Pat Hull @ Sou'wester Lodge

Pat Hull is a singer-songwriter from Connecticut currently based out of Chico, CA. His music intertwines a melodic, soulful, counter-tenor vocal range with a unique finger picking style, creating a dreamy landscape with unpredictable hooks and turns. Pat’s newest releases, ‘Origami Sessions’ and ‘Marrow,’ showcase his delicate yet raw ability to compose, sing, write, and perform.
Prior recordings include ‘Light’ and ‘Shed Skin,‘ recorded and produced in Bennington, VT with engineer, JJ Beck and vocalist, Michael Chinworth. This collaborative effort brought a vocally and lyrically charged center to Pat’s songwriting, and displayed a collection of songs with a detailed and complex configuration of supporting instrumentation.

Syrinx Effect @ Sou'wester Lodge
Nov 10 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Syrinx Effect @ Sou'wester Lodge

An acoustic-electric duo with endless possibilities, Syrinx Effect plays their own blend of folk punk jazz. They easily switch between dreamy ambient loops, catchy pop riffs and found sounds, all the while paying homage to their free improv roots. Naomi plays trombone with guitar pedals and Kate plays soprano saxophone with laptop and other toys. The duo got its start curating the Racer Sessions in Seattle, and has gone on to perform prolifically around the US, collaborating with many of the mainstays of the improvised music scene such as Wayne Horvitz, Robin Holcomb, Elliott Sharp, Bobby Previte, Stuart Dempster, Allison Miller, Rene Hart. Syrinx Effect makes music that is authentic and expressive, employing everything from simple folk melodies to abstract, ambient noise. Each piece is a meditation, an exploration, and sometimes a romp.

This event is free and open to the public.

On Saturday, two dynamic duos will hit you up with a rock and roll explosion!

The Thanks A Lot Honky Tonk Concern is what happens when a married couple moves to the woods and makes a band where they each play their not-main instrument while composing music with screaming harmonies about the wildlife in their neighborhood.

Veteran NY psych-pop act Shana Falana just released her new LP Here Comes The Wave, her 2nd with Team Love Records. Emerging from New York’s vast drone/psych scene, Shana combines live looping of reverb-drenched vocals and guitar with tribal drums and stunning visual projections. Her live experience has often been described as transcendental.

“Psychedelic dream pop dashed on the rocks of goth defiance” -Stereogum

“If you want to zone out, Shana Falana’s alluring debut LP gives many opportunities to do so.” -Pitchfork

The Horsenecks @ Sou'wester Lodge
Dec 1 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
The Horsenecks @ Sou'wester Lodge

The Horsenecks play hard-hitting and heartfelt Old Time and classic Bluegrass music. Their sound is centered around the pairing of the signature rhythmic Appalachian fiddle style of Oregonain Gabrielle Macrae, (the Macrae Sisters, Hook & Anchor) and with the driving yet subtle three-finger banjo playing of Liverpudlian Barry Southern (Tramp Attack, The Loose Moose Stringband.) Gabrielle’s playing style is the result of being raised in the Old Time music hotbed of Portland, OR and being exposed to the fiddle traditions of the Southeast through years of traveling to festivals and learning from some of the greatest players in the genre. Barry’s banjo playing ranges from thrilling and high-octane to moody and captivating. Harmony singing and thoughtful song writing bring the two multi-instrumentalists to the stage with an exciting and varied set of upbeat foot-stompers, new takes on old standards, innovative fiddle-banjo compositions and heartfelt country and gospel songs. The Horsenecks continue to set a new standard in today’s traditional music scene with appearances at major festivals in the USA and the UK, including the Cornwall Bluegrass Festival, Doolin Folk Festival, The Portland Old Time Gathering, and the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Festival. They received critical acclaim in 2015 for their self-titled debut album. Their long-awaited second album, Fiddlehead was released in July, 2018.

This event is free and open to the public

Garett Brennan & Jon Neufeld @ Sou'wester Lodge
Dec 8 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Garett Brennan & Jon Neufeld @ Sou'wester Lodge

Garett Brennan is a Portland, Ore-based songwriter, singer and instrumentalist. His solo work explores the far intimate corners of acoustic, roots and Americana, and his side project work with pigWar explores the fringe boundaries of soul, psychedelic and rock. His live performances are undeniably authentic and raw. Garett Brennan and Jon Neufeld have been playing together since 2008 through various incarnations and have released three albums together. Their show on December 8 will explore a whole new vault of materials that they are preparing to take into the studio for their next album this winter. Brennan’s material pulls from the mellow pockets of JJ Cale, the old-timey sensibility of Gillian Welch and the lyrical moody vibes of more modern writers like Gregory Alan Isakov and Jeff Tweedy.

This event is free and open to the public!
