The venue will host The Hey-Ho Trio for a concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 9. The trio is half of Portland’s swing band the Midnight Serenaders. The Hey-Ho Trio formed in 2005, putting together a sound reminiscent of the small swing combos popular during the ’20s and ’30s, adding a Hawaiian lavor with the inclusion of ukulele and Hawaiian steel guitar. Led by crooner and rhythm guitarist Doug Sammons, the trio’s repertoire consists of gems from the past, as well as vintage-sounding original songs. The group is illed out with Dee Settlemi- er and Doc Stein.

She was a found- ing member of the acoustic folk-rock group Mad Hattie. More recently there’s been a buzz about Settlemier’s other project, the Libertine Belles, an all-female vocal group.

In 1985 he moved to the Portland area, where he played in vari- ous bands including Retta and the Smart Fellas and Fritz Richmond’s Barbe- que Orchestra.
