A Georgia-grown sing-

the pendulum across the
spectrum of what’s considered
to be today’s country music,
bridging gaps between modern
country, alternative country,
folk, Americana and even
classic rock.
A country-rock power-

voice. Her soft, sultry ballad
“Hurricane” won best song in

Americana musician
plays the Sou’Wester
SEAVIEW, Wash. — The
Sou’Wester Lodge will host
Americana musician Barna
Howard for a performance at
8 p.m. Saturday, June 11. The
show is open to the public,
and there is no cover charge.
Howard was born and
raised in a quintessential
Midwest town. His youth in
Eureka, Missouri, was pure
Americana: the sort of child-
hood that inspired “E.T.”-era
Spielberg — baseball cards
in his bicycle spokes, lying
freely down Main Street and
through neighbors’ backyards.
However, much of
Barna’s story is not unique
to his hometown, and, like
most of small town Amer-
ica, Eureka has lost some
of that charm over time.
Main Street has changed,
kids don’t run around quite
so carelessly, and in an
almost laughably cruel twist,
his childhood home was
knocked down in favor of a
Walmart parking lot.
After high school, Howard
moved north to study anima-
tion in one cold and windy
city and then east for love in
another. Years later, he blindly
followed two friends to the
Northwest, crossing the Rock-
ies for the irst time, in search
of inspiration, opportunity and
a fresh start.
Barna’s self-titled debut
album chronicled these
moves as he struggled with
the contrast between his
small town upbringing and
these big city wanderings.
The album was met with crit-
ical acclaim and underground
success, partly thanks to an
opportunely placed song in
the indie ilm “Drinking Bud-
dies.” One critic even likened

him to some “lost genius of
the ’60s.”
The songs on Barna
Howard’s second album,
“Quite A Feelin’,” ruminate
on his relationship with
home. Many of the album’s
tracks immortalize and
relect on the Eureka that
Howard once knew, while
others focus on the relation-
ships that deine his new
home out west in Portland.
Small town life has long
been celebrated in country
and folk music, but Barna’s
knack for capturing his own
deeply personal nostalgia
resonates in a rarely univer-
sal way.
The Sou’Wester Lodge is
located at 3728 J Place. For
