Although droves of arrogant
artisans have parroted back the
barbed saying “those who can’t
do, teach,” in this modern age the
statement couldn’t be further from
the truth. Aaron Keim, Kate Power
and Steve Einhorn are living proof of
this quote’s irrelevance — in the realm
of string instruments, it would seem
there is nothing these folks can’t do,
teaching included.
Keim is a teacher, scholar,
musician, performer and luthier who
is known as an all-around Renaissance
man of string instruments. Though he
is usually seen gigging with his indie-
folk string band Boulder Acoustic
Society, Keim has side projects galore
— Flatfoot, Swing State and The Quiet
American — to name a few. When
he’s not doing things like earning
his master’s degree in music history,
repairing musical instruments or
publishing articles on depression-era
string bands, he is touring the country
and teaching workshops on ukulele,
old-time banjo, fi ngerstyle guitar and
string bass.
Kate Power and Steve Einhorn
are award-winning folksingers, artists,
writers and teachers. They built
and nourished Portland’s Artichoke
Music center, and have spent the last
year and a half tearing across the
country playing music and mentoring
beginning musicians. Sound like
people who can’t do, teaching? Still
think the world is fl at? These are
luminaries as diverse as their musical
repertoires; we’re pretty lucky to have
them all in one place for a night. Try
to get to this event early, parking and
seating will be quite an interesting
dance.
Aaron Keim, Kate Power and
Steve Einhorn play 7:30 pm Thursday,
April 5, at Avalon Lodge; $15.
