Peggy James Presents
Concert: Peggy James CD Release Party
at Vogel Hall
Sep 17 2010 8 pm
Tickets: $20; On sale: NOW!
Peggy James CD Release Party
Peggy James was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but spent her
formative years in the Southwest. This desert Americana flavor
influences all of her songs yet she spans many genres making her song
writing style unique and interesting.
Her lyrics are honest and direct - shooting straight to the
heart. Her voice is clear and sweet yet she can get tough and rock 'n'
roll with the best of them.
Peggy has been referred to as one of the best female
singer/songwriters around. She has two albums produced by well known
producer and guitarist Mike Hoffmann (EIEIO, Semi Twang, Cherry Cake
and YIPES). Mike produced her first album, "Help Me Out" and her second
album, "Crossroad Moment", both produced at Joe's Real Recording in
Milwaukee owned by Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes. Hoffmann
also played lead in her first band.
Her latest album "Joan of Arc" was produced by Jim Eannelli at
Honeybug studio in Milwaukee. Eannelli is not only a talented producer
but a masterful musician. He produced the original recordings and
played lead guitar with the legendary 80's power-pop band, the
Shivvers. He has also played with Willie Porter, Sammy Llanas of the
BoDeans, Pat Donohue of Prairie Home Companion Shoe Band and Salt Creek
to name a few.
Peggy James has performed locally and in Nashville, Austin and
Chicago. She has opened for the BoDeans, Iris Dement and Eddie Money.
She has performed with Gordon Gano, John Kruth and Paul Cebar in
"Milwaukee Songs and Stories", a songwriter's showcase, John Sieger,
from Semi Twang and the Subcontinentals, Scott Finch, from Gypsy,
Illegal Smile, the Waltzing Tunas and Blue Hand, along with Greg
Slavik, Mike Kashou and the Woodridge Brothers.
Peggy has a new band featuring Jim Eannelli on lead guitar,
Matt Liban on drums and Jack Rice on bass and she's ready to rock. From
roots twang to world pop she is sure to please the most discriminating
Americana music fan.

Who should make the
decisions in a growing business? Have you really thought about it? Do you know
how dangerous it is for a business to concentrate the decision making in only
one person? Monopolizing the decision making process has collateral and long
term consequences and even so a lot of business owners continue to make all
decisions themselves. Professional personnel around you are qualified and
experienced decision makers, USE THEM, your future is at
stake.

Book: Dreaming in Cuban
By Christina Garcia
Saturday, September 18
11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Antigua Latin Restaurant
5823 W. Burnham Street
Garcia's
first novel is about Cuba, her native country, and three generations of
del Pino women who are seeking spiritual homes for their passionate,
often troubled souls. Celia del Pino and her descendants also share
clairvoyant and visionary powers that somehow remain undiminished,
despite the Cuban revolution and its profound effect upon their lives.
This dichotomy suffuses their lives with a potent mixture of
superstition, politics, and surrealistic charm that gives the novel an
otherworldly atmosphere. Writing in a variety of forms, she combines
narratives, love letters, and monologs to portray the del Pinos as they
move back and forth through time. Garcia tells their story with an
economy of words and a rich, tropical imagery, setting a brisk but
comfortable pace. - From: LIBRARY JOURNAL, Janet W. Reit, Univ. of Vermont Lib., Burlington

Son de Madera
| Friday, October 22 at 7:30 p.m.

performing Son Jarocho (a folk music genre and dance with roots in Veracruz, Mexico) for close to two decades,
constantly building sounds to enrich and enhance the sonic landscape of their
culture's traditional music and infuse it with modern sounds. Two traditional

the cadence of percussive dance, while an electric bass interweaves contemporary
layers of foundation to create a unique fusion of the past and today. Son de Madera's evening performance will be preceded
by a special performance from the Latino Arts Strings
Program.

that specializes in genre-blurring, original compositions and arrangements as

improvisational elements and percussive techniques to showcase the rhythmic
characteristics of Latin music.

the Latino Arts Auditorium: General Admission $25, Seniors (60+) $20, Full-Time Students
$15.
Exhibitions
Luis
Barragรกn Legacy | September
10 - October 8
Mexican architect Luis Barragรกn
(1902-1988) left a definitive stamp on modern design, advocating for "emotional
architecture" to take precedent over design that purely serves function. In
1980, he won the Pritzker Prize, an award that honors architects that
demonstrate "talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and
significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art
of architecture." This collection examines Barragรกn's colorful yet minimalist
style through photographs, blueprints, and video.
Special Thanks to La Llorona Art
Gallery in Chicago, Illinois and Casa
Luis Barragรกn in Mexico
City, Mexico.
The opening
reception will take place during Latino Arts' Sixth Annual Noche de Gala on
Saturday, September 18 at 8:00 p.m. in the Latino Arts Auditorium and
Gallery.
Dรญa
de Los Muertos Ofrendas | October 22
- November 19
A staple of Latino Arts fall visual
arts calendar for nearly a decade, this exhibition features bold colors and a
wide variety of materials in unique altars or "ofrendas". Local regional and
national artists pay tribute to the lives of loved ones in the tradition of
Latin America's Day of the Dead
celebration.
Opening
Reception: Friday, October 22 | 5:00-7:30 p.m.

Cuban Printmaking | December 3

Taller
Experimental de Grรกfica, Havana's graphic workshop, was founded in 1962
by a small group of artists but now boasts over 100 members. Participants of the
collective primarily practice lithography, but the variety in themes and imagery
speaks to the creative environment the workshop fosters. The exhibition features
over seventy-five pieces from more than thirty artists.
Opening Reception: Friday, December 3 | 5:00-7:30
p.m.
Exhibitions in the Latino Arts
Gallery are open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 8:00

melodies." The event will also include a performance from the Latino Arts Strings Program and highlight

Barragรกn.

Chicago Fire Edged
by Seattle Sounders FC 2-1
Montero's Brace
Trumps Thorrington's Goal as Fire Are Defeated at Qwest
Field
Chicago Fire
midfielder John Thorrington scored in his 2010 debut, but his 28th minute
penalty kick wasn't enough as Freddy Montero notched a brace to defeat the Fire
2-1 in front of a sold out crowd at Qwest Field in Seattle, WA. Freddie
Ljungberg made his return to Seattle in a hard fought, hotly contested match,
featuring two teams grabbing for points in the 2010 MLS Cup Playoff push, but it
was Montero who stole the game with a header in the waning moments of added time
to elevate Sounders FC over the Fire.
The Fire (6-7-6, 24
points) lost their second consecutive road game against a Western Conference
opponent, bringing their record on the road to 3-5-2. The loss drops the Fire to
fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 11 matches remaining.
The Fire withstood
initial pressure from Sounders FC and set up Thorrington's spot kick when
Husidic switched fields and sent a booming cross to Patrick Nyarko on the left
side. The fleet Ghanaian dribbled along the touchline before sending an angled
pass that was handled by an oncoming Jeff Parke. The referee immediately pointed
to the spot and Thorrington clinically placed the ball into the back of the net
to give the Fire a one goal advantage. The South African born, California raised
midfielder returned to the field from a season-long quadriceps injury, scoring
his first goal since Nov. 7, 2009.
The Seattle side
leveled the match at 1-1 eight minutes later when Patrick Ianni played Tyson
Wahl into space on the left side. Wahl found Montero just inside the 18-yard box
with a driven cross. The 23-year-old Colombian brought the ball down with a
touch, maneuvered around Fire defender Gonzalo Segares and powered the ball past
Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson to the far post to pull even with the Fire in the
36th minute.
Montero tallied the
game winner in the 92nd minute. The plucky forward lurked near the back post, as
Seattle pressured in the closing minutes of the match, rising to head home a
well struck ball from Sounders FC midfielder Nathan Sturgis, who floated a
lofted ball across the box. The last second effort was Montero's second goal of
the game and 10th of the season.

The Men in Red sit
in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 11 games remaining in the 2010 MLS
campaign. Teammates on the U.S. Men's national team Landon Donovan and Edson
Buddle will serve as the opposition, as the Fire look to improve their record at
TOYOTA PARK (3-2-5) and continue to grab points in the hunt for a spot in the
