Hot Club of Cowtown plays The Hank
What: Live show from acclaimed Texas Western swing outfit
Where: Henry Strater Theatre, 699 Main Ave.
When: Tues., Aug. 5. Doors open at 6 p.m.,
After a two-year hiatus from a rigorous touring schedule, one of
Austin’s most acclaimed bands will be swinging back through
Durango. “The most globe-trotting, hard-swinging Western
Swing trio on the planet,” The Hot Club of Cowtown, plays the
Henry Strater Theatre this Tuesday, starting at 7 p.m.
“We made the show early so people can get to work the next
morning,” said “The Hank” theatre manager, Sophie
Parrott.
Made up of Elana James, on violin and vocals, Whit Smith on
guitar and vocals, and Jake Erwin on bass and vocals, the trio got
its start in the mid-’90s when James met up with Smith
through an ad in New York City’s Village Voice. Rooted in hot
jazz, Americana, vintage pop and folk, the Hot Club of Cowtown has
grown from its early days busking for tips in San Diego’s
Balboa Park to a formidable international sensation and
ever-growing presence on the festival scene. Along with its
relentless touring schedule, the band has managed to release five
critically acclaimed albums along the way.
Regular tour mates with the likes of Willie Nelson and Bob
Dylan, the band took a break two years ago while James went on the
road with Dylan. However, the three have reunited in anticipation
of an upcoming release this fall.
Among the youngest members ever inducted into the Texas Western
Swing Hall of Fame, Hot Club of Cowtown has been featured on shows
such as NPR’s “All Things Considered,” “The
Grand Ol’ Opry“ and “A Prairie Home
Companion,” among others.
Early birds who get to The Hank by 6 p.m. will be treated to a
free swing dance lesson. Bar and main doors open at 6:30 p.m. for a
7 p.m. show. Tickets and more information is available at the
theatre Box Office daily from 10 a.m.-8 p.m., by calling 3750-7160
or online at www.HenryStraterTheatre.com.

Aspen Guard Station opens to the public
What: An artists open house at the historic ranger station
Where: The Aspen Guard Station, located outside Mancos
When: Fri., Aug. 1, from 1-5 p.m.
The Aspen Guard Station is opening the doors to the public this
week. On Aug. 1, current artist in residence, Dan Oakleaf, will
hold a 1-5 p.m. open house at the historic cabin near Mancos.
Oakleaf is one of eight artists selected for residencies this
year at the old San Juan National Forest ranger station. Residents
are selected by area arts councils to participate in the program
each summer and fall. In return, they donate their time and talents
to local communities.
Oakleaf is an artist from Arvada who depicts the natural world
and wildlife in oil paintings produced both “plein air”
and in the studio. His style is “painterly realism,”
although he does experiment with color and texture. Animals
are often depicted in his work, and he has been informally studying
in the Zoology Department at the Denver Museum of Nature and
Science for the past year.
Visitors to the cabin will be able to view Oakleaf’s
studies and completed paintings produced during his two-week stay
at the cabin, as well as view work in progress. Oakleaf is
currently featured in an invitational show and accompanying book at
Showings Fine Art Gallery in Denver.
More information on the Artist-in-Residence Program is available
at: www.fs.fed.us/r2/sanjuan/about/a-i-r/. For directions to the
cabin, call 385-1219.
