Steve Earle plays the Community Concert Hall

What: A show from the country-rock legend to benefit KSUT Public Radio

Where: The Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College

When: Wed., July 9 at 7:30 p.m.

An alt-country pioneer takes Durango’s biggest stage next week in a benefit for local public radio.

Singer-songwriter Steve Earle joins his wife and special guest, Allison Moorer, at the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College on July 9. The 7:30 p.m. show benefits KSUT.

Earle is known for his acclaimed country-infused rock and folk music, as well as his strong political views. During his last Durango performance in January 2003, he played to a sold-out crowd at the Abbey Theatre.

Earle’s latest CD, “Washington Square Serenade,” is a tribute to the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s. ”That period changed pop music,” Earle says. “It made lyrics much more important. Rock ’n’ roll could have become a subgenre of pop if it hadn’t been for that literary aspect, which completely came out of a four-block area in New York City in one brief instant of time.”

In addition to his music, Earle is also a published author, poet and has written and directed a play. Earle also recently produced a new album for Joan Baez. He and Moorer now make their home in New York City.

Tickets to the Earle show are available at the concert hall box office, online at www.durangoconcerts.com and by phone, 247-7657.

Abbey Theatre opens surreal ‘The Fall’ What: “The Fall,” a fantasy/drama, directed by Tarsem Singh  Where: The Abbey Theatre, 128 E. College   When: Opening Fri., July 4, and running for two weeks If movies are the art form closest to dreaming, “The Fall” is one terrific mental journey. Despite mixed reviews, this is magical fare, an adult dreamscape with echoes of “The Wizard of Oz.” The transport to another land is equally exotic, the resolution weaves together characters from reality, and the adult ending is far scarier than flying monkeys. The picture opens for a two-week run this Friday at the Abbey Theatre. Based on a fabled Bulgarian film from the 1980s, “The Fall” begins in a Los Angeles hospital where Hollywood stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace) is befriended by a little girl, Alexandria (Cantica Untaru). Walker suffered two injuries: one from a fall from a railroad trestle, the other from a sour love affair. Desperately wanting an overdose of morphine, he gently tricks Alexandria into stealing morphine pills for him. As bait, Walker uses a fantastical quest story. To learn what happens next, the little girl must sneak into the dispensary on a quest of her own. Walker weaves a story about five desert bandits who seek revenge on the evil Governor Odious. The quest ranges all over the world. Here’s where the high-gloss fantasy kicks in. Director Tarsem Singh shot the film in 18 countries. You can identify the Taj Mahal, Rome’s Capitoline Hill, and Prague’s Charles Bridge. Less specific but more exotic, distant vistas near the Dead Sea create a desert wasteland. Walker weaves a bloody tale of revenge. Alexandria begs him not to kill off the bandits, but he does. As fantasy and reality intertwine more densely, you realize Walker’s story is inspired by the treasures in Alexandria’s little wooden box and hospital personnel. The Oz prototype becomes apparent, but in a violent conclusion, which warrants the R rating, keeps this from being family fare. “The Fall” is a visually spectacular film that comes as close to a dreamscape as you could desire. Call 385-1711 or visit www.abbeytheatre.com for showtimes. -Judith Reynolds
