Bitches of the Sun @ Sou'wester Lodge

Bitches of the Sun is an Oregon based trio founded in winter of 2017 by Willamette Week award winning vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Davis. After the session saxophonist made his way to the Pacific Northwest from Chicago, Illinois he decided to push his musical boundary and play his hand at being a front-man. In efforts to find a refreshing new sound that embodied traditional rock elements he was introduce to bassist Nick Wright and drummer Seth Shaler. Together this powerhouse has an extensive resume of individual features and group performances with the likes of Wyclef Jean, Mac Miller, Chance the Rapper and Buddy Guy. Described by its loyal fan base as “Portland’s rock band” the trio uses it’s diverse musical background to deliver a large selection of body shaking grooves wrapped in emotionally complex arrangements guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor.

Every performance gifts the audience with unforgettable moments that can only be envied by those who missed out. And with the release of their 2018 self-titled Bitches of the Sun EP they are proving to be a force of limitless growth and longevity.

Fox & Bones @ Sou'wester Lodge

Fox & Bones @ Sou'wester Lodge

Fox and Bones are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde, if Bonnie and Clyde had driven a Volvo and played folk pop music. Based in Portland, OR, these internationally touring sweethearts aren’t your average duo. Rather than simply documenting their experiences in song, Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore write from the perspective of quasi-fictional characters, Fox and Bones. The two fall for each other, decide to hit the road, and never look back. The pair uses music as the canvas on which they paint a new life together that defies traditional relationship roles and life goals. Their music is modern with retro stylings; it is ripe with vocal harmonies that pull at the heartstrings, and a complex, at times metaphysical, lyrical landscape. Each element serves their stories of a life lived on the road in pursuit of a dream that most never have the courage to chase.

Green Hills Alone plus Miller Carr @ Sou'wester Lodge

GREEN HILLS ALONE

…I am going to my own hearth-stone,
Bosomed in yon green hills alone,
A secret nook in a pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned…

Songwriter Chris Miller, along with collaborators Mark Robertson and Weezy Ford, explore new sounds following Sleepy Volcano’s 2014 Green Hills Alone full-length release. Expanding on themes of death, epiphany and transformation, the new material draws lyrical inspiration from the Tao te Ching and eschews guitar in favor of layered keyboards and upbeat rhythms. Miller, who’s performed as Green Hills Alone since 2003, released a self-titled EP in his home town of Redding that year. He moved to Portland in 2009, and eventually recorded and released the aforementioned 2014 full-length. 2019 will begin the next chapter of Green Hills Alone with new recorded music and more tour dates.

In between tours, burgeoning Portland indie songwriter, MAITA has quietly chipped away at her debut full length, recorded in part at the Ok Theatre in Enterprise, Oregon, and in Portland (to be released in 2019).

Thus far, singles off the album have been featured on Tender Loving Empire’s “Friends of Friends” compilation, Vortex’s Magazine’s annual vinyl release, and the Picklefest vinyl compilation. Following a month long tour of Europe, MAITA returned to the states to perform at Treefort in Boise, Wildwood Music Festival in Willamina, Oregon, and Modest Music Festival in Moscow, Idaho!

The Art of Seasonal Nourishment: An Ayurvedic “Cook, Learn & Eat” Dinner Party with Elyssia Maya Schaeffer
Feb 9 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Winter 2019 Workshop Series

The Art of Seasonal Nourishment: An Ayurvedic “Cook, Learn & Eat” Dinner Party with Elyssia Maya Schaeffer

Come cook, learn and dine with Elyssia Maya Schaeffer, Ayurvedic Nutritionist, after a cozy day at the coast! We will explore winter seasonal foods, herbs and spices while preparing Ayurvedic Kitchari – a delicious traditional Ancient Indian one-pot cleansing dish – and a decaffeinated chai tea. Filled with fresh, nourishing ingredients to balance the energies of any season, Kitchari is an indispensable addition to your repertoire of home recipes.

Apply your new Ayurvedic cooking skills to make quick, healthy and filling school or work lunches, a hearty meal to share with loved ones or a supportive dish for your next cleanse. Through this interactive workshop, you will learn which foods are your best allies in winter time and gain a deeper understanding of why eating seasonally is so critical to our health through the wisdom of Ayurvedic principles.


Elyssia Maya Schaeffer is a Certified Ayurveda and Yoga Teacher, Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Wellness Coach living in Portland, Oregon with her fun loving husband and two cheeky chihuahuas. Elyssia found Ayurveda – the medical system of Ancient India, which translated from Sanskrit means “the knowledge of life” – through Yoga. After years of asana practice, she was drawn to the philosophical side of the Yoga tradition and from here was introduced to the sister science of Yoga – Ayurveda. In addition to teaching workshops and offering private consultations in Portland, Elyssia co-runs the monthly Center for Ayurveda and Yoga Study Clinic with a mentor and colleague. For information about upcoming workshops or appointments at the CAYS clinic, email Elyssia at anandamayaayurveda@gmail.com.
