Enjoy great music at Artichoke Music, 2007 SE Powell Blvd. this month. Sunday, August 13, 7:30 pm Curtis Salado and Alan Hager take the stage. Since 2003 they’ve been making music together and playing at festivals all over the region and country. This is a chance to sit just a few feet away in Portland’s Premier Listening Room and soak up the perfect compliment Salado’s voice and harmonica provides to Hager’s hypnotic guitar work. Guaranteed to sell out, grab your ticket early.
The following week, Mary Flower and Mark Shark combine their talents for a rare and intimate evening of camaraderie and world class musicianship at Artichoke. Flower began calling Portland home in 2003 and impresses crowds and critics at folk festivals in America and abroad while maintaining a parallel career as a renowned guitar teacher. Shark has 50+ years of experience as a multi-instrumentalist, performer, composer, author and educator, with his book, “The Tao of Tunings” informing and inspiring players around the world. Doors open at 6:30 pm for the 7 pm show Saturday, August 19.
Tickets for both shows ($30 and $20, respectively) available at artichokemusic.org under the Classes & Events tab.
