REDDING Country mu- sic's most notable ambas- sador Marty Stuart will bring the original spirit of country music to the Cas- cade Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. Joined by his band the Fabulous Superlatives, Stuart will perform mu- sic from his forthcoming album "Saturday Night & Sunday Morning," which combines hard-charging, good-time country songs with deep gospel. Stuart's style speaks to the two distinct aspects of country music's identity by chan- neling the fervent and sol- emn spirit of its roots while capturing the energy of a modern day concert. Marty Stuart is a five time Grammy-winner, platinum recording art- ist, Grand Ole Opry star, country music archivist, southern culture histo- rian, photographer, musi- cian, songwriter, TV show host, charismatic force of nature, and country mu- sic fan. Since he starting out singing gospel as a child, Stuart, 56, has spent over four decades celebrating American roots music with a missionary's zeal. He is one of country music's most eclectic musicians, moving between honky tonk, rockabilly, country- rock, traditional country and bluegrass. He is also one of the more flamboy- ant showmen, supporting his party-hardy image with a wardrobe of rhinestone- laden suits. Tickets are available at 243-8877 or www.cascade- theatre.org. CASCADE Marty Stuart & his Fabulous Superlatives REDDING "Madina's Dream" will be shown at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, at Shasta College in Room 802. "Madina's Dream" is an unflinching and po- etic glimpse into a forgot- ten war, the film tells the story of rebels and refu- gees fighting to survive in Sudan's Nuba Mountains. It will be followed by a dis- cussion with Omer Ismail and Philip Tutu which will be moderated by Esther Sprague. This free event is spon- sored by Genocide No More—Save Darfur and the Shasta College Office of Access and Equity. Dona- tions for humanitarian re- lief for victims of the geno- cide will be accepted. "Madina's Dream" was filmed by Andrew Berends, who also produced "Delta Boys" and "The Blood of My Brother." Omer Ismail, who spoke in Redding last year, is a Senior Advisor to the Enough Project in Washington, D.C. and has worked closely with John Prendergast and George Clooney on the Satellite Sentinel Program. Philip Tutu, who is also a native of Sudan, is the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North repre- sentative to the United States. Esther Sprague is the founder of Sudan Unlim- ited and co-founder of Act for Sudan. While the focus of the governments of the world, including the United States, has been on other issues and conflicts, grave and widespread human rights violations have con- tinued in Sudan. Since the genocide in Darfur began in 2003, millions have been displaced and hun- dreds of thousands have been killed. In Darfur and in the Nuba Mountains deliber- ate attacks on civilian con- tinue. "Madina's Dream" fo- cuses on the plight of the men, women, and children who are the victims of aer- ial bombings and starva- tion used by the govern- ment of Sudan in the Nuba Mountains. At one point the filmmaker finds him- self right in the middle of an air strike.

REDDING Shasta Youth Symphony auditions set for Aug. 19 By Christine Lee krlee@chicoer.com @leechris017 on Twitter CHICO R&B funk and soul eight-piece band, Joy and Madness is bringing the spunk to Sierra Nevada's Big Room. The 7:30 p.m. perfor- mance on Aug. 26 will be the Sacramento-based band's first time at the Big Room, and the songs will be the band's first time record- ing outside of their home- town, which affected the vibe of the new album. "We went to Oakland to record instead of Sac- ramento and that affected the vibe," said vocalist Hans Eberback. "(It affected the songs) in small ways — the studio was a lot more elab- orate and there was a level of professionalism which made you want to step up your game consciously. "Also, just going out at night, eating chicken and waffles and seeing Daryl Wiggin from Tony Tony Tony, an R&B band in the '90s that had real influence on the scene, — it was really serendipitous." The band's big sound and energy on stage is in- fectious. Blasting trumpet, drums and saxophone fill a room with energy that causes audiences to move. "Expect catchy horn lines, soul-fueled vocals and danceability," Eber- back said. "The lyrics in this new record are often saying something (impor- tant). It's dance music and during our live show, as cli- ché as it sounds, they're go- ing to walk away changed. "I see it every time. Peo- ple come to this for a trans- formative experience and (the songs give) relief. I dance like a mad man on that stage. I wouldn't do this if I didn't play music with these people. There's that sense of relief and com- munal experience." The band has been to- gether for three years. An- drew Enberg plays drums; Jeremy Springer on keys; Raul Sandoval, baritone saxophone; Tony Marvelli, trumpet; Tim Taylor, tenor saxophone; Miss Nyxi, bass; Bobby G on guitar and Eb- erback on vocals. Ryan Sacco is also touring with the band and he plays per- cussion. Bandmate Bobby G has played and produced music with Earth, Wind, and Fire, Sheila E and Lionel Richie. "He's had a pretty (amaz- ing) career for that era of R&B," Eberback said. "(On this record), Bobby and I do an electronic duo — I'm running foot petals while he's playing and we're able to enliven the music." Their current EP, "Lit- tle Bright World" includes songs about joint madness — something that the band wants people to realize and look at the world differently. "We want to get people to hit the reset button with their emotions," Eberback said. "It's a chance to cleanse your pallet, your stress or anger. This batch felt like an entity packaged to- gether. This record has a completely different vibe. "It's a complete batch of songs that capture a mo- ment that we're living in, soaked with experience and there's a lot more joy and madness."
