MMMUSICUSICUSICWWWESTESTEST

No secrets here … I grew up in southern California … West Covina to be specific. West Covina is situated just off the I‐10 Freeway, not too far from my favorite beaches (Newport, Bolsa Chica, Aliso at Laguna) heading west/southwest and pretty darn close to the mountains (Big Bear, Arrowhead, Arrow Bear) heading east/north, as well (about an hour ei‐ther direction). Originally from East Los Angeles on Hazard Street, we moved to West Covina when I was just starting second grade. We were the ‘I don’t want to be Mexican’ Mexicans, moving into what appeared to be a predomi‐nantly white neighborhood. Not long after getting moved in we were happy to discover a very diverse multi‐cultural

community surrounding us; African‐Americans, Irish Catholics, Hispanics, Asians, and many like our family who refused to be defined by a particular culture, though I’m not really sure why. My father chose to surround us with jazz music and Japanese culture. My mother on the other hand, I have fond memories of her singing and dancing around the house while she cleaned to Jose Alfredo Jiminez and mariachi music. I never learned to speak Spanish, which I regret, except for a few cuss words, but those don’t count. I at‐tended private Catholic school for 12 years, studied French in high school and my friends came from every ethnic background and social status imaginable.

Moving to western Colorado about 18 years ago, was definitely a culture shock. I still reel over the fact that I see so few people ‘of color’ in our community. By the way, if you are ‘of color’, don’t be offended if I stare or approach you like a crazy woman … it’s just that I’m thrilled to see you. For most of my life, people have been curious as to what nationality I really am. I’ve managed to be nothing yet everything, including Japanese and Jewish … and I’m a little proud of that. Sadly through, my critters only realized a few years ago that they were not only Welsh, Scottish, and Irish, but Apache, Aztec and Mexican! Shame on me for not telling them sooner.

Did you know that according to 2010 census figures Montrose is made up of 20% Hispan‐ics with another 5% of mixed races? For a few years, I’ve been a little annoyed that the Monte de Rosas Fiesta disappeared to La Raza Park, further creating a division in our community, yet we have a high number of Mexican restaurants? Does anyone else think that’s … funny? I’m all about creating community, among my friends, my fellow musi‐cians, building bridges between different social groups and cultures, why even my diverse repertoire of music and musical genre‐bending is a testament to that. So I’m excited to partner with Darlene Mora, Rosie Reyes, Bobbi Fresquez, Montrose Community Founda‐tion, Montrose Arts Council, Montrose Rotary and several other organizations and indi‐viduals to present the first International Music & Food Festival on Saturday, July 2nd in Centennial Plaza. The festival is FREE to the community and will feature multi‐cultural music performed by mostly local musicians and international food, provided by local res‐taurants and vendors, see details on page 8. I hope you’ll come out and celebrate the cultural diversity of our community on a weekend when all American citizens, native and naturalized celebrate the freedoms we all share.

Speaking of community, there’s lots of great music happening in Montrose this summer … June 17th, Ashleigh Caudill will play Skylark Concerts Cobble Creek Series (pg. 6) and July 1st, Honey Don’t will play Skylark Concerts Pavilion Courtyard Series (pg. 7). Main In Motion runs through August, (schedule on pg.3)

Now that’s supporting live music in Montrose … supporting the artists who play the live music you enjoy!

A SHLEIGH CAUDILL, a Berklee College of Music alumni,

was quickly accepted into the New England acoustic music

scene, upon her arrival in 2003. While climbing the ranks of free‐

lance bassists, she discovered her love of songwriting. Shortly after

releasing her debut solo album, "I'm not Fallin," Bluegrass Unlimited

declared her "a voice to be reckoned with." She has recently relo‐

cated to Asheville North Carolina where she was awarded first place

in bass, and vocals in the North Carolina Mountain State Fair Blue‐

grass Competitions. Ashleigh has just released her sophomore al‐

bum, Fruit of the Vine, produced by Jim Hurst, featuring perform‐

ances by Claire Lynch, Mark Schatz, Jim Hurst and many more!

"Ashleigh is not just a bass player keeping the beat, she is leading

her band in a fresh, new, captivating and genuinely entertaining

stage show." ‐‐Dick Pierle, Old Blue Sound.

M ATT PURINTON, growing up in Upstate South Carolina,

Matt, was exposed to a ton of traditional music, and began

touring all over the South East at a young age. Now a resident of

Asheville North Carolina, he was awarded second place in mandolin

in the North Carolina Mountain State fair Bluegrass Competitions in

2009. He was also an original member of the first place band at the

Pickin at the Pavilion band contest in 2008. Matt's fiery mandolin

playing can now be seen turning heads all over the country.

H ONEY dON’T is the musical union of Bill Powers and Shelley Gray, perhaps better known as one‐half of the Paonia, Colo‐

rado based old‐time bluegrass band, Sweet Sunny South.

Their music is acoustic and based in the folk tradition. They draw from their bluegrass and old‐time background while injecting coun‐try, blues and a little swing. The songs are catchy and engaging, funny, sad, lonesome and uplifting. Most of the songs are original, but select covers and traditional tunes are part of their repertoire as well.

Bill describes himself as a writer first and foremost and all the while that he has been writing songs for SSS and otherwise, Shelley has been right there working out arrangements and adding her bass and voice to the mix. Honey Don’t is the harmonious result of their long‐time partnership as musicians, parents and friends. Bill and Shelley’s comfort on stage and with one another creates a laid‐back and en‐dearing vibe that shines through the music. The quality of their songs range from sweet and dreamy to downright rockin’ resulting in an eclectic sound enjoyed by any audience and can be booked as a duo, trio or quartet.

In 2009, Honey Don’t welcomed Ryan Drickey on fiddle and Greg Schochet on mandolin and guitar. Greg and Ryan are two of the best acoustic musicians Colorado has to offer. This combination of talent and collective experience are destined to leave a lasting mark on the acoustic music scene throughout the western region of the US. Between the four they have played nearly every major regional festival and stage you can name including The Durango Meltdown, Four Corners Folk Festival, High Mountain Hayfever, A Prairie Home Companion, The Rialto, Boulder and Fox Theaters, Moab Folk Festi‐val, Rockygrass, Silverton Jubilee, Flagstaff’s Pickin’ in the Pines, Wintergrass in Tacoma, WA and many, many more. Although the group is new on the scene, these seasoned performers are sure to entertain.

B y combining the finest of na‐ture and art The Telluride Jazz

Celebration (TJC) ranks among the world’s most memorable music festivals. Since 1977 Telluride’s majestic perch high in the spec‐tacular San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado has been the site of an annual cultural event produced by the Telluride Society for Jazz. The intimate format, the superb music and the opportunity for invigorating alpine recreation with yoga activities and free wine tastings all come together to create a truly unique weekend experience. With performances on outdoor stages during the day and evening to theater and club shows at night, the TJC offers great venues that celebrate jazz roots in Latin, Afri‐can, blues and mainstream tradi‐tions. Internationally acclaimed artists will join with new and emerging talents for an amazing experience August 5‐7, 2011.

Here are just a few of the Artists scheduled: Tower of Power: For over 40 years, Tower of Power has been creating their kind of soul music. Since 1968, they have deliv‐ered their unique brand of music to their fans, appearing before sold out crowds as they tour the world

each year. Tower’s sound can be hard to categorize, but the band's leader and founding member, Emilio Castillo, has labeled it "Urban Soul Music." Tower's rhythm section lays down a groove like no other band and the horn driven sound is unique in the way they approach everything, from writing and arranging to mixing and performing. It’s totally their own. With an outstanding lead vocalist, you have one of the most dynamic groups of musicians to e v e r h i t t h e s t a g e . www.towerofpower.com

Paquito D’Rivera “Guest of Honor”: Paquito’s life and career are a tribute to the many aspects of his talent‐ Latin, Jazz, Classical, Funk and beyond. He has received ten Grammy® Awards, the Na‐tional Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Award, two honorary col‐lege degrees, the Kennedy Center's Living Jazz Legend Award, the National Medal of the Arts and more. Born in Havana, Cuba, he performed at age 10 with the National Theater Orchestra and later became a featured soloist with the Cuban National Symphony and was a founding member of the historic band Irakere with its explo‐

sive mixture of jazz, rock, Classical and Cuban music. He has more than 30 albums and founded the United Nation Orchestra with Dizzy Gillespie www.paquitodrivera.com.

Taylor Hicks & The Little Mem‐phis Blues Orchestra: 2006 American Idol winner Taylor Hicks joins Tower of Power, Allen Tous‐saint & Rita Coolidge headlining the 35th Anniversary Telluride Jazz Celebration. Hicks, who hails from Birmingham, Alabama was des‐tined for the musical stage from an early childhood. His personal twist of fate came when he was in New Orleans, the night before Hurricane Katrina hit on August 29, 2005. With his flight cancelled, he trav‐eled to Las Vegas, where American Idol auditions were being held. Taylor’s material, with a unique take on southern soul, R & B, coun‐try and blues, set him apart from other American Idol contestants. When he's not performing with his own band, he is often being invited to perform with the likes of Willie Nelson, Snoop Dog, Gladys Knight, Earth Wind and Fire, JoJo Hermann and The Allman Broth‐ers.” He's just that good. www.taylorhicks.com

For over four decades, Ellen Stapenhorst has been writing songs and entertaining audiences around the country and the world. Her rich and unpretentious voice (about which actor Tim Curry once exclaimed, "A DAMN fine set of pipes!") and her insightful, hon‐est and well crafted songs come from and go right to the heart.

From the LA coffee houses of the Sixties, to Colorado and the eclectic Aspen‐based country‐rock band Tanglefoot in the Seventies, to Northern California as a solo artist, to her current home in the quirky west‐ern Colorado town of Paonia, Ellen’s life and musical roads have taken her around the US and overseas. She has shared the stage with or opened shows for many artists, including John Denver, Buffy Ste. Marie, John Stewart, Shawn Colvin, Kenny Rogers, Frankie Valle and Dr. Hook. Besides her solo engagements, Ellen is currently playing with two bands: Dykann, Paxton & Stapenhorst, a folk, roots and originals group based in the Aspen area; and with Joanna and Iain Hyde, a Celtic‐swing‐folk‐fusion band based in Denver.

Ellen recently released her fourth album of original music, Shifting Sand, and her songs range from per‐sonal and spiritual to social conscience and satire. Her song “Grand Junction” was featured on NPR’s Car Talk, and “Traveler” was on LA Acoustic Radio’s most requested list for two years. She has a lifelong com‐mitment to finding common ground and protecting the natural world. Strong vocals, solid guitar playing and a good dose of humor are the hallmarks of her shows.

Gigs: Solo/duo/trio/band; private parties corporate or nonprofit, weddings/ceremonies, etc.

Jordan Carls had his first professional gig at 14 years old. Since that night, he hasn’t stopped pursuing the mysteries of music. Growing up in Montrose, CO provided him with a wealth of resources, in teachers, playing opportunities, and friends. Most of his early gigs were self‐promoted, and arranged by him (with a huge amount of help from friends and, most impor‐tantly, family). Having to promote his own perform‐ances from the start gave Jordan a crash course in the intricacies of the music business.

Since then he has used his hard‐earned knowledge to graduate from the University of Denver, and perform across America and Europe with many amazing art‐ists. He has performed on stage with people such as The Platters’ Duke Daniels, Dr. Daneil Lochrey, James Houlik, Dr. Michael Waldrop, Dr. Michael Baron, Grammy award winners Paquito D’Rivera and Dennis Woodrich, and many others. As well as performing, he has studied with James Houlik, Art Bouton, Peter Summers, Eric Gunnison, Malcolm Lynn Baker, Paul Schnieder, Additionally he has logged hundreds of hours of studio time and performed on many CDs as a side man.

Currently, he has returned to Montrose in order to provide a stable life for his family. He operates CarlsS‐tudios as a private Instructor, recording engineer, and composer.

Chris Mullen Genre/Style: Acoustic Folk, Singer Songwriter

Instrument/s: Guitar, Vocals

Gigs: Solo musician. Call for rates.


Chris Mullen … MY MUSIC VALUES … IF YOU WILL

I like just about any music that makes me feel like the artist is telling the truth. It could be the most silly, or the most serious song in the world, as long as the song isn't trying to sell me something the artists themselves wouldn't prescribe to, then it's cool with me. I like fun music. I don't write much of it myself, though I wish that I would, but there is just something awesome about music that makes you make a fool of yourself (examples: singing loudly, dancing, clapping, whistling off‐key, stripping...you know that kind of thing).

I write music to process. I write music to vent. And I write music, because there are few other activities in life that fulfill me like writing does. So I hope that you enjoy what you hear.

Doug Kolz Genre/Style: Folk, Country, Soft Rock

Instrument/s: Guitar

Contact: 303 646 3352


Doug Kolz has been singing since about the time he could walk. First singing in the church choir in Silver‐ton, CO at age 6, then through his formative years through high school he was involved in various musi‐cal groups through church and school. In high school, he became lead singer in a rock and roll band playing numerous venues.

After high school he taught himself to play guitar and through the 70s and 80s he played in various bands, duets, and trios as well as solo gigs through the west‐ern US and a short stint in northern Scotland.

His musical efforts in the 90s to present have been relegated primarily to campfires and weddings. Al‐though an admirer of all musical genres, his primary focus has been in Country, Folk and Soft Rock with a bit of ethnic flavor attached.

Found in the hive and in the hollows of trees, wild honey is formed from the nectar of bees that spend their lives buzzing among the columbines and high mountain wildflowers. Sweet and delicious yet richly complex, it is unique every time—impossible to recre‐ate in captivity… For lifelong musician and songwriter Yvonne Meek, the freedom to follow her muse and create her own unique sound has been shaped by the musical influences of her early years, rejoicing now in full, sweet bloom with her Montrose‐based Band, Whyld Honey.

Whyld Honey takes its name from her own early nickname, like a musical question, “Why‐Why”, and includes Jordan Carls, a jazz multi‐instrumentalist (piano/sax/clarinet)/arranger and Wade Johnston, a jazz guitarist, as the bands core members. For settings requiring a full band we feature Rob Labig, a jazz percussionist‐‐the best on the western slope; and Levi Brown, arguably the best bassist on the Western Slope as well.

Gotta Be Girls Genre/Style: Blues, country, bluegrass, swing, Celtic and folk, 4‐part harmony

Contact: [email protected] or [email protected]

Gigs: Full band. Rates vary.

With an incredibly tight blend of beautiful four part harmonies accompanied by Glenda and Karen on guitar & mandolin, Barb on bass & banjo and Margaret on a wide variety of unusual percussion instruments, they travel easily between blues, country, bluegrass, swing, Celtic and folk, as well as a wide selection of their own original tunes.

Karen and Glenda started Gotta Be Girls as a duo in the early 1990’s with first Barb and then Marga‐ret joining them in the last 2‐3 yrs. The four of them together create an incredible blend of layered vocals and eclectic musical styles.

Heavily influenced by female artists of numerous genres as well as their own individual histories of growing up in musical families ranging from Barbershop to gospel to jazz these gals easily entertain audiences ranging from ages 5‐95!

Gotta Be Girls released their CD ’56 Chevy in the Spring of 2010.

It is a welcome fresh sound in a world where CD’s are often overproduced. The CD of mostly original songs has an unexpected variety of song styles which flow together smoothly, highlighted by their tight and beautifully woven signature harmonies of Gotta Be Girls.

Great vocals, great music and always entertaining!

SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY PASSES "ROGUE WEBSITES" BILL

House Version Expected Soon

Nashville, TN -- The United States Senate Judiciary Committee this week unani-mously passed legislation targeted at eliminating websites that primarily exist to allow the theft of music, movies and other intellectual property.

"The Nashville Songwriters Association International has been focusing on this issue for months and thanks the Senators who took a bold stand against the theft of American music on the Internet. We expect similar legislation to be in-troduced in the U.S. House of Representatives very soon. We continue trekking to Washington, D.C. and will soon launch and coordinate a national campaign for songwriters to communicate with their representatives on this issue."

"With only an estimated one of thirty songs legally purchased, we MUST do something about the theft of music on the Internet."

NSAI UPDATES

JUNE 2011


HOW SONGWRITERS ARE PAID

And the Federal Government’s Role

ROYALTIES:

> Mechanical Royalty — Writers receive 9.1 cents

for a song that sells on an artist’s CD. However,

this is usually split with the publisher, leaving the

songwriter only 4.55 cents. If the song is co‐

written, then they receive only 2.275 cents! So, if

a writer has a song on a million‐selling album,

they earn around $22,750.

> Performance Royalty — A songwriter is paid

when his or her song is performed live or on ra‐

dio, television, or cable. The average perform‐

ance royalty is under $5,000 per year for those

who are lucky enough to receive performance

income.

> Songwriter royalties are THE ONLY INCOME

STREAM in America DICTATED by the Federal

Government! The rate a songwriter is paid is

determined by the Copyright Royalty Board.

When and how songwriter royalties are distrib‐

uted is governed by Congress and the Depart‐

ment of Justice.

> Songwriters cannot increase their royalty in‐

come, even if the cost of doing business in‐

creases.

> A songwriter may go years without receiving

royalties. If they have a hit song, the federal

government says that the songwriter must re‐

ceive royalties immediately after they are col‐

lected. This means a songwriter might receive

most of their income from a song in one calen‐

dar year — making that income subject to a dis‐

proportionately high income‐tax levy. Other

creators, such as book authors, can negotiate

the terms of their payments over several years

for tax purposes — but NOT songwriters! Song‐

writers were once allowed to average their in‐

comes. This is no longer permitted.

> Frivolous lawsuits can cost a songwriter their

royalty income.

AMERICA LOSES

Two‐thirds of its Professional Songwriters

> America has LOST TWO‐THIRDS of its PRO‐

FESSIONAL SONGWRITERS over the past dec‐

ade due to illegal downloading, piracy, radio

deregulation and corporate mergers.

> Radio Deregulation has resulted in dramati‐

cally fewer spots on radio playlists. A few com‐

panies program the majority of country music

reporting stations.

> Mergers and consolidations have resulted in

fewer and fewer staff songwriter positions.

PIRACY FACTS

File Stealing

> MORE THAN 1 BILLION files are illegally

downloaded EACH MONTH!

> Copyrights are the #1 BALANCE OF TRADE

EXPORT item for the United States.

> When someone steals a song on the Internet it

is not a victimless crime. Songwriters pay their

rent, medical bills and children’s educational

expenses with royalty income. That income has

been dramatically impacted by illegal download‐

ing, so many have reassessed their careers as

songwriters. Songwriters are choosing other

professions because they cannot earn a living‐ in

great part due to illegal downloading.

SONGWRITER’S INFO

Copyright infringement is one of the most important and potentially ex‐pensive legal issues affecting songwriters. Every songwriter needs to un‐derstand what to do, as a practical matter, to minimize the likelihood of being accused of copyright infringement and to maximize the likelihood of convincing others that the songwriter’s works are independent creations. Of course, there is no way to guaranty that you will not be sued for copy‐right infringement, but here are some practical tips: 1. Stay Organized: Keep a database of when and where you wrote your

songs, along with other important details about the writing ses‐sion. Information documenting the independent creation of your work will assist in defending any claim for copyright infringement or proving that your work is original if you accuse another of infringement.

2. Keep Written Records of Writing Appointments: Keep your writing appointments on your electronic calendar and print out the calendar every quarter for your records. If you do not use an electronic calendar, keep your paper calendar. If possible, keep these records forever.

3. Document Demos: If you hire musicians or studios for demos, make sure you keep documentation of the sessions that reflect who wrote the songs, who owns the demo recordings, and the date of the ses‐sions.

4. Avoid Discussing Creative Inspiration: Do not mention creative or inspi‐ration details in your PR materials, website, or interviews. By example, do not say, “I spent the weekend listening to Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline album and was inspired to write this song.”

5. Refuse to Accept Unsolicited Material: Place a disclaimer on the con‐

tact page of your website stating that you do not review or accept un‐solicited song material by any means, including mail or e‐mail.

6. Keep Tabs on Yourself: Use Google “Alerts” to alert you to anything on the web that has been posted about your songs or about you as a song‐writer.

7. Document Date of Creation: Email lyrics and digital files of newly cre‐ated songs to your co‐writer. This time‐stamps the creation of the song at least by the date of the email. Consider using MyWerx (an online product endorsed by the NSAI) or Masterwriter (a creative software endorsed by the NSAI for time stamping your works).

8. Draft Written Agreement for Writing Sessions: If possible, or in a situa‐tion where it makes sense (e.g., odd splits), have a written agreement with your co‐writer that defines each writer’s contribution to the songs written.

9. Register With Your PRO: Register your works with your performing rights society at the earliest possible date from creation.

10. Make Accurate Publisher Submissions: Make certain your publisher knows the correct date of creation and does not use the date that you turned the song in or the date that you signed the paperwork as the official date of creation.

11. Be Aware of Copyright Deposit Copies: Be aware of the deposit copy recording that accompanies your copyright registration. A guitar / vo‐cal demo is sufficient. If the commercially recorded song features a guitar solo that you did not write, do not submit the commercially re‐

corded song as your deposit copy (these situations need to be discussed with your publisher).

12. Get Insurance: Purchase E&O (errors and omissions) Insurance through the NSAI. If you do purchase an insurance policy, make sure to read the policy carefully so that you understand your coverage. Ask your home‐owners’ insurance company about an umbrella policy and the coverage that it provides.

13. Be Aware of Social Networking: B e careful about accepting Facebook, MySpace or other social networking friends that you do not know per‐sonally.

14. Performing Live Shows: If you perform new songs live, make sure you have protected that song before you perform it.

This information is not legal advice. If you have questions about this informa‐tion, or if you would like to seek legal advice, you may contact Tim Warnock ([email protected]) or Howell O’Rear ([email protected]) at Riley War‐nock & Jacobson PLC. NSAI has also created the first‐ever Group Copyright Infringement Insurance policy along with Frost Specialty Insurance, LLC. This policy can save songwriters thousands of dollars on premiums and offers cov‐erage at previously unavailable lower limits.
