The Quadraphonnes, Portland’s all-women sax quartet, will perform the music of the eccentric artist Moondog at the Alberta Rose Theater on March 7. Moondog was a blind street musician in New York City who worked with some of the biggest names in music in the mid-20th century, including Philip Glass, Leonard Bernstein, Charlie Parker and Benny Goodman. We’ll hear more about the show and get an in-studio performance from the quartet: Mieke Bruggeman on baritone saxophone, Chelsea Luker on alto and soprano saxophone, Michelle Medler on tenor saxophone, and and Mary-Sue Tobin on alto and soprano saxophone.

with the group Sandbox Percussion. They experimented with different instruments and sounds, and worked together to create a piece called “Seven Pillars.” The piece was nominated for two Grammy awards and the Pulitzer prize this year. It is being performed on Tuesday night at the Alberta Rose Theater in Portland. Akiho joins us to talk about how lights, video and percussion all come together in this piece.

This woman is a powerhouse. Not only in vocals and performance, but also in how she communicates and sees the world…and she has the most enviable mane of hair i’ve ever seen! There is a mystery that surrounds Kris for me, like she could be a character out of a kerouac novel. When she’s on stage she gives herself completely to the performance and it feels like you’ve known her all your life. But run into her at a coffeeshop, and she’ll be polite and friendly, funny and warm, while exuding the sense of knowing the secrets of the world but she’ll never tell you.She moved to Portland from California 20+ years ago and is unafraid to talk about her part in gentrification - displacing other people when she moved into NorthEast Portland and how folks now are still being displaced by “development & progress”. This woman knows her heart and is fearless in talking about the things most of us would rather not.She was half of the duo Kris & Adam when she arrived in the Northwest, which later became Sweetjuice. Decades of touring and living the troubadour lifestyle came to a halt when her mother became ill and she had to remain in portland to caretake. So… she created a 10-piece soul band called The Hurt and played about as much as a band can play regionally during the 5 years she was tethered to Portland. Kris DeeLane and The Hurt consistently play shows at Alberta Rose Theater, Doug Fir Lounge, and The Laurelthirst. Kris is also a very key figure in The Next Waltz - a tribute to The Band’s “Last Waltz” by many of Portlands finest musicians to raise money for The Jeremy Wilson Foundation.In this podcast, Kris DeeLane dives deep into many things other people might gloss over.*Explicit Language*We’d like to thank our very first sponsor for SONGBONES Podcast!!Chickadee RemedyMUSIC CREDITSOPHELIA - (INTRO/OUTRO) - Les Hayden HTTPS://LESHAYDEN.BANDCAMP.COMSouthern Church - Jeremy Sherman (PRS) / Lynne Publishing (PRS) - http://neosounds.comRound The Bend - John Francis Jorgensen (BMI) / Lynne Publishing (PRS) - http://neosounds.comBad Woman - Julio Kladniew (SADAIC) / Lynne Publishing (PRS) - http://neosounds.comRECORDED AND HOSTED BY MICHELLE MCAFEE (MUSIC / PHOTOGRAPHY)© 2018-2019 SONGBONES MAGAZINE AND PODCAST

This is the LIVE podcast show from the Alberta Rose Theater in Portland, OR with special guests Zach Osborne and Justin Bogle

We kicked off our year-long tenth anniversary celebration with a series of personal, one-on-one interviews with notable Oregonians at the Alberta Rose Theater about how the last decade has changed them.

It’s OMN Coffeeshop Conversation #172 right here at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan. In with me today is one of the busiest guitarists in town, Mark Bowden. He’ll play at the 7th annual Next Waltz show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday November 23-25 at The Alberta Rose Theater. A portion of the proceeds benefit the Jeremy Wilson Foundation and patrons are encouraged to bring two non-perishable food items for Oregon Food Bank. He’ll also be playing at the 2018 Stumptown Soul Holiday Spectacular at the Wonder Ballroom on Saturday, December 15 to benefit Shriner’s Hospital for Children. Now that you know that, meet Mark Bowden.

Back here at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan…with me today is one of Oregon’s great singers, Shirley Nanette. She’s sung it all, Jazz, Soul, Blues…you name it. She’ll be a part of the Albina Soul Revue on Friday, November 16 at Alberta Rose Theater along with many other vintage Soul musicians. We’ve never met, although she’ll call my KMHD show now and then when she likes something I’ve played. I’ve been looking forward to talking to Shirley Nanette.

From the air conditioned cupping room at World Cup Coffee and Tea, NW 18th & Glisan in smoky Portland this is OMN Coffeeshop Conversation number 160. Coming up next month is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of Tony Starlight. He was already alive and grown at that time, but his career as Tony the crooner, entertainer, nostalgia boy, club owner and one funny guy began in 1993…and I will let him tell you how because he’s sitting next to me. And he just took off his Portland Mavericks hat. Not dressed to perform at the moment but we’ll get into how he chooses his outfits later. His anniversary show will be Saturday, September 22 at the Alberta Rose Theater and it will be something special…and he’s going to tell you all about it and a lot of other things about himself that you might have never known. And now ladies and gentlemen……….

Stories often emerge from scribblings in notebooks. But we also find them tumbling out of pantries, rolled amid rumpled shirts in suitcases and spewing forth from text messages with friends. This week we feast on offerings from brilliant writers and one man who’s spent 50 years honing his songwriting craft.Mohsin Hamid’s Mystical Exits —1:35We knew author Mohsin Hamid’s novel, “Exit West,” was going to be a good read. His prior best-sellers create emotionally rich worlds that create pathways between global events and personal revelation. But when we realized “Exit West” has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and chosen as this year’s Multnomah County Library Everybody Reads selection, we went running for the bookstore. A graceful love story about two refugees traveling the world through magical portals, it unpacks some crushing realities of the global refugee crisis, without losing sight of the personal losses of his characters. We’re listening this week to an excerpt of Think Out Loud’s full interview with Hamid, recorded live at Literary Arts.Call Him Lucky: Songwriter Chris Smither’s Lessons From the Road —12:52For 50 years, singer-songwriter Chris Smither has been honing his craft. Smither grew up in New Orleans, then moved between Paris, Mexico and the South, before eventually settling in New England. That wide map seems to give his songs a fluidity, but it’s the southern influence that really gives his songs their depth and color. Smother was in Portland for a recent date at the Alberta Rose Theater. opbmusic caught up with him for a pre-show soundcheck and conversation with singer-songwriter Robin Bacior. Smither’s new record is “Call Me Lucky.”Process, Past, and Presents with Stacey Tran — 20:22Poet Stacey Tran has a vibrant writing process. In addition to getting verse down on paper, she also collages words, phrases, and fragments in ways that may or may not end when her poems go to publication. For her new poetry collection, “Soap for the Dogs” (Gramma Press), Tran committed to paper prose poems, fake haiku, as well as experimental forms. A student of language, fluent in English and Vietnamese, she delights in how we use words and how we change them. Tran tells us about some of the touchstones for her work.Sitting Around A Tender Table — 33:26When Stacey Tran is not writing poems, she’s making space for others to tell their stories. It’s been a year since she first invited friends for a pot-luck style session of storytelling, with an emphasis on family, food and identity. Tender Table has become a hub for women, femmes, and gender non-binary people to find community. This week, Stacey invited two of her favorite storytellers from the series, Mercedes Orozco (former director of UNA Gallery) and Leslie Stevenson for a slightly-condensed (but very tasty) version.World Premiere of “Manahatta” at OSF — 43:11Oregon Shakespeare Festival is premiering a new play this spring by Mary Katherine Nagle — a playwright, a formidable lawyer, and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. It’s the story of a securities trader dealing with her own indigenous history, while her family struggles to hold onto their home during the Great Recession. "Manahatta” draws fascinating parallels between colonial American history and the financial crisis. Liam Moriarty of Jefferson Public Radio takes us behind the scenes in Ashland.Portland Tropical Gardens, A Small Correction — 49:34A couple of weeks ago on the show, we misidentified some of the artists working on the Portland Tropical Gardens. Xi Jie Ng, Michael Stevenson Jr, Erika Dedini, and Shawn Creeden are graduates of different programs within Portland State University’s School of Art and Design. Rachel Hines is a Senior Instructor in Art Practices at PSU. Also, Ralph Pugay is not teaching in the Art and Social Practice program; he is a visiting professor of Art Practice. OPB regrets the error.

Back in the cupping room at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th & Glisan in Portland for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation. When I do these things, it’s always nice to get to talk to people I’ve never met. Just as nice to renew acquaintances with people I haven’t talked to for a while. It’s been years since I’ve talked with famed Irish fiddler Kevin Burke. He is still travelling the world, he and his fiddle. He’s got a solo concert on St. Paddy’s Day at the Alberta Rose Theater on Saturday, March 17. We’ll talk about that, about growing up Irish in London, England. Whether he was a Mod or a Rocker. And all things Irish fiddle. He’s lived in Portland for decades now and he’s sitting right in front of me.

Dr. Patrick Archie M.D. joins us to talk about his musical project, Stereognosis, which blends breakbeats with middle-eastern string instrumentation and hand drumming to create acoustic trance music. He also talks about cancer research and his recent article, "Music-based interventions in palliative cancer care". Be sure to check out Stereognosis LIVE at the Alberta Rose Theater in Portland, OR, on August 29th, 2003. Go to Stereognosis.com for details and links to music and videos.
