“Much like the duo themselves, the songs range near and far, from the sticky humidity of the Carolinas to the arid and dusty cellars of the West, telling stories of simplistic beauty that unravel through gritty vocals and thoughtful harmonies. The bare authenticity of each song sweeps up the listener for a ride that might wander but will certainly not end in the same place where it began.” The Turkey Buzzards are currently finishing a second album and will be touring the US Spring 2017.

Fox and Bones are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde, if Bonnie and Clyde had driven a Volvo and played folk-pop music. Based in Portland, OR, these internationally touring sweethearts aren’t your average duo. Rather than simply documenting their experiences in song, Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore write from the perspective of quasi-fictional characters. There’s Fox, a down-and-out it girl, and Bones, a rootless orphan bad boy with a heart of gold. The two fall for each other, decide to hit the road, and never look back. The characters, as well as their real-life counterparts, use music as the canvas on which they paint a new life together that defies traditional relationship roles and life goals. Their music is ripe with vocal harmonies that pull at the heartstrings and a complex, at times metaphysical, lyrical landscape. Each element serves their stories of a life lived on the road, in pursuit of a dream that most never have the courage to chase. Live, they give audiences a peek into their world and challenge them to believe in life, adventure, and modern love.

The folks at Taco Loco Taco will be setting up in the Adrift Distiller’s parking lot to serve you lucky people some authentic, Mexican Street Tacos.

Guitarist Brian O’Connor will be serenading us his eclectic mix of jazz classics and original compositions in our elegant parlor.

It is Bunzow’s mix of eclectic musical influences – melding blues, country, rock and even jazz – that have helped establish him as an original artist of heartfelt depth, substance and style. He’s as likely to draw on his love of the music of scuffling barroom bard Tom Waits as he is the smooth R&B and soul of Marvin Gaye, the iconic folk wisdom of Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Ry Cooder or the blues of Albert King.

Shelburne favorite George Coleman returns to our parlor with his twelve-string guitar. Specializing in classical, gypsy jazz and notes of Latin flavor, come enjoy his soothing music in the Shelburne Parlor.

It has been said, by Courtney Love herself, that she first met her late husband Kurt Cobain at a Dharma Bums concert, at the now defunct legendary club Satyricon, in Portland, Oregon. Frontman for that Portland, Oregon outfit, which also featured The Decemberists’ drummer John Moen, is Jeremy Wilson, a staple of the vibrant Portland music scene. And, just as Portland’s music scene has changed over the years, so has Wilson, who has lived through – and weathered – the storms of the music industry the whole time. Which brings us to his forthcoming full-length, Empty Through Empty Space, his first true solo album (sans 2005’s Independence Vol. 1: Demos And Out-Takes – a collection of demos and out-takes Wilson had recorded over the years).

Buzz Holland (aka Frank Goodman) is a lifelong songwriter of many styles who performs on the guitar and some banjo, and sings. His partner Duck Holland
plays bass guitar.

His past includes many years with The Goodman Brothers (which featured the young Steve Kimock), many years with the maverick amp company Mesa Boogie, more than a decade of being a songwriter and webzine founder (puremusic.com) in Nashville, and more recently a decade with Duck Holland in Portland OR, where he returned to the stage after some years away.

Although he has made previous CDs as Frank Goodman and as The Goodman Brothers, his more recent CDs as Buzz Holland are The First 21 and Late Bloomer, the latter cut with his friends in the Nashville studio scene.

For some of the dates they’ve booked at The Adrift Hotel, Buzz and Duck Holland will be joined by Dan Eccles, who is an acclaimed Portland guitarist and recent inductee to the Oregon Music Hall of Fame.

Luke Ydstie and Kati Claborn met in 2008 at a band practice and have been playing together most days since. Their singing is honest and the harmonies are plentiful. The writing is thoughtful and inviting, and the instrumentation of guitars and banjo can be sparse and unsettling or driving and supportive in turns. They live in Astoria Oregon with their daughter, cat, and fish.

Though their writing has been described as “masterly” (Oregon Music News) and “earthy and approachable” (Bitch), these are not songs charging towards the mainstream on waves of electromagnetic radiation. This is not a band spraying buckshot for new fans. Moody Little Sister has built a loyal community around their music the old-old-old fashioned way: one listening room, house concert, front porch, and campfire at a time. Having called Alaska, Oregon, and New Mexico “home” over the past 7 years, their music contains an expansive landscape. It is New Folk for the American West that captures in a bottle the dust storms and tsunamis of the heart.

Along with a big fluffy dog named Triton, this is the same ground they’ve covered time and time again in their trusty van. It’s been a near-constant life on the road between Anchorage and Albuquerque. This shows in their effortless harmonies and the way every moment of a performance feels both confident and vulnerable.

“Overall, Sundae + Mr. Goessl is more than a vintage duo, their authenticity and commitment to the genre rings true, and the genuineness shines through in their renditions of these classic gems. The duo takes you through delightfully fun romps, to late night after hours sounds. Like listening to Billie Holiday, you feel you are taking two friends along with you on your day – it has that instantaneous likeability.”
