Anna Tivel: Presented by Sou’wester Arts
Jul 31 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Anna Tivel is an American singer-songwriter from Portland, Oregon. She has released four studio albums on Portland-based Fluff & Gravy Records.[3] Her 2017 album Small Believer received positive reviews[4][5] and was named a “Top 10 underheard album of 2017” by Ann Powers of NPR.[6] In 2019, NPR called her album The Question “one of the most ambitious folk records of 2019”;[7] it was also listed by Paste as one of “10 essential folk albums from 2019”.[8]

Rolling Stone listed her as a standout performer at the 2019 AmericanaFest in Nashville, writing “In a week of countless songsmiths showcasing their attempt at that exact type of singer-songwriter storytelling, Tivel’s winding, largely chorus-less tales shined and shimmered.”[9] The magazine also named the lead single from The Question, “Fenceline”, a “song you need to know”.[10]

Tivel was born in La Conner, Washington and grew up in a musical family, learning violin and fiddle as a child. After moving to Portland at age 18, she developed an interest in songwriting and began to write and perform her own material.[11] Many of her songs are vignettes about the lives and struggles of ordinary people; she said in an interview “I’m drawn over and over to the small stories of people (myself included) just trying to get by, to do a little better, to feel some sort of beauty in an ugly world.”[12] Tivel’s songs are often somber in tone as she has said that she “just [doesn’t] trust happy songs as much”.[13]

On her last album, The Question, she collaborated with engineer Brian Joseph and producer and musician Shane Leonard.[14]

Papi Fimbres: Presented by Sou’wester Art

David “Papi” Fimbres creates sound out of thin air that feels familiar at first, but at a second thought, is nothing you’ve ever heard before. As a percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Fimbres wields an arc of pure infectious energy and a rare and cosmic control over the rhythmic and melodic spectrum. Born & raised in the Pacific West Coast, his Latino culture is immersed in not only his music but his way of life as he sees it. Everything is here for a reason, and within that, everything has a sound that can be curated and understood.

Dustin Hamman: Presented by Sou’wester Arts @ The Sou'wester
Aug 18 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Dustin Hamman is a composer, musician, hack/wannabe actor/director, and donut enthusiast.

Dustin’s musical tastes span many genres but have always been rooted in folk. He had an early fascination with American Indian singing and early punk rock…later he explored the blues and the origins of country, eventually gaining interest in early jazz, swing, and big band. During a short life in Florida he was introduced to Latin rhythms and became intrigued by Flamenco and classical guitar.  More recently, he’s been dabbling in marriages of a variety of genres including, rap, rock, r&b, and noise/ambient, many of which can be heard on the recently released soundtrack for Beneath The Harvest Sky.  This was his first film scoring effort and he hopes to do many more.
