Reel Rock 19 showcases three world-premiere climbing films spanning disciplines, characters, and continents: a heartfelt story of second chances in love and climbing on Squamish’s legendary Cobra Crack; an outrageous 18-day big wall epic on Patagonia’s towering Torre Central; and the pursuit of a lifelong dream—a 5.15 first ascent—made possible by an unlikely partnership.

DEATH OF VILLAINS: A former child climbing-prodigy confronts his struggle with disordered eating to attempt his life-long dream of climbing a groundbreaking 5.15 first ascent, with the help of an unlikely, and controversial partner.

Featuring: Kai Lightner & Joe Kinder

RIDERS ON THE STORM: Three Belgian big-wallers endure eighteen days of howling snowstorms, frozen feet, and gnarly runouts in their attempt to make a long-coveted alpine first ascent.

Featuring: Siebe Vanhee, Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll & Nico Favresse

THE COBRA & THE HEART: A turbulent 20-year saga of love, loss, and redemption: a whirlwind romance, a crushing defeat on a legendary climb, a religious epiphany, and family betrayal, all building to a desperate bid for a rare second chance—at love, fatherhood, and climbing.

KTAL-LP to host album release party for Tudury

KTAL-LP 101.5 FM, Las Cruces community radio, is sponsoring an album release party for local musician and longtime radio host Teresa Tudury, starting 7 p.m. Friday, June 6 at the Rio Grande Theatre. It will celebrate her new album, “Perhaps You’ve Heard of Me.”

Tickets for the concert are $25 including a copy of the new album and $15 without. Tickets will go on sale later this month through the Rio Grande Theatre at https://www.riograndetheatre.org/.

The album was recorded at Clarksdale Sound Stage in Clarksdale, Mississippi. It was produced by Tudury, Gary Vincent and Henrietta Musselwhite, the wife of legendary blues harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite, who plays on two songs.

Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Rickie Lee Jones also performs on the album. Jones and Tudury sing a playful duet on the song “Cowgirls.” Jones and Charlie Musselwhite both play on the song “Magdalena,” which also includes local musician and former KTAL-LP host Doug Adamz on violin.

As with her prior albums, Tudury is not afraid to comment on current affairs. In the song “Horrible People,” she asks:

“Where did all these horrible people come from;

What sperm bank did they rob to get the strain;

That led to this dreadful mutation;

Of heartless humans born without a brain.”

This was Tudury’s sixth album. Previous albums by her include “West of Paradise” in 2015, “Love Letters” in 2011. “Such Fine Things” in 2009, “River of Life” in 2002 and “Teresa Tudury” in 1992.

Tudury will perform all 12 songs on the album during the June 6 concert, and will tell stories about the songs and the people who she wrote and performed them with. That was pretty much the premise of her radio show.

Her show, ”Live From the Doublewide” debuted on KTAL-LP in 2019 and featured songs by artists who Tudury has known and performed with during her career. Along with Jones and Musselwhite, that list includes Leonard Cohen, Ritchie Havens, Lyle Lovett, Taj Mahal, Leo Kotke and Bonnie Bramlett.

Tudury started writing songs when she was just 12 years old, and was performing in San Francisco nightclubs by the time she was 15.

As is evident from the lyrics quoted above, Tudury’s songs combine beautiful melodies with sharp-witted observations. Her voice is described by “LA Weekly” as a cross between Bette Midler and Bonnie Raitt, and a perfect fit for her bluesy guitar style.
