Claire, this is Murtagh, my uncle and our manager. Murtagh, this is Claire, whom I told ye all about.” A faint pink tinged his ears and the back of his neck. Again, he rifled his hand through the red tresses, embarrassed.

She stuck out her hand and was surprised by the firm grip, which held hers for a second longer than normal before he took a swig of beer.

“Mmphm. Ye’ll be the Sassenach lassie then. Yon lad hasnae shut up about ye since Edinburgh.” A thick Scots accent permeated his words, mumbled barely audibly. Claire strained to catch the tone of them, but they lacked any sort of discernible emotion.

“Sassenach?” Claire peeked at Jamie, who turned even redder.

“It only means English, to a Scot. Uncle?” Jamie nudged Murtagh, who shook his head.

“Aye, no offense, lass. ‘Tis only he’s never dated an Englishwoman before. French fer sure, mebbe a Lowlander here and there.” He winked at Jamie, who covered his face in despair.

“Really? Well now, that’s interesting. Tell me more.” Claire winked back at Murtagh, who seemed on the verge of smiling.

“Nay. That’s enough. Thank ye, Uncle.” Jamie steered Claire away with a broad hand on her shoulder. She turned back to Murtagh one last time.

“A pleasure, Murtagh!” The man raised his beer briefly in acknowledgement. She could clearly see that he was protective of his nephew, and liked him for it.

At the back of the room stood a long table, crammed with platters of finger food. Squeezed in were bottles and bottles of whiskey. Claire could glimpse Laphroaig, Glenfiddich, Macallan, Glenlivet, and the odd bottle of Chivas and Johnnie Walker. Jamie insisted on exchanging her empty champagne glass with the whiskey , which she took neat.

“Sláinte!” Jamie clinked her glass, and poured the liquor straight down his throat. Claire followed suit, grimacing a bit at the peaty taste and shivering as the heat of the whiskey lit her insides.

They stood side by side, watching the men interact with a group of girls. They didn’t look older than 25, some of them, Claire noted wryly. A few cast furtive glances at the corner where Jamie and Claire were standing, smiling when they looked at him, frowning openly at her. Claire tried not to care; she reminded herself that Jamie was after all famous, and it was only natural that they wanted to capture his attention. Finally, a girl gathered her courage enough to walk over and introduce herself to Jamie.

“Hiiiii,” the girl tittered, flipping her long blonde hair and briefly touching Jamie’s arm. “I’m Malva. How are you?” She smirked, and slid sideways casually to block Claire completely from sight.

“Hello, Malva. Nice to meet ye. Who are ye with tonight?” Jamie offered a polite smile, used to fan encounters.

“Oh, I’m here with friends. Can’t wait for your set tonight. Which is your favorite song?” Malva sidled closer, and Claire was forced to take a step back, nearly knocking over some whiskey bottles.

“Och, weel, I like them all, I guess. Bad if I didn’t, eh?” Jamie reached out a hand behind Malva, and pulled Claire gently into his side. “This is a friend of mine, Claire Beauchamp.”

“Hello.” Claire felt the words stick in her throat. The back of her neck felt alternately cold and hot and prickly.

“Hey.” Malva’s stare was anything but friendly. If looks could kill, Claire thought briefly. She felt the momentary urge to nuzzle into Jamie’s neck, maybe plant a kiss or two there, marking him as hers.

Oh wait. Am I… jealous of her?

Claire dismissed the idea and tried to smile at the girl. She was only a fan, after all. Malva did not return her gesture and just flipped her hair again, hoping for Jamie’s attention.

“Well, I guess I’ll see you around. Good luck with the show.” Malva let the tip of her tongue trail over her lips suggestively. Claire fought the impulse to scratch her eyes out and let her instincts take over, wrapping her arm around Jamie. Surprised, he glanced down at her, and smiled briefly at Claire.

“Thank ye. Hope ye enjoy it.”

Malva sauntered off, moving her hips in a really obvious way that made her look mostly ridiculous. Angus seemed willing to deal with her, and Claire breathed easier for the first time in minutes.

Well. Was it always like this? she wondered.

“It isnae always like this, ye ken,” Jamie said.

Claire, startled, cursed her glass face again. “Like this what?”

“The fans. Some are pushier, or even grabbier, than others. Mainly they are respectful, they only want an autograph or picture. A bit of a chat. A hug sometimes. But that’s it.”

“Jamie, you don’t have to explain to me. I’m not—”

“Och, yer face looked like bloody murder fer a second there. I promise, I’d never dally with a fan like that. ‘Twouldna be right.”

“What about me?” Claire asked with a smile.

“Ah, weel, ye said so yerself. Ye didna ken who we were to start with.”

______________________________________________________________________

The concert was phenomenal. Close to two hundred people crowded near the stage, clapping, and singing along. The surprise performance had gone over spectacularly, the patrons raising the roof when The Clan was announced.

Murtagh had led her to stage left, where Claire had stood mesmerized by the show, and by Jamie in particular. He was great at what he did, playing off the audience and gauging their mood and seeming to know just when to kick it up a notch. The band had them all riled up since the beginning, playing upbeat songs that had everyone, Claire included, dancing in their spots.

Finally, as the hour grew late, the songs grew mellower. Claire swayed on her feet, head keeping time with the rhythm. Every once in a while, Jamie would turn to look at her and smile. Finally, close to one in the morning, Jamie pulled up a stool and took up his acoustic guitar. The crowd quieted down a bit to listen.

“Now fer a new song, written verra recently. This one goes out to the girl with whiskey eyes.”

Despite the screaming of a few girls who no doubt thought the song was for them, Claire felt her heart quicken and her palms tingle. He had once told her she was “bonny, with eyes like whiskey.” Was this song meant for her?

Jamie strummed his guitar, caressing the mike in a way that was only his.

I know you’re hurting

You know better than anyone

It’s hard to let your heart trust

But this is real

I’m here for you

Good times and bad

This isn’t an ending

Only the beginning of something

I promise I will wait

As long as it takes

Because your heart is worth it

Feelings unknown

But let these words and actions show

To help you see, give me a chance

And so—

I promise I will wait

As long as it takes

Because your heart is worth it

Claire’s cheeks flushed; she held her hands up to her face, trying to contain the heat. She looked around, but she was alone in the dark, staring out at the blue-lit stage where Jamie was calling out to her. Time ceased to matter; what she thought she ought to do or feel was irrelevant. It seemed like everyone would read it on her damned glass face.

As Claire realized herself in that moment, in the space of a ¾ tempo, her heart had decided of its own volition to tumble over the abyss and into those feelings unknown.

Tudo Blues chega à sua terceira edição

http://www.piscitellientretenimentos.com/tudo-blues-chega-a-sua-terceira-edicao/

Tudo Blues chega à sua terceira edição

De 29 de junho a 9 de julho, e com shows de quinta a domingo, acontece no Teatro da UFF, em Niterói, a terceira edição do festival Tudo Blues. Serão oito dias e oito atrações onde, além do blues, o público vai poder presenciar o rhythm’n’blues, o soul, o jazz, o rock e até a MPB que por vezes abre a porta para o blues entrar.

A primeira noite do Tudo Blues, dia 29 de junho, será com Sérgio Rocha Blues Band que vai fazer um show em homenagem ao ícone do blues nacional Celso Blues Boy que desde agosto de 2012 nos deixou. Vários de seus sucessos vão ser tocados, como: “Sempre Brilhará”, “Fumando na escuridão”, “Tempos difíceis”, “Amor vazio”, “Aumenta que isso é Rock and Roll”, entre outros. Celso, além de ter sido amigo de Sérgio Rocha, sempre o considerou como um dos melhores guitarristas nacionais no estilo blues rock.

Sérgio Rocha é um dos grandes nomes do blues carioca. Nos anos 90, integrou a tradicional banda Baseado em Blues. Depois, liderou o Blues Power Trio e tem dois discos solos lançados com composições próprias.

Além de Sérgio Rocha na guitarra e voz, a banda tem Ramiro Habib no baixo, Fabrízio Iorio nos teclados e Silvio Leal na bateria, e como convidada, a cantora Claudia Sette.

Na noite seguinte, dia 30 de junho, quem se apresenta é o Ricardo Giesta Quarteto. Com um trabalho quase todo instrumental, Ricardo Giesta destacará composições próprias e com influências de blues, jazz, rock, country e soul, assim como releituras de temas de músicos como Cornell Dupree, Eric Gale, Beatles, Hank Crawford, Marvin Gaye entre outros, variando entre as guitarras, Lap Steel guitar e o Resophonic guitar ou Dobro guitar. Em alguns momentos, Ricardo Giesta vai ter a presença do cantor e guitarrista Gustavo Dvoran, fundador da banda de rock Rainha da Noite.

Ricardo Giesta Atuou em palcos e gravações com vários artistas, como Baden Powell, Blues Etílicos, Celso Blues Boy, Paulinho Guitarra, Antonio Quintella, Arthur Maia, Cláudio Zolli entre outros.

O Quarteto é composto por: Ricardo Giesta (guitarra, lap steel e dobro guitar), Paulo Maciel (piano e teclado), Bruno Dvoran (bateria) e Francisco Nilson (baixo).

O guitarrista e cantor Rick Ferreira é atração do dia 01 de julho, terceiro dia do Festival Tudo Blues. Com seu show “Rick Ferreira Toca Rauuul & Banda”, um tributo ao grande Raul Seixas, sucessos marcantes e atemporais vão marcar a noite de apresentação. “Canceriano sem lar”, “Maluco beleza”, “Rock da aranha”, “Metamorfose ambulante”, “Medo da chuva”, “Ouro de tolo” e muito mais vão fazer o público cantar junto com Rick Ferreira que nesse dia vai receber convidados no palco: a rockeira e bluseira Adriana Ninsk, o cantor e compositor Marcos Sabino e os músicos da banda Colorado Country.

Rick Ferreira é reconhecido como um fiel escudeiro de Raul Seixas, participando de toda a discografia de Raul a partir do álbum Gita, de 1974. Produziu e gravou com os maiores e mais diversos nomes da música brasileira como: Erasmo Carlos, Barão Vermelho, Belchior, Guilherme Arantes, Ana Carolina, Zé Ramalho, Roupa Nova, Pitty, Lulu Santos, Danni Carlos, Matanza, Wanderléia, entre muitos outros.

A banda que acompanha Rick Ferreira é formada por Emerson Ribeiro (violão e voz), Pedro Terra (guitarra e voz), Marcio Chicralla (baixo), Miguel Archanjo (teclado e voz) e Marcio Saraiva (bateria e voz).

Para o quarto dia do festival, dia 2 de julho, quem vai estar no palco do Teatro da UFF é o cantor Pedro Quental que destacará alguns clássicos do grande músico norte-americano Ray Charles.

Acompanhado por Fernando Clark na guitarra, Pedro Augusto no piano, Felipe Cambraia no baixo e Rodrigo Scofield na bateria, Pedro Quental, com sua voz marcante, interpretará canções que ficaram marcadas na carreira de Ray Charles, como “Stella By Starlight”, “What’d I Say”, “Ruby”, “Georgia On My Mind”, “Hit The Road Jack”, entre outras.

Ray Charles foi um músico extremamente revolucionário que influenciou várias gerações de amantes da boa música, o pai da soul music, um gênio do jazz, do blues e do rhythm’n’blues.

Pedro Quental, um dos intérpretes do Monobloco e do trio Blues Etc, sempre teve uma ligação especial com Ray Charles, desde criança ouvia seus LPs e adorava. Foi considerado por Celso Blues Boy uma das maiores vozes do Blues no Brasil. Há muito tempo Pedro Quental acalentou o sonho de fazer um Tributo que fizesse jus ao seu maior ídolo na arte de cantar. E é este desejo que agora se torna realidade. Um show “intimista, mas cheio de vigor”, os sucessos inesquecíveis vão sendo cantados um a um em versões personalíssimas.

Marcos Godoy é a atração do dia 6 de julho. Redefinindo seu trabalho na linha blues, gênero que sempre teve muita atração, mas que por situações especificas dedicou seu período anterior ao jazz, country e ao fusion, resultando em dois CDs lançados, Marcos Godoy com seu show, pretende expor uma breve evolução histórica do blues iniciando com o spiritual, passando por ícones do blues em seus devidos momentos como Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson, BB King, Steve Ray Vaugham, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Robben Ford entre outros alternando com músicas autorais inéditas, as quais serão convertidas em um CD ao vivo.

Em sua apresentação, Marcos contará com um time de músicos de primeira linha, que são: Flávio Santos na bateria, Jorge Mathias no contrabaixo, Fred Bertolli no teclado, Mauro Samuel na guitarra base e vocal e Jorginho Percussa na percussão. Além dessa banda formada especialmente para o festival, Marcos Godoy terá as participações de outros grandes músicos como os guitarristas Alex Martinho e Torcuato Mariano; os cantores Marcos Hasselman e Adriana Ninsky; o contrabaixista Francisco Falcon; o baterista Henrique Martins e o tecladista Heber Ribeiro.

No dia 7 de julho, o Tudo Blues recebe Sérgio Chiavazzoli com seus show “O Blues na MPB”.

Multi-instrumentista de cordas (violão, viola de 12, viola de 10, violão midi, cavaquinho, bandolim, banjo, guitarra baiana e guitarra), Sérgio tem uma carreira riquíssima com participações em trabalhos de grandes artistas da MPB e atuando como produtor musical, arranjador e compositor de músicas Instrumentais. Por isso, seu show terá um diferencial com relação ao repertório, serão destacados só músicas de artistas da MPB que trouxeram o blues para alguns dos seus trabalhos como, “Amor, meu grande amor” (Ângela Ro Ro), “Tudo blue” (Pepeu Gomes/Fausto Nilo), “Blues da piedade” (Cazuza), “Como 2 e 2” (Caetano Veloso), entre outras.

Sérgio Chiavazzoli além da sua carreira solo, montou com seus amigos Arthur Maia, Carlos Malta, Claudio Andrade e Jorginho Gomes o Grupo Gomanchi de música instrumental. Em 2010 montou o Mafuá Instrumental, um Power Trio com Fábio Lessa e Flávio Santos.

Sábado, 8 de julho, é a vez da dupla Flávio Guimarães e Alamo Leal que vão estar mostrando um trabalho totalmente acústico e intimista, respeitando a tradição do blues no início do século XX, ou seja, voz, gaita e violão de aço. Esse show é baseado no cd que o duo lançou em 2012, intitulado “Ain’t No Strangers Here”. Músicas de Willie Dixon (My baby), Robert Johnson (Come on in my kitchen), Brown Black and White (Big Bill Broonzy), Shake Your Hips (Slim Harpo) e Bad Luck (Charlie Musselwhite) e outras que fazem parte da história do blues vão estar presentes.

Somando mais de 30 anos de uma carreira prolífica, Flávio Guimarães vem acumulando as funções de instrumentista, cantor, produtor, compositor e integrante do Blues Etílicos.

Paralelamente ao seu trabalho junto à banda, desenvolve sua carreira independente com diversos parceiros do primeiro time do blues nacional, além de já ter tocado com lendas vivas do blues, como Buddy Guy e Taj Mahal. Realizou shows de abertura para Ben Harper, B. B. King e Robert Cray, tendo se apresentado em importantes festivais da Europa, Estados Unidos e América do Sul.

Flávio Guimarães explora seu instrumento nas suas mais diferentes texturas e sonoridades e sua versatilidade o levou a tocar e gravar com grandes nomes da música brasileira. Alceu Valença, Almir Sater, Djavan, Cássia Eller, Ed Motta, Erasmo Carlos, Frejat, Leo Gandelman, Luiz Melodia, Paulo Moura, Renato Russo, Rita Lee, Titãs, Zeca Baleiro são alguns dos artistas que incluíram Flávio em seus álbuns e shows.

Nessa sua estrada solo, Flávio Guimarães já soma 11 CDs lançados.

Alamo Leal é um músico de blues, que construiu sua carreira na Europa, onde residiu mais de 30 anos. Seu primeiro CD “Rythm Oil”, lançado pela “Armadillo-Records” foi escolhido o álbum do ano pela revista inglesa “Blueprint” em 1998. Realizou diversos shows e festivais com o legendário Funk Master e com Pee Wee Ellis, saxofonista de James Brown e Van Morrison.

De 1995 até 2005, morando entre Paris e Londres, tocou em grandes festivais na Europa, dividindo o palco com alguns gigantes do blues como Luther Allison, Bernard Allison, Larry Garner, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Otis Grand, Paul Lamb e Joe Louis Walker. Voltando ao Brasil em 2006, Alamo vem realizando shows em todo país, tendo lançado três álbuns desde então.

Encerrando o festival Tudo Blues no dia 9 de julho, o show fica por conta da grande cantora Taryn que vai fazer uma apresentação revivendo o blues desde os anos 30 em suas diversas vertentes, o jazz dos anos 50/60, o soul e o rock clássico, com arranjos viscerais e uma apresentação que vai levar o público em uma viagem pelo tempo musical.

Nascida no Rio de Janeiro, Taryn é a quinta geração de uma família de grandes músicos e maestros, como seu tio avô Wladislaw Szpilman, que teve a vida retratada no filme de Roman Polanski vencedor do Oscar, “O Pianista”, seu avô Waldemar Szpilman, parceiro do grande compositor Heitor Villa Lobos, e seu pai Marcos Szpilman, maestro-fundador da Rio Jazz Orchestra, da qual ela é cantora e diretora artística hoje em dia.

Gravou quatro CDs solo, destacando-se o seu mais recente Nouveau Vintage Café, onde conseguiu uma alquimia especial, que homenageia a diva Carmen Miranda com um inovador arranjo Samba-Eletro swing, o clássico do jazz Black Coffee com uma estética Trip Hop, e tem entre seus convidados desde jazzistas americanos a exímios sambistas brasileiros.

Anualmente se apresenta no principal circuito de Festivais de Jazz & Blues pelo Brasil, sempre escalada como “headliner”, trazendo apresentações vigorosas e evocando em sua performance, a estética das atrizes do cinema clássico de Hollywood dos anos 40 e Pinups dos anos 50, tanto no figurino, como nas influências musicais , tudo com uma abordagem inovadora…

É citada por Roberto Menescal, como a cantora de maior emissão vocal do Brasil, por Jô Soares como a melhor interpretação de Billie Holiday que ele já viu, além de colecionar inúmeros elogios da crítica especializada sobre seus shows e discos.

El tecladista Anthony Geraci es el favorito en esta edición de los Blues Music Awards: recibió nominaciones para seis categorías. El premio se entregará el 9 de mayo.

Geraci, que nació en Boston, está en consideración para la Canción del Año (“Angelina, Angelina”); Álbum del año y Álbum de blues tradicional (“Why Did You Have To Go”); artista masculino de Blues tradicional; el Pinetop Perkins Piano Player Award y, con su grupo, Boston Blues All-Stars, como Banda del Año. Geraci también es parte de la banda The Proven Ones, que obtuvo una nominación de Disco de Blues Contemporáneo por “Wild Again”. Sus compañeros de Proven Ones, Jimi Bott y Willie J. Campbell, fueron nominados como Mejor Baterista y Mejor Bajista, respectivamente.

Shemekia Copeland y el bluesman de Chicago Nick Moss fueron nominados en cuatro categorías. Ambos luchan contra Geraci en Álbum del Año; Copeland for “America’s Child” y Moss por “The High Cost of Low Living”. Además, Copeland está en consideración para el Álbum de Blues Contemporáneo, Vocalista del Año y Artista Femenina de Blues Contemporáneo. El single de Copeland, “Ain’t Got Time for Hate”, es candidato a la Canción del Año, de los compositores John Hahn y Will Kimbrough.

Las otras tres nominaciones de Nick Moss son para Album de Blues Tradicional, Artista Masculino de Blues Tradicional y Banda del año. Gruenling, mientras tanto, consiguió su propia nominación en la categoría de instrumentista de armónica.

Los nominados de este año tienen un aumento significativo del reconocimiento para instrumentistas femeninas, lo que refleja el trabajo continuo de la Fundación Blues de diversificar su gran grupo de nominadores.

This is the last weekend of Holiday Book Signings and we're kicking off our Saturday with Andrea Swensson at 1pm and Bao Phi at 2pm today! ---------- Andrea Swensson is an author, radio host, and music journalist. She hosts a weekly program about the Minnesota music scene, The Local Show, at Minnesota Public Radio's 89.3 The Current and contributes to the Local Current Blog. Prior to joining MPR, she was the music editor at City Pages, where she founded the AAN AltWeekly Award-winning Gimme Noise music blog. Beginning in the year of Prince's birth, 1958, with the recording of Minnesota's first R&B record by a North Minneapolis band called the Big Ms, Got to Be Something Here traces the rise of that distinctive sound through two generations of political upheaval, rebellion, and artistic passion. Funk and soul become a lens for exploring three decades of Minneapolis and St. Paul history as longtime music journalist Andrea Swensson takes us through the neighborhoods and venues, and the lives and times, that produced the Minneapolis Sound. Visit the Near North neighborhood where soul artist Wee Willie Walker, recording engineer David Hersk, and the Big Ms first put the Minneapolis Sound on record. Across the Mississippi River in the historic Rondo district of St. Paul, the gospel-meets-R&B groups the Exciters and the Amazers take hold of a community that will soon be all but erased by the construction of I-94. From King Solomon's Mines to the Flame, from The Way in Near North to the First Avenue stage (then known as Sam's) where Prince would make a triumphant hometown return in 1981, Swensson traces the journeys of black artists who were hard-pressed to find venues and outlets for their music, struggling to cross the color line as they honed their sound. And through it all, there's the music: blistering, sweltering, relentless funk, soul, and R&B from artists like Maurice McKinnies, Haze, Prophets of Peace, and The Family, who refused to be categorized and whose boundary-shattering approach set the stage for a young Prince Rogers Nelson and his peers Morris Day, Andre Cymone, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis to launch their careers, and the Minneapolis Sound, into the stratosphere. A visit to Prince's Paisley Park and a conversation with the artist provide a rare glimpse into his world and an intimate sense of his relationship to his legacy and the music he and his friends crafted in their youth. ------ Bao Phi has been a performance poet since 1991. A two-time Minnesota Grand Slam champion and a National Poetry Slam finalist, Bao Phi has appeared on HBO Presents Russell Simmons Def Poetry, featured in the live performances and taping of the blockbuster diasporic Vietnamese variety show Paris By Night 114: Tôi Là Người Việt Nam, and a poem of his appeared in the 2006 Best American Poetry anthology. His poems and essays are widely published in numerous publications including Screaming Monkeys and Spoken Word Revolution Redux. He has also released several CDs of his poetry, such as Refugeography and The Nguyens EP. A short story of his, Revolution Shuffle, appeared in the anthology Octavia’s Brood: Stories from Social Justice Movements, AK Press, 2015, and an essay of his was included in the anthology A Good Time for the Truth, edited by Sun Yung Shin, Minnesota Historical Society Press. His first children’s book, A Different Pond, illustrated by Thi Bui, was published by Capstone Press in August of 2017. A Different Pond earned six starred reviews, a Caldecott Honor, as well as the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer and New Illustrator Honors, The Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature, Booklist Editor’s Choice, a Hornbook Fanfare book, and was named among the best books of the year by Kirkus, Washington Post, Huffington Post, The Boston Globe, School Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, and many others. A Different Pond also received the Charlotte Zolotow Award for Excellence in picture book writing. Recently He was named by Minneapolis Monthly as Best Author 2016, and an Artist of the Year and Author of the Year by City Pages, 2017 and 2018.
