    logo_sedonahubSedona AZ (February 25, 2019) – It’s that time of year again.  Music in The House welcomes back Gary Simpkins and Loose Change for a return performance at the Sedona Hub.  Gary will be joined by Kris Baldwin on bass along with a pocket full of “loose change” surprise guests. As always he will have plenty to say and plenty to sing about. With smooth voice and ringing guitar style, Simpkins pulls you into his songs of the ’60’s and holds you there.  Opening for Gary will be Cat Ransom, a newcomer to the Music In The House stage and a wonderful singer/songwriter. Join Gary Simpkins and Loose Change along with Cat Ransom on Friday, March 8th, 2019, 7:00 pm at the Sedona Hub.

    20190225_GarySimpkinsGary’s songs include an eclectic mix of covers and original tunes, from a soulful performance of Jimmie Webb’s Wichita Lineman, and a truly silly and entertaining version of the ’50’s tune Little Darling by the Diamonds, to songs by Ian Tyson and Travis Edmundson and innovative originals like “Stay Low, Move Fast.”  The band Loose Change is an ever changing and dynamic group of performers from the Verde Valley. They include Winnipeg’s own Kris Baldwin, bassist and singer for this ensemble and a wonderful singer/songwriter in his own right, and a few other special musical guests. Together they will raise you up and take you on a musical magic carpet ride.

    Gary has been around the folk/rock, singer/songwriter scene since the ’60’s, cutting his teeth on the Open Mic scene in his college days in New Haven. He’s played gigs all over the Northeast, notably at the Bitter End in New York City, Club 47 (Now Club Passim’s) in Cambridge, the Exit in New Haven, and Salt in Newport (where he opened for Maria Muldaur).   

    “No time in history did music make as much of a difference than in the ’60’s,” reflected Simpkins.  “Many of the songs I do, including songs by Dave Mallett, John Phillips, and, of course, Bob Dylan, are more than just protest songs.  They are a mirror into everything ’60’s – the war, politics, social justice, free love  – everything.”

    20190225_CatRansomCat Ransom is a local singer/songwriter who has played a number of coffeehouses in the area with her duo F-sharp.  She has participated in the Verde River song competition, and will be doing a number of her originals to open the evening.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
