In the play by A. M. Dolan, Clapp portrays Frost, a native Californian, as the famed poet "bards around" the country, speaking to thousands at the height of his enduring popularity. The production blends Frost’s poetry, speeches, and conversations to offer a multidimensional portrait of the iconic American writer and four-time Pulitzer-Prize winner. Clapp, perhaps best known for playing detective Greg Medavoy in the12-season TV drama "NYPD Blue," "embodies the poet's joy and mischievous sense of humor," said the Boston Globe. The play is being produced by poet and Frost authority Robert Bernard Hass, executive director of the Robert Frost Society, and Rancho Santa Fe poet and Frost scholar Jim Hurley, associate director of the society. "We are thrilled to join with North Coast Rep to bring this superb production to San Diego for the first time," said Hass. "Those who know and revere Robert Frost will find him again in their midst through Gordon’s impeccable portrayal; others will meet a timeless Frost for the first time and fall for his irresistible mind and charm." The event will mark the latest in a series of recent collaborations by the Frost Society to present the California-born poet's work in three successive artistic genres: poetry, music, and drama The series launched in March 2024 with a four-day celebration of the poet's sesquicentennial year that drew hundreds of Frost lovers to hear ten of America's premier poets, including Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy K. Smith. The following November, the Society collaborated with the San Diego Master Chorale in its interpretation of Randall Thompson's Frostiana, a composition based on seven of Frost's most beloved poems. The multi-venue events drew an estimated audience of 1,000. "This Verse Business" will run November 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m. at North Coast Rep: 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

Brainstory’s new album Sounds Good, simply put, lives up to its name. Based in L.A. but hailing from the Inland Empire's own Rialto, CA, two-thirds of Brainstory, Kevin and Tony Martin are brothers by blood, while Eric Hagstrom is a brother through their music and long term friendship. While the group's initial connection comes from the heady mixture of jazz-performance-focused music school and the grind of playing local shows, their bond has been strengthened through countless hours on the road touring and the making of two studio records—2019’s debut full-length, Buck, followed by 2021’s Ripe EP. "Being on the road, doing our own tours, and backing incredible people like Lady Wray, has sharpened our skills and really revved us up for this record," Kevin says. "It's been four years since our last full length record, and with everything that's happened since, it's like we've been catching up to ourselves." That's one way to describe change: catching up to oneself. Each member of Brainstory has gone through shifts, both personally and musically, and all of that thread through this record. Since they started the band they have constantly faced situations that forced them to rise to the occasion. They got signed to Big Crown Records, they stepped up their game. Covid happened, they learned to record themselves. They started touring a ton sharing the stage with the likes of Lady Wray and they got their live show super tight. All of this time spent grinding and growing has certainly paid off. The path to take their art to the next level is clearer than ever and once again, they are here for it. If there is one thing that is abundantly clear on this album, it’s that Brainstory leveled up.
