Join us June 17th, 2026 and enjoy acoustic Americana trio, Woodlander!
Full Spectrum Americana! Woodlander is a longstanding musical brotherhood, a trio of musicians who have played together since the 1970s, continually reinventing themselves as they’ve explored, and excelled at, new musical genres. Their music is an upbeat blend of folk, Irish, bluegrass, country, Cajun, swing, blues and reggae, among other roots of Americana music. They are the acoustic nucleus of the popular Northwest rock/country/bluegrass band called Wheatfield, which was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2011. As an acoustic Americana trio, they perform on a variety of instruments with rich three-part harmonies, with a strong tilt towards original songs and a well-developed talent for entertaining their audiences.
Woodlander consists of Kerry Canfield on bass guitar, upright bass, ukulele bass and synthesizer; Paul Douglas on guitar, fiddle, harmonica, synthesizer, bass guitar and banjo; and Will Hobbs on guitar, mandolin, Irish bouzouki, flute and harmonica. All three write, and Will has several local and national songwriting and lyric competition wins to his credit. With three singers and multi-instrumentalists, you can expect many three-part harmonies, along with various combinations of instrumentation and musical influences.
Woodlander has released two CDs, both self-produced and self-engineered, and they performed and sang all parts: between them, they played 15 different instruments, sang all of the harmonies, and wrote nearly all of the songs. Check out their brand-new original sea shanty that tells of an iconic historical Oregon event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sANUlaNZg-g&list=RDsANUlaNZg-g&start_radio=1

Drew Martin / St Yuma / Lilly Miller

$15 Advance // $15 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages
DREW MARTINSeattle-based and one-of-a-kind, Drew Martin blends Hawaiian slack key roots with poetic storytelling, earning him the nickname “Maui’s answer to Bob Dylan.” Originally from Maui, Hawai‘i, his sound weaves together folk, blues, and traditional Hawaiian influences into something both timeless and distinctly his own. A multi-instrumentalist, Drew brings songs to life with 12-string guitar, harmonica, and ukulele, creating warm, transportive performances that feel deeply connected to place. Inspired by nature and his home in the West Maui mountains, his music carries the spirit of the islands while resonating far beyond them.
ST. YUMAFollowing the intimate grief of 2024’s “Country Sleight of Hand”, Stevan Alva returns as St. Yuma with “Trout Man”—a bold leap into surreal, theatrical storytelling. Where his last album mourned in hushed tones, Trout Man revels in the strange and sacred, casting sadness as a cast of characters: a self-loathing trout, a walrus named Alone, and an after-hours Mr. Rogers all circling the same emotional drain.
Blending folk, lounge, and experimental pop, the album plays like a dream-laced stage show—part confession, part hallucination. Horns chuckle, pianos drift through underwater scenes, and every track feels like eavesdropping on someone else’s dream only to recognize yourself inside it.
Trout Man doesn’t ask for understanding—it invites you to sit with it, to feel weird, to feel deeply. It’s an AA meeting for melancholics, where blueberry pie and smooth cigarettes stand in for the soft ache we keep returning to.
LILLY MILLERLilly Miller is a singer-songwriter whose candid, cathartic folk songs draw listeners in and reward close attention. Raised in Iowa, she began performing after relocating to Seattle, Washington in 2022, quickly finding her footing in the city’s music scene. She has since toured in support of artists like Damien Jurado, Olivia Barton, and Racoma.
Her debut record, After, now (2025), expands her acoustic foundation with exploratory textures and lush, atmospheric soundscapes. Her forthcoming release, Did Something in Me Break (2026)—a split with Damien Jurado—reimagines many of her earlier songs in a warm, live setting, offering a more intimate and immediate take on her work.

Piano Summit presented by The CGOA
2026-06-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Wy’east Middle School Performing Arts Center, 3000 Wyeast Rd, Hood River, OR, 97031, United States

20th Anniversary Season
Piano Summit
Gorge Sinfonietta with Kathryn Apland and Mitchell Jett Spencer, soloists
Thursday and Saturday, June 18 and 20 at 7 PM, Sunday June 21 at 2 PM
Wy’east Middle School Performing Arts Center
Over the past twenty years, the Gorge Sinfonietta has presented hundreds of concerts featuring a wide spectrum of music, from beloved classics to exciting new compositions. Two of the most memorable concerts featured Kathryn Apland playing the Grieg Piano Concerto, and Mitchell Jett Spencer performing Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. For its final concert of the 2025-26 Season, the Sinfonietta has invited both soloists to return in a concert called “Piano Summit.”
Conductor Mark Steighner said that the concert’s title has two meanings. “In the world of geopolitics or business, a summit brings together talented people to share ideas. But of course the other meaning is the apex, the top of the mountain. This music is the absolute summit of late 19th century Romanticism and piano virtuosity.”
Steighner said that having two piano concertos on one program is pretty rare, and something the Sinfonietta has never done. Mitchell Jett Spencer will be performing Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, which takes the listener on a complex, dazzling musical journey that’s filled with romance, drama and humor.
Kathryn Apland will perform Franz Liszt’s Totentanz, which is also a theme and variations, but based on an ancient Gregorian chant melody, the Dies Irae, or “Day of Anger.” Totentanz is one of the composer’s most dramatic, progressive and genuinely surprising works. In many ways it foreshadows later 20th century composers like Bartok.”
Steighner said, “I am in awe of both Kathy and Mitch’s technical skills, their deep musical understanding and their willingness to take on these incredibly difficult challenges. I guarantee audiences will be impressed.”
The program will be rounded out by Johannes Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture and an excerpt from Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony.
“Mahler is one of my absolute favorite composers,” Steighner said. “I’ve been listening to his music since I was in high school or before. The Sinfonietta has never played any music by Mahler because it’s too big, usually requiring an immense orchestra. But I couldn’t step away from the podium without doing at least a little bit.”
The Piano Summit concerts will be Steighner’s last performance with the orchestra. He will be retiring after founding CGOA and its ensembles twenty years ago. Steighner’s replacement will be Lars Campbell, recently hired after an exhaustive search. Campbell is the longtime director of the Clackamas Community College Wind Ensemble and a professional trombonist, having performed with the Oregon Symphony and Seattle Symphony.
“Lars will helm the Sinfonietta for an exciting new chapter in its development,” Steighner said. “I’m pleased he was willing and able to join us.”
The recent performances of Roads Not Taken were entirely sold out, so Steighner urges audiences to buy tickets well in advance. The concerts will be Thursday, June 18 and Saturday, June 20 at 7 PM, and Sunday, June 21 at 2 PM. Concerts will be at the Wy’east Middle School Performing Arts Center at 3000 Wy’east Rd in Odell. Tickets are available at gorgeorchestra.org. Adults $25; CGOA members $20; students/youth FREE (HS & college students show ID at the door). Also, $5 tickets are available at the door for SNAP card holders through the Arts for All program.

BARN BURNER: Family Worship Center / Smoker Dad
2026-06-19 18:00 - 21:00 | Trout Lake Hall, 15 Guler Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States
Friday, June 19th, 2026
$15 Advance // $20 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages
BARN BURNER shows are all about the dancing! No matter who might be on the stage, you are guaranteed to groove.
FAMILY WORSHIP CENTERFamily Worship Center is a rock-and-soul commune born in Nashville, Tennessee and reborn in Portland, Oregon. Fronted by visionary songwriter and keyboardist Andy Krissberg, the group draws its name from a strange, cult-leaning text unearthed during a cross-country field recording journey.An omen they’ve since transformed into a full-blown, groove-powered spiritual revival.
Their debut EP Sunday A.M. (produced by Grammy-winner Eddie Spear) introduced a lineup of heavy hitters with ties to The Band, Ringo Starr, and Deer Tick. Their 2023 full-length Kicked Out of the Garden, recorded across Portland, Philly, and Ukraine with producer Cameron Spies, spent eight weeks on the NACC 200 and landed the band on NPR’s Live Wire Radio and multiple year-end best-of lists. With a sound rooted in 1970s swagger, Leon Russell-style piano gospel, Southern rock, and communal soul, Family Worship Center brings their own throwback gospel to the people – complete with horns, harmonies, and secular salvation. Troy Nelson of KEXP called them “truly the best live band I have seen in years,” while The Portland Mercury described their show as “taking your ass to church” -and that’s exactly what they intend to do.
SMOKER DAD“Rock ‘n’ roll, smoke a bowl.” That’s the motto of Seattle-based 6-piece Smoker Dad, which gives you an idea of what to expect (if the band name didn’t already). The cover photo of their self-titled debut album shows that they also have a tasteful sense of humor. More importantly though: Trevor Conway (vocals, guitar), Chris King (vocals, keys), Teagen Conway (guitar, vocals), Chris Costalupes (pedal steels, guitar, tambourine), Derek Luther (bass, vocals), and Adam Knowles (drums) know how to play Southern fried rock music. The ten songs here – nine originals, one cover (Ron Pederson’s Puget Sound) – are loud, fast, raucous and dirty, as it should be. Smoker Dad rocks hard, but always with a sense of melody – swinging guitar riffs and powerful vocals – that will make you dance like crazy. – Dennis Add to Wantlist
