This will be a fantastic show fi lled with oohs, aahs, and things that will blow your mind. This is NOT your regular drag show, this is the Caravan of GLAM.”- Justin Buckles/Ecstacy Inferno – Creators/Producers T ICKETS S OLD AT THE D OOR CHINOOK, Wash. — Friends of Chinook School will once again celebrate Shakespeare this November.

Hear the country music of Loretta Lynn ASTORIA — A group of Oregon musicians paying tribute to country music leg- end Loretta Lynn will make a stop in Astoria during their fall tour of the Oregon Coast. Fronted by Portland folk-country songstress Mary Rondthaler, the five- piece band will perform “Hey Loretta!” —two 45-minute sets featuring the songs of Lynn at Clastop Community College’s Performing Arts Center. The shows take place at 7p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13. Tickets are $15 and are available in advance at the Rusty Cup, located at 1213 Commercial St., and online at www.brownpapertickets.com Also known as the Coal Miner’s Daughter, Lynn wrote many of her own songs and has been dubbed the Queen of Country Music throughout her five-decade career. In 1972, she was the first woman to be nominated and named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association. She is the only woman to have won the title of CMA Artist of the Decade for the ’70s. Rondthaler has spent many years honing her craft around the Portland music scene. She has performed and recorded with George Chudacoff, Succotash, The Sagebrush Sisters and The Rocky Butte Wranglers. She can be seen regularly singing country and western songs with the Wranglers at nightclubs around the North- west, as well as with The Sagebrush Sisters, a three- piece cowgirl swing band. Rondthaler is known for her knack of picking great unknown songs from the repertoires of many legend- ary country music artists. The band features three graduates of Oregon State University who studied music under Professor Neal Grandstaff, widely known for his lifelong contribution to music performance and education. They are Justin Schepige on bass, Tommy Brownson on drums and Erik Crew on lead guitar. Joining them on pedal steel guitar will be veteran Nashville touring pro and session player Gary Thors- en, who toured with Lynn’s twin daughters, The Lynns. He has worked for many other country music greats, including Tanya Tucker.
