Winter Workshop Series

Prose Writing Workshop with Nick Jaina

DATE: Saturday January 21st

TIME: 10am-2pm

TITLE: Prose Writing with Nick Jaina

COST: $30

Nick Jaina is a musician and writer from Portland, Oregon. His new album Brutal Lives is out on Fluff & Gravy Records. It is available on Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp, and wherever digital albums are sold. There will be an album release performance at the Liquor Store in Portland on October 6th.
He is a co-founder and musical director of the Satellite Ballet and Collective in New York City. He has composed the music for three ballets and three contemporary dances with that group, featuring dancers from the New York City Ballet, Ten Hairy Legs, and Juilliard, performing at the Baryshnikov Center and the Joyce Theater. Their most recent performance was two sold-out shows at Brooklyn Academy of Music in May 2014. Of that show, the New York Times wrote, “[The] pure, pungent, earthy music for strings, piano, and percussion… was the most physically bracing part of the night.”

He released his first book, Get It While You Can, a work of non-fiction, through Perfect Day Publishing in January 2015. It was a finalist for the 2016 Oregon Book Awards.

The Pining Hearts officially became a band in January of 2016, playing their first show to a sold-out crowd at the Alberta Street Pub late March . The originals coming out of the group are dance-y and upbeat, but in the same breath have a dark and surf-y vibe.kauri-spare-room-lg

Traveling, creating, and sharing original live music are a few essential ingredients for the enrichment of humanity.  Norman Baker plays homage to this fact by introducing new and old songs to as many communities as possible. His new album utilizes undertones of pedal steel,mandolin, banjo, upright bass, clarinet, and of course an onslaught of acoustic and electric guitars telling stories of loss, loss prevention, camping, driving without cell phones, childlike innocence, home towns, and walking till your shoes wear through. When not traveling and playing with his full band, Norman Baker & The Backroads, he’s traveling and playing solo acoustic in far off amazing places such as The Sou’Wester, where he’s been visiting with his family since he was a child.
