Hidden Gems�e downtown Arts District’s Rendon Ho-tel has seen a lot, and honestly it could use a makeover. But in the meantime, this landmark bohemian dive has become a perfect venue for immersive installation and performance art — and now, a gallery space. �e Rendon Gallery’s mission is to sustain the art world of the neighborhood its owners know and love, supporting artists whose work o�en exists out-side the mainstream art market. �is weekend they host their inaugural exhibition, “Blend,” a collaborative two-day pop-up organized by artist Kelcey Fisher, aka KFiSH, in collabo-ration with a dozen artists including Davia King, Colette Miller, Moncho 1929 and Ralph Ziman, several of whom have participated in previous Art at the Rendon shenanigans. �e Rendon Gallery, 2055 E.

Fashion Is ReligionTim Gunn will not be helping anyone “make it work” at Project Nunway L.A., but judg-ing from the fabulous L.A. �gures involved with this event, no one will need help. �e Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and their �amboyant admirers always make it “werk,” honey. A�er a three-year hiatus, the group (known for haute habits, wild makeup, glamorous garb and mission to “expiate stig-matic guilt and promulgate universal joy for the population of Greater Los Angeles and the world beyond”) brings back their local designer competition and fashion show. Hosted by nightlife duo/TV sensations �e Boulet Brothers, the challenge revolves around a theme — this one is “Cirque des Soeurs” (Circus of Sisters). Participants will create over-the-top and avant-garde designs �t for the bigtop, and special guests will perform. �ere will be pre- and a�erparties but the run-way competition is the main event. �e Sisters say the boundaries of fashion will be stretched into surrealistic looks, and there will surely be nods to both three-ring-circus aesthetics and the irreverent religious iconography this arty group is worshiped for. Sponsored by AIDS/Lifecycle, the event will bene�t Alliance for Housing & Healing. Vertigo Event Venue, 400 W.

The 45-Year ChallengeAny visit to the gallery space inside Eastside artisanal printmaking emporium Mixogra�a is already a treat. But when it hosts a recep-tion for one of its de�ly curated exhibitions thematically mining its decades-old archive, then it’s a party, too. “Phases” features work by 20 artists who have collaborated with the Mix-ogra�a studio family over the past 45 years, all centered around the theme of self-portraiture. From pop art masters like John Baldessari to surrealist icons like Leonora Carrington and contemporary phenoms like Alex Israel, it’s an all-star cast, many exhibiting works that have not been shown since they were �rst made. Mixogra�a, 1419 E. Adams Blvd., Central-Al-ameda; opening reception Sat., Jan. 26, 4-6 p.m.; on view thru March 9, Tue.-Fri., 10 a.m.-5 p.m., & Sat., 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; free. mixogra�a.com. —SHANA NYS DAMBROT

Dust O� Your LightsaberDriving out to O.C. or San Diego in space helmets, cumbersome superhero garb and sweaty monster gear is not fun for most in the L.A. cosplay community, so the Pasadena Comic Convention & Toy Show surely o�ers a welcome nearby convergence. Comics, toys, art and more will be celebrated, displayed and sold by more than 75 vendors, and there will be industry and celebrity guests including Bruce Boxleitner (of Disney’s TRON and the TV series Babylon 5). Many more will be on hand, including actors from She-Ra, Power Rangers, TV series X-Men: Evolution and the classic War of the Worlds �e annual event generates almost as much fanfare in the area as the Tour-nament of Roses — and maybe even more eye candy. Prepare for a di�erent kind of parade and photo opps inside the venue, outside and all around Pasadena. Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E.

Participating eateries run the gamut from Asian fusion to more traditional Japanese, Korean and �ai establishments to Italian, Peruvian and Indian eateries. Among the dishes you’ll be able to choose from are Hainan free-range chicken from Panasia Sweet & Savory and pappardelle short rib ragu at Vino’s Back Alley.

A New AdventureComposer Juan J. Colomer’s new work Dul-cinea XL, a curious modern operatic update of Miguel de Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote, poses the musical question “if, in these times, it may be more honest to remain crazy and lonely than to be normal by common stan-dards?” Exploring themes of “self-accep-tance, karma, mistaken identity, body im-age and honor,” the opera receives its world premiere tonight in a semi-staged concert performance that features Xavier Prado as “D. Quixote,” Milena Gligić as Sancho and Melissa Treinkman as Dulcinea, with Ignazio Terrasi conducting the L.A. Grand Ensem-ble. Colburn School of Music, Zipper Concert Hall, 200 S.

Founded in 1901, the event has grown ex-ponentially in size and scope, showcasing musical instruments, pro audio gear, event tech equipment and so much more for an estimated 115,000 attendees. �e excite-ment, energy and buzz of business deal-ings and connections being made there is palpable. Moreover, the convention, which is o�cially a trade and industry event, has become a hot ticket for musicians of all lev-els and the public (if they can get in) to nerd out at its roster of rock-star signings and its gear brands’ epic booth setups showcasing their latest and greatest products.

Manufactured pop’s dominance on the charts, the proliferation of streaming ser-vices, YouTube culture and social media all

have contributed to the struggles of the music business, both in terms of consumption and creation. But NAMM’s growth over the years and its continued success seems to suggest that the desire to make music is both resolute and resilient no matter what.

Being around others who feel the same passion for music can be life-a�rming, no matter how little viability there may be in it professionally. And while songwriting, per-forming, producing and simple artistry as a livelihood is more challenging than ever, there is clearly still a lot of money to be made in providing the tools needed for all of it. In many ways the music industry is a micro-cosm for the economy as a whole, with only a lucky few �nding fame or major �nancial success. But the dream will never die, and gatherings like NAMM are what keep it alive.

�anks to convention culture, nerdy niches and insider meetups have opened up to the mainstream, transcending their trade-driven roots to become attraction-driven destina-tions with public appeal. NAMM might be

the biggest example of this shi�, even more than Comic-Con, which also takes place at the Anaheim Convention Center. Fanfare still drives buyers and elevates brands, a�er all.

“Everything is under one roof. Everything that you could possibly want. Period,” says music store king Sam “Sammy” Ash, who has been going to NAMM since he was a teen, learning the family business — started in 1924 by his musician grandfather, the original Samuel Ash — and eventually tak-ing the helm at one of the most successful music stores in the country. “Any question you might have, any new product you might want to see, any person you might want to talk to. It’s all in one place at one time and it’s really pretty spectacular. Manufacturers only bring out their best, and for a retailer like me, it’s great. I have a blast.”

Having Ash and his buyers visit your booth, or reps from giants like Guitar Cen-ter, is the goal for many who showcase at NAMM, and attention from these biggies can make or break a new company. Ash, whose store celebrates its 95th anniversary this year, already has relationships with all the best-known companies, but he says discovery will always drive his time at NAMM. “So I focus on mainly guitars. �at’s my passion, and when I go home, I’m still more plugged into that part of the business,” he says. “�ere’s no way I can focus on all that’s taking place at the NAMM show, so I have buyers helping. Hopefully we come home with at least one new exclusive line I can add to our catalog.”

Like many conventions, the frenzy, activity and colorful sights that beckon on the con-vention �oor at NAMM can be overwhelm-ing. Add to this the sheer volume of various sounds being made by people trying out the

instruments and electronics, and it’s down-right chaotic. Most seem to get o� on the vociferous and visceral atmosphere, though. Meet-and-greets are scheduled throughout the four days with lines snaking around cer-tain booths as people wait to meet a given company’s sponsored big name, which can include everyone from the dazzling Bootsy Collins (a recurring presence at NAMM) to Jackson Browne (honored with an award by NAMM last year).

Last year the show was bigger than ever, utilizing a new wing, ACC North, that of-fered 200,000 square feet of additional space.

Collins, Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler, Iron Maiden’s Nicko McBrain, Duane Eddy and Mis�ts’ Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein are just a few of the stars who did signings and drew big crowds last year. �e latter caused a creepster commotion inside one of NAMM’s most popular booths, that of the L.A.-based company Co�n Case, who makes coffin-shaped guitar storage and goth-y music accessories. Owner Jonny Co�n has had a presence at NAMM since 1999, when he �rst took a chance at showing his then-custom wares.

“Like a lot of small startup companies there, you’re hoping to �nd buyers and �nd stores that are interested in your product,” Co�n explains. “�at’s kind of the No. 1 thing because you’re trying to launch a prod-uct. �at is really why you’re there. But part of that business is also meeting musicians and getting the word out. It’s marketing.”

Another aspect of that marketing is throw-ing events outside of the convention halls — parties and shows that o�er everyone a good time and help build relationships with the people who matter in the industry while showing a company’s products in

action. For Co� n Case, this entailed thinking outside the box, so to speak.

Co� n is credited with � rst bringing fash-ion to NAMM with his a� er-show events at the Hilton, including annual runway shows with the brand’s Co� n Girls modeling their accessories and performances by heavy-weights such as Lemmy from Motörhead and Alice Cooper in years past. Coffin’s events put his name out there with the mu-sic community, and this recognition helped build his pro� le not only at the event but everywhere, establishing his lifestyle brand as a respected name on par with the guitars his cases were made to protect. He’s throwing a fashion show this year that will highlight new products from both Co� n Case and his Vampira line.

Parties that piggyback onto huge events have become a vital promotional compo-nent for brands these days, and NAMM is clearly no exception. From Comic-Con to South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, to the Magic accessories show in Las Vegas to Coachella, large-scale events — whether they be for trade or public audiences — provide a multitude of opportunities for exposure and promotions. For people behind the Sunset Strip’s popular Ultimate Jam Night, part-nering with NAMM was a no-brainer. � ey hosted their � rst Ultimate NAMM Night at the Hilton Anaheim last year, and it was one of the weekend’s most coveted and crowded o� -site events. � is year they have an even bigger party planned.

Jam creator Chuck Wright of Quiet Riot says he’s been attending the con for years and describes it as a reunion of sorts for rockers such as himself, as well as a networking thing for newer artists, not unlike the night he put together three years ago (Ultimate Jam cel-ebrates its anniversary this month). “People make friendships and build relationships at NAMM,” he says. “Ultimate Jam Night is the same thing. People get gigs playing our event, and musicians who’ve never played together get to do so. Being at NAMM is a great � t. “

� ough it’s held in Orange County, NAMM has a huge international following, Wright points out, with over 100,000 music people in town and taking the opportunity to check out L.A.’s thriving music scene. His night on the Strip is just one of the club nights that bene� ts, even weeks before the convention. Unfortunately, the Monday night following

NAMM they’ll be dark to recover from what is sure to be a wild night in O.C., but the week a� er should still be riding high. Expect music shows and clubs all over L.A. to be a little more amped and maybe cramped this weekend and next.

“Our members, which are mostly small business owners, travel from around the world, spending the week enjoying the warm hospitality of the area,” says Joe Lamond, NAMM president-CEO, adding that the eco-nomic bene� t to Southern California during the weekend exceeds $100 million each year.

Over the years, Co� n (who found love at NAMM when he met his wife, singer Lynda Kay Parker, at a NAMM party several years ago) has had the likes of Slayer and Rob Zombie make appearances at this booth. He’s remained a unique presence at the event even as he’s seen it grow and change. “� ere’s music trends you’ll see every few years,” he says. “Guitars will be hot, then it’s DJs. � en guitars circle back and they’re the big seller. � e market was � ooded a few years back, so there’s a lot of used gear out there right now. I think that would a� ect things, and the economy, of course.”

Co� n says having products manufactured in China to meet big buyer price points led to a boom for the industry that has now become a challenge due to tari� s and changing regu-lations. It remains to be seen if these changes will have a lasting impact on the music-gear market, but so far it doesn’t appear to have had any substantial e� ect. Ash says his stores are doing well and he’s just opened a new one in Florida.

“� e industry is in a constant state of evo-lution,” NAMM’s Lamond says. “If we were to rewind to 1960, you would � nd two-thirds of the show � oor featuring console television sets, record players and radios — how crazy is that to imagine?! � e fact is, that as the industry has evolved, NAMM has evolved in tandem to re� ect the demands of the market and to anticipate the needs of the industry’s future.”

Lamond credits the “exceptional experi-ences” created by NAMM members for mak-ing the convention come to life, capturing the fun of making music, which retailers relay to the public. “� e credit goes to them,” he says. “When you look across the NAMM show � oor and see their entrepreneurial spirit on display in new products and technologies, it’s

hard not to be captured in the enthusiasm of knowing that more people are going to make more music in a variety of new ways.”

Big companies are already getting buzz online for the releases they will showcase this year, especially in the guitar world. Gibson will unveil a limited-edition Chris Cornell tribute ES-335 (based on the late singer’s guitar). Vintage Guitars has a tribute gui-tar to Mick Ronson. Supros o� ers a David Bowie 1961 Dual Tone modeled a� er the Starman’s � rst-ever DT, Schecter has a slew of new Reaper models, and Fender’s American Performer touts its new series’ a� ordability and style. Fender also has a reissue of Jimmy Page’s “Dragon” Telecaster.

� e excitement that � lls each giant room and � oor is de� nitely part of what makes NAMM special. Just as fans plan all year for their favorite music festival, the people be-hind the music festivals plan all year for this, and not just to demo or drool over sound systems, amps, engineering boards, guitars, drums, bass or even the vast selection of clas-sical stringed and woodwind instruments. � ere is a huge area for DJs and dance mu-sic that includes everything from mixers to lighting. � ere are accessories, books, stage design props — really anything to do with music, music performance or production that one can think of.

On top of the 7,000-plus brands on dis-play, there are more than 500 educational sessions and networking events tied to it all. A day at NAMM is entertaining but drain-ing, whether you are a seller, buyer or one of the many musicians who come in hopes of scoring an endorsement (hooking up free or discounted gear via the brands there).

It’s a wonder people even attend a� er-parties like those thrown by Co� n and Ul-timate Jam a� er all the walking and talking about rocking. But they do, and there are even two big awards shows (with tickets available to the public): the TEC Awards, celebrating accomplishments in professional audio sound production, and the She Rocks Awards, honoring women in music.

In regard to women at NAMM, we’ve noted in years past that the event is always male-dominated attendance-wise, but this is changing. Companies like Daisy Rock gui-tars are making sure of it, in fact. Daisy Rock’s Tish Ciravolo says she not only had trouble � nding guitars that worked size-wise for her

but she dealt with a lot of discrimination as a female musician. “It was just very clear to me that women weren’t really accepted into the whole guitar-playing community of guys,” she shares. “And I wanted to change that.”

With her lighter, daisy-shaped guitars, Ciravolo established herself at NAMM, � rst in conjunction with Schecter and later in association with Alfred Music Publishing, with whom she also created a Girls Guitar Method book. “I recognized right away that if we could change the attitude of the store owners and have product in the music stores that girls would be attracted to, then maybe we could get more girls to learn how to play guitar,” Ciravolo recalls. “My very � rst NAMM show in 2010, I did consignment and asked stores to put one guitar in their window. I said, ‘If you don’t sell it, I’ll take it back.’ ” She never had to.

Recent surveys indicate that almost 50 percent of guitar buyers are women these days, and their presence at NAMM is sure to re� ect yet another shi� in the music industry. � ough female instrumentalists aren’t nec-essarily the biggest music stars these days, it doesn’t really matter. A point that is echoed by nearly everyone involved with the event cannot be overstated: � e bulk of music-gear buyers in retail outlets, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores, are not professional musicians but rather hobbyists, people who make music for the simple pleasure of it sans career aspirations.

Whatever happens to the record business side moving forward, this is not likely to change. � e joy of music making and discov-ery probably never will because it transcends age, gender, background or even skill. And the people behind NAMM are working to keep it that way.

“NAMM isn’t just a tradeshow that hap-pens once a year — it’s an organization that is working year-round to create access to music education and, in turn, a more mu-sical world,“ says Lamond, who touts the NAMM Foundation’s investments of more than $100,000 into local schools for music education and instrument donations. “More music, more harmony and more opportunity for all is why we gather as an industry to celebrate this week.”

12 From auditioning on American Idol to being a vocal coach on �e Voice to juggling four kids to com-ing out with her own talk show, Kelly Clarkson is a superwoman.

Her accomplishments to date include three Grammy wins, 11 Top 10 singles, over 25 million albums and 36 million units sold in the U.S. alone … the list goes on.

Born in Texas and raised in Nashville, Clarkson’s �rst attempt at moving to L.A. was cut short when her apartment burned down, leaving her to sleep in her car as she saved enough money to return to Texas. But when singing and performing is your life-long dream, you do what it takes to get there.

With her ability to transcend genres, Clarkson details her love for music as a whole.

“Well, I love everything, even Broadway. We’re actually incorporating a lot of Ham-ilton now. Everybody’s always asking me to sing the song from Hamilton, and ‘Never Enough’ from �e Greatest Showman. You’ll hear the pop-rock side of me on this tour, the more urban pop, which is the newer stu�, and the older stu� from the very �rst record.”

For the “Since U Been Gone” singer, family is �rst. With shows strategically scheduled toward the end of the week, balance means bringing her kids to �e Voice set during the week and wearing the pop-star hat on weekends.

“I want to be with my kids every day. It’s a point generally — the most I’ll ever go is two nights without them. We’re �tting in touring and shooting the new season of �e Voice at the same time. We’re preparing for the TV show and I’m also doing a movie! UglyDolls comes out in the spring.”

When asked how she does it, she exclaims, “Girl, juggling! I’ve become a juggler. �ere’s a lot going on. I never want to be an absentee mom. I feel like either nothing’s going on or everything’s going on. In my career over 16 years, either nothing’s happening and you’re bored, or everything in the world is happening.”

Clarkson’s Meaning of Life tour is going to be a treat for fans all across the world. For each show, she’ll be performing live while incorporating her Minute + Glass of Wine webisode, equipped with a bar and all. �e show then will be released for people in dif-ferent time zones to tune in a�erward.

“I know people are bummed that — be-cause of my schedule — I can’t necessarily make it overseas yet,” she says. “We wanted to do something that could incorporate everyone in the world that would want to possibly watch.”

And still, Clarkson’s favorite part of per-forming is covering artists she loves.

“Usually we call it ‘fan requests,’ but there’s less time this tour so I’m kind of being sel�sh and calling it ‘my requests,’ ” she says with a chuckle. “I’m covering favorite artists of mine that either inspired me to want to be a singer from when I was a kid, or ones that

are currently inspiring me. Like I really dig this Ariana [Grande] record. I love the whole ‘God Is a Woman’ album (Sweetener). I like ‘Imagine,’ all the new stu� she’s been doing. It’s really cool. I’ve been a fan of hers forever — her new stu� is just really hitting me in a di�erent way.”

As usual, Clarkson’s set will be chock-full of anthem songs: “Because of You,” “Stron-ger,” “My Life Would Suck Without You” and “Since U Been Gone.”

Speaking of the latter, she explains, “�at song’s fun for me in a way that I really fought hard to not be with the label at the time. �ey wanted me to just sing ballads all the time and be somebody I really didn’t want to be. It was really cool for me to be able to record a song that had guitar and feeling like I could be 20 years old, and it was OK. We always go through di�erent stages in our lives musically, not only as artists but as humans. It was cool to be like, ‘See, I can make this work — with guitars as well!’ ”

�e same goes for her 2003 hit single, “Miss Independent.” So what made her want to get back on the road a�er a three-year hiatus?

“Touring always been my favorite part of my job, for years. We have four kids total —

my youngest just turned 2 last April. It was time for me personally to get back out. �e big reason why is I de�nitely didn’t make this record to not tour it. �is is my favorite record that I’ve made. Since junior high, I’ve wanted to make this record. �is record was made to feel, not only hear.”

She describes the musicianship — the horns, the singers, the guitarists, the guitar solos — as “next level,” which also accounts for this being the longest show she’s ever done. With a genuine desire to highlight all the amazing musicians with her, she really wants people to be able to hear this album live.

Of course, this means less time during the set for fan favorites such as “‘Beautiful Disaster” and “Standing in Front of You.”

“People get really bummed when you don’t sing their favorite songs, certain songs that I don’t generally get to do because there’s not really time in the set list,” she says. “�is time, we’re doing a whole medley with mine and a fan’s favorite song of mine from each album, and it ends with ‘Would You Call It Love’ from Meaning of Life. I always love working with Greg Kurstin. It’s a really cool message that hasn’t been said and is really hard to do, because there’s only so many messages and so many notes. [laughs] It was

a really cool vibe, so I’m really stoked about being able to do that one.”

In addition to being a mother, wife and daughter, Clarkson describes playing the big-sister role to Brynn Cartelli, her �rst winner on �e Voice, who will be warming up the stage for her this tour.

“She could be my kid, because I have a kid her age,” Clarkson says, chuckling. “I’m in that sister role for her just because I didn’t really have anybody right a�er I won. I didn’t have any friends in L.A., on the road, I didn’t know anyone. It was a really hard time for me. I was working with a few people who were not good people. My thing that I say to any artist is, ‘I can’t make you a superstar — I don’t have that power. But I can help you try and make your dream happen, and make sure you got a friend.’ ”

She continues, “I don’t care about winning. It’s awesome when you do, but my biggest thing is to be there for the artists a�erward. I really want to help them as much as I can, do what I can, push them, gain some fans — get them to where they can make a living doing what they want to do for the rest of their life.”

Clarkson describes Cartelli as an incred-ible artist, writer and singer, who “just so happens to look hot as hell as well.”

“All the things that anyone would ever want to work with in the industry, she happens to encompass,” she says. “She’s a dream artist to work with in general. I’m really stoked for people to see her in her element. She plays piano, guitar, she’s an incredible musician. It’s unreal to get to wit-ness, honestly. I de�nitely was not that girl. I can do chords on guitar and piano [laughs] but I am not a guitarist or pianist. I’m mainly a vocalist and a songwriter.”

In turn, Cartelli describes Clarkson as “the best mentor she could have asked for.”

Cartelli explains, “She and I speak the same language. We surprise each other all the time of how similar we really are. Clark-son is so caring and truly wants the best for me. I’m extremely grateful for that. It’s rare to �nd someone like her in this industry. I have always been a huge fan, and even a�er spending lots of time with Clarkson, she inspires me more and more every day.”

“Opening for Clarkson on tour is a dream come true,” Cartelli adds. “I honestly can’t believe it’s actually happening. It means the world to me that she and her team believe in me enough to let me open the Meaning of Life tour. Clarkson inviting me on tour is a re�ection of how giving she is. I could not thank her enough.”

As for the L.A. stop on the tour, Clarkson leaves us with no spoilers.

“We have a surprise guest for Staples. It’s a very well-known, talented individual,” she says. “We’ve sung together before but we haven’t sung together in years so I’m pretty stoked about it.”

Kelly Clarkson performs at 7 p.m. on Sat-urday, Jan. 26, at Staples Center.

POP SECRETBehind the scenes at PopcornopolisBY MICHELE STUEVEN

Everybody in America has a pop-corn story of their own, whether it’s a �rst kiss at the movies or watching kernels explode like �reworks in the kitchen as a kid.

For Wally and Kathy Arnold, it started with a passion for caramel corn out of a little store-front in Universal City 15 years ago when they founded Popcornopolis.

Like an unattended container of Ji�y Pop on the stove, the company’s wide range of gourmet �avors exploded into a multimil-lion-dollar family business with product in theaters, sports venues and stores across the country. Famous �avors include Zebra (car-amel popcorn drizzled with dark and white chocolate), cinnamon toast, key lime pie and red velvet.

L.A. Weekly took advantage of National Popcorn Day on Saturday, Jan. 19, to take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the company’s 150,000-square-foot production facility in Vernon (see photos and video at laweekly.com), the chance to cook up a batch of our own Zebra corn and a taste of the com-pany’s latest creation: Unicorn.

�e brainchild of senior product devel-oper Laura Cerny, Unicorn is a fruit-�a-vored mix of colorful mushroom popcorn drizzled with a lemon topping that is an all-natural �avor cross between Trix and Fruit Loops cereals.

Packaged in a pink mini version of their signature cellophane cones, Unicorn samples will be rolled out in Costco stores next month in time for Valentine’s Day. A Cal Poly San Luis Obispo food science graduate, Cerny is a STEM nerd who is forever trying to conjure up new sweet and savory combinations.

�e Popcornopolis test kitchen currently is experimenting with �avors including chili lime, turmeric, smoked salt and ranch.

“People love spicy,” says Phil Fox, food chemist, chef and VP of product develop-

ment. “So we’re always trying to come up with new �avors. Some work and some don’t. Dill pickle was a little polarizing.”

He also loves making sweet and salty Um-ami Pop. “Umami is that savory nuance you get in cheeses and broth and even tomatoes,” says the graduate of Chicago’s Le Cordon Bleu. “So at home, I use nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic and black pepper. It’s my go-to �avor at home.”

Together with four of their �ve sons, the Ar-nolds pop nearly 20 million pounds of Amer-ican-grown popcorn every year, produced in small batches, all non-GMO, in mushroom and butter�y varieties. �e mushroom is sturdier, with a larger surface that holds up to big toppings and �avors like caramel, kettle corn and cheddar cheese, whereas the delicate butter�y is used for the lighter Nearly Naked version.

�e whole family is in the facility every day, working in various capacities. Wally runs the marketing and development end of things and Kathy supervises everything that goes on in the factory, while the boys have done everything including sweep the �oors.

“Most importantly we believe in high-qual-ity ingredients,” Wally says. “No preservatives. Everything in this factory is gluten-free. We focused on those ingredients 17 years ago when we started experimenting and weren’t going to use anything we couldn’t pronounce. None of that has changed. �ere’s nothing arti�cial about our Unicorn.”

In addition to a low turnover and high commitment with employees, the Arnolds contribute their success to hands-on involve-ment, a quality product and the power of a free sample. �ey’ve given out 150 million samples in the last 15 years.

“We believe in our hearts that popcorn should put a smile on everyone’s face,” Wally says. “We want it to taste exactly as it did with your �rst bite the �rst time around. “

13From auditioning on American Idol to being a vocal coach on �e Voice to juggling four kids to com-ing out with her own talk show, Kelly Clarkson is a superwoman.

Her accomplishments to date include three Grammy wins, 11 Top 10 singles, over 25 million albums and 36 million units sold in the U.S. alone … the list goes on.

Born in Texas and raised in Nashville, Clarkson’s �rst attempt at moving to L.A. was cut short when her apartment burned down, leaving her to sleep in her car as she saved enough money to return to Texas. But when singing and performing is your life-long dream, you do what it takes to get there.

With her ability to transcend genres, Clarkson details her love for music as a whole.

“Well, I love everything, even Broadway. We’re actually incorporating a lot of Ham-ilton now. Everybody’s always asking me to sing the song from Hamilton, and ‘Never Enough’ from �e Greatest Showman. You’ll hear the pop-rock side of me on this tour, the more urban pop, which is the newer stu�, and the older stu� from the very �rst record.”

For the “Since U Been Gone” singer, family is �rst. With shows strategically scheduled toward the end of the week, balance means bringing her kids to �e Voice set during the week and wearing the pop-star hat on weekends.

“I want to be with my kids every day. It’s a point generally — the most I’ll ever go is two nights without them. We’re �tting in touring and shooting the new season of �e Voice at the same time. We’re preparing for the TV show and I’m also doing a movie! UglyDolls comes out in the spring.”

When asked how she does it, she exclaims, “Girl, juggling! I’ve become a juggler. �ere’s a lot going on. I never want to be an absentee mom. I feel like either nothing’s going on or everything’s going on. In my career over 16 years, either nothing’s happening and you’re bored, or everything in the world is happening.”

Clarkson’s Meaning of Life tour is going to be a treat for fans all across the world. For each show, she’ll be performing live while incorporating her Minute + Glass of Wine webisode, equipped with a bar and all. �e show then will be released for people in dif-ferent time zones to tune in a�erward.

“I know people are bummed that — be-cause of my schedule — I can’t necessarily make it overseas yet,” she says. “We wanted to do something that could incorporate everyone in the world that would want to possibly watch.”

And still, Clarkson’s favorite part of per-forming is covering artists she loves.

“Usually we call it ‘fan requests,’ but there’s less time this tour so I’m kind of being sel�sh and calling it ‘my requests,’ ” she says with a chuckle. “I’m covering favorite artists of mine that either inspired me to want to be a singer from when I was a kid, or ones that

are currently inspiring me. Like I really dig this Ariana [Grande] record. I love the whole ‘God Is a Woman’ album (Sweetener). I like ‘Imagine,’ all the new stu� she’s been doing. It’s really cool. I’ve been a fan of hers forever — her new stu� is just really hitting me in a di�erent way.”

As usual, Clarkson’s set will be chock-full of anthem songs: “Because of You,” “Stron-ger,” “My Life Would Suck Without You” and “Since U Been Gone.”

Speaking of the latter, she explains, “�at song’s fun for me in a way that I really fought hard to not be with the label at the time. �ey wanted me to just sing ballads all the time and be somebody I really didn’t want to be. It was really cool for me to be able to record a song that had guitar and feeling like I could be 20 years old, and it was OK. We always go through di�erent stages in our lives musically, not only as artists but as humans. It was cool to be like, ‘See, I can make this work — with guitars as well!’ ”

�e same goes for her 2003 hit single, “Miss Independent.” So what made her want to get back on the road a�er a three-year hiatus?

“Touring always been my favorite part of my job, for years. We have four kids total —

my youngest just turned 2 last April. It was time for me personally to get back out. �e big reason why is I de�nitely didn’t make this record to not tour it. �is is my favorite record that I’ve made. Since junior high, I’ve wanted to make this record. �is record was made to feel, not only hear.”

She describes the musicianship — the horns, the singers, the guitarists, the guitar solos — as “next level,” which also accounts for this being the longest show she’s ever done. With a genuine desire to highlight all the amazing musicians with her, she really wants people to be able to hear this album live.

Of course, this means less time during the set for fan favorites such as “‘Beautiful Disaster” and “Standing in Front of You.”

“People get really bummed when you don’t sing their favorite songs, certain songs that I don’t generally get to do because there’s not really time in the set list,” she says. “�is time, we’re doing a whole medley with mine and a fan’s favorite song of mine from each album, and it ends with ‘Would You Call It Love’ from Meaning of Life. I always love working with Greg Kurstin. It’s a really cool message that hasn’t been said and is really hard to do, because there’s only so many messages and so many notes. [laughs] It was

a really cool vibe, so I’m really stoked about being able to do that one.”

In addition to being a mother, wife and daughter, Clarkson describes playing the big-sister role to Brynn Cartelli, her �rst winner on �e Voice, who will be warming up the stage for her this tour.

“She could be my kid, because I have a kid her age,” Clarkson says, chuckling. “I’m in that sister role for her just because I didn’t really have anybody right a�er I won. I didn’t have any friends in L.A., on the road, I didn’t know anyone. It was a really hard time for me. I was working with a few people who were not good people. My thing that I say to any artist is, ‘I can’t make you a superstar — I don’t have that power. But I can help you try and make your dream happen, and make sure you got a friend.’ ”

She continues, “I don’t care about winning. It’s awesome when you do, but my biggest thing is to be there for the artists a�erward. I really want to help them as much as I can, do what I can, push them, gain some fans — get them to where they can make a living doing what they want to do for the rest of their life.”

Clarkson describes Cartelli as an incred-ible artist, writer and singer, who “just so happens to look hot as hell as well.”

“All the things that anyone would ever want to work with in the industry, she happens to encompass,” she says. “She’s a dream artist to work with in general. I’m really stoked for people to see her in her element. She plays piano, guitar, she’s an incredible musician. It’s unreal to get to wit-ness, honestly. I de�nitely was not that girl. I can do chords on guitar and piano [laughs] but I am not a guitarist or pianist. I’m mainly a vocalist and a songwriter.”

In turn, Cartelli describes Clarkson as “the best mentor she could have asked for.”

Cartelli explains, “She and I speak the same language. We surprise each other all the time of how similar we really are. Clark-son is so caring and truly wants the best for me. I’m extremely grateful for that. It’s rare to �nd someone like her in this industry. I have always been a huge fan, and even a�er spending lots of time with Clarkson, she inspires me more and more every day.”

“Opening for Clarkson on tour is a dream come true,” Cartelli adds. “I honestly can’t believe it’s actually happening. It means the world to me that she and her team believe in me enough to let me open the Meaning of Life tour. Clarkson inviting me on tour is a re�ection of how giving she is. I could not thank her enough.”

As for the L.A. stop on the tour, Clarkson leaves us with no spoilers.

“We have a surprise guest for Staples. It’s a very well-known, talented individual,” she says. “We’ve sung together before but we haven’t sung together in years so I’m pretty stoked about it.”

Kelly Clarkson performs at 7 p.m. on Sat-urday, Jan. 26, at Staples Center.

POP SECRETBehind the scenes at PopcornopolisBY MICHELE STUEVEN

Everybody in America has a pop-corn story of their own, whether it’s a �rst kiss at the movies or watching kernels explode like �reworks in the kitchen as a kid.

For Wally and Kathy Arnold, it started with a passion for caramel corn out of a little store-front in Universal City 15 years ago when they founded Popcornopolis.

fri 1/25The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

@ CATCH ONEArthur Brown’s crazy world may be de�ned by the incendiary 1968 single “Fire,” but the certi�able loon has an enviable body of work, not to mention an unhealthy heap of charisma, that has seen him retain an enig-matic air for over �ve decades. To this day, TCWOAB is a fascinating live proposition; Brown may not move as much as he once did, and maybe fewer things are actually set on �re, but the musical energy is still there. Hopefully there will be some new recorded material soon — it’s already been six years since the pledge-supported Zim Zam Zim. Catch One should be a cool spot to catch the God of Hell�re — the old-school disco has a great vibe. Sleep Sun, Ruby the Hatchet and Jex �oth also play. —BRETT CALLWOOD

Lera Lynn @ TROUBADOUR

Although Lera Lynn generally writes her own songs, she also revels in the process of collaboration, having worked in the past with Rosanne Cash and producer T Bone Burnett. But the Nashville singer takes musical partnerships to another level on her recent album, Plays Well With Others. Lynn is joined by a series of guest vocalists and co-writers including �e Civil Wars’ John Paul White (on the gently contemplative ballad “Lose Myself ”), Nicole Atkins (the spectral dream-pop idyll “In Another Life”), Rodney Crowell (“Crimson Underground”), Peter Bradley Adams (“Same Old Song”) and Dylan LeBlanc (“What Is Love?”). Shov-els & Rope accompany Lynn on a rootsy cover of TV on the Radio’s “Wolf Like Me.” �e record reveals another side to fans who might know Lynn only from her music and role on True Detective. —FALLING JAMES

sat 1/2680’s Weekend

@ MICROSOFT THEATER �ese ’80s nostalgia tours can be a bit of a mixed bag, but this one looks to be frickin’ awesome. English electronic new wavers Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD),

a band with way more great songs that you initially remember, headline. Elsewhere, we get local paisley underground ladies �e Ban-gles and British mega pop trio Bananarama. �at means “Walk Like an Egyptian,” “Manic Monday,” “Venus” and “Cruel Summer.” �at’s almost too much awesomeness. Add to that old-school rapper Rob Base, Ti�any of “I �ink We’re Alone Now” fame, Farrington + Mann (of When in Rome) and synth-pop band �e Flirts, and there’s a lot to love. So tease that hair, pull out the leg warmers and shoulder pads, and allow yourself to recall a time when bright colors were not considered a bad thing. —BRETT CALLWOOD

Todd Terry @ GLOBE THEATRE

�e time is ripe for a Studio 54 reboot — of sorts. With the revitalization of the historic theaters on Broadway in DTLA, the launch of the new monthly event Studio 740 at the Globe �eatre is opportune. Studio 740 — which takes its name from the Globe’s ad-dress — focuses on classic disco and house favorites, and who better to inaugurate the series than house legend Todd Terry. Terry’s appearance anywhere at any time signals a special occasion, but it has been a long minute since Los Angeles has experienced

him. Terry is a true master of dance-�oor sounds, and while his fame is primarily in the house realm, he is far more multifaceted than that, with an unerring understanding of what moves bodies. Getting the crowd revved up for Terry will be local �rebrand Lupe Fuentes, who was made for the job. —LILY MOAYERI

Gates of the West: Joe Strummer Celebration

@ THE ROXYPunk rock lost a lot of its idealistic heart when Joe Strummer died too young at age 50 in 2002. �e Clash frontman and occa-sional Pogues �ll-in helped to move punk away from existential nihilism toward a more politically le�ist and socially commit-ted stance — one that seems sadly forgotten today as the genre has evolved from musical experimentation into its more modern state of nostalgic mimicry. Former D Generation singer Jesse Malin heads a tribute to Strum-mer in a bene�t for the California Com-munity Foundation Wild�re Relief Fund, the Joe Strummer Foundation and Music & Memory. While Malin’s journeyman songs lack the poetic �air of Strummer’s classic anthems, the lineup is highlighted by a rare solo appearance by L7’s Suzi Gardner

sun 1/27Potty Mouth

@ BOOTLEG THEATERIt’s been six years since Potty Mouth released their promising debut album, Hell Bent, which was packed with tough, smart, fem-inist punk anthems. An equally engaging self-titled EP built on that potential in 2015, and the local trio followed up a year later with the archly titled punk-pop single “Smash Hit,” which was simultaneously sarcastic, euphoric and supremely catchy. Singer-guitarist Abby Weems, bassist Ally Einbinder and drummer Victoria Man-danas perform tonight in advance of the early-March release of their second album, SNAFU, on Einbinder and Alex Lickten-hour’s LGBT-friendly label, Get Better Records. �e new disc includes “Smash Hit,” the coming-of-age single “22” and “Fence-walker,” a track co-written by Go-Go’s drummer Gina Schock. Early editions of the album feature a comic book written and illustrated by Weems. —FALLING JAMES

Vicky & the Vengents, The Electric Mess, Honeychain

@ ALEX’S BARVicky & the Vengents purvey a loving mix-ture of girl-group pop and garage rock that’s thoroughly retro, but powerhouse vocalist Vicky Tafoya and her drummer-nephew Mario Tafoya team with guitarist Matt Beld and his bassist-brother Andy Beld to put it all together with irrepressible verve and energy. �ere’s an online clip of the SoCal group harmonizing glorious doo-wop a cappella in a Bronx stairwell that’s just as thrilling as punked-up Ramones-style songs such as “Sha Na.” New York City’s �e Electric Mess have a harder approach on their 2018 album, �e Beast Is You, a nonstop barrage of punk & roll leavened with keyboard-driven garage rock. Pandoras drummer Hillary Burton moves up front to lead Honeychain, an L.A. trio who bash out the tunes on their Kim Shattuck–produced debut, Crushed, with winsome melodicism and a more modern attack. —FALLING JAMES

mon 1/28I Am Morbid

@ WHISKY A GO GOYeah, this is another one of those slightly embarrassing situations where a key mem-ber has le� a band, and now there are two versions on the circuit (see Venom, Queens-ryche, etc.). In this case, it’s death-metal pioneers Morbid Angel. David Vincent was the vocalist in the years that are generally considered the band’s best, but at some point he fell out with founding member and gui-tarist Trey Azagthoth. So Vincent is out as I Am Morbid, while Azagthoth has assembled a new band to carry on the Morbid Angel name (they play L.A. with Cannibal Corpse next month). It’s all a big mess but hey, you still get to hear Vincent growl himself sore at

the Whisky. Reaper, War Hog, Metal�er and �e Doubted also play. —BRETT CALLWOOD

tue 1/29Whitey Morgan & the 78’s

@ MARTY’S ON NEWPORT Flint, Michigan, might be known best because of the poisonous water that has been in�icted on its residents of late, but the city has produced some wonderful musical artists in recent years. Whitey Morgan is an outlaw country crooner of the highest order, and just might be the best country artist you’ve never heard of. �e 2008 Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels debut, put out on awesome Detroit label Small Stone, was a breath of fresh air in a rhinestone-heavy country climate, while last year’s self-re-leased Hard Times and White Lines is equally cathartic. Morgan has a gi� for telling stories of hardship and strife without ever sounding hokey or melodramatic (as so many country singers do). His voice is like both velvet and sandpaper; frankly, we could listen to him for hours. —BRETT CALLWOOD

wed 1/30The Wooster Group

@ REDCAT�e Wooster Group unveil their latest priceless cultural touchstone, THE B-SIDE: Negro Folklore From Texas State Prisons — or, A Record Album Interpretation. It’s based on the 1965 Bruce Jackson–recorded Elektra LP (back when Elektra was a link between folk music and popular culture) Negro Folklore From Texas State Prisons, which was a clutch of �eld recordings — work songs, spirituals and gospel tunes — from men who worked and died on the Texas agricultural prison farms of Ramsey, Ellis, Retrieve and Wynne. Eric Berryman, Jasper McGruder and Philip Moore of the Wooster Group play the record for you and then interpret the depth of its contents, live and direct. If you see only one multimedia exploration into the heart of the Ameri-can experience this year, let it be this one. �rough Sunday, Feb. 3. —DAVID COTNER

thu 1/31The Flytraps

@ THE VIPER ROOM�e Flytraps have been one of this area’s best-kept secrets for the better part of this decade, but maybe it’s time to share the gi� with the rest of the world. Because these women are simply magni�cent. Reminis-cent of the days when bands such as �e Mummies and �e Cramps were the cool-est in the country, �e Flytraps e�ortlessly blend surf and psychobilly with sleaze and punk rock, out-playing and out-drinking most of the dudes on the Strip. Or on any strip. A show at the Viper from this lot shouldn’t be missed because, honestly, what plans do you have that night that will be more exciting than this? Glitter Wizard, High Priestess and Gygax also play. —BRETT CALLWOOD
