Bart Budwig (full band) / Bryan John Appleby at Trout Lake Hall
2026-08-20 18:00 - 21:00 | Trout Lake Hall, 15 Guler Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States

BART BUDWIGBart Budwig is a son of Idaho, a cosmic country crooner, a rousing trumpet player, and cryin’-style soul singer. His music is made up of seemingly incongruous parts; thrum & strum country rhythms, jazz guitar melodies, R&B vocals. When Bart sings he draws out words into meditative mantras, whole note neologisms that keep you hanging on until his raspy voice trails off in a ragged edge. His forthcoming album, Another Burn On The AstroTurf (January 24, 2020, Fluff and Gravy Records) was recorded over five days by a seven-piece band inside the OK Theater. It’s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n’ roll spirituality of king mystic Van Morrison, the gloomy nostalgia of dark prince Nick Drake and the songcraft sans self-seriousness of 70s Muscle Shoals.
Like those psycho-spiritual song crafters, his power comes from vocal idiosyncrasies – intonations of love, impermanence, hope, humor. The album opens with Budwig originals “Time For Two”, “First To Go”, and “Strong Coffee”– originally presented with just solo guitar (and crackling wood stove) on the album Sabai. The songs are recorded here live, full band, in medley, with hot electric guitar, woody double bass, and drums. The band electrifies and scourges the flesh of the songs into fully formed folk rock stunners.
There is what the Romans called a “divine lustre” about Bart Budwig. His blonde hair and beard wrap around his collar,and frame his smile in a nimbus of gold. His radiance belies the loyalty he commands of an army of talent. He’d sooner tell you a joke than reveal to you he’s recorded dozens of albums and hundreds of songs in the last few years. Bart’s mastery of dramatic irony turns his work with complex emotional states of being into comforting, uplifting, relatable music.
It’s this ability to combine tragedy and comedy in his humanist hallelujahs that makes Budwig a gravitational force and industry chimera. The studio general, the clown prince, the sensitive songwriter with a rugged voice. The soul singer with a cosmic country band. The creator of a folk universe drawing musicians from everywhere to the middle of nowhere. It’s this juxtaposition that makes Another Burn On The AstroTurfanother success for Bart Budwig, and a must listen for you. – Sean Jewell
BRYAN JOHN APPLEBY
Bryan John Appleby has been writing, recording, and performing original music for almosttwo decades. Based in Seattle, his folk-centric body of work incorporates breezy mid century pop, intricate fingerpicking, lush cinematic layers, and lyrics that often evoke hisCentral Coast origins.
His latest full-length, Underwater Easy Breathing, exemplifies his distinct productionpalette. Oceanic and synth-laced, the album is a natural next step in his wandering, oftendensely layered repertoire. Previous works include The Narrow Valley (2015), a maximalistconcept album drenched in dreamy, orchestral elements and experimental sounds, andFire on the Vine (2011), a darker collection with more conventional folk structures andorganic instrumentation.
With a house show tour circuit taking him throughout the Western States, Appleby has shared the stage with artists such as Damien Jurado, Deep Sea Diver, Tomo Nakayama, YLa Bamba, Shaina Shepherd, Dean Johnson, and Sera Cahoone and many others.

JOHN COURAGE
John Courage has been honing his skills as a songwriter, guitarist and producer for over 10 years in the music communities of Northern California, with stints in the Pacific Northwest and the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

New styles blossom and are assimilated into the songbook, and currently John Courage performs as a solo songwriter, or a raucous, guitar driven trio or quartet.
With four self produced full length albums to his credit, and guitar credits on many other records, along with touring work on bass and lead guitar, John Courage now expands into the role of producer with the addition of Gremlintone Studios, a fledgling analog based production focusing on live recording.

SAVANNAH CLANCY
Savannah Clancy is a folk singer-songwriter who moves through the world like the seasons — always changing, always returning. Rooted in the wild elements and the ancient rhythms of ancestry and place, her music is an intimate conversation between the human heart and the living earth. Writing songs since the age of twelve, Savannah has long understood songwriting as a sacred alchemy — a way of transforming the raw material of life into something that connects, heals, and endures.
Her debut album Roots in the Water (March 2024) offered love songs for the earth and a prayer for the planet — music born from deep reverence for the world we inhabit. Now, with her second album arriving June 13th, 2026, Savannah turns tenderly inward. These honey-sweet songs with an Americana sound are of finding home, stepping into motherhood, and weaving community — threaded through with longing, nostalgia, grief, and the quiet wonder of love in all its forms.
a place to call home (June 2026) is produced by friend and fellow musician Ben Larsen. After the many hours of devoted time working on this project, the two of them are excited to be playing and singing together in person.
BEN LARSEN
For over a decade Larsen has been performing up and down the west coast and nationally as a solo artist. He recently returned home to the Pacific Northwest after spending a year and half in New York City, writing and producing his third studio record Clarity, out fall of 2024.

Can Love bend the Rules of Fate without breaking the Universe?
High atop a mountain, three sister goddesses spin, measure, and snip the string of every human life, until Zeus banishes them to earth for a choice they refuse to undo. Three thousand years later, still stuck among mortals, the eldest sister meets a security guard on the night shift. What starts with a bit of unexpected chemistry results in a string stolen from the fabric of life itself… and could lead to the unraveling of the entire universe. Funny, heartfelt, and downright magical; this is String, the acclaimed musical by Adam Gwon and Sarah Hammond.”

Where: Mark Hatfield Twin Tunnels Trail, Hood River, ORWhen: Aug 15, 2026. 9:00AMWhy: We are holding our FOURTH annual fundraising run in honor of Ezra Blue. Ezra left us too early because of an aggressive brain tumor that failed initial treatment. He was supposed to begin a novel treatment for refractory brain tumors, but became too ill to begin treatment right before starting. All proceeds from this run go to Seattle Children’s Hospital. Particularly to the research projects related to the type of brain cancer he had, medulloblastoma.
Ezra would have turned nine years old this year, and in honor of that we will have a 9 mile run along with a 5K and a 10k. We are also including a 100 yard dash this year.This is for younger children or people who would preferred to do a shorter distance.
We will have a commemorative t-shirt along with medals for the winner of each race.
This run is open to all experience levels.
The goal of this run is to remember Ezra and to raise money and to have fun. Please consider joining us for this run on August 15, 2026.

In honor of the Oregon Outback being named the World’s Largest International Dark Sky Sanctuary and the new moon on July 14, we are offering overnight RV camping and will be turning off our lights so you can get an amazing view of the stars. We know the dark sky sanctuary is in eastern Oregon and the new moon is a couple days later, but we promise the view of the stars on Mt. Hood is out of this world! In addition, most camping on Mt. Hood is booked for this weekend and we have plenty of RV spots available so make your plans now and join us for a dark sky experience on Mt. Hood!
Meadows is also a great place for a daytime adventure! We’ll have our hiking trails open, the Stadium chair will be running for scenic chair lift rides and the Paradise Grill will be serving delicious food and refreshing drinks.
