The Official Blues Brothers Revue - This Saturday, Feb. 4 at Clemens Fine Art Center!

The Blues Brothers live on in The Official Blues Brothers Revue, starring Jake, Elwood and the Intercontinental Rhythm & Blues Revue Band, at West Kentucky Community and Technical College Saturday, February 4.  The show starts at 7:30 PM in WKCTC’s Clemens Fine Arts Center.

Wayne Catania, as Jake Blues, and Kieron Lafferty, as Elwood Blues, perform with the trademark passion and precision of the original Blues Brothers.  Catania began his career in the 1970’s as a drummer and vocalist touring with rock and R&B bands including The Stampeders. Writing and recording for movie sound-tracks, including Jim Carry’s first motion picture All in Good Taste, numerous acting roles and a Canadian Golden Sheaf Award established him as an accomplished writer and performer. After being hand-picked to play Jake Blues by Dan Aykroyd and the John Belushi Estate, Wayne found a natural fit.

Lafferty, a Toronto musician/singer/songwriter, was influenced by sneaking into his father’s nightclub, The Electric Circus, where he witnessed great acts like Sam & Dave, CCR and the Doors. He spent his youth playing the blues, R&B and jazz circuits and doing session work. In the ‘90s, Kieron released his own CDs, performed in several independent films, and then made his debut as Elwood Blues in 1998 in the Las Vegas production of Legends in Concert. Film producer Paul Jay cast Lafferty as himself in the A&E docudrama Lost in Las Vegas. Other credits include commercials, narration and animation. He is co-writing the pilot for an TV show based on continuing adventures of Jake & Elwood with Judy Belushi Pisano, Anne Beatts of SNL, and Wayne Catania.

The Official Blues Brothers Revue is the only Blues Brothers show to be officially sanctioned by Dan Ackroyd and wife of the late John Belushi, Judith Belushi Pisano. This live concert combines the comedy and the hits from the original movie and pays homage to Chicago’s rich history of blues, gospel and soul music.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students and children.  For reservations, visit www.artsinfocus.org or call 534.3212.

“SEVY” NEEDS YOUR HELP


iList Paducah’s friend and former iDate of the Week, Aaron Severns, is currently fighting for his life at the Lourdes Intensive Care Unit in Paducah, Kentucky. He is affectionately known by all simply as “Sevy.” He is battling a hematoma on his brain which was the size of a baseball. Sevy was given slim chances of survival and likely faces some brain damage. He does not have health insurance and will undoubtedly have medical bills, therapy, and other financial demands pressed upon him. Sevy is the epitome of charisma and loyalty. The world is noticeably diminished while he lays in a hospital bed. Please, if you can contribute any amount of money to help offset the cost of his treatment, please visit the Paducah Underground website and click the “Donate” button. 100% of the donations go straight to Sevy and his family.

There is no question that he would do the same for someone in his position.

Market House Theatre Opens its Own Deer Hunting Season with Comedy Escanaba in da Moonlight

Albert (Tom Dolan, left), Remnar (Dean Palmer, 3rd from left), and Jimmer (Michael Brewer, far right) make a traditional toast to “bagging a buck”  while Reuben (Steve Schwetman 2nd from left), tries to break with tradition since he has never gotten a buck.

Market House Theatre will present the outrageous deer hunting comedy ESCANABA IN DA MOONLIGHT January 12-22.  Written by Jeff Daniels, the men of the Soady clan are gathered at their Upper Peninsula Michigan hunting cabin on the eve of deer season’s opening day.  Reuben Soady, played by Steve Schwetman, is about to turn 35 and has never “bagged a buck”.  Reuben’s Native American wife, Wolf Moon Dance, played by Emily Chapman Hensel is trying to help her husband shed the mantle of being “a buckless Yooper.”  Albert Soady, played by Tom Dolan, anchors the play—as father, as narrator, as keeper of the flame. Whether he’s giving his sons a history lesson or musing on his late wife’s virtues (“she had lips like a sturgeon”) he fills the audience in on what happened on that fateful night before deer season started.  Albert’s sons don’t fall far from the tree. Remnar Soady, played by MHT newcomer Dean Palmer, can’t stand it that Reuben may be jinxing them.  Jimmer Negamanee from Menominee, played by Mike Brewer shows up as part of the hunting party. His alcohol- and alien-addled speech is like a foreign tongue, which he acquired during his week in space when a “hoovering” UFO picked him up. Michigan DNR (Department of Natural Resources) Ranger Tom, played by Chip Bohle, bursts into the cabin having just experienced a vision.

You don’t have to be a Yooper (UP resident), or even a Michigander, to enjoy the fun Daniels pokes at both north and south. It’s all tempered with a sort of good humor and love for custom and legend that’s extremely appealing. ESCANABA IN DA MOONLIGHT is directed by Ross Daniels, with Denise Bristol as Assistant Director/Stage Manager.

The play runs January 12-15 and 19-22, with shows at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday nights and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday afternoons.  Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for students 21 and under.  There will be an additional matinee at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, January 21, with all seats $15.  Tickets are available at the MHT box office (444.6828) at 132 Market House Square from noon to 5:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays or online at www.mhtplay.com. An $8 student walk-up ticket will be available 10 minutes before each show on a space-available basis.  College students should bring I.D.

The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, supports Market House Theatre with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.  MHT’s Season is also supported by the City of Paducah and Paducah Bank.
