Wednesday, March 30, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon KARLA BONOFF: Starry Nights has raised over $1 million Continued from page 1 it is very meaningful to have her back 19 years later. Her music stands the test of time, and her friendship and sup- port of this community are very special.” Karla began playing the legendary Troubadour as a teenager in Los Angeles in the late 1960s, where she formed a band, Bryndle, with some of the other young musicians she met there, Andrew Gold, Wendy Waldman and Kenny Edwards. They recorded an album that was never released, but Linda Ronstadt heard Karla’s songs and put three of them on her 1976 album, “Hasten Down the Wind.” While many of her songs became hits for other artists — “Someone To Lay Down Beside Me,” “Lose Again” and “All My Life” for Linda Ronstadt, “Home” for Bonnie Raitt and “Tell Me Why” for Wynonna among them — Bonoff earned acclaim for her own versions of these classic songs that were showcased in a series of solo albums. Most recently, Bonoff was featured alongside such artists as Bruce Springsteen, Keb’ Mo, Lyle Lovett and Shawn Colvin on the 2014 release “Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne,” which includes her elegant cover of Browne’s ballad “Something Fine.” Karla continues to perform across the United States and recently returned from a tour in Japan, where she has a devoted fan base. Performing with Bonoff will be Nina Gerber, one of the most respected guitarists in folk and Americana music. She was first inspired to become a guitarist at the age of 15 when she heard folk musician Kate Wolf sing in her hometown of Sebastapol, California. By the time she was 18, she had become Kate’s guitarist and over the years was an essential part of her music until Kate’s pass- ing in 1986. Since then, Nina has performed and/or recorded with Peter Rowan, Nanci Griffith, Greg Brown, Lucy Kaplansky, Mollie O’Brien, Dave Alvin, Rosalie Sorrels, Laurie Lewis, Terry Garthwaite, and many oth- ers. Her soulful enhancement of their music easily explains why several return the favor by appearing on Gerber’s solo albums “Not Before Noon” and “Good Music PINNACLE: No construction has begun Continued from page 9 Photo by marcel shain Singer-songwriter Karla Bonoff returns to Sisters April 3. with Good People.” For the Starry Nights show, doors open at 6 p.m., where guests can enjoy hors d’oeuvres prepared by stu- dents of the Sisters High School Culinary Arts pro- gram, under the guidance of their teacher, T.R.

Following the July 2015 approval by the City Council of the modifica- tions requested by MMV, Pinnacle filed three appeals with LUBA. Because of the limbo created for MMV by the appeals, construction of the senior living facility, which is approved and ready to start, has been delayed and their subdivision approval expires in December. When asked about the status of Adolf’s approved project, Community Development Director Patrick Davenport indicated that everything is approved and ready to go. Adolf sim- ply needs to pay the fees of approximately $250,000 to the City and pull his building permit. The Nugget attempted to contact Adolf for comment on his project. As of press time, he had not responded. Prevent a Litter, Fix Your Critter!
