Stephanie Nilles
Aug 5 @ 8:00 pm

Chicago-born jazz/punk/barrelhouse musician Stephanie Nilles has been doin’ Kesey proud one bar at a time since 2008, hustling around the United States, Europe, and Canada (except from 2009-2010 for legal reasons), averaging 150 gigs a year, and captivating unsuspecting listeners with a voice that would make Jelly Roll Morton look orthodox and Ma Rainey look sober.

Having studied piano and cello since the age of six, she was a finalist at the Young Concert Artists’ International Competition, a gold medalist at the Fischoff Competition, and had performed on NPR on three occasions by the age of seventeen. At twenty-two, she had graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Music with a degree in classical piano performance and temporarily relocated to New York City, where she began writing songs and performed regularly on the east village anti-folk scene while making a living working odd jobs as a dog walker, valet parking attendant, Italian coffee bar barista, ghostwriter, and research assistant to a blind bioethicist at an all boys’ Jewish university.

She has since sung with Bobby McFerrin in Carnegie Hall, directed the musical program of a Brooklyn burlesque series, covered Busta Rhymes’ “Break Ya Neck” in the skeletal remains of a bombed-out cathedral in Nuremberg, been invited to perform official showcases at SXSW and International Folk Alliance, and self-released 5 full-length albums, three of which were picked up for European release by German roots/blues label Tradition und Moderne (Taj Mahal, John Fahey). 

When Stephanie’s not sleeping in her car, she lives in New Orleans, which might not be the best idea.

Joseph Hein
Aug 10 @ 8:00 pm

 

Joseph Hein hails from the Palouse in eastern Washington State. With lush arrangements and warm distortion, he creates dreamy harmonious sounds with an energetic up­tempo rhythm influenced by songs of yesteryear’s AM country and R&B gold. He is often accompanied by an array of instruments including a trombone, a violin, keyboards and guitars that add to the band’s distinct style. Joseph Hein sings honestly about good times and the bad and the music bears witness to the road unkempt and a winding trail.

This event is free and open to the public

Matthew Zeltzer plus Lucy Barna
Aug 12 @ 8:00 pm

Portland songwriter, Matthew Zeltzer (of The American West), emerged from a year of exile- living on an organic farm in Half Moon Bay, Ca raising chickens, writing songs about the apocalypse as a relationship slowly fell apart. He then puttered around Half Moon Bay, finishing the songs, before returning to Portland and forming his new project, The American West. It is these songs that fill his new release, “The Soot Will Bring Us Back Again,” which Frank Gutch Jr. (No Depression), calls, “Words to the wise. A warning. Beautifully done.” The Soot Will Bring Us Back Again is flecked with pedal steel and longing harmonies as the album drifts between finger-picked folk songs and raucous country-rockers, all while the focus remains on Zeltzer’s ragged poetry. 

 
Matthew Zeltzer has had the distinct privilege of sharing the stage with acts including The Milk Carton Kids, Jim Lauderdale, The Brothers Comatose, The T Sisters, Crow and the Canyon, Jaime Wyatt, and he is the former guitarist of Grammy Award winning Fantastic Negrito. photo by Caitlin Webb

Recently relocated to Astoria, OR from Santa Fe, NM, songwriter Lucy Barna finds roots in lyric, storytelling, and tales from the road.  
Best known for her airy vocals and poignant lyrics, Lucy has earned regional and national attention for her solo work as well as performance with award winning Hot Honey, a band she formed in 2012.  Hot Honey was named Best New Band, Best Alt/Country Band, and Best Rock Band in Santa Fe 2013, and will return for a short summer tour in 2017 bringing their well-loved Appalachian-Sass sounds to the Southwest..  Lucy’s solo work features self-taught guitar and banjo paired with subtle lyrical sense in songs about the heart and the emotions less spoken of .  Photo by Madeline Moore

Lindsie Feathers
Aug 17 @ 8:00 pm


“Sweetheart of The Rodeo” – Willamette Week

Lindsie Feathers is a rabble rousing honky-tonk woman that’s spreading her wings and trusting in the flight.  Her latest album, Neon Renaissance, was engineered and mixed by Adam Selzer at Type Foundry (Sallie Ford, Laura Gibson, Scout Niblet).  Her songs are about love, the life journey, our planet and it’s dwindling resources, connecting to our ancestors, and honoring our heroes.  

In the words of the Neon Renaissance creed, written to define the album: “Let us follow our dream, teach the earth, serve humanity.  We seek to love; not hate.  To heal; not hurt.  Let love prevail.”

Three For Silver
Aug 24 @ 8:00 pm

Three For Silver is post-collapse, post-apocalyptic, post-rock, post-everything. A freewheeling collective in which the only rule is to survive and perform, an elastic conglomeration of musical freaks as likely to be found in a grand theater performing for foreign dignitaries as busking on your street corner for spare change.  

Lucas Warford (vocals, basses) is the thumping heart of the band, a chugging diesel engine of bass and growl. “The acid baby of Tom Waits and Les Claypool,” as NW legend Baby Gramps once called him. His one-of-a-kind basses are the platform upon which he yowls and raps his end-time visions of the world. Willo Sertain (vocals, accordion) hails from the woods of North Carolina, her distinctively pure tones and haunting melodies act as a natural foil to the madness of Warford.  Greg Allison (strings, mandolin, arrangement) is the master of pure sound, beating the ungainly ideas of Warford and Sertain into something resembling songs. He writes string quartet arrangements like he’s writing his own name, and generally classes up the joint.

Three For Silver has hit the road since 2013, unleashing their idiosyncratic sound on over 200 audiences a year, blind to anything but the next stage, the next audience, the next night. With nary a manager or booker in sight, their monomaniacal devotion has already led them all over the country and the world, performing in clubs, bars, theaters, boats, festivals, farmer’s markets, living rooms, and most recently partnering with the US State Department for ongoing cultural exchange tours to other countries thirsty for truly original American music.

Whether live or on their new record, Three For Silver is a band for this moment, when it is hard to imagine the future and all too easy to focus on the past, when the rules no longer seem to apply, and when what you never thought possible is the only choice you’ve got.
