Erika Lundahl, Singer
Songwriter
Erika is a local singer/songwriter, just returned from Ithaca College for the summer. She is absolutely ecstatic to be back in the Northwest, and particularly the Willamette Valley, which has inspired so much of her music. Her music and lyrics are centered around storytelling in the Folk tradition and her strong finger picking and alternative drumming and fingering techniques make for a unique combination. www.lafango.com/bendwithchange

Formerly Hines, Jazz
Fusion
The fusion band known only to a few as
"the artist formerly known as Hines" is an eclectic
mix if music flavors. Rock, jazz, country, folk, classical and
big band. This is a band with few illusions about how music must
be torn apart and rediscovered at every junction on a page of
words and notes. All, but a very few, of the songs and tunes
heard by this band are original. They tend to stretch the thoughts
when laying down a track or writing a word for the right phrasing
to make a song fly.
Saturday,
July 24, 5pm & 6:30pm

Al Rivers, Blues
Guitar and Vocals
"Aw yeah, this is blues the way
we like it. Rain fall. Tree shakin'. Likin' yo' peaches. Truck
broke. Good gal gone. Al Rivers walks the same old rode, but
utterly without pretension or artifice. He has a great, scraping
voice and a nimble, dirty way with the guitar." - Victory
Music Review, Tacoma, WA 2006. www.myspace.com/alriversblues
