Get Shorty is a 1995 movie based on Elmore Leonard’s novel of the same name, starring John Travolta as a mobster turned movie producer…And not to be confused with Trombone Shorty, the 38-year-old jazz horn player bringing New Orleans-style jazz to Napa next week — though it would make for a helluva reboot. Think jazz by way of Sideways, in which a touring trombone virtuoso gets caught up in Napa’s cut-throat wine industry only to find that his talents with brass translate to the glass. Call it Slideways. https://bohemian.com/new-orleans-in-napa-with-trombone-shorty/

It’s Autumn-ish—the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, as Keats would have it. But then, he never had to have it at a near-constant 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Nor did he have to endure the looming specter of pumpkin-spiced everything insinuating itself onto his calorie-counting app. Fall is not what it used to be—from climate to commercialism—but there’s a cornucopia of creativity en route to redeeming the moment, dutifully forecasted in our annual Fall Arts edition. https://bohemian.com/autumn-arts/

It’s 10 pm, do you know where your local horror director is? Don’t worry—we know where he is! He’s in Petaluma and his name is Mitchell Altieri. No stranger to the genre, Altieri has long enjoyed cinematic infamy as part of the filmmaking duo, “The Butcher Brothers,” and now the team offers filmgoers something new to chew on—Consumed, starring cult film icon Devon Sawa (Final Destination). https://bohemian.com/petaluma-director-mitchell-altieris-new-film-is-consumed/

Sonoma County’s Laceration gives new meaning to the phrase “deap cut.” Yes, they’re a band but not just any band, they’re a death metal band who’e Encyclopedia Metallum entry lists their themes as “Reality, Ignorance, Torment, Death, Fear” — the five basic ingredients most writer’s psyches, which explains the resonance our music contributor Eddie Jorgensen experienced for the band’s latest release. https://bohemian.com/lacerations-latest-is-a-cut-above/

A new subculture has been quietly brewing worldwide for the past 15 years, and it’s arrived in a town nearby. Its adherents, known as wastelanders, ascribe to a creative aesthetic primarily influenced by the post-apocalyptic Mad Max film franchise, and their scene is unofficially known as the wasteland scene.

Bull kelp forests were once a common sight along beaches all across Marin and Sonoma counties. But over the last decade, they have been almost entirely wiped out from the West Coast, only surviving in small pockets between Santa Barbara and Alaska. In Marin and Sonoma, their numbers have been wiped out by nearly 90%. A combo of local and federal groups hope to change that. https://bohemian.com/groups-unite-to-replant-sonoma-coast-kelp-forest/

Remember when we perceived reality through the visceral experience of bodies and senses? Yep. It’s difficult to recall when our experiences weren’t mitigated by a screen, our decisions anticipated by an algorithm, or the veritable alphabet soup of AI to VR wasn’t conspiring to drown our self-conception as humans. Now imagine an evening that awakens the senses through the synergy of art, nature, and (wait for it)... gourmet cuisine. Too much to ask? This is the promise of VISCERĀLIS, the latest offering from JAD Experience, an event series
hosted at Tara Firma Farms in Petaluma over two weekends and this week’s cover story. https://bohemian.com/back-to-reality-visceralis-comes-to-petaluma/
