SUMMARY:Roads Not Taken presented by CGOA & Voci Community Choir
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association 20th Anniversary Season \nRoads Not Taken \nGorge Sinfonietta and the Voci Community Choir \nFriday and Saturday\, April 17 and 18 at 7 PM\, Sunday April 19 at 2 PM \nWy’east Middle School Performing Arts Center \nCombined performances by the Gorge Sinfonietta and the Voci Community choir are always an event! On April 17\,18 and 19\, the two ensembles will come together for a performance called “Roads Not Taken.” \nThe title comes from a line by Robert Frost\, whose poetry is featured in Frostiana\, a beloved setting of Frost’s poems for choir and orchestra. The 75-voice Voci Choir will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra and conducted by Voci director Dan Kenealy. Composed by Randall Thompson in 1959\, the composer’s simple and appealing music reflects Frost’s plain but profound choice of words. \nThe concert also includes Johannes Brahms’ beloved Academic Festival Overture\, performed by the Gorge Sinfonietta and directed by retiring conductor Mark Steighner. The Academic Festival Overture is one of Brahms’ most lively and tuneful works\, and is partly a tongue-in-cheek setting of several well-known\, 19th century university songs. \nThe finale of the Roads Not Taken concert is the premiere of “Requiem in Five Stages” by Mark Steighner and Dennis Castañares. This work combines Latin texts from the traditional Requiem with original poetry and lyrics. Dennis Castañares – known locally as Alonzo Garbanzo – will play the musical role of a Balladeer\, singing the Requiem’s more pop/folk style songs for which he wrote the music. Steighner and Castanares have previously collaborated on over two dozen songs\, most of which are available on Alonzo Garbanzo’s YouTube channel. \nConcerts are Friday and Saturday\, April 17 and 18 at 7 PM\, and Sunday\, April 19 at 2 PM.  All three performances are at the Performing Arts Center at Wy’east Middle School\, 3000 Wyeast Road\, Hood River (Odell).  Tickets are on sale now 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. \nThe Gorge Sinfonietta will conclude its season on June 18\, 20 and 21 with a performance titled “Piano Summit.” The concert includes two virtuoso works for piano\, Franz Liszt’s Totentanz and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Pagannini. Soloists for the concert will be Kathryn Apland and Mitchell Jett Spencer. The concerts will also mark the end of CGOA’s founder and conductor Mark Steighner’s 20-year tenure with the orchestra. Tickets are available at gorgeorchestra.org. \nThe Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and presenting musical performances of the highest quality in the Columbia River Gorge region. With a commitment to artistic excellence and education\, CGOA brings the joy of music to audiences of all ages.

SUMMARY:BARN BURNER: Ural Thomas & The Pain / The Get Tight
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 18th\, 2026 \n$25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show\n6pm Doors / 7pm Show\nAll Ages \nBARN BURNER shows are all about the dancing! No matter who might be on the stage\, you are guaranteed to groove. \nURAL THOMAS & THE PAIN \nUniversally recognized as one of the most exciting singers remaining from the original soul era\, 82 year-old Ural Thomas and his band The Pain just released their third LP “Dancing Dimensions.” Thomas initially made his name in the 1960s with stone cold soul classic releases like “Pain Is The Name of Your Game\,” “Can You Dig It\,” “Deep Soul\,” and his 1964 recording debut with The Monterays “Push – Em Up.” After a musical journey that commenced in his native Portland\, Oregon\, and led to Los Angeles\, Cincinnati\, and New York\, sharing stages with everyone from James Brown to Stevie Wonder to Otis Redding to Etta James\, Thomas became disillusioned with the music business and returned home to the city of roses at the end of the decade – where he continues to reign as Portland’s uncontested Soul Brother Number One. In 2014 Ural met drummer/bandleader Scott Magee at a Sunday jam session he’d been hosting for decades and Ural Thomas and The Pain was born. The full showband set to work\, prolifically gigging\, touring the world\, and releasing four critically acclaimed records (two LPs and two singles) between 2015 and 2018. Despite the usual COVID-19 obstacles\, The Pain finally completed their much-anticipated third album in 2021.\nWhile “Dancing Dimensions” explores everything from sweet Chicago soul to airy West Coast psychedelia to Sly funk\, their latest collection retains the distinctive sound this well-oiled tightly-knit musical aggregation organically developed over years of relentless work. Classic yet unmistakably contemporary at the same time\, “Dancing Dimensions” is the most accurate representation of The Pain’s unique flavor\, power\, and musical breadth committed to vinyl thus far. \nTHE GET TIGHT \nThe Get Tight is a soul-inspired\, funk instrumental band featuring Xan McCurdy (CAKE\, The Loved Ones)\, keyboardist Garth Klippert (Old Lights\, Fruit Bats)\, drummer Adams Beam (Megan Diana\, Independent)\, and bassist Allen Hunter (Eels\, Ural Thomas & the Pain).

SUMMARY:Roads Not Taken presented by CGOA & Voci Community Choir
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association 20th Anniversary Season \nRoads Not Taken \nGorge Sinfonietta and the Voci Community Choir \nFriday and Saturday\, April 17 and 18 at 7 PM\, Sunday April 19 at 2 PM \nWy’east Middle School Performing Arts Center \nCombined performances by the Gorge Sinfonietta and the Voci Community choir are always an event! On April 17\,18 and 19\, the two ensembles will come together for a performance called “Roads Not Taken.” \nThe title comes from a line by Robert Frost\, whose poetry is featured in Frostiana\, a beloved setting of Frost’s poems for choir and orchestra. The 75-voice Voci Choir will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra and conducted by Voci director Dan Kenealy. Composed by Randall Thompson in 1959\, the composer’s simple and appealing music reflects Frost’s plain but profound choice of words. \nThe concert also includes Johannes Brahms’ beloved Academic Festival Overture\, performed by the Gorge Sinfonietta and directed by retiring conductor Mark Steighner. The Academic Festival Overture is one of Brahms’ most lively and tuneful works\, and is partly a tongue-in-cheek setting of several well-known\, 19th century university songs. \nThe finale of the Roads Not Taken concert is the premiere of “Requiem in Five Stages” by Mark Steighner and Dennis Castañares. This work combines Latin texts from the traditional Requiem with original poetry and lyrics. Dennis Castañares – known locally as Alonzo Garbanzo – will play the musical role of a Balladeer\, singing the Requiem’s more pop/folk style songs for which he wrote the music. Steighner and Castanares have previously collaborated on over two dozen songs\, most of which are available on Alonzo Garbanzo’s YouTube channel. \nConcerts are Friday and Saturday\, April 17 and 18 at 7 PM\, and Sunday\, April 19 at 2 PM.  All three performances are at the Performing Arts Center at Wy’east Middle School\, 3000 Wyeast Road\, Hood River (Odell).  Tickets are on sale now 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. \nThe Gorge Sinfonietta will conclude its season on June 18\, 20 and 21 with a performance titled “Piano Summit.” The concert includes two virtuoso works for piano\, Franz Liszt’s Totentanz and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Pagannini. Soloists for the concert will be Kathryn Apland and Mitchell Jett Spencer. The concerts will also mark the end of CGOA’s founder and conductor Mark Steighner’s 20-year tenure with the orchestra. Tickets are available at gorgeorchestra.org. \nThe Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and presenting musical performances of the highest quality in the Columbia River Gorge region. With a commitment to artistic excellence and education\, CGOA brings the joy of music to audiences of all ages.

SUMMARY:Bob Sumner / Jeffrey Silverstein
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 17th\, 2026 \n$17 Advance // $17 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nBOB SUMNER \nSinger-songwriter Bob Sumner cites the musically progressive sensibilities of his heroes when talking about the spirit of his new album\, Some Place to Rest Easy\, out now via Fluff & Gravy (worldwide) and North Country Collective (Canada). “They were always creating something new\, something different\,” he says of idols like George Jones\, Willie Nelson\, and Waylon Jennings. With that ideology in mind\, Sumner set about creating an album that takes as much inspiration from the audio production of Randy Travis as it does the lyrical soul of Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker—a melding of eras\, sounds\, concepts\, and stylings that’s informed by the past\, but never bound by it. \nWith Some Place to Rest Easy\, Sumner picks up the tempo compared to his previous releases\, balancing the stirring lyrical depth fans have come to expect with a more buoyant\, lively feel. “It felt appropriate to give the music itself some joy\,” says the man who’s made a career out of tapping into difficult-to-touch-on\, real-life stuff in a relatable\, palatable manner. In the end\, that’s what Sumner’s music has always been about—more than a single sound\, influence\, instrumental\, or clever line. “I always want people to feel something\,” Sumner explains. “If I heard that this album helped somebody that was feeling down\, even just by feeling some other emotion for a little while\, that’s the number one thing for me.” \nFans can now stream or purchase Some Place to Rest Easy at this link and watch the video for the album’s focus track\, “Didn’t We Dream\,” here. To purchase tickets or to keep an eye on future tour dates\, please visit bobsumnermusic.com. \n Some Place to Rest Easy In The News:“a blend of past\, present\, and future sounds” – American Songwriter“More than a single sound\, influence\, instrumental\, or theme\, the through line in Sumner’s music has always been vulnerability.” – Glide Magazine“Genuine and weighty songwriting” – Americana Highways“High class\, country leaning Americana.” – Americana UK“It takes a deft hand to put out a good\, sad record…Bob Sumner nails it on Someplace To Rest Easy.” – Twangville \nBandcamp – Best Country MusicSaving Country Music – Most anticipated releases of 2024American Songwriter – “Standout Album” \nJEFFREY SILVERSTEIN \nJeffrey Silverstein’s new EP Roseway is named after the quiet\, tree-lined neighborhood in Northeast Portland where the guitarist and songwriter lives. “My drive home from my teaching job is all uphill\,” he says. “You kind of crest over this ridge to get to where you want to go. Every moment that happens to me\, I just have this sense of ease once I get to the top.” That sense of relief–the feeling of completing a tough journey—animates the six relaxed and meditative songs here. While half of the tracks are pastoral ambient instrumentals and half are plainspoken lyrical numbers with ample twang and groove\, each captures Silverstein’s striking comfort with his voice\, his process\, and his role as a bandleader. To him\, these songs feel like home. It’s New Age for the everyman: more cosmic than country and more accessible than esoteric. This is what cosmic country sounds like in 2024.  \nThis EP picks up where his artistic breakthrough and 2023 full-length Western Sky Music left off. A reinvention for Silverstein that traded homespun solo recordings for an expansive full-band sound\, the LP was acclaimed by outlets like Aquarium Drunkard and The Portland Mercury\, who praised its\, “cosmic country and shimmering Americana that feels like a significant step forward from his previous work.” On Roseway\, he reunites with his Western Sky Music rhythm section in drummer Dana Buoy (Akron/Family) and bassist Alex Chapman and enlists pedal steel player Connor Gallaher (Anna St. Louis\, Lana Del Rey) to flesh out the songs. “I always view EPs as moments to try things and experiment\,” says Silverstein. “Building this trust and communication with Alex and Dana has made for a wonderful partnership and helped me take risks I normally wouldn’t.”  \nRecorded with Ryan Oxford (Y La Bamba\, Rose City Band)\, Roseway boasts an eclectic and exploratory palate. Songs like the inviting and laid-back “Gassed Up” find Silverstein adding country-funk grooves over inviting\, spaced-out lyrics. Atop a buoyant bass line from Chapman\, Silverstein sings\, “You’re gassed up / You gotta go / You’re not lonely / You’re just Alone.” It recalls JJ Cale at his swampiest. “I’m always thinking about how you can incorporate more of a boogie and groove with the twang\,” says Silverstein. Even at its twangiest\, Roseway never feels like a throwback or a retread. Instead\, it pushes these signifiers into headier territory. Take the instrumental “Headcleaner\,” which takes on a krautrock-inspired haze. Elsewhere\, single “Cog In the Wheel” takes on a nomadic search for good vibes. He sings\, “I’ve been cruisin’ / such a long time / Never want to settle down.” That track is a balm that feels like getting closer to a destination.  \nThe vinyl version of Roseway features a b-side that includes the first pressing of Silverstein’s 2021 EP Torii Gates. “That kind of makes this a split release with myself\,” he jokes. The pairing is intentional and important\, however. Also recorded with Oxford and featured Chapman on bass\, that release found Silverstein beginning to branch out from solo fare to a full band. Here\, much of the material is anchored by a drum machine: It was an exercise in appreciating small moments and being comfortable with transitional periods. While the songs are cozy\, hypnotic\, and compelling\, there’s a tension in how they feel like the starting point to a reinvention. On highlight “Soft Lens\,” he sings\,“Stuck outside the Torii Gates / tired of hearing you have to wait.” When he wrote that song\, that gate was a metaphor for his own musical journey.  \nTaken together\, these two EPs feel like a bridge to each other: a document of an artist cresting the hill of his process and vision. It’s a record of contemplation and comfort\, not of prescription and platitudes. Roseway opens with the raw and ramshackle “Countryside\,” which finds Silverstein singing\, “If there’s a gate / I’m passing through / If there’s a light / It’s shining blue.” The line is both the North Star of Roseway and a testament to how far Silverstein has come threading disparate worlds and finding his voice. “I’ve learned to be cool with things not working and failing and loving all of that\,” he says. “It’s all about accepting that part of the process. I love imperfect music. I love songs where you hear the wrong notes. I don’t want to muddy anything up too much and get out of my way.”– Josh Terry
