1/11 – Lake Laconic & Pat Hull – Indie songwriter – Astoria, OR – *Album Release Show*
Lake Laconic has been chipping away at his music in the town of Astoria, OR.

Lake calls it “9 tracks of trying to piece something together with intention”.
Pat Hull is a singer-songwriter from Northern, CA. When Hull isn’t at home with his children, working on his first book of poetry or teaching at Chico State & Butte College, he creates music that intertwines a melodic, soulful, counter-tenor vocal range with a unique finger picking style, creating a dreamy landscape with unpredictable hooks and turns.
1/18 – Ell Sallad – GrungeGrass – Portland, OR
Eel Sallad can be best categorized as Pacific Northwest Americana Rock – with influences ranging from rock to reggae, from classical to grunge. They can sound like a folksy rock band when acoustic, or a fun grunge band when the drum kit and electric instruments come out.
