CANNON BEACH — The Can-
non Beach History Center &
Museum will welcome local
musician Paul Dueber for
a concert at 7 p.m. Friday,
May 27.
Dueber has been per-
forming locally for decades.
He bought his current Guild
12-string guitar at Portland
Music when he got out of
the Marines in 1968. Dueber
sings songs in the tradition
of Peter, Paul and Mary,
Gordon Lightfoot, and Paul
Simon. He has played for
the Stormy Weather Arts
Festival, at the Coaster
Theatre for the Songwriters’
Hootenanny, as well as regu-
larly at the Bistro restaurant
in Cannon Beach.
Beyond music at con-
certs, pubs, galleries and
restaurants in town, Dueber
has been instrumental in
encouraging entertainers in
public spaces like Sand-
piper Square, where he and
his wife, Margo, have long
owned businesses.
That a guy who thinks
he sounds best alone in
a dark room should take
so passionately to public
performance is the result of
his long and happy career in
local theater.
At the event, the Cannon
Beach History Center & Mu-
seum wil also open its latest
exhibit, “From the Vault,”
which features unusual and
little-known bits of history
of Cannon Beach. From the

Atlantic, performing in New
York City and Boston before
heading west to live in
Portland. There, a friendship
with Kevin Burke, legend-
ary Irish iddler and fellow
Portlander, led to Connolly’s
recording “Bridgetown.”
Named for his adopted
home, “Bridgetown” is
a sparkling collection of
Irish and French tunes and
includes guest appearances
by Burke, Skip Parente,
Jim Chapman and Aidan
Brennan.
Neill has performed
throughout the world on
stages such as New York’s
Town Hall, San Francisco’s
Great American Music Hall
and Glasgow’s Old Fruit-
market. He has played as a
member of the Minus Five
as well as sharing stages
with Jello Biafra, Pete See-
ger, Sunny Day Real Estate,
Camper Van Beethoven and
countless more.
Following a few years’
residence in New York City,
Neill moved back to Port-
land and its thriving music
community. The Norway
Rats formed in 2007 to tour
behind his album “Brooklyn
Bridge,” followed by the
acclaimed “Goodbye to the
Rank and File” and “All
You Pretty Vandals.” Neill’s
most recent project is “Big
Bridges,” a collaboration
with Kathryn Claire, Takashi
