Father's Day show at Tacoma McMenamins celebrates the bond of fathers and sons
A show celebrating fatherhood through live music and poetry is coming to Tacoma this Father's Day. Father and son pair Leon Walker and Rob Young will perform 'Said By The Father and Son' at the Spanish Ballroom at Tacoma's McMenamins Elks Temple on June 15. Blending live hip hop, soul and gospel music and spoken poetry, the production explores fatherhood, the Black experience and universal themes of human familial relationships, Young told The News Tribune. Put on by Rob Young Productions and L61 Productions, the story is authentic to Tacoma, where Walker raised Young and where they have performed for years, he added. Sponsored by the City of Tacoma Arts Commission (TAC), the Tacoma Urban League and the Black Future Co-op Fund, the show also hopes to provide an opportunity to honor and uplift fathers on Father's Day, he added. 'It's almost like it's interwoven between our relationship and the human experience, and so both are happening at the same time in a way that I think is very unique,' Young said. '.... It's our relationship, but it's not our relationship. We're only a representation of what other people do.' Young, now 39 — who was born Robert Walker but performs as Rob Young — said he has long been inspired by his father's work as a motivational speaker and poet. As he became a young adult, they performed poetry shows together often, he added, which led to their nickname of 'the father' and 'the son.' Now, the two have delved into that history to co-write a show that showcases and traverses the beauty, messiness, pain and growth of their relationship through their favorite forms of communication: poetry and music, Young said. All the music is original and will be performed with a live band and singers, he added. 'It's literally taking our works and seeing how they correlate and how they are different from a place of generational wisdom and how my pieces are questions to his answers very easily,' he said. 'And I think that's what makes this so unique. This is our first time doing this.' Naomi Strom-Avila, funding and cultural programs manager for the City of Tacoma's Arts & Cultural Vitality division, told The News Tribune the TAC was excited to select 'Said By The Father and Son' for their 2025 Community Arts Projects funding program. Their proposal stood out for its inter-generational reach and its focus on Black fatherhood, vulnerability and personal growth, she said. Strom-Avila added that she was excited to see the show and plans to attend with her own family on Sunday. 'Both Leon Walker and Rob Young bring years of experience in producing impactful community projects, partnering with organizations and schools to engage audiences in social justice and cultural storytelling,' Strom-Avila added in an email. 'The Tacoma Arts Commission is thrilled to help bring this inspiring project to life, enriching our community through the transformative power of the arts.' The show will take place in four chapters, with a stage design made to resemble their own living room, Young said. Each chapter takes the audience through various time periods and emotions of fatherhood, starting with the first, titled 'In the Beginning,' and progressing through 'Generation Gap,' 'You'll Always Be My Little Buddy' and finally, 'Love Is the Answer.' Originally from Pittsburgh, Walker, now 76, told the News Tribune that he arrived in Tacoma after serving in the Air Force. He raised Young in northeast Tacoma while working as a Department of Corrections parole officer and a teacher at McNeil Island Corrections Center and the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, he said, adding that he sought to be a friendly and accommodating father to Young, who he called his 'little buddy.' Walker was also the founder of JasLeRob Gallery in the '90s at South 12th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Now closed, he said it was the largest gallery of Black art in the state. He hopes the show will leave people thinking about their own relationships and histories. He said it will delve into African-American history that is increasingly overlooked or ignored in the current political climate. 'We can't solve everybody's problems, but maybe we can talk about our relationship and what we've been through — you can see something from that that binds together relationships that are important, like father to son, family to community, family to the larger Black experience in this country,' Walker said. The first two poems of the show were created during real events between father and son prior to the show's concept, Young said. The show opens with a poem Walker wrote when Young was born, about giving him a name. As a young adult, Young had disliked and questioned what he felt was a lack of African influence on his name — upon discovering his father's poem, he felt newly understood, Young said. For his father's 70th birthday, Young wrote a response to that poem from his point of view, speaking to God about what father he had hoped to be sent to. That poem will be the second piece presented in the show to finish introducing both performers, he said. The show is also special in its ability to offer something to audiences from across different generations, with both modern and historic influences on its themes and music, Young said. The music will serve as the foundation that ties the show together as the audience is guided through emotional poetry performances, he added. Following this performance, Walker and Young plan to release a joint poetry album by the same title, which will include some pieces from the show, Young said. Some works from the show will also be put into a poetry book Walker plans to release in the future, he added. 'I personally believe that doing art and doing this kind of matter of the hearts, is stewardship,' Young said. 'It is doing a higher-purpose work, and that's incredibly, incredibly important, and we take it serious.' The show is at 6 p.m. on Sunday evening, and doors will open at 5 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at the McMenamins events website.

(Peacock via AP) This image released by Peacock shows Victoria Heuermann in a scene from the documentary "The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets." (Peacock via AP) NEW YORK (AP) — The daughter of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann believes he 'most likely' committed the infamous killings in New York even as her mother steadfastly defends her ex-husband's innocence in a new documentary released Tuesday. The admission from Victoria Heuermann isn't made on camera but through a statement from producers near the end of 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets,' a three-part documentary on NBC's streaming service Peacock. Advertisement 'A week before the series release, Victoria Heuermann told the producers that based on publicly available facts that have been presented and explained to her, she now believes her father is most likely the Gilgo Beach killer,' reads a statement at the close of the final episode of the documentary, which was produced by musician 50 Cent's production company, G-Unit Film and Television. Bob Macedonio, an attorney for Heuermann's now ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, said in a statement after the documentary's release that 'time will only tell' whether his client will ever accept that her husband may have been a serial killer. Heuermann's lawyer didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The Manhattan architect has been charged with killing seven women, most of them sex workers, and dumping their bodies on a desolate parkway not far from Gilgo Beach on Long Island, some 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Manhattan. Advertisement He has pleaded not guilty and is due back in Riverhead court June 17 as a judge continues to weigh whether to allow key DNA evidence into the trial. In the documentary, Victoria Heuermann struggles to reconcile her childhood memories with the portrait of the killer described by authorities. She says her father was around the family '90% of the time' and was never violent toward any of them. At the same time, Victoria Heuermann acknowledged there were times when he stayed home while the family went on vacation and that she was around 10 to 13 years old when the killings happened. Prosecutors say Heuerman committed some of the killings in the basement while his family was out of town. Advertisement 'Whether or not I believe my dad did it or not, I'm on the fence about that,' said the now 28-year-old. 'Part of me thinks he didn't do it, but at the same time, I don't know, he could have just totally had a double life.' Ellerup, for her part, maintained she saw no 'abnormal behavior' in their nearly three decades of marriage. She dismissed a computer file prosecutors claim is a 'blueprint' of his crimes as 'absurd.' The document features a series of checklists for before, during and after a killing, such as a 'body prep' checklist that includes among other items a note to 'remove head and hands.' Advertisement Ellerup also shrugged off other evidence prosecutors have enumerated in court documents, including a vast collection of bondage and torture pornography found on electronic devices seized from their home, and hairs linked to Heuermann that were recovered on most of the victims' bodies. At the same time, she revealed that in July 2009, around the time one of his alleged victims went missing, Heuermann suddenly renovated a bathroom while she and their two children were on vacation for weeks to visit her family in Iceland. But she noted her former husband eventually joined the family for their final week of their trip. 'My husband, he's a family man. He's my hero,' Ellerup said. 'What I want to say to him is, 'I love you, no matter what.'' Ellerup divorced Heuermann after his arrest in 2023. But in the documentary, Victoria Heuermann says the separation was for financial reasons to protect the family's assets. Advertisement Indeed, the mother and daughter have been regularly attending court hearings with their attorney. The filmmakers even captured them speaking to Heuermann by phone from jail. A Peacock spokesperson said Ellerup was paid a location fee and a licensing fee for use of family archive materials, although the payments cannot go toward the defendant or his defense funds. The family, which also includes Ellerup's adult son from a prior marriage, is planning to put up its notoriously ramshackle house in well-to-do Massapequa Park for sale as they look to move to a property they own in South Carolina. ___ Follow Philip Marcelo on X: @philmarcelo.
