“…Like Hannah, William Tyler knows the South—as a crucible of American histories and cultures, an entity capable of expansive beauty and incomprehensible violence, often in the same beat—as his native place, the place that holds him and that he runs from. In the music of William Tyler, the South is not apart from America; the South is America condensed. ‘Goes West’ marks a sort of narrowing of focus for William’s music; it sounds as though he found a way to point himself directly towards the rich and bittersweet emotional center of his music without being distracted by side trips. Perhaps this is down to the fact that William only plays acoustic guitar on the album, a clear and conscious decision considering that he is one of Nashville’s great electric guitarists.”~ Merge Records

Mariee Siou
Folk/ Storyteller
Doors: 7:00pm • $15/advance $20/door
First Come LIMITED SEATING
Mariee Siou, now based in Portland, Oregon, is an abstract story teller of the natural world via a form of deep emotive folk music ushered by her clever wordsmithing and sharp ethereal voice . Through her music she strives to fill a cultural void left by severed connections to her Indigenous Mexican and Hungarian heritage and to thereby address the broader cultural voids felt by Americans today. She has been a fixture in the Neo-folk scene since her 2007 debut breakthrough album Faces in the Rocks, an album now acclaimed as a cult classic that remains one of the true gems of modern-day folk music. She is revered for her delicate finger picking style and poetic mysticism, often drawing immense feeling through a voice of soft potency and haunting sensitivity. Marie deeply values the medicinal qualities of music and believes that gathering to share her songs is ultimately for healing purposes.
She has extensively toured Europe and the US and has shared tours with acclaimed artists like Mazzy Star, Buffy St. Marie, Bert Jansch, Brightblack Morning Light, and Joanna Newsom.

Silver Triplets of the Rio Hondo/ Betty Benedeadly
Psychedelic Western Spaghetti/ Western Surf-Rock Banjo
Doors: 7:00pm • by Donation
Silver Triplets of the Rio Hondo is a Psychedelic Western outfit conceived by William Slater, songwriter & founding member of art-psych heavyweights Grails. Its sound marries sequenced synthesizer/strings, noise collage, & drum programming to a set of barrel-chested crooners, lending the songs of the Triplets an eerie camp that could live as easily on a dilapidated cruise ship as inside a honky-tonk bar. Ghost ballads floating about a dystopian way post. Extra-terrestrial highway jazz. The trio features the dreamy & toothsome embellishments of Haven Multz Matthews on skins and Christopher Cook wielding guitar leads that alternate between Bakersfield country & avant-noise in quick succession, & the samples dancing in and out of the periphery may leave an audience wondering how a sound at times so massive & strange can still feel somehow intimate.
Betty Benedeadly plays twang-edelic, foot-stomping ritualistic rhythms and guitar-driven motifs that draw from Ennio Morricone's Spaghetti Westerns, surf, and roots rock.

Roselit Bone!
Mexican Ranchera/ Goth Country
Music: 1:00pm/ $10 Suggested Donation
Finish off Blues Fest Weekend with the Infectious, raucous, soulful sounds of Roselit Bone!
After over a decade of touring, Roselit Bone have perfected an infectious and intense live show that has transfixed crowds in a nightly conversion ritual. Previously described by Oregon Public Broadcasting as “a unique type of gothic country rock that borrows heavily from Mexican ranchera music, rockabilly and the same lonely and wide-open spaces that inspired the classic Spaghetti Western scores of composer Ennio Morricone,” the Portland 8-piece – led by frontwoman Charlotte McCaslin – have deepened, shapeshifted, and outdone themselves on their fourth full-length record, Ofrenda.”

Two Bands – One Amazing Night of Music!
Petunia & the Vipers is a hillbilly-flavored, swing-inflected, ragtime- rolling, one-of-a-kind – you-don’t-want-to-miss kind of show! Petunia & the Vipers' sound may not sit comfortably in one certain genre, but "Good Music" describes it well. A new music that springboards off of music of the past and jumps into the present day – Something in between 1920's and steam punk. “Petunia and the Vipers glide effortlessly between every Country niche with the greatest of ease…” ~Alan Harrison, No Depression
“Petunia and the mother****ing Vipers. One of the best bands in the world today, of any kind.” ~Phil Alvin
The Barn Swallows will open the show, featuring original compositions and vocal harmonies, ranging from American folk to traditional jazz.
