SUMMARY:Joe Pug / Dillon Warnek
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 12th\, 2026 \n$30 Advance // $35 Day of6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nJOE PUG \nA singer-songwriter known for his lyrical acumen and plaintive harmonica style\, Joe Pug dropped out of college and moved to Chicago where he worked as a carpenter before breaking into the city’s music scene. Since 2008 he has released a string of critically-acclaimed albums and toured heavily in the U.S. and abroad. Paste Magazine wrote of his music: “Unless your surname is Dylan\, Waits\, Ritter or Prine\, you could face-palm yourself to death trying to pen songs half as inspired.” \nHe has toured with Steve Earle\, Levon Helm\, The Killers\, Justin Townes Earle\, Sturgill Simpson\, and many others. He has appeared at Lollapalooza\, Bonnaroo\, and The Newport Folk Festival. His music has appeared on NPR’s “Prairie Home Companion” and “Mountain Stage”. His music has been released by Lightning Rod Records\, which features an alumni roster of Jason Isbell\, Billy Joe Shaver\, and James McMurtry. \nAdditionally\, he is the creator and host of the popular podcast The Working Songwriter. \nDILLON WARNEK \nAs The Neighbors Tried To Sleep is a gritty\, funny\, and painfully honest collection of late-night tales where chandeliers turn into piñatas\, landfills bloom with flowers\, and strange characters drift in and out like half-remembered dreams. It’s an album that walks the fine line between heartbreak and humor\, finding poetry in the wreckage and warmth in the weirdness of being alive. \nA construction worker by day and a keyboard poet by night\, Warnek has emerged as one of Music City’s most skillful new songwriters\, blending a myriad of influences into something entirely his own. The verve and attitude of Warren Zevon\, the piano-pop of Tumbleweed Connection-era Elton John\, the pumping ’70s glam-rock of Ian Hunter and Mott The Hoople\, the folk-rock earthiness of classic Bob Dylan and the sharp-tongued balladry of Randy Newman; they’re all here\, bound together by Warnek’s raggedly earnest vocals and wry lyrics. Warnek is the rare songwriter who can make you laugh\, wince\, and get a little misty-eyed — sometimes all at once. \nLyrically\, Warnek revels in twisted\, two-fisted tales of life’s darker side. He dives headfirst into reckless evenings spent on borrowed money\, hazy mornings waking up in a stranger’s trailer\, and daydreams about keeling over with too many secrets to reveal. It’s a world of bruised knuckles\, bad decisions\, and beautiful mistakes — told with a wink and a wince. \nOnstage\, Warnek holds court at his keyboard\, blending wry anecdotes with subversive lyricism and a showman’s charm. Some say there are no good piano men anymore. They just haven’t seen Warnek.

SUMMARY:Landscape presented by the Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association \nLandscape \nGorge Sinfonietta \nFriday\, November 13 at 7 PM\, Sunday November 15 at 2 PM \nWy’east Middle School Performing Arts Center \n  \n  \nThe Gorge Sinfonietta launches an exciting new chapter with the arrival of its new conductor\, Lars Campbell\, making his debut with the ensemble this season\, with Landscape\, an evocative concert celebrating the power and drama of the natural world. \n  \nFramed by the dramatic vistas of the Columbia River Gorge and standing in the twin shadows of Mount Hood and Mount Adams\, the Gorge Sinfonietta’s season premiere mirrors the rugged beauty of the region through musical storytelling. Campbell curated the Landscape program specifically to reflect the majesty and grandeur that define the local community. \n  \n“This program channels the expansive sense of place\, connecting the dramatic natural landscapes of the Columbia River Gorge with the rich\, emotive worlds created by master symphonic composers\,” said Campbell. \n  \nThe concert anchors around Jean Sibelius’ Symphony No. 3\, a work renowned for its pastoral clarity\, organic architecture\, and triumphant\, epic finale that evokes the raw majesty of Nordic vistas—resonating naturally with the Cascade range. Continuing the journey across geography and memory\, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ folk-infused Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1 paints a tender\, misty portrait of an English coastal fishing village\, capturing the reflective\, water-shaped contours of life by the river. Adding dramatic contrast\, Antonín Dvořák’s fiery Hussite Overture ignites the stage with rhythmic drive and historic passion\, carving a rugged musical terrain as commanding as the Gorge canyon itself. \n  \nWith Landscape\, Campbell and the Sinfonietta invite audiences to hear their surroundings anew—bridging the iconic summits of Hood and Adams and the timeless currents of the Columbia River with orchestral masterworks. \n  \nA seasoned conductor and trombonist\, Lars Campbell has led numerous performances for Third Angle New Music\, the Clackamas Wind Ensemble\, and Clackamas Repertory Theater\, in addition to performing with the Oregon Symphony. Drawn to CGOA by the vibrant community support in the Gorge\, Lars focuses on building connection and togetherness through music. Outside of conducting\, he is an avid hiker and kayaker\, an average golfer\, and a passionate fan of composer Leoš Janáček. \n  \nThe Sinfonietta Landscape concerts will be Friday\, November 13 at 7 PM\, and Sunday\, November 15 at 2 PM. Concerts will be at the Wy’east Middle School Performing Arts Center at 3000 Wy’east Rd in Odell. Tickets are available 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. \n  \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. \n
