https://youtu.be/0j2LwdlOfz8 Anthony Lamar Furtado, 32 went out last night with the intent to have sex with a minor. He was probably gonna give her a ride on the handlebars of his bike. Chomo interaction is fairly quick with the cops very quick response time and from a little help from CC Unit viewers. Another clown arrested with a $100k bond for Arranging a meeting with a minor. #ccunit #chomo #sanbernardino #california #anthonylamarfurtado

When I first got signed up as a distributor one of the first people I signed up was Nicole Jones. Within the first couple months of Nicole's business, Nicole signed up Tony Furtado. Tony was one of those distributors that you just hope for. He ran with this business right away. If you look at this playing out, it's me signing up, then I signed up Nicole right away (who has had enormous success), then, Nicole signs up Tony and he goes on to have enormous success! It was one of those times in my business that there was just massive growth happening and during that massive growth, this guy Tony signs up and right from the start, Tony was a born leader. Tony was somebody who wanted to do this business. He wanted to do it a hundred percent. He wanted to run with it and Nicole and I had to just get out of Tony's way. The biggest mistake we can make with leaders who are fully ready to run with this business on their own is trying to hold them back, trying to tell them “You should do it this way. You should do it that way.”  Access them here > https://keithcallahan.com/book/ Grab a FREE copy of the Built to Last book, PDF version here >  https://keithcallahan.com/pdf

The singer/songwriter and banjo virtuoso has just released Decembering, his first true banjo record since his early recordings on Rounder Records thirty years ago.

To round out our video series on couples who both play music, either separately or together (or both), it was always in our plans to have Stephanie Schneiderman, singer, songwriter and guitarist in multiple genres and her husband Tony Furtado, virtuoso on a variety of stringed instruments and also a singer. The pandemic got in the way, but we were able to start using video again a couple of weeks ago. They will talk to us and also perform on the Café Artichoke stage. Look for more video episodes soon! Produced and edited by Gary Furlow.

Occasional video episodes of Coffeeshop Conversations @ Artichoke Music are back! Before the pandemic we left our series with couples who are also working musicians, some together, some not.. Our last one was Reecca Sanborn and Ji Tanzer https://www.oregonmusicnews.com/sanborn-tanzer-coffeeshop-conversations222 At the time we had two more in the works and we finally recorded them a couple of weeks ago. Next time we'll end the series with Tony Furtado and Stephanie Schneiderman but today it's Jana Cushman and Rachel Elllis of Darkswoon. One of the first things we'll talk about is what is it that they call the kind of music they do? They've settled, at the moment on "Elrectrogaze." They'll also perform two of their tunes which will end up on their next album.

Stacie and Shelly head to the local LDS temple in Leavitt, where they meet an amiable Bishop Talbot. Somewhat charmed by the ladies, he tells them of local history, the church, Manwill and the Appointed Brethren. Meanwhile at the diner, hands are played as Truck Buckman, the drifter, shoots his shot with Tom Poe and catches him off-guard. TOM POE: "That was a pretty good ploy. I did not see that coming at all." MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE...

We know a classic when we see one, hear one, feel one. Forgive me for sounding like a Cadillac ad voice over or something, but seriously, sometimes there’s just an ineffable sense that something beautiful and meaningful is unfolding. And while we can’t pull that off every single week, we try to put the pieces in place for a chemical reaction. And this week it happened. There was combustion and satisfaction. We ranged across the country and across roots music terrain with acoustic grand master Tony Furtado from Portland, OR, Texas-raised songwriter Curtis McMurtry, Colorado polyethnic joyride Gipsy Moon and veteran John Jorgenson’s remarkable bluegrass band.

April 24, 2017 Welcome back to another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation at our home for these things…World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan. Tony Furtado is here today. He is known world-wide as a stringed instrument player, especially the banjo and more often than not these days, as a singer/songwriter. He has a new album out, a live one called Cider House Sessions – Live at Reverend Nat’s and if you don’t know anything about that place, you will by the time we’re done. He’s got an album release on Saturday, May 6 at the Alberta Rose Theatre. Full details and tickets here. He’s married to Portland singer/songwriter Stephanie Schneiderman. Two musicians in the family? How does that work? Hear a track from the new album at the end of the conversation.

Mid-winter blues got you down? We've got the remedy for that. Whether its getting outside in the darkest time of year for a European-style light festival, hearing music from one of Portland's premiere Americana stars, or meeting Portland's brand new city commissioner, Chloe Eudaly, this week's show is guaranteed to warm your soul.Chloe Eudaly on Her Big Step from Indie Bookstore Owner to City Commissioner - 1:23Chloe Eudaly started work as Portland’s newest commissioner amid a winter weather event that shut down city offices. In a town wracked by tumultuous gentrification, Eudaly is a single mom, a renter, and an eastsider who beat a much better-funded incumbent. In her first act as Commissioner, Eudaly has put up a proposal requiring landlords to pay relocation costs when tenants are evicted without cause that will go before council on Feb. 2. The Portland Winter Light Festival Shines Away the S.A.D. - 11:08You can stay in and be cozy at this time of year; no one would blame you. But the Portland Winter Lights Festival is giving you a reason to head outside on Feb. 1–4. Now in its second year, the fest fills Portland's waterfront between OMSI and the Zidell Yards with flashing drones, epics projections, other crazy light art and free events to celebrate the spirit of winter and the warmth of community. What It Takes to Design an Iconic Album Cover - 17:32So much goes into the making of a great record, but sometimes it’s the album art that bumps a great record into the realm of the iconic. Think about the collection of famous faces on the front of the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” or that baby bobbing in the pool on the cover of Nirvana’s "Nevermind," or that very trippy prism on Pink Floyd’s "Dark Side of the Moon." Portland is home to many artists, and opbmusic welcomed two innovative designers, Orion Landau of the indie metal record label Relapse and Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Company, into the studio to chat about their careers and which album covers inspire them. PDX Jazz Brings Music and Art to the Classroom - 24:54How do you get kids to understand a musical form that has no rules, no walls? Art can help. Volunteers with PDX Jazz have spent the winter fanning out in metro-area schools, playing music for kids and talking to them about jazz history. Teachers like Katie Robinson at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt then work with the kids on designing jazz album covers. All the students’ work will be part of a Feb. 7 art show at the Ace Hotel's event space, The Cleaners, in Portland. Douglas County Voters Grapple with their Vote to Close the Libraries - 28:39As a kid, do you remember trips to the library? Story time? Or maybe you stop by as an adult to get books and movies or use the computers. Douglas County readers will no longer have that option. In the November election, they failed to pass a measure that would create a special taxing district to fund the libraries, and now all of the branches of the Douglas County Library System, centered around Roseburg, will close by the end of May. Live Music from Americana Chameleon Tony Furtado - 34:46Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tony Furtado is an Americana chameleon. He effortlessly shifts between bluegrass, folk, blues, old time, and rock sounds. It’s a fascinating career arc that was beautifully captured in his most recent release, a live album called “Cider House Sessions” recorded at Portland’s Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider. Writer Sallie Tisdale on Mining the Deeply Personal - 40:31The Portland writer Sallie Tisdale is one of Oregon’s true literary treasures. She’s the author of eight books, including “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Stepping Westward,” but she is first and foremost an essayist — someone who can make art out of her process of trying to make sense of the world. Her latest book, "Violation," is a collection of essays that she wrote over the past three decades.

Every summer, writers from all over the country head to the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains for Summer Fishtrap, a conference about writing and the West. This year, the festival runs July 10–16 with a slew of workshops, public events, and a keynote talk by the award-winning nature writer Robert Michael Pyle.In anticipation of the event, we're going to listen back to a live show we did at the festival last year, where we talked with the National Book Award–winner Timothy Egan, several founders of the festival, and two up-and-coming Native writers. 01:00 A round table with festival founders Kim Stafford (writer and Lewis and Clark professor) and Rich Wandschneider (former longtime Fishtrap director and now head of the Josephy library), as well as festival board president Rose Caslar, a Wallowa County native who took her first Fishtrap class at 15. They talk about Josephy's influence, the place of Western writing, the reaction to hanging a four-point buck rack in a Lewis and Clark College dormitory and the area's troubled relationship with its original inhabitants, the Nez Perce. 13:30 - The Josephy Center for Arts and Culture director, Cheryl Coughlan, tells us about how the center helps to culture a creative life in a rural community. 17:56 - Keynote speaker Timothy Egan discusses reporting on stories hidden in plain site. Best known for his National Book Award–winning “The Worst Hard Time,” chronicling Dust Bowl stories, Egan has also written about the photographer Edward Curtis, the wildfire that gave rise to the U.S. Forest Service and western issues of all types for his regular op-eds in the "New York Times." His published the book he told us about, "The Immortal Irishman," in March. 25:10 - We venture to Fishtrap's lodge for a youth workshop on writing hip-hop theater with poet Myrlin Hepworth, who has a new mixtape out called "Eulogy in Blue." 29:10 - Roberta Connor, the director of the Tamastlikt Cultural Institute whose family includes Nez Perce, Umatilla and Cayuse ancestry, was invited to Fishtrap to talk about what happens when Native stories are told by white writers and to share some of the hidden stories that speak most deeply to her.36:57 - We close with a discussion with two of this year's most rambunctious workshop leaders, writers Erika Wurth and Sherwin Bitsui. Wurth, who is Apache, Chickasaw and Cherokee, most recently published "Crazy Horse's Girlfriend" and is working on a novel about Native gangs. Bitsui is a Diné from the Navajo Reservation in White Cone, Arizona, and his most recent poetry collection, "Floodsong," won the American Book Award and the PEN Open Book Award.The music in this week's show comes from Tony Furtado's newest album, "The Bell." Furtado has a number of Oregon shows coming up, including on July 28 in Bend at the Volcanic Theatre and on August 3 in Sandy at Meinig Park.

Every summer, writers from all over the country head to the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains for Summer Fishtrap, a conference about writing and the West. This year, they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the festival's founders, the journalist and historian Alvin Josephy, with the theme “Hidden From History: Stories We Haven’t Heard, Stories We Haven’t Told.”We couldn't resist the draw of a roadtrip to the mountains, so we invited a number of Fishtrap founders and visiting writers to join us for a live show at the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture. A round table with festival founders Kim Stafford (writer and Lewis and Clark professor) and Rich Wandschneider (former longtime Fishtrap director and now head of the Josephy library), as well as festival board president Rose Caslar, a Wallowa County native who took her first Fishtrap class at 15.
