A roundup of the live music and other events we’ve heard about this weekend and beyond.
Live music at The Smokehouse
Friday, July 19 from 7 to 9 p.m., country singers Matt Buetow and Ian Miller bring a classic 60s Nashville sound to their original and classic covers.
Saturday, July 20 from 7 to 9 p.m., Simmer Down, a duo made up of Molly Elkins and Craig Jahne play a style of popular folk, country, rock, pop selections and acoustic arrangements, and for a special touch: Jahne’s guitar is made from an old tackle box.
Friday, July 26 from 7 to 9 p.m., Kris Stuart, a musician also seen in Wanderlodge and Root Jack, will play the Smokehouse. “Folk music, blues and country melt together in songs of sin and salvation written and gathered from a lifetime of mining for music,” the event description says.
Saturday, July 27 from 7 to 9 p.m., Your Strange Companions, a band — not this writer describing your friends — playing original country and rockabilly music will bring their brand of Oregon-by-way-of-Tennessee music to Gales Creek.
