If Fela Kuti was a rabbi, his music might've sounded something like The Afro-Semitic Experience . This band combines African and African-American influenced jazz, soul, funk and samba with traditional Jewish cantorial singing.
Christmas has a brand name. For more than 25 years, Mannheim Steamroller has marked itself as the authority on Christmas music. Mannheim Steamroller is Christmas, and Christmas would not be Christmas without Mannheim Steamroller. Oh, there are plenty of other groups like the Trans Siberian Orchestra that come close, but Mannheim Steamroller has such a unique sound all its own, contemporary, yet far away from modern music, that has enabled it to brand itself as the official music of the holidays. Founder and composer Chip Davis has not-so-successfully branched out with Halloween and relaxation music, but his true mark on the Christmas holiday is what draws so many to touring concerts of his music each year. This year, the West Coast tour comes to Fresno, Bakersfield, Sacramento and Redding.

My son Zachary wasn't sure if he wanted to see INTERGALACTIC NEMESIS, and then I explained to him exactly what the concept was (and showed him a couple of clips from the website). Suddenly, he was very interested. I was instantly reminded of times we've spent together before bedtime, me clutching a comic book in one hand, and he hanging on my every word as I describe the action and portray the different characters from the story. This show brings those actions to life in exciting fashion, combining the use of 1250 panels of hand drawn action (projected on a Hi-Res screen), three voice actors who cover all the characters who populate this adventure, a talented foley artist who makes sure the atmosphere feels authentic, and a pianist who accompanies it all with a thrilling score. Intergalactic Nemesis does exactly what it sets out to do, bringing a graphic novel to life on stage in thrilling, compelling, and sometimes downright humorous manner.
