Just Announced-John Bunzow-Americana Songwriter
2026-04-06 15:30 - 18:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Hood Crest Winery, Hood Crest Winery
Americana & Roots
John Bunzow is an inspired and innovative American roots singer/songwriter/guitarist of depth, substance and groove.
“John destroys the boundaries between great rock, country, r&b, and soul music by owning his noteworthy sound with respect to the great artists who came before.” Ray Kennedy, Five time Grammy winner. Producer, Engineer, Musician (Steve Earle, Billy Joe Shaver)
Bunzow, based in Portland with regular commutes to Nashville, has built a long and storied career. Infused early with a strong love of Southern music – thanks to kin from that part of the country – John has developed his own unique fusion of roots rock and blues, seasoned with everything from reggae and country rock to pop.
�He counts among his “Mt. Rushmore of influences,” Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, Tom Waits, Mike Bloomfield, Albert King, country picker Jimmy Reed, Jimmy Webb, Randy Newman, Steve Earle, and Jerry Garcia, among many.
During his early years, Bunzow performed with bands that favored original music, including the Cowboy Angels and the X-Angels, as well as working as a solo singer/songwriter and even trafficking in a country music tour of truck stops and county fairs. John found himself bouncing around various music scenes including San Francisco, Seattle and LA. But it was in Nashville that his songwriting created new opportunities, Bunzow says. “My focus was always as a songwriter, and that is what brought me to Nashville – twice.”

Ordinary Days: The Musical
2026-04-05 14:00 - 17:00, 2026-04-04 19:00 - 22:00, 2026-04-03 19:00 - 22:00 | Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade Ave, Hood River, OR, 97031-1724, United States
Ordinary Days: The Musical
A co-production of Theatre CamilleLynne and Columbia Arts
Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon
Directed by Tay Camille Lynne
Musical Direction by Duncan Krummel
Performance Dates: April 3–11
From one of musical theatre’s most exciting contemporary composers comes Ordinary Days, a refreshingly honest and funny musical about making real connections in the city that never sleeps (but probably should at some point).
Four young New Yorkers intersect as they each search for fulfillment, happiness, love, and cabs. Through a score of vibrant, memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is for anyone who has ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how millions of individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home. “Quietly extraordinary… cleanses the soul, lifts the spirit, and reminds you what you love about New York.” — Stage Left “Filled… with hope and humor and desolation.” — The New York Times “Adam Gwon’s sensational new musical is a breath of fresh air.” — Chicago Theatre Review Youth and Teen Theatre at Columbia Arts is supported by the Herbert A. Templeton Foundation, Roundhouse Foundation, and Hood River Cultural Trust.

Jon Bennett is BACK. April 4. A PNW premier…!Playing With Men is another deeply personal and thought-provoking show from Jon Bennett, reflecting on his early years as a talented junior footballer in Southern Australia.

An Evening with Buddy Wakefield: World Champion Spoken Word Artist
2026-04-04 19:00 - 22:00 | The Ruins, Railroad Street 13, Hood River, OR, 97031, United States
TICKETS: https://www.tickettomato.com/event/9956
In 2001, Buddy left his desk job in Gig Harbor, WA, sold everything he owned, moved into a Honda Civic, and set out to “live for a living,” touring poetry venues for two years. He never stopped.
Buddy isn’t concerned with what poetry is or is not. So, this performance is raw, funny, disarming, and unlike anything you’ve seen in the Gorge.
Buddy Wakefield is an Individual World Poetry Slam champion, an actor, writer, and the most toured performance poet in history.
He’s been a busker in Amsterdam, a street vendor in Spain, a team leader in Singapore, a re-delivery boy, a candy maker, a street sweeper, a bartender, a maid, a construction worker, a bull rider, a notably slow triathlete, and more.
Buddy’s been featured on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam and the BBC, signed to both Sage Francis’ Strange Famous Records and Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records, and has performed in over 2,000 venues across the globe — from the Great Lawn of Central Park to San QuentinState Penitentiary.
“Buddy Wakefield is an unbullshit artist… and he’ll make you laugh your ass off while he does it.” — Gabrielle Bouliane
“Buddy Wakefield is a honey badger. Lions will go completely out of their way to avoid a honey badger.” — Don Beck, Theory of Spiral Dynamics
“I think he’s proof that there is a God.” — Graham Moore, Academy Award-winning writer of The Imitation Game
We’ll kick off the night with musical opener Kaylan Krebsbach. Join us for a performance you won’t forget.
