Please join us in welcoming to The Sou’wester, our current Artist-In-Resident, Timothy Root this Thursday May 28th at 8pm for a showing of his new work. Tim will delight us with spoken word, harmonica, songs and a display of spectacular collages of the mind.
Timothy “Blacklung” Root, somewhere along a rather crooked road, made a right turn and ended up at the Sou’wester. Lost in the everlasting present moment, Timothy begins to create the collages of his mind. Paint will fly, colliding with magazines, to create pictures out of thin air. The harmonica will blow and there will be sonnets at 7 in the sauna. We hear Tim say, “Yes my good friends, join in the spectacle.”
While embracing the psychedelic revival of the millennial generation, this 5 piece continues to honor 50’s and 60’s rock n’ roll. The Moon By You sound is akin to a spaceship landing in a swamp while Elvis’ ghost croons from a cypress tree under a full moon. Lead vocalist and front woman Sarah Kue guides her motley crew of band mates over desert landscapes and dream worlds. Her partner, Tyler Verign, holds the rhythm section down as he has since Kue and himself started Moon By You in 2010.
Gerle Haggard Band brings the best of Merle Haggard’s timeless music to audiences who’ve been loving songs like Mama Tried, Misery and Gin and Working Man Blues for nearly five decades, as well as introducing these and many more classics to a whole new audience. This eight-piece, all-women band features a terrific line-up of musicians who weave beautiful instrumentation, tight harmonies and a big heap of showmanship into full throttled entertainment event.
Gather in Seaview for Music, Something Cool, at the Sou’wester! Tradition lives on in this historic lodge. Call 360-642-2542 for details or email souwesterlodge@gmail.com.
An intimate living room show in the afternoon with Colleen and special guest Peter Broderick. All you need to do is reserve a room at The Sou’wester on this weekend to attend. Additionally, if you stay Saturday night, your room on Sunday night will be $25 off. We’ll have a home-cooked community dinner after the show: RSVP to beaconsound@gmail.com. It will likely cost around $15, payable that evening. This special Sunday event is brought to us by Beacon Sound, a Portland record store and label.
Three For Silver represents a curious hybrid of acoustic music. The twin melodies of Willo Sertain’s vocals and Greg Allison’s violin glide atop of chugging polyrhythms of Lucas Warford’s homemade bass instruments and the idiosyncratic style in which they are played. Described by Baby Gramps as “The acid baby of Tom Waits ad Vicgtor Wooten”. Three For Silver combines a gritty aesthetic, world folk traditions, and virtuosic technique with a modern songwriting sense.
