kicker: “The show was great… Michael would have been proud.” – Frank DiLeo, manager of Michael Jackson Three's the charm. On Sunday, January 23, 2011, 8 p.m., the Michael Jackson tribute band, Who's Bad, performs in concert...
"Super Diamond, a Neil Diamond tribute band that tours nationally, have become enormously successful and have achieved pseudo-stardom in their own right," David Bernstein, New York Times
We're not talking De Beers. We're talking da beers, which will be flowing Friday night, January 14, when Telluride's historic Sheridan Opera House welcomes the band "Super Diamond: The Alternative Neil Diamond Experience" to town for an evening of glittering sequins, platform shoes, and bell-bottoms. In other words, a generation-spanning, uptempo walk down memory lane.
Doors and cash bar open at 8:30 p.m. Show time is 9 p.m.
Telluride Inside... and Out has talked about the many and different ways the town's five-star Wilkinson Public Library is definitely not your mother's library. Conventional descriptors like "staid" and "quiet" just don't apply. Dedicated programs for small people and teens are wide-ranging and robust. And on the theory the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, program coordinator Scott Doser is constantly forging alliances with other non-profits to fill the Program Room.
One shining example of a successful joint venture is the Telluride Film Festival's ongoing Cinematheque series at the Library, which launched for the winter season on Monday, January 3, with "Films of the Great Depression." (Stay tuned for ongoing coverage.)
Coming soon to your local Library is yet another film series, this one orchestrated by Telluride Jazz Celebration's new marketing director, Todd Altschuler. The initiative kicks off Thursday, January 6, 6 p.m., with "Icons Among Us: Jazz in the Present Tense."
Telluride is the beneficiary of a full program of holiday concerts sponsored by The Sheridan Arts Foundation. The Sheridan Opera House will be the venue to hear Citizen Cope on December 30, 2010, 8:00-10:00 p.m. Citizen Cope last performed in Telluride during the 2009...
kicker: Great Room alive once again with the sound of music. Palmyra deck too.
For years, The Peaks was a showcase for Telluride, even regional talent, its Great Room a great place to listen to great music and socialize with friends. Then for awhile the music stopped. And the crowds that gathered in support and appreciation stopped coming. But they are returning now in droves to a vastly new and improved Peaks, with a management team eager to support the cultural life in Telluride and Mountain Village.
Case in point: Monday, December 20, the Telluride Choral Society performed a program of traditional carols and holiday songs for the family. The Choral Society was followed by Richard Tavener's Lodges Lane Live doing smooth jazz and Mike Pale on acoustic guitar playing popular favorites. New Year's Eve day, DJ Ryan spins on The Palmyra Deck, 2:30 – 6 p.m., where he has been appeared on and off in late December. New Year's Eve the Jeff Solon Trio entertains.
About 10 days ago, Telluride Inside...
Telluride's Michael D. Palm Theatre hosts the Flying Karamazov Brothers December 27 and 28, 7:00 p.m. both nights.
Telluride local and friend Jeff Hauser called last week, hair on fire: the Flying Karamazov Brothers are skilled and screwy and not to be missed.
The New York Times agrees. In a review this past February, a critic wrote:
