SONGS OF POWER & PROTEST
Twelve songwriters will come together at Trout Lake Hall on 12/6 for a night of songs meant to inspire, unite and rally. Artists will share original protest songs they have written for the occasion and perform a cover of their favorite protest song. This will be the second in this series of Songs of Power and Protest shows created and hosted by Portland musician, Rose Gerber. A variety of genres are represented in the lineup from Folk to Bluegrass, Country to Pop and include: Matt Mitchell, Jim Brunberg, Crystal Lariza, Erin Adkission, Zach Markezich, William Surly, Kyle Patrick Kregan, Jordan Krinsky, Shiloh Mae, Tim Karplus, Katie Waterland and Rose Gerber. Be the first to hear songs that could become the soundtrack for the next generation of change makers and activists.
Matt Mitchell Music Company is an original Americana project hailing from the Pacific Northwest. Centered around the old-soul, observational storytelling of Mitchell, who lives full time out of an imported Japanese bus, MMMC brings Mitchell’s tunes to life in solo, acoustic duo/trio and full on, electrified band configurations. Mitchell’s songs are equal parts clever, quick-witted and heartbreakingly confessional, (oftentimes all at once) translating well both in attentive listening rooms and rowdy rock halls. If ‘The Band’ took a road trip to Laurel Canyon and pulled their tour bus over to pick up John Prine hitching his way down the pacific coastline, their rolling jam sessions might sound a little like Matt Mitchell Music Co.
Jim Brunberg is an artist, a father, an activist, a small business owner and a continual agent of change. He is the co-founder of five music venues, including the nationally renowned Mississippi Studios and Revolution Hall. He’s half of Wonderly, the duo behind the themes for The New York Times’ The Daily and Cheryl Strayed’s Dear Sugar. He’s the dad behind the award-winning Roam Schooled podcast.
Brunberg has released solo albums, scored films, and toured the world with his longtime band Box Set. Jim’s latest chapter, as a fierce advocate for live music, finds him serving as Vice President of the board of the National Independent Venue Association, NIVA, and frequently criss-crossing the country to fight for legislation and arts funding.
Crystal Lariza, is a singer-songwriter and guitarist, native to Portland, OR. Performing since her teens, she made her way through folk rock bands, soul bands and now is immersed in the world of acoustic music. She has opened for bands like Robert Plant, Old Crow Medicine Show and The Travelin’ McCourys. She was nominated for Vocalist of the Year at the IBMA’s 2022, has written songs for TV and commercials and continues to tour and teach with her band, Never Come Down.
Erin Adkission Raised in the outskirts of Oregon City, Erin Adkisson began singing in church choir and howling with wolves at night. A songwriter, and vocalist in several Portland bands, including The Druthers since 2008. Wielding a pure emotional wand, Erin is a mainstay harmony artist in the music scene. Her new single, Crawdaddies was released September ‘25.
Shiloh Mae is a Portland singer-songwriter with a penchant for melancholy but a bent toward hope. Fans of Lizzy McAlpine, Maggie Rogers, and Kacey Musgraves will love her lyric-centric, melody forward storytelling, with vocals many have likened to the Cranberries. She cites influences from 70’s folk classics, to 90s soft rock, to the indie folk of today. Shiloh also plays in folk duo Bird and Willow with her brother Jared Kauk.
Rose Gerber based in Portland, OR, Rose Gerber is an American roots explorer, incorporating country, folk, rock, alt-rock, and alt-country into a seamless signature aesthetic, where cowboy boots meets Doc Martins.Her catalog includes an LP, several EPs and a bounty of singles. She has shared the stage with touring acts like Big Richard, Never Come Down, Margo Cilker, and performed at iconic NW festivals such as Pickathon, Treefort Music Festival, and Jackalope Jamboree.
Megan Diana is pioneering a new genre: DREAM – COUNTRY – DISCO. Take your favorite vintage keyboard — hello Wurlitzer 200A —- put it through an echo/delay pedal, add lush layers of French horn & vocals, anchor it all with throwback drum grooves & top it off with glittery pedal steel. After the release of her debut album Women in My Head, Megan has been hard at work touring the world & sharing her second album Cabin Fever. Follow along @hellomegandiana and listen to Cabin Fever wherever you get your music.
William Surly is a singer/songwriter who saddles his horse (metaphorically speaking) in Portland, Oregon. Within his music he mixes classic country with outlaw, honky tonk, a dash of folk, some rock, and soul.
Inspired by story tellers of the Outlaw and Folk movements of the 60’s and 70’s and rejuvenated by the modern sounds of Sturgil Simpson, Margo Price, Mike and The Moonpies, Nikki Lane and more. Surly pays homage to the ones who came before him, singing songs for those best suited for a long running bar tab.
Best known for his role in the Lonesome Billies, who have shared the stage with nationally touring acts such as Pokey Lafarge,Hooray For The Riff Raff, Blitzen Trapper and Nikki Lane, William Surly has been in the Portland music scene for many years. His newest endeavor, “William Surly & The Barroom Gospel Band” is a mighty fine mix of talented musicians that is working on their next album release.
Kyle Patrick Cregan is a singer-songwriter and audio engineer living in Portland, Oregon. A dizzy dreamer attempting to navigate and make sense of this funny little breath of life in a rock & roll band called Wild Flowers.
Zach Markezich is based in Portland, OR and performs solo and with his rock band smilepile. His music has been described as heartfelt, universal songwriting atop a matching musical journey through a cauldron of genres. His latest single Bad Connection can be found streaming everywhere.
Katie Waterland is a vocalist, songwriter,and sound engineer in Portland, OR. She sings lead vocals in the band, The Earl Gracious Band, and lends backup vocals for various artists around Portland.
Karyn Ann with a voice that’s equal parts church bell and bourbon barrel and a gut-punching grit reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt or Grace Potter, Portland-based singer-songwriter Karyn Ann has been charming audiences for over a decade with her brand of Soulful Americana. She’s shared stages with artists like Chris Issak, Oliver Wood (of The Wood Brothers) and Seth Walker, and her songwriting has been nationally recognized at festivals like the Great River Folk Fest (WI), Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (CO) and Tuscon Folk Festival (AZ).
