On July 25, 2012, Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe will host live music and boat demos on the back lawn behind the store, on the banks of the Deschutes River. From 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Tumalo Creek’s fleet of 50 demo boats will be available to try for free with plenty of paddling experts on hand to answer any questions and get boaters comfortable out on the water.

The music starts at 7 p.m., and with Oregon’s favorite duo of sirens, the Shook Twins on the bill, the whole family will be out groovin’ in the grass as the sun sets over the Cascade Mountains.

Mark your calendars for other Pickin’ & Paddlin’ dates this summer on August 29 and September 19.

One of the primary goals of the Pickin’ and Paddlin’ series is to raise awareness about the safety hazards of the Colorado Bridge and raise money for improvements. The BPTA is working with Bend Parks and Rec, the Old Mill District and many other public and private entities in hopes to transform the bridge into a public whitewater play park.

Special thanks to Deschutes Brewery and Cascade Lakes Brewing for donating the kegs for this event.

3158 E Burnside Portland OR 97214 US (503) 231-8926
Price: Free

Community Day/Songwriters Circle with Laurel Brauns, Jim Bolland, and Jack McMahon

 

Record stores were the community centers for many cities and towns around the country, especially in the late ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. They were a place where community in the love of music brought people together. Friendships were made and partners in life were found as people shared their interest and love of music. On Community Day, there will be free refreshments, special one-day deals, live music, and a variety of unique events throughout the year. Monday, April 2nd will be the next Community Day and will include the Songwriters’ Circle at 7:00 PM.

Laurel Brauns: "With equal hints of dusky bluegrass and clarion Celtic folk, Brauns has written a batch of tunes that are brimming with earthy pulchritude, highlighted by her remarkable vocals and subtle but involving production from Portland Cello Project's Douglas Jenkins. Remarkable songs like the gamboling "Maps" and the stirring, album-opening title track prove that Brauns has made a record destined to become an evergreen.” -Ned Lannamann, The Portland Mercury

Jim Bolland grew up around New York City playing jug band, folk and blues music in bands that almost no one remembers today. After a stint in the Bay Area playing with such notables as the Spin Cats (of Berkeley), Jim found his way to Oregon in 1979. After performing for several years as part of the surprising Rustic Brothers he helped found Blackfish, northern Oregon’s first Cajun/Zydeco band. Jim continues to write songs rooted in the traditional sounds that have captivated him since he was a teenager. 

Jack McMahon is a performing songwriter as well host and organizer of the Music Millennium Songwriters’ Showcase. McMahon has been a working musician for all of his adult life and over the years has fronted some of Portland's more notable bands (Tracks, The Chameleons, Jack McMahon & Friends). From his early days in New Jersey and New York to his residency in the Rose City, Jack's penchant for catchy hooks and emotionally charged lyrics have made him a favorite of long time fans and neophytes alike. He has released three CDs to date; Better Late (1982), Toe The Line (2000) and The Man That Love Forgot (2007). He performs regularly with his four-piece band (Jack McMahon Band) and does solo acoustic shows as well.

Ella Street Social Club

Laurel w/ Audrey Ryan and Moon in Light - 8 p.m. - 11 p.m.

714 SW 20th Place Portland OR (503) 227-0116
Price: $5

Yay, my buddy Audrey is coming to Portland. She is a wonderful singer/songwriter in the indie vein from Boston, and a dear friend of mine from my east coast days. She just published an awesome book called The Need to Be Heard, put out by Burst and Bloom, and her most recent album is called "Thick Skin" which she put out last year.

Tim Emerson, also originally from the east coast, but a Portlander for quite some time now, is the band the Moon in Light. I think Tim is one of the most talented people on the planet and his songwriting and his voice are otherworldly.

Overall, this is a really strong bill and I'm psyched to be on it!

Alberta Street Pub

House of Snow CD Release - Portland - 8 p.m.

1036 NE Alberta St Portland OR 97201 US 503-284-7665
Price: $5 or Free with CD $15

Portland, OR – November 3, 2011 – Laurel Brauns’ voice can strike you like sunlight shooting through a hundred bits of stained glass.  In certain moments it’s a multi-hued tremolo, colored with an indefinable accent from… from… from someplace cool and northern… it’s like the peaty glow of scotch whisky, like the singing of a Druid, maybe… It’s the quality that drew some of Portland’s most notable talent together on her fourth and latest album, “House of Snow.” 

Produced and arranged by Douglas Jenkins, creative director of the Portland Cello Project, “House of Snow” features such musicians as Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists), Skip VonKuske (Vagabond Opera), Anna Fritz (Portland Cello Project) and Sam Cooper (Horse Feathers).  A CD release show is set for December 9 at the Alberta Street Pub (1036 NE Alberta St. / 9:30pm / 21+ / $5 cover / Free with $15 CD purchase) with Sam Cooper, Anna Fritz, and other special guests.  More information at www.laurelbrauns.com.

Recorded in a tiny Portland nursery school, “House of Snow” covers a full sonic and emotional range from the irresistibly snappy, spring-in-your-step ditty “Puppy Love” to the swirling azure cello tones and floating chorus of “Doldrums” which skillfully braids three metaphors – love ended, plastic culture, and the literal nature of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch – into pure poignancy:

 

North Pacific suspended in the gyre

Vast trove of treasures we once desired

All our secrets are on display now

By a leviathan we can’t throw away now

Bend's Big Fat Tire Tour

6 ish

Bend OR 97701
Price: $20.00 or free for participants

The Harlots play the Deschutes Mountain Room on Saturday night after mountain bikers come off the trail from 100 mile rides.

Amy Mitchell who is the cellist for the Harlots, is also an avid tandem mountain bike rider. By avid I mean, she and her boyfriend Henry are the tandem single-speed champions of the world - no joke.

Anyway, I fear she almost quit being my friend when I signed us up for this gig because it means she will only be doing the 50 mile ride that Saturday with Henry as opposed the 100 miles. In my mind playing the cello is as heroic as riding an extra 50 miles, BUT riding is what she lives for and it means a lot to me that she'll be up there on stage with me entertaining ya all. Very many strong sweaty dirty men are both compelling and well... kind of intimidating!

I can't really stay away from this place as it is dangerously close to my house and the Apocalypse IPA is this perfect balance of crazy hoppy mixed with citrus and fruit, cutting out that medicinal bitterness that characterizes a good majority of NW IPAs. But I digress...

This will be a full band show on a sunny September afternoon during Roots Fest. The deck is always packed - it's a party everyone is invited to.

This will be a full band show with John and Amy.

The Red Door (NH)

Hush Hush Sweet Harlot music series - 8 p.m. - 11 p.m.

107 State Street Portsmouth NH 03801 US (603) 373.6827
Price: $5

I have a lot to share about the Red Door and this music series, but I'll keep it brief:

After visiting NH after college in Oregon, I went to a show here and decided to move back east because I was so impressed with the quality and intimacy of the Portsmouth music scene. I eventually moved down to Portsmouth and lived in a funky mansion with four other people across the street from the Red Door. I took over booking the series for two years and learned a lot about the music business and met many beautiful and talented people.

I am hearted to see the series has lived on, now with its fifth booker: my good friend Tristian Law.

Actually, I don't even know if this show is for sure going to happen, but I'm going sailing with my dad in Maine for four days and I'm hoping we can dock the boat at Prescott Park, walk down the street to the Red Door, and I can just strum a few new ones for ya all... just like olde times. And then I shall fall in love all over again with Strawberry Banke. What do you say, Portsmouth?

Friday, August 27 | 6pm: Up (PG)

From Disney/Pixar comes Up, a comedy adventure about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell. You're invited on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth.

Tower Theatre

opening for Horse Feathers! - 7 p.m.

835 NW Wall St Bend OR 97701 US (541) 317-0700
Price: $15

Henry Abel, who has been putting on many cool events in town for years (COTA movie night for instance) has started a music series to bring the best Portland indie rock bands to the Tower Theatre in Bend. He has called it PDXchange Program and the idea is to bring a genre of music to town that has been somewhat neglected in the past, and match them up with like-minded acts in Bend.

We are very honored to be opening up for one of our favorite band's Horsefeathers, and Jenny Harada of the Central Oregon Symphony will also be joining us on stage for a few.
