Without spending loads of time
and money, you’d love to tap

and purposes. But with so many
options — and so much confus-
ing tech-speak — it’s hard to
know where to start.
In this three-hour workshop,
instructor Deb Vanasse will cov-
er websites and electronic news-
letters, two foundational strate-
gies for every artist and writer.
Whether you’re starting from
scratch or looking to refresh your
web presence, you’ll leave with
information, ideas and a plan of
action.
This is a workshop for par-
ticipants with tech skills from
beginner to intermediate. Par-

Cedar Teeth brings roots

ASTORIA — Northwest roots

band hailing from the Cascade
foothills of Colton. For many
years, the fellas have been
working together in a shed at
the edge of an ancient forest.
The songs of Cedar Teeth
come together organically:

the box, assembled by many
hands. Crafting a sound that
blends rough and rustic folk
rock with lyrical American
roots, the music of Cedar Teeth
is drawn from their experiences
and sentiments of living on the
frontier dividing the wilderness
and the city. Their debut album
“Hoot” explores the tensions of
a generation: love, materialism
and destruction in a morally
ambivalent landscape.
Rayson Gordon’s driving
and melodic bass lines are
the steady pulse at the heart
of Cedar Teeth. Founder and
creative contrarian, Gordon is
also the artistic voice of the
band and its illustrator.

Precourt channels an idiosyn-

distinct leads remain tethered
to the ether. A life-long search-
er, dreamer and pioneer, Pre-
court’s musical meditations
weave through Cedar Teeth’s
roots and boughs.
Primary
vocalist
and
acoustic guitarist Dylan Mar-
tell is the visceral yet vulner-
able voice of Cedar Teeth.
Martell’s lyrics, composed of
stark and paradoxical imagery,
are the lens through which the
music is focused.
Incendiary behind the
drums, but uniquely serene
with banjo in hand, Aaron
Troxel also supplies haunting
gospel-tinged harmonies and
lead vocals. An astute critic
and interpreter, Troxel focuses
each member’s eclectic palette
into a single sonic vision.
Adam Murray, whether on
guitar, keyboard, vocals or
drums, is the rug that ties the
room together. Murray is the
spirited guide and irreverent
translator, endearing the audi-
ence to the band.
