Wm. Surly & Barroom Gospel / Jackie Straw

Laurelthirst

Live MusicDance

https://www.facebook.com/p/William-Surly-100063511720922/ William Surly is a singer/songwriter and founder of The Barroom Gospel Band, who saddles his proverbial horse in Portland, Oregon, and is no stranger to the western cocktail. Within the music The Barroom Gospel Band blends classic country with equal parts honky tonk, folk, soul, rock and a whole lot of tequila. Inspired by story tellers the likes of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson, and rejuvenated by the modern sounds of Sturgil Simpson and Whitey Morgan And The 78’s, Surly pays homage to the ones who came before him, singing songs for those best suited for a bar stool and a long running tab. https://www.instagram.com/missjackiestraw/ Jackie Straw started out in the Denver music scene with all-girl band Pistols in Petticoats. She cut her teeth playing bluegrass nationally and quickly realized it was time to start a new project. Jackie & The Racket was formed with local players in the Denver area. Jackie recorded Goal Digger and Tough Luck Cowboy under JATR at SwingFinger Studios in Northern Colorado with notable players on these records like Pat Lyons, Tyler Grant, Adrian Engfer, and Natalie Padilla. During the pandemic, Jackie realized it was time to reach for the stars and is now based out of Nashville. She spends half her time in Denver and half her time in Nashville. Jackie has rebranded again to her most authentic self, Jackie Straw. Jackie is working on a new record with Ken Croomer at Cartoon Moon Recording. She is continually bending genres and bringing psychedelic country music to our ears. Her largest inspirations are Dolly Parton and Jerry Garcia and she brings a sense of sass to her music that is refreshing.https://www.facebook.com/p/William-Surly-100063511720922/ William Surly is a singer/songwriter and founder of The Barroom Gospel Band, who saddles his proverbial horse in Portland, Oregon, and is no stranger to the western cocktail.

Josh Cole's bluegrass Matinee

Laurelthirst

Live MusicDance

https://www.joshcolemusic.com Josh Cole has been playing bluegrass in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years. It started in the late 90s, when he first heard “Midnight Moonlight” from Old and In the Way. That moment forever bonded Josh to bluegrass music. He went on to serve as President of the Oregon Bluegrass Association and continues to host “Music From the True Vine” on KBOO-FM, the longest running bluegrass show West of the Mississippi. Josh’s influences include Ralph Stanley, Larry Sparks, and Bill Monroe, many of whom are featured on the Josh Cole Bluegrass Show, his podcast with nearly 200 episodes of traditional bluegrass recordings. Josh has played in dozens of bands, along with running his own hard-driving bluegrass band for nearly two decades. That’s why hometown fans have lovingly nicknamed him “The Elvis of Portland Bluegrass.”

This grassroots Portland organization runs a 24/7 hotline, provides legal support, and mobilizes volunteers to defend immigrant families across Oregon.Music brings us together, and so does showing up for our Portland community.
