The Foundry Sings!

BUY TICKETS

The rafters of the 160 year old Stone Hall at the Miners Foundry Cultural Center will ring on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.!  Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the singing begins at 6:00 p.m.  Rod Baggett, choral conductor at Nevada Union High School and Seven Hills Middle School with Jonathan Meredith on guitar, will lead voices unified in song. This month, we’re singing, “Listen To The Music,” a beloved Doobie Brothers song.

This unique countywide experience aims to gather people of all ages and singing levels under one roof to share in the power of song.  The Foundry Sings is inspired by the popular Choir! Choir! Choir!, a weekly drop-in singing event based in Toronto, Canada, which has attracted professional musicians such as Rufus Wainwright to sing with the group.

This Foundry Sings is sponsored by our business sponsor, Dignity Health! We’re grateful for their generosity!

 

How It Works

When attendees arrive, they are given a lyric sheet to a popular contemporary song.  Attendees do not need to know how to read music, Rod Baggett and Jonathan Meredith will teach vocal arrangement and lead practices.  At the end of the evening everyone joins together to sing the song.  The performance is filmed and posted on YouTube.  Everyone has a grand time and goes home feeling great!

Get Tickets!

Admission is a $10 suggested donation, but no one is turned away for lack of funds.  Tickets may be purchased online, or  at the Miners Foundry Box Office.

Mark has over 30 recordings to his name. Cash Box King’s vocalist OSCAR WILSON hails from Chicago’s South Side, where he learned blues from his father’s friends, Big Smokey Smothers and Honeyboy Edwards, as a kid. The Cash Box Kings are one of the hottest new acts on Alligator Records and also recorded two for Blind Pig Records a few years back. Oscar has been the star attraction in the band, thanks to his elastic range and natural showmanship. Wilson is one of the most real sounding voices in the blues world and is quickly gaining a following world-wide! Their newest, “Oscar’s Motel” is number ONE on most radio charts the last two months!

Beard settled down in Memphis in his teens and  started playing guitar but didn’t play out till 1965, favoring John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed and Muddy Waters songs. When Joe became an electrician in Rochester, NY in 1957 , music was a hobby but a busy one. Joe and Soul Brothers Six opened shows for BB King, Bobby Bland, Albert King, Little Milton, James Cotton and anyone else that landed at the famed BK Lounge in Rochester. 

In the early 60s Joe would be approached while playing on his porch by a guy by the name of Son House, the legendary idol/mentor to Robert Johnson The two men became close friends till House died. Beard has started many careers of younger players, Ronnie Earl, John Mooney, Steve Grills, Marquise Knox and many more. Touring Europe in 1983 Joe recorded w/Lafayette Leake, Memphis Slim and Buster Benton. In the 1990s Beard sang for James Cotton Trio as part of the band.

Beard and Billy Flynn most recently appear as guests on Hummel’s 2020 cd  Wayback Machine.

After a life making cheeseballs—traditional and smoky!—Liz takes a pilgrimage into the unknown until she finds a new home waiting tables at Plymouth Crock, a restaurant run almost entirely by recovering alcoholics. Meanwhile, her old Squeamish community is on the verge of collapse as they struggle to replicate Liz’s cheeseballs. Will Liz return to help? And why is she sweating so much? Find out when you come to Book of Liz, the next in Sierra Stages’ Theatre by the Book series!

The Polish Ambassador

Things became quite uncertain in 2020, so David Sugalski aka The Polish Ambassador, did what he does best: He made a plan.  The Ambassador added seven milking goats to his homestead in Northern California.  Little did he know the creatures would inspire some of TPA’s best work, plus the goats were well… super chill… hence the namesake of the album and 2023 Super Chill Goats National Tour.

On what is being dubbed the Ambassador’s most club worthy music to date, David Sugalski dips and swirls through an array of genres:  world, bass, hiphop, synthwave, and funk are all present.  This is electronic music with groove that gets the dance floor bouncing.

The Polish Ambassador rocks more than a trademark jumpsuit, authoring sublime, intentional artistic works, animated safaris in technicolor sound.  The Jumpsuited One has headlined iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, and the renowned counter-culture gathering Oregon Country Fair.  Suwannee Hulaween, Electric Forest, Envision Festival, and Lighting In A Bottle and other national festivals have each repeatedly invited The Polish Ambassador back across different years.

The Ambassador manages a 25 acre goat, sheep, fruit tree homestead, has a solar powered music studio, coordinated The Permaculture Action tour in which fans were invited to participate in service days in their local communities the day after each show.  In 2018, The Polish Ambassador released a full length graphic novel based on the mythology and origin story of the TPA character.

The Infamous Stringdusters

The GRAMMY® Award-winning quintet — Andy Falco (guitar), Chris Pandolfi (banjo), Andy Hall (dobro), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), and Travis Book (double bass)— have musical influences that truly run the gamut. But their common denominator is certainly bluegrass — the sound that has in essence defined the course of their career.

The Infamous Stringdusters stand out as the rare group who can team up with contemporary artists on late night television one night and headline the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre or perform alongside the Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh the next, and have recently emerged as proprietors behind their newly found independent record label, Americana Vibes.

The Infamous Stringdusters

After finally being in the same room for the first time in six months, the Infamous Stringdusters seized the moment for their revealing new album, Toward the Fray. Inspired by self-reflection and a strong sense of solidarity, the project documents the Grammy Award-winning group’s remarkable growth as instrumentalists as well as songwriters. Released on their own label, Americana Vibes, the collection also firmly establishes the band’s stature on the modern acoustic music landscape, where they’ve built a solid and enduring fan base among traditional and progressive audiences alike.

The five band members – Travis Book (bass), Andy Falco (guitar), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), Andy Hall (Dobro), and Chris Pandolfi (banjo) — wrote the songs on Toward the Fray separately, sending simple phone demos to each other during lockdown. Fueled by friendship and a mastery of their instruments, the 13-track collection feels live, but not necessarily loose, due to a synergy that’s developed over the last 16 years of playing sheds, clubs, and festival stages across the country.

“With all of our records, we always go into the studio to capture the live energy of our band, so I feel like we were all comfortable just plugging right in and getting started,” Pandolfi says. “All five of us have arrived at this point in our careers where we all produce – we produce our own music and some of us produce for others.

We knew we could get it done with all that collective intel and know-how. One of the awesome things about being in this band is that everybody is always working on their instrumental game. When we show up for a new tour or a new album, we all get a chance to dig even a little deeper — and you can hear that part of it.

That’s always been part of our mantra.”

Zepparella

How to honor the legacy of a band deemed sacred? To tread on holy ground is perilous, and must be done with the intent and spirit of a disciple—Pay attention to the intricacies of the magic, explore the far ends of the innovation, strive for ever-growing ability, and let the purity of the love for the music drive it all.

Drummer Clementine is the founding member of ZEPPARELLA.

From the beginning of her musical career, her goal has been to be onstage every night.

The pursuit of that goal has led Clementine to constantly tour the US and Europe in projects as diverse as Bottom, AC/DShe, The House Of More, The Solid, Francis Bakin, Stars Turn Me On and Beaux Cheveux.

She tackles the best rock drumming ever written with her own emotionally powerful style, bringing the Motown influence of the Bonham groove to the forefront.

The profound musical connection established with Gretchen Menn (guitar), Holly West (bass), and Anna Kristina (vocals) creates the bond required to do this great music justice.

 

 

 

 

 

It was under the tutelage of classical guitarist Phillip DeFremery, a student of Andrés Segovia, that guitarist Gretchen Menn began her path on the instrument.

Playing with tireless passion and constantly seeking out new challenges, her projects are often unconventional, genre-bending expressions combining elements of classical, rock, progressive, jazz, and metal.

On influences, Gretchen has never tired of her initial inspirations—Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa, and Jeff Beck.

But she has loved Jimmy Page’s guitar playing longer than she has played the guitar.

It was through the music of Led Zeppelin that she found a gateway into music that resonated deeply with her, creating a love for guitar-oriented music, and, ultimately, the guitar.

 

 

 

 

 

Bassist Holly West began her musical journey full-steam ahead, and more recently than her stellar playing belies.

Her unstoppable will and drive have truly propelled her to this moment and her place in the powerhouse Zepparella.

A self-taught bass player, she is also a blossoming vocalist with rich rock pipes.

Her time on stage has been well spent, developing an impressive attack, impeccable feel, and a technique which seems to have come completely naturally to her, not to mention her dazzling stage presence and joyful performance style.

Her influences span the rock gauntlet, from Clutch and the Rival Sons to Slash, ZZ Top, and of course, the mighty Zeppelin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Singer Anna Kristina is a soulful, fiery, and rocking vocal powerhouse who has stepped into Zepparella’s Plant spot for a second time.

Anna was with the band for 5 years, became known for her performance in the band’s 15 million-view “When The Levee Breaks” video, took a 6-year hiatus, and now returns in 2018 to front the band.

Her career has spanned acoustic, jazz, soul, rock, and her charisma and power delivers captivating performances every night. About her brilliant harp playing she says: “getting a chance to blow on the harmonica is an added bonus!

Plant isn’t just a singer he’s a musician.

He brings his blues background and natural percussive feel to his harmonica playing as well and I love getting lost in that.

Playing the harp allows me to express on a whole different level and it’s so freeing.”

 

 

 

 

Now more than ever, Zepparella explores their own improvised magic within the framework of Zeppelin’s mighty songs!
