\nThe webcast event is part of CLA’s American String Series. Ho sted by OSU Director of Popular Music and Performing Arts Bob Santelli\, e ach segment of American Strings is comprised of a conversation and music b y successful artists from a variety of genres\, making for a one of a kind opportunity to appreciate and know better the great American music tradit ion.
\nLos Lobos (“The Wolves”) is an American rock band from East L os Angeles. Their music is influenced by rock and roll\, Tex-Mex and tradi tional Mexican music. The band gained international stardom in 1987\, when their cover version of Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba” topped the charts in th e U.S.\, the UK and several other countries. Hidalgo (vocals\, guitar\, ac cordion\, fiddle\, requinto jarocho) and Pérez\, Jr. (vocals\, drums\, gui tar\, jarana huasteca) are two of the founding members of the band and wro te most of their songs together.
\nHidalgo he has been featured on a lbums by T-Bone Burnett\, Ry Cooder\, Roy Orbison\, Dolly Parton\, Bonnie Raitt\, Paul Simon\, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. He is also a member of the g roup Los Super Seven\, and of the Latin Playboys\, a side project with oth er members of Los Lobos. Pérez\, the band’s primary lyricist\, started out with Los Lobos playing the jarana\, a small Mexican guitar\, and singing. As the band ventured more into Norteño music and rock he became the drumm er\, first playing with just a snare drum. Eventually he moved to the fron t of the stage and started playing guitar again. Pérez has also been a mem ber of the Latin Playboys. Additionally he paints and has been the art dir ector and artistic supervisor on many of Los Lobos’ albums.
\nHidalg o and Pérez will talk with Bob about their longtime collaboration and uniq ue experience in fusing cultures and crossing genres\, and play some of th eir music.

Oregon State University presents Andrew Bird and Jimbo Mathus on the next installment of the College of Liberal Arts’ American Strings series on Tuesday\, May 12 at 5 p.m.
\nThe webcast event is hosted by OSU Director of Popular Music and Performing Arts Bob Santelli. Each segment of American Strings is comprised of a conversation and music by successful artists from a variety of genres\, making for a one of a ki nd opportunity to appreciate and know better the great American music trad ition.
\nAndrew Bird is an internationally acclaimed musician\, song writer and composer who has released sixteen records. He has performed aro und the world at festivals and at renowned venues including Carnegie Hall\ , Sydney Opera House and Walt Disney Concert Hall. A TED Talks presenter\, a New Yorker Festival guest\, and an op-ed contributor for the New York T imes\, Bird also made his professional acting debut in the cast of Fargo’s fourth installment\, which premiered on FX in the fall of 2020. Bird’s 20 19 album\, My Finest Work Yet\, was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 6 2nd Annual Grammy Awards.
\nJimbo Mathus is an American singer-songw riter and guitarist\, best known for his work with the gold and platinum-c ertified swing revival band\, Squirrel Nut Zippers. The group toured exten sively throughout the 1990s\, including performances for the 1996 Summer O lympics\, The Tonight Show\, Late Night with David Letterman\, Dick Clark’ s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and more. Since the early 2000’s\, Mathus’ career has included work for Buddy Guy and Elvis Costello\, and a vast collectio n of solo projects that have led to his music being heard on Shameless\, R ay Donovan and more.
\nIn many ways\, Mathus and Bird are the yin an d yang of contemporary roots music. Mathus hails from Mississippi and Bird grew up in Chicago. Mathus was self-schooled by an inquisitive nature and being around other musicians. Bird formally studied music at Northwestern University. Music brought them together 25 years ago\, and an equal devot ion to their craft and mutual respect for each other as musicians has nour ished their long friendship\, resulting in numerous collaborations. Now\, after a near 20-year hiatus from working together\, the Mathus and Bird du o have been at it again with the March release of a new album\, “These 13. ”
\nWritten and produced from 2018 through 2020\, These 13 captures “the warm first-take feel of two old friends having a fine old time” (MOJO ). Mathus and Bird co-wrote every song through an exchange of voice memos\ , verses and ideas. Working with producer Mike Viola they recorded the LP live to tape\, playing and singing from opposite sides of a single microph one.
\nJoin us for a live\, intimate conversation where Santelli tal ks to the duo about their friendship\, the fun they had together in the ma king of this album\, and the poignant story behind its opening track\, “Po or Lost Souls.” Bird and Mathus will also share some of their music in a p re-recorded video they made just for American Strings.

gatherings\, small farms\, campesino & immigrant communities\, dinner par
ties\, nursing homes\, women’s shelters\, etc. to bring joy and levity int
o the air! We will be taking this show on a month long tour throughout the
Pacific Northwest this summer.
What the heck is a crane circus
show?!
\nWell\, we bought a flatbed truck to serve as our stage
as our stage\, a baby grand piano for live music….and have mounted a 30’ h
and cranked crane on the truck to serve as our aerial rigging point and po
int of interest for other shenanigans!
What will the show be li
ke?
\nWe are a collection of 7 performers from Bellingham\, Seatt
le and afar. We are aerialists\, musicians\, acrobats\, clowns and illusio
nists. This 1 hour all ages show will be whimsical\, beautiful\, hilarious
and mostly word free so that it can be accessible for those of all langua
ges.
How do you all fit in one truck?
\nWe don’t!
\nFor the first half of the tour\, a few of us will be in the truck and t
he rest of the ensemble on BICYCLES\, to reduce emissions and incre
ase the fun!
How much is the show?
\nThe majority of o
ur shows are by donation or free. This year has been quite a doozy for peo
ple and communities everywhere. Our goal this summer is to bring the joy o
f circus to anyone and everyone\, regardless of money.

\nJoin host Bob Santelli as we kick off another g reat season of American Strings with a special evening\, outdoors\, in the Student Experience Center Plaza on the beautiful OSU mai n campus in Corvallis. Bob will talk with the popular Portland-based indie -folk band SHOOK TWINS about their creative p rocess and musical lives. Shook Twins will also perform live as a trio com prised of identical twin sisters Katelyn and Laurie Shook with longtime ba ndmate Niko “Slice” Daoussis.
\nShook Twins’ music incorporates acoustic instruments including banjo \, guitar\, mandolin\, glockenspiel and their signature gold egg\, in a un ique\, contemporary sound that has never really been confined to the indie -folk world in which they’ve become well-known artists. Always performing with an adventurous spirit\, the sisters are never shy to incorporate beat boxing\, banjo-head drumming\, vocals using a repurposed telephone as a mi crophone\, and other ambient sources within their music arrangements.
\nSince the release of their debut album\, “You Can Have The Rest\,” Sh ook Twins have shared the stage with artists including Laura Veirs\, Mason Jennings\, Sarah Jarosz\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Crooked Still and many ot hers. They’ve appeared at premiere festivals including Summer Camp Music F estival (Ill.)\, Arise Music Festival (Colo.)\, High Sierra Music Festival (Cali.)\, Northwest String Summit (Ore.)\, Revival Fest (Minn.)\, Suwanne e Hulaween (Fla.)\, and have toured Germany and the U.K.
\nTheir rec ently released fourth album\, “Some Good Lives\,” pays homage to the peopl e who have influenced their lives and become chapters in Shook Twins’ stor y. Throughout the album’s 14 tracks\, Katelyn and Laurie pay homage to a n umber of those people — from a late grandpa and godfather\, to Bernie Sand ers.
\nHosted by Bob Santelli\, OSU director of popular music and pe rforming arts\, the conversation and live performance that comprises each segment of American Strings makes for a one of a kind opportunity to learn about the creative process\, the performers and the influencers behind th e great American music tradition.
\nSeating on the plaza is free and on a first come basis. The SEC Plaza is located between the Memori al Union and the Student Experience Center on Jefferson Street. Parking in permit restricted lots is unrestricted after 5 p.m. Future performances t his season will head back to the Majestic Theatre\, 115 SW 2nd Street in Corvallis\, and will be posted at even ts.oregonstate.edu.

Their s tirring concerts have earned them a huge body of fans over the years. But as gifted songwriters Robin and Linda have earned an even rarer honor\, th e devotion and deep respect of their musical peers. As The Washington Post put it\, “The Williamses are able to sum up a life in a few details with moving completeness.” The list of artists who have covered their original songs include some of the greats of country music\, names like Emmy Lou Ha rris\, Tom T.Hall\, George Hamilton IV\, Tim & Mollie O’Brien\, Mary Chapi n Carpenter\, Kathy Mattea and The Seldom Scene. One of their most request ed songs\, “Don’t Let Me Come a Stranger\,” has been recorded by the well- known Irish singer\, Mary Black.

nger\, songwriter and guitarist who combines witty\, well-crafted songs wi
th deft fingerstyle and flatpick guitar playing. His performances have bee
n compared to those of legends like Leo Kottke\, John Hartford\, and David
Bromberg for their mix of virtuosity and playfulness and his songs have b
een compared to those of writers\, Bob Dylan and John Prine for their humo
r\, introspection and philosophical nature.
\nHis 5th record\, Motiva
tional Speakeasy\, released last September\, features only Jordan\, his vo
ice and his guitar. It was produced by Kenneth Pattengale of the Milk Cart
on Kids and has been garnering rave reviews from outlets such as NPR Music
\, PopMatters\, American Songwriter\, and No Depression. From the classic
Mississippi John Hurt style melodic blues of “Matter of Time” and “Goin on
Down”\, to the dissonant Tom Waits-like shuffle of “Creation’s Done” to t
he philosophical early Dylanesque chatter of “Walkin'” and “Where I’m At”\
, Tice spins his influences into a variety of highly personal\, well-craft
ed songs. In addition\, the album contains 3 instrumental tracks where Tic
e showcases his narrative guitar-playing and composing with performances t
hat range from British Isles inspired whistlefulness (“Stratford Waltz”) t
o quirky ragtime (“Bachelorette Party”\, “Ghost Story”).
\nFolk fans
might recognize Jordan Tice as a member of the instrumental bluegrass supe
rgroup\, Hawktail as well as his sideman work with many other artists in t
he folk/bluegrass genre such as Dave Rawlings\, Andrew Marlin (Mandolin Or
ange)\, Yola\, Tony Trischka\, and comedian Steve Martin.
Traditio nal music is not static\; it shifts with the times\, uncovering new meanin gs in old words\, new ways of talking about the communal pathways that led us to where we are today. For master musicians Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves\, traditional banjo and fiddle music is a way to interpret our uncertain times\, to draw artistic inspiration and power from the sources of meaning in their lives. History\, family\, literature\, live performan ce\, and environmental instability all manifest in the sounds\, feelings\, and sensations that permeate their music. Their 2022 sophomore album\, Hu rricane Clarice is a direct infusion of centuries of matrilineal folk wisd om\, a fiery breath of apocalyptic energy.
\nAllison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves are both l eaders in the young generation of roots musicians\, de Groot being known f or intricate clawhammer banjo work with Bruce Molsky\, and Hargreaves brin ging powerhouse fiddling to the stage with Laurie Lewis and David Rawlings in addition to teaching bluegrass fiddle at UNC-Chapel Hill. Their first self-titled album released in 2019 garnered attention from CBC Q\, Paste M agazine and Rolling Stone Country\, earning the duo the Independent Music Awards “Best Bluegrass Album” and a nomination from IBMA for “Best Liner N otes of the Year.” The duo has been booked at festivals and venues such as Newport Folk Festival\, Savannah Music Festival\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\ , the Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh\, NC\, and Red Wing Roots Music Fest ival. Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves create a sound that is adventu rous\, masterful\, and original\, as they expand on the eccentricities of old songs\, while never losing sight of what makes them endure.

As with her last release\, “Everyday St reet\,” Lucy has chosen to make her new album available only through her w ebsite and at shows\, and not on any streaming services.

\n“You’re brilliant. Just brilliant!” — Terry Jones\, Monty Python em>
\nTom Lehrer him self says\, “I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to com edy songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme\, they don’t just ‘rhyne.'”
\nJoni Mitchell says\, “Roy’s lyrics move beyond poetry and a chieve perfection.”
\nHe spent the Comedy Boom years of the Eighties doing stand-up in San Francisco\, s haring stages with George Carlin\, Bill Maher\, Kate Clinton\, Dennis Mill er and many others. He wrote all the material for his funny folk music qua rtet The Foremen\, recording two albums for Warner/Reprise Records. He’s d one several shows with The Pixies’ Frank Black\, swapping songs in a solo acoustic setting.
\n“Roy Zimme rman simultaneously inspires me and makes me laugh my ass off\,” says come dian/author Paul Krassner.
\nZimmerman tours almost constantly\, taking his funny songs about f racking\, creationism\, marijuana laws\, government shutdown\, same-sex ma rriage\, guns\, taxes and abstinence across the country\, often playing in some of the least Progressive places in America for the most Progressive people there – the “Blue Dots” he calls them. So this is his “Blue Dot Tou r”. “I get accused of preaching to the converted\,” he says\, “but I don’t think of it that way. I think of it as entertaining the troops.” p>\n
The world is full of funny songs\, b ut Zimmerman’s hilarious\, rhyme-intensive originals are also incisive cal ls to action\, smart\, savvy and undeniable. The “Blue Dot Tour” is ninety minutes of these songs – funny songs like “The Faucet’s on Fire!” and “I Want a Marriage Like They Had In the Bible\,” heartfelt songs like “Hope\, Struggle and Change” and “I Approve This Message.”
\nIn thirteen albums over twenty years\, Roy has bro ught the sting of satire to the struggle for Peace and Social Justice. His songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime. He has recorded for Warner/Rep rise Records. He’s been profiled on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Zimmerm an’s YouTube videos have amassed over seven million views\, and he’s a fea tured blogger for the Huffington Post.

After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands\, the Young Dubliners have begun wor k on their tenth studio album while still maintaining their busy tour sche dule.
\nHaving survived the crushing impact of the lockdown on their industry they have returned stronger than ever and determined to bring th eir fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can.
\nThe band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar)\, Chas Waltz (Violin\, keys\, vocals)\, Justin Pecot (guitar\, vocals)\, Dave Ingraham (drums) and Etha n Jones (bass guitar).
\nWith a solid line up and a new batch of son gs to play\, The YD are excited to bring live music back into people’s liv es. Following their recent signing to the Skyline music agency\, new dates are being added daily as the world reopens.
\n“We want to be the ba nd who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity aft er what we’ve all been through” says Roberts.
\nThe Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. The set on the upcoming dates will draw from all their albums and include unreleased new material.
\nIn rec ent years the Young Dubs have appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live\, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy\, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of a rtists as Collective Soul\, Jethro Tull\, Johnny Lang\, Los Lobos\, Chris Isaak and many more.
\nAlthough the Young Dubliners sound is most co mmonly called ‘Celtic Rock’\, that label can often be misleading. The Iris h influence is certainly there\, but it’s not the only influence that burs ts through on their albums or live shows. After all\, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind. “That was always the idea”\, expl ains Roberts “The sound was intended to be a hybrid because we all come fr om different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland\, a lot of the mus ic I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all\, but when I got here\, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music. In truth th e Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Eve ryone writes now so you never know what you’ll end up with”
\n“Their sound defies categorization. The Young Dubliners can be seen as Ireland’s answer to Los Lobos\, with a similar combination of tradition al folk music\, raucous electric rock\, and forward-thinking experimentati on.” –Allmusic.com

While much of Kalos’ material is rooted in traditional forms\, this d oes not limit the trio’s scope and collective imagination is the primary e xpression in its music. Kalos’ new album\, Headland\, (set for release in Spring 2023) does not shy away from anything in favor of a certain directi on. Rather\, it is a body of music that\, even if sometimes in the abstrac t\, creates an emotional narrative. The name Headland\, which refers to a point where land meets sea\, is representative of the exploratory space Ka los seeks in its arrangements and live performances. All of the various el ements at play gather together into a collective mood\, creating an enviro nment of Kalos’ design and a memorable live music experience. As a critic for the UK’s Folkwords wrote: “There s a certain spontaneity at work as th e three musicians alternately contest and duel\, combine and coalesce to b ring their talents together.” More information on the trio can be found on its website.
\nHere are links t o a couple of Kalos performance videos

\nfeaturing Shannon McNally
\nwith < strong>Marilyn Jordan
< b>GRAMMY® Nominated Americana Musician Shannon McNally has been called a Zen-like\, post-B eat song poet. Those who have followed her nearly 20-year career\, know th e thing that stands out about McNally is the timelessness and effortlessne ss of her work. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has written\, recorded\, and toured\, McNally continues to turn out great music that crosses many genres. McNally’s music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990’s with bands like Robert Randolph and Derek Truck s. She writes original music as well as she interprets the songs of others . With a top tier musicality to her craft\, a soul stirring voice that imm ediately grabs one by the heart strings\, and a troubadour’s wanderlust\, not to mention that she is also an excellent electric guitar player\, McNa lly knows she can serve up a song much like her anti-hero heroes J.J. Cale \, Tom Waits\, Bob Dylan. Dr. John\, and Jim Dickinson.
\nOur host Bob Santelli will will talk to Shannon a bout her quiet but steady plodding through the many layers of music busine ss. And while she hasn’t yet been rewarded with massive fame and fortune\, that slow burn has become the treasure in and of itself. Perhaps the musi c industry is finally catching up with her independent spirit. We’ll explo re that and more and hear Shannon perform at this special installment of A merican Strings. Joining Bob and Shannon in this special evening wi ll be two special guests\, from right here at OSU:
\nMarilyn Jordan is a jamband-inspired singer-songwriter who creates songs like impressio nist paintings\, from her native rural Oregon. Drawing on themes of home\, hiding out\, and running like hell\, Jordan tells stories of badass adven tures through this bittersweet life\, with intriguing stories\, and a soul -saving sense of humor. An OSU graduate student studying Nanci Griffith’s songwriting\, Marilyn is releasing her debut album titled “Both Things Are True\,” on March 3.
\nFiona Daley is a freshman in the College of Liberal Arts. She was born and raised in a small town in Mo ntana just outside of Yellowstone. Daley has been playing guitar for four years and writing songs for two\, but grew up always listening to and play ing music. Fiona loves and writes music because of the ability it has to c onnect people\, no matter how different. In sharing pieces of her life thr ough music\, she hopes to do just that.

Choro is a Brazilian music s tyle whose parents were Portuguese harmonies and African rhythms. In turn and in time\, choro gave birth to other Brazilian forms like samba and bos sa. Choro tunes are lively and lovely\, traditionally played in a small en semble. In that tradition\, CnC is a quartet of 7-string guitar\, 10-strin g bandolim\, clarinet\, and a hand drum called the pandeiro. We supplement the choro repertoire with songs from related Brazilian styles\, sung in P ortuguese.

Since I am a “contraholic\,” I can often be found any g iven weekend dancing or calling a contra dance. My inspiration for calling comes from Nils Fredland\, whose callers’ workshop at American Week (BACD S) in 2012 spurred me down the caller’s path.
\nWhen calling\, I con sider myself a conduit between the dancers and the band\, helping to chann el the joy of the musicians’ music through flowing\, interesting dances.< /p>\n

The musical evolution of Old Blind Dogs began in Aberdeen in 1992 wi th roots that grew from the eclectic music scene that flourished in the Gr anite City during the early 90’s. Four musicians from very different music al backgrounds came together to create a full-time professional touring ba nd with the aim of showcasing the rich tradition of songs and tunes of the North East of Scotland on an international stage.
\nLike many of t he early flag bearing Scottish folk bands\, the Old Blind Dogs line up has faced inevitable changes over the years but the core values at the band’s musical heart continue to beat strong. The current band line up has been settled for several years now and consists of four of Scotland’s finest tr aditional musicians at the top of their game. Original member Jonny Hardie (fiddle/vocals) is joined by Aaron Jones (cittern/guitar/vocals)\, Ali Hu tton (pipes/whistles) and Donald Hay (percussion/vocals) and collectively they comprise one of the hottest live tickets on the traditional Scottish music scene today.
\nAttendance is limited to 300 so get tickets early!

Hard Drive is a hard-driving aural modern traditional old time authentic millen nial bluegrass collective made up of Tatiana Hargreaves\, Aaron Tacke\, So nya Badigian\, and Nokosee Fields. From brother duets to raging fiddle tun es\, Hard Drive brings a sense of deep intuition and silliness to the worl d that encompasses old-time\, country\, and bluegrass.
\nThe Bluegrass Situation describes the band as “a delightful su bversion of our expectations of what traditional bluegrass is supposed to be.”
\nHard Drive serves up a “high-octane bl uegrass-old-time style\, delivered with deep intuitive insight\, manic exp loratory zeal and seriously powerhouse instrumental (and vocal) chops but also\, importantly\, with an abundant and overwhelming sense of fun.” [Fol k Radio UK].
\nThey float gently around a Ber muda-Triangle-type spacetime warp in central North Carolina\, and they are constantly expanding at the approximate pace of the universe.

Roy Zimmerman is a satirical songwriter in the Tom Lehrer/Phil Ochs tradition with a great gift for clev er and funny lyrics that really rhyme and an incredibly entertaining bante r between his song
\nRoy Zimmerman’s signature blend of heart
and hilarity
\nhas never been more necessary. In a career spanning m
ore
\nthan thirty years\, Roy’s songs have been heard on HBO and Show
time\, and his videos have
\ngarnered hundreds of millions of views.
Roy co-writes these songs with his wife Melanie Harby. Their song parody <
a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkU1ob_lHCw'>“Vote Him Away (The L
iar Tweets Tonight)” has had over 140 million views online
Tom Lehrer himself says\, “I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reint roducing literacy to comedy songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme\, they don’t just ‘rhyne.'”
\n< span style='color: #000000\;'>Joni Mitchell says\, “Roy’s lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection.”
\nHe spent the Comedy Boom years of the Eighties doing stand -up in San Francisco\, sharing stages with George Carlin\, Bill Maher\, Ka te Clinton\, Dennis Miller and many others. He wrote all the material for his funny folk music quartet The Foremen\, recording two albums for Warner /Reprise Records. He’s done several shows with The Pixies’ Frank Black\, s wapping songs in a solo acoustic setting.
\n“Roy Zimmerman simultaneously inspires me and makes me laugh my ass off\,” says comedian/author Paul Krassner.
\nZimmerman tours almost constantly\, taking his funny songs about fracking\, creationism\, marijuana laws\, governmen t shutdown\, same-sex marriage\, guns\, taxes and abstinence across the co untry\, often playing in some of the least Progressive places in America f or the most Progressive people there – the “Blue Dots” he calls them. So t his is his “Blue Dot Tour”. “I get accused of preaching to the converted\, ” he says\, “but I don’t think of it that way. I think of it as entertaini ng the troops.”
\nThe world is full of funny songs\, but Zimmerman’s hilarious\, rhyme-intensive origina ls are also incisive calls to action\, smart\, savvy and undeniable. The “ Blue Dot Tour” is ninety minutes of these songs – funny songs like “The Fa ucet’s on Fire!” and “I Want a Marriage Like They Had In the Bible\,” hear tfelt songs like “Hope\, Struggle and Change” and “I Approve This Message. ”
\nIn thirteen albums over tw enty years\, Roy has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for Peace and Social Justice. His songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime. He has recorded for Warner/Reprise Records. He’s been profiled on NPR’s “All Thi ngs Considered.” Zimmerman’s YouTube videos have amassed over seven millio n views\, and he’s a featured blogger for the Huffington Post.
\nSing Out! Magazine writes\, “Zimmerman is a guy on the left skewering folks on the right with rapier-sharp lyric s … underneath the caustic satire is a man who is surprisingly optimistic. ”

For nearly fou r decades\, Laurie Lewis has gathered fans and honors for her powerful and emotive voice and her versatile\, dynamic songwriting. She is a sought-af ter recording producer and an equally skilled teacher and mentor.
\n\nAnd she is an inspiration and a ground-breaker – acr oss genres\, across geography and across gender barriers.
\nLaurie h as shown us how a woman can blend into any part of the classic bluegrass s inging trio\, and she showed us how a great voice could move fluidly betwe en bluegrass and other types of music. She showed us how a female fiddler could emulate the strength and grit of the early bluegrass musicians. She has shown how a Californian can appeal to traditional bluegrass audiences \, as well as winning acclaim in the worlds of Americana and folk music. p>\n
She has shown us how to lead bands of talented musicians – learning from them while helping them make their best music. And she has shown us how to thrive in a constantly changing musical environment – without ever sacrificing her art.

The name Cantrip is a n Old Scots word meaning a charm\, magic spell or piece of mischief and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns in their musical arrangem ents\, likewise the compelling potency of their musicianship. Swirling bor der pipes\, raging fiddle\, thunderous guitar and three rich voices blend to create a sound energetic enough to tear the roof off. Echoes can be hea rd of trad music from the 1960s and 70s\, but the years have slowly infest ed their music with the sounds of funk\, metal\, bluegrass\, swing\, and e ven klezmer. After 20 years of touring\, Cantrip has found a character lik e no other. Dan Houghton\, Jon Bews\, Alasdair White and Eric McDonald sti r the elements in a witches’ cauldron\, slowly coalescing into chaotic ord er.

Great songs never die but they sure c ould get played more! The Songtenders do just that–they echo songs from th e past with sweet harmony and hearty respect. Singer Melanie Reid and pian o player Evelyn Idzerda started The Songtenders after an epic late-night j am. The music that resulted made them realize their chemistry is perfectly aligned for giving service to songs they love. Later\, to even better ser ve those songs\, they were joined by Luke Painter on electric guitar\, Bar bara Barry-Doyle on stand up bass\, and George Beekman on percussion. It’s always a treat when the Songtenders serve up their fun musical nostalgia!

The members of the Pringle Creek Ba nk have ben involved in various styles of folk music for a long time.
\nJeff Graham (fiddle\, string bass) started out flat picking on the gu itar\, played fiddle for contra dances in Alaska and currently plays strin g bass in the Salem Philharmonic Orchestra.
\nLouise Rothrock (strin g bass\, mandolin) was a clog dancer in Portland\, played electric bass in the Cajun band Blackfish\, and at present is concentrating on mandolin an d string bass.

\nDennis Rothrock (accordions\, banjo) has played piano accordion for contra dancing and Zydeco music\, as well as button accordi on for Cajun\, Irish\, and French Canadian. As a diversion\, he has lots o f fun playing the clawhammer banjo.
\nKoren Wake has only been calling contra da nces since 2022\, but she has been dancing\, loving\, and obsessing about contra since she was a child. Originally from New England\, she spent deca des analyzing the art and flow of contra and developing a deep understandi ng of the dance before she finally picked up a microphone in Seattle\, whe re she is now based. She has already shared stages with some of the hottes t bands in the Pacific Northwest\, and has quickly proven that’s exactly w here she belongs. She loves nothing more than to help dancers discover the patterns and connections of well-crafted choreography. Koren’s primary go al as a caller is to combine exquisite dance selection with clear and acce ssible teaching in order to bring dancers of all skill levels together on the floor.
