Still Alice - Presented by Salida Theater Project
2025-06-22 15:00 - 17:30 | A Church, 419 D street, Salida, 81201
Alice Howland has a thriving career, a loving family—and a life that suddenly begins to shift.
As memory fades and the ground moves beneath her, Alice and her inner voice, Herself, hold on to what matters most. While those around her struggle to understand, she meets each change with resilience, flashes of humor, and resolute strength.
Still Alice is a powerful story about identity, change, and connection in the face of Alzheimer’s. It asks: how long are we still ourselves—and who decides? In the end, as the past and future grow dim, Alice and Herself turn fully to the present—because in the end, it’s very simple: this moment—right here—is enough.
Directed by Jan Justis and featuring a cast of actors from Salida and BV.
After the Sunday matinee performance, join us for a community conversation about Alzheimer’s, caregiving, and the themes explored in the play. Sunday attendees are welcome to stay for the panel, and those who attended on Friday or Saturday are invited to return and take part in the discussion.
Our panel includes:
• Samar Fay – Salida resident whose spouse is living with Alzheimer’s
• Mary McConathy, RN – whose late husband lived with Alzheimer’s
• Dr. Yvonne Rollins, MD – Board Certified Neurologist, Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center
• Kirsten Wulfsberg, LPC – Behavioral Health Regional Specialist

SLACKERS AT THE STEAMPLANT PARTY featuring PAVEMENTS!
2025-07-25 18:30 - 22:15 | Salida SteamPlant
SLACKERS AT THE STEAMPLANT PARTY featuring PAVEMENTS!
Friday, July 25 at 6:30pm
Save the date and join us at the SteamPlant as Salida Arts and Culture presents a SLACKERS AT THE STEAMPLANT evening as we screen the revolutionary biopic PAVEMENTS about “the American indie band Pavement, which combines scripts with documentary images of the band and a musical mise-en-scene composed of songs from their discography.” Written and directed by Alex Ross Parry.

Synopsis:
An examination of the iconic 90s indie band, “Pavements” appears to be just another music documentary, until it doesn’t. A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation. Anchored by Pavement’s slacker-sage-sphinx Stephen Malkmus, the film features performances by Joe Keery, Jason Schwartzman, Tim Heidecker, Kathryn Gallagher, Michael Esper, and Zoe Lister-Jones, as well as editing by nonfiction innovator Robert Greene (Procession). Unrated. 128 minutes.

“I think they (Pavement) are the most fascinating text you can study if you want to study every single question about music in the 1990s,” Alex Ross Parry, New York Times article with David Renard, May 18, 2025

SLACKERS AT THE STEAMPLANT:

Dress like a forgotten generation. 90’s fits like underground T’s and punk encouraged, grunge tolerated. Take your shot at 90’s indie rock music trivia as you find your spot. Sit back in cushy seats like you just turned 50 and enjoy the screening. Then after the film, stay for the Slacker Party on the SteamPlant Plaza with 90’s underground mixes by DJ Mike the Science Guy, a Teenage Dirtbag slideshow featuring cameos by willing Salida Gen Xers, and cynical snacks for all you latch key kids. Cash bar and realistic expectations available.

Event: PAVEMENTS Documentary + Slackers at the SteamPlant Party
Date: Friday, July 25
Doors at 6:00pm
90’s indie Trivia at 6:30pm
Film at 7:00pm- 9:08pm

A collaborative triple bill featuring Western Slope sirens Gabrielle Louise, Caitlin Cannon, and Emily Scott Robinson. Expect crafty songwriting, spellbinding storytelling, and some seriously witchy harmonies.
Gabrielle, Caitlin and Emily have the Telluride Bluegrass Troubadour Contest to thank for their introduction. They connected via competing there on various years, where they all placed – Emily Scott Robinson taking first in 2019, and Gabrielle Louise and Caitlin Cannon taking 2nd and 3rd, respectively, in 2023. Come hear their award-winning compositions, this time with the addition of their three-part harmonies supporting each other’s material.
This group of women has in common that they each take songcraft very seriously, and their work presents with a rare focus and clarity of content. Musically speaking, they occupy complimentary corners. Emily can bring you down a country road on one number, then on the next Gabrielle will evoke a low-lit speakeasy or Caitlin will suddenly pull open the curtain on a comedy club. No destination is off limits.

MODERN AMERICANA
Some things are just meant to last. When Sarah Anderson and Paul DeHaven met and began playing together in 2004, they had no idea just how deep the well of their musical partnership would prove to be. After the disbanding of indie-folk sweethearts Paper Bird, the duo founded Heavy Diamond Ring and never looked back. HDR is the culmination (thus far) of their signature sound, a fountain of open-hearted, folk-rock, steeped in vocal harmony and group synergy. Led by Anderson’s smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven’s rugged guitar chops, the band has been described as “open-road, long drive music”, having “a little bit of twang, and a whole lot of beef”, and their live show as “infectious and contagious”. The band is rounded out by veteran knockouts Blake Stepan (bass), Mike Lang (keys), and Orion Tate Ignelzi (drums). Their second full-length LP, “All Out of Angels”, out this fall, was produced by Ben Wysocki (the Fray) and Mark Anderson and features a duet with Nathaniel Rateliff. Out now on Cowboy Cowabunga Recordings.
“Heavy Diamond Ring creates a sound that feels as classic as rolling down the windows in the summer – a super highway to a new frontier.” -303 Magazine
“…a helping of contemporary indie-folk that goes down easy, augmented by some subtle, snaky guitar work, walls of harmony vocals and Anderson’s attention-grabbing vocals.” -CS Indy

Beloved New Mexican Singer-Songwriter!
Founder and Host of the Big Barn Dance Music Festival!
In addition to his extensive solo catalog, he’s also recorded and toured as a duo act with Shake Russell, and for the last two decades has hosted his own Big Barn Dance Music Festival in his beloved adopted hometown of Taos, New Mexico!
Michael Hearne’s destiny has been tangled in wire and wood since he first laid his hands on a guitar at the age of seven. With a natural ear for harmony and an aptitude for picking, it wasn’t long before a young Michael Hearne was a fixture at parties and local events in his childhood hometown of Dallas. By the age of sixteen he had honed his skills on the guitar and, without a doubt in his mind about his destiny, he hit the road as a touring musician. Michael’s career over the next few decades would take him across the southwest and beyond. Calling the mountains of northern New Mexico home for many years, Michael shared his talents as a singer, songwriter, and picker in bars, listening rooms and dance halls throughout the region. In the 1980’s, he toured as a member of Michael Martin Murphey’s band, recording on Murphey’s 1982 self-titled album for Liberty Records. Hearne has penned songs for Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary P. Nunn (“Lesson to be Learned from Love”) and his New Mexico anthem, “New Mexico Rain,” was recorded by country music legend Johnny Rodriguez as well as by his uncle and aunt, Bill and Bonnie Hearne. Michael has also co-written with Mentor Williams, Andy Byrd, Shake Russell, Keith Sykes, and many others. After hosting years of informal barn dances, Michael officially began his Big Barn Dance Music Festival in Taos in 2003.

Mandolinist Matt Flinner, guitarist Ross Martin and bassist Eric Thorin cover a wide variety of musical styles—all with the common ground of American roots music. Bluegrass, jazz and old-time music are all present here in their ways, along with a dose of classical chamber music composition and arrangement, as the members all draw from their wide array of musical loves, experiences and influences. These influences boil down into the trio’s own organic sound of New Acoustic music, or Modern String Band music, or Chamber Grass (music is getting harder and harder to label these days, isn’t it?). Whatever label you put on it, it is guaranteed to be fresh and original, and definitely something you’ve never quite heard before.
