SUMMARY:Pajamarama with Fox and Bones / Haley Johnsen (solo) / Wild Blue Morning
DESCRIPTION:PAJAMARAMA: Two nights of the coziest Americana with Haley Johnsen\, Fox & Bones\, and friends! \nFriday\, November 21\, 2025 + Saturday\, November 22nd\, 2025 \n$15 Advance // $15 Day Of \n$23 Two-Night Ticket (Advance Only) \n6pm Doors // 7pm Music · All Ages \nSlip into your comfiest pajamas and step into the wildest dream—this is not your average night out. Pajamarama brings together two of the PNW’s premiere Americana acts for a weekend of warmth\, harmony\, and high-spirited songs. \nNight 1 – Friday\, November 21 \n⭐ Fox & Bones (full band) \n• Haley Johnsen (solo set) \n• Wild Blue Morning \nNight 2 – Saturday\, November 22 \n⭐ Haley Johnsen (full band) \n• Fox & Bones (trio) \n• Tim Karplus \nGet ready for soaring harmonies\, heartfelt storytelling\, and a community-style celebration that’s all about coziness and connection. Pajamas encouraged. Dancing inevitable. \nFOX AND BONES \nScott Gilmore and Sarah Vitort are Fox and Bones—energetic offbeat folksters with a retro-tinged\, soul-stirring\, modern vintage bent. The indomitable duo has brought their optimistic Americana polish to international stages shared with the likes of Rayland Baxter\, The Dead South\, ZZ Ward\, Fantastic Cat and ALO among others. \nFox and Bones’ fourth album titled “Long Time Honey” is a collaboration with esteemed songwriter Greg Holden and was awarded Best Folk/Americana Album of 2024 by the PNW Music Awards.Americana Highways (US) beamed Long Time Honey “should rightly be considered one of the best Americana albums of the year” and Naga Mag (Greece) lauded\, “The much-loved vocals are so familiar and warm that you feel the love overflowing inside you” \nTheir hardworking artistic output has earned them first place at the 2023 Tucson Folk Festival songwriting contest and second place in the International Acoustic Music Awards\, amongst other accolades. In between their rigorous tour schedule\, the duo founded Portland’s Folk Festival: an annual celebration of folk and Americana music at the iconic Crystal Ballroom in their hometown of Portland\, Oregon. \nHALEY JOHNSEN \nHaley Johnsen\, an Oregon-born artist\, fuses the heartfelt emotion of Americana with the infectious energy of Alt Pop. With a timeless voice that channels the soulful power of Brandi Carlile and the warm authenticity of Bonnie Raitt\, her music is deeply personal yet universally resonant. Rising to the top of American Idol Season 11\, Haley embarked on a prolific songwriting journey\, releasing acclaimed EPs and her debut album Golden Days (2019)\, which featured Allen Stone on the bluesy track “Weekend.” \nHaley has shared stages with acts like KT Tunstall\, Joseph\, and The Talbott Brothers and toured as bassist and backup vocalist for Big Wild\, performing at iconic festivals and venues such as Coachella and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Her pandemic-inspired album Goner (2022) blended retro pop with indie folk\, while her latest EP Late Bloomer (2024) mixes Texas twang with her Oregon roots\, focusing on growth and self-expression. Described as “an alt-pop Americana album with soul and a backbone” by Willamette Week\, Late Bloomer empowers listeners to find their voice and step into their power. Through captivating performances and heartfelt storytelling\, Haley leaves audiences feeling inspired\, seen\, and ready to embrace their true selves. \nWILD BLUE MORNING \nWild Blue Morning is the folk project of Portland based singer-songwriter Colin Andrews. His voice carries a ghostly rasp\, the sound of a real old time vagabond poet. The stories hit hard\, that old gibson rollin like lightning across a desert sunset. The very dust off his boots are like a magic that seduces the audience into awe\, reverie\, tears and laughter.

SUMMARY:The Deslondes / Kristina Murray
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 20th\, 2025 \n$25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nTHE DESLONDES \n“This band feels like the old family farm\,” says Sam Doores\, one of five songwriters and multi-instrumentalists in the Deslondes. “It’s a place where we can meet for the Fourth of July\, bring our families\, grill some burgers\, and make some music together. It’s always going to be there\, and we know it’s going to work and feel good.” After more than 15 years together\, four albums\, and countless live shows\, the five members have found new inspiration in the ties that bind them together as friends and collaborators\, as something close to kin. That sense of comfort and commitment animates their new album\, Roll It Out\, lending it a quiet poignancy as they reflect on what it means to devote yourself to other people—whether it’s family\, friends\, audiences\, or other guys in the tour van with you.  \n Founded less as a band than as a neighborhood hang at Doores’ home on Deslonde Street\, the band devised an anything-goes philosophy that allowed them to incorporate sounds they picked up on their travels and everything they heard at home: classic country\, hobo folk\, crust punk\, rural blues\, Third Ward jazz\, rockabilly\, r&b\, Fats Domino and Allen Toussaint but also George Jones and the Band. “We take turns giving each other somebody to lean on when it’s our turn and the freedom to express themself any way they want\,” says Riley Downing\, who usually plays guitar and sings his own and others’ songs. “That means we don’t have a particular genre. It’s a gumbo of all different genres and time periods. Everybody’s literally into everything.” \nRoll It Out recaptures the crackling energy of the band’s early days but also reflects the new perspective of age and maturity. “We’ve had some of these songs for a long while\, and fans who know us might well know some of these songs\,” says John James Tourville\, who plays electric guitar\, pedal steel and occasionally the fiddle\, and who writes songs but doesn’t sing them. “It’s about half and half old versus new\, so it feels both fresh and familiar to us. It reminds me of back when we were starting out\, before we were even the Deslondes—back when we were the Tumbleweeds. It’s like we’re moving forward to get to where we were.” \nKRISTINA MURRAY“I’ve been to some pretty low places these last ten years\,” Kristina Murray confesses. “Faced a lot of heartbreak and loss and grief\, but you have to learn to live with those things if you’re going to survive. You have to persevere.” \nThat spirit of perseverance forms the bedrock of Murray’s stunning new album\, Little Blue. Recorded with producers Misa Arriaga and Rachael Moore\, the collection grapples with loneliness\, desperation\, and existential crises through a series of cinematic snapshots of small-town burnouts and last call lovers. Murray is a country artist in the truest sense\, a genuine craftswoman with a keen eye and ear for the little details that bring her working-class characters to life\, and her delivery is timeless\, blurring the lines between the old school honky-tonk\, swampy Americana\, and R&B-infused southern rock she grew up on in her home state of Georgia. If Murray sounds like a seasoned vet on Little Blue\, that’s because she is. While the album marks her Normaltown debut\, Murray’s spent the last decade since moving to Nashville paying her dues in an endless series of dive bars and juke joints\, and the result is an electrifying introduction to an artist only just beginning to get the kind of wider recognition her talent has long warranted. \n“Country music is having a moment right now\, and of course I’m thrilled to be a part of that\,” Murray reflects. “But even when that moment passes\, I’ll still be making it. This genre’s a never-ending treasure chest of discoveries. Country music is who I am.” \nBorn and raised in Atlanta\, Murray first fell in love with country music at the age of five\, when she heard Patsy Cline’s Greatest Hits on cassette in her momma’s car. After self-releasing her debut album in 2013\, she moved to Nashville\, quickly finding her place in the community as she helped establish the now-legendary Honky Tonk Tuesdays series and became one of the first women to front a band at Santa’s Pub. \n“I wanted to surround myself with great writers and players so I could grow as an artist\,” Murray explains. “It’s funny to look back now and realize how little I knew when I first got to town\, but I was confident\, I’ll say that\,” she laughs.  \nMurray worked multiple jobs at a time to pay for her sophomore album\, Southern Ambrosia\, which landed on an array of Best Of lists and prompted Rolling Stone to declare her an Artist You Need To Know\, praising her sound as “country-rock with a deep\, poetic reverence for the land in which it was born.” The breakout critical acclaim didn’t translate to breakout success\, though\, and Murray soon found herself right back where she started\, unsure of where to go or what it all meant. \n“I felt stuck\,” she recalls. “My father died suddenly when I was 25\, a wound that never heals\, and through breakups\, car wrecks\, and just general brokenness\, all of which I was still processing when the whole world shut down in 2020. And while I’d had some brushes with notoriety and a few opportunities to tour in Europe and share bills with some fantastic artists over the years\, it just seemed like I was spinning my wheels getting nowhere.” \nSo Murray did what she always does when the going gets tough: she kept writing\, kept performing\, worked harder.  \n“I just wrote and wrote and stockpiled songs for the right opportunity\,” she explains. “I knew I needed to level up\, and that meant finding the people who could help me get there.” \nFirst up was Misa Arriaga (Kacey Musgraves\, Wyatt Flores)\, who’d collaborated with Murray on a covers project in 2022 and eagerly signed on to help her record a full-length LP. It was around this same time that Murray met Rachael Moore (T Bone Burnett’s longtime engineer)\, who was so blown away by Murray’s live show that she invited her to come record in Muscle Shoals pro bono. \n“I wanted to work with both of them\,” Murray recalls\, “but with two different producers in two different studios\, I honestly wasn’t sure how it would all come together. Rather than worry about it\, though\, I tried to just trust in the songs and be as present as possible in the moment\, which helped me fall more in love with the process than ever before.” \nIn the end\, the dual producer setup proved to be perfect for capturing the two sides of Murray’s creative personality. Over a winter weekend in Muscle Shoals with Moore\, she and the band dug deep and chased sounds with meticulous focus and precision; over a spring weekend back in Nashville with Arriaga\, they were able to let loose and embrace a spirit of improvisation and discovery. \n“Both producers work in very different ways\, but their techniques turned out to be really complementary\,” Murray explains. “The songs were so cohesive when they all came together. It just felt totally natural and organic.” \n“A lot of the characters on this record are coming to terms with the fact that life just has a lot of sadness in it\,” Murray reflects. “But making peace with that sadness is what allows you to carry on and find joy and meaning and purpose.” \n“Our time here is so short on this little blue dot\,” Murray muses\, “too short for all the bullshit we get caught up in day to day. This whole record is dropping in and out of these little snippets of sadness in life\, but I wanted to end on this note of hope\, this reminder that you can still find love and beauty no matter how dark things may seem.” \nAll it takes is a little perseverance. \nAnthony D’Amato

SUMMARY:Goodnight\,Texas / Ryan Sollee (of The Builders & The Butchers)  at Trout Lake Hall
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS RELEASE FRIDAY\, AUGUST 1st at 10am PST \nSunday\, November 16th\, 2025 \n$25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show5pm Doors / 6pm ShowAll Ages \nGOODNIGHT\, TEXAS \nConventional wisdom says the two frontmen of a band shouldn’t live on opposite sides of the United States\, but that’s never seemed to deter Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf. \nGoodnight\, Texas is a tough-to-define storytelling folk rock band whose strength lies in unexpected sweet spots. Drawing their name from Pat and Avi’s onetime geographic midpoint (the real town of Goodnight in the State of Texas\, a tiny hamlet east of Amarillo directly betwixt San Francisco\, CA and Chapel Hill\, NC)\, the five-piece band also exists at the center of its songwriters’ contrasting styles — via a 1913 Gibson A mandolin and a 2015 Danelectro Baritone Guitar\, at the crossroads of folk and blues and rock ‘n’ roll\, in a place where dry wit and dark truths meet hope and utmost sincerity. \nThe band’s new single\, “RUNAWAYS\,” trades the thought-provoking\, earthy blend of folk-rock for which they’re known\, for a beast of a hard-rock song. Indelible riffs\, thundering rhythms and a positively scorching lead guitar\, from none other than metal giant and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett\, prove that this band is not afraid to push their own musical boundaries.  \n“This is the hardest we’ve ever rocked on a recording\,” Patrick explains of the new single. “That’s thanks in no small part to an actual and absolute vintage Kirk Hammett wah solo on his legendary Greeny guitar\, about which I am self-pinching daily. The main riff of the song had been lurking in my drafts like a caged animal since our last album\, and at some point in the past year we decided it was time to set it free.” \n“We’re not abandoning our banjos and mandolins\, and in fact\, there’s banjo in there; if you squint you can hear it. For now though\, we’re slinging double electrics\, Scott traded brushes for drumsticks\, Chris is grinding the low strings\, and we have a metal legend coming in at the 2:25 mark.” \n2022 brought the band’s highly anticipated fourth album ‘How Long Will It Take Them To Die’\, a dark yet lighthearted shoebox of knick-knacks and newspaper clippings – perhaps reflecting on either two years of global isolation\, or the whole of American history. Where past Goodnight\, Texas albums have traveled cross-country and throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries\, this new offering falls on a z-axis somewhere between the aurora borealis and six feet underground. \nOf the album’s first single ‘Hypothermic’\, singer and co-songwriter Avi Vinocur says: \n“Stories from different corners of the American past can often be dark and heavy. Our band’s music has always followed along\, telling tales of fiction and non-fiction with sonic landscapes to match. Many of our past songs and albums had taken place in the American South\, Northeast\, Midwest\, and Southwest – but I had written a story in my notebook of a character braving the frigid tundra of Canada by car\, north toward the distant U.S. state of Alaska – through hallucinations\, paranoia\, and exhaustion – to escape something unknown. It matched the sinister sound of this strange heel-thumper I had been working with on guitar – and together they were a perfect pair. “Hypothermic” is the result – our attempt to tell stories of America’s furthest corner\, under a darker headlight\, and attempting to sonically capture the heaviness of not only America’s past\, but its present.” \nIn March 2020\, as the world confronted a new indoor reality\, two long minutes of the GN\,TX mainstay “The Railroad” found themselves in the intro sequence of the first episode of Netflix’s “Tiger King\,” which shattered streaming records with 34 million views in 10 days. \nIn 2021\, Goodnight\, Texas were invited by Metallica to contribute to The Metallica Blacklist\, a collection of reinterpretations of their legendary 1991 album Metallica (the Black Album). Goodnight\, Texas was the only band to cover “Of Wolf and Man” gaining praise from press and even Metallica themselves – they used the song over the PA following their live performances in late 2021.  \nRYAN SOLLEEAmerican singer/songwriter and musician from Anchorage\, Alaska\, currently living in Portland\, Oregon. Ryan Sollee is known mainly as the mastermind of the Portland-based folk rock/alt-country band The Builders And The Butchers.

SUMMARY:The Fretliners / Tillinghast Mtn Trio
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 14th\, 2025 \n$22 Advance // $25 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nTHE FRETLINERS \nIt is rare for there to exist a defining moment that changes the trajectory of four lives at once. But\, clear as a lightning bolt in an open field\, so electric was the moment The Fretliners first played together around a single microphone in the Cloverlick banjo shop barn one fateful evening\, they knew they would be inseparable from that moment on. \nThe Fretliners are a genuine and powerful bluegrass quartet recognized for their songwriting and undeniable chemistry. Their newfound camaraderie produces an energy that is as infectious on stage as it is on record. So much so that in the summer of 2023\, they won both band competitions at Telluride Bluegrass and Rockygrass Festivals—a feat that had only been accomplished once before. That September\, they released their debut eponymous album to acclaim and adoration. \n​ With one eye on the rear-view\, inspired by that traditional high lonesome sound\, The Fretliners navigate a road less traveled into the peaks of Rocky Mountain original bluegrass. \nTILLINGHAST MTN TRIO \nA Tillinghast Mtn Trio show involves deft songwriting\, smoking lead guitar\, improvisational cello\, and usually a healthy dose of off-beat humor. “Richard Tillinghast is a poet; he has traveled America and abroad with his senses open and attuned and has distilled many thoughts\, impressions and feelings into beautiful\, restless verse in song.” (Dave Horner\, Creative Loafing SC). Richard was a finalist in the Ozark Folk Festival 2024 songwriter contest. \nTova Tillinghast is a classically trained cellist and has performed with the Walla Walla Symphony\, Whitman College Symphony\, and the Columbia Gorge Sinfonietta. “A guitar and banjo playing singer-songwriter with a classically trained cellist is not an obvious choice\, but it’s a musical marriage that works beautifully.” (Rodger Nichols\, The Dalles Chronicle OR). \nLuke Maddox brings lead guitar and strong harmonies to the Trio. He is well known in the Columbia Gorge as band leader for Roux Dio and guitar picker for local favorites Chicken$#it Gamblers.

SUMMARY:Pressure Drop: a film by Teton Gravity Research hosted by LDT Wines
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 13th\, 2025 \n$15 Advance // $15 Day Of Show **Limited Tickets**6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nPRESSURE DROP \nPressure Drop is the latest chapter in a 30-year journey—forged from a dream\, fueled with cash from commercial fishing in Alaska\, and driven by an obsession with life on the edge. \nThis film follows the world’s best skiers and snowboarders\, alongside the next generation\, through Alaskan spines\, stacked pillow lines\, massive cliffs\, giant couloirs\, deep powder\, and insane jumps. From Norway to British Columbia\, California to Alaska\, and home in Jackson Hole\, Wyoming\, each line becomes a brushstroke in the art of descent. \nPressure Drop captures that fleeting space between calm and chaos—when breath slows\, vision sharpens\, and the mountain demands everything. It’s the moment before gravity takes over. \nFor three decades\, we’ve stood at the edge—where fear meets flow and everything else fades. Pressure Drop continues the tradition of what it means to dedicate your life to the fall line.

His banjo can whisper like a secret or roar like a freight train\, while his voice haunts the wind like a ghost in the pines. Armed with a banjo\, cello banjo\, and guitar\, his performances blend storytelling\, humor\, and raw energy. Whether strutting across the stage like a lanky heron or unleashing shreddy banjo licks\, Quattlebaum commands attention\, weaving tales of river ramblings\, backroad haunts\, and wild-eyed wanderers. His voice—gritty\, soulful\, and unfiltered—rides the line between raw vulnerability and raucous revelry\, pulling audiences into a world where bluegrass\, folk\, and cosmic country collide. \nAfter years on the road\, from dive bars to festival main stages\, Quattlebaum’s journey has taken him across continents and back again. From founding the acclaimed folk outfit Crow and the Canyon to sharing festival bills with icons at Outside Lands\, Northwest String Summit\, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, he has left his mark on stages big and small. As a solo artist\, his 2018 EP Vol. 1 unveiled a hypnotic blend of vintage folk and gritty Americana\, earning him a special niche in the scene. \nOffstage\, he’s a musical curator\, a festival founder\, and an unwavering champion of weird art. Whether leading a raucous sing-along or pulling an audience into a hushed\, banjo-plucked trance\, Quattlebaum doesn’t just perform—he creates an experience\, one song\, one story\, and one foot-stomping moment at a time. \nDADWEEDdadweed is an acoustic trio based out of Portland\, OR. Reimagining pickin’ and thumpin’ by blending elements of jazz/folk/pop/R&B within a traditional bluegrass lens\, their sets explore a wide variety of styles and dynamics – with a focus on improvisation – showcasing both covers and originals. Leaning heavily into three-part vocal harmonies and virtuosic instrumentation\, dadweed strives to redefine what’s possible in bluegrass. The trio has toured throughout the west coast since 2024\, appearing at festivals\, venues\, and private events. dadweed released their first EP in Summer 2024 and will continue to release new singles throughout 2025.

SUMMARY:Charlie Parr / Kendl Winter
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 11th\, 2025 \n$25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nCHARLIE PARR \nIn the music of Charlie Parr\, there is a sincere conviction and earnest drive to create. The Minnesota-born guitarist\, songwriter\, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year. Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows\, writing and rewriting songs as he plays\, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained. The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him\, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past. Parr sees himself merely as a continuer of a folk tradition: “I feel like I stand on a lot of big shoulders\,” he said in an interview. “I hope that I’ve brought a little bit of myself to the music.”  \nWith a discography simultaneously transcendental in nature and grounded in roots music\, Charlie Parr is the humble master of the 21st century folk tradition. Parr started recording in Duluth in 2002\, where he lives today. Life in the port town on Lake Superior has a way of bleeding into his work the same way his childhood in Austin\, Minnesota does. Parr self-released his debut album\, Criminals and Sinners\, and did the same for his sophomore album 1922 (2002). With growing popularity abroad\, Parr signed with Red House Records in 2015\, where he recorded break-out albums Stumpjumper (2015) and Dog (2017). Parr’s music has an overwhelming sense of being present and mindful\, and his sound is timeless. \nParr’s mastery of his craft is only more apparent when contextualized within the history of folk tradition of which Parr has dedicated his practice The land and lives around and intersecting with Parr have always influenced him\, from the hills and valleys of Hollandale\, Minnesota to the Depression-era stories from his father. Parr strives to listen to everything: “I don’t see that I’d ever be capable of creating anything if it weren’t for these inspirations and influences\, books and music as well as the weather and random interactions with strangers and animals. So\, the well never runs dry as long as my eyes and ears are open\,” Parr said in a 2020 interview. Before he was even 10 years old Parr was rummaging through his father’s record collection—sometimes drawing dinosaurs on the vinyl sleeves—and listening to country\, folk\, and blues legends\, many of whom are staples in the Folkways catalog. When Parr sings and plays his resonator or 12-string\, you can hear influences like Mance Lipscomb\, Charley Patton\, Spinder John Koerner\, Rev. Gary Davis\, and Dock Boggs. This is especially true in his playing\, when\, after a diagnosis of focal dystonia\, Parr turned to greats like Davis\, Doc Watson\, and Booker White for two-finger picking inspiration. Gifted a 1965 Gibson B-45 12-string by his father\, Parr has never had a formal lesson and learned by to listening records and watching musicians he admired.  \nParr’s first album with Smithsonian Folkways\, Last of Better Days Head (2021)\, foregrounded his lyrical craftsmanship and sophisticated bluesman confidence\, with spare production highlighting Parr’s mastery of guitar and elevating his poetry. Last of Better Days Ahead is a portrait of how Parr saw the world in that moment\, reflecting on time and memories that have past while holding an enduring desire to be present. In his 2024 release\, Little Sun\, Parr weaves together stories celebrating music\, community\, and communing with nature. Putting forth an ambitious and raw album that exemplifies the best of Parr’s sound: a blend of the blues and folk traditions he continues to carry with him and the steadfast originality of a poet. \nKENDL WINTER \nKendl Winter is an acclaimed singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist\, best known as one half of the Americana duo The Lowest Pair. Arkansas-born\, Winter has cultivated a diverse musical background encompassing country\, bluegrass\, and lo-fi indie folk\, her artistic journey characterized by a profound spirit of creativity and exploration. Best known for her banjo playing\, Winter has recorded several well-received solo albums for Olympia’s K Records\, including 2013’s “It Can Be Done!”\, before joining the roster of Team Love Records for 2018’s “Stumbler’s Business”. Her visionary approach to composition has earned her widespread recognition\, making her most recent instrumental album “Banjo Mantras” a highly received addition to her remarkable body of solo work.

DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 10th\, 2025 \n$25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nCHARLIE PARR \nIn the music of Charlie Parr\, there is a sincere conviction and earnest drive to create. The Minnesota-born guitarist\, songwriter\, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year. Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows\, writing and rewriting songs as he plays\, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained. The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him\, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past. Parr sees himself merely as a continuer of a folk tradition: “I feel like I stand on a lot of big shoulders\,” he said in an interview. “I hope that I’ve brought a little bit of myself to the music.”  \nWith a discography simultaneously transcendental in nature and grounded in roots music\, Charlie Parr is the humble master of the 21st century folk tradition. Parr started recording in Duluth in 2002\, where he lives today. Life in the port town on Lake Superior has a way of bleeding into his work the same way his childhood in Austin\, Minnesota does. Parr self-released his debut album\, Criminals and Sinners\, and did the same for his sophomore album 1922 (2002). With growing popularity abroad\, Parr signed with Red House Records in 2015\, where he recorded break-out albums Stumpjumper (2015) and Dog (2017). Parr’s music has an overwhelming sense of being present and mindful\, and his sound is timeless. \nParr’s mastery of his craft is only more apparent when contextualized within the history of folk tradition of which Parr has dedicated his practice The land and lives around and intersecting with Parr have always influenced him\, from the hills and valleys of Hollandale\, Minnesota to the Depression-era stories from his father. Parr strives to listen to everything: “I don’t see that I’d ever be capable of creating anything if it weren’t for these inspirations and influences\, books and music as well as the weather and random interactions with strangers and animals. So\, the well never runs dry as long as my eyes and ears are open\,” Parr said in a 2020 interview. Before he was even 10 years old Parr was rummaging through his father’s record collection—sometimes drawing dinosaurs on the vinyl sleeves—and listening to country\, folk\, and blues legends\, many of whom are staples in the Folkways catalog. When Parr sings and plays his resonator or 12-string\, you can hear influences like Mance Lipscomb\, Charley Patton\, Spinder John Koerner\, Rev. Gary Davis\, and Dock Boggs. This is especially true in his playing\, when\, after a diagnosis of focal dystonia\, Parr turned to greats like Davis\, Doc Watson\, and Booker White for two-finger picking inspiration. Gifted a 1965 Gibson B-45 12-string by his father\, Parr has never had a formal lesson and learned by to listening records and watching musicians he admired.  \nParr’s first album with Smithsonian Folkways\, Last of Better Days Head (2021)\, foregrounded his lyrical craftsmanship and sophisticated bluesman confidence\, with spare production highlighting Parr’s mastery of guitar and elevating his poetry. Last of Better Days Ahead is a portrait of how Parr saw the world in that moment\, reflecting on time and memories that have past while holding an enduring desire to be present. In his 2024 release\, Little Sun\, Parr weaves together stories celebrating music\, community\, and communing with nature. Putting forth an ambitious and raw album that exemplifies the best of Parr’s sound: a blend of the blues and folk traditions he continues to carry with him and the steadfast originality of a poet. \nCRYSTAL LARIZACrystal 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 world class acts such as\, Mavis Staples\, Robert Plant\, Old Crow Medicine Show and The Travelin’ McCourys. The IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) nominated her for Vocalist of the Year in 2022 & 2023. She has written songs for TV and commercials and continues to write\, tour and teach with her Bluegrass-Americana band\, Never Come Down.

SUMMARY:BARN BURNER: Kelsey Waldon / Sterling Drake
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS RELEASE FRIDAY JUNE 27th @ 7am PST / 10am EST \nSaturday\, September 27th\, 2025 \n$20 Advance // $25 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nBARN BURNER shows are all about the dancing! No matter who might be on the stage\, you are guaranteed to groove.  \nKELSEY WALDON \nIn the six years since she signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records\, Kelsey Waldon has earned wide praise for her “self-penned compositions [with] the patina of authenticity” (Rolling Stone). On her new album\, Every Ghost\, she confronts addiction\, grief\, generational trauma\, and even herself — and comes through it stronger and at peace.  \n“There’s a lot of hard-earned healing on this record\,” Waldon says of the nine-song project\, recorded at Southern Grooves studio in Memphis with her band\, The Muleskinners. As she sings in the record’s title track and first song\, “Ghost of Myself\,” she’s put in the work not only to better herself and leave behind bad habits\, but also to learn to love her past selves. \nDoing so wasn’t easy\, Waldon admits. “It took time and experience\,” she says\, adding that she can now find compassion for her younger self. \n“I think you’ve gotta respect her\,” Waldon says\, “because she was trying as hard as she could for where she was at\, and she was doing a damn good job.” \nCompassion is a throughline on Every Ghost\, whether it’s for Waldon herself\, for the person in the throes of addiction in “Falling Down\,” or for a suffering world in “Nursery Rhyme.” The people in Waldon’s songs aren’t irredeemable — they’re struggling. \n“You’ve got to have compassion; you gotta stay humble and have gratitude\,” Waldon says. However\, she’s learned that you also can’t let people take advantage of an empathetic heart. “Comanche” — which Waldon jokes is her very own truck song — finds Waldon grappling with the loss of a loved one\, not to death but to boundaries she’s set for her own good. Waldon owns a 1988 Jeep Comanche\, and driving it serves as a kind of therapy for her. \n“I love the whole aspect of when design mattered\,” she says\, “and owning your car was an expression of yourself.” \n“Comanche” is deeply personal\, but Waldon’s most introspective reflections bookend My Ghost. Its penultimate song\, “My Kin\,” extends the idea of loving yourself in spite of yourself beyond the choices she’s made and the circumstances she’s put herself in\, to reckon with both the good and the bad that come from her family tree. Those traits\, Waldon concludes\, make her who she is. \n“As the song says\, ‘I’m the best and worst of my kin\,’ and I love that for myself\,” says Waldon\, who was born and raised in a hunting lodge at the end of a dead-end road in the rural\, unincorporated community of Monkey’s Eyebrow\, Ky. “And I’m also at a point where I’m willing to break these cycles\, I’m willing to grow\, I’m willing to evolve.” \nAmong those best parts of her lineage is Waldon’s grandmother\, who died in June 2024. “She was a remarkable woman. The women in my family have been rocks\, and they’ve all been colorful and full of character\,” Waldon says. \n“Her garden and her yard\, that might have been one of the things she took the most pride in\,” Waldon adds\, recalling how her granny would often stop to dig up roadside flowers\, then transplant them into her yard. A display of tiger lilies\, some of which now grow in Waldon’s yard in Tennessee\, was a particular point of pride. \n“Transplanting is such a tradition — it can teach you a lot\,” Waldon says. “Life goes on\, beauty can grow from anywhere\, and as long as a person is remembered\, they’re never gone.” \nWaldon honors her granny with the song “Tiger Lilies.” She didn’t want an over-the-top sentimental song\, so she instead leaned into the idea of traditions as a way to remember loved ones. “I’m sure Granny would love it\,” Waldon says.  \nEvery Ghost concludes with a Hazel Dickens cover\, “Ramblin’ Woman.” Waldon covered two Dickens songs on 2024’s There’s Always a Song and had added “Ramblin’ Woman” to their live sets as well. While Waldon didn’t originally intend to include their cover on this album\, it served as “a sonic star” during the recording process and has a message Waldon feels is still relevant decades after Dickens wrote it. \n“Hazel was ahead of her time\,” Waldon says. “Our existence is more than just what society expects of us. We’re more than just somebody’s girlfriend or wife or mother\, and those are all beautiful things\, but we can have our own independence\, and we don’t have to do it for anybody else. We’re beautiful\, magical\, and powerful creatures.” \nThat’s certainly how Waldon sees herself after completing Every Ghost. “It feels like there’s a spirit of fearlessness throughout this album\,” Waldon says\, “and I’m really proud of that.” \nWaldon’s fearlessness is among the reasons she landed at Oh Boy Records in 2019\, as the independent label’s first new signee in 15 years. It’s attracted fans to her headline tours and her festival sets\, and prompted artists including Tyler Childers\, Charley Crockett\, Robert Earl Keen\, Margo Price\, and Lucinda Williams to invite her on tour. It helped earn her both the title of “Kentucky Colonel” — an honor recognizing goodwill ambassadors of Kentucky’s culture and traditions — and a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s annual American Currents exhibit in 2024. \n“True outlaw shit is sticking to your guns\, and I feel like I’m doing that\,” Waldon says. “I’m not saying I’m unbreakable\, but I feel almost unbreakable. I’ve already hurt the worst that I could and lived to tell the story. We can be thankful for our ghosts.” \nSTERLING DRAKE \nThe journey of Americana songwriter Sterling Drake has taken him from the Big Cypress of south Florida to the mountains of western Montana and everywhere in between. With a penchant for honest storytelling\, Drake weaves his own perspective into the American songbook\, often highlighting a strong sense of place. In 2021\, he began releasing a series of singles and EPs that prompted Rolling Stone to praise his “rough-hewn aesthetics\,” and in 2024\, he took home Male Honky Tonk Artist of the Year honors at the annual Ameripolitan Awards in Austin. \nThe Shape I’m In\, Drake’s captivating debut\, is a lively jaunt through the landscapes of roots music. Produced by Grammy-winning Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Thorleifur Davidsson (Sierra Ferrell\, KALEO)\, the 14-track record subverts expectations and reimagines the familiar sounds that have shaped country music. The writing is profoundly existential\, and the performances are raw and revealing to match\, captured live in just two days of tracking with an all-star cast of players. The band’s chemistry is palpable\, with a sound that’s timeless and inviting even as it remains loose and rough around the edges. The Shape I’m In finds Drake stretching beyond his honky tonk roots\, expanding his sonic palette with lush\, harmonically adventurous arrangements as indebted to Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt as Merle Haggard and Roger Miller.

SUMMARY:The Bones of J.R. Jones / Byland
DESCRIPTION:Tickets Release Thursday\, May 22nd at 10am! \nTrout Lake Hall 3 Year Anniversary Show! \nFriday\, September 26th\, 2025 \n$25 Advance // $30 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nTHE BONES OF J.R. JONES \nGrowing up\, Jonathon Linaberry was obsessed with the radio. \n“I remember sitting there at night\, glued to the boombox\, cassette player ready to record whenever my favorite songs came on\,” he recalls. “There was something so thrilling about it\, something romantic that I think we’ve lost now that everything’s available at our fingertips. I wanted to find a way to get back to that place\, to recapture those feelings of excitement and anticipation and possibility.” \nLinaberry does precisely that on Radio Waves\, his sixth studio album as The Bones Of J.R. Jones. Recorded in Toronto with producer Robbie Lackritz (Feist\, Bahamas)\, the collection is moody and hypnotic\, steeped in the sonic landscape of the ’80s and ’90s as it excavates the past with equal parts nostalgia and curiosity. The arrangements are utterly entrancing here\, built on the tension between acoustic instruments and retro synthesizers\, and Linaberry’s performances are raw and visceral\, at times aching in their vulnerability. Put it all together and you’ve got a poignant exploration of memory and longing delivered by a relentless searcher\, a revelatory work of personal reflection steeped in the endless beauty\, pain\, and chaos of youth. \n“I’ve never really resonated with the idea of ‘the good old days\,’” Linaberry reflects. “Your understanding of the past and your relationship with it change as you get older\, and I’ve always been more interested in the evolution of those feelings than in wearing any kind of rose-colored glasses.” \nBorn and raised in central New York\, Linaberry got his start playing in hardcore and punk bands before becoming enamored with the field recordings of Alan Lomax\, who documented rural American blues\, folk\, and gospel musicians throughout the 1930s and ’40s. Inspired by the unvarnished honesty of those vintage performances\, Linaberry launched The Bones of J.R. Jones in 2012 and\, operating as a fully independent artist\, began releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums and EPs that would land his songs in a slew of films and television shows (including True Detective\, Suits\, Daredevil\, Longmire\, and Graceland) and lead to countless tours across the US and Europe (including stops everywhere from Telluride Blues to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass). Along the way\, Linaberry also shared bills with the likes of The Wallflowers\, G. Love\, and The Devil Makes Three\, soundtracked an Amazon commercial helmed by Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi\, and earned praise from Billboard\, American Songwriter\, Under the Radar\, and more. \n“After a dozen years of touring and recording\, I found myself getting burnt out by the constant barrage of new music that’s out there\,” Linaberry reflects. “In some ways\, it’s great to have that kind of access\, but it can also be numbing\, and I found myself missing what it felt like to have an album change your life\, to listen to your cassette of Born In The USA so many times you have to wind the tape back up with a pencil.” \nLinaberry set out to tap back into that magic on Radio Waves\, writing songs steeped in the sounds and stories of his own coming of age. He tuned out the modern world in favor of stark\, lo-fi demos built around fingerpicked guitars and old school electronics\, and when it came time to record the album\, he leaned into working with an outside producer for the first time\, traveling to Canada for two ten-day sessions at Lackritz’s studio. \n“A lot of these songs started on a drum machine\, which was very intentional\,” Linaberry explains. “I wanted to focus on simplicity\, on stripping tracks back to their most essential elements so that the melody and the vocals could shine.” \nThe result is an almost primal sound\, familiar yet uneasy\, like a memory hanging perpetually just out of reach. \n“These songs live in the night—the endless kind\, where you get in your car just to drive and listen to music\, to feel like you’re going somewhere even if you’re not\,” Linaberry says. “It’s the sound of a kitchen heavy with the leftover heat of an August day and a table crowded with drinks\, of arguments and first loves and first heartbreaks\, of not living up to your potential\, of breaking promises\, of being human.” \nTake a listen to album opener “Car Crash” and you’ll understand exactly what he means. Tender and hazy\, the track offers up a bittersweet embrace of life’s imperfections\, finding meaning and connection in our shared flaws and shortcomings. “I want your whole heart\,” Linaberry professes\, “even the broken parts.” Like much of the record\, it’s insistent yet understated\, as much a celebration as it is a confession. The sensuous “Savages” revels in the reckless abandon of young adulthood\, while the spare “Heart Attack” stares disappointment directly in the face\, and the piercing “Shameless” works its way through a lifetime of what ifs. \n“Our lives are an endless series of revolving doors\,” Linaberry reflects. “Even the smallest decisions can change our entire trajectory. What kind of arrogant fool doesn’t look back and wonder?” \nThat sense of lostness\, of uncertainty as to who we are and where we belong turns up throughout the record. The blistering “Drive” devours itself from the inside out in the tedious solitude of the road; “The Devil” grapples with identity\, intimacy\, and dependence; and the breezy “Catching You” wonders what we were ever trying to prove with all the debaucherous nights and bad decisions of youth. \n“I think so many of us live in the past because it’s easier to face than the future\,” Linaberry explains. “But I’m not interested in going back. I’m interested in understanding the feelings and experiences that made us who we are: the passion and the hunger\, the faults and the failures\, the hopes and the fears. \nTruth be told\, those feelings never really go away. They’re all still out there\, floating in the ether\, drifting through eternity on an endless sea of radio waves. All you have to do is tune in. \nBYLAND \nByland is the moniker and last name of Seattle based\, Albuquerque raised\, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist\, Alie Renee. Alie’s cinematic\, indie-rock sound is grounded by vocally vulnerable moments that will move you to lean in. The acclaimed project has received recognition from outlets like KEXP\, Under The Radar\, American Songwriter\, Flood Magazine\, and others. \nByland’s latest studio record\, “Heavy For A While”\, is both timeless and “a little weird” and makes room for her intriguing and often offbeat arrangements – released on Mother West in March of 2024. The record was co-written with her partner and primary collaborator\, Jacob John. A Grammy award winning team brought it to life\, including production by Nathan Yaccino (Matt Cameron\, Pearl Jam\, Norah Jones)\, mixing by Brandon Bell (Brandi Carlile\, Joni Mitchell\, Dolly Parton)\, and mastering by Pete Lyman (Brandi Carlile\, Jason Isbell\, Chris Stapleton). Notable contributors alongside Alie include a lineup of powerful females – Jessica Dobson (Deep Sea Diver)\, Meagan Grandall (Lemolo)\, and Abby Gundersen. In support of the record\, Alie\, along with her four-piece band of seasoned musicians including Skyler Mehal\, Manny Rodriguez and Nate Yaccino have toured the West and East Coasts. \n“The passion for performing was palpable. Byland manages to prove you can have both emotionally vulnerable lyrics that sneak up on you like a gut punch and a lively performance that is brimming with fun. The beautiful blend is only enhanced by Alie Renee’s amazing vocal range\, which is even better live than on the album.” \n– Sara Giza\, Willamette Week
