In The Mood has a pair of performances at The Playhouse on Rodney Square (formerly the DuPont Theatre) on Feb. 5, saluting the music of World War II.<\/p><\/div>\n

World War II lasted from 1939-1945 so, not surprisingly, many of the people who were adults back then have since passed away. According to statistics released by the Veteran\u2019s Administration, our World War II vets are dying at a rate of approximately 550 a day. This means there are approximately only 1.2 million veterans remaining of the 16 million who served our nation in World War II.<\/p>\n

Obviously, those veterans and their sacrifices will always be remembered. Fortunately, the culture of that era is being kept alive also — especially with shows such as \u201cIn the Mood,\u201d which is visiting the former DuPont Theater which is now known as the Playhouse on Rodney Square (10th<\/sup>\u00a0and Market streets, Wilmington, Delaware, 302-888-0200, www.\u00a0duponttheatre.com<\/a>) for a pair of shows on February 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn The Mood\u201d celebrates that generation through the music of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Erskine Hawkins, The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra and other idols of the 1940s.<\/p>\n

The show took its name from the song \u201cIn the Mood,\u201d which was a big band era Number 1 hit recorded by American bandleader Glenn Miller. It topped the charts for 13 straight weeks in 1940 in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The touring production \u201cIn the Mood\u201d revisits America\u2019s \u201cSwing Era\u201d and recreates defining moments from the 1930s and 1940s — from the happy-go-lucky era before WWII to the end of the epic conflict.<\/p>\n

Bud Forrest, who is they producer, artistic director, conductor and pianist of \u201cIn the Mood\u201d began touring this production in 1994.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started with three young ladies doing the songs of the Andrews Sisters,\u201d said Forrest, during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Dallas, Texas. \u201cI added musicians and by 1993, we got invited to perform on the steps of the National Archives in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

\u201cFolks from the USO approached us and soon the show became part of the official entertainment for the World USO\u2019s 50th commemoration of the WW II events. We started travelling in 1994.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our 21st<\/sup>\u00a0year of touring. It\u2019s very unusual for any show to last that long. It evolved over five years to become the show that we have now. The show is more a theatrical presentation than a concert. There are 13 musicians and six singer\/dancers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forrest compiled the greatest music from the swing era into a revue about the big band era and the influence of this music before, during and after the WWII years. The second act is a moving tribute to those who fought in the war and to all of America\u2019s military veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, I go to New York to audition singers and dancers change about 25 per cent of the music,\u201d said Forrest, a Juilliard-trained musician who served as accompanist for the Air Force chorus The Singing Sergeants. \u201cAlex Sanchez is the choreographer. He comes in every year and whips the kids into shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give my audiences the flavor of what it was like in 1940. There is no story but the music is the story. It\u2019s like a variety show from that era. The singers are all in period costumes. The men wear double-breasted blue blazers, cream-colored pants and two-tone spectator shoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe music is very nostalgic — Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Gene Krupa. It\u2019s the music loved by people who lived in that time. The first part of the show is music from before the war. The second is wartime music. The songs may be 70 years old but they are still valid today. We get a lot of different generations at our performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Mood\u201d will be presented at 2 and 7:30 p.m. at the newly-renamed theater in downtown Wilmington. Tickets range from $20-$59.<\/p>\n

Because of increased exposure on television in recent years, people have become familiar with extreme sports — sports with a high level of excitement and an equally high level of inherent danger. There is even the\u00a0Extreme Sports<\/em>\u00a0Channel which focuses on skate, surf, snow, BMX, FMX and mountain bike action.<\/p>\n

\"clown\"<\/a>

Yes, the clowns are still there, but this year’s edition of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is more “Xtreme” as it opens a run at the Wells Fargo Center, Feb. 11.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, the \u2018extreme\u2019 influence has moved into a new arena — the circus arena.<\/p>\n

From February 11-16,\u00a0the Wells Fargo Center\u00a0(Broad Street below Pattison Avenue, Philadelphia,\u00a0800-298-4200,\u00a0www.ComcastTIX.com<\/a>)\u00a0will host \u201cRingling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Circus XTREME.\u201d\u00a0The show, which is the brand new Red Tour\u00a0production,\u00a0is the 145th\u00a0Edition of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.<\/p>\n

\u201cRingling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Circus XTREME\u201d\u00a0<\/i>brings performers who exemplify the \u201cextreme\u201d aspect by with never-before-seen \u201cXTREME\u201d thrills together with traditional circus acts such as exotic animals, clowns and original performances.<\/p>\n

The new edition of the ultra-popular circus features a 300-member cast and crew — including high-wire wizards, powerful strongmen, BMX trick riders, trampoline daredevils, inconceivable contortionists, a high-flying human cannonball and a bungee aerial skydiving display.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started working on it in January 2014,\u201d said Performance Director Michael Schwandt, during a recent phone interview from his home in Los Angeles. \u201cIt was a year in creation. Then, we had a seven-week period in November and December doing full rehearsals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started in one place and ended in another. It was born with this steam punk idea and how we could make it kid-friendly. We realized that steam punk, Jules Verne and other epic ideas would lend themselves to the circus. It\u2019s colorful and there was the whole idea of a journey — a quest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schwandt was not a circus veteran when he accepted the job of creating a radically new show for\u00a0Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.<\/p>\n

He is a graduate of the University of Texas\u2019 Radio, TV and Film Department who has an extensive background in television, commercials, corporate industrials, music videos and live special events. Schwandt has worked with such acts as Katy Perry, John Legend, Train, Sheryl Crow, Trace Adkins and the Beach Boys.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started looking at extreme sports when I was thinking about the circus,\u201d said Schwandt. \u201cI came up with BMX, parkour and slackline.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMX stands for bicycle motocross — a bicycle competition. Slacklining is similar to tightrope walking but different in that the line, while under tension, is not held rigidly taut. The line stretches and gives the person on it the feeling of bouncing on a long and narrow\u00a0trampoline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parkour is a discipline that focuses on moving from one point to another in the most efficient way possible using only the human body and the surroundings for propulsion. It can include running, climbing, swinging, obstacle courses, vaulting, jumping and rolling.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlacklining is very big in Brazil,\u201d said Schwandt. \u201cParkour has this massive popularity among the youth. But, you can\u2019t find it in a show — same with BMX.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got interested in these ideas of extreme and came up with the idea of blending traditional circus elements with these new elements. When I was researching parkour, it was difficult to find because no-one had done this before. Crossing over was something entirely new.<\/p>\n

\u201cBMX and parkour guys are fearless. They just go out in the street and figure it out. For them to have a set with the same footprint every night opens up a whole new world. And, we have a human cannonball presented in an entirely new way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCircus XTREME\u201d\u00a0also features clowns, highwire artists, beautiful Bengal tigers, two-humped camels ridden by brave Mongolian women, impressive horses and magnificent Asian elephants, which are regarded as the most popular members of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clowns are wonderful,\u201d said Schwandt. \u201cI wanted to integrate them to propel the story forward. They are major catalysts for the story. We also have a Mongolian contortionists and a Hungarian group that does trick riding on camels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of elements in this show that are really relevant to the children of today. And, there is an amazing 15-minute finale. Nothing like it has ever been done before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Show attendees can enjoy the \u201cAll Access Pre-Show\u201d free with a ticket purchase. The pre-show, which begins one hour before show time, gives fans the opportunity to meet the cast of performers and get up close to the animals.\u00a0Tickets for the show range from\u00a015-$115.<\/p>\n

\"red-baraat-1\"<\/a>

Red Baraat<\/p><\/div>\n

It is safe to say that there is no other band in America like Red Baraat.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn-based Red Baraat, which plays a show on February 7 at the Ardmore Music Hall (23 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, 610-649-8389,\u00a0www.ardmoremusic.com<\/a>), is a Bhangra band — and a whole lot more. Bhangra is party-style folk music from the Punjab regions of India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Red Baraat\u2019s founder and leader in Sunny Jain, a New York jazz musician of Indian descent whose main instrument is the dhol (a double-headed drum from India).<\/p>\n

\u201cI had been playing drums and tabla before I started playing dhol,\u201d said Jain, during a phone interview last week from his home in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne time when I was in India, I was in a shop buying a tabla. I saw a dhol there and decided to buy one. I took lessons in New York and instantly fell in love with it. It was a great feeling because I wasn\u2019t confined to a drum set. And, with the drum hanging at your gut, the sound resonates through your entire body.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family are Jains from Punjab so I grew up listening to music that had dhol in it. I did a lot of learning how to play it by watching dhol performances on YouTube. I also listened to old recordings — especially Pappa Saen, who was a Sufi dhol player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Red Baraat is an eight-piece band featuring dhol, drumset, percussion, sousaphone and five horns. The band\u2019s influences extend beyond bhangra and include jazz, Latin, funk, brass band and Bollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to play something that was upbeat and joyful,\u201d said Jain, who is a respected drum and percussion player in the New York jazz scene. \u201cIt was just another project of mine — drums and a brass band with no guitar and no electric instruments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted horns, drums and sousaphone. I didn\u2019t want jazz musicians. I didn\u2019t want it to be perceived as a jazz project. I wanted smaller, tighter songs. And, I wanted it to be mobile so we could get down into the audience and play there too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Red Baraat has released five albums. The most recent is \u201cGaadi of Truth,\u201d which was just released in January. \u201cGaadi\u201d literally means \u201ctrain\u201d in Hindi, though it can also mean \u201ccar,\u201d \u201cvehicle\u201d or \u201cjourney.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, it means the journey of truth,\u201d said Jain. \u201cThere are journeys the band has taken us. There are eight of us — all intelligent — and there have been great dialogues. The only absolute truth is that there is no absolute truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusically, we keep expanding the sonic territory. We\u2019re expanding the palate of what this band is. Where we\u2019re headed is opening up more sonic explorations. We play bhangra, Indian jazz, Punjabi music and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at the Ardmore Music Hall will start at 9 p.m. with Kuf Knotz as the opening act. Tickets are $16 in advance and $20 at the door.<\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at the venue are Pink Talking Fish and opener Aqueous on February 6 and Robert Earl Keen with Bonnie Bishop on February 8.<\/p>\n

The 2015 SnoCore Tour, which makes a stop on February 8 at the Chameleon Club (223 North Water Street, Lancaster, 717-299-9684,\u00a0http:\/\/www.chameleonclub.net<\/a>), will feature Flyleaf as the headline act. The bill will also include Adelita\u2019s Way, Framing Hanley and Fit For Rivals.<\/p>\n

\"flyleaf<\/a>

Flyleaf<\/p><\/div>\n

Flyleaf, a metal band from Texas, features Kristen May (vocals), Sameer Bhattacharya (guitar), Jared Hartmann (guitar), Pat Seals (bass) and James Culpepper (drums). The band recently released its fourth album \u201cBetween the Stars.<\/p>\n

The album, which includes the hit single \u201cSet Me On Fire,\u201d reached Number 1\u00a0on\u00a0<\/i>Billboard\u2019s \u201cTop Current Alternative Albums\u201d\u00a0shortly after its release. It was the first Flyleaf album to feature May, who replaced the band\u2019s original vocalist Lacey Sturm.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the lead singer of a band called Verdera,\u201d said May, during a recent phone interview. \u201cThe band broke up and I was hanging out in Kansas City. My booking agent told me that Flyleaf was looking for a new singer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had auditioned about three or four singers that didn\u2019t work out. Prior to my audition, the only Flyleaf songs I knew were \u2018I\u2019m So Sick\u2019 and \u2018All Around Me.\u2019 But, it felt really natural when I got there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting to be in a band again. I was going to do a solo project because I love writing songs. But, they asked me to join Flyleaf so I did. November 2012 was my first show with them. At first, it was going to be a trial. In 2013, they asked me to officially join the band.\u201d<\/p>\n

May had to learn Flyleaf\u2019s back catalogue. Then, she was fully onboard for the recording of the new album.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was involved in all the writing for \u2018Between the Stars\u2019,\u201d said May. \u201cSameer and Pat come in with the songs and we all work on them together. I did \u2018Head Underwater\u2019 and \u2018Sober Serenade.\u2019 Sameer did \u2018City Kids\u2019 and \u2018Platonic.\u201d Pat did \u2018Blue Roses.\u2019 All the rest were total collaborations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a different Flyleaf than the band with Lacey. Certainly, it\u2019s going to change when you replace your singer. I\u2019m not Lacey. But, the core of the music has stayed the same. That\u2019s not something that had to change. On \u2018Between the Stars,\u2019 the music still sounds like Flyleaf — but different.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people say that Flyleaf is a Christian rock band but Flyleaf has never been about fitting into any specific genre. For us, the songs have to stand on their own. We want to make sure the music is hopeful. It\u2019s more about the human condition than being particularly Christian. We want to play music for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Flyleaf takes the stage on the Snocore Tour, there will be music for all the band\u2019s fans — whether they\u2019ve been with the group since its inception in 2002 or if they discovered the band a month ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our current live show, we do seven songs from \u2018Between the Stars\u2019 and we do a little from every previous album,\u201d said May. \u201cWhen we do old songs, it\u2019s a mix of original arrangements and how we sound now. I think it\u2019s still evolving. I have to be true to myself but I also pull from the way they were performed in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Snocore Tour is an all-ages show that is scheduled to get underway at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $20.<\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at the Chameleon Club are Tom Green on February 5 and\u00a0\u00a0the Lancaster Roots and Blues Festival featuring Kelly Bell Band, Eli \u201cPaperboy\u201d Reed, Jay Farrar and DC and Company on February 6 and Nikki Hill, Jeff Thomas\u2019 All Volunteer Army, Dana Fuchs and Popa Chubby on February 7.<\/p>\n

\"paper<\/a>

Paper Diamond<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s \u2018Monsoon Time\u201d for Paper Diamond, one of the bright new names in the world of EDM (electronic dance music).<\/p>\n

From January through March, Paper Diamond will be making it rain on schedule on his national \u201cRain Drops Tour,\u201d an experience that will feature an entirely-custom speaker system by PK Sound along with an innovative stage design by Paper Diamond and his crew.<\/p>\n

Paper Diamond will visit the area for a show on February 7 at District N9ne (460 North Ninth Street, Philadelphia, 215-769-2780,\u00a0http:\/\/districtn9ne.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The man behind Paper Diamond is Alexander Botwin. He performed under his own name when he played bass and produced the band Pnuma Trio and then used the moniker Alex B when he moved on to a solo career as a DJ.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been working on the \u2018Rain Drops\u2019 EP for about a year,\u201d said Botwin, during a phone interview last week from a tour stop in Boone, North Carolina. \u201cI write songs every day — EDM, hip-hop, electronic, rap, guitar — I write all the time. \u2018Rain Drops\u2019 has my favorites from the last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime you release music, you\u2019re married to that music. Six months ago, I decided to do this tour and I picked the artists I wanted to work with. Then, we started making art. We decided how we wanted the show to feel — not only how you hear it but also how you see and feel it. I want people to feel something.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely the largest production rig I\u2019ve ever toured with — bigger and better. We have 72 LCD panels. My visual artist is on tour with me and the art has been made to coincide with the music. It\u2019s a visual state of mind. I grew up with Pink Floyd and I\u2019m doing stuff like that — trying to create the same feeling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just trying to create different feels, vibes and emotions — different for each piece of music. We want to take people on a journey. I want people to have an experience at my show. For me, music is my escape and I want to share that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Botwin\u2019s music has been continually evolving.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been playing music my whole life,\u201d said Botwin. \u201cAfter Pnuma Trio, I went with Alex B for my own enjoyment. Then, Paper Diamond came out of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pretty Lights Music Company offered Paper Diamond a recording contract and Botwin recorded and released the \u201cLevitate\u201d album in 2011. Paper Diamond also has two other EPs — \u201cWavesight\u201d and Paragon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been steady growth since I started Paper Diamond,\u201d said Botwin.<\/p>\n

The show at District N9ne, which starts at 9 p.m., also features Antiserum, Imposter, Lindsay Lowend and Rich Fellow. Tickets are $20.<\/p>\n
