Tunesmith Night
The Wallowa Valley Music Alliance continues the 17th season of Tunesmith Night, a showcase of original music. The concert features three songwriters sharing their original work in a round-robin format, at the historic Enterprise Odd Fellows Hall. The unique listening space provides an up-close and intimate experience for both audience and performers.
The Saturday, April 8 concert features MidLo, Carolyn Lochert and Janis Carper. Doors open at 6:30pm with music starting at 7pm. Admission is $10. No food or drink service provided; BYO. MidLo lives, works, and writes songs in Wallowa County. Mostly, he strums those songs near the woodstove. But here and there, he'll venture out and sing them for people. Heavily influenced by the likes of Etta James, Billie Holiday, Abbey Lincoln, Aretha Franklin, Carolyn Lochert’s career has taken her from singing lead in rock, country and funk bands to playing in the “horn” sections of jazz ensembles. Studying composition at OSU started her on the path to writing her own music. Her first album, She’s Lookin’ Back, features Lochert’s smooth, sultry sound and some of Portand’s and Wallowa County’s finest musicians. Janis Carper is an award-winning songwriter, singer, and guitarist who has a dozen recordings to her credit. Her soulful vocals, masterful guitar playing, and well-crafted songs have been heard at festivals, concert halls and radio programs nationwide. Carper has an ability to craft lyrics and melodies that reach into the heart and mind. Her solid guitar playing supports songs that grip the listener—from the somber and reflective to the light and humorous, reflecting influences like Bonnie Raitt, Rosanne Cash, and Lucinda Williams. Lochert and Carper have been performing as the duo Jezebel’s Mother for several years, with a swirl of sweet harmonies and solid grooves. |
