🥘CHEF PALM: The Brown Hotel Welcomes New Executive Chef, Gary Palm
By Mckenna Graham • Photograhy by Matt Johnson

🫑Artist, Business Man, Clairvoyant, Magician: a chef must be a little of all these things to be successful, according to Chef Gary Palm, new executive chef at the iconic Brown Hotel. Chef Palm’s job of keeping the Brown’s historic culinary traditions alive (don’t worry-the Hot Brown stays!) while creating a little curiosity on the menu is met by his thirty years of experience in eight countries.

🏨The hundred-year-old Brown Hotel welcomed Chef Palm at the end of May this year and he has wasted no time reinvigorating the menu at both J. Graham’s Café and The Lobby Bar & Grill. New items to watch out for include a double lamb chop with wild 🍄 mushroom ragout, smoked tomato bisque with braised fennel and New England 🦞 lobster-perhaps a nod to his own Bay State. Lobster dishes can easily become heavy handed and careen towards the cliché, but Palm’s crustacean is anything but-- laid in a pool of clarified butter and adorned with buddha’s hand and verbena🌸petals, its approach is delicate, even ethereal. However, one of the real stand-out dishes is the Red Snapper with creamy Carolina golden rice, cotija cheese and a Thai basil beurre blanc that is so bright and herbaceous it may make diners forget their manners and lick the plate.

🎶 INSIDE COMPOSER DANIEL GILLIAM'S SUITE FOR TEN INSTRUMENTS 🎶
📝 By Bill Doolittle • 📸 Photos by Matt Johnson

📕Read the Full Article by going to www.VOICE-TRIBUNE.com or by going to the link in our BIO📕

🌿 Composers often warn us not to imagine music as a story or a picture. But when listening to Daniel Gilliam’s Suite for Ten Instruments, it’s hard not to feel a connection to nature—like seeds sprouting or rain creating tiny rivulets.

🎻 Premiered by the NouLou Chamber Players at Oxmoor Farm, Gilliam’s suite flows softly, allowing each instrument to tell its own part of the story.

💬 Gilliam says, "I don't typically write music from a non-musical perspective first. The music came first." Yet, the natural world somehow finds its way into his compositions. 🌳

👥 This piece, created specifically for ten instruments, showcases the core members of the NouLou Chamber Players. Expect to hear unique duets, trios, and beautiful blends of sound as the musicians interact.

🎼 The suite features everything from tranquil string drops to exciting glissandos—a musical journey you won’t want to miss.

🎧 Stay tuned for another performance this season and a professional recording! 🎙️

✨ LUXURY FOR ALL AT JMICHAEL'S SPA & SALON ✨
By VOICE-TRIBUNE • 📸 Photos by Matt Johnson

“Our vision for J Michael’s was always ‘comfortable luxury’. I want our guests to feel like they’re having a luxurious experience, but I want that experience to be available to all,” says owner Jill Higginbotham. “I asked a cross-section of individuals, ‘what don’t you like about what you’d consider an upscale or luxurious salon?’ and many said ‘I don’t feel comfortable, I don’t feel like I belong.’ We strive to treat our guests like family, which is also shown in how close our team is. We want everyone who walks in to feel comfortable—to become a part of our family.”

🎶 THE MONARCH, MUSIC & ARTS COMMUNITY: WHERE CREATIVES, ARTISTS, AND MUSICIANS FIND EACH OTHER AND FIND THEMSELVES
🎉Monarch's 2nd year Anniversary! 🎉

🖊️ By Alisha Proffitt
📸 Photos by Kathryn Harrington

In 2018 when Mark was searching for a new direction, he came across a documentary that deeply inspired him. “I watched this documentary called Echo in the Canyon(2018), it had a profound impact on me. It’s a Jakob Dylan documentary about Laurel Canyon California in the late 60’s and it talks about all of the artists that came out of there at the same time, and that’s what blew me away. And it was like, The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Mamas and The Papas, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Crosby, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt and Tom Petty and just on and on and on. All of these pioneers and luminaries in that industry in the same place at the same time. And as I listened to all these stories and interviews, I started researching a bit and what I found is that, it happened because they were a community.

🏆 ELMER LUCILLE ALLEN INDUCTED INTO THE KENTUCKY BOURBON HALL OF FAME 🥃
✍️ By Dr. Randy Whetstone, Jr. • 📷 Photography by Kathryn Harrington

Elmer Lucille Allen was recently featured in the 📰 Women and Business issue of the Voice Tribune. To no surprise, Allen has reached a new milestone in the Commonwealth. She is among five new members being inducted into the 🥃 Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame in September.

Having endured one of the most strenuous job markets for African Americans and women in the 20th century, Elmer Lucille trailblazed her way as the 🧪 first Black chemist to work at Brown-Forman. Her work and presence in the workforce have dismantled stigmas, now providing opportunities for more diverse personnel. Years later, her induction into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame is a result of the broken barriers she created as an African American whiskey chemist and a pioneering woman in the Bourbon industry.

“As an artist, it’s not only what we create. It’s a way of moving through the world. What you notice, where your eyes fall. So, I am in an ever-present artistic mood, for sure. Which is a romantic mood.” Ehrlich said, poetically.

Juliet Ehrlich’s artistic journey has been a fascinating evolution. In the capacity of Architectural Colorist, Juliet worked on several rooms for Mrs. Paula and Frank Harshaw of Louisville who have raved “When Juliet worked her magic, the artwork was highlighted and the rooms transformed”. Recognized for her prowess as a painter and sculptor, she has now expanded that role to include restoration and conservation. This endeavor signifies her dedication to preserving and repairing antique and contemporary ceramic objects. Art appreciation was a passion ingrained in her since her earliest memories.

🕊️Carla Sue Allgeier Broecker🕊️
Thursday, August 15, 2024
Sep 18th 1938- Aug 9th 2024

We lost one of the legends that made the VOICE-TRIBUNE the incredible publication it is today. Our staff is deeply saddened by her passing but also incredibly inspired by Carla Sue's life and ambition to help everyone around her. We plan to celebrate her life in the upcoming volume of the VOICE-TRIBUNE.

🌟Visitation for Carla Sue🌟
4:00 PM - 7:00 PM EDT
Pearson's
149 Breckenridge Lane, Louisville KY

Carla Sue Allgeier Broecker passed peacefully at her lifelong home, Running Water Farm in Louisville, on Friday morning, August 9th. Carla Sue was born on September 18, 1938, just missing her 86th birthday and their trip to Barcelona.

Carla Sue wrote the “Party Line” column for The Voice Newspaper for nearly 50 years. Her first article was published when she was 10. She relished covering all the parties and having the inside scoop. She was passionate about “her” city and served on many Boards including the Louisville Deaf Oral School, the Salvation Army, Memorial Auditorium, Kosair Hospital, The Fillies, the Kentucky Derby Festival, Daughter’s of the American Revolution and the Woman’s Club, to name a few. Carla Sue and Joann Gammon opened and managed Fabulous Finds, a resale shop that benefitted the Louisville Deaf Oral School (Heuser Hearing & Language Academy) for more than twenty years, raising several million dollars. In 2018, Carla Sue and Brad were recognized as Philanthropists of the Year.

Carla Sue and Brad, her husband of 62 years, traveled the world, leaving no continent untouched or un-shopped. She was a collector extraordinaire. He was her knight in shining armor and together, they led an amazing life. Carla Sue is pre-deceased by her parents Irene and Carl Allgeier and her daughter Amy. She is survived by her husband Bradley, her daughter Leslie and her wife Marty Bybee, her grandchildren, Christopher and Caroline Kessler and their father Herman Kessler III, sisters-in-law Lynne Anderson and Linda Broecker, the best nieces and nephews and so many amazing friends.

Carla Sue was once asked, “If heaven exists, what would you like God to say when you arrive at the pearly gates? She replied, “Actually, I’d rather be the one to ask him a question. I’d say, “Where is everyone? Where’s the party?”🎉

Visitation will be held 4pm-7pm Thursday, August 15 at Pearson’s, 149 Breckenridge Lane. Private funeral at a later date. The family requests no flowers and that expressions of sympathy be directed to the Heuser Hearing & Language Academy, 111 E. Kentucky Street, Louisville KY 40203.

Arrangements under the direction of Pearson's, "Where Louisville Goes to Remember".
