CHICKEN $#!T GAMBLERS
Mysterious and uncool, the Chicken $#!t Gamblers
reject conformity and curb appeal in favor of ludicrousness and frivolity. Armed only with stringed instruments, internal metronomes and a thesaurus, the unhinged and raunchy gang of miscreants spread, weird, pseudo-traditional, originally crafted bluegrass tunes, with a dash of old-timey gospel, vintage Shakedown Street vibes, country sass and deep, $#!t-yer-pants intergalactic improvisation. No genre is safe from their reign of audacity. Biologically grown, woodshed cultivated, scientifically inspired, emotionally attached, filthy and kind bluegrass inspired stuffing for your soundholes.
BAND OF COMERADOS
Ryan McMahon – Mandolin, Vocals
Devon James – Guitar, Vocals
Kyle Donaldson – Guitar, Vocals
Jeffrey Leppert – Upright Bass
Jam/Grass/Folk from Portland, OR
“It’s rare to find an album these days that fits every occasion, but Grass Half Full is exactly that. Equal parts intimate and expansive, Band of Comerados delivers a timeless work that expertly rides the line between
wistful nostalgia for what was and unflinching optimism for what is.
Seamlessly transitioning between songwriting styles throughout the hour long offering, Grass Half Full is the band’s most true album to date. Faithful fans will be rewarded with a collection of songs that capture BoC’s live energy, and new devotees will be captured by their charm and surprised at the places this band takes them.” – Chris Couch
Since 2015 and extending far into the future, Band of Comerados plays music that makes you feel good. Call it bluegrass, jamgrass, folk, or indie, what sets the band apart is their intricate instrumentation, dual vocal parts, intense improvisational jams, and the fact that these guys have so much damn fun when they’re playing live music!
In between traveling up and down the west coast in 2022, BoC managed record two albums. Grass Half Full is the newest full length album, containing 11 songs. These road tested tunes were captured perfectly at Jackpot! Studio in SE Portland. The album was released in June 2023. With Friends Like These included a bevy of Portland’s finest musicians helping create ambitious, full-band EP that was released on Halloween 2022, and follows previous releases Kindsight (2020), Trial & Error (2019), and Tomorrow is Today (2017).
From their inception around campfire jams, Band of Comerados has come a long way. Earning their stripes at dive bars, breweries, block parties, and house concerts in their hometown of Portland, Oregon, the band began to get a foothold in some of the city’s finest venues, like Laurelthirst, White Eagle, Goodfoot, Aladdin Theatre, Wonder Ballroom, Mississippi Studios, The Get Down and more. Expanding their fanbase, they traveled up and down the west coast from Southern California to Northern Washington, and east through Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. Festival appearances include What the Festival!?, Beltane Music Festival, 4 Peaks Music Festival, Northwest String Summit, Gem & Jam, Homegrown Gorge and others.

With that groundwork in place, the class will move into focused sessions on landscapes, abstract art, portraiture, and photography. Each week offers guided conversation and close looking, helping you deepen your understanding of artistic choices and expand your capacity to see with intention.
No previous art experience is needed, just an interest in learning and a desire to engage more fully with art.

David Ramirez / Sharon Silva
2026-02-05 18:00 - 21:00 | Trout Lake Hall, 15 Guler Rd, Trout Lake, WA, 98650, United States

DAVID RAMIREZDavid Ramirez took a little time to get back to himself, and now he’s dead set on making music for himself—for the sake of the music, and nothing else. “I love all the records I’ve made in the past,” says Ramirez. “But in making them, there was always the thought in the back of my mind of where and what it could get me. I made both creative and business decisions with a goal in mind; a goal that often never came. This time it was all about just the joy of making it, about having fun with it.”
The Austin, TX-based singer-songwriter—whose career has seen six full-length studio albums, three EPs, countless collaborations, and an illustrious supergroup project in Glorietta—spent a season of rest away from his focus on writing songs. In the wake of the end of a long relationship, he wanted to prioritize processing his grief as a human, not as an artist bleeding onto the page.
“The last thing I wanted was to write a heartbreak record. So I stopped writing altogether, and I just waited until I saw my heart start coming back to life. I wanted the next thing to be hopeful and sweet and beautiful—a testament to music and my love for it.”
Ramirez’s new record, All the Not So Gentle Reminders, is exactly what he was waiting for. The 12-song album is an expansive succession of dreamlike songs that in deed tell his stories—but more than anything, lean into the possibilities of the trip that music can take us on.“I’ve been a songwriter for a long time. I love words and stories. But this was about music. I wanted the long musical intros and outros [as heard on “Dirty Martini,” “Twin Sized Beds,” “A Bigger World,” and “Dreams Come True”] to contribute to the stories and be a part of them.”
The lead track, “Maybe It Was All a Dream,” sets this theme of the ethereal and dreamy from the outset. It’s a three-and-a-half-minute musical tour de force—at first, a simple synth line over a subdued drum machine, that eventually morphs into a grandiose rollick of organ, drum rolls, and electric guitars. All the while, staticky, broken voices repeat the almost-haunting coda that gives the record its name. In the end, this “dream” is interrupted and punctuated by a recording of Ramirez’s own mother saying, “David…David… it’s time to get up.”
In “Deja Voodoo,” Ramirez questions his own memory, wondering if he remembers his life as it really was, or if even the past itself is a dream colored by time and distance. He sings, “Maybe it was in another life. Maybe it was just a dream. Was it a memory passed down from another? A cosmic sunflare? Or just deja vu?” It’s easy to wonder whether the not-so-gentle reminders are themselves facts, or just figments of our imagination—something to be trusted or something to move on from and reclaim our lives.
The songs for the album were written during a writing getaway David went on for two weeks, where he holed up at Standard Deluxe—a music venue and art space in the tiny 100-person town of Waverly, Alabama. His goal was to get out of the noise of Austin fora while, to be alone, to get back to writing with the “uninterrupted silence [he had] been missing.”
All the Not So Gentle Reminders was recorded at Spectra Studios in Cedar Park, TX just outside of Austin, engineered by Charlie Kramsky at the helm. He tapped local staples as the house musicians for the sessions, including Barbara Frigiere, Jeff Olson, James Westley Essary, and Christopher Boosahda (who also helped to produce the album alongside Ramirez). And in the spirit of the exuberance and joy of the recording, he also called upon a handful of friends to contribute and sing background vocals throughout the album.
“It made sense to bring in this group as we were so tight musically and relationally from touring together the last few years. Like all my albums before this I never want to repeat what I’ve previously made. This was no exception. I brought in Boosahda to co-produce because I had never tried my hand at the captain’s wheel, and I wanted someone experienced and with a different musical background than me to bring some extra shine.”
Throughout the album, David tackles memory and dreams, fleeting romance, the possibility of something better ahead, and his own deep appreciation for music and his place in making it. The fact that he considered giving it up altogether—a decision he thankfully didn’t follow through with—All the Not So Gentle Reminders only serves to be that much more impactful as a testament to music and its power.
Most pointedly in “Music Man,” he recalls his own turning point as a boy, listening on a Walkman his father gave him… a fateful turn that led him to where he is today. “So take a look at me now. I’m quite the music man. Take a look at the crowd. We’re all here for the music, man. It’s the music, man.” On what is his most ambitious, lush, and exuberant record to date, David is leaning in full-hearted to who he knows he is at his core—and not letting anything else stand in his way.
“I will always be me. I’ve seen enough of the business to know that chasing its praises will only land me in a world of disappointment and self-doubt. I’m wholly back in my chi and, fingers crossed, have the strength to stay.”
SHARON SILVASharon Silva is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter known for her emotionally resonant lyrics and powerful, expressive voice. As a founding member of the indie-folk band The Wild Reeds, Silva helped shape their signature harmony-driven sound before stepping into her solo career.

She has shared the stage with The Lone Bellow, Dylan LeBlanc and Damien Jurado, and has released a series of lyrically rich, anthemic singles—such as “People to Please,” “Monogamy,” and “Hold It Down”—that showcase her ability to balance sensitivity with strength.
Her debut album, “Underachiever” is out October 24th and includes contributions from Christian Lee Hutson, Al Menne (Great Grandpa), and Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers).

Black Infinity House – Opening Reception
2026-02-06 17:30 - 19:30 | Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade Ave, Hood River, OR, 97031-1724, United States
“The Black Infinity House art exhibit is focused on highlighting the visions, expressions, experiences and imaginations of local, black artists across multiple mediums.
The premise of the show comes from a concept I grasped when reading The Black Aesthetic II. The early pages of the book’s discussion illuminate the fact that Blackness is infinite. People may try to define what it means to be black; but it comes in all different forms, especially as we, as a people, constantly create new spaces and phenomenal forms of culture in order to to express ourselves and own our incredible power in safe environments —specifically made for us, by us.
This artists’ showcase is an experiential exhibit with three quadrants in the gallery that together are meant to demonstrate black art through the process of its creation, consumption and cultivation. Art will be displayed in three sectors called The Studio, The Living Room, and The Porch, respectively.”
