We present two fine local groups in this show. Mistral returns to our stage after a wonderful opening-act appearance last November. The group presents the village music of Brittany, Ireland, Central France and Olde England, as well as some original works composed in these styles. Their musical virtuosity and rich harmonies make for a thoroughly entertaining performance.
Fadin’ by 9, a bluegrass band based in Vancouver, offer hot pickin’, tight harmonies, and a mix of "bluegrassified" rock, folk, and bluegrass covers & originals. They create a unique, uplifting, high-energy sound that will keep your feet tapping all night long.
February is the month for songs of the sea. Lee Murdoch has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories on the inland seas of the Great Lakes. His musical arrangements of new and traditional folk ballads, chanteys and work songs about the Great Lakes illustrate the drama and inspiration in the lives of sailors and fishermen, lighthouse keepers, ghosts, shipwrecks, outlaws and everyday heroes.
Also appearing are Portland’s own Shanghaied on the Willamette. Jonathan Lay and Gordy Euler present songs and tunes "plundered from land and sea," including traditional Celtic, English, and Old-Time American music, especially music of the sea and waterways.
Long-time Portland favorites Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen have been performing together for 20 years, bringing together their love of traditional music and their wealth of original songs. Accompanying themselves with guitar, concertina and banjo, their live performances are known for rich harmony, compelling songs and a good dose of humor.
Joining them will be their friend, Don Lange. Long before the Dundee, OR resident became a respectable winemaker, he was writing and performing songs that were recorded by many of the greatest folk music luminaries.
$16 GA / $14 PFS Members / $8 Children 12-18 (Under 12 free)
Lou and Peter Berryman are musical humorists who have delighted nationwide audiences for more than thirty-five years. These two are originals, blending Midwestern culture with intelligent observation in a whimsical and wonderfully accessible performance. They have produced sixteen albums and three song books of their original and hilarious, quirky, yet oddly profound songs. Berryman songs are being sung around the world, by a legion of professional musicians from Peggy Seeger to Garrison Keillor, as well as shower singers everywhere.
