Gaelic Storm blows into town
■ iiieiiiyii-entJiyy mubiu
performance should please
dancers and listeners alike
By Jen West
Oregon Daily Emerald
Fans of the lively Celtic dance
music the 1998 blockbuster “Titan
ic” are in for a special treat when
Gaelic Storm comes to Eugene.
Gaelic Storm, the band that
helped spur the Oscar-winning
movie’s second soundtrack release,
“Back to Titanic,” will perform Jan.
28 at the Wild Duck Music Hall.
“It’s shit you can’t not move to,”
concert promoter Dan Steinberg said.
Steinberg said although he had
never seen Gaelic Storm live, he had
seen some videos of their concerts.
He said the band performed fast
paced, high-energy concerts that
had audiences dancing to their
Celtic/Gaelic rhythms.
He added that Eugene is off the
band’s beaten path, and though the
band usually performs at art cen
ters, he chose the Wild Duck to bet
ter entice University students to
come check out the concert.
Brendan Relaford, general man
ager for Big Green Music Events at
the Wild Duck, predicted that Mon
day’s performance would draw
more of a “listening audience” than
a dance crowd.
“The crowd will be there out of cu
riosity,” he said, because the show is
“all based on publicity and hype.”
Relaford added he thought the
Community cinema attracts crowds
band would draw an older crowd
that would be more interested in
“music appreciation.”
Band members for Gaelic Storm
include Steve Wehmeyer on vocals
and the bodhran (an Irish drum),
Patrick Murphy on vocals, spoons,
harmonica and accordion, Steve
Twigger on guitar, mandolin and vo
cals, Shep Lonsdale on the djembe
(a West African drum) and Kathleen
Keane on fiddle, tin whistle and
button accordion.
In the mid-1990s, the band mem
bers met over pints at a seaside pub
in Santa Monica, Calif., according
to Gaelic Storm’s Web site, and they
soon began performing together.
They released their first self-titled
CD in 1998 and then released their
following albums “Herding Cats” in
1999 and “Tree” in 2001.
Local folk singer/songwriter Elise
Coakley will open the show. Though
she has not yet produced a CD, Stein
berg said she has performed in Eu
gene, Portland and Seattle, opening

for bands such as Crash Test Dum
mies and Trisha Yearwood.
“She’s got a great voice,” Stein
berg said. “If Ani DiFranco and Sh
eryl Crow had an offspring, it would
be (Coakley).”
Coakley, who is also a University
student, described her music as
mellow and laid back.
“Most of my songs are pretty per
sonal songs,” she said.
Though her music is a different
style than that of Gaelic Storm, she
said their music will mesh well.
“I’m a big fan of Celtic music,”
she said.
Coakley said she enjoys playing
in Eugene and is excited to hear
Gaelic Storm as well.
The concert begins at 8 p.m. and
is open to all ages.
Tickets are available for $14 the day
of the show and $12 in advance at the
Wild Duck and www.fastixx.com.

presents shows with a mix
of live acts, speakers and films
By Mark Brennan
for the Emerald
The Beatles, Gene Kelly, “Stone
Soup” cartoonist Jan Eliot, Groucho
Marx and Eugene opera artistic di
| rector Robert Ashens finally have
something in common.
They are all performing, in a man
ner of speaking, on Sunday after
noons in Eugene.
Impact! Theatre, and its directors,
Randy Lord and Katina Paxino,
have developed an ongoing series of
afternoon shows entitled the Family
Fun Film Festival. The shows are a
combination of live performances,
guest speakers, old-time comedy
shorts, cartoons and classic feature
films presented at the recently reno
vated McDonald Theatre.
According to Lord, who is also
the founder of the Lord Leebrick
Theatre, the idea is a return to a
fuller, more satisfying experience
for moviegoers.
“This is a lot more than a movie. At
our nrsi snow, we siarcea out wnn a
live performance by vaudeville per
former Whistling Mitch Hider, May
or (Jim) Torrey spoke, we showed a
Buster Keaton short, which many
people have never seen, a cartoon and
then the feature,” Lord said.
Lord and Paxmo are also happy
that their project has added to the re
vitalization of the downtown area.
“That comer has come alive since
the McDonald reopened,” Paxino
said. “Kit Kesey, when he decided
to take over the McDonald, had the
vision of having families in there.
Now there is.”
Kesey is the nephew of Eugene
author Ken Kesey, who died in
November.
“What’s neat is kids are singing
along, and people that don’t know
each other are talking and having
fun,” Paxino said.
Lord added that the renovations
to the McDonald have included im
provements to both the projection
system and the sound system.
“These films are all classics. People
may have seen them on TV or on VHS,
but it’s a whole new experience seeing
them on a big screen,” Lord said.
tmannon Murpny, a motner ot
two, agreed.
“This is a fun and inexpensive way
to take the whole family to the
movies, and the movie looked great
on the big screen,” she said. “I think
this is a great idea, and the live music
really adds to the overall experience. ”
To further foster this sense of
community, Impact! also donates a
block of tickets for each perform
ance to different social service agen
cies and is happy to see others con
tributing as well.
“LTD is also offering a day pass to
those families that receive free tick
ets so they can get to and from the
show,” Paxino said.
This Sunday’s film will be “Sin
gin’ in the Rain.” The special
guest will be Marc Siegel, artistic
director of the Dance Theatre of
Oregon, and the Musical Feet Tap
Dance Company will provide live
entertainment.
General admission is $6; admis
sion for children 3 and under is free.
The show starts at 1:30 p.m.
