Walter Martin (of The Walkmen) Releases New Song ME & MCALEVEY, New Album Out 2/16
Walter Martin (co-writer/multi-instrumentalist of The Walkmen) will release his new album Reminisce Bar & Grill on February 16th via Ile Flottante Music. His fourth solo record since The Walkmen's hiatus in 2013, it's one that might throw fans of his two award winning kids' records (2014's We're All Young Together and last year's My Kinda Music) for a loop. Listeners will still recognize the same affable narrator and quirky musical style, but here the subject matter is shifted dramatically. With frankness, poignancy and humor, Martin, now a 43-year-old married man with two young children, squarely tackles the subject of adulthood - specifically, his own.

BWW Review: NEXT FALL at Chapel Off Chapel
Geoffrey Nauffts highly-acclaimed Next Fall is something of a theatrical success story, with the original 2009 production receiving critical praise, an extended Broadway season and a Tony-Award nomination. The play follows the five-year relationship of unlikely couple Adam - a frustrated and neurotic forty-year-old writer and atheist - and Luke, a 20-something year old devout Christian who cannot come out to his parents. Their history is revealed through flashbacks, while in the present Luke fights for life in hospital after an accident and family and friends gather to hold vigil. Perhaps a victim of the reputation that precedes it, this production is only intermittently moving and ultimately it is hard to see what all the fuss is about.
Barilla Foundation Launches Second Edition of EATING PLANET
NORTHBROOK, Ill., Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ Most people think that the biggest single impact on the environment is the cars they drive, or the energy they use to warm their homes. In fact, it's what they eat. If we look at greenhouse gases emissions, food production is the main contributor to climate change, with 31 percent of the total, surpassing home heating (24 percent) and transportation (18 percent). 1 Particularly relevant is the consumption of meat, responsible for 12.4 percent of total emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture have doubled since 1960. Our food choices therefore have a key role in the preservation of our planet.
