His performances have been compared to those of legends like Leo Kottke\, John Hartford\, a nd David Bromberg for their mix of virtuosity and playfulness and his song s have been compared to those of writers\, Bob Dylan and John Prine for th eir humor\, introspection and philosophical nature.\nHis 5th record\, Moti vational Speakeasy\, released last September\, features only Jordan\, his voice and his guitar.

Those who have followed her nearly 20-year career\, know the thing that stands out about McNally is the timelessness and effortlessness of he r work. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has wri tten\, recorded\, and toured\, McNally continues to turn out great music t hat crosses many genres. McNally’s music career began on the jam band cir cuit of the 1990’s with bands like Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks. She w rites original music as well as she interprets the songs of others. With a top tier musicality to her craft\, a soul stirring voice that immediately grabs one by the heart strings\, and a troubadour’s wanderlust\, not to m ention that she is also an excellent electric guitar player\, McNally know s she can serve up a song much like her anti-hero heroes J.J. Cale\, Tom W aits\, Bob Dylan. Dr. John\, and Jim Dickinson.\nOur host Bob Santelli wil l will talk to Shannon about her quiet but steady plodding through the man y layers of music business. And while she hasn’t yet been rewarded with ma ssive fame and fortune\, that slow burn has become the treasure in and of itself. Perhaps the music industry is finally catching up with her indepen dent spirit. We’ll explore that and more and hear Shannon perform at this special installment of American Strings. Joining Bob and Shannon in this special evening will be two special guests\, from right here at OSU:\nMari lyn Jordan is a jamband-inspired singer-songwriter who creates songs like impressionist paintings\, from her native rural Oregon. Drawing on themes of home\, hiding out\, and running like hell\, Jordan tells stories of bad ass adventures through this bittersweet life\, with intriguing stories\, a nd a soul-saving sense of humor. An OSU graduate student studying Nanci Gr iffith’s songwriting\, Marilyn is releasing her debut album titled “Both T hings 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 Montana just out side of Yellowstone. Daley has been playing guitar for four years and writ ing songs for two\, but grew up always listening to and playing music. Fio na loves and writes music because of the ability it has to connect people\ , no matter how different. In sharing pieces of her life through music\, s he hopes to do just that.\nRegarding tickets to this event: A ticket vendo r with which Oregon State University contracts is experiencing an outage.

\nZimmerman tours alm ost constantly\, taking his funny songs about fracking\, creationism\, mar ijuana laws\, government shutdown\, same-sex marriage\, guns\, taxes and a bstinence across the country\, often playing in some of the least Progress ive places in America for the most Progressive people there – the “Blue Do ts” he calls them. So this is his “Blue Dot Tour”. “I get accused of preac hing to the converted\,” he says\, “but I don’t think of it that way. I th ink of it as entertaining the troops.”
\nThe world is full of funny songs\, but Zimmerman’s hilarious\, rhyme-intensive originals are also incisive calls to action\, smart\, savv y and undeniable. The “Blue Dot Tour” is ninety minutes of these songs – f unny songs like “The Faucet’s on Fire!” and “I Want a Marriage Like They H ad In the Bible\,” heartfelt songs like “Hope\, Struggle and Change” and “ I Approve This Message.”
\nIn thirteen albums over twenty years\, Roy has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for Peace and Social Justice. His songs have been heard on H BO and Showtime. He has recorded for Warner/Reprise Records. He’s been pro filed on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Zimmerman’s YouTube videos have am assed over seven million views\, and he’s a featured blogger for the Huffi ngton Post.
\nSing Out! Magazi ne writes\, “Zimmerman is a guy on the left skewering folks on the right w ith rapier-sharp lyrics … underneath the caustic satire is a man who is su rprisingly optimistic.”

\nAfter thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands\, the Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio alb um while still maintaining their busy tour schedule.
\nHaving surviv ed the crushing impact of the lockdown on their industry they have returne d stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and ro ck music to as many people as they can.
\nThe band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar)\, Chas Waltz (Violin\, keys\, vocals)\, Justin Pecot (gu itar\, vocals)\, Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar).
\nWith a solid line up and a new batch of songs to play\, The YD are ex cited to bring live music back into people’s lives. 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 band who reminds the world h ow important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been thr ough” 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 recent years the Young Dubs h ave appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live\, had songs featured in TV s hows (Sons Of Anarchy\, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headline r and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul\ , Jethro Tull\, Johnny Lang\, Los Lobos\, Chris Isaak and many more.
\nAlthough the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called ‘Celtic Rock ’\, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly t here\, but it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows. After all\, several of the band members have no Irish root s of any kind. “That was always the idea”\, explains Roberts “The sound wa s intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds.

\nfeaturing Shannon McNally
\n
\nwith Marilyn Jordan and Fiona DaleyGRAMMY® Nominated Americana Musician Shannon McNally has been called a Zen-like\, post-Beat song poet. Those who ha ve followed her nearly 20-year career\, know the thing that stands out abo ut McNally is the timelessness and effortlessness of her work. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has written\, recorded\, a nd toured\, McNally continues to turn out great music that crosses many ge nres. McNally’s music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990’s with bands like Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks. She writes original musi c as well as she interprets the songs of others. With a top tier musicalit y to her craft\, a soul stirring voice that immediately grabs one by the h eart strings\, and a troubadour’s wanderlust\, not to mention that she is also an excellent electric guitar player\, McNally knows she can serve up a song much like her anti-hero heroes J.J. Cale\, Tom Waits\, Bob Dylan. D r. John\, and Jim Dickinson.
\nOur ho st Bob Santelli will will talk to Shannon about her quiet but steady p lodding through the many layers of music business. And while she hasn’t ye t been rewarded with massive fame and fortune\, that slow burn has become the treasure in and of itself. Perhaps the music industry is finally catch ing up with her independent spirit. We’ll explore that and more and hear S hannon perform at this special installment of American Strings. Joi ning Bob and Shannon in this special evening will be two special guests\, from right here at OSU:
\nMarilyn Jordan is a jamband-inspired sin ger-songwriter who creates songs like impressionist paintings\, from her n ative rural Oregon. Drawing on themes of home\, hiding out\, and running l ike hell\, Jordan tells stories of badass adventures through this bittersw eet life\, with intriguing stories\, and a soul-saving sense of humor. An OSU graduate student studying Nanci Griffith’s songwriting\, Marilyn is re leasing her debut album titled “Both Things Are True\,” on March 3.
\n< p>Fiona Daley is a freshman in the College of Liberal Arts . She was born and raised in a small town in Montana just outside of Yello wstone. Daley has been playing guitar for four years and writing songs for two\, but grew up always listening to and playing music. Fiona loves and writes music because of the ability it has to connect people\, no matter h ow different. In sharing pieces of her life through music\, she hopes to d o just that.\nRegarding tickets to this event: A ticket vendor with which Oregon State University contracts is experiencin g an outage.

\nSince I a m a “contraholic\,” I can often be found any given weekend dancing or call ing a contra dance. My inspiration for calling comes from Nils Fredland\, whose callers’ workshop at American Week (BACDS) in 2012 spurred me down t he caller’s path.
\nWhen calling\, I consider myself a conduit betwe en the dancers and the band\, helping to channel the joy of the musicians ’ music through flowing\, interesting dances.

< span style='color: #000000\; font-family: arial\, sans-serif\;'>Featuring Jon Neff on guitar\, Syd Newell on fiddle\, and Meg Tapley on flute\, The Hat Band plays for contradances throughout Portland and the Pacific Northw est. Dancers love their diversity (traditional\, rags\, blues\, swing\, kl ezmer)\, their three-part harmonies\, and their unique chemistry. Jon\, Sy d\, and Meg also play in The Portland Megaband and various other local ban ds.

\nMost weekends\, and sometimes on weekdays\, I can be found in a dance hall somewhere calling\, playing\, doing sound\, or co ntra dancing. I also play percussion once or twice a year with The Portla nd Megaband\, a 75-80 member contra orchestra!!
\nThe Pacific NW is such a terrific place to live! It’s great for calling and playing oppo rtunities. In addition to established contra dances\, I also enjoy calling for parties\, weddings and community dances.
\nI’ve called dances f rom coast to coast for events ranging from large to small\, novice to expe rienced\, in a driveway to very large dance halls. My goal is to call fun accessible dances with clear concise teaching\, always with a good-natured \, easy-going style.
