AFTER- NOON ‘Journeyman’ Eric Clapton tribute plays at the Paramount Friday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m.—RUTLAND—The only nationally touring tribute to Eric Clapton, “Journeyman,” comes to the Paramount Theatre. Fronted by Shaun Hague, “Journeyman” has become the No. 1 tribute to Clapton in a very short amount of time. Shaun Hague has built quite the resume in the last decade of his life. At just 17, he was named The Best Young Blues Guitarist by The House of Blues and by 21, he was playing guitar for blues phenomenon Kenny Wayne Shepherd. His career has also seen him sharing the stage with Amos Lee, John Waite, Terra Naomi, performing on Jay Leno’s show and sitting in with John Fogerty. In honor of his biggest musical influence, Hague has been making waves with his “Journeyman – A Tribute to Eric Clapton.” The show features Robert Monroe (keys/vocals), Darius Peterson (drums) and Laura Lopardo (backing vocals.) Together, they provide a powerful performance of all aspects of Clapton’s career from “Bluesbreakers” to “From The Cradle!” The band has been selling hundreds of tickets per night in the Midwest, New England and West Coast. With over 50 years of music to choose from, “Journeyman” covers it all. Tickets are $39. The Paramount Theatre is located at 30 Center St. in Rutland For more information visit paramountvt.org. The Four Tops brings Motown to the Paramount Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m.—RUTLAND—The quartet, originally called the Four Aims, made their first single for Chess in 1956, and spent seven years on the road and in nightclubs, singing pop, blues, Broadway, but mostly four-part harmony jazz. When Motown’s Berry Gordy Jr. found out they had hustled a national “Tonight Show” appearance, he signed them without an audition to be the marquee act for the company’s Workshop Jazz label. That proved short lived, and Stubbs’ powerhouse baritone lead and the exquisite harmonies of Fakir, Benson, and Payton started making one smash after another with the writing-producing trio Holland- Dozier-Holland. In 1990, with 24 Top 40 pop hits to their credit, the Four Tops were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Though they would no longer have hits on records, the group continued to be a hit in concert, touring incessantly, a towering testament to the enduring legacy of the Motown Sound they helped shape and define. Following Payton’s death in 1997, the group briefly worked as a trio until Theo Peoples, a former Temptation, was recruited to restore the group to a quartet. When Stubbs subsequently grew ill, Peoples became the lead singer and former Motown artist-producer Ronnie McNeir was enlisted to fill Payton’s spot. In 2005, when Benson died, Payton’s son Roquel replaced him. “They were the best in my neighborhood in Detroit when I was growing up (and) the Four Tops will always be one of the biggest and the best groups ever. Their music is forever, ” Smokey Robinson remembered in Rolling Stone’s 2004 article ,“The Immortals – The Greatest Artists of All Time.” Tickets are $49 – $69 and available at Paramountvt.org. The Paramount Theatre is located at 30 Center St. in Rutland.
The Mountain Times • Nov. 20-26, 2019 LIVING ADE • 21 VINS hosts bird feeding 101: A how-to workshop Saturday, Nov. 23 at 10 a.m.—QUECHEE—Three billion. That is the estimated number of individual birds lost in North America since 1970, according to a study published last month in Science Magazine. While it is not clear exactly why our ecosystems are less able to support birdlife, there are many simple steps individuals can take to improve the world for birds right in their own backyard. Feeding birds and creating a bird-friendly habitat is a great way to help wildlife and attract color and life to any yard during winter. But how does one get started, what is the best type of food and how do you identify backyard visitors? Come learn from the experts at VINS. Whether you are a first-time feeder or have been doing it for some time and want to learn more, VINS staff will introduce you to the birds you can expect to visit your feeders, explain what types of feeders and feed are best and show you how to turn your yard into a bird-friendly habitat. Additionally, learn how you can become a part of the global citizen science effort, Project FeederWatch. The observations submitted by Project FeederWatch participants – ordinary volunteers who enjoy watching birds at their feeders each winter, are used by researchers to track bird populations around the country and the world. Afterwards, shop our bird-friendly products at the VINS Nature Store and receive a 10% discount on all bird feeding items including feeders, field guides and window deterrents. Together we can turn this dire trend around by helping local wildlife. For more information check out 3billionbirds.org, and learn how to take a few simple actions to help birds thrive. Please arrive by 9:45 a.m. The workshop is is included with general admission and free for VINS members. For more information, contact VINS at 802-359-5000.

By Toni Herkalo-Koch, courtesy of Audubon photography awards Youth protest: Vermont youth lobby congress to take action on climate change, lead the nation > from page 8 take, and demand that the Vermont state government do everything in its power to protect the future of our state and everything in it. Given the stakes, it is reasonable and rational to expect that Vermont’s government would understand the importance of moving this state toward carbon neutrality with urgency as well as care and attention to all people. However, this is not happening. People in power are well aware of the science which clearly states that humans are the cause of the climate crisis, they know that if the Earth’s temperature climbs past 1.5 °C there will be irreparable damage, they know that there are only twelve years left to change the future of our world, but even with all of this information they do not treat the climate crisis as it needs to be treated. They feel no urgency when talking about it, there is no sudden push for big change, instead they continue to go about their lives as they had before with climate change being just another issue. But is is not just one issue- it is the biggest issue in the world and it needs to start being treated like it. However there is still hope, which is why we are fighting so hard for our state government Young Vermonters have rallied, to hear our demands. As young people, we camped, marched and protested for are the ones with the climate action. No one is too small to most to gain if Vermont leads the transition to a make a difference, and that includes cleaner, more equitable our brave little state of Vermont. and prosperous future. We stay hopeful and motivated by our friends and fellow students who, in just the last year, have gone on climate strike by the thousands, marched from Middlebury to Montpelier, urged action through song in State House foyer, testified in committees and risked arrest – all in the name of getting adults to protect our futures. Young Vermonters have rallied, camped, marched and protested for climate action. No one is too small to make a difference, and that includes our brave little state of Vermont.
